After the death of the multi-headed snake, the Snake King's Cave was destroyed. Without the king's rule, countless poisonous snakes poured out of the cave.
This shocked the people who were staying on the ground. Fortunately, the snakes just ran away and did not engage in any fight with the people.
After suffering such a fright, when the huge and weird body of the hydra was dragged out of the ground, everyone found that they were not so surprised anymore.
Compared with the corpse of the hydra, everyone admired Van Cleef's legendary experience more.
He encountered such danger but survived, and in the end he even became the biggest beneficiary.
After Van Cleef was promoted to the realm of heroes, the old Chendu Hero Club finally opened again.
Since the establishment of the Hero Department, Lao Chen has been busy alone. It was not until Kel'Thuzad served as the Protector of the Vast Sea as a visiting professor that he only had a name in the Hero Department.
Now that Van Cleef has become a hero, Lao Chen feels that he will no longer be so lonely in the future.
But at the same time, Lao Chen began to have some difficulties. In the past, when he was alone, everything was easy. He just visited the poor and solved the difficulties, and communicated with superiors. Now that there is an additional Van Cleef, what should the Heroes Department do in the future?
It's just that this question was kept in Lao Chen's heart, and he didn't ask Li De to find the answer.
Because of the attack on Van Cleef, the development work was forced to be suspended, which had already delayed Li De for a day.
I think Lao Chen really doesn't need to take up Li De's precious time anymore. It's better to figure out some small problems by myself.
Li De indeed had a lot of things to be busy with. He left these matters on the cliff highlands to Lao Chen and Niebuhr, and Li De returned to Gadgetzan.
After arriving at the headquarters, I held a meeting with Dai Lin.
During this period, Daelin also asked about Zul'Farrak Highlands and VanCleef. This road was related to the progress of the Theramore project, so Daelin paid special attention to it.
After receiving a positive answer that the problem had been solved, Dai Lin felt relieved and returned his main focus to the war.
"Kezan's fleet has been repaired, but they don't seem to have any plans to attack in the short term.
The Red Dragon Flying Brigade would bomb the skies above Kezan every day, but the goblins still only assumed a passive defense posture.
Their anti-aircraft weapons are very diverse, and the Red Dragons can only bomb at high altitudes."
Ever since Li De handed over the command of the air formation to the navy, Dai Lin can now be said to be addicted to three-dimensional combat.
After all, as a naval admiral who had been attacked by a giant dragon, he understood the power of air suppression very well.
Speaking of which, there is an anecdote. The person in the navy who is mainly responsible for contacting the flying group happens to be Dai Lin's eldest son Derek.
The head of the Navy, Derek, and the head of the flying group, Buck Romworth, are now in contact with each other. It can be said that their lives have changed and changed.
"Kezan's overall contraction at sea means that they are now really pinning their hopes on the land battlefield.
Ratchet City, established by the Steamwheedle Group in the Barrens, is a goblin settlement with a population of nearly 10,000.
The city lord Gazlowe is a powerful engineer, leading an army of nearly two thousand people.
In addition to the goblin's own army, there are also three thousand ogre mercenaries entering the Barrens.
According to the intelligence sent back by our intelligence station, these two armies have been severely inflicting heavy losses on the wild boar rebels in recent times.
Calgar and Captain Fang had already recovered part of the southeastern part of the Razor Highlands by planning riots, causing heavy losses to Kezan's cotton.
But now that Ratchet City and the Ogres are attacking fiercely, Calgar and the others are not having an easy time."
In fact, Calgar had already asked Li De for help, but Li De was not in a hurry to send troops.
Because he judged that the primary purpose of Kezan's army was not to drive out the wild boar rebels.
If he just wanted to strengthen his control over the colonies, there was no need for Kezan to send out so many troops.
As long as this army has a way to enter the Thousand Needles from the Barrens, they will naturally not have too much entanglement with the wild boar people. They will definitely turn into the Thousand Needles immediately and attack the Hanhai Protector through the Shining Plains.
If it were in the past, goblins with the ability to travel through the Thousand Needles Stone Forest might indeed pose a huge threat to the Vast Sea Protector.
But today, the situation has completely changed. The wild boar people in the north of Thousand Needles Stone Forest and the harpies in the south have expressed their willingness to establish a cooperative relationship with the Hanhai Protector.
Even if Kezan's army takes the path of Thousand Needles, every move will be under Li De's control.
According to his own intelligence system and the information provided by the wild boar people, Kezan's army re-captured parts of Razor Marsh and Razor Highlands after defeating the wild boar rebels for the latest time.
There is a long stretch of flat cliff that can be descended into Thousand Needles. Based on Ratchet City's engineering and technological level, building a temporary elevator on that stretch of cliff is not a problem at all.
In the words of Nogfogg and Bigwitz, Gazlowe is the most outstanding goblin construction engineer of their generation.
According to the news from the Screaming Harpy, a temporary elevator has indeed appeared on the cliff at the edge of the Barrens.
For harpies with the ability to fly at low altitudes, the Thousand Needles Forest, where elemental creatures are rampant, is not that dangerous. They are the most convenient eyes in this land.
After learning this information, Li De did not send troops to destroy the elevator.
It's not that this kind of thing can't be done, but Li De is really curious about how the goblin troops can safely cross the Thousand Needles Stone Forest.
In fact, Li De is not the only one who has this question. Goligra, the leader of the Gorduni ogres, is also extremely curious.
Goligra is an ogre magician with only one head. Such a traditional ogre magician is rare nowadays. He can sit in the leader's position with only one head and arcane magic, which is enough.
See his strength.
"This thing can make those elements quiet?"
Goligra raised a bronze lamp with his little finger and said in disbelief.
No ogre likes elementals, especially ogre magicians.
Because when the elements are mentioned, the ogres will think of the orc shamans who believe in the elements.
Just like someone who is finally willing to trace back to the time when their ancestors were almost all wealthy, in the history of Gorongas, the ogres also established a powerful magic empire.
However, the great magic empire eventually perished in the hands of the orc shamans and elements.
This can also explain why Goligra's tone was full of disgust and fear when he saw the elemental creatures in Thousand Needles.
"Don't worry, we have tested this thing and it is very effective and safe."
The commander Tinkervis sent by Gazlowe shook his head and said, but there was still the second half of the sentence left unsaid in his heart.
'It's very safe in Thousand Needles Stone Forest, but it's not necessarily safe outside here.'
