Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid
Chapter 52: Wool and Encounter
Walking on the snow of Khaz Modan, there was a crackling sound under the feet, and the team left dense footprints on the snowfield.
Li De's face was still a little hot, and he was very glad that the dwarf's logistics force was cleaned up so quickly. Although the conversation with Magni, Kurdran and the others was pleasant, the drinking was really unbearable.
The dwarves drink too much, and the oak wine glasses they use are like a small barrel in Li De's hands. The two of them drank cup after cup of spirits that could be ignited, just like drinking water.
Li De could only accompany him in small mouths, but even this was called Li De slightly drunk.
However, the two of them became more and more energetic. At the same time as Li De set off, Kurdran also rode on the griffin to inform Lothar of the news here.
Seeing the red-faced Kurdran riding on the Griffin, Li De couldn't help but think: This guy should be considered drunk driving, right?
The animals used by the dwarf caravan are long-haired argali. These sturdy argalis are about the size of a cow, and their thick long hair looks warm.
In Li De's eyes, where is the hair on these long-haired argali? Clearly a shiny gold coin!
Before Li De set off from Hanhai Duhu, the inventors of the engineering school had already made plans for the development of the Jenny machine. Therefore, the future Hanhai Duhu urgently needs a large amount of raw materials.
It is impossible to simply purchase raw materials from Kezan. If you want to develop, Hanhai Duhu cannot walk on one leg.
At this moment, isn't what Li De sees in front of him the highest quality long-staple raw materials? Dwarves have high-quality wool, and Tanaris has high-quality ore. How many people will be benefited if a solid trade channel can be established between the two?
Thinking of this, Li De is not only hot in his eyes, but also in his heart. Take the initiative to chat with the dwarf captain who is driving the car, and ask questions about how to feed the long-haired argali.
The dwarf captain was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that the human commander would be interested in how to raise sheep. He immediately invited Li De to sit on the chariot with him, drinking wine from the skin and talking with great interest.
"This sheep is actually very easy to raise. The goats on the snowfield can endure hardship very much. Any grass roots and tubers can be eaten as long as it can gnaw.
Their climbing ability is also very strong, and they can go up the mountain to find food when they are released during the day.
There is one kind that pulls the cart, and there is another kind that is stronger than it. That kind of sheep can be used as a mount for warriors. Of course, they are more precious than those who pull the cart. "
Li De shook his head again and again after hearing this, this kind of domestication mode is too extensive. Presumably there won't be too many domesticated dwarves, and there's a lot left for the army. If this model is followed, it may be difficult to stabilize the supply.
However, this did not dampen Li De's enthusiasm, although he would encounter various problems. But if you want to succeed, you have to keep solving problems.
At this moment, Li De noticed the Knicks who were focusing on his side with a pair of big eyes.
"Knicks, do you have any ideas?"
Li De asked the Knicks with some anticipation, with a bit of a test mentality. Although Nix belongs to the military department in the engineering school, they are not a system with Bigowitz. But goblins are an excellent business race, and Li De didn't believe that he didn't find any business opportunities here.
"Duhu, these argali...their wool is very valuable!"
Reed was very satisfied with the Knicks' words, and motioned for the other party to continue.
"These high-quality long fibers are a good combustion accelerant. Adding them to gunpowder, as long as the ratio is appropriate, will definitely increase the explosive power significantly!"
"..."
Li De looked at this guy helplessly, and at the same time cursed himself: Even a goblin, you can't point at a guy whose brain is full of explosives and has a business mindset.
However, what the Knicks proposed was also a good idea, and Reed immediately invited the Knicks into the conversation.
Just as a few people were talking, the transport team approached a large piece of lush woodland, and suddenly there was a fierce shouting and killing from the woods ahead!
Those that can grow in the snowfield are tall coniferous forests, and many enemies can be hidden in the dense forest. At this time, there was a sound of killing in the woods, and everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
"In front is the garrison of the great artisan Mekkatorque! How can there be an enemy?!"
The dwarf captain changed his previous comfort, jumped out of the car with a bang, and pulled his warhammer and shotgun from the car.
Although many people stereotyped that hunters lack melee combat ability, in fact, whether it is a shotgun with a strong recoil or a long bow and a hard crossbow, you need superhuman arm strength to master it.
Perhaps only bows and arrows like elves that use magic power do not need strong arms. That's why elven rangers can have a large number of women, unlike other races, shooters are not capable of strong men.
While the dwarf reacted, Li De also gave instructions.
"The whole army is on alert! Protect the logistics convoy! Mattinglei, Angegagu, you take a team to scout, what's going on in the woods!"
Ang Gagu and Martin Lei led a dozen people into the forest to check, and at the same time, the dwarves also sent a few scouts.
It is hard for those who have never been to the snowfields to imagine what the smoky snow powder looks like when the wind blows, as if there is a thick fog. In addition, the trees are scattered in the dense forest, and it is impossible to see it from outside the forest. Clear the situation inside.
After Madinglei and the dwarf scout went around a few trees, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Troll hunters have unique marking methods. Even if they are unfamiliar, they can walk out of the jungle with shamanic magic. That's why Li De rest assured to let Ange Gaku and the others go to reconnaissance. Of course, even so, Ange Gaku and the others didn't go too deep.
Because they had just walked a few hundred meters, they saw what happened in the forest from a distance.
"Sir, it's a group of orcs fighting the gnomes!"
After exiting the forest, Martin Lei reported to Li De.
"That's right, after those orcs were repelled, the chief and the great craftsmen knew that they would not give up! When they attacked here, they must be planning to cut off our supply route!"
The dwarf captain shouted angrily, in fact, what he said was not right.
For the orc commander Kilrogg Deadeye, who was staying at Khaz Modan, he did plan to cut off the supply route and enter the Burning Steppe to attack Lothar from the rear, so as to provide Orgrim with a correct living space;
No, this is actually an encounter, Kilrogg planned but hadn't put it into action. It is entirely because the Great Craftsman Mekkatorque is stationed here, breaking through Kilrogg and hiding here!
The Bloodring clan, led by Kilrogg Deadeye, are orcs living in the woodlands in their world. In all fairness they are not suitable for fighting on the snow field.
But Orgrim reluctantly left them here at the beginning, one is because the Blood Ring clan is strong in combat, and the other is that Kilrogg is loyal enough to the tribe to keep him behind.
No way, apart from his own Blackrock clan, Orgrim trusts the blood ring clan the most, so the warchief can't keep his own troops behind, right?
Kilrogg is indeed worthy of Orgrim's trust. During the few months he was stationed in Khaz Modan, he could be said to have been pressing down on the dwarves and gnomes until Lothar led his troops into Khazmo. Dan Cai changed the pattern.
Fighting away on the snowy terrain, which they are not good at~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Blood Ring Clan can still maintain such a victory, its combat effectiveness is evident.
After losing to Lothar and the coalition of dwarves and gnomes, the remnants of the blood ring retreated here because of the judgment of the battle situation. Orgrim, who had retreated to this place from the north at that time, gave Kilrogg an order to continue to hold on here to contain the dwarves and gnomes.
Kilrogg, who turned from offense to defense, naturally wanted to find the most suitable terrain for the Blood Ring Clan. He looked around the entire Khaz Modan Snowfield, and only this taiga was the most suitable for the Blood Ring Clan to station.
It's a pity that Kilroger missed one thing. It is adjacent to the main traffic road between the two places, how could the opponent not pay attention to this place?
The gnome master craftsman Mekkatorque recognized the importance of this place and led his team to defend it, but he didn't want to meet in the jungle.
"The troll army, leave 200 people to guard the baggage, and the others will follow me into the forest to attack the orc army!"
Li De immediately ordered that he kept two-thirds of the troll soldiers here because the sand trolls were really not good at fighting in the snow. The 100 people he took away were mainly hunters and shamans. They can give soldiers a good support.
The Knicks also wore a combat backpack. This guy stuck out his tongue and licked his lips that were chapped by the cold wind, rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Hee hee, my explosives are already thirsty."
If it were elsewhere, Li De would definitely leave him out of the battle sequence without hesitation. Fires must be prevented in the forest. Explosives are likely to kill everyone. But here is the snowfield, so there is no need to be overly concerned about these issues, not to mention the gnomes in the woodlands, who are also proficient in engineering weapons.
"Get ready, let's go!"
