Chapter 109: The Voice of the Watchtower (Part II)
"And what do you think we should do? Lord Rhodes. β
Volkuv shouted. He had the face of a northerner, with a sharp chin, deep-set eye sockets, and a thick beard that wrapped around his fair face. At the same time, he is tall and looks like a tough guy in the north. But Rod knows that this guy is definitely not a real tough guy. He's just a puppet of the Queen. Crackstone Castle has ceased to exist with the death of the old lord, and the current Crackstone Castle is just a pawn in the hands of the Ice Queen. It's a rat poop caught in the middle of the North.
"Hold them back, like a bullfight, never show the real face to the bull, let the bull constantly consume his physical strength, and finally seize the opportunity to bleed it to death. Thousands of greenskins, under the leadership of the tyrannical leader, slaughtering and fighting like crazy, it is like a bull that is going berserk, the only thing we can do is to avoid its edge, fight with him, constantly harass him, annoy the iron skin, make him powerless, make him mad. Eventually gave up the attack on Kislev. β
Rod said, spreading his arms.
"Tell me more about it, Rod. β
Edmund, Lord of Ice Castle, asked.
"First of all, gather the troops of the whole north and prepare for a battle to the death. After that, a reconnaissance team was dispatched in advance to closely monitor the movements of the green skins. If they go north, harass them on the road and delay their march. It's summer, and the land is full of greenery and animals, and it's easy for the Greenskins to get supplies for a season like this. But when winter comes, they struggle. Winter in the north is full of snow, not even the sun has been seen, the green skins are not supplied, and the huge army is bound to have infighting, and then they can no longer continue north. Therefore, as long as we keep harassing, keep fighting guerrillas, delay time, and drag on until winter, then the northern border will be safe. β
Rod swallowed and continuedβ
"We have the best scouts, we also have the strongest hussars in Kislev, and the Ugor cavalry will support us. At the same time, fighting in our territory, our soldiers are more familiar with the terrain and can use the complex terrain to fight guerrilla warfare with the greenskins. Avoid them and let them consciously leave our land, so that we can hope to live. β
Hahahaha......
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Volkuf's contemptuous laughter rang out in the hall. "When did the North start to fear the beasts? We have spent our lives fighting against the beasts, and the beasts that can defeat the North have not yet been born. β
"No, it's already born, and it's right in front of you. β
Rod replied coldly.
"You've never even seen him, so you're sure that orc will conquer the country?"
Volkuf stood up, shook his body and said.
"No orc would have his prowess written on his face, and when you see him slaughtering humans, you know the end is not far off. β
"Okay!" Second Chinese Network
While arguing, Lord Cyril of the Overwatch stood up from his throne and loudly interrupted the discussion, as well as the arguments between Rhodes and Volkuf.
"Greenskins are making a comeback, that's a fact. However, the North is not so vulnerable. I should have rallied, yes, but it wasn't as scary as Rhodes said. Now the greenskins are far to the south, and they have not yet gone out of the mountains. Even if they get out of the mountains, there is still the Ice Queen who can stop them. Even if the greenskins do come, we are not afraid. I, Cyril, declare here that if that Black Orc named Ironhide does come to attack the North with an army of greenskins, I will be the first to stand up and fight him to the end. I will cut off his head as a gift to the gods. β
Cyril stood up as a High Lord of the North. He announced his decision, yes, it was announced. The Overwatch is the heart of the North, and everyone should listen to him.
"This will lead the North into an abyss from which it will never recover!"
Rod retorted loudly. However, it was Cyril's dismissive eyes and expression that greeted her.
"Great White Bear Lord, are you scared by the orcs, so afraid of a bunch of unintelligent guys?"
After Cyril finished speaking, some of the minor lords who didn't think much of it were too much laughed heartily.
Alas......
Rod could only sigh secretly. They can't be blamed for this, human beings have a short lifespan, but only a few decades. What happened a hundred years ago, the disasters that happened a hundred years ago, in the eyes of the world today, are just a dry line of words in the history books. Even the Great Chaos Invasion has people who don't take it seriously, not to mention that it's just a matter of the Greenskin Invasion right now......
After the meeting of the Watchfort, the lords returned to their respective territories and began to gather their armies to form a coalition of the North, which was the first time that the North had formed a unified coalition since the Erlengrad Rebellion, however, the purpose was not to guerrilla and delay the Greenskins, but to take the initiative to meet the Greenskins...... If they do go north.
Rhodes felt that he might as well not be there for this meeting, because it was to warn the northern lords that the threat of the Greenskins was too great to destroy the country. However, the result was for them to gather their troops together and go to their deaths together...... Without this army, the Greenskins probably wouldn't have gone north, but now that they are assembled, they have a target and an opponent. When Tin Sheet heard about it, he didn't know how happy it would be.
Rhodes took the Soulbound Dagger out of the box, and hadn't really fought in a long time. Recall that it has been three years since the end of the Erlengrad rebellion, no, almost four years. There have been no real challenges to the enemy for four years, and the weapons are almost rusty. And now, it's time to move these old guys out. The Thunder Battle Axe shimmered with a dazzling silver light on the wall, and the Soul Binding Dagger ...... It was his first artifact, and he used it to kill the vampire lord who was impossible to kill. Rhodes remembered the scene, blood pouring down his hands, and the Dagger of Souls feeling endless enjoyment. For many years, the vampire lord's wailing and screaming still reverberates. Now, there is a real opponent. It's just a little too powerful.
In the dark room, Rhodes silently put the dagger into his cuff, and he would not use the dark dagger unless he had to.
"Guards!"
He shouted for the guards to come in.
"Go and call Bogur and Grondi. Just say I have something to do with them. β
Rod commanded the guards. In the upcoming fierce battle, Rhodes thought of all the allies he could call, and Dulong City in the north was undoubtedly one of them. And now, too, is when they are needed the most. When it comes to greenskins, the dwarves don't sit idly by......
