After walking through rain-soaked wheat fields and deserted villages, the Northern Alliance troops temporarily set up camp in a dilapidated town.
There are no villagers left here, and there are traces of the war everywhere. A large amount of farmland has been abandoned, the villages are deserted, and the towns are dead.
It can be seen that this place was originally a prosperous town with roads extending in all directions and a market in the center of the town. Unfortunately, blizzards and greenskin destroyed this place. Houses that were crushed by heavy snow can be found everywhere. Farmland still remains.
The winter snow does not melt even if the weather gets warmer.
The soldiers dug trenches and erected fences outside the town, and then found some houses in the town that had not been destroyed to rest. Of course, the houses were not enough, so a large number of soldiers pitched their tents outside the town.
Rhodes and the lords walked into the town hall while the camp was being set up. They had to hold a small meeting. Many things needed to be discussed to come up with a solution. The first goal was, not Ironhide, but to help Ironhide find the enemy. Luo
Germany only knows that north of Kislev is the Pit of Hell, which is the home of the Model clan, one of the four major clans of the Skaven.
If Ironhide is lucky enough to find it, there will definitely be the opponent he wants. But the Hell Pit is just a name to Rhodes, and he doesn't know where it is specifically. Moreover, others don't know either. The Ratman's lair is just like that.
Underground, humans know very little about them. The dwarves rarely build tunnels into the ratmen's lairs. In most cases, the ratmen drive tunnels through the dwarves' bunkers... So, at present, it is not possible.
No dwarf knows where the Pit of Hell is.
The town hall was extremely dirty. The attendants and the lords came in at the same time. They cleared a small area for the lords to sit down, and then went to clean other places. But no matter how much they were cleaned, the air
The musty smell still cannot be eliminated.
"Rhode, let me tell you, don't expect to find any rat dens anymore. The rats' burrows are probably very difficult to find. And even if we find it, will Ironhide be willing to go? They will follow us closely.
Maybe they'll kill us first, then the rats. You and I can't guarantee that Grimgor Ironhide will be interested in rats. In fact, they've been killing rats all winter in the south. That's where the Skaven were.
I couldn't find any opponent, so I continued my journey north to Kislev."
As soon as he sat down, Lord Edmund began to talk. He has been supporting Rhodes since the Elengrad rebellion, but in this matter, even he showed doubts. After all, the outside world has no doubts about the rat people.
, very little is known about it, and it is even more difficult to find an exact rat lair. And as Edmund himself said, whether Ironhide is interested in the rat men after finding it is another matter.
"Or lead to the Empire? Force the Empire to join the war?"
Lord Digel of Snow Rock City said.
"One of the alternatives, but it is not an ideal one. The empire must have some understanding of what is happening here, but as the Tsar of Kislev, Katarina did not apply for assistance from the empire. We will
If it is brought into the empire, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the empire. Of course, their dissatisfaction is still a trivial matter. What I worry about is that even the empire cannot completely stop this storm."
"Yes, don't think that the empire is very powerful. Local forces are divided. After all, strong local forces are in the minority, and most of them are in the west. The provinces bordering Kislev in the east are not much better than us."
Lord Bertner echoed.
"I estimate that if we lure the greenskins into the empire, the military strength of the Osterland and Ostermark will not be able to resist the ironskins. At least these two places will be a scorched earth."
Rhodes said that it is not impossible to lure the green skin to the empire. It can only be said that it is done when there is no choice. After all, they are both human forces. It is best to have a way to lure the iron skin to other places.
.Otherwise, with the current relationship between the Empire and Kislev, once the Empire mobilizes its entire country and works so hard to defeat the greenskins, it is estimated that the Empire’s next target will be Kislev. The battle between humans is not
Never had.
"Rod, I have a suggestion, but I really don't want to go back to that place again..."
In the midst of the discussion, the dwarf butcher Bogul said nothing.
"Where are you talking about?"
Rhodes frowned and asked. Before Bogul became a butcher, he was a ranger in Dulong City. He had been to many places that ordinary people had never been. Including the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks and Swamp Monsters in the dark forest, he had found them since.
The value of what he said cannot be ignored.
"The Troll King's lair."
Bogur said it word for word.
After saying that, everyone immediately turned around and stared at the dwarf butcher with solemn expressions. Because compared to the previous options, the troll king in the dwarves' mouth is obviously the best option. If it can really fight Grimgor Ironhide,
If the sword meets.
The other plans are just general directions, and there is no real opponent to speak of. But the Troll King is a powerful individual. According to Ironhide's character, knowing the existence of such a powerful opponent, it is impossible for him not to challenge it.
"You know where that place is, right?"
Rhodes asked.
"Of course, of course I know. That's where I escaped."
Bogul said in a low voice.
"You should be lucky. Apart from me, there is probably no other dwarf in the world who knows where the Troll King's lair is."
he continued.
No one took his words as a joke. Along the way, Bogul's combat effectiveness was obvious to all. He usually rushed to the front after the war started and fought his way out of the chaos many times. Except for being inferior to Rhodes, no one had
There is no way to defeat him. For such a brave butcher, he must have a lot of experience. Moreover, every butcher is not born a butcher. They must have experienced some humiliating experiences that they cannot let go of before becoming a butcher.
"We can lure the orc to the Troll King's lair and let him fight with the Troll King. I can also take revenge for the past."
Bogul said, with anger on his face. Those scenes are still unforgettable when he thinks back to them, those scenes when he was a ranger.
Of course, Rhodes knew that once he encountered the Troll King, Bogul would not be as simple as provoking a fight. But for now, the Troll King was indeed the best choice.
"Where is the Troll King's lair?"
Jiger asked impatiently.
"The north, north of Kislev, the deepest part of the Troll Mountains. Your army cannot reach there. Only a few elite warriors can survive the snow and cold there."
Bogur replied.
"Huh, no matter how harsh the climate is, it can't withstand the soldiers of Winter Winter Castle."
Jiger returned dissatisfied.
"What he said is true. I have been to the Troll Mountains. There is no grass growing there all year round, and there are only endless winds and blizzards. The climate is harsh and not something ordinary people can bear."
