Chapter Thirty-Six: Under the New Changes of the Base Mountain Tribe
The outline of the base mountain city that is about to be built, and the orcs from afar must pass through several peripheral "defense lines" to enter here:
The newly formed centaur soldiers in the base mountain tribes seem to be never tired of running and training on the snowfields on the periphery of the base mountain, Harvey first heard that the useless centaurs were also formed into soldiers by the human patriarch, and he also laughed at the delusion of the human patriarch, you must know that the centaur race has never been the main force of war in the history of the orc war, although their size is not small, but the strength of the forearms mainly used for combat is really disproportionate to the weight, compared with the real strong war orcs, It's really not a brave fight.
But when he actually saw the well-trained and well-organized centaurs charging with iron armor, bows and spears, he really had to be shocked by the speed and momentum of the centaurs coming in a row.
He had to admit that perhaps, this group of low-level orcs in the past could really play their own role on the battlefield?
In addition to the reorganization of the centaurs, there are many strange things about the base mountain tribes. One example of this is the silly sullen Doug, who trains all day in the wasteland on the outskirts of the base mountain city, and anyone can see it, providing countless jokes to the many foreign orcs. Dressed in iron armor and carrying iron rods on their backs, day after day, they endlessly train the rigid queue that does not see the slightest effect, stupid and cute.
This array seems to be similar to the array of the Minotaur heavy infantry, but the changes are far more complicated than the Minotaurs, the important thing for the heavy infantry is to be able to fight and resist, but when they get to these Douges, it seems to have become able to go, it is such a queue, but the simplest combination of turning, changing formations, and advancing and retreating, these Dougs have been practicing for many months this winter until now.
So much so that Herbert, the young patriarch who had the heart to watch it at the beginning, was bored and despised it in private, and this is the battle formation that the human patriarch made for Doug? It's quite neat, and it looks majestic, but it's just not practical! If you go to the battlefield, the hundreds of kilogram Bules and the dozens of kilogram Doug will also form a phalanx to fight, I am afraid that as long as the front row of Bules at the front of the phalanx rushes up with their battle axes, it will be enough to smash and penetrate the poor Dougs. I'm afraid these guys don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder on the orc's battlefield.
In addition to the Dougs and centaurs outside, there have also been great changes within the tribes of Base Mountain City, and for the orcs, the biggest change is the roads that the Base Mountain tribes have built all over the city.
The orcs of the wasteland are basically very good at running, and most of the terrain in the wasteland is flat, and the texture of the land is unique to the north, so there has never been such a thing as a road in the history of the orcs, and only humans will build various roads in their own kingdoms.
But the base mountain has also been built within the tribe.
The wide pavement made of gravel and cement paved several horizontal and vertical roads in the tribe, and at the same time divided the tribesmen who lived around the base mountain into a dozen small pieces that were neatly divided. It is said that within the base mountain tribe, these small pieces are called residential areas, and they have been turned into serial numbers, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and so on. Each residential area has a special tribal management manager, and there are rules for work, residence, and travel at ordinary times.
Originally, the congestion in the tribe due to the rising population was naturally alleviated a lot in this situation. And such a road surface is not afraid of rain or pressure, even if the claws and their riders are covered with steel, they will not easily trample the road surface, and can also allow heavier vehicles to pass.
Harvey paid special attention to the special building material used by the Orcs of the Base Mountain to build the road - cement. This kind of thing is originally in the form of powder, but it is mixed with water and stirred to form a viscous mud that has a strong adhesive and is used as a binder mixed with stones and clay evenly spread on the road surface, and after drying, it becomes a hard and flat road surface, and such a road surface will not be deformed in the slightest even if it encounters more water in the future. It's really easy and sturdy to use. This kind of thing makes the road construction project of the base mountain tribe far from consuming a lot of manpower and material resources as the outside world imagined.
As an advisor to the Minotaur tribe, the most skilled artisan among the orcs in the wasteland, Harvey was quick to realize that this kind of cement could not only be used for paving, but as an excellent adhesive, it could certainly be used in a wide variety of vital construction processes, such as houses, city walls, and even fortresses.
The construction of the base mountain, under the effect of this thing, is probably far faster, better, and stronger than the original city built by the Boers.
Such an extremely important strategic material, Harvey, as the Fox family who attaches the most importance to the inheritance of knowledge and has the most extensive knowledge in the wasteland, has never heard of it, which has to be said to be an extremely rare thing.
Could it be that this is the novel magical material that this human patriarch got from the southern humans? With such precious magical materials, this human patriarch was willing to let his subordinates use them to pave the way? Harvey felt that he really couldn't understand the mysterious human patriarch anymore.
And unlike the road that ordinary people walk, there is also a special transportation track for the mine built from the mining area to the cave of the base mountain, and the track, Harvey and others came forward to take a serious look, and determined that all the ones laid on it are made of steel, each one is not fooled, it is absolutely the best steel, and every day from the track is a huge heavy iron car full of ore that can bear dozens of tons, and the rhinoceros beast with the greatest strength among the riding beasts is used to pull it, and a rhinoceros beast can only pull one.
On this track, there are hundreds of trains of ore from the cave of the mining area transportation base every day, and the transportation volume is frightening. Under the excessive demand of this track and iron car, the area of the base mountain mining area has become larger and deeper at a speed visible to the naked eye, and now it has become a huge deep pit with a radius of several acres.
Now on the edge of this huge pit, in order to increase work efficiency and save human resources, Zhang Quan also instructed his Minotaur craftsmen to use the steel mechanism he brought from the earth to build several huge primitive counterweight cranes more than ten meters high, with the diesel engine driven conveyor belt from the bottom of the pit, jointly established a simple and primitive mineral transmission system covering the entire pit, in order to maintain the smooth flow of the entire mining and transportation links, it is conceivable how large the scale of mining and mining of this iron ore is every day.
This is just the most important change that Harvey saw in the base mountain tribe, and each one shocked Harvey! Whether it is cement or steel, it is an extremely valuable strategic resource in this world. With so much steel possessed by the base mountain tribe, if it were in the hands of any orc race, it would be a weapon that could be relied on to dominate the wasteland!
In his eyes, these changes all mean that the potential of the base mountain tribe is rapidly becoming stronger, and the influence and threat to the surrounding orc tribes, especially the Iron Hammer tribe, are increasing day by day.
And those others, in his opinion, are not important, I don't know how many, just like the people of the base mountain tribe now have all kinds of furniture made of the best steel, iron pots, iron spoons, table knives, iron forks, and many people have the kind of very practical trolleys, this kind of kind, all make the orcs of the Iron Hammer tribe envious, in the wasteland, steel is also the most straining material, just like the Iron Hammer tribe is called the rich Minotaur tribe, The total amount of steel in his hands is only a few dozen tons.
The tribesmen of the base mountain tribe are fat and strong, and they live a comfortable life, and they are all high-spirited.
There are thousands of professional miners in the tribe, nearly 1,000 professional orc craftsmen, and some of the remaining tribesmen participate in military training, some build cities and houses, some raise livestock and do some other chores, and none of the more than 10,000 orcs in the entire tribe are idle. All day long, we base the mountain tribe what, that demeanor, that heart, I don't know where it goes.
