Author: Arion's Dolphins

[In the past two days, I have basically explored the surrounding situation. There are indeed abandoned dwarf fortresses around, but there are goblins inside. Obviously we are short of manpower, so we can only choose one of them. This choice is still to hand over

Let you dwarves do it yourself. I don’t understand your fortress and city defense plans, so just contribute.]

Tang Zhao also had some plans of his own in his mind, but he would not say it out at this time. It would not be too late to wait until the dwarves made a decision before considering it.

In the past few days when he was searching the ruins, the frequency of goblin attacks was getting higher and higher, which meant that they were getting closer to their main force. The dwarves couldn't afford to delay them. If they didn't make a decision, they might be surrounded and they wouldn't be able to run away.

Unable to escape, he could only be trapped to death.

As expected, after briefly chatting with Tang Zhao, Bourne called a group of old dwarfs with long beards, gesticulating in front of an ancient sheepskin map, and talking about something very fast.

The common language specially used in the conversation was obviously to accommodate Tang Zhao. The dwarf did not shy away from it and discussed it openly. He would know it next anyway.

Tang Zhao was also happy about this. He had such a thing as language, and the fewer people knew about it, the better, because this special ability might get him burned in the future.

Mages in this world have an extremely strong desire to study certain things. Tang Zhao's abilities are so fantastic that he will be targeted at any time. He doesn't want to be a guinea pig.

After a brief but very intense discussion, the dwarves finally settled on a preliminary goal.

"The map we have is not a military map, and the records of many things are inevitably incomplete. However, it is certain that Holland has the strongest defenses among them, and also has the largest number of underground armories. In addition, the terrain there is relatively narrow, making it difficult for large troops to

Expand it to facilitate defense. Overall, it is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for us now."

The discussion process was of course difficult, and there were naturally disagreements, but generally speaking, most dwarves supported the choice of this dwarf stronghold named Horland.

According to dwarven literature, this is the last abandoned dwarf fortress near Insura, and its history can be traced back thousands of years.

From Tang Zhao's perspective, this is an astronomical figure, but dwarves are a long-lived race after all. Normally they can live three to four hundred years, and some highly respected living ancestors can live six to seven hundred years, and even longer.

There are many examples in dwarven history.

After the target of the operation was confirmed, the next step was to make detailed plans. Tang Zhao was mainly a spectator. He was not able to express too many opinions on the military aspect, which would make him an amateur commanding an expert, so he quietly waited for the task to be assigned to him.

The final result was that he was responsible for the defense of the camp and was preparing to be covered by others later when the dwarves migrated into the fortress.

It sounds like a hard job, and it is, but there is no easy job for him to be responsible for.

Either guard the camp, or go to the ruins of the dwarf fortress and fight in the streets and tunnels with the goblins. In comparison, the former is more suitable for him.

Most of the dwarves stay in the camp. Correspondingly, the dwarves will put most of their strength in the camp. Capturing the abandoned dwarf city is a more dangerous task.

After finalizing the plan, the dwarves began to busy counting people and preparing supplies. Tang Zhao was not idle during this time and was preparing to make a trip to the Unicorn Lorraine.

——

The forest where Lorraine lives has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before - there are a large number of centaurs patrolling the periphery of the forest, and there are also a small number of tree spirits and tree people standing ready, looking like they are ready at any time.

The posture of going out to fight.

The unicorn had informed these creatures in advance. Although they looked shocked when they saw Tang Zhao, they did not take direct action against him, and allowed him to move quickly through the forest.

Tang Zhao found the unicorn Lorraine at his old place under the waterfall. At this time, he was wearing a thick and gorgeous armor, white and gold, extremely gorgeously decorated, with complicated magic incantations etched on it.

Products.

[I’m glad to see that you are ready for war, but can you explain the current situation to me first? I also have some things I want to discuss with you.]

[Of course, according to my early experience, the more urgent the situation, the more intelligence and information related work must be done. 】

Lorraine stood up, his heavy horse armor jingling, and he walked slowly to Tang Zhao. Fairy dust flew out of the clay pot beside him, gradually forming a map.

The two sides spent some time exchanging information, and overall there was quite a lot of good news.

Shortly after that, Lorraine felt a little powerless and decided to recruit other woodland residents to help him fight the goblins.

The unicorn already has a very high prestige among the forest residents, so it is not difficult for him to recruit manpower to protect the forest, but what is rare is that he also called many centaurs to help.

Strictly speaking, centaurs are not forest dwellers, but nomads who have traveled all over the continent. Occasionally, a small number of centaurs will choose to break away from the tribe and become members of a fixed settlement, but after all, they are only a minority.

Looking at this posture, it seems that an entire centaur tribe has been dragged over. It is not clear how Lorraine did it, but it is probably related to his previous glorious deeds.
