Black Wolf Lake is located more than 10 miles to the north and west of Kuangfeng Mine. Gresu built several large and medium-sized smelting furnaces and more than 30 blacksmithing furnaces here.
There are 60 Ironforge dwarf craftsmen, 200 goblin workers, and 300 gnoll apprentices and guards hired, plus 50 ogre guards. It can be said that the protection strength and combat effectiveness here even exceed
Gale Mine.
Due to the Chinese New Year, there are currently only four or five dwarf blacksmiths and more than 20 goblins staying at the Black Wolf Lake. They are actually closed.
The main trade objects of the arsenal on the shores of Black Wolf Lake are the Kokal centaurs in the Barrens and the widely distributed wild boars, and Tiragarde Castle is also one of its important customers.
Last year, Black Wolf Lake even received an order from the Eastern Kingdom. Through the relationship with the venture capital company headquarters, Gresu provided a batch of customized weapons to the Kingdom of Stormwind.
It is precisely because of the excellent performance of the Black Wolf Lake Arsenal that Gresu failed to mine in Mogole twice and was not unduly punished by the company's senior management.
Hilheim was one of the many gnoll guards in Black Wolf Lake. He was stupid and could never learn how to temper iron ingots. He would use his strength to help pull the bellows and add more firewood and coal to the stove.
Therefore, the dwarf blacksmith who led him didn't like him very much, so he was assigned to become a full-time patrol guard.
"Hey, there seemed to be some movement in the mine last night. It looks like they were celebrating a festival!" Hilheim said with a smile to one of the group of jackal patrols who came to take over. It was with him.
The companion who was moved here from Elwynn Forest was his distant cousin.
"Go and have breakfast, my brother Hilheim!" The eldest cousin leaned into Hilheim's ear and whispered: "I hid half a bottle of wine under your bed!" He said to
Hilheim raised his eyebrows.
Hilheim immediately understood, followed the team leader to complete the handover with a smile, and then walked into the tent. He was going to secretly drink a few sips of wine and then have a good sleep.
The dwarves and goblin masters in the camp had all left, and the management was a little lax. It was just a good time to relax during the New Year. He planned to sleep until the afternoon, and then take a leave to visit the gnoll camp not far away.
parents.
Of course, this is just an excuse. He wants to go back and see his fiancée, who is strictly his eldest cousin's sister. Hilheim has been working for the venture capital company for a year and a half, and he also saved
I am going to borrow some money from friends, buy some betrothal gifts from goblin merchants, and settle the marriage issue in the second half of the year.
The culture of the gnolls was deeply influenced by the humans of Stormwind City, and it was also influenced by the goblins. In short, Sylheim felt that the future life was not too bad.
At this time, Prell had already led the army and rushed towards them in a mighty manner. The Gale Wind Mine was more than 10 miles away from Black Wolf Lake, and the Jackal camp was about 10 miles west of Black Wolf Lake.
In other words, the Jackal camp is less than 20 miles northwest of the Gale Mine.
When Gresu selected the location of the gnoll camp, he also considered many factors. The logging team’s base camp is on the northwest cliff lake of the Gale Valley. It is somewhat inconvenient to transport wood from there, and the logging team mainly wants to go to the silt swamp, Tiraga
De Castle provided wood, so he hired gnolls and chose the camp there mainly to meet the needs of Black Wolf Lake.
From the mine to Heilang Lake, there are only sporadic sparse low woods on both sides of the forest road. Large areas of forest trees have been cut down and then transported to the wood processing plant outside Heilang Lake to become buildings.
Materials and fuels.
With the detailed map information provided by the Raptor Druids, coupled with the intelligence collected by Prell himself, this attack on Black Wolf Lake is obviously not possible with a sneak attack or night attack, because the woods around Black Wolf Lake,
It has been almost completely cut down, leaving only a few low, unproductive trees.
The marching speed of the army is not fast, mainly because the newly admitted surrendered jackals and ogres slowed down the marching speed. But Prell did not dare to leave these newly attached gangs in the mine. In fact, now in the mine,
Only the few surrendered goblins were left, and even Fizzix was brought out by him.
An hour and a half later, the army finally reached about two miles to the south of Black Wolf Lake. This was already the edge of the remaining forest. Further north, the forest had been cut down completely.
Ordering the entire army to rest, Prell climbed up a low tree, took a look in the direction of Black Wolf Lake, and then got together with several army leaders.
"Gonzalo, you take the harpies and circle back from the west to the north of the Black Wolf Lake camp; Elder Magatha, please ask the tauren to move to the west of the camp; we kobolds will attack from the south.
.Kouduk, you lead the ogres and follow the tauren; Hayahem, your people follow me!"
Prell issued the combat order, and everyone nodded. "Gonzalo, your mission is to lead the harpies to harass. Don't fight in close quarters. Your mission is to contain. Belga, your shaman's medical team
, located southwest of the camp, with the mage troops following the tauren!"
He glanced at the sky. Although there were no strict four seasons in the Stonetalon Mountains, at the beginning of the new year, the temperature and climate at this time were more like autumn.
"Let's go our separate ways! When we hear the sound of muskets in the south and see the fireworks in the sky, we will break out together!" Prell looked at Magatha, and the old female tauren shaman nodded.
Judging from the scale, Stonehoof Valley has two fewer smelting furnaces and at least twenty forges than Black Wolf Lake. Prell gave a generous condition. Once Black Wolf Lake is occupied, the tauren will
Occupy 40% share.
For this 40% share, Magatha felt that he had to fight for it no matter what! A Stonehoof Valley arsenal provided more than one-third of the equipment for the Stonetalon Mountains and the tauren tribe that migrated to Mulgore.
Weapons, thinking about Black Wolf Lake again, Magatha felt her blood surge.
Among the many intelligent races living in the continent of Kalimdor, the tauren can be said to be the second largest group with iron smelting technology after the night elves. However, the tauren have never been able to occupy a mine with sufficient output.
Compared with their exquisite forging skills, the proportion of iron in the weapons and armor of the tauren is obviously very poor.
In fact, the tauren, who had just experienced the Backwater Oasis War and had not yet fully established themselves in Mulgore, immediately responded to Prell's request and sent troops to assist in the attack on Gale Valley, even at the cost of offending the venture capital company. This is the reason.
The close cooperation with the kobolds can be described as a true win-win situation. Even Kane Bloodhoof, who has always been extremely cautious, rarely made a decision quickly in the face of such a temptation of interests. Of course, the other person he made the decision to
The important reason was that the tauren of Mulgore discovered the mine that had been destroyed by Prell, the wild boars, and the harpies.
The venture capital company stretched its hand too far, and new and old hatreds came together. No matter how honest the tauren was, he finally became angry for a rare moment.
Two thousand troops attacked the camp with less than 400 people. Using the method of a lion fighting a rabbit, Prell decided to take advantage of this best opportunity to occupy the southeastern part of the Gale Valley in one fell swoop, and then use it as a base to gradually attack in the direction of the logging team.
, and finally drove the venture capital company forces out of the Stonetalon Mountains.
He is not as timid as others. Now that Medivh has appeared, it means that Thrall has started a war to liberate the orcs in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom continent. Coupled with the conspiracy of the black dragon Deathwing and his family, the Lich King Neo
Zu is causing trouble in the continent of Northrend, and maybe a series of major events that will affect the future of the entire Azeroth world will happen soon.
Moreover, he remembered that not long after the orcs arrived on the continent of Kalimdor, a major event broke out on Mount Hyjal to resist the invasion of Archimonde's demon army. Prell's current goal has been set on this.
In any case, Thresh Kingdom must participate in the war as a force. Even if it is just to make soy sauce, at least he and the kobold tribe can show their faces in the coalition of humans, night elves and orcs, and get to know some influential figures in the future world, which is also very good.
It is necessary.
Prell positioned the Kingdom of Thresh as the largest arms manufacturer and seller on the continent of Kalimdor, and the first step towards this goal was to seize food from venture capital companies.
No matter how beautifully he said it in front of the mine, Black Wolf Lake is, after all, a venture capital company's industry, built by Gresu. If Prell robs the mine, there is still a little bit of justice.
Wolf Lake has absolutely no justice at all.
But whether it was Prell, Rexxar or Magatha, they all ignored this. The jungle survival laws in the world of Azeroth are far more cruel than the Earth era that Prell is familiar with, and more importantly,
Venture capital companies are greedy and have mined and cut down trees all over the world, which has long aroused public outrage.
Prell doesn't think this behavior will affect the international reputation of Thresh Kingdom in the future. Even if it is damaged, it will always be deliberately ignored and forgotten in the exchange of various interests.
Rexxar had already led the kobold soldiers, with hammer shield soldiers in the front, musketeers in the middle, and grenadiers and hammer shield soldiers in the back, and began to get out of the woods and headed towards the camp by Black Wolf Lake.
Prell did not rush to the forefront of the team, but fell behind. As a retribution paladin, Prell is now moving closer and closer to the role of a healer.
After all, every upgraded kobold soldier is very rare. From the first day when the garrison was rebuilt, Prell's idea of building an army has never been to cultivate elites, but to ensure that the overall strength of the army is balanced and rely on the overall strength.
To fight against all enemies.
When we were more than 300 yards away from the camp, a jackal who was standing on the lookout in a daze finally spotted the sudden appearance of the army, so he hurriedly blew his horn, causing a commotion in the camp.
