Section 42 Urgent Report

The gray cloak let out a long sigh and removed the helmet-like object from its head.

"How?" asked Worchel.

"It's not very easy to control. The ash and white cloak admitted. "It took a lot of effort to get it done. Despite the simplicity of the minds of the greenskins, they have an extraordinary determination. It's still a bit difficult to manipulate the white-handed boss at will...... Thankfully, it's just a little bit difficult. ”

"It wasn't supposed to be like this. Warcher replied. "You should ...... Well, according to our original plan, follow the natural guidance to do it. Rather than imposing your will on his will. ”

"It doesn't matter anyway. The gray cloak replied uninterestedly. "I just want to take on the Scarlet Duke on the battlefield to see if he's really that good. ”

You don't have to deny that. Anyway, he also led the greenskin to kill Carl directly......"

"Don't talk to me about that shit. I wasn't surprised at all that he was slaughtered. No, it should be said that he was slaughtered entirely because he was to blame and blamed others. Remember the report that Elan had submitted? That idiot had to say that everything was under his control a few days before the final battle. ”

"And what about him defeating the Ryan at Purple Stone?"

"It's just because Leto is an idiot!" replied the Gray Cloak. "The level of incompetence is unbelievable. ”

"Well, your words are not objective. But you have to admit that he took the Warrior Elves all the way to the dark elves' lair, right? It's not because the opponent is too wasteful, right?"

"That's just luck!" said the gray cloak dismissively. "If he can beat me this time, I'll admit that he's a great general. ”

"The conditions you set are so unfair. Worchel said solemnly. "He now has only 7,000 soldiers—even fewer if you count his losses in previous battles—and you have 40,000 greenskins under your command. In addition, the intelligence aspect is even more unilateral and transparent, and we know all about his strategic deployment, military details, etc., while he knows nothing about our every move. ”

"So if he beats me, I really admit he's amazing. The gray cloak replied. "Otherwise, he's just a bit of a lucky waste. Help me observe the military setup of the dwarven base camp. ”

Walcher shrugged and returned to his place. A few minutes later, he had the answer.

"It's just an ordinary camp, and the main fortification is a wall built around it. It was only three to five days before Greenskin's arrival, and I don't think even a dwarf would be able to turn such a rudimentary camp fortification into an impregnable wall in such a short period of time. So you don't know how to worry about tackling tough problems. ”

"Hmph. By the time my troops arrived, the only option for the Scarlet Duke was to abandon his army and flee alone. ”

"Not necessarily. I don't know what it's about, I don't think you can necessarily win. ”

"Why do you think that?" asked the gray cloak, staring at each other, word by word.

"Assume boldly and verify carefully, I'm just ignoring the next step. Worchel said with a smile. "Don't show that expression. I just thought it was fun. Can you deal with him so seriously...... Well, it shows that in fact, deep down, you doubt that he has the ability to turn the tide of the war. ”

"What can he twist?" asked the gray cloak rhetorically. In terms of troops, he has absolute superiority, and in terms of intelligence, every move of the dwarven legion is under their surveillance. What tricks can the Scarlet Duke play?

"I want to ...... Maybe a night raid will do. Warcher replied. "Of course, I don't know anything about this kind of war in the primordial realm, just a casual guess. Perhaps, after an assassination kill, kill the boss, and the greenskin will collapse directly. ”

"Then I'm really going to look forward to it. The gray cloak replied in a sarcastic tone. "Although I think he will decisively abandon the army and flee. ”

......

The tribe of the white-handed boss is moving forward quite fast.

Most of the greenskins are used to the mountains, and the difficult mountain roads for humans are nothing to the greenskins. Ever since the White-Hand Boss announced that he was going to deal with the dwarves, the Greenskins quickly set out for camp - and of course, the march remained a noisy and chaotic routine. And the unreasonable and even incomprehensible orders of the white-handed boss were unwittingly ignored by all the greenskin bosses.

Five days, after five days, the greenskins will arrive at the dwarven base camp and uproot the dwarves in one fell swoop. Every Greenskin knows that the Ironhide Boss will never be easily eliminated by the Dwarves - according to Greenskin's general opinion, a war commander will not fight the streets without a lot of effort. So the dwarves must have suffered heavy losses, become weak and easy to defeat. At the thought of the coming battle, all the greenskins were enthusiastic and couldn't wait to do a big fight, so although they didn't follow the ridiculous orders of the white-handed boss, the greenskins marched faster than expected.

The only trouble is the white-made boss himself. Each boss has noticed that the boss's quirks are getting worse. More than one of the boss's henchmen heard the boss muttering some nonsense from time to time, and walked with a distracted spirit, and sometimes even quarreled with himself in his own words. However, on the one hand, the white-handed boss's record of winning consecutive battles in the past is too proud for the leaders of a group of subordinates to dare not make a mistake, and on the other hand, there are only a few days left before the battle with the dwarves, so the greenskins have endured it. However, there are still some Greenskins who privately complain that sooner or later something will happen to the boss's convulsions.

But fortunately, the march route drawn up by the white-handed boss did not have a convulsion. On the surface, his line is crooked, and he is reluctant to seek the near and far, which is completely inconsistent with the straightforward character of Greenskin. But in fact, when it comes to action, the green-skinned boys find that it's actually pretty good. Some of the troublesome terrain has been circumvented, making the overall speed a little faster than if you were walking in a straight line.

On the third day, the greenskins spotted the helicopter overhead. Like the trouble the Tin Boss had before, the White-Handed Boss didn't have any flying troops in his troops, so they could only watch the helicopters and do nothing. But in fact, it is not so much the helicopter that brings Greenskin's "visible and untouchable" unwillingness, but the huge impact it brings to the dwarven legions in the distance.

When the news returned, Ashrufat was gathering a meeting of his subordinates. The content of the meeting was the next combat operation. Because of the cleaning of the battlefield after the previous victory, the large-scale celebrations, and the troublesome but small things that had to be dealt with such as the dispatch and disposal of the wounded and supplies, the dwarves had wasted nearly ten days. During this time, most of the dwarves spent their time in the afterglow of idleness and the joy of victory.

No one can be blamed for this, because everyone believes that the most dangerous and difficult page in the battle to regain the peninsula has been turned. The battle will be a long one, possibly for years, but victory is assured. Therefore, at this time, those large greenskin tribes with tens of thousands of members have been wiped out, and all that remains are only some medium-sized tribes, and the largest number is only a few thousand. With the well-equipped and well-trained soldiers of the Avengers, defeating these hordes is no problem.

Almost all of this news about the Greenskins came from the captured goblins. The goblins are timid, and the threatened goblins are quick to reveal the truth. So this intelligence is considered reliable. Of course, this information is "originally" reliable.

So when the soldiers delivering the urgent news rushed in from outside and reported the discovery, many of the dwarven officers were shocked.

"You're saying that a large army of greenskins is coming towards us?"

"That's right, Master. "Originally, Ashrufat directly used the communication rune stone to communicate directly with various troops, but since defeating the Iron Boss, this practice has become unnecessary. So by this time the army's messaging had returned to normal, and a communications officer was in charge of communicating with the helicopter.

In fact, in the current situation, even sending helicopters to patrol the four sides seems a bit overly cautious......

"How many greenskins?"

"According to the driver's report, there are at least thirty thousand. ”

If Master Ashrufat was equally shocked, then at least on the surface, he just nodded, and then simply gave the painless order to "confirm the news, and carefully observe the number and composition of the greenskins". The soldier retreated.

"Master, this is a trap!" Carrie had already reacted violently in her mind.

"Trap ......," Ashrufat looked around as he pondered the word. The entire conference room was silent, everyone was thinking, or shocked that the sudden news had not yet reacted.

"Master, do you remember the unexpected tenacity of the Greenskins, who did not crumble after falling into the trap I set and suffering heavy losses, but were able to continue their actions and eventually fight us. Carrie emphasized. "Especially in the fighting, the greenskins don't see a lack of morale at all. This is absolutely not normal. ”

Ashrufat had been the commander of the war for a while as the "Boss of the Blood Banner", so he was all too familiar with the Greenskins. Carrie was right, after a series of traps and losses, it was indeed a great miracle that the Iron Boss was able to maintain the morale of his troops. At that time, Carrie judged that a third party was intervening because of this, and she almost messed up.

According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the goblin captives, after defeating the Iron Boss, the strength of the Green Skins on the peninsula was only about 40,000 or 50,000. Although they are far outnumbered by the Avengers, in reality these greenskins are scattered into small and medium-sized tribes, and they are scattered throughout the peninsula. In this case, the dwarves can easily implement the tactic of breaking down one by one, dividing the entire area into different areas, clearing them one by one, and completely eliminating the greenskins in a year or two.

To say that these tribes have organized themselves in a very short period of time to form a new Waaaagh army - while not theoretically impossible, is also an event with negligible probability. Now this impossible thing has become a reality - if there is a theoretical possibility, then it is not "accidental" that the Greenskins marched straight to the dwarven base camp without saying a word. Ashrufat's previous battles had all avoided the base camp, so it was impossible for the Greenskins to know where to go. Even the Iron Boss didn't fight here.

"There's got to be something going on here!" Carrie said categorically.

"I think ...... too But we don't have time to track this down...... The most pressing thing at the moment is - what are we going to do?" Ashrufat asked Carrie in his mind.

"Leave. Carrie was silent for a few seconds before replying. She didn't say "retreat", she said "leave".
