Chapter 277: Frozen Stone Farm
In Plane, there are races and nations.
There are humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs...... There are thousands of large and small, zero and zero. The race with the most countries is naturally human, and its strength is also the strongest. Most of the players are divided between orcs and humans, each with its own strengths, and no one can tell the strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages.
The so-called Ironforge was naturally the capital of the dwarves.
For the surface dwarves, such a fortress is naturally the most strongly defended place for them, and it also has an extremely high population.
According to Oxtin.
In the first case, it should not be the Iron Forge. Among the one hundred and thirty-six fortresses of the entire "Plane", the strength of Ironforge Fort ranks at least in the top fifty. If you want to gnaw on such a hard bone from the beginning, it must not be a cost-effective behavior.
If you can, it's best to attack the Lost City, a human fortress three days away from Ironforge.
The Lost City is a populous city.
But the defense is not very high, just a large population, more than 20 million. Just because it's a commercial city, the defense force will be even more than a hundred. Due to its large population, if you capture this lost city, then the city of Scourge will be able to have enough corpses.
As the saying goes, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first.
But on the contrary, Gao Fei wants to start with the iron furnace castle, and this problem is a little strange.
"Master, this is a tough bone."
"We may not be able to take it for a short time...... There may even be a lot of vitality! ”
Oxin persuaded.
"We must deal with the Lost City!"
Gao Fei shook his head decisively.
In fact, as early as the beginning, he also wanted to deal with the Lost City. After all, the number of skeletons summoned by the skeleton mage is far greater than the number of corpses that a meat grinder can excavate. That's pretty big of a problem...... That is, consumption is far from keeping up with replenishment.
That is, it is quite possible that after the end of the war, there will even be a situation where there will be no corpses available.
But after thinking about it for a while, Gao Fei still chose to deal with the Iron Furnace Castle.
Logically speaking, the strength of Ironforge is much higher than that of the Lost City......
"You just don't get it!" Gao Fei smiled, and then began to explain.
"More than thirty percent of the weapons in the entire continent are coming out of Ironforge Fort!"
"We must take the entire Iron Fort ahead of schedule if the mainland doesn't react. Only in this way can you greatly control everyone's strength. ”
That's what Guffy really thinks.
More than 30% of the weapons of the NPC army are forged from the dwarves. And most of them are black iron quality, which is the best weapon under magic weapons. If Ironforge is left alone, the NPC unit's uniforms will remain in a rather terrifying presence.
If you can attack Ironforge Keep, it won't make the entire NPC in Plane have no weapons available. But at least it can make NPCs sense the shortage of weapons...... Even if it consumes a lot of skeletons, this must be a worthwhile thing in Gao Fei's opinion.
But what if it's the Lost City?
That's different again.
The Lost City is just a transit point for NPCs.
If you attack him with all your might, you might be able to take him down in a week or something, but in those seven days, you will have to be harassed by troops sent from all the low-level cities near the Lost City - this is not a big deal, but this precious time will be used by Ironforge.
When the time comes, it won't be so easy to conquer Ironforge Fort again!
This is Gao Fei's final plan.
War, preemptive is a time. Whoever can make good use of the time will basically lead the course of the war.
The skeleton mages, divided into an army of ten, swept wildly, leaving not an inch of land along the way. The ground that was driven by the meat grinder gradually turned black, and it was also spread with plague, completely becoming a dead land with no grass. It won't be long before the ground becomes as corrosive as the undead plane.
And Gao Fei led this group of skeleton mages, and he drove straight into the Iron Fort and killed him directly.
But after all, he is a dwarf, but as soon as he stepped into this country, the speed of his advancement was directly reduced by more than half.
First of all, this is the land of snow and ice.
The special geographical location of the area has caused it to be covered in snow and ice all year round, and it is early summer, but there is still some unmelted snow on the ground. Walking on this land, you can hear the sound of banging everywhere - this is the dwarf forging.
Dwarves belong to the Black Iron race.
Born with level eighty, he likes ale and blacksmithing, and is considered a strength-type warrior. There are occasional dwarven mages and archers, but they are rare. In the realm of the dwarves, the most visible are dwarves holding a warhammer that is almost larger than them.
How short is this guy?
It's almost eighty centimeters, less than half the height of an adult, but in terms of strength, it can even rival a professional warrior player above level 100. Moreover, the weapons in their hands give the dwarves a much higher attack power than other NPCs.
Almost as soon as they entered the Frozen Stone Farm, resistance began on a large scale.
The Frozen Stone Farm is a mine.
There are large quantities of copper ore and a small number of other associated mines...... At the same time, there are a large number of dwarves here. These little dwarfs are not tall, but their strength is surprisingly large, and the skeletons above them are hardly able to take advantage.
Because the weapons were so inferior, the summoned skeletons almost always slashed at the dwarves' heads with enough strength.
These dwarves, who are accustomed to wearing huge horned hats every day and wearing a pair of armor on top of their bodies, don't care about the attacks of these bone weapons at all, although the level is much higher than these dwarves, but the damage is really not too much.
Each time the attack continued, except for a clanging sound, all that was left was the scum of bones flying one after another.
"Why can't you move forward?"
"Why did the vanguard stop?"
The advancing troops stopped for a full two hours, which made Gao Fei frown.
Oxtin hurriedly trotted all the way to the front, and returned a moment later.
"What's going on?" Gao Fei couldn't help but ask.
"Blocked...... Almost two or three thousand dwarves completely blocked the intersection, and we couldn't rush through! Oxtin said anxiously. They have stopped us for over two hours now! ”
Gao Fei smacked his lips.
Two or three thousand dwarves blocked a full ten thousand skeleton mages, and the number of skeletons that had accumulated in the past ten days even exceeded 10 million - such an army? No matter who you tell it, I'm afraid you will think it's a fantasy.
But that's exactly what happened.
Such a powerful army was stopped by dwarves with such a small population.
Gao Fei hurriedly ran towards the front.
But after taking a look, Gao Fei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This is the terrain he fears the most...... Gourd mouth. The terrain around the entire frozen stone farm resembles a giant gourd, wide on all sides and narrow on the front. Under such a terrain, the numerical advantage of the Scourge Legion could not be brought into play at all under this terrain, but was easily resisted by these dwarves.
Three or four hundred dwarves.
Standing in a row, they held more peculiar tomahawks in their hands. At one end was a rather huge axe, which was used to chop people. At the other end is a war hammer, which is used to strike iron.
It's such a weapon that these dwarves are now fighting vigorously.
Every time the tomahawk picked up, a large piece of bone slag flew up directly, and almost every time it attacked, a skeleton was completely blown to pieces.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the whole ground shook again. Standing behind, Shou Shou hurriedly raised his head in shock, looked into the distance, and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Thunder Strike!"
With the dwarf's fierce blow, a large field of turquoise lightning suddenly appeared on top of the huge war hammer. In the midst of the shouting, the warhammer was slammed to the ground, and almost instantly, the lightning on the warhammer rushed towards the ground like a wave.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
Lightning spread along the ground, quickly enveloping the large number of skeletons in front of them.
Almost instantly, a large vacuum appeared at the entrance to the Frozen Stone Farm. The surrounding skeletons all turned into powder under this blow. And those dwarves are still not dead or injured, at most their armor has been scratched a little, and some physical strength has been consumed, and it seems that there is no major problem.
Then there's the handover.
The dwarves handed over, and the dwarves who had fought earlier entered the farm to recuperate, and the next group of dwarves who were full of state returned to the battlefield. The group of dwarves scanned the skeleton troops of the entire Scourge Legion with contempt, their eyes full of contempt and disdain.
"Damn, this is too arrogant!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but scream.
"These guys don't want to rely on these two or three thousand people to block our army from the periphery of the frozen stone farm!"
"If that's the case, I'll be a piece of ass."
"Even such a dwarf can't deal with it, how can you deal with Ironforge Castle, isn't that looking for death?"
Gao Fei was almost furious.
"Where's the skeleton archer, the skeleton mage."
"People are warriors, are you all missing roots in your heads, face to face with people, can you beat them, give me a far away attack."
"I don't believe that I can't shoot these girls!"
Gao Fei said viciously.
