Chapter 576: The New Commander of Thunder Cliff
The nezumi and goblins who received the news glanced at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
In fact, just three days ago, the stone that had just returned from "Orgrim" came here, brought them a lot of daily necessities and a few tons of newly mined dimensional stones, and asked Paceti to open a list for him to see what new materials or equipment needed to be purchased, but the latter thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any requirements for the equipment.
For the new lab, both the Nezumi Engineer Warlock and the Goblin Tinker were very satisfied.
Although it has a small footprint than the Goblin Arsenal, it has two separate laboratories and four additional empty rooms that can be used to store materials or semi-finished products.
The highlight of this is, of course, these two labs.
After receiving the notice of the leader's move, the two of them were a little reluctant, and finally set up the laboratory in the arsenal, and had to move away, not only delaying time, but also being careful that the equipment was damaged during transportation, but the stone said very generously, you don't need to bring anything, just bring people, and everything else is here.
It turns out that the black orc lord did not brag, after coming to "Nomorigan", they found that although there was almost nothing here, the only laboratory was extremely professional, and the various equipment was very complete, and what was even more surprising was that each of the two laboratories had a completely different style of equipment, which belonged to the nezumi and the greenskinned technology system, which was like tailor-made for Pesti and Abu.
Just like its name, "Crazy Gopher Lab", the two instantly fell in love with it.
Even if the leader came, they had no time to take care of it, and devoted themselves to the study of the steam engine, but unfortunately due to lack of experience and limited ability, this experiment finally fell short, and they had to start all over again.
So it's a little strange, even if the boss is free now, he should know that they are all busy, and the most important thing is that he also brought another person this time, there must be something.
There wasn't much time for the two of them to guess, and as soon as they went out, they bumped into a large group of greenskins in a hurry.
The tall figure walking in front was naturally a stone, and the look on his face was a little anxious.
As Pesti and Abu thought, the Black Orc Lord was not only not idle, but also very busy during this time.
After telling the two of them to move the laboratory to "Nomorigan" quickly, he continued to go south, first going around "Garkison" to fill his stomach, and then continuing on the road to the "Thunder Cliff" in the northeast.
With the shift in the focus of the tribe's overall development and the tightening of control over the entire "Rabid Trail", the importance of this stronghold does not seem to be as prominent as it once was.
As a mere fortress, its presence is far inferior to that of several other strongholds in Karimdor, and it has not even been guarded by a commander-level leader for a long time, but that doesn't mean that the stone has forgotten about it.
That's right, because of the special and close relationship with "Fetenburg", and the existence of the two forces of "Forgiveness Mercenary Regiment" and "Gundred Brotherhood", the western part of the "Rabid Dog Trail" has long been firmly in the hands of the "Broken Claw Tribe", just like their back garden.
As for the east, the side near the "Dark Lands", also because of the special identity and encounters of Ayigunu, it maintains good cooperation with the nearest chaotic dwarf city "Ggoth Fortress", it can be said that it is difficult for someone to suddenly appear under the city of "Thunder Cliff" like the previous bandits.
The current "Rabid Dog Trail" is indeed very peaceful, don't forget, there is also a powerful tomb army hidden in the "Valley of the Dead Tomb" in the north, which can be mobilized at any time, but there is no absolute, there is no guarantee when there will be beastmen or chaotic creatures nearby, and not to mention anything else, as far as the stone knows, in the "Humpback Mountain" at the east exit of the "Rabid Dog Trail", there is a warlord clan that can rank close to the top ten of the nezumi, and it must not be taken lightly.
Although due to lack of manpower, he has not specially arranged for the leader to guard this place recently, but the garrison strength of "Thunder Cliff" has not been weakened, there are 2,000 goblin archers, 1,000 goblin spearmen and 1,000 goblin tyrants stationed all year round, and a large number of "dive destruction catapults" have also been arranged, and more importantly, with the increase of time, the city walls here are also constantly getting taller and thicker.
Compared with when it was first built, the height of the wall has reached 15 meters, the thickness has reached 7 meters, and in addition to the main wall, there is a semicircular wall of the same height, which encloses the original three gates.
This is the "urn city" that the stone designed with the help of previous memories, and now it has been completed thanks to the efforts of goblin technicians and craftsmen.
This place is so important that once it is lost, the enemy can drive straight into the "Orgrimmar", so he spent a lot of time and money to strengthen the walls of this place to the point where ordinary people despair.
When the black orcs arrived at the "Thunder Cliff" and saw the majestic city wall with their own eyes, their hearts suddenly felt much more steady.
But the reality is not as rosy as it seems. After turning around the stronghold, his eyebrows furrowed again.
It's not enough!
The defense of a stronghold does not only come from the bricks under your feet, but more importantly from the faith of the defenders.
Things are dead, but hearts are alive.
That was another thing he was worried about before he came.
Recently, due to the expansion of the territory, the leaders of the tribe have been scattered everywhere, and the reserve force has not yet fully grown, and such an important stronghold as "Thunder Cliff" is only led by ordinary goblin archer leaders.
After all, his ability is still limited, and it can be seen that after a few years of peace, the guards here are obviously a little lax, and they are not as strict as "Steel Rock" at all.
If something happens here in the future, it must be because of this.
With such a big loophole, the stone must not turn a blind eye, and he felt that he must have left a general who followed him, and with this person, this place can be regarded as truly impregnable.
Big Bear, who had also been stationed at the "Thunder Cliff" before, but not for long, and then Stone also wanted him to defend one side, but he was refused, for the simple reason that he wanted to always be by the leader's side to participate in every battle.
But this time is different from the past, first of all, there is indeed a shortage of people, Skarsnik is in "Ironforge", and he has to take care of "Orgrim", so he has no time to care about this side.
The others were further away, Sgenara in the "Kuva Forest", Hawkeye in the "Rusty Water Harbor", and Urzago in the "Riptide Fort", all of which could not leave.
There are only two leaders in "Steel Rock", Moglu and Smu, but they both have their own tasks, the former is responsible for defense, the latter is responsible for attacking, and now Simu is temporarily free, but when the war starts, he will be responsible for leading the orc army, and it is impossible to stay in "Thunder Cliff" for a long time.
As for the leaders of the other new generations, the stone is not at ease, and when it comes to calculations, only the big bear is the most suitable.
So no matter how much he objected this time, the Black Orcs were determined to keep the captain of their personal guards.
After whispering a few words to him, Big Bear's complaining little eyes finally resolved.
The leader's tone was very firm, he had no choice, he had to stay, and he was also given a new task, to pay close attention to the movements of the nezumi clan in the east, which should be to prepare for the future move, which can be regarded as a small adjustment in the boring life in the future.
As for now, the fart commander can only turn his head and vent his grievances on those lazy goblin guards, and it can be expected that their good days are over.
