Chapter 72 What the Ancients Did

"I fully understand your request, but I believe you have also seen the situation on our side. It is difficult to deploy many people to assist you. But we grit our teeth, and we can always spare some supplies. Heavy-duty projects You probably won’t be able to take the equipment with you. We can present some weapons and equipment as a testimony of friendship. Of course, due to the current situation, we really can’t produce any magical weapons. They are all forged from gray steel and black steel. .”

Tang Zhao has never been picky eaters since he was a child, he can swallow both carrion and insect meat, and his personality has not changed now, he doesn't care about the specific quality, as long as it is suitable and available.

What's more, the weapons that can be used by the dwarves themselves, even if they are only usable, can be regarded as excellent weapons for other races. Where is the gap in metallurgical technology?

Not to mention the kobolds, they were still in the tribal era before, and it would be good if they could use bronzes, so naturally they would not be picky about the weapons forged by the dwarves.

Now Tang Zhao really needs any form of assistance, so he didn't shirk it. He solemnly thanked him and took over the dwarves' weapons and equipment.

The situation of the dwarves is not optimistic. Every experienced craftsman or engineer is an extremely precious resource. It is really difficult for them to squeeze out manpower to support them. Tang Zhao also understands this and is not demanding.

Now the dwarves are in a desperate situation where the country is ruined and their families are destroyed. At this time, they are willing to help. Tang Zhao remembers this kindness.Even if the dwarf had other demands on him in the future, Tang Zhao would try his best to satisfy them, and it was necessary to repay the kindness of sending charcoal in the snow.

By the way, he also asked about the situation in the dwarf settlement - it was not much different from what he thought, that is, some goblins who followed were constantly harassing them.

Both he and Bourne understood that a deliberate harassment attack was often followed by a general attack, so the dwarves were always on the lookout for this.

On the one hand, the defense project of the camp was continuously strengthened, on the other hand, it was looking for a suitable retreat path and making two-handed preparations.

According to Bourne, there is a basically well-preserved old dwarf city nearby. There are no large groups of goblins stationed there, only a few wandering goblin tribes.

Once the stronghold can be taken back, the dwarves can restore it with a little repair and make it an impregnable fortress.

The city walls made of granite can withstand the bombardment of most siege weapons. At the same time, the fortress generally only has one main entrance, and the width of the battlefield is very small. double advantage.

However, judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to achieve this. Bourne is trying to find a way, and he does not know whether he will succeed in the end.

According to the news from the dwarves, the unicorn's territory has also been continuously harassed in the past few days, but generally speaking, it has not suffered any major losses.

They also need some other supplies here, but Tang Zhao really can't afford it now, so he can only put it on hold for the time being, and make plans after solving the dragon and beast matter.
-
Tang Zhao didn't rush to take away the equipment presented by the dwarves, but left them and the bears in the dwarves' settlement first.

He still has to go to Lorraine the Unicorn. Even if he can't provide much help for the Dragon Beast's affairs, it is still necessary to get proper information.

Going around in the forest, he finally came to the territory of the unicorn Lorraine. Tang Zhao didn't take much effort this time and saw the unicorn directly.

His mental state looks pretty good, but there are a few obvious wounds on his body, although they have basically healed, they still look very hideous.

[It seems that you have also experienced a hard battle here. 】

[Of course, more and more dark creatures have entered the forest recently. Most goblins are easy to deal with, and can be expelled with simple magic, but there are also tricky enemies among them. 】

The wound on the unicorn's body was shimmering. This was the effect of healing magic, which was different from the pixie's. This was a serious second-order magic, and it really had a significant effect on healing.

[Don't look at me like this, it looks very serious, but it will be back to normal in a day or two. 】

[This is not a problem, the question is is this common?Going on like this is not an option. 】

From Tang Zhao's point of view, Lorraine's situation is similar to his. They all lack the backbone, and only the upper-level people are exhausted.

[Actually, I'm only a few hundred years old, and I don't know much more than you. Similar incidents happen more or less once or twice every few years. 】

【The root cause should be the hobgoblins and orcs, but neither you nor I can interfere that far. Let's settle the immediate matter first. 】

【Of course, I will do it after I recover.】

Lorraine Qianqian said a few words to Tang Zhao. He knew almost everything about the forest, and the information in his hands was naturally much richer than that of the dwarves.

The targets of those goblins were not all dwarves, but also many other creatures in the forest. As far as he knew, many settlements had been forced to evacuate.

The hobgoblin and the orcs have some premeditated plans, and it should not be aimed at Insula. At present, both Lorraine and Tang Zhao believe that they have some plans against the Kingdom of Oran.

Lorraine discovered that some goblins were cutting down trees, instead of using them for construction and fuel as usual, they cut down a long path extending eastward.

[I have reason to suspect that they are doing the same thing as the ancient Ostians, cutting down trees, opening up roads, and connecting the east and west sides of the Everlook Mountains. 】
