Chapter 033: Storm
"Human, your fighting spirit is revered by the mountain armor people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Shiquan Mountain Armor people are willing to choose to surrender and join your camp! Redeem your glory with blood and loyalty! β
The Stonefist Warriors are straightforward, but that doesn't mean they're idiots who can't think. There is an old saying in China, it is better to die than to live. Faced with the choice between life and death, the scales in anyone's heart will only tilt towards the side of life.
Seeing the Stone Fist Patriarch Askar kneeling on one knee, the Hammer Patriarch Ovge wanted to say something, but when he saw that it wanted to speak, he stopped talking, and finally looked at the few clan warriors around him, and he reluctantly lowered his proud head. Like the Stonefist Patriarch Aska, the Hammerhammer Patriarch Ovge chose to bend his knees and submit......
The bowing of the heads of the patriarchs of the two clans of the mountain armor people gave Sauron a special look in his eyes, and directly conquering a race on the battlefield was the highest expression of the will to roar, and it was also the ultimate goal of Sauron's conquest of the mountain armor people, this race. With a clang, Zoro drew his short sword, then strode over to the two mountain armor patriarchs, pressing the cold blade against their necks, even cutting each other's skin.
Kill, or accept the other party's surrender and allegiance! At this moment, it is all in the hands of Sauron alone. And this is the pleasure of conquest, the life and death of all things under his feet, only between the thoughts of Sauron.
When they saw that their patriarch was facing the threat of death, the mountain armor warriors who were surrounding wanted to attack, but unfortunately they had already been confiscated from their weapons, and there were five hundred minotaur totem warriors who were staring at them with vicious eyes.
Stonefist Patriarch Aska and Hammerhammer Patriarch Ovge are willing to bow their heads and accept their fate. This gave Zoro a satisfied look. As the saying goes, those who know the times are the masters, and if they are just blindly begging for death, then Sauron doesn't mind cutting the throats of the stubborn at all, "Who said that the Shanjia people are a stubborn race that would rather die in battle than surrender!" "The weak will eventually choose to cling to the strong, and the scene in front of him once again proves the law of conquest in Sauron's heart.
"I, Supreme Commander of the Dragon Court, Sauron, accept your allegiance! As long as you offer loyalty and glory, I am by no means a stingy lord. I will now confer upon you two the highest position of commander of a thousand commanders. The underground world is still the stronghold of the mountain armor people! The premise is - you must help me conquer this city of steel! β
With the help of the Mind Magic Mind Reading Technique, Zoro naturally knew how sincere the two Mountain Armor Patriarchs were. This caused him to finally relax his sword and tap Askar and Ovg on the shoulders twice.
"Your Lord, if you allow you, order the capture of the City of Steel now. The despicable Coldiron Clan, who want to devour the Stonefist and Hammer clans' dominions, will surely be resisted. I know a secret way, and now is the time to punish the vile! I vow to wipe out with my blood the Cold Iron Clan, which brought shame to the entire Shanjia race. β
When the Hammer Patriarch Ovge said this, his eyes flashed with a scorching fire of vengeance. The most intolerable thing for the violent Hammer Mountain Armor is betrayal from their own clan.
β¦β¦β¦
When the Iron Patriarch Ibeck ordered the Iron Castle to be guarded, it was taking its people to indulge in the joy of self-esteem! Executing the diehards of the two remaining clans in the castle, Ibek smashed the thrones of the other two chiefs, leaving him alone to sit in the main hall.
But when it climbed back up the castle, Ibek couldn't laugh.
There were no more stone fists and hammer carapaces on the battlefield, and in Ibek's eyes, there were only dense fishmen who could not see the edges. And a huge whale bone rising from the underground river, as well as a dense bone ladder!
"He didn't even propose to negotiate with meβ"
The situation on the battlefield in front of him is a little different from what Ibek expected, but it is better to let the other party know the indestructibility of the steel castle first, so that he can have more bargaining chips in the next negotiations.
Ibeck believed that as long as he guarded the city gate and the small section of the city wall, even if he couldn't talk, he could force the other party to exit the underground world and disappear from his sight. Ibek has this confidence!
The reason why the Iron Castle is impregnable is that in addition to the eight hundred Cold Iron Mountain Armor on the city walls, it also has a large number of Pangolin archers, as well as more and more powerful torsion spring ballistas!
As early as the last era, the once glorious mountain carinads were constantly facing the threat of powerful elven forces. The mountain carinths who rule the pangolins and goblins have come up with many powerful weapons of war!
In the beginning, a weapon that eclipsed all other powers was born - the goblin craftsmen designed and built the first torsion spring ballista in the history of warfare!
The Goblin design ballista has a sturdy bracket on which the main beam rests and two torsion spring sets on either side of the front end.
Each spring set drives a crossbow arm, the end of which is connected to a bowstring, in the center of which is a braided mesh bag to hold the projectile.
The upper side of the beam has a long dovetail groove, a slide with a long guide rail can slide back and forth along the long groove, and the rear end of the slider is equipped with a set of ingenious firing mechanism. The bowstring can be easily locked and released, the end of the beam is equipped with a winch, and the user can move the slider by pulling the handle or dragging the rope.
When the bowstring is pulled back and fixed by the firing mechanism, the weapon is in a state of readiness. In order to make it less laborious to operate the winch, metal racks were set on both sides of the beam, which not only made it possible to open the bow in one go, but also adjusted the projectile power of the weapon to obtain the required range.
This torsion spring ballista is both powerful and long-ranged! It can be described as a very powerful defensive weapon!
Ibek simply didn't believe that with just 30,000 fishmen and a few bones, he could break through the steel castle that the mountain cariners were so proud of.
β¦β¦
When the Elder of the Cold Iron Clan, Ibek, watched the fish-men work in vain under the city walls, constantly bursting with blood mist and corpses. Sauron has led the Minotaurs, and the Legion Elite, led by the two Mountain Armor Chiefs, into the interior of the Steel Citadel through a filthy secret passage.
It was said to be a secret passage, but it was only when I came to know that it was just a narrow sewer used by the Shanjia people to discharge sewage. Only one person can be allowed to pass through at a time, not to mention, the secret passage is full of stool from the mountain armor people!
Sius, the Commander, Barson the Minotaur, and many more of their subordinates kept cursing in their mouths. When the stool is smeared all over the cheeks, the nose is filled with the smell of nausea and nausea. Anyone can get annoyed!
But for the sake of the big picture, Zoro endured, even though he was no less annoyed than others. Reaching out to pinch the maggots that were crawling on his face, Zoro chose to remain silent.
The narrow passage can only accommodate one person at a time, and it will take less than an hour for 2,000 combat units to climb through this hidden 'sewer'.
And in this short period of time, in order to attract the attention of the Hantie Mountain Armor people, the fish-man corps of the amphibious tribe has killed no less than 3,000 people under the city wall. Leaving behind 3,000 corpses, the Fish-Man Corps had retreated into the underground river, resting in the riverbed.
At the cost of a few thousand fishmen, the Octopus Deputy Matriarch fulfilled its promise and bought time for Sauron's sneak attack!
At the other end of the passage, there is a facility similar to a public toilet. After an hour of swimming in the stinking sewers, the filth was unbearable. According to the two mountain armor patriarchs, this is the outside of the council chamber. Sauron immediately made a gesture, and two thousand combat units immediately imposed martial law and occupied this core area.
The heavy carved iron doors of the council chamber are carved with mantra-like Shanjia characters, intricate patterns with an ancient bronze sheen.
Pushing open the iron door, as soon as you enter the council hall, you will be greeted by a cold atmosphere, the luxurious black marble floor is not stained with a trace of dust, and the dark red carpet spreads along the ancient steps all the way to the doorway.
The crystal chandelier in the middle of the hall did not emit any light, only the candle flames flickered brightly and flickering, and the bright red candle oil slowly dripped down the smooth countertop, surrounded by a faint smell of solemnity and a strong sense of oppression......
Of the three thrones that were usually tied up in the hall, only one was left at this time, black and high-profile, which belonged to the Elder of the Cold Iron Clan, Ibek. Without even waiting for the news of the death of the Hammer Patriarch and the Stonefist Patriarch, Ibek hurriedly withdrew the two thrones, which shows how impatient the other party's wolf ambitions are.
Everything in front of him made the two mountain armor patriarchs suddenly rise with unbearable anger!
"Everything of the Shanjia people is destroyed in the hands of these despicable people!" The Hammer Patriarch Ovge lifted the heavy axe in his hand and was about to slash down towards the only throne above the hall, but he didn't want to be stopped by the Ringwraith.
Zoro stared at him, "Ovg, now is not the time to worry about this, you and the Stonefist Patriarch Askar will quickly collect your own people. We will have a decisive battle with the despicable Cold Iron Mountain Armor people in the interior of the steel castle! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The carapace is only half the height of a normal human, but due to its strong and sturdy physique, it weighs almost the same as a human. Female beetles are slightly lower and weigh much less than males. Female beetles usually have dark brown or light brown skin, dark eyes, and hair that is generally the color of their own clan. (Hammer Clan Red.) Stonefist Dwarf metallic. Cold Iron Dwarf White. οΌ
Since the female beetles never leave their clans, it is rumored that the female beetles have the same thick beards as the men.
In Sauron's eyes, these female carapaces were no different except that they were very low in height and a little thinner than the men in the scarlets.
However, in the aesthetics of the beetles, only the strong female beetles are beauties. The slender and thin can only be a female single!
If marrying a strong female beetle requires an entire wine kiln, then a slender and thin female beetle only needs a barrel of fine wine to get a wife. Male carapaces believe that only a strong female partner can produce a qualified offspring......
The mountain carapaces are now a withered race, with extremely low fertility and a scarcity of males.
So far, the two Shanjia patriarchs have only been able to gather about 2,000 female Shanjia people in the clan to fight. Ordinary Panshan people are excluded, in close combat, the combat effectiveness of the Panshan and the fishmen is not much different, and in addition, the Panshan people are naturally timid, so they do not play any role at all.
It stands to reason that five hundred Minotaur Totem Warriors plus 1,500 legion infantry can easily eat less than a thousand Cold Iron Mountain Armor Warriors. The reason why the army is so popular is that the patriarch of the Hammer Mountain Armor Clan, Ovge, and the patriarch of the Stone Fist Armor Clan, Aska, have a worry in their hearts, or it can be said that there is a secret hidden.
Through mind-reading, even without the two of them explicitly, Zoro had already penetrated their thoughts. The secret hidden in the hearts of the two of them is a 'Weapon of the Gods', a Storm Hammer that has been passed down for countless generations in the Shanjia society!
Ovg and Askar are worried that the Coldiron Patriarch Ibek has taken the Stormhammer from the ancestral temple of the Shanjia people!
Although Sauron didn't know what kind of lethality this Stormhammer had, in his heart, he was already bound to get the Stormhammer!
"The deceitful will deceive himself, hum, it's just right not to tell Lao Tzu, when the time comes, see the opportunity, grab the storm hammer, and then ask three questions!"
For the last weapon of the gods, the Eagle King's White Bone Scepter, Sauron still has a deep memory. Being one with oneself, even Sauron, there is no way to hand over the Bone Scepter again.
"Lord Zoro......"
The Stonefist Patriarch Askar stopped talking, and through mind reading, Zoro knew it wanted to tell him about the Stormhammer. But under the eye signal of the Hammer Patriarch Ovg, the Stone Fist Patriarch Aska made a sharp turn. "It's our responsibility to bring up the traitors, and we'll be in charge of the attack for a while, you just need to help stop the rebellious Panshan clan."
The Storm Hammer of the 'Ragnarok Armament' is a great secret of the Shanjia people, related to the ancient civilization of the Shanjia people from the previous era. The Stonefist Patriarch Askar has a straightforward personality, but the Hammer Patriarch Ovge will not allow it to reveal the existence of the Storm Hammer to others under any circumstances, because the Storm Hammer is a sacred relic belonging to all the Mountain Armor clans!
"Well, the internal contradictions of the Shanjia people should be resolved by the Shanjia people themselves. In this way, I will send a thousand legionary infantry into two groups to cover your two flanks, and you can only attack the despicable Cold Iron Mountain Armorers! Zoro verbally agreed, but at this time, a sly look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
If this outspoken mountain armor patriarch really told the existence of the Stormhammer, Zoro would be a little embarrassed to do it.
After all, the other party has now become his subordinate, how can there be any reason for the lord to rob his subordinates. But if the other party didn't tell him the truth, it would be the disloyalty of the Shanjia people first, and Sauron would not be able to talk about those principles again. (To be continued.) )
