Chapter 91 Going Underground

With careful planning, the dwarves' actions went smoothly, and the goblins at the fortress were easily defeated, but the next action was difficult.

They are not familiar with the interior of the fortress. In comparison, the goblins have been breeding here for a long time, and the dwarves do not actually have a home field advantage.

Once dragged into street fighting, the barricades underground of the Dwarf Fortress are specially designed. As long as the goblins have a little organization, the battle for each street will be fierce. Even if they can capture the fortress, they will have to pay a considerable amount of casualties.

This was unacceptable to both Dwarf and Tang Zhao.

[Then, how about we block the exit first, and then slowly deal with these wild goblins after the threat of the subsequent hobgoblins is removed?]

"Then there will be a time bomb buried in the rear. Those goblins will not give up and will definitely launch a retaliatory attack on us before withdrawing. We still don't know the situation inside the fortress. Maybe they have found the emergency exit.

Then we will be besieged."

[What do you think about this? Let me know. If possible, I will help.]

After all, this was once the territory of the dwarves, and they were also experts in tunnel warfare. The advice of a layman like Tang Zhao was actually of no use.

[We can only annihilate these Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao before the hobgoblins arrive. First, we will consume as much manpower as possible from the goblins here. When their offensive weakens, we will counterattack. 】

It sounds more or less feasible. The dwarves in formation have a strong fighting capacity in the relatively narrow underground, but it is also dangerous. No one knows what the situation is like underground.

After thinking for a while, Tang Zhao nodded in agreement.

【We will try our best to assist and just proceed according to your plan.】

"Thank you. The dwarves will remember the help of the woodland residents. In return, all the hatred against the woodland residents in the Greybeard Kingdom's Book of Hatred will be wiped out."

Bourne took a deep look at Tang Zhao and said gratefully.

It may sound like a perfunctory repayment of "wiping away the past grudges," but in the dwarf concept, this is already a very sincere repayment.

They attach great importance to the concept of hatred, and it can be said that it is an indispensable part of their social life. When conducting various negotiations, dwarves will seriously use past hatred as a bargaining chip.

He didn't quite understand this custom, but Tang Zhao knew that the dwarves treated him very well, so he was naturally willing to take risks and help.

——

The kobolds provided sufficient labor, and a simple fortification was quickly erected.

The main structure is a wall, a mixed structure of wood, stone and rammed earth, about two meters high. Several kobold-made ballistae are set up on it. A trench one and a half meters deep is also dug on the ground in front. Many are inserted into the trench.

Sharp wooden stakes.

Considering that the average height of goblins, kobolds and dwarves is not as high as that of junior high school students, these fortifications are already sufficient.

The entrance and exit of the underground part is a slope about ten meters wide and five meters high. There are no obstacles, the field of view is relatively wide, and the numerical advantage cannot be used. It is undoubtedly a particularly suitable terrain for dwarves.

The goblins' IQs were not that low. They saw the dwarves building fortifications and launched many crazy offensives. However, with the efforts of Tang Zhao and others, these goblins did not climb over the city wall in the end, but fell behind.

Many corpses fled in a hurry.

But Tang Zhao's first priority was actually not security, but moving the corpses and burning the dead goblins for burial.

The main reason is to avoid the breeding of plague. Although there are many druid spellcasters on their side, the level of these spellcasters is not that high and they cannot deal with such a terrifying thing as plague.

Although it was a pity to burn the meat, Tang Zhao had no interest in eating it - he didn't have any strange principles, but no one wanted to eat "talking meat", and he had better options now.

The situation at his camp has gradually stabilized, and a small team of fast-moving people will help transport supplies to and from several places in the forest.

Except for some necessary supplies, the centaurs mainly transport flesh and blood from dragon beasts.

It is normal for a behemoth like Tang Zhao to eat more. The centaur has no objection to this and carries out the transportation work without complaint. After all, Tang Zhao can really play a role on the battlefield, and he has also done well in dividing the spoils before.

Very satisfied with them.

The dragon beast's flesh and blood contains very strong energy, nine times the energy provided by normal creatures. Coupled with its extremely large size, it can almost provide more than one-third of the energy for Tang Zhao's evolution at one time. Hunting it

It can be regarded as a transaction with both risks and rewards.

Speaking of defenses, after the city wall was built, the goblin offensive was obviously much weaker. They were not idiots and would not stupidly bump into ballistas and spikes.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bourne changed his strategy in time, and the small team of goblins and dwarves formed a group to act as a team, and began to penetrate into the underground fortress little by little, and began to consume the goblins' vitality.

They mainly use short bows and crossbow arrows, and the arrows are smeared with the poison secreted by Tang Zhao's poison glands. They will shoot any goblins they find. Once the number of goblins becomes slightly larger, they will quickly retreat to avoid falling into siege.

Tang Zhao's venom has been strengthened several times and can be regarded as the most poisonous in nature. Even if the bugbears are poisoned by him, they will be in danger. If they are bitten and injected with a large amount of poison, unless there is a red dragon

He has a strange beast-like physique, otherwise no creature would be able to survive.
