Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Looking at his nephew running back and forth, Bare was speechless.

How could he look like a king's son? Those who didn't know him would think he was just an errand boy!

However, considering his previous affairs, it was not a bad thing to have Volkin mediate.

Bare felt that Shi Lei's speculation was probably correct.

If the greenskins wanted to launch a night attack, it was basically certain that they were targeting the Great Zhou troops who did not have night vision.

Following this line of thought, the greenskins would inevitably launch a strong attack on them, and Shi Lei's wave could be said to be prophetic.

After learning about Shi Lei's request from Volkin, Bare's first reaction was whether he could take this opportunity to talk to the other party about gunpowder?

However, this idea was just raised and was dispelled by Bare himself.

Although they, the dwarves, have a bad temper, they also have to save face.

From a moral point of view, the Great Zhou came to support their Copperforge.

The Da Zhou troops are guarding the defense line of their Tonglubao. There is no reason to say such things. Their Da Zhou troops have to pay for their efforts. This is unreasonable no matter where they are!

Under normal circumstances, let alone city defense materials, even if the Da Zhou troops ask them to solve the problem of food and grass for the soldiers in Tonglubao, it is a reasonable request.

The other party did not ask them to solve the problem of food and grass, and if he now uses the city defense materials to negotiate with Da Zhou, it would be a bit shameless.

At that time, it would be considered light if they did not negotiate Chengdu. The fear is that they will fall out with Da Zhou and the other party will withdraw directly.

Before this battle, Bale may not think so, but after this battle, Da Zhou has already demonstrated its strength.

Now according to the situation on the Tonglubao side, although they can still hold on in a defensive battle, they are afraid that they will be exhausted to death by the greenskins. Without strong enough support, it is difficult for them to reverse the situation.

The only thing they can do is to continue to consume the greenskins in order to have variables in this process.

Obviously, the coalition forces could not be counted on. The appearance of Da Zhou at this time seemed to have become that variable.

Bale did not believe that the other side had only this little force. If it were him, he would not be able to send all his troops to support other forces right away.

What they have to do now is to maintain a good alliance with Da Zhou and a united front. As long as Da Zhou is willing to continue to increase its troops, their chances of winning will increase!

Thinking of this, Bale also made a quick decision and directly transferred a batch of city defense materials to Da Zhou, including a cart specially used for throwing wooden slings.

Although this thing is simple, it is easy to use. On the mountain battlefield in front of us, it is a killer!

After sending these equipment over, Wo Jin explained to them how to use it, but their Da Zhou’s technical strength is not low, not to mention that this cart does not have much technical content in their view. To put it bluntly, it is just a lever under the car, and then a linkage mechanism.

They didn’t have this kind of equipment before in Da Zhou, and it was purely useless.

If they need it, designs like this don't even need samples. Just tell the equipment department of Da Zhou, and they can get it done on the same day if they have the manpower.

After the equipment was in place, Shi Lei quickly arranged it, and at the same time, he did not forget to check the situation at the extension section.

They just arrived yesterday. The 300 dwarf militiamen brought by Vol'jin gave them sufficient labor, but with such a short time, they could only build some infrastructure.

In fact, this is the result of their overnight rush.

Shi Lei was not particularly worried about the defense line, but the situation at the extension section undoubtedly made him feel pressured.

Once attacked by the greenskins at night, the pressure here would undoubtedly be great because of the incomplete defense facilities and the impact of vision.

"Colonel Drogo, you will stay here with the Centaur Cavalry tonight, just in case."

Although the mountain environment will have a certain impact on the Centaur Cavalry's mobility, Centaur has night vision after all, and with Drogo's strength at the Hundred Refining Realm level, if something really happens, he can only rely on him to turn the tide.

After carefully giving instructions, Shi Lei planned to take a break before it got dark.

As a commander, he also had to rest himself.

Closing his eyes, Shi Lei told himself not to think about the night, empty his mind, and let his spirit get enough rest.

For them, resting well is also a job in itself.

With his eyes closed, Shi Lei fell asleep quickly until the smell of food wafted in the camp, which woke him up.

Considering the battle at night, he deliberately asked the kitchen team to prepare dinner an hour earlier, so that the soldiers could eat in advance, so that they would have more time to digest the food in their stomachs, so as not to affect the combat status at that time.

It gets dark very early in winter. It was already dark when we were having dinner.

Torches and braziers were lit in various camps along the entire defense line of Copperforge to provide vision.

Although the dwarves have night vision, their night vision obviously varies. The dwarves in this area are not particularly good, and the firelight can make them see more clearly.

Not to mention the Great Zhou. At this moment, the soldiers of the Great Zhou are eager to light up every piece of land! Now it depends on when the greenskins will launch an offensive!

The night deepened, time passed by, but the greenskins did not move, which made many soldiers begin to doubt whether they were worrying too much.

However, Shi Lei and Balai, as the commanders-in-chief, remained calm and maintained sufficient patience.

Because they knew that if they wanted to launch a night attack, the second half of the night would be a better choice than the first half of the night.

Whether the attacked party could guess the time or not, this would further wear down the opponent's energy and will.

Shi Lei did not let all the soldiers wake up to prepare for battle, but let them rest in a rotating mode.

The mountain in the middle of the night in winter is colder than the foot of the mountain. The whistling wind makes a "woohoo" sound, like a ghost crying. The temperature drops directly to more than ten degrees below zero, constantly torturing the will of the soldiers on duty.

The winter in the plain fortress is not as cold as the mountain here. This severe cold makes the soldiers of the Great Zhou wrapped in thick winter clothes feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Shi Lei asked the kitchen staff to boil ginger soup in advance to help the soldiers resist the cold.

Time quietly came to the late night. As time passed, many soldiers even began to feel sleepy. At this time, a rapid alarm bell made Shi Lei, who was resting in the tent, suddenly open his eyes.

At the same time, the sentry's roar came from the protective wall in the distance...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
