Warhammer Seal

Chapter 185 Siege of Torrent Pass
Although this is Wende's first contact with dwarves, he is already very familiar with dwarf language.

If the dwarves say "the number of enemies is too small" then the number of enemies is about the same as the dwarves.

If the dwarves say "big army"

My God, this is not an ordinary army, there are at least twenty formed troops.

Each reorganization has 120 rats, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 2000 ratmen who came to attack the rapids.

This is not a small number. Although there are more than 8000 dwarves in Torrent pass, they cannot withstand too many ratmen's offensives, and they will inevitably be slowly eaten away.

Wende didn't care about the warning of the dwarf warrior, and ran directly towards the city gate.

Ruixi's footsteps are brisk, there has been no increase in killings in the past few days, and she almost forgot the smell of blood. There are ratmen coming to seek death, isn't this the best way to relieve boredom?
On the city wall, as the elector of Sylvania, Wende is of course qualified to face the commander of this defensive battle, that is, the king of the rapids: Barentin Stoneheart.

Just like all dwarves, he has a thick white beard, a helmet made of meteorite is clasped tightly on his head, and his hands are caressing his most beloved rune axe: the grudger.

The number of Ratmen outside the city was not many for him, and he was confident that he could lift the skulls of hundreds of Ratmen, and at the same time, the most trusted artillery unit could blow up the Ratman up and down.

Seeing those Ratmen making those primitive and inferior siege towers in the distance directly made the dwarf king smile with disdain.

"Dwarf warriors! Take up our weapons and go out to fight in the city, and drive all these rats back into the sewer to eat shit!"

As Balentin shouted, all the dwarves stood up excitedly, holding up their axes and hammers, ready for another glorious battle.

"no!"

Wende's voice resounded through the gates of the Torrent Gate, pouring cold water on all the dwarves.

Ballentin was so angry that he stood directly in front of Wende, and asked him loudly why he would say such frustrating words at this critical moment.

It's come to this point again, the long-term political life has made Wende understand a truth, sometimes a fleshy tongue is more effective than a steel rock, isn't it?Open your mouth and come up with your own theoretical system.

"Such a little rat man is not a problem for the dwarves at all, but have you dwarves considered what will happen after driving the rat man away?"

Wende yelled loudly, because he had trained how to speak before, so now he can make a loud voice by taking a deep breath.

This sentence also stunned the dwarves who were eager to try just now. No one really thought about what to do after driving the Ratman away. This is what Wende is going to tell them now.

"Ratmen, they want to rob food in winter. I know the dwarves are brave, but after you drive the ratmen away, they will go to Sylvania to grab food. Humans can't stop them!"

"So, I beg everyone, can you rely on the city defense of Torrent Pass to delay the Ratman's time, lest the Ratman attack Sylvania and cause me serious losses."

Taking care of such a proud mountain race really made Wende exhausted.

Of course he wasn't worried that these ratmen would go to Sylvania. The vampire lord Vlad was worried that there was nothing to test his abilities.

It was easy for Sylvania to block the Ratmen.

As for why the dwarves were not allowed to go out of the city to fight, the real reason was that Wende wanted to preserve the vitality of the dwarves.

The nature of fighting outside the city is completely different from that of defending the city. The latter can reduce a lot of losses, and this is winter, and the Ratmen will not besiege the city for a long time due to lack of food.

Such a tactic would infuriate the dwarves, who would think Wende looked down on them, if they said it outright.

It can only be an excuse that if the ratmen are driven away, they will threaten their fief Sylvania, so they ask the dwarves not to fight.

It has to be said that such a method worked. The dwarves, who always valued friendship, of course believed what Wende said. If the ratmen were driven away, they would definitely harass Sylvania!
Balentin also nodded solemnly, and ordered all dwarf warriors to put down their hammers and axes, and put on muskets and crossbows to carry out defensive operations on the city wall.

It can be regarded as persuading these stubborn bones, Wen De breathed a sigh of relief, of course, acting must be a full set!
"Thank you, King Barentin of Torrent Pass, thank you for delaying the Ratmen to relieve the pressure on Sylvania. After this siege is over, you will get a [-]% discount on all food in Sylvania."

It is said to be a [-]% discount, but Wende actually wants to give the dwarves free food.

Although the climate in Sylvania is bad, it is also full of humus soil. After Vlad has controlled all the undead creatures, the food production of the entire province is very gratifying.

If he directly said to give the grain to the dwarves, these stubborn bones would definitely not agree. No, finally came an opportunity to sell the grain to the dwarves at a cheaper price. Wende killed three birds with one stone.

In the distant formation of the Ratman army, the Ratman warlord jumped uprightly on the spot!
"Good plan, good plan failed, the dwarves will not come out, not come out!"

Sure enough, just as Wende expected, the ratmen of the Evilspit clan set up a trap and waited for the dwarves of Torrent Pass to go out to fight.

The Ratmen desperately need a victory, their mother Ratman is just too fertile and has many more mouths to eat, and there is no food for winter.

The purpose of the Evil Spit clan choosing to attack Torrent Pass at this point in time is very clear.

First of all, with the help of war, many mouths to eat were cleaned up.

Then rob the dwarves of their food.

If the Torrent pass can be conquered, the engineering blueprints in this city can also make a fortune for the Evil Spit clan.

The Ratmen simply didn't have the food and morale to fight for a long time. After a siege tower was hastily built, the whole army began to attack.

"Fuck me, there are so many ratmen!"

Balentin was also surprised and jumped off the bench. He thought it was just a simple defensive battle, and he could sit on the throne and wait for the victory of the battle.

Unexpectedly, the ratmen actually hid their hands, and at the same time, many ratmen emerged from the cracks in the rocks and from under the soil. There were more than 4000 of them! ! !

Fortunately, the Elector named Wende stopped the troops who were about to go out, otherwise the troops who went out to fight in the city would definitely be surrounded and wiped out by the Ratmen.

You must thank Wende well and give him the spirits that you have treasured for 180 years.

"Wait, where's Wende? Where's Wende?"
