84: Beyond the King of the Mountain
In Mishan's hometown, Mr. Tolkien, the founder of Western fantasy novels, spent a lot of writing on several cities of the Dwarfs in Middle-earth World in his book "The Hobbit".
Among them is Elbol, who is famous for his magnificence... The main plot point of "The Hobbit" is the lonely mountain occupied by the fire dragon Smaug.
When designing the Black Rock Mountain, the main city of Black Iron Dwarf, the designers of World of Warcraft also paid tribute to Mr. Tolkien's works.
The city dug in the mountains has a brilliant history, but is now occupied by giant dragons.
It can be said that the upper part of the Black Stone Tower is the World of Warcraft version of Elbol.
In the second half, he was enslaved for summoning the King of Fire Demon, and he paid tribute to Caesar Dome, the capital of the Middle-earth dwarf in Mr. Tolkien's works.
If you have to say orthodox words, it is almost the black iron dwarf copied by the Middle Earth dwarf in World of Warcraft. It is indeed much more orthodox than the other two clans... Of course, the other two races will not recognize it.
After crossing the cast iron gate and entering the interior of Blackstone Mountain.
You will find that the cities created by the Black Iron Dwarves are not the same routine as the cities of the Dwarves in the Middle Earth.
Perhaps it is difficult to understand in Mr. Tolkien's novels, but in the movie, the construction level of the Middle Earth dwarfs is fully expressed.
The construction style of the Black Iron Dwarfs in World of Warcraft is very rough... and also very shocking.
The abdomen of Heishi Mountain was hollowed out, and two metal roads, twenty or thirty meters wide, were slanted around the edge of the hollowed-out abdomen.
Three dwarf statues, which are visually hundreds of meters tall, stand in triangular positions on the mountain walls on the ring road.
Each statue uses a different posture, dragging an extra-large iron chain composed of a single metal buckle with a diameter of about ten meters and a cut surface diameter of about ten meters.
The iron chain dragged by the statue fixed an irregular rock in the center of the mountain belly.
Below the rock is rolling lava.
Beside the dwarf statues are dwarf-style buildings... but now they do not belong to the Black Iron Dwarf.
Metal rings, standing statues, huge iron chains and those dwarf buildings lined up.
The most legendary "Hodmar" in the main city of the three dwarf clans in the Azeroth world
In the Dwarf, the word means "a king beyond the mountains"
The craftsmen of the black iron dwarfs once built and cast this city under the leadership of Frank Ron Cast Iron.
As Mishan fell into admiration for the great craftsmen of the black iron dwarfs, a barking of wolf came from behind.
"It's the orc's wolf knight!! Take up the weapon! Set up the shield!!" General Angfer immediately ordered after hearing this voice.
With a command, the ten black iron dwarf heavy infantry walking in the last immediately turned around and lined up, half-squatted down and held their shields in front of them to cover their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, ten dwarf heavy infantrymen put their shields on their comrades' shields.
Combined into a steel wall.
"Is this a tribute?" Looking at the same formation posture as the Middle Earth dwarves in the movie "The Hobbit", Mishan was thinking whether this was a screenwriter's problem or whether it was a dwarf's height problem, it was suitable for this formation method.
But soon, this kind of tribute added something that belonged to World of Warcraft itself.
Except for the black and iron dwarf soldiers who had arranged the shield wall, they stretched their spears out of the gaps in the shield wall.
The remaining thirty soldiers crossed their shields and spears behind them in a very simultaneous manner, took out a clamp gun and put them on gunpowder.
After the thirty Black Iron Dwarf Musketeers completed the gunpowder loading, the forward of the Black Stone Orc Wolf Knight had already crossed the cast iron gate.
"First row!" General Angfer, who also held a medley gun in his hand, shouted.
After hearing the order, the dwarf musketeers in the first row inserted their muskets and their companions' spears into the gap in the shield wall.
"Open fire!"
"Bang bang bang" the unique shooting sound of the melee gun continued to sound, and the wolf cavalry rushing in the front was directly beaten into a sieve.
The few behind were also in a brief uncontrollable state because the mount was attacked or the rider was attacked, and they plunged into the shield wall that was already like a hedgehog.
"Second row! Shoot!" General Angfer continued to shout.
After the first shot, the dwarf musketeer stood up with a well-trained training, took a step back and gave his position to the back row, and then refilled the gunpowder.
Mishan was a little surprised that the Black Iron Dwarf could have developed three shots, but she also felt that it was reasonable.
After all, the Black Iron Dwarf has been competing for territory with the Black Stone Orcs over the years, so it is normal to develop these tactics.
What surprised Mishan even more was that what these black iron dwarves studied was not the fixed-point three-stage shooting that was blown into the sky by historical inventors in the 11th zone on Earth.
Instead, the genuine one can cooperate with the sword and shield soldiers to attack.
After blocking the first wave of charges of the wolf cavalry by leaning against the double shield wall and three consecutive shots, these black iron dwarf soldiers began to slowly and unstoppably kill the wolf cavalry, or push them directly into the lava, just like moving fortresses.
Just like the Qi family army on Earth destroyed the Japanese pirates.
Facing the black iron dwarves like the steel fortress, the wolf cavalry, who lost their speed advantage and had no mobile advantage, were soon defeated because the battlefield was too narrow.
"If it were just that, why would the Black Iron Dwarf be confined to the underground Dark Furnace City?" Mi Shan asked with some surprise.
"Because it was not the Black Stone Orc who occupied the Black Stone Tower, Lord." Greenhill took out his weapon and looked up and raised his head.
As Mi Shan raised her head, she saw only a dozen black young dragons riding by orcs flying in from another gate in Hodmar City.
Condescendingly, he formed a stance of attacking the black stone orc wolf cavalry.
"It's the Dragoon!! The circular formation!!" General Angfer shouted loudly.
The black iron dwarf soldiers who had already advanced forward immediately took them back. Twenty of the thirty musketeers picked up shields and formed a new shield wall array.
With his companions who had set up the shield wall before, they formed a circle, protecting Commander General Angfer, Mishan and Greenhill.
The remaining ten soldiers continued to fire in the circular shield formation in the posture of musketeers at the wolf knights and the dragon cavalry in the sky.
From three stages of shooting, moving the fortress became a fixed battle bunker.
These black iron dwarf soldiers' skillful formation transformation and refined combat skills opened Mi Shan's eyes.
