He didn't think that his team of more than 200 miners and managers composed of goblins, humans and ogres could defend this small mine.
And he is not stupid. He can see that Gazruin's prestige in the pumice mine far exceeds his. After all, he himself is a newcomer. He has not had time to clear out some of the old people from Gazruin's era and replace them with his own.
Confidant, after all, Gazrouin was suddenly asked to be a lobbyist during the handover with him.
Moreover, Copperplug also realized that if he could not completely stop this attacking army, he would end up with the same fate as Gresu. This time, the venture capital company's treatment of Gresu's family really made them outside the company.
Pai's middle managers were chilled.
So the workers in the pumice mine were gathered together, and under the watch of the kobold and tauren soldiers, they were escorted to the swamp. As for how to deal with the pumice mine, Prell used a simple and crude method: he directly
Order someone to blow up the entrance to the mine!
At present, the Kingdom of Thresh does not have the ability to stretch its hand too far. If it forcibly occupies this mine, it means that the Kingdom must invest a lot of manpower and material resources to prevent the inevitable retaliation from venture capital companies in the future.
Prell returned to the silt swamp again, ordered his men to clean up the camp, and escorted all the prisoners to the Gale Valley. Only this time, he did not use the Ashen Valley, but passed through the south of Waterless Ridge, heading towards
Go in the direction of Glory Outpost.
Prell kept these prisoners because he planned to ask for a ransom from the venture capital company. As for the buildings, machinery, tools, etc. that could not be demolished or taken away in the silt swamps and pumice mines, he ordered them to be destroyed.
Already.
Then Krinig Badbi happily drove several carts of their loot and led his men back to Thorn Ridge. The Witchwing clan also returned to Waterless Ridge happily.
As for the direction of the Apalaye camp, they had already received the news and sent a large convoy to bring back the looted loot.
Standing outside the mud swamp that was completely in ruins, Prell looked behind him. He only left 300 garrison troops, including 50 grenadiers, 100 hammer shield soldiers and 150 musketeers.
There are also twenty shamans and twenty mages.
The rest of the garrison and tauren soldiers have escorted the convoy back. Prell left these soldiers, and of course a hundred cobblers and apprentices to follow, preparing to completely wipe out the scorpions in the valley where the future city of Orgrimmar will be located.
From the silt swamp to the east, through the open grassland, and by the river on the southeast side of the Pumice Mine, Prell led his group of recruits across the pontoon bridge and crossed the Nushui River.
Naturally, this floating bridge was temporarily built a few days ago by hundreds of prisoners under the supervision of soldiers. For this purpose, the soldiers who followed killed at least thirty giant-toothed crocodiles.
Setting foot on this piece of red land again, Prell only felt that everything was the same as when he led Belga, Snu and Lestalen here a few years ago. It still looked like a desolate land, with occasional appearances.
There are low fluffy trees, clumps of cacti, and snakes and scorpions that appear among them.
The ones walking at the front of the team were still the hammer shield soldiers, but the one-handed hammers in their hands were replaced by long wooden poles with forks, which Prell ordered people to rush to make at the wood processing factory outside Black Wolf Town.
.
Once they discovered the whereabouts of a venomous snake, the hammer shield soldiers immediately used long wooden poles to fork it up, hold down the snake's body, and then smashed the snake's head with sticks. Most of the killed snakes were then handed over to the army cooks
, as an extra dish, a small amount was taken by the tauren shaman accompanying the army to study their toxicity.
When encountering a scorpion, it becomes easier. The hammer shield soldiers use long wooden poles to block and restrict the scorpion's movement direction, and use shields to resist the scorpion's attack. The grenadiers who follow behind start throwing stones or fire.
The gunmen aimed for a long time before firing.
These three hundred soldiers are completely new recruits. Prell's purpose or expectation is that even if only 50 of them can be upgraded in this time to eliminate the poisonous scorpions, he will be quite satisfied.
The three types of scorpions encountered along the way are still the same: the hard-armored scorpion with a spotted back, rough skin and thick flesh; the giant pincer scorpion with a pair of huge forelimbs, huge in size; and the green one dragging a barb.
The venomous stinger of the poisonous tail scorpion is extremely poisonous.
Hard-armored scorpions are mainly killed by hammer shield soldiers and musketeers, and giant pincer scorpions are killed by hammer shield soldiers and grenadiers. As for poison-tailed scorpions, Prell requires that you must be careful, and at least one person who knows how to do it must be killed.
The attack can only be launched when an antidote shaman or druid is nearby.
He regarded these recruits as very valuable, and his original intention was to obtain leather for training. The killed scorpions were handed over to the tanners and apprentices who followed them. They used the tools in their hands to peel off the scorpion shells, and then
Gather it and give it to Prell.
With the professional skills of "Skinning" and "Leatherworking" in hand, these peeled scorpion shells are judged by the system as "tattered leather", "rough scorpion shell" or "perfect scorpion shell", while Prell
They can be kneaded into "light skin" according to a certain proportion.
3 parts of "tattered leather" can be kneaded into 1 part of "light leather", 2 parts of "rough scorpion shell" can be kneaded into 1 part of "light leather", and 1 part of "perfect scorpion shell" can be kneaded into 1 part of "light leather"
"Light skin", there is even a chance of making double portions.
"Light leather" can be used to make some small tents, backpacks, etc., which are most in demand and used daily by Thresh Kingdom and Tauren.
Three parts of "light leather" can be kneaded into one part of "medium leather". By kneading medium leather, Prell learned the leathermaking skill to 125 points of proficiency, and then he could no longer increase it.
He also participated in peeling, and his peeling proficiency continued to increase, and in the end he could peel off "light skin" directly.
Regarding this strange ability of their own war chief, the kobold soldiers in the garrison all agreed that this was the omnipotent ability given to the war chief by the Holy Light.
Gonzalo and several tauren raptor druids naturally followed. Prell sent a druid to the south of the Raging Water River and to the direction of Thorn Ridge for continuous surveillance, and asked Gonzalo to circle around the "Austria".
Grima carefully scouted the valley and drew a rough map.
Unlike the city of Orgrimmar that has already been formed in the game, the general area of this valley is somewhat similar, but not exactly the same. After all, it has not been planned or transformed by the orcs and goblins.
"We will gradually advance inward from here. After clearing one area, we will go to the next area!" Prell simply simplified the map drawn by Gonzalo according to the pattern of a dark alley area in the four valleys of Orgrimmar in his memory.
The land was divided into several small areas, pointing to the location of the Valley of Strength, and said to everyone.
Snu, Belga and others all nodded. Prell is always used to planning everything he wants to do in advance, and will make one or two more emergency plans according to the situation. This makes them as subordinates
They are used to acting according to plans and lack their own thinking.
Prell naturally knows that this is not conducive to the growth of his men, but there are some things that he must personally intervene in, otherwise he will not be able to let go at all.
So that night, Prell led his soldiers and camped not far from the east bank of the Nushui River. According to his request, the soldiers and accompanying craftsmen cut down some low trees, built fences, and built two
Rough watchtowers were built, and along the river bank inward, all crocodiles and scorpions were cleared for at least two miles.
It was very quiet in the camp. Kobolds have always been an introverted race. Even in the military camps where they gathered together, there was almost no behavior like gatherings of people to gamble or have boring fights and competitions like the armies of other races.
These new recruits, just like the veterans, looked very restrained. They sat around the campfire in silence, not even speaking loudly.
In this regard, Prell has always wanted to guide the tribesmen to make some changes. For example, he listed guiding soldiers' entertainment as a standard and requirement for evaluating officers, but with little effect, the kobold soldiers still stayed together in silence.
This once made Kane Bloodhoof very envious. He believed that in terms of discipline alone, kobolds can be said to be the best source of soldiers in the world. But Prell was very worried that kobolds are inherently introverted.
If the high-intensity military training and suppressed emotions in war situations continue to accumulate, he will be worried about the psychological problems of these soldiers.
So Prell gently patted Sinu who was sitting next to him: "Let's play one!" Sinu smiled and took out a small bamboo flute from his bag. The bamboo flute was taken from Rolling Rock Canyon.
The bamboo forest was specially planted for the panda man Lao Chen, and the bamboo forest was made by Lao Chen himself.
Si Nu also learned his flute playing skills from Lao Chen. He carefully wiped the bamboo flute, put it to his mouth, and started blowing gently.
The music style is naturally the Pantalia style, with the melodiousness and profoundness of the oriental instruments that Svetle is familiar with. The sound of the flute attracted many nearby kobold soldiers, and they all came over and sat around quietly.
Outside, listen quietly to the beautiful flute sound.
Prell was also reminded of endless memories by this bamboo flute. He looked at Snu and sighed softly, suddenly feeling that it would be great to have a cigarette or a sip of wine!
Belga was very considerate. He took out a wooden pot, unscrewed the stopper, and handed it to Preel. Preel took it and took a sip. The aroma of the wine was fragrant. It was the only thing in Lao Chen's huge wine gourd.
Not much wine left!
Player breathed a long sigh of relief, and when Snoo finished playing, he said: "Let's play a cheerful song, Snoo!" Snoo immediately played a happy tune, and Gonzalo suddenly shook his head.
, because this is exactly the music of the tauren.
"Lestalen, let's dance for everyone!" Prior looked at the little harpy. Lestalen did not refuse, stood up and came to the bonfire, followed the beat of the minor tune, spread her wings and danced
Got up.
Lestalen has a unique status in the Kingdom of Thresh. Prell, Belgar and Snu all regard this cute and special little harpy as their sister, so she has a transcendent status.
But the blood-wrathed harpies headed by Gretelly and Moon Eyes probably had a different idea. They felt that Lestalen should marry Prior. Never mind that Prior was a kobold. He was a great chief favored by the Holy Light.
, has a high status and can be regarded as a good match.
So Gretel secretly led a group of harpies to teach Lestalen various techniques to please men, such as dancing.
