Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Shi Lei was quite calm about this matter, and he didn't feel bad about it.

But at the same time, it also made him more curious about Woking's identity.

In this regard, Woking didn't mean to hide it, and directly stated his identity...

"Actually, there is nothing to hide. I am the youngest son of King Otto Copperforge of Copperforge, and Uncle Bare is my father's younger brother."

Woking's extraordinary identity was within Shi Lei's expectations, but it was a little beyond his expectations.

After all, judging from his previous performance, the power Woking had was not in line with his identity.

Like before, leading the team to track down a small group of greenskin troops in the rear, this kind of thing doesn't seem like something a king's son should do.

It feels like Woking is more like a handyman in this dwarf army.

This is indeed the case. Through Woking's simple self-narration, Shi Lei quickly got a general idea.

Simply put, unlike his elder brother who already holds power in the army, he seems a little too young in the eyes of the elders and even his elder brother. Although he has shown good abilities, he still has not been able to obtain much military power.

His current identity is more like a young general under his uncle Barley, who is responsible for doing some miscellaneous work with limited risks.

Regarding this matter, Wojin was also very upset, thinking that his father, uncle, and elder brother had never given him a chance to prove himself.

Now that Shi Lei asked him about it, Wojin seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and couldn't help but complain to Shi Lei.

In response, Shi Lei just listened quietly.

He had just had some quarrels with the dwarf commander-in-chief, but he didn't intend to discuss the internal affairs of Copperforge again. If this matter was spread out, it might cause them some unnecessary trouble.

At this time, either keep silent or end the topic as soon as possible.

The smooth arrival of the garrison camp gave Shi Lei this opportunity, allowing Wojin to shift his attention to the handover of the two sides' troops.

Their arrival attracted a lot of attention from the dwarves. Although the relevant news had been spread long ago, the dwarf soldiers present still couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

At the same time, they doubted whether these thin human soldiers could resist the attack of the greenskins.

However, with Bare's personal soldiers and Prince Vol'jin, no matter what they thought, the whole handover process went very smoothly.

But considering that they need to extend the defense line, the location of this camp must be adjusted in the future.

Otherwise, this location is a bit far from the defense line of the extended section.

Once attacked by the greenskins, it is very likely that there will be no time to provide support.

With this idea in mind, Shi Lei planned to go to the extended section first. Previously, he mainly relied on the intelligence brought back by the Giant Eagle Knight. Next, he had to confirm it with his own eyes before deploying the defense line.

It is best to take advantage of the truce to quickly deploy the defense line.

Otherwise, once the greenskins' offensive begins, they may not be able to get away.

Woking also followed. It was difficult for Shi Lei to refuse since they were on someone else's land.

With the Giant Eagle Knight leading the way, the group arrived at the place quickly.

With the natural terrain, the Giant Eagle Knight flying in the air can be seen at a glance. With a little defense, this is a pass.

After approaching, even Woking, who came with him, saw it at a glance.

The reason why the dwarves did not set up defense facilities and deploy defenses here is because this location is already on the periphery of Copperforge. If the defense line is to be expanded here, their defense pressure will increase significantly.

In this kind of offensive and defensive battle, once the defense line is breached by the enemy, it is very likely to cause irreversible consequences. This is also the main reason why Bale is unwilling to extend the defense line.

Now this matter has fallen on Shi Lei's head.

Although he agreed straightforwardly just now, it is indeed a troublesome matter to really toss it now.

It is not only a matter of manpower, but also materials are needed.

Using the big trees growing in the area can only be said to be the last resort. It is better to have bricks and stones, or other ready-made building materials.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei also asked Woking.

"Sir Woking, do you have any building materials that can be used here?"

"Leave it to me."

After hearing this, Woking patted his chest and took the matter.

"In addition, if you need labor, the three hundred militias over there can also provide you with help. I can still make the decision on this small matter."

In Woking's view, as long as Da Zhou builds a defense line here, the deployment of these three hundred militias in the rear will be completely unnecessary.

Because they will contain the offensive of the greenskins outside this line of defense.

"Thank you very much!"

This is undoubtedly a good thing. The three hundred militias may not be strong in combat effectiveness, but as a labor force, they are still considerable.

At the same time, the most important thing is that in this situation where war may start at any time, the addition of these three hundred laborers can allow the soldiers of Da Zhou to not waste their physical energy in labor.

Woking obviously knew that things here were a race against time, and after agreeing, he immediately rode on the wild boar to make arrangements.

And Shi Lei further pondered the specific defense deployment around this natural pass.

This is obviously not a project that can be completed in a day or two, so he needs to set up some simple defenses on the periphery that can be quickly arranged...

At this moment, with the accelerated operation of his brain, Shi Lei's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

After thoroughly thinking it through, he told his adjutant all his ideas.

Needless to say, he intends to hand over the matter of this pass to his adjutant.

The importance of this pass lies in the fact that once the greenskin troops pass through here, they can directly enter their Great Zhou along the collapsed passage, posing a threat to their Great Zhou territory.

But leaving this aside, considering the defensive pressure alone, thanks to the terrain formed by the natural pass, the pressure is actually not great.

In comparison, the greater pressure actually comes from the edge defense line they took over from the dwarves.

Before, Barley also said that the greenskins would launch a strong attack on this line of defense from time to time, in order to allow the small forces under their command to take the opportunity to infiltrate, so as to achieve the purpose of disintegrating the defense line of Copperforge from the inside.

Simply put, this is a tactical point for the greenskins, and naturally they have to bear greater risks.

However, Shi Lei did not regret it. He did not forget that the main purpose of bringing his troops here was to intercept the greenskin troops trying to penetrate deeper and completely control the battlefield in the Copperforge!
