Chapter 236: Converging the Brute Hammer
Chapter 236: Converging the Brute Hammer
Follow the large group through the mountain tunnel. Halfway up the mountain, a huge fortress stood at the foot of the hill from the exit of the tunnel. The fort was surrounded by camps, and there were many griffins flying in the sky, and these griffons had a large number of feathered dwarves on their backs. It's just that because of the griffins under them, Vane and the other High Elves can't see it very clearly.
Approaching the fortress at the foot of the hill, the camp was already in sight, and the dwarves and griffons patrolling the camp could be seen clearly. The dwarves did not wear heavy plate armor, but only a warhammer pinned to their waists and a crest of feathers on their heads. Just like the Indians of the past. They were dressed very lightly, and there was no sign that they were there to fight. Instead, they were followed by a griffon as they patrolled the camp.
"What's the matter with these dwarves?" Barka looked at Vane in bewilderment, waiting for Vane's answer.
Not only Balka, but also Kalia and Anna and Valera were also puzzled by the situation of these Hammer Dwarves. After repelling the attacks of the Black Iron Dwarves, the Hammer Dwarves relocated to Hinterland as a whole because the capital was cursed to be uninhabitable.
This part of Hinterland is a place with huge towering trees and dense jungle. And, of course, trolls who are hostile to all races. Hammer Dwarves, like the High Elves, are trolls as their main enemies in the Hinterland region. There are several tribes of trolls who regularly attack lone dwarves, so it's not a peaceful place.
After the Hammer Dwarves migrated to Hinterland, they were terrified of living underground due to the curse of the capital, so their new capital was built on the hills. Gradually, they developed a special relationship with the griffons living in Hinterland, so they now have a new class: griffon knights, and they usually fight with griffins. Therefore, the capital of the Brute Hammer Dwarves was named: Eagle's Nest Mountain.
"I don't know, they should be attacking the enemy from heaven with the griffons on the ground. In order to lighten the burden on the griffins, they will wear light equipment. Vane looked at the dwarves and griffons patrolling the camp and said thoughtfully.
"I guess that's how it should be." Anna listened to Vane's 'guess' and looked up at the griffons flying in the sky and the dwarves on their backs.
After entering the camp, Vane and the others were arranged near Walker's tent. But Venn and the others were not qualified to participate in the military conference. The only way to do this was to wait until Walker was done with the meeting and come back to inform them and tell Wayne what they needed to do.
In fact, Walker is also not qualified to participate in truly confidential military discussions. The only people who could participate were the two dwarven kings and their lieutenants, as well as the gnome master craftsman and the one Vane had seen, among whom Vandal Ray Spear was the military deputy of the Copperbeard Dwarven King. Everything was decided by these chiefs, and then assigned to the senior officers of Walker's rank. Finally, the order was passed down layer by layer. The difference between Walker is that he also communicates employment instructions and mission requirements to Vane.
"What's going on with you guys?" As soon as he entered the tent, the king of the bronze-bearded dwarves immediately spoke, "If you don't have enough equipment, we can provide you with some, but I don't think it's possible. ”
"Of course, we didn't bring ground troops with us this time. They're still in Eagle's Nest to fend off the damn trolls. This time led by our newly formed Griffin Knights, they can attack those on the ground from the sky, and they can also observe the enemy from the air. However, despite its high weight capacity, the griffin still can't equip plate armor on its body, which is too heavy. So our plate armor equipment is equipped on the warriors of ground combat. The High Lord of the Hammer Dwarves explained with a wave of his hand to King Copperbeard.
"I see. I thought you didn't have any equipment to move quickly. King Copperbeard nodded.
"Attack the enemy from the air?" When the gnome master heard the Hammerlord's description of the griffin knight, a new inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind. It is believed that it will not be long before the Pygmy engineering aircraft will come out.
After the Copperbeard King and the dwarf master craftsman were fine, the Hammerlord took out a map and said, "Before you came, I had already sent someone to investigate. The Black Iron Dwarves have been informed that we are going to attack them, so they have laid down a heavy army at the end of the Valley of the Kings tunnel, and it would be very difficult for us to attack directly. ”
"It's a big problem, our army can't spread out in the tunnel, and if they put explosives and something like that in the tunnel and destroy the mountain tunnel, we might be wiped out." Vandal looked at the military intelligence map that the Brute Hammer Lord had brought out, and said as he thought about it.
"That's right, if the tunnel collapses, our army will suffer heavy losses." The deputy of the dwarf master craftsman also spoke.
He was not as good as Vandal Spear in military matters, so he was not going to open his mouth if there was no problem with military operations. These are left to the deputy of the Vandal Thunder Spear and the Brute Hammer Lord. But when it comes to engineering issues, he has a say.
"Don't worry about that." The Hammerlord's deputy walked up to Vandal and the dwarf deputy and said, "First of all, let's check the tunnel well, if there is a problem, we will have to delay the attack for a while." It doesn't matter if you troubleshoot the problem or go the other way. ”
"Another way?" Vandal asked suspiciously.
"Yes, our scouts, while scouting, found another path that led to the opposite side. The entrance connects to the Wasteland. The Hammerlord's lieutenant explained.
"In the case of the barren land, the distance is too far, and it is still a question whether the human side can hold out until that time." Vandal hesitated a little after hearing this.
"Don't worry about it at all. We've sent griffon knights to the humans. Their side has not yet started to attack, and is currently in the defense of the Black Iron Clan. When we attack, just tell them to attack together. The Hammerlord's deputy explained with a smile.
"If that's the case, that's a lot easier to say." Vandal nodded and asked, "Have you made any action plan first, let's discuss it together." ”
