Chapter 855 Dwarves and Greenskins
Shi Lei also learned the name of "greenskin" through the "Eye of Insight". Just like those dwarves, although some dwarves cannot be seen by the "Eye of Insight", there are always a few greenskins that can be seen.
In this process, Shi Lei was very surprised to find that the racial name of these greenskins is really called "greenskins".
Through the two words "greenskin" and "dwarves", Woking further confirmed that the humans here did know something about them.
At this moment, facing Shi Lei's question, he did not feel strange. He just raised his hand quickly and pointed to the towering rock wall in the distance.
"We come from Copperforge on the rock wall and have been fighting a long war with the greenskins."
"Some time ago, a heavy rain caused a landslide, which accidentally opened a road that was not considered a road in a place where there was no road originally."
Woking said this with a subtle tone, as if he didn't know how to describe it.
"Normal troops cannot pass that road, but the greenskins can cross it with their strong physical fitness."
"We noticed the actions of the greenskins and were worried that they would attack from behind, so I brought a troop here to solve the hidden danger."
At this point, Woking paused.
"As soon as we arrived here, we found traces of other civilizations, but unfortunately we came too late. The human city outside has been bloodbathed by the greenskins."
"In order to get rid of the greenskin troops, we followed the traces and found you fighting with the greenskins here."
Obviously, Woking didn't need to say much about what happened afterwards, Shi Lei basically knew it.
During this process, Woking could actually feel the faint vigilance from the other party, so he explained again...
"Don't worry, we have no ill will towards you, otherwise we wouldn't need to send troops to rescue you, those greenskins are our enemies."
The dwarves are different from those greenskins, they are not war maniacs.
If possible, they prefer to stay in Copperforge, studying ore or forging skills.
The population of their dwarves is not too large, and Copperforge is enough for them to survive, which makes them not interested in plundering and expanding outward, and the limited population does not allow it.
But as a dwarf who has lived for more than 200 years, Woking obviously has nothing to do with the word "naive".
As early as when he came down, he had already observed the environment here.
Just as he said, they live in Copperforge on the rock wall, and the rock wall facing this side is steep and vertical, which basically means that the human country under the rock wall cannot directly approach them along the rock wall, and naturally cannot pose a threat to them.
With this as a premise, Woking naturally does not mind showing some goodwill to the humans in front of him. More friends and less trouble are always a good thing.
After several conversations, the atmosphere between them has obviously improved. Seeing this, Woking speaks again...
"I don't know how much you know about greenskins?"
Faced with this question, Shi Lei knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply took a step back.
"We actually know very little about greenskins. We only know a little from some records left by our ancestors, but this is the first time we have really faced greenskins."
Hearing this, Woking's face suddenly showed a trace of surprise.
At the same time, his eyes subconsciously swept over the greenskin corpses all over the ground.
Woking undoubtedly knew how difficult it was to deal with greenskins.
Don't think they were very relaxed just now, but that was because they, the dwarves, had been fighting with greenskins for many years and had rich combat experience. In addition to the advantage in military strength, they caught the other side off guard, which made the battle end easily.
During this period, the containment of the Great Zhou and the consumption of the greenskins' military strength also played a very critical role.
Under the appearance of this easy victory, there are actually many reasons for many aspects.
For normal human forces, the bloodbathed city on the periphery is the norm when they face greenskins for the first time.
This Great Zhou was able to achieve this for the first time against greenskins. He was really a little surprised, and to have such a performance, it often requires strong enough military strength to support it.
At this point, a new idea came to Woking's mind.
"These greenskins are weapons of war that appeared on the battlefield during the war of the old civilization. They are cruel and bloodthirsty, extremely warlike, and are born for war and plunder."
"And they multiply very quickly. After forming a certain scale, the greenskin tribe will begin to madly invade other forces around them. For other forces, they are a threat that cannot be ignored. The best way is to completely eliminate them."
At this point, Woking paused and then stated his purpose.
"Now on the rock wall, our Copperforge has formed a coalition with several other forces to fight against the greenskins together. Do you want to join us in the Great Zhou?"
Facing Woking's sudden invitation, Shi Lei was quite calm.
"I have to ask our Majesty for instructions on this matter before I can make a decision."
In this regard, Woking did not say anything more.
Although the Great Zhou has some strength, it is limited to this. It is not indispensable to their coalition.
He just made this invitation with a mentality of the more combat power the better.
Now he has no intention of forcing it.
It is also worth mentioning that no matter whether Da Zhou agrees to join the coalition or not, from the current situation, as long as Da Zhou's territory is still here, Da Zhou has to guard the rear for them in disguise.
If there are greenskins going deep into here in the future, Da Zhou will almost inevitably be the first to confront the greenskins.
But on the other hand, Copperforge Castle also has similar strategic value for Da Zhou.
After all, the dwarves of Copperforge Castle cannot allow the greenskins to pass through their territory unscrupulously and go deep into the rear of their territory.
This makes both parties, even in the absence of any alliance, just for self-protection, will provide each other with a certain degree of security in disguise. In a sense, it is also a win-win situation.
Afterwards, Shi Lei also wanted to invite Wo Jin into the city, entertain him, thank him for his help, and see if he could get more information from him.
But Wo Jin obviously didn't plan to do so.
"Forget about entering the city. Since the greenskin troops that have penetrated deep into the city have been successfully dealt with, I have to lead the troops back quickly."
For Copperforge, the dwarf troops led by Vol'jin are undoubtedly an important fighting force.
The front line is still fighting with the greenskin tribe. With the troubles in the rear resolved, they can't stay here for too long.
"If you plan to join the coalition in the future, follow the gap in the rock wall and go up. We in Copperforge will set up a checkpoint there. When the time comes, you can just report my name, Vol'jin Copperforge."
After saying that, Vol'jin did not stay any longer. He rode his boar mount, took his troops and left without looking back.
