Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1176 Want to show off in front of me? No way!

Shi Lei's idea was very simple. If the greenskin army just moved a little distance away and planned to set up camp to rest, then they would continue to send out hot air balloons to harass them and prevent them from having peace.

This will force the greenskin army to withdraw a farther distance in one breath.

In this way, even if they wanted to launch another attack on Copperforge Fort later, it would take a lot of time and energy just to travel back and forth.

This is undoubtedly an advantage for them as the defenders.

Even if the Goblin Strategist on the opposite side could see their purpose, he would be unable to do anything about it. After all, they were really given the advantage in this wave.

No matter how unhappy they are, the greenskins have to accept it.

After confirming that the greenskin army had completely retreated, Copperforge couldn't wait to send troops down the mountain to recover defensive resources.

The main thing is the wooden sticks they threw down before.

Before this, they were under siege from the greenskin army and were forced to close their defenses and hold their ground.

In this case, they obviously had no way to recover the thrown wooden beams.

Now I finally have the chance.

But don't think too much about this.

The greenskins on the opposite side were not fools either. After the war, they collected most of the wooden beams and burned them. The rest were too late to deal with.

All I can say is that it’s better than nothing.

In addition, the dwarves are also rushing to obtain wood from the outer areas. All of this wood can be used to make wooden beams, which will be important strategic materials once the war breaks out.

After the war with the greenskins, the inventory inside their Copperforge was constantly decreasing. At the same time, in order to make up for the losses, the few trees on the mountain to begin with were almost all cut down by them. Now that they finally got the chance, they naturally had to quickly replenish the inventory.

The Great Zhou does not need to worry about this matter. The dwarves will provide them with the defensive supplies as reinforcements. What they have to do now is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to have a good rest.

After a day of full rest, Shi Lei felt that the conditions of the soldiers, including himself, had improved significantly.

During this process, Bare asked Woking to come over and invite him to attend the banquet tonight.

"This is a banquet to welcome you. It should have been held a long time ago. However, as you know, the greenskins have been launching attacks, leaving us with no time or energy. That's why this event has been postponed until now."

Woking said this with sincerity on his face, but Shi Lei believed that this was definitely not the only reason.

At that time, Bale and his men had another idea. If they could not withstand the offensive of the greenskins and were defeated in a short period of time, then there would be no need for them to hold a banquet.

After all, in this situation, holding a banquet not only wastes time, but also consumes a lot of resources.

In fact, it is still the case now, but the difference is that the troops of the Great Zhou have demonstrated excellent combat capabilities, making Bale and others clearly realize that this is a powerful reinforcement that can help them change the situation of the battle.

Under this premise, this banquet, which not only wastes time but also consumes resources, becomes a way for them to show their sincerity.

The soldiers' banquet was arranged in the camp outside. There was no space in other places to accommodate so many people. The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led by Shi Lei, were invited to the Copper Furnace Fortress. Their banquet was held in the Dwarf King's Palace.

"That's your Copperforge?"

With King Woking, the son of the king, leading the way personally, Shi Lei and Jie Liancheng soon arrived at the outskirts of the real Copperforge.

Logically speaking, considering his status, Zhou Chongshan should also attend, but out of caution, after discussion, the three decided to let Zhou Chongshan stay in the camp just in case.

This time, the banquet was arranged in Tonglu Fort, and Shi Lei and Jie Liancheng were to attend.

At this moment, looking around, you can see that on the towering mountain, there are actually continuous stone fortresses standing. These stone fortresses are independent of the mountain, but are connected to the mountain. Even a modern man like Jie Liancheng feels eye-opening.

Just from this one move, we can see how strong the dwarves' construction ability is.

At least at this stage, they in the Great Zhou Dynasty could not build such a large project on the mountain. Of course, they did not plan to do it for the time being. The construction inside the mountain was too expensive, time-consuming and laborious. For such a three-cost project, Zhou Xu would only wait until other places were developed, and then slowly start to work on it.

Feeling the amazement in Shi Lei and the others' voices, Woking showed a hint of pride on his face, followed by a mysterious smile.

"This is just a part of Copperforge. Follow me."

The entrance to Copperforge was very similar to a medieval castle. With Woking leading the way, the gate rose up as the group approached.

After entering, everyone felt the light dimming.

Sunlight cannot penetrate into this location. Even during the day, the interior of the Copperforge Fort is illuminated by a large number of torches.

At this moment, Shi Lei suddenly understood why dwarves have night vision.

If you live in such a dimly lit environment every day, it would be really difficult to have night vision without some help.

After secretly complaining in his heart, Shi Lei quickly turned his attention to the situation in front of him.

Following Woking, they always felt that they were going deeper and deeper.

After many twists and turns, they arrived at a wooden fence gate that was half a person's height.

Looking inside, you can see almost nothing at a glance, just a rectangular space with nothing in it.

During this time, Shi Lei's eyes subconsciously swept over the rotating wheel structure and mechanism handle guarded by the dwarf guards on the side, and there was some speculation in his eyes.

Woking, who was leading the way in front, raised his chin slightly, ready to brag.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jie Liancheng's voice rang out.

"Is this an elevator?"

"!!"

Woking was visibly shocked when he heard this.

"You knew this?"

Xie Liancheng's interruption caused Woking to fail halfway through his attack, and an expression of surprise was hard to conceal on his face.

Although Shi Lei knew nothing about this, he still cooperated with the performance by showing a meaningful smile at the right time, and then handed the stage to Jie Liancheng next to him.

"What's there to know about this? It's not something rare."

"..."

"But there aren't many places in our Great Zhou that need this thing. You've arranged an elevator here..."

At this point, Xie Liancheng changed the subject.

"The main body of your Copperforge Fortress, could it be that it is inside the mountain?"

"Hahaha……"

Faced with this situation, Woking laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing this, Xie Liancheng also laughed twice, and his smile was so bright.
