Chapter 129 Drive the wolf to devour the tiger (2)
As the literal meaning suggests, the employees of the venture capital company did have a fight with the thornback boars. Of the combatants on both sides, the ogres mobilized about a dozen, while the thornback boars mobilized about thirty.
Obviously, the venture capital company entered the Mulgore region without the permission of the Thornback clan. In fact, when Gazruin discovered a mine in the Gale Valley, it immediately aroused the concern of other shareholders of the venture capital company.
attention.
Naturally, they were unwilling to put down their dignity and seek cooperation with the kobolds like Gazruin, so they turned to the power of the dwarves. They first discovered the pumice mine on the west bank of the Wrathwater River, and then sent out the goblin escorts.
Follow the dwarves to explore the surrounding area.
Finally, they discovered this excellent mine in the Mogore region, so Gresu sent several groups of men. The first group was attacked by centaurs and all were killed.
While Prell's team was busy fighting in the Scorch Valley, Gresu finally negotiated terms with the centaurs and sent enough manpower to dig out the mine in Mulgore. And the mine supervisor,
The goblin merchant Fitzprok also belongs to the Gresu faction.
Gresu did not send kobolds, but instead used gnolls and ogres as guardians and supervisors, and mobilized employees of various races from the venture capital company, including dwarves and humans, to focus on developing this mine.
The arrival of the venture capital company naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the thornback wild boar people who have lived here for generations. As a result, conflicts between them continued, but the scale of the conflicts was not large. The main reason was that the wild boar people from the red stone came to cause trouble every now and then.
.
In the fight that Gonzalo saw, three or four of the quilboar's companions were injured by the tall and strong ogre, and then fled back in embarrassment. The ogre did not chase him, probably because he was used to it.
Already.
After listening to Gonzalo's story, Prell felt that his plan was a little more solid. After resting for a night, they continued towards the mine.
The mountain giant Koruzik was too big to hide, so he stayed at the foot of the Windy Mountains. Gonzalo led the way, and after constant reconnaissance, he was already extremely familiar with this terrain.
From the grassland to the east, Gonzalo led his companions all the way to the foot of the mountain, passing through a dense forest. The Druid of the Raptor introduced: "There is a group of harpies settled here, and not far to the north is the red
Stone. There is a red stone forest there. Probably out of some kind of belief, a group of wild boar people live there."
Then he pointed to the mountains in the distance: "There is an abandoned cave there, which should have been left by the venture capital company's previous search for mineral veins. About ten miles further south is the venture capital company's new mine!"
Walking south along the foot of the mountain, Prell noticed that there were many abandoned harpy nests in the woods at the foot of the mountain. It was obvious that the venture capital company had already taken over the harpies here before occupying the mine.
Expelled.
He felt that his plan was more certain. When he climbed over two hills and looked toward the mine in the woods between a small valley, Prell saw the newly dug mine from a high position.
The entrance to the mine is at the back of a hillside. With the hillside as the center, there are hundreds of tents surrounding it. There is a group of silly-looking ogres standing boredly outside the tent area.
One of the ogres was dancing with extremely funny movements.
Not far away from them, there were more than twenty gnolls, who were also laughing and watching the dancing ogre, pointing and pointing.
On both sides of the road leading to the mine along the hillside, the grass has not been completely removed, and there are many large and small wooden boxes piled up. Ogres and jackals are constantly pushing loaded mine carts to dig into the mine.
The gravel that came out was pushed to the valley behind the hillside, where it had vaguely accumulated into a hill.
Prell noticed that the group of dancing ogres should be the guards responsible for the northern direction of the mine, while the group of gnolls should be responsible for guarding the southern direction of the mine. The two sides were clearly distinct.
At the same time, Prell also noticed that on the right side of the hillside below the mine, there was a piece of flat land that had been sorted out, and a pile of coarse ore had been sorted out. It was obvious that the mine had begun production.
After observing for more than two hours, the group slowly retreated from the small valley where the woods were located, and then had lunch with dry food in a secluded mountain col.
Gonzalo said: "Not far to the south of the mine, there is a stream flowing from the mountains. The location chosen by the venture capital company is very good."
It seems that after arriving in Mulgore and seeing this rich grassland, Gonzalo felt a little excited. He continued: "The Venture Capital Company has obviously expelled the harpies and is in conflict with the wild boar people. I think the general
The possibility of Rael’s plan being implemented is very high!”
Prell nodded: "Let's go get in touch with the wild boars first." No one objected to his decision, because they had dealt with both harpies and wild boars, and everyone understood that the harpies were a race that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
If no other forces come forward, they are likely to continue to shrink.
After the decision was made, Tamra and Gonzalo left first and returned to the foot of the Windy Mountains to meet up with Koluzik, while Prell took his friends and followed Gonzalo's guidance towards the red stone.
After bypassing the forest where the harpies lived, they continued walking toward the northeastern mountains for a short while. At dusk, they finally saw the red stone.
The red stone was named by the tauren advance team when they explored the Mogore area. This area is a stretch of low hills, with countless red stone pillars scattered among the hills like a stone forest.
Prell did not hide his whereabouts, but walked boldly towards this hilly stone forest. Soon they were discovered by a group of vigilant thornback wild boars, and then dozens of wild boar men opened their short bows, carried stone axes and short swords.
Spears surrounded him.
Prell raised his arms and said loudly: "We mean no harm, please don't be nervous!" But the thornback quilboars were still nervous. They looked at the burly Lexa and the tall black and white panda man Lao Chen.
The leading wild boar swallowed nervously: "Strangers, what do you want to do here?"
He was not surprised that Prell, a kobold, could actually speak the language of the quilboar. Perhaps he ignored it because he was nervous.
Prell said: "We request to meet with your leader. We have a big announcement! Information about the green goblins in the Venture Capital Company!"
Only then did the leading wild boar man react and shouted in surprise: "You can actually speak our language, kobold?" Prell was speechless, feeling that this guy's reflex arc was too long.
Then the wild boar man carrying a short spear looked at Prell's team members and stared at Amedeo with some uncertainty: "Are you from the Steelmane clan?"
Amedeo performed the etiquette of a wild boar: "Yes, I come from the Steelmane clan of Thorn Ridge in the Barrens. My name is Amedeo! These are my friends, and we have important information to tell you!"
Seemingly because he saw a member of his own race, the leading wild boar man finally became less nervous. He said, "Follow me. I want to warn you, it's best not to act rashly!"
His threat was mainly directed at the two most dangerous-looking characters in the team. Rexxar did not speak, but scratched his chin with his big hand. Pandaren Old Chen grabbed another grass stalk and threw it into his mouth to chew. Since leaving,
After Pandaria, there was a lack of bamboo, so he especially liked to hold a grass stalk in his mouth, which made him look cool.
The group of people was brought to the outskirts of the stone forest by the cautious wild boar people and stopped. The leader of the wild boar people ordered people to report, while he and his other companions continued to vigilantly monitor Prell and his party.
It's just that the eyes of these wild boars were attracted by Amedeo and Lestalen, who was wearing a cloak to hide his green feathers. They really couldn't figure out how this sudden team gathered so many strange people.
Race.
After waiting for about half an hour, the sun was already slanting on the top of the mountains in the west, and finally a group of wild boar people came out from the depths of the stone forest.
The leader was a wild boar shaman wearing a light purple robe, with a gray beard, and holding a short wooden staff in his hand. Behind him were four or five shamans, and more than a dozen hunters and warriors.
The wild boar shaman asked: "Kobold, what information do you have to tell us?" He did not introduce himself, and Prell did not take it seriously. He simply introduced himself and said: "Venture Capital Company
He has already set his sights on this land.
We have now settled in that mine, and more green goblins, humans, dwarves, ogres and gnolls will come here to cut down trees and explore for mineral veins. I think you will not tolerate them.
Let’s destroy your homes wantonly!”
The wild boar shaman coughed: "You mean, those big fat guys with blue skin who are very capable of fighting are ogres?" Prell nodded.
"Then why should we believe what you say? The goblins have promised us that they will only dig that mine and will not encroach on more of our land!"
Prell laughed loudly: "Do you also believe what the goblins say? To tell you the truth, I come from the Stonetalon Mountains. The venture capital company occupied the Gale Valley a few years ago, and the forests there have been cut down and destroyed by the goblins.
It's so bad.
The natives throughout the Stonetalon Mountains have suffered greatly. Have you seen my companion? She is a powerful harpy spellcaster, and her homeland has also been occupied and destroyed by the goblins.
Or you can ask my companion, Amedeo from the Briarmane Clan of Thorn Ridge, who is also a quilboar, and he will tell you what the goblins are doing in the Barrens!"
The shaman looked at Lestalen. The little harpy girl's green feathers that were not perfectly covered by the cloak made him look solemn, and then he looked at Amedeo.
Although he knew that some of Prell's words were not completely true, Amedeo still said honestly: "The goblins occupy the north of the Barrens. They opened up a trade route and passed through our Steelmane clan's distribution in the Raging Waters.
The Briar Ridge and Razor Ridge on both sides of the river even refuse to pay tolls. They sell weapons everywhere and provoke fights between the Steelmane clan and humans. In short, they do all kinds of evil!"
Prell nodded with satisfaction. He was very pleased that after following him for so long, Amedeo, the silly wild boar man, could finally speak.
