Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1154 The Price of Laziness

While Shi Lei was waiting for reinforcements, it was obviously impossible for Woking to wait here all the time.

Although the dwarves have a naturally long lifespan and lack a sense of time, things that happened a few years ago are just a while ago for them.

But now Copperforge is under attack by a large army of greenskins.

In this situation, even the dwarves who lacked a sense of time felt a sense of urgency.

Leaving a personal soldier to lead the Great Zhou troops, Woking himself led his boar riders to go ahead and rush back to support the battle.

On Shi Lei's side, as soon as the three hundred Centaur cavalry led by Drogo arrived, they set off without any hesitation.

The distance from the Plains Fortress to the territory of Copperforge is actually not far.

For cavalry, half a day is enough, but a large army will need more time.

"It's just ahead!"

After traveling for a while, the large army led by Shi Lei has now arrived at the outskirts of Tonglu Fort's territory.

According to Woking, there was originally no road here. It was because of a heavy rainstorm that caused a landslide, which resulted in a road that was not really a road accidentally opened up where there was originally no road.

From what he said, you can tell that this road is definitely not going to be easy.

But when he really came here, Shi Lei realized that he was still naive.

Looking at the pile of stones, how can this be a road? It is just a small mountain of gravel!
Just as Shi Lei was thinking this, the boar rider who was leading the way in front rode the boar under his crotch and climbed to the top in a jumping state.

Then, as if remembering something, the Boar Rider hurriedly turned around to take a look at the Great Zhou troops still below.

"Um. Can you climb up?"

"..."

Wow, even though he was riding a pig, its flexibility was beyond his expectations.

Ultimately, it’s due to insufficient intelligence.

Although they had had contact with the dwarves a long time ago, in terms of the degree of understanding, their understanding of the dwarves was probably not as deep as that of the greenskins.

The wild boars under the Boar Knight mainly lived in the mountains and forests before being domesticated, so these wild boars are very good at running and climbing in the mountains.

The stone pestle in front of us was undoubtedly caused by the landslide. Over the years, the dwarves of Copperforge have never cleaned it up.

Because for the dwarves, the existence of this stone pestle is beneficial to them. It can be regarded as a simple city wall, which can increase the difficulty for the greenskin troops to invade the rear of their territory.

At the same time, it can also, to a certain extent, guard against the Great Zhou behind them.

But now, after the two sides reached an alliance, the stone pestle that blocked their way became the biggest obstacle for the Great Zhou troops to provide support.

The centaurs, led by Drogo, were considered highly agile among the cavalry, but faced with this kind of terrain, it was quite difficult for them to move due to their body shape.

At this time, it was the ordinary infantry in the army who climbed much more smoothly.

But even so, the existence of this stone pestle obviously delayed the efficiency of their support.

Don't think that the collapsed mountain just formed a wall at the bottom. In fact, it almost filled up a road, making the soldiers led by Shi Lei feel like they were crossing mountains and ridges.

Regarding this situation, the boar knight who was in charge of leading the way could not help at all. Shi Lei, who was standing on the periphery, frowned.

"I need to talk to Lord Woking!"

"Then I'll go and report it."

The space on the back of the Boar Rider's boar is very limited. After riding on a sturdy dwarf, there is no room left to carry anyone else.

"No need, I'll go there myself!"

It was unknown how long it would take for the Boar Rider to go back and forth, so Shi Lei decided to make the trip himself.

"But how are you going to get there, Mr. Shi Lei?"

Just as he asked this question, accompanied by a loud eagle cry, a giant eagle circled and fell from the sky under the Boar Knight's almost dull gaze...

At the same time, Woking was actually already thinking of a way to deal with this ruin.

He's not a fool.

After they successfully formed an alliance with Da Zhou, this collapsed area would greatly delay Da Zhou's efficiency in supporting them.

Therefore, as soon as Wo Jingang returned, he immediately applied to mobilize internal labor to clear the road.

But the problem now is that they are fighting against a large army of greenskins. Even in this battle, they are at a disadvantage and have been suppressed by the large army of greenskins. Otherwise, Vol'jin would not need to ask the Great Zhou for an alliance.

Under this premise, how many people can they spare to deal with this troublesome rubble?
This situation made Woking very confused. The lazy thinking in the past few years brought them even greater troubles now.

If we had not been lazy back then and cleaned up this collapsed area in time and built a more reliable garrison outpost, we wouldn't be in the trouble we are having now.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and now they have to pay the price for their laziness.

Just as Vol'jin was regretting his decision, an eagle's cry was heard in the sky. Accompanied by a commotion among the dwarves below, a giant eagle appeared in their sight.

When Woking saw this scene, there was obvious surprise on his face. He did not know the knight who was controlling the giant eagle, but he recognized the person brought by the giant eagle knight. It was Shi Lei!
"Lord Woking!"

Call out Woking's name and identify yourself first to avoid misunderstanding.

After the giant eagle landed steadily, Shi Lei jumped off its back.

At this moment, the attention of all the dwarves present, including Vol'jin, was attracted by the giant eagle.

Thinking back carefully, he did notice something flying in the sky when he went to the Plain Fortress before.

At that time, he just thought it was some kind of flying bird, but who could have imagined that it was actually the aerial unit of the Great Zhou!

A simple air unit could not surprise him so much. After all, many forces in the coalition, including their dwarves, had hot air balloons.

But the problem was that the air units of the Great Zhou were actually knights riding giant eagles! This result could be said to have directly refreshed his understanding of air units!

[The Great Zhou actually still has such a force?! ]

Not to mention anything else, just based on the flexibility and speed displayed by the opponent in the air, the hot air balloon was completely defeated by the opponent!
Woking could fully imagine the scene of the giant eagle knight soaring high in the sky, relying on his own agility and swiftness, wantonly ravaging the hot air balloon.

Compared to the Giant Eagle Knight, the hot air balloon is like a slow snail!
