Chapter 133 Drive the wolf to devour the tiger (6)
The battle lasted less than two hours and was completely over.
In Prell's opinion, this was a very typical street fight. A few months ago, the goblins successfully occupied this mine and drove away the nearby harpies and wild boars.
go out.
However, the goblins did not realize one thing, that is, both wild boars and harpies were very sparsely scattered throughout the Mulgore region.
This is determined by the living habits of the two races. The wild boar people are better, at least they can raise fighting pigs. But both the harpies and the wild boar people still make a living by gathering and hunting.
This way of life determines that they must live in small groups, so the goblins can unilaterally crush these small groups without organizational skills in the early stage. Even if the wild boars of red stone come occasionally
After all, they couldn't defeat the goblins' ogre and gnoll thugs despite provocation.
The slow performance of the two races in the early stage also made the goblins mistakenly believe that these indigenous races were afraid of them. In a sense, their arrogance caused them to lack sufficient defense against the counterattacks of the wild boars and harpies.
.
The appearance of Prell is just a thread. The wild boar people need to maintain their authority in the Mulgore region, and the harpies need the wild boar people to come forward to guarantee their courage. So in this battle, the two races
The result of a small-scale joint battle is self-evident.
Another factor that can be seen as one of the reasons is that the year in the world of Azeroth is coming to an end. Almost all indigenous races have their own festivals to celebrate the alternation of the old and new years. The upcoming
In the new year, the festive atmosphere that began to permeate also made the entire mine relax a little bit.
And more importantly, even from Prell's point of view, the military quality of the three parties participating in the war is extremely low. However, the Thornback Wildboar can be regarded as a regular army, and the Windfury Harpy may not even be considered a guerrilla.
, but the private guards united to target venture capital companies already have an advantage in terms of military organization.
The actual battle experience almost reflected it. Due to the sudden attack of the quilboar, the ogres did not gather together immediately. Instead, the riverclaw gnolls reacted immediately.
The Thornback Wild Boars relied on the first wave of attacks to break up the River Claw Gnolls' defense and began to fight in the camp. The ogre warriors were strong individually, but they did not form a formation and were soon overwhelmed by the numbers.
The more dominant quilboar army.
Coupled with the appearance of the Windfury Harpies from the south and the Red Stone Boars from the north, Screaming Thornmane's military deployment was quite satisfactory, but it was enough to disrupt the judgment and control of the mine guards.
morale.
Prell and his companions joined the battle. They did not get involved in the melee. Instead, they first observed the situation on the battlefield, and then rushed all the way to the entrance of the mine, dividing the entire mine's employees and guards.
It became two pieces.
Screaming Bristlemane also had a certain degree of military literacy. He immediately sent out a reserve team of 50 wild boars, broke through the battlefield, and came to support the Prell team. Not long after, Hatrash also led a group of
The harpy rushed over.
Of course, Hatrash's goal was not to stop the employees and miners rushing out of the mine. Her goal was the seven or eight male human overseers wearing coconut shell helmets.
The black-winged harpy mistress, with eyes shining brightly, shouted: "Leave those men to us!" Prell was speechless, but he still moved towards a man who had a long sword and a shield.
Humanity threw a "hammer of sanctions".
Hatrash was furious: "Kobold, we have already agreed that all the men belong to us!" Prell could only explain: "Don't worry, mistress, this strong man was just knocked unconscious by me!
"
Haitrash forced back another male human who wanted to rescue with a lightning bolt. He flew over and snatched away the human weapon that was knocked unconscious by the "Hammer of Sanctions". He stretched out his paw and touched it with joy.
Said: "Ah ha, he is still alive after all!"
Then the harpy mistress picked up the poor man without caring about her identity, and threw him to the attendants following her: "Quick, tie him up!"
So a group of excited harpies pounced like wolves and tigers on the group of hired workers, overseers, and engineers gathered at the entrance of the mad cave. The excited roars of the harpies, the roars of the dwarf engineers, and the screams of the goblin supervisors were mixed together.
Prell looked at the panda man Old Chen: "Hey, Old Chen, go and help the harpy?" Old Chen spit out the grass stems on the ground: "I can't do this!"
Rexxar shook his head helplessly: "Follow me, we are fighting now. Even if the Harpy's purpose in joining the war is to steal people, we are comrades now, and we must cooperate with each other on the battlefield!"
From here we can see the difference between Rexxar and Chen Stormstout. Rexxar is a soldier with his own moral persistence. Even according to his own words, his military career is not long. But Rexxar always insists.
One thing is not to deny an entire event based on momentary likes and dislikes.
Just as he followed the orc army to invade the world of Azeroth for the second time, his not-so-long war experience with the human kingdom made him realize that the orc invasion was unjust, and he immediately and decisively broke away from the orcs.
Army.
Prell's military plan for the mines is a major event to help the tauren. In any case, the venture capital company is a troublemaker to the indigenous races of the Kalimdor continent.
The attack on this mine in the Mogore area, as Prell said, is to bring more indigenous races into the team to fight against venture capital companies. The more chaotic the situation becomes, the more likely it is for the tauren.
Words are also more beneficial.
Not to mention the plan that Prell has been planning to expel the goblin forces in the Storm Mine. So although Rexxar also feels that it is ridiculous that the Windfury Harpy takes robbing men as a condition for participating in the war, he will never forget it.
own tasks.
Even from another perspective, the harpies are working hard for the continuation of the race. This may be ridiculous, but after all, it should not be ridiculed or despised.
Contrary to his attitude, Pandaren Chen has a strong sense of morality, or in a sense, he is a purer person than Rexxar.
In Lao Chen's view, war is war, a violent act that must be carried out in order to survive. The purpose of the Windfury Harpy's participation in the war is to rob male humans. In his view, this is an extremely ridiculous child's play.
.
Therefore, from the beginning, Lao Chen was full of dissatisfaction with the harpies. He even felt that since he came to the continent of Kalimdor, this was the most honorless battle he had participated in.
Prell understands this clearly, but he cannot dissuade him. This is because this is a difference in values and perceptions caused by different cultural backgrounds. After all, his partners come from several races and they have to maintain relationships with each other.
, Prell can only "seek common ground while reserving differences".
As the harpies and quilboars broke into the mine, the guards outside the mine were divided and surrounded by the quilboars. In the end, the battle ended with the goblins surrendering.
The manager of the mine was a goblin merchant, Fitzprok. He was hit in the head by a quilboar during the melee. Fortunately, the quilboar saw the goblin's appearance clearly and stopped in time.
Fitzprok had his head wrapped with a handkerchief, which made him look a little funny. He was miserably snatched back by the other goblin supervisors, and then the white flag was raised shortly after.
Prell did not follow him into the mine. He, Belga, Snu and others continued to guard the entrance of the cave. Due to the goblins, humans and dwarf supervisors in the mine, they could not rush out. The ogres and dwarves who guarded the camp
After several of their companions were killed one after another, the jackal guards lacked the organization of a leader and quickly collapsed.
When Haitrash triumphantly led his men and escorted a long group of male humans who were tied together out of the cave entrance, Prell looked at the group of men with a somewhat complicated look, and a little bit of envy.
These poor human guards, engineers, and supervisors still don't know what kind of future they are facing, and they just stumble out dejectedly.
Fitzprok, as the general manager of the entire mine, also held a white flag and was escorted out by the wild boars with a few goblin henchmen, and then recruited a small group of gnolls who were still resisting.
Screaming Thornmane laughed loudly, and he looked at Hatrash: "Do you have any eyes for men from other races?" Hatrash shook his head: "We have enough humans!
"
Both of them can speak Goblin language, so the faces of several humans who understand Goblin language suddenly turned pale. The reputation of harpies is spread all over the continent. Even some men who think that they are physically strong and mentally strong think that harpies are very powerful.
It's his own appetite, but it's just a drunken bragging. If it really happens to him, becoming a prisoner of the harpy is really not a good thing.
Fitzprok said tremblingly: "We have surrendered! I demand that I and my employees get the treatment they deserve, and I demand that a certain ransom be paid to regain our freedom!"
Screaming Thorns rolled his eyes a few times: "No, no, no! You chose to surrender on the battlefield. According to the tradition of our wild boar people, you are our prisoners. As prisoners, you have no right to make any demands.
of!"
Fitzprok suddenly screamed, and a quilboar next to Screaming Thornmane pulled out a spiked stick and stabbed the goblin in the chest. The goblin immediately wisely closed his mouth.
Screaming Thornmane laughed cruelly: "We have many more sacrifices for this year's great sacrifice ceremony! It seems that we don't have to worry about tauren or centaur captives for the time being!"
His words were naturally spoken in his native language, and Prell felt a chill in his back, because he revealed at least one terrifying piece of information: perhaps since the tauren were driven into the Barrens by centaurs, the tauren in the southern Razorfen area
Humans are often privately attacked by wild boars and used as sacrifices to their ancestors.
So all the survivors of the mine were driven into the camp and were closely guarded by the wild boars and harpies. The wild boars and harpies each sent part of their manpower to carefully plunder the tents in the mine and the camp.
All over.
How to divide the accumulated loot caused another quarrel between Screaming Thornmane and Hatrash. They were not arguing about how to divide the spoils in proportion. This was already settled when Prell was the special envoy. What they were arguing about was
, what is the value of these miscellaneous spoils, so as to facilitate and equitably divide them according to the agreed proportions.
Prell did not participate in it. He just felt it was a bit boring. The world was changing, but the indigenous races still had not learned to observe the changes in the world, and were still arguing pointlessly over petty gains.
