In another tent, Merry Dongfeng, who came with the army, smiled softly. The reason why he took the initiative to accompany the army this time was to observe the strength of Prell and Thresh Kingdom up close.
If Prell, the kobold, is not reliable, then he will immediately take Med'an and leave the Kingdom of Thresh, even if it angers Medivh, he doesn't care.
Before leaving, he entrusted Med'an to the mountain giant Koruzik, because he felt that apart from the pandaren Lao Chen, he was the only one of the mountain giants who was trustworthy.
As a senior necromancer who has existed for more than three thousand years, Merry Dongfeng naturally has the means to observe Prell's night attack. At least judging from the pre-war arrangements, the process and results of the battle, Prell is still
Have certain military literacy and ability.
At the canyon sentry at this time, Prell was sitting tiredly in a tent. This tent originally belonged to the team of goblin guards. Now all the debris in the tent has been cleared out and it serves as a temporary casualty treatment point.
More than a dozen wounded people were lying on blankets.
Although Prell had discussed it with Lexa and others and considered all the possible situations that could occur, the battle process was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
Although there was only a small team of goblin guards, after discovering that among the incoming enemies, there were kobolds, harpies and even tauren druids, the goblins showed a tenacious desire to resist, and they fought to the end.
moment.
The reason is very simple when you think about it. During the Battle of the Backwater Oasis, various indigenous races united to launch a massive attack on the increasingly arrogant Centaurs. This made the senior executives of the venture capital companies also vigilant, because they themselves also
Knowing the dirty things he had done, he was afraid that the indigenous races would continue to attack him.
But in the end, the short-sighted Screaming. Thornmane single-handedly broke up the indigenous alliance he initiated. The Thornback clan has now returned to the Agamagog region, and the other wild boar tribes have also returned to their own territories. This makes the senior management of the venture capital company
They breathed a sigh of relief.
But they never let down their vigilance. This evening, they saw soldiers from three races suddenly appearing outside the guard post and attacking themselves. The goblin captain who was responsible for the guard command immediately realized that the hatred of the indigenous races towards them still existed.
So he immediately gave up the idea of ​​surrender. The tauren might have the possibility of negotiation, but what about the kobolds and harpies? They didn't dare to guarantee it, just in case they were completely surrendered like the poor miners in the Mulgore Mine.
The world disappears, that is the most terrifying thing.
Therefore, the goblin guards resisted the most fiercely, and the rest of the gnolls also became crazy. The individual strength of the goblins is not strong, maybe a little stronger than the kobolds, so in order to protect themselves, the goblins always
He is good at using external forces to improve his combat effectiveness.
This goblin team was extremely proficient in using muskets, and their marksmanship was very accurate. At least three harpy spellcasters were killed by the goblins with headshots due to their size and lack of armor protection.
Rael didn't even have time to treat and rescue him.
Moreover, five kobold soldiers were also shot, including two musketeers and three grenadiers, almost all of whom were shot in the head.
Originally, Prell rushed to the front with Rexxar to destroy the beacon pile located in the center of the post on a hillside. When he realized that the goblins' marksmanship was too accurate, he immediately retreated and focused on healing and
Protect your comrades, and at least there will be no more casualties.
And Prell noticed that this goblin team of only 10 people used at least two kinds of muskets, one was a long-range long gun, and the other was a mid-range and short-range shotgun.
The super high hit rate and accuracy of the spear and the range attack of the shotgun really hindered the progress of the night attack team. If it weren't for Pierto Leijiao constantly wearing soul chains and Prell also turning on the armor halo, I'm afraid
The casualty rate is greater.
By the middle of the battle, Prell and Belga had nothing to do, specializing in treating the lightly and seriously injured. And Rexxar gradually approached the goblin team's defensive position, plus the angry Braylin and the fire-fisted warlock.
With his group spell skills, he finally eliminated this small and most threatening goblin team.
As for the jackals, due to the example of the goblins, they also became crazy and bloodthirsty, but in the end they suffered heavy losses in front of many spellcasters and musketeers, and finally chose to surrender.
Braylin Firefist leaned down and pulled out a small green stone from the claw-like hands of a Harpy spellcaster whose head was shot, and her face became even more ugly.
It was a soul stone that could replenish physical strength. This harpy spellcaster was killed by a headshot before he even had time to use the soul stone. This shows the marksmanship of the goblin guards.
Prell also frowned. If the goblins had this kind of marksmanship, he felt that it wouldn't even take too many. Just two hundred goblin musketeers would be enough to completely intercept the attacking army this time.
Prell was also extremely angry, but he quickly calmed down. This meaningless anger would not have any effect.
The first reason why he couldn't wait to attack the Gale Mine was to liberate his people from the pressure and oppression of Gresu; the second reason was that he discovered that the experience he gained could also influence
To ordinary soldiers, this gave him enough confidence.
The third reason is that the productivity of the two mines in Rolling Rock Canyon has reached saturation. Although the kobolds are a highly reproductive race, the previous population of Rolling Rock Canyon was not large, which was mainly limited by their
own economic conditions.
After the Thresh Kingdom was established, in order to ensure a certain degree of food self-sufficiency, some kobolds became full-time farmers under Prell's orders, while some miners turned to blacksmith apprentices, and the kingdom's garrison, although there were only 1,200 people,
But they are all retired professional soldiers.
Previously, there was no permanent professional army in Rolling Rock Canyon. Those responsible for daily patrol security were kobold miners who took turns.
In order to avoid the simplification of the kingdom's economic structure, Prell had to transfer a large number of miners to other occupations, which brought the production capacity of the kobold miners to close to the upper limit.
Therefore, there is another purpose in regaining the Gale Wind Mine, which is to use the more than 3,000 kobolds in the mine to expand their main business of minerals and the development of blacksmithing as a sideline.
In his vision, Stonehoof Valley mainly produces weapons, while the Storm Mine can be used to "rob" the smelting and forging yard of Black Wolf Lake to produce various types of plate armor and protective equipment.
Lexa bent down and got into the tent, took a look at the soldiers who were no longer in danger and were now lightly wounded and resting on blankets. He whispered to Prell: "All the goblins were killed, and the jackals were killed."
19 people were captured, not including the 14 seriously wounded, what should we do with them?"
Prell looked at Braylin Fire Fist, the beautiful high elf warlock, and said viciously: "I need more fresh souls to make soul stones!" Prell nodded, and the beautiful warlock turned and left the tent.
.
Rexxar wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw the harpy spellcaster whose head had been shot and whose body was in horrible condition placed at the entrance of the tent, he finally said nothing.
He didn't like warlocks, but after being in contact with Braylin Fire Fist for so long, the high elf sorceress rarely took action, and she was not violent and cruel. Thinking of the role of the soul stone, he still acquiesced in Prell's decision.
The venture capital company set up two beacon towers at the entrance of the canyon, the first one is inside the guard post, and the second one is on the top of an outermost undulating hillside south of the guard post.
The first beacon tower was raided by Rexxar and Prell, and the goblins had no chance to light it. The second beacon tower was handed over to several tauren druids, who had already taken it in advance.
Got off there.
So the next day, Magatha led the army through the canyon in a mighty manner and met with Prell and his party. The raptor druids had the hardest time. They were divided into three groups, heading towards Cliff Lake and Black Wolf respectively.
Spread out in three directions: the lake and the Gale Mine, and fly for reconnaissance.
The harpies teamed up with the elite tauren hunters, formed a temporary scout team, and continued to spread out in all directions ahead of the large army.
According to the pre-agreed combat plan, for this military operation, the joint army will first capture the Gale Mine, because the venture capital company has the smallest number of guards there.
There are jackal camps and black wolf lakes outside, and Gresu is no longer worried about the kobolds rebelling. It is enough for this group to have Prell, an alien. He feels that it is impossible for the kobolds to have a second kobold who dares to resist him.
.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Kobolds are always used to being submissive. They honestly accepted the fate imposed on them by Gresu. Therefore, in the past six months, Gresu has no longer even exploited the kobolds as much as before.
.
There were raptor druids scouting in the sky, harpies exploring the path in mid-air, and tauren hunters monitoring the outside. The large army followed the foot of the mountain and quietly headed towards the mine.
Prell was naturally very familiar with this road. However, he discovered that with the Jackal camp as the center, the venture capital company had driven the Jackal workers and continued to cut down the mountains to the south. They actually cut down a road with at least two or three meters of land.
The road is ten meters wide.
Looking around, there are rows of wooden piles with only a short section of the ground exposed. An abandoned logging camp is full of discarded debris and excrement. This made the druids who followed express their disgust.
Expression comes.
Even Magatha was surprised by the sight of the destroyed forest. She had only listened to reports from the raptor druids, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she realized how crazy and reckless the venture capital company was destroying the forest.
When there was still a day and a half away from the mine, the army stopped. Prell summoned all the officers and senior officials and said: "I have sent Belga and Snu to secretly sneak back into the mine. We need to know the mine."
The remaining strength of the venture capital company is relatively accurate in the direction of Black Wolf Lake. Our combat goal is not high, as long as we take back this piece of land!"
He drew a semicircle on the detailed map of Storm Valley with his hand, and he drew in the southeastern part of Storm Valley, including the Gnoll Camp and Black Wolf Lake.
