Section 15 Unification

Autumn goes to winter, winter goes to spring solstice. Time seems to be passing peacefully, but in the greenskin society of the Ironclaw Mountains, anyone who is a greenskin can feel that something is quietly growing, and a great change has arrived in the Ironclaw Mountains.

"Blood Banner Boss" has become an extremely frequently used term among the Greenskins. When the Blood Banner Boss appeared on the outskirts of the Iron Claw Mountains with a small tribe of less than a hundred of his subordinates, no one knew which onion he was. But now, even the most remote Greenskin tribe has heard about the Blood Banner Boss.

"The bloody flag boss who is dying of dicks will take down the two giants in three or two clicks. ”

"The Blood Banner Boss has overturned the entire Broken Bone Tribe with just one hand!"

"The Blood Banner Boss exterminated the Stompping Tribe, cutting down all the Stomping Boys, and feeding them all to Scroog because one of the Stomper Boys spat on him. ”

All kinds of legendary stories about the Blood Banner Boss are widely circulated in the Iron Claw Mountains, all about a huge, extremely strong, and extremely evil boss. Clear-headed greenskins understand that a new war commander is about to be born. In other words, the day is just around the corner when the entire Greenskin tribe of the Ironclaw Mountains will unite under the banner of a single leader, and an unprecedented Waaaaagh could happen at any moment.

As a green skin with ideals and ambitions, a fool would be willing to miss such a great Waaaaagh. Missing even a little bit of it is unforgivable and worth regretting for the rest of your life. So no matter which corner of the horn is coming, the greenskins are rushing to join the legendary boss, hoping to be part of the great Waaaaagh that is coming.

The Blood Banner Tribe is now the largest greenskin tribe in the entire Iron Claw Mountains. Every day, small tribes of greenskins join this already unusually large tribe. There was no base in the vicinity that could accommodate so many green skins, so the Blood Banner Boss had placed his base in a valley that was easy to attack and difficult to defend. His camp is in full swing, with countless goblins working all day long to build all sorts of war gear for the Blood Banner Tribe.

Between the Blood Banner Tribe and the great Waaaaagh, there's only one thing left, and that's the headhunter boss who occupies the Iron Claw Fortress. This gutless bandit completely ignores the trend of the times, and is determined to fight against the Blood Banner boss to the end. In other words, he resolutely refused to give up the Iron Claw Fortress. Without the Iron Claw Fortress, there is no way for the Blood Banner Boss to declare himself the commander of the war.

The Blood Banner Boss has already spoken. If the headhunter continues to die like this without repentance within ten days, then after ten days he will use force to solve this little trouble. Of course, the reason why ten days was given was not because the Blood Banner Boss was very patient, but because his unprecedentedly large tribe wanted to launch an attack, and it really took ten days to make all kinds of preparations.

"Boss......" An orc hurried over from outside. "Headhunter Boss He ......"

"What's wrong with him?"

He threw the goblin from the fortress on the spot, and shouted at the top of the city that you were not qualified to be the boss. ”

"Kouhu! Brother Mao likes me, so I'm the boss. "The Blood Banner Boss thundered. "Send another goblin with a letter. Tell him that in a few days I'll take a good look at the in his skull!"

The orcs are gone, and now the Blood Banner Boss has begun to patrol his sprawling camp with a few of his younger brothers. The headhunter boss's subordinates only have about 10,000 greenskins, while the blood banner boss has 60,000 troops. But the headhunter boss occupied a strong fortress after all. The Blood Banner Boss had already secretly observed the fortress, so he was sure that this battle would be very difficult to fight.

If the warring parties were not greenskins, but humans, things would be fine. It's really difficult to capture directly, so it's good to have a long-term siege. But the Greenskins don't have the patience to drag out a battle for years. Not to mention several years, even if it drags on for a few months, seeing that victory is far away, the subordinates of the Blood Banner Boss are probably about to start to disperse. You must know that it is this tribe that attracts the greenskins to continue to join the Blood Banner Tribe, and every now and then there will be a big war and a small battle, and they can all win. At least the number of wins is much more than the number of losses.

"Grubb. "The Blood Banner Boss suddenly notices a group of snot spirits assembling something. Normally, Snot Essence is not counted as combat power by the Horde. Because they are weak on the one hand, and low intelligence on the other, they are not of much use at all. Every green skin knows that the real use of snot essence is to grow mushrooms. "What are they doing?"

"Pump car. Boss, they're making a pump car. Grubb could tell at a glance what the snot spirit was doing.

"Pump car. ”

"Big car," Grubb explained to the boss with a dance. It took him a lot of effort to make the boss understand that the pump was a war machine that didn't rely on wild boars, didn't rely on wolves, didn't rely on Scroogra - in short, didn't rely on external forces at all. The power to keep the pump moving forward comes entirely from the snot essence that stays in the car. These snot spirits power the war machines through an inexplicable method of human pumping.

However, it is not always the case that the Snot Spirits will build a pump cart, and the project will only begin when they have gathered enough of them (of course, they will need to "get" enough materials). Don't look at the snot spirit to fight a, but this pump cart is quite a powerful vehicle, and can easily break through well-defended enemy lines.

For the future siege war, the Blood Banner Tribe has prepared quite a lot. But on the other hand, the headhunter tribe is not idle. Although the headhunter boss said that he couldn't challenge the Blood Banner tribe with all his might, he was not stupid enough to leave the fortress and have a field battle with an opponent who had several times more troops than himself. From the very beginning, the headhunter's idea was very clear, that is, to use the walls of the fortress to defend the city.

In fact, the headhunter boss does have the capital to argue with the blood flag boss. Because the Iron Claw Fortress is indeed a castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has all the advantages of defense, from strong walls to advantageous locations, and even an independent water source and an interior with enough space for a large army to live in.

Ironclaw Fortress is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and on the front is a narrow flat area halfway up the mountain. Once the attackers were planning to attack the city, the first problem they faced was that they would not be able to place a large army on the flat ground, and they would not be able to place enough long-range weapons such as ballistas and catapults to suppress the city. However, the siege weapons prepared at the head of the city were just enough to hit this flat ground.

Even if the besieging forces set up and start firing at the head of the city, the next step is just as difficult. Because the towering walls stand in the way, and bows and arrows, hot water, and rolling wood and stone will pose a great threat to the besiegers. Even if the attacking forces eventually captured the walls, it would be useless. The castle has a multi-layered wall, and the defenders can still push it to the second, third, and fourth walls, and continue to resist from above.

That's pretty much the problem the Blood Banner Tribe encountered. Of course, they didn't even solve the first problem. One siege weapon after another, in the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides, they suffered a lot of losses. The ballistas and catapults at the head of the city have better visibility and range, and if it weren't for the huge difference in numbers, the Blood Banner tribe wouldn't have thought of attacking the city at all.

"Hurry up, you slackers! "Under the command of an orc, hordes of goblins hypothesized the ballistas. However, before the operator could pull the bowstring, a boulder fell from the sky, smashing the ballista to pieces at the screams of the goblin operator. In response, more than a dozen catapults fought back in that direction, and one of them even disintegrated due to excessive force (or not built strong enough). More than half of the stones smashed into the castle walls, leaving a small pit that fell harmlessly to the ground.

But that doesn't change anything at all, the Blood Banner Tribe is armed with too many war machines. The overseer's orc let out a roar, wiping a pile of wood slag from his head. Then immediately wave the whip and let the goblins pull the next ballista into position.

Far from the front line, the Blood Banner Boss was staring at the battle situation in the distance. Fools can tell that the combat of this weapon is very beneficial to the headhunter tribe, and most of the ballistas or boulders fired by the Blood Banner tribe fall on the city walls. Of course, as the saying goes, if you punch the master to death, the number of people and equipment of the Blood Banner Tribe is much stronger than the other party, and if you continue to fight like this, you will sooner or later drag down the other party, but this is not the result that the Blood Banner Boss wants.

"Kouhu, you bunch of waste wood, hit me hard!" roared the Blood Banner Boss. Several times he wanted to give the order to let the infantry rush directly, but he held back at the last moment. Without this kind of war of attrition to destroy the enemy's heavy war machinery, there are probably not a few infantry left in front of the city walls. Even the green-skinned boss who looked at the lives of his subordinates as grass mustard knew that charging at this time was useless, and he would not get anything except a few corpses left on the battlefield.

The boss was furious, and the guards and small leaders around him were all cautious, not daring to approach, for fear of becoming the target of the boss's anger. Although the Blood Banner Boss rarely kills the unlucky ghosts around him, he is a green-skinned boss anyway. The word "boss" alone says a lot of details, for example, it's best to stay away when he's angry.

"Boss...... Boss!" a goblin shouted out of place at a time when everyone wanted to be a shrunken bird. The minor bosses recognized it as Grubb. This goblin is an outlier, the first and most trusted subordinate of the Blood Banner Boss.

"What rice?" the Blood Banner Boss glared at Grubb.

"Boss, there's a bunch of kids who want to join you? they're from the Headhunter Tribe...... Oh, it's from the headhunters!" Grubb looked excited, "they said, they knew a secret passage to the castle. ”

"Hurry, hurry, let those boys come and see me!"

Soon, a small group of goblins groveled in front of the Blood Banner Boss. The leader opened his mouth to be a bunch of words of praise and flattery, but the Blood Banner Boss at this time really didn't have time to listen to this nonsense.

"You say there's a tunnel?" the Blood Banner Boss grabbed the goblin from the ground.

"Yes, yes, boss, there is indeed a tunnel. The goblin replied tremblingly in the hands of the Blood Banner Boss. "I can take you there. ”

"Boss, it could be a scam. I don't know which goblin screamed.

"Scam?" the Blood Banner Boss stared at the goblin's face with horror, causing the goblin's feet to tremble.

"No...... It's not a scam, boss, we're all after you!"

"Tarus!" the Blood Banner Boss ordered, and the tall black orc immediately walked over.

"Tarus, you go in through the secret passage and stab the headhunter in the ass for me!" ordered the Blood Banner Boss. "Bring more heavy boys!"

The battle for long-range weapons at the front continues. Goblin-crafted weapons are honestly unreliable, destroying almost as many enemies as they do by themselves. However, on the other side, too, the boulder and ballista shots began to thin out. And the Blood Banner Tribe still has an endless supply of war machinery waiting to join the battle.

Then, the official siege battle begins. The Blood Banner Boys, shields held alof, braved a rain of arrows to rush to the walls. The ensuing battle was bloody, with the fanatical orcs setting up ladders and climbing up to the top of the city with their hooks. Countless greenskins fought on the walls, and many more fell in their path. The boys of the Blood Banner tribe were defeated in one batch, and immediately rushed up another, and the corpses of their companions who straddled continued to charge, and the two orc bosses did not hesitate to continue to invest in the troops here, and the soldiers on both sides were addicted to the frenzy of battle and could not extricate themselves.

The battle dragged on until the afternoon, and the outcome was the same as many discerning greenskins had predicted. The sound of the fall of the Iron Claw Fortress made even the mountains tremble. When the Blood Banner Boss's strange soldiers rushed out of the city, the defiant roar of the defenders immediately turned into a cry of fear. The Blood Banner Boys, who entered the fortress through the secret passage, opened the gate from the inside, and in an instant, a green tide poured into the fortress. Soon, all those short-sighted and loyal headhunters will not even have the opportunity to take regret medicine. The entire Iron Claw Fortress was littered with carnage and destruction. The orcs were busy cleaning up the remaining enemies, and the goblins were busy slitting the throats of the wounded, scavenging all the places that the orcs had forgotten to scavenge.

The battle took place in the central area of the castle. The headhunter led his most powerful subordinates to put up the most stubborn resistance here, and once succeeded in repelling the Blood Banner Boy who rushed in. But when the Blood Banner Boss rushed in with his own personal guards, the outcome of the matter became clear and clear, and there was no suspense at all.

The Blood Banner Boss and his guards took out all the Recalcitrant with unreasonable ferocity and bravery, and then fulfilled his promise to cut off the Headhunter's head and carefully cut it in half.

At dusk, all the Blood Banner Boys gathered under the city walls. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the Blood Banner Boss came to the highest point of the city wall, his sword held high, and let out an earth-shattering roar towards the sky.

"Boys, listen up~! I'm the commander of the war, the boss of the blood flag. I'm the biggest, I'm the worst, I'm the best! I'm going to give you a big Waaaa...... gh......”

“Waaaa...... gh...... "All the greenskinned orcs raised their weapons and cheered in unison.
