Chapter 70 Weapons and Supplies

The dwarves are only about 1.3 meters tall, but their hearts are not the same as their bodies-the magnificent fortress they built over several generations can allow the largest ancient dragon to live comfortably in it, even if the ceiling is three meters high for them. It is more than enough, and they will still build a 30-meter-high grand hall when they have spare capacity.

This grand inner world is reflected in every aspect of dwarves' lives. They will build statues of the ancestors and gods hundreds of meters high, build and use engineering equipment unimaginable by humans, and use warhammers and giants that are difficult for strong humans to lift. ax
Of course, if they only use larger and heavier weapons and equipment, they would not dare to claim to be experts in dealing with large creatures, mainly due to their living environment.

It is somewhat similar to the situation on the earth. The farther away from the place where humanoids live, the greater the probability of powerful and ferocious creatures appearing. The mountains and mountains where dwarves live are undoubtedly inaccessible places, from goblins to giant dragons. Set up camp in such a place, of course, a powerful opponent is indispensable.

With the dwarves' very sorry birth rate, they must be unique in being able to survive in an environment surrounded by powerful enemies. This hundreds-year-old dwarf really has a say in dealing with creatures like dragon beasts .

"There are not many of you who can wield rune battle axes, and your combat skills are not good enough. The chances of winning in an attack are not high, so I recommend you to use another method."

The dwarf artisans began to introduce their family's various engineering equipment, from simple spike traps to ballistas to trebuchets, and then began to brag about their family's various feats.

Tang Zhao can still trust the fact that the hobgoblin leader was sniped and killed a hundred meters away from the bed crossbow, but the fact that the catapult killed the white dragon is a bit too exaggerated.

Of course, bragging is a problem that dwarves have always had, but bragging must always have a historical prototype. Their engineering equipment can indeed be said to be the best in the whole continent.

At the same time, as the only professional architect in the entire settlement, the dwarf craftsman also expressed that he would plan a more reasonable architectural plan for them. Now their architectural planning is completely whimsical.

"I dare not say that you can make your settlement as impenetrable as a dwarf city, but it is okay to make it more difficult to break through. In addition, your patrol planning is also very bad. Those kobolds Combat strength and will to fight are unexpectedly reasonable, but the equipment and time arrangement are simply inferior to human beings. I will make some changes in this regard. You will see a patrol team and auxiliary combat squad with good combat power. Threat could be detected earlier."

This is Tang Zhao's positioning of the kobolds. Now that the dwarves are willing to offer help, he can't think of any need to refuse anyway.

The matter of the dragon beast cannot be solved by making good engineering equipment. After finalizing the matter of the dwarf craftsman, they continued to discuss the next issue.

The process was very cumbersome, and there were even one or two small-scale quarrels on the way, but fortunately, the discordant voices were successfully suppressed by Tang Zhao in the end.

In short, the number of guard patrols and the detection distance have doubled recently. At the same time, goblins should live in the core area of ​​the settlement as much as possible, and do not leave the core area of ​​the settlement unless necessary.

The bears stepped up to help the dwarf craftsmen make weapons, the dryads built a temporary city wall with hardened vines and a few wood and stones, the goblins tried to wake up the sleeping treants, and the kobolds performed various tasks as auxiliary workers...

The division of labor is reasonable. In theory, if we work harder, we can see the effect today, and it's not about repairing some semi-permanent fortifications. It won't take much time.

Tang Zhao did not participate in these matters, but immediately quickened his pace, carried some supplies with the two bears, and headed to the dwarves first.

Not to mention that they are also very anxious, and now the dragon beast has not directly launched an attack for some reason. If he drags on, then the settlement may happen to be raided when he leaves, which can basically be said to be There is no way to fight back.

There are other plans to deliver supplies now—one is that the dwarves can squeeze out some extra weapons and equipment, and the other is that the unicorns may also be willing to lend a helping hand appropriately.

There was no road in the forest, and it was impossible for a normal carriage to move an inch in this kind of place. Tang Zhao and others took nearly two days to reach their destination with extremely heavy supplies on their backs.

…………

Tang Zhao was actually not very good at observing words and expressions, but he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the dwarf camp was much more tense than before.

The wooden city wall was stained with a little dark red blood, heavily armed heavy crossbowmen and shield warriors were patrolling along the city wall, and there were many more ballistas erected on the tower behind the city wall...

All indications indicated that this side had experienced quite bloody battles before, and it seemed that the dwarves could handle it. They only felt a strong chill atmosphere in the camp, but they didn't feel much sadness from the dwarf soldiers.

The materials were quickly unloaded in the camp, and the dwarves surrounded by them began to move the goods in an orderly manner. There were not many things that a few people could bring, and they were emptied in three to two minutes.

This time Tang Zhao was not accompanied by Pickleman, but the bear man was also a druid spellcaster, and he could also cast the Animal Talk spell normally.It’s just that the real burly bears are a little more threatening than the cute peaks. If you take them to communicate with strangers, it may be considered as a conspiracy, so Tang Zhao has always let the peaks as translators.

Now that he has a preliminary cooperation and understanding with the dwarves, it doesn't matter who comes. Maybe they will be happier if brave warriors are used as interpreters. After all, this is an extremely martial race.
