Chapter 855 Dwarves and Greenskins
Shi Lei also learned the name "Greenskin" through the "Eye of Insight". Just like those dwarves, although some dwarves cannot be seen by the "Eye of Insight", there are so many greenskins that there will always be a few who can see.
During this process, Shi Lei was very surprised to find that the racial name of these greenskins was really called "greenskins".
Through the two words "greenskin" and "dwarf", Woking further confirmed that the humans here did know something about them.
At this moment, facing Shi Lei's question, he was not surprised. He quickly raised his hand and pointed to the towering rock wall in the distance.
"We come from Copperforge on the rock wall, and we have been waging a long war with the greenskins."
"Some time ago, a heavy rain caused a landslide, which accidentally resulted in a road that was not really a road being opened where there was no road before."
There was something subtle in Woking's tone when he said this, as if he didn't know how to describe it.
"Normal troops cannot pass through that road, but the greenskins are able to 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 special troop here to resolve the hidden danger."
Having said this, Woking paused.
"As soon as we arrived here, we found traces of other civilizations. But unfortunately, we arrived too late. The human city outside has been bloodbathed by the greenskins."
"In order to get rid of the greenskin army, we followed the trail and found you guys fighting with the greenskins here."
There was obviously no need for Woking to explain what happened afterwards, as Shi Lei basically knew everything.
During this process, Woking could actually sense the other party's slight vigilance, so he explained...
"Don't worry, we have no ill will towards you, otherwise we wouldn't have to send troops to rescue you. Those greenskins are our enemies."
They, the dwarves, are different from those greenskins. They are not warmongers.
If possible, they would prefer to stay in Copperforge and study ore or forging techniques.
The population of their dwarves is not too large, and Copperforge is enough for them to survive. This makes them not interested in invading and expanding outward, and the limited population does not allow it.
But as a dwarf who has lived for more than two hundred years, Vol'jin is obviously not very related to the word "naive".
As early as when he came down, he had already observed the environment here.
Just as he said, they lived in Copperforge Castle on the rock wall, and the rock wall facing this side was steep and vertical, which basically meant that the human country located under the rock wall could not approach them directly along the rock wall, and naturally could not pose a threat to them.
With this as a premise, Woking naturally doesn't mind showing some kindness to the human in front of him. Having more friends and less trouble is always a good thing.
After several conversations, the atmosphere between the two sides obviously improved. Seeing this, Woking spoke again...
"I wonder how much you know about greenskins?"
Faced with this problem, Shi Lei knew that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply took a step back.
"We actually know very little about the greenskins. We only know a little from some records left by our ancestors, but this is the first time we have really faced off against the greenskins."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on Woking's face.
At the same time, his eyes subconsciously swept across the green-skinned corpses all over the ground.
Woking undoubtedly knew how difficult it was to deal with the greenskins.
Don't think they seemed very relaxed just now, that was because they, the dwarves, have been fighting with the greenskins for years and have rich combat experience. In addition, they have the advantage in military strength and caught the enemy off guard, which allowed the battle to end easily.
During this period, the Great Zhou's containment and consumption of the greenskin troops also played a very critical role.
Behind the appearance of this easy victory, there are actually many factors involved.
For normal human forces, when they first confront the greenskins, the normal situation is that the city on the outskirts is bathed in blood.
He was really surprised that Da Zhou could achieve this level when he faced the greenskins for the first time. To achieve such a performance, one often needs to have strong enough military strength to support it.
As soon as he thought of this, a new idea arose in Woking's mind.
"These greenskins are weapons of war that appeared on the battlefield during the war of the old civilization. They are cruel, bloodthirsty, and extremely warlike. They were born for war and plunder."
"And they multiply very quickly. After reaching a certain size, the greenskin tribe will begin to frantically invade other forces around them. For other forces, they are a threat that cannot be ignored. The best way is to completely eliminate them."
Having said that, Woking paused and then stated his purpose.
"Now on that rock wall, we, Copperforge, have formed an alliance with several other forces to fight against the greenskins. Do you, Great Zhou, want to join us?"
Faced with Woking's sudden invitation, Shi Lei remained relatively calm.
"I have to consult with our Majesty before I can make a decision on this matter."
Woking didn't say anything more about this.
Although the Great Zhou has some strength, that is all it is. It is not indispensable to their coalition forces.
He just made this invitation with the mentality that the more fighting power the better.
He didn't plan to force it now.
It is also worth mentioning that no matter whether Da Zhou agrees to join the coalition or not, judging from the current situation, as long as Da Zhou's territory is still here, Da Zhou will have to guard the rear for them in disguise.
If more greenskins come here in the future, Da Zhou will almost inevitably be the first to confront the greenskins.
However, on the other hand, Tonglu Fort also has similar strategic value to the Great Zhou.
After all, the dwarves of Copperforge would not allow the greenskins to pass through their territory unscrupulously and go deep into the rear of their territory.
This means that even without any alliance, both parties will provide each other with a certain degree of security just for the sake of self-protection. To some extent, it can be considered a win-win situation.
Afterwards, Shi Lei wanted to invite Woking into the city, host a banquet for him, thank him for his help, and see if he could get more information from him.
But Woking obviously had no such intention.
"Forget about entering the city. Since we have successfully dealt with the greenskin troops that penetrated deep into the city, I must lead my troops back as soon as possible."
For Copperforge, the dwarf army led by Vol'jin is undoubtedly an important fighting force.
On the front line, they are still fighting with the greenskin tribe. Now that the trouble in the rear has been resolved, they can't stay here for too long.
"If you plan to join the coalition in the future, just follow the gap in the rock wall and go up. We in Copperforge will set up a checkpoint there. When you get there, just tell us my name, Woking Copperforge."
After saying this, Vol'jin did not stop, rode his boar mount, took his troops and left without looking back.
