The old dwarf was stunned for a while before he tremblingly knelt down and picked up his pipe. When he stood up again, he seemed to have aged a few years.
"My ancestors and gods! I really thought you were kidding me!" He paused.
"When I was following the exploration team in the east to search for mineral veins, I heard an ancient saying that was said to be from the Cathay Empire, 'Since ancient times, heroes are born in youth!' I didn't take it seriously at that time. I thought that if I really want to make a difference, I have to rely on my beard and experience. Now I see You really were right!"
"Let's go in first! It's not a problem to have everyone standing outside in the middle of the night!" Gnom called the convoy, and the group entered the outpost in an orderly manner.
The convoy went to unload the goods. Snorri, Gnom and several higher-status dwarves in this outpost walked into the conference room, and Glenson, the captain of the Eternal Hammer, also followed.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the gold patrol uncle, the honored prospector of our clan and the vice-president of the miners' guild. Back then, he worked side by side with our grandfather!" Gnom looked at him. The old dwarf said.
"Hahaha, I have been that old man's deputy for hundreds of years. When your father Thorgrin was elected as the High King, he boasted to me that the location of your ancestor's tomb was very good, and that the achievements of his descendants will continue to be there in the future. above this.
I thought he was too drunk! Is there a nobler dwarf in this world than the High King? Unexpectedly, the ancestral gods would once again send down their divine grace after so many years and choose a divine choice! "The old dwarf finally came to his senses. He took a long puff of cigarette and became a little excited.
"Uncle, we met a group of slave rats in the tunnel on our way back. This is not a good sign! Is there anything unusual here in the past two days?" Gnom asked from the main seat.
"You came back at the right time! Gnom, we just had a meeting to discuss it. If you don't come back tomorrow, we should send someone to Karaz-a-Karak to report the news!" Uncle Gold Seeker said openly,
"After you left, we followed your orders and suspended underground mining activities. However, the greenskins reacted very strangely. They changed from their previous style of clinging to the fortress and refusing to die, and instead took the initiative to harass us.
This afternoon, the green-skinned general even brought a bunch of boys to try to attack our outpost. Without you, I didn't dare to go out to form a formation, and let the crossbowmen, thunder guns and ballistae fire several rounds of volleys to drive them back. "
"Ha! They don't want their lives. Just in time, let us wipe out the hatred!" Gnom hit the table with his fist.
"Pass my order, let the main force have a good rest, and arrange sentinel shifts to prevent night attacks. Get up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, eat at eight o'clock, and when you're full, follow me out to crush those brainless green things!"
As he spoke, Gnom was about to stand up and leave the table. He yawned loudly. He had been running around continuously for the past few days, and even a tough race like the dwarves could not withstand it.
"Brother, don't be anxious, just listen to me!" Snorri, who said nothing after entering the door, spoke. After hearing this, the dwarves who were about to leave stopped. They were interested in the choice of this young goddess. Enough respect.
"Oh? Does my brother have anything to say?" Gnom asked with great interest. In his memory, Lisnoli had been immersed in rune scrolls since he was a child and had little interest in war.
"Brother, think about it, what do the greenskins want to do by sending cavalry to harass us, and even attack our outpost with their main force?"
"Of course you want to fight with us! Do you want to surrender to us? We don't accept greenskin prisoners!" Gnom replied.
"Then what is our relationship with the greenskins?"
"It's nonsense, isn't it! We have been sworn enemies with the greenskins since the time of our ancestors! Do you still want to be related to them? If you want to go, don't take our Drazkrad clan with you!" Gnom! Confused.
"Yes, can we do what the enemies want us to do? If their wishes come true, then it won't hurt the loved ones, but the enemies will be happy?" Snorri dropped his book bag.
"Yeah, every time we take the initiative and want to fight the greenskins, they always close the door and won't come out!"
"If you don't want to fight, don't fight. If you want to fight, fight if you want. We can't let those idiots get what they want!"
After listening to Snorri's analysis, the surrounding dwarves screamed.
"Look, if the greenskins suddenly behave like this, there must be something wrong inside the fortress! Either they have run out of food, or they are fighting with the rats!"
After contacting the slave rats he saw on the road and the miners who found traces of rat men underground, Snorri gave his own judgment.
"That makes sense!"
"As expected of the goddess!"
"Ha! I thought so too!"
"Forget it! You shouted the loudest among the people who were just called out for a decisive battle!"
After listening to Snorri's words, the surrounding dwarves all agreed.
Genom was overjoyed. He drank the beer in his glass and said, "Okay! My brother has grown up! I have read a lot about this art of war in books, but I still always think about it every time I meet him. Just hammer it!" He was really happy for Snorri's growth.
"Then what do you think we should do next?" Gnom decided to hand over the dominant position to Snorri.
In front of so many elders, Snorri was slightly nervous. This was also his first time to participate in a military meeting.
"If you want me to see, it's better to wait and see for another two or three days. Anyway, we have just shipped a batch of supplies, so there is no need to worry. If a small-scale fast force harasses us, we will leave it alone. If a large force still dares to attack the outpost, then continue with the long-range Weapon greeting back,"
Snorri paused to organize his words before speaking. "In addition to doing a good job of vigilance to prevent night attacks, we also need to send more scouts to find out the intelligence. It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger! Who is the leader of the ranger unit?"
A middle-aged dwarf dressed strangely came out in response. He was not wearing the common heavy steel armor, but was wearing a leather armor and a cloak. His face was covered with traces of wind and frost.
Rangers are an anomaly among the dwarf troops. Unlike the tribesmen who generally move underground, they usually live in the wilderness away from the city. This force is often composed of hunters, shepherds, and some clans whose original mountain forts have been captured but are unwilling to join other mountain forts to live under others will form a ranger force. They are also very common in dwarf settlements in human society.
This troop is equipped with a variety of weapons, from crossbows and muskets to battle axes and traps.
Rangers usually work in small groups, undertaking tasks such as sentry vigilance, gathering intelligence, outflanking the rear, attacking and destroying war machines, and even assassinating.
Although they are an indispensable part of the dwarf army, and the stories of legendary rangers are often precious conversation topics at the wine table, they do not receive much respect from dwarf society.
"Assign your people to keep an eye on the greenskins' movements and pay attention to protecting your own safety!" Snorri gave the order.
I have given some good recommendations this week, please continue asking for votes, favorites and rewards. There will be more updates tonight.
I watched the trailer for Aurora. It was originally in the outline, but it was relatively far back. I couldn’t help it, it was too far.
