In the kobold position, Prell brought 500 soldiers, all of whom were regular soldiers. When the indigenous coalition forces began to gather, Belga and Snu also brought more than 100 auxiliary soldiers, who were mainly responsible for cooking, logistics and cleaning.
Wait.
After discovering that the kobolds performed far beyond their imagination and were not as weak as expected, the centaur army wisely chose to retreat. As a result, the highly nervous soldiers in the kobold position relaxed.
The battle had lasted for more than four hours, and the cooks had already prepared a meal, which was rye flatbread and gopher bacon, just to satisfy the hunger.
Prell and Lexa sat together, eating pie and studying tactics for the next period of time. In order to ensure the priority supply of bullets, Prell did not make many high-potency grenades, and in order to
This allowed the grenadiers to have the most intuitive feeling for the power of hand mines, and they also conducted several live-fire drills, which consumed part of their inventory.
Now that all the grenades they carried have been used up, if the centaurs continue to attack the kobold position, they will have to rely on the musketeers' long-range blocking, and may even have to start hand-to-hand combat.
The biggest reason for the shortage of ammunition supply is the lack of tin ore and wool. The wool may be traded with the clans that have placed orders for weapons, but tin ore is a big problem. The two mines in Rolling Rock Canyon do not produce any.
This thing is the same in the Storm Mine, and there is almost no miner profession in other races. This gives Prell a headache.
The current situation on the entire battlefield is that the Thornback Clan is still fighting the Centaur head-on, pulling the Thorn Ridge Steel-maned Wild Boars on the left, and the Witchwing Clan Harpies on the right have also invested some troops.
On the contrary, it was very quiet in front of the kobold position. Prell sent soldiers to build a "Jingguan" and repair the horse trap. The centaurs only sent a few small teams of scouts to observe from a distance.
Due to the habits of centaurs, they would take away their injured companions as much as possible when retreating, and they would also take away the bodies of their dead companions as much as possible. Therefore, Belga's inventory at the front line only found less than 200 centaurs.
Corpses. According to the estimates of the tauren instructors, the Centaur's losses in this battle were about 400. The specific casualty ratio is difficult to determine.
Prell was also directly upgraded to level 35 and a half, but this was not what excited him the most. What made him most happy was that the ordinary soldiers within his sphere of influence also gained promotion, which gave Prell
You have too much confidence.
Nearly an hour later, all the kobolds had finished their rest and were busy working on fortifications. A desolate horn sounded in the distance, and the centaurs withdrew.
So the wild boars also blew their horns, and both sides retreated to their own formations. Gonzalo and Swift Wind originally transformed into an eagle and observed in mid-air, but soon lost interest because he felt that the centaurs and wild boars were not as good at tactics.
Too bad.
The Centaur's performance at the beginning was indeed very impressive. They tried to tear apart the indigenous coalition's front line through continuous shooting. However, the thornback wild boars focused on defense. Seeing that this was not possible, the centaur moved from the flank to attack, but was beaten back by the kobolds.
.
So on the frontal battlefield, the centaur archers were also tired. After all, it was impossible to draw their bows and shoot for several hours continuously, so the battle scene slowly turned into close contact between soldiers from both sides, and finally the caster troops were put in to fight each other in the middle distance.
Lose spells.
Centaur spellcasters have an advantage, that is, the "Wind Chasers" among them can use the group attack spell "Thunderstorm", but the casting distance of "Thunderstorm" is not far enough. When casting spells at close range, there must be
More soldiers guarded the surrounding area.
In this way, the position of "Wind Chaser" could not be more conspicuous. After the Witch Wing clan entered the battle, most of their spell casters were wind spells. Although the damage was not high, the spell effect of "Blowing Wind Flow" was
It performed well in destroying formations, so the casters on both sides barely reached a tie.
In the end, the Centaurs couldn't afford the expense and took the initiative to retreat. As the main force of the resistance, the Thornback clan suffered heavy losses and chose to call a truce.
Before Prell could go to the quilboar camp in Thorn Ridge to question his guilt, Screaming Bristlemane led a group of quilboars, including the Witchwing Harpy Matron, Cairne Bloodhoof and other leaders, and enthusiastically
Arriving at the kobold camp.
Screaming and Thornmane had been paying close attention to the performance on the battlefield today and sent people to observe and report back. He originally thought that the so-called "Kingdom of Thresh" was just a group of kobolds attached to the tauren for their own entertainment.
When Prell said that he could provide weapons to the coalition forces, he just felt that this so-called "Kobold Chief" was a puppet introduced by the Tauren, who just wanted to do business with the indigenous races.
So he deliberately placed the kobolds on the outermost side of the left wing. He thought that since they were all tauren troops anyway, they could just be placed on the outermost side to block the centaurs. Even if they were to break through, they would not affect the main position, and they could also consume some of the tauren and tauren.
The strength of their vassal race.
But the performance of the kobolds far exceeded all the expectations of both warring parties. It can even be said that the performance of the kobold soldiers was extremely impressive.
Therefore, after seeing Prell, Klinik Badbi was the first to stand up and compliment him: "Dear Chief, regarding the weapons sales agreement we signed earlier, could you please make a small request? We, the Steel-maned Wild Boars,
We also need a batch of muskets and explosive things. If you need anything, just ask!"
Prell had a serious face, thinking that if you Steelmane Wild Boars hadn't suddenly moved to the right, how could the Centaurs have broken through my first trench so quickly? Before he had time to get angry, he screamed. Thornmane was shrewd and immediately
Said: "Steelmane came from Thorn Ridge
There are not many soldiers, and the centaur attack is too powerful, so they have to support me according to my request. This is definitely not because we quilboars were deliberately sold to the centaurs by the kobold allies. I hope the warchief can forgive me! It was my lack of consideration.
I want you to apologize!"
Prell looked at Screaming Thornmane in surprise. The chief of the Thornback clan was willing to lose face, but when he thought about it carefully, he just saw the fighting power of the kobolds and hoped to obtain muskets and grenades from the Thresh Kingdom.
.
Kane Bloodhoof is a real person. From the perspective and standpoint of all the clan leaders present, he most hopes that all the indigenous races will unite. After all, the tauren cannot make more enemies.
So this real Tauren chief also stood up and said: "Chief Prell, it was the wild boar allies who contained the Centaur offensive today. I will send some more Tauren soldiers to support them."
Sylvia Xueyu also flapped her wings: "Our Witch Wing clan will also send some soldiers to follow your command, respected chief!"
Prell was speechless for a moment and cursed "two sticks" in his mind. His original intention was to take the opportunity to get angry at Klinik Badnose, so as to gain more say in the indigenous coalition, otherwise Screaming Thorns would...
Boar Nose also thinks that kobolds are just vassals of tauren and are dispensable.
He looked at Klinik Badnose seriously: "We kobolds and goblins alike regard contracts as sacred. Since we have signed an agreement with you, we will provide you with weapons as agreed. But don't even think about muskets.
, the cost is high, the raw materials are scarce, we have not fully installed it ourselves, and we have no plans to sell it to others for the time being!”
He took out a grenade: "As for this explosive thing, I'm sorry, only I can make this thing, and what you see is the last one we have left."
Screaming Thornmane was a little disappointed. He had re-examined Prell's status and believed that he could no longer regard the kobolds as vassals of the tauren. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he had to do so.
"So, what materials do you need? We wild boar people are willing to provide as much as possible. We only hope to obtain a batch of such weapons in the future!" Screaming Thorns said.
"Tin ore, saltpeter, fine pine wood, all kinds of leather, wool, magnets, grindstones, fluxes, cat's eye, malachite, sapphire...!" Prell started talking and talked about a lot of materials.
Screaming Bristlemane's face suddenly fell, and Klinik Badnose had almost the same expression. They listened for a long time, and found that the only thing they could provide was all kinds of leather and wool, and other ores, gems, and materials, they all
Does not have any production capacity.
So the wild boar people retreated to the next best thing and asked Prell to take them to see the horse traps and trenches again. Although they felt that the trenches were used with muskets, the horse traps were indeed a good arrangement.
In front of the first trench, all the leaders stood in admiration at the "Jingguan" where more than two hundred centaur heads were piled up.
Prell also continued to talk nonsense: "This is the war tradition of our kobolds. After defeating the enemy, we cut off their heads and pile them into hills to deter the enemy and boost morale!"
He pointed at the busy kobold soldiers in the distance: "As for the centaur corpses, we will dig holes and bury them, and I also recommend that you do this when cleaning the battlefield! In the dry season of the Barrens, so many corpses will cause
It’s a plague! If you don’t want the plague to spread throughout the land, you’d better do this!”
As soon as he heard about the plague, he looked at those ugly and dirty centaur heads and screamed. Thornmane was the first to nod his head. He decided to pile up the heads of the killed centaurs when he went back to show off.
The quilboar's exploits.
As for whether this was the tradition of the kobolds, he didn't believe it! He had never heard of the kobolds' martial prowess, but he still thought it was Prell's whim.
Prell didn't want to leave food for these leaders. Screaming. Thornmane was also very discerning and quickly returned to the base camp. He was going to ask his subordinates to dig horse traps according to the settings of the kobolds. As for the trenches, he considered
After a while, I was still ready to give up imitating and learning.
Kane Bloodhoof and Sylvia Bloodfeather were left behind. Faced with these two sincere allies, Prell did not lie about them, but told them about the raw materials needed to make grenades.
There is nothing the tauren and harpies can do about it. If the kobolds, the best miners in Kalimdor, can't find tin ore, where will they find it?
After briefly discussing the coordination arrangements for the next battle, Kane Bloodhoof and Sylvia Bloodfeather left. Late at night, a sneaky man appeared outside Prell's tent.
It was Georod Zeborg from Razor Hill. This wild boar man wore a black cloak, wrapping his pig nose tightly, and was escorted over by two kobold soldiers.
Seeing Zazai, Prell laughed. It can be said that this alliance of indigenous forces was first instigated by the wild boar man in front of him. However, Razor Ridge was too far away from here, so they did not send soldiers to participate in the battle.
"I know where there is tin ore!" Georod Zaban's first words aroused Prell's great interest.
