Soon, Gnom rushed back, followed by a group of Iron-Smashing Warriors.
"Nearly thirty of these brothers have returned to the embrace of the ancestors and gods! They are all true warriors! Excluding those who are injured and need treatment, there are still sixty warriors who can go with you!"
Gnom's tone was quite serious. For a sparsely populated race like the dwarves, every member of the tribe was a valuable asset, not to mention an elite iron-breaking warrior.
Looking at the clansmen whose armors were covered with scratches and bloodstains, Snorri nodded heavily.
"Take all the iron dragon gunners with you too!" Gnom continued.
"If you can't, big brother, I'll just take half of it. The underground tunnel is a narrow environment, and there are too many people to use it! What's more, it will be much easier for you to clear the greenskins on the ground with the high-temperature flames they spout!" Snorri declined the big brother. of kindness.
For the green-skinned tribe, it is not possible to view this group entirely from the perspective of animals. The reproduction method of the green-skinned tribe is the best proof.
There is no distinction between male and female among the green skins. There is a special spore in their blood vessels. There is a mutually beneficial symbiosis mechanism between the green skins and the spores. The spores absorb the nutrients in the green skin blood to obtain the energy needed for survival. When the green skins are affected by When seriously injured, for example, if a limb is severed, the spores will secrete a special hormone that stimulates the green skin's regeneration ability.
The green skins enter the reproductive stage, and the spores begin to secrete a hormone, which puts the host's consciousness into a state of confusion. The green skins will stay away from their tribe and wander alone in the wild. At this time, the spores will be released from the body and lodge in the in the soil.
After the green skins returned to the tribe, the spores in the soil began to slowly germinate. They would spread underground and form countless plant ovaries. With sufficient nutrients and water, the first batch of creatures born were farts. Sprite and Squig.
After the first creatures, goblins were the second species born, and the last were orcs.
The entire ecosystem does not require extra nutrients from external sources, ensuring that the orcs' waaagh will never lack manpower and food resources no matter where they march.
In addition to natural reproduction, greenskins will also reproduce under another situation, and that is when a greenskin is forced to release the spores in his body ----- injured or killed.
It is also because the green skins will directly carry out the work of passing on the family line when the host dies. In fact, the spores will also secrete a hormone. Under the influence of this hormone, each green skin will enter a state of intense excitement when it starts to bleed. ,
This kind of nature that exists in living creatures makes the greenskins only have two thoughts in their minds: beating people and being beaten. This nature perfectly explains why the greenskin tribe is keen on fighting.
Because of this characteristic of spreading spores upon death, if the released spores are not eliminated by fire or other methods in time after defeating and killing a group of greenskins, a new batch of greenskins will be produced in the next year. This is the experience summed up by the dwarves in countless years of confrontation.
Gnom nodded, the Iron Dragon Hand Cannon was exactly what he needed.
"Brothers, take a break and have something to eat! Let's set off in half an hour!" Snorri shouted.
While the dwarves on the pursuit mission were chewing dry food, the gold seeker's uncle collected the food and water carried by the other dwarves, and even the detonators that were not used by the miners were also concentrated and given to Snorri's men.
Soon, when it was time to set off, Snorri counted the troops with him:
Hammer of Eternity Guards 10 people
Anvil Guard 40 people
Ironbreaker Warriors 60 people
Miners (detonators) 30 people
10 iron dragon gunners
Since the heavy arrow crossbowmen and thunder gunners had almost run out of ammunition, Snorri did not take them with him, and a total of 150 dwarves rushed into the dim tunnel.
Although the ratmen were one step ahead and faster, they were determined to be unable to match the tenacious dwarves in terms of endurance.
Not far away, Snorri saw some clan rats lying scattered on the roadside. Before he could stop him, the iron-breaking warriors at the front of the team sent these rats to meet their rat god with one axe. .
"Keep alive! Ask what's going on," said Snorri,
"Why are these rat people paralyzed on the roadside?"
"Dear Goddess Chosen, this is because they have run out of food! These mice are too hungry to walk!" Johnson explained to Snorri.
"Normally, these guys will be killed by their remaining kin and used as dry food, but it seems that this time the leading rat was in a hurry to escape and didn't care!"
Compared with other races, rat people are very fast. This speed is all-round, from movement speed to growth speed to the speed of thinking.
This trait makes their development and progress extremely fast, but their fast metabolism also gives them a terrifying appetite.
And because rat people don't have much fat reserves on their bodies, they will always feel hungry, and this situation will have serious consequences if it is not resolved.
This section of the leyline network has been abandoned for a long time, so the signposts along the way have long been lost.
Snorri roughly judged from the average speed of the dwarves and arranged for the team to take a short rest after advancing about ten kilometers.
The dwarves sat down and drank some beer to replenish their strength. Everyone knew that the moment they caught up with the enemy, it would be a desperate fight!
After a short rest, the team continued to move forward, and soon the dwarves discovered that in addition to slave rats and clan rats, there were even sporadic storm rats among the rats lying on the ground!
These strong, black-furred rats are now at the mercy of the dwarves like their frail brethren.
Seeing this scene, the dwarves knew that the chase was coming to an end. There was deathly silence in the dim leyline network. Each dwarf clenched the weapon in his hand and moved forward quickly with his legs.
Suddenly, the dwarves in the front row heard shouts of kill! The screams and screams on one side must be the ratmen running for their lives, but who is fighting them? It can't be that there's internal strife among the rat people, right?
Out of caution, Snorri adjusted his formation. He led the Hammer of Eternity guards and iron dragon gunners at the front.
Feeling the recharged rune energy in the ring on his middle finger, Snorri believed that no matter what he faced, he and the elite around him could withstand the first wave of blows!
"The ancestor goddess protects us!" Snorri took a deep breath and roared, and was the first to rush through the corner of the tunnel!
"Bang!"
A furry thing crashed into Snorri's arms. He didn't have time to take a closer look in the dark tunnel. He raised his hammer and gave it a hard blow!
With a "poof!", red and white splashed all over Snorri!
"Suppressive fire!"
Snorri said, triggering the runes on the ring, and a huge fireball and ten tongues of fire lit up the entire earth network!
