Chapter 5: Reflections in Stonetalon Mountain

In the Stonetalon Mountains, an army of nearly 2,000 minotaurs is marching rapidly in the Scorch Scorch Valley in the future. Defensive warriors lined up to protect the flanks of the formation, weapons and shields in their hands, ready for a possible attack. The hunters who were not assigned to the scout mission carefully observed the dense trees and the sky covered by the shade of the trees around them, and from time to time the hunters stopped to bless their eyes with eagle eye skills, so that their eyes were sharper, farther, and clearer, so as to search for traces of the Harpy troops that might suddenly kill.

Today is already the second day of entering Stone Claw Mountain, as early as yesterday, just after entering the valley, the warriors of the broken army received a "warm greeting" from Stone Claw Mountain. A group of angry harpies swept in a foul stench, overwhelming the world. After a fierce battle, the Harpy retreated in panic, leaving behind hundreds of corpses. But for the next whole day, they changed their strategy, and they didn't fight to the death, harassing if they could, and retreating when they couldn't. Relying on his air superiority, he comes and goes freely, which is annoying.

Aside from attacking hunters with a sharp range, most warriors are helpless against these nimble opponents who fly around and cast spells in the sky. Although the day's attack did not bring casualties to the advancing Minotaur warriors, it made the warriors have to tense their nerves and carefully guard against the attack that may come at any time. This is a big burden for the broken troops who have already fought many battles in a row.

After all, except for the old Tang who crossed through, no one knows where the future home is, and I don't know how many dangers are waiting for the future journey. If this continues, the tense nerves will eventually be crushed by exhaustion, and if there is a battle at that time, no one can predict the final outcome of this broken army.

And Lao Tang, as a traverser, is not easy in his heart. If nothing else, the Minotaur will still make their home in the beautiful Mogaolei, and at the tribal meeting before the migration, Old Tang also voted for Mogaolei, the favorite of his previous life, on behalf of the Terror Totem Tribe. Mogaure is surrounded by mountains, and only the southeast corner has a passage to the outside world, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The terrain of Thunder Cliff can insulate most of the incursions from the ground.

The most rare thing is that because it is isolated by mountains, unlike the barren land separated by mountains, the vegetation on the Mogaolei Plain is luxuriant, the land is fertile, and it is an excellent pasture, and the fertile soil near the Hongyun Plateau is conducive to land reclamation and crop planting. Such a piece of feng shui treasure land, coupled with the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, is definitely the best place for the Minotaur to recuperate. But now, both the migratory army and their broken army are still trudging through the Stonetalon Mountains, and they have to traverse most of the barren land before they can reach the quiet and serene Mogaolei and start building a new home.

And the road is not smooth, not only to pass through the blockade of the mortal enemy centaurs, but also to guard against the centaur raiding troops coming and going like the wind, even those harpy and boar tribes along the way, it is also possible to take advantage of the weakest time of the minotaur tribe to bite hard. Compared with these intelligent and semi-intelligent races, the fierce and cunning beasts in the Barren Lands, such as lions, velociraptors, mutant scorpions, and even thunder lizards, are less of a threat to migratory minotaurs. After all, it is the great migration of the entire Minotaur race, and in the face of the deterrent size and number of the Minotaurs, no matter how fierce the beasts are, they will also seek good fortune and avoid evil, and will not take the initiative to provoke and write the Minotaurs into the recipe. After all, they weren't mighty dragons or strong, brain-dead ogres.

What Gude urgently needs now is to find out the details of these difficult harpys, and their location and number must be carefully figured out. For this reason, he had to recall Grudig's Dark Cloud, who was originally leading the team to explore the way ahead and serve as a scout, and asked him to investigate in person. After all, this experienced and agile ruthless hunter is the most reliable person to carry out this task at the moment. Now the enemy is attacking directly from the sky, and in this tall and lush forest, the snakes and eagles on the ground, with the cover of these trees and branches that cover the sky, absolutely occupy the time and place.

As long as they pay attention to hiding in the downwind direction and don't let the stench on their bodies drift with the wind, no matter how elite the scouts are, they will not be able to accurately detect their traces and warn the main force in the rear in time. In this case, Old Tang simply reduced the number of scouts and made the search range smaller, so as to concentrate his forces and liberate more hunter combat power that threatened the eagles.

"Goode, I've found out where the Harpy's nest is." The dark clouds of Grudig* rushed back from the dust, and the hard hooves of the oxen were wrapped in a thick layer of linenβ€”β€”β€” which was to reduce the noise of movement during the reconnaissance. I saw him move behind Old Tang like a ghost and continued.

"From the current position of the team, to the northwest, under a mountain cliff, with the strength of the soldiers' feet, it will take about three days, and the number is about three thousand to four thousand, and it should not be difficult to eat them. It's just that our current route doesn't pass through there, what to do? Do you want to clean them up? "This friend of his, who has always been cold, has become very belligerent and fanatical when it comes to other races on this continent. This is also the style of the Terror Totem tribe, which does not have the hospitality and calm tolerance of most Minotaur tribes, and is always hostile to other creatures except for their own people of the Minotaur race.

Old Tang also had a headache about this, as a traverser, but he knew the end of the horror totem in the later generations, because of his hostility to other races, he always disagreed with Kane's * Bloodhoof to join the tribe. This radical worldview that treats the other races that set foot on Kalimdor as invaders eventually caused the entire Terror Totem Tribe to rebel from Thunder Cliff and even join forces with the Alliance to fight against the Horde. And including his younger brother with violent tendencies and the ruthless hunter friend around him, they are the main leaders of the terror totem in later generations, and they are all high-level leaders who have been brainwashed by that distorted world view since childhood.

This facial paralysis hunter became the chief of the entire Stoneclaw Mountain Terror Totem Tribe in later life. It was also under his tutelage that a fragile and unequal covenant was finally reached with the Alliance. In the eyes of Old Tang, this alliance is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and the final outcome is likely to be used as cannon fodder by the alliance, and then crushed by the tribe under the leadership of the "brainless roar" after being abandoned. This is an outcome that Old Don definitely does not want to see.

So in this life, from the moment I saw them, I began to imperceptibly influence the people around me. Actively fighting and planning to increase one's prestige is to avoid the tragedy of cannibalism in later generations. Looking at the friend who is a little cold and cruel in front of him, but still very decent and cares about his opinion, and then thinks about the non-mainstream minotaur brother who worships him crazy and is very obedient, Lao Tang feels that his efforts have been rewarded, 'I am very relieved'~~!

When I heard my friend's report, I put aside the distractions in my mind for a while and seriously thought about the information. It's not uncommon for these harpies to take the initiative to attack, these evil and filthy creatures are extremely territorial, and will kill any intruder, and even if they are defeated, they will not hesitate to offer all kinds of disasters and diseases as gifts. Now, although this Harpy tribe can't cause any casualties to its own troops, it is always slowing down the pace of the troops and squeezing the nerves of the soldiers, which is a trouble after all.

In Old Tang's vision of the future situation, Stonetalon Mountain is to be firmly in the hands of the Minotaurs, which are rich in mineral and forest resources, and they are all in short supply for the construction of new tribes after Sal led the orcs to land in Kalimdor in the future, both in terms of strategic value and increasing the power of the Minotaurs to speak.

For the Minotaur in his previous life, because of the heavy losses of the Centaur War, he was slowly recuperating and recuperating and lacking troops, and he always played the role of fighting soy sauce and making peace in the tribe, Lao Tang was very unhappy. Since he had crossed into a minotaur, Old Tang naturally wanted to design in every possible way to let the minotaur race rise strongly in the future continental situation. If it is said that striking the combat effectiveness of centaurs, minimizing the losses of the minotaurs, and achieving a peaceful great migration of the races is the first big step, then controlling resources and improving the status of the minotaurs in the tribe is the second big step.

And every big step is made up of many small goals, and controlling Stone Claw Mountain is a crucial small step in Old Tang's second big step plan. Since Old Tang has made up his mind to swallow this cake, he will never tolerate others getting involved, whether it is the current Hippogriff, or the Goblin Venture Capital Company and the Night Elves who may face the two cross-river dragons in the future, even if it is other races in the future tribe, if you want resources, you have to discuss it with me.

Thinking of this, then this Harpy tribe in front of him will definitely not be able to stay. But whether it is to drive away or fight, Old Tang still has to think about it. After all, it is difficult to fight an enemy with air superiority, and in that case, even if you mine resources later, you will face countless harassments and troubles brought by those fleeing Harpies.

Old Tang was still calculating and thinking about how to wipe out the harpy people in the valley without leaving any trouble, and the facial paralysis hunter Grudig Dark Cloud standing beside Old Tang watched his friend fall into thought, and gradually woke up from some fanatical feelings in his mind. Grudiger Darkcloud, a cold facial paralysis hunter, knows his friend well.

Since they met, Gude * Horror Totem in his impression in addition to the battle, the brave, fearless fighting style and amazing fighting skills, as well as the unstoppable innate divine power, what impressed him even more is that his friend has a flexible brain, active thinking, and advanced foresight in many things (the obscene old Tang secretly pursed his lips, Xiaoyunzi~~ Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is a traverser ~~~), and Anak * horror totem, the reckless and frizzy stunned young man is diametrically opposed.

Sometimes treacherous doesn't look like a simple and peaceful minotaur at all, but more like a human with a black heart in the mouth of a goblin merchant. I know that my friend's consistent tough and iron-blooded demeanor will definitely not be because of indecision and can't do anything to those birdmen. After thinking about it carefully, the experienced facial paralysis hunter understood his friend's concern, and asked, "Not sure you can catch them all?" Old Tang nodded, raised his broad palm, squeezed his temples hard, and replied:

"If you can't catch it all, you'll have to cause a lot of trouble in the future. There is no good idea for the time being, and it will take a day to get to the turning position, so don't rush first, and then think about it, what can be done. ”

"This day's attack, the brothers are all tense, first arrange the brothers to camp, don't rush tonight, take a good rest, arrange some hunter veterans, let them work hard tonight, divided into two shifts, let's take them on duty at night, you come in the first half of the night, and return to me in the second half of the night." After the arrangement, come and look for me in my tent, and I will call the master and Anak, and we will think of a trick together. Goode turned to his friend's facial paralysis and explained.

Grudig* Darkcloud nodded after listening to his friend's arrangement, stopped talking, and turned to the team behind him to arrange for people to deliver orders.

The remaining Goode frowned on his own and walked slowly towards the crowd as he pondered his strategy.
