Chapter 91 Going Underground
Under the premise of careful planning, the dwarves' actions went smoothly, and the goblins at the fortress were easily defeated, but the next action was difficult.

They are not familiar with the interior of the fortress. In contrast, the goblins have been breeding here for a long time, and the dwarves actually do not have a home field advantage.

Once dragged into street fighting, the barricades underground in the dwarf fortress are specially designed, but if those goblins have a little organization, the competition in each street will be very fierce. Even if they can win the fortress, they will have to pay a considerable degree of casualties. This is unacceptable to both dwarves and Tang Chao.

[Then, how about we block the exit first, and then deal with these wild goblins slowly after the threat of hobgoblins is lifted? 】

"Then there will be a time bomb buried in the rear. Those goblins will not let it go. They will definitely launch a retaliatory attack on us before withdrawing. We still don't know the situation inside the fortress. Maybe they have found an emergency exit. Then we would be under siege."

[What do you think about this, let’s hear it, and I will help if it is feasible. 】

After all, this was once the territory of the dwarves, and they were also experts in tunnel warfare. Tang Zhao, a layman's suggestion, was actually useless.

[We can only annihilate these Xiaoxiao before the hobgoblins arrive, and consume the manpower of the goblins here as much as possible, and wait for their offensive to weaken before we fight back. 】

It sounds more or less feasible, the formation of dwarves has a strong combat effectiveness in a relatively narrow underground, but it is also dangerous, no one knows what the underground situation is like.

After thinking for a while, Tang Zhao nodded in agreement.

[We will do our best to assist, just follow your plan. 】

"Thank you. The dwarves will remember the help of the woodland residents. In return, all the hatred against the woodland residents in the Greybeard Kingdom's Book of Hatred will be written off."

Bourne took a deep look at Tang Zhao and said gratefully.

It might sound like a perfunctory repayment of "cleaning up the hatred of the past," like a white wolf with empty hands, but in the concept of dwarves, this is already a very sincere repayment.

They take the concept of hatred very seriously, and it can be said that it is an integral part of their social life.When the dwarves are conducting various negotiations, they will seriously use the past hatred as a bargaining chip.

He didn't quite understand this custom, but Tang Zhao understood that the dwarves treated him very well, so he was naturally willing to help out at the risk.

The kobolds provided sufficient labor, and a simple fortification was quickly erected.

The main structure is a wall, a mixed structure of wood, stone and rammed earth, about two meters high, with several ballistas made by kobolds erected on it, and a 1.5-meter-deep trench was dug on the ground in front, in which many sharp wooden stakes.

Considering that the average height of goblins, kobolds, and dwarves is not as high as that of junior high school students, these fortifications are enough.

The entrance and exit of the underground part is a slope about ten meters wide and five meters high. There are no obstacles, and the field of vision is relatively wide. At the same time, the advantage of numbers cannot be used. It is undoubtedly a particularly suitable terrain for dwarves.

The IQ of the goblins is not that low. Seeing that the dwarves were building fortifications, they launched several crazy offensives one after another. However, with the efforts of Tang Zhao and others, these goblins did not climb over the city wall in the end, but left behind. Many corpses fled in haste.

But the first priority of Tang Zhao is not security, but to move the corpses and take the dead goblins to burn and bury them.

The main reason is to avoid the breeding of plague. Although there are many druid spellcasters on their side, these spellcasters are not so high in level and cannot deal with such horrible things as plague.

Although it is a pity to burn the meat, Tang Zhao has no interest in eating it - he has no strange principles, but no one wants to eat "talking meat", and he has better choices now.

The situation in his camp has gradually stabilized, and a small group of fast-moving people will help to transport supplies to and from several places in the forest.

Except for some necessary materials, the centaur mainly transports the flesh and blood from dragon beasts.

It is normal for a giant beast like Tang Zhao to eat a lot, but the centaur has no objection to it, and carries out the transportation work without complaint. Very satisfying to them.

The energy contained in the flesh and blood of the dragon beast is very strong, nine times the energy provided by normal creatures. Coupled with its extremely large size, it can almost provide more than one-third of the energy for Tang Zhao's evolution at one time. Hunting it It is a transaction with risks and benefits.

Speaking of fortifications, after the city wall was built, the goblin's offensive was significantly weaker, and they were not idiots, they wouldn't foolishly bump into ballistas and spikes.

Seeing that the timing was almost right, Bourne changed his strategy in time. The goblins and dwarves of the team acted in a group, and began to penetrate into the underground fortress a little bit, and began to consume the vitality of the goblins.

They mainly use short bows and crossbow arrows. The arrowheads are smeared with the poison secreted by the poisonous glands of the Tang Dynasty. They will shoot any goblins they find. Once there are a little more goblins, they will retreat quickly to avoid falling into a siege.

Tang Zhao's venom has been strengthened several times, and it can already be called a highly poisonous poison in nature. Even if bear goblins are poisoned by him, they will be in danger. If they are bitten and injected with a large amount of poison, then unless there is a red dragon A strange physique like a beast, otherwise no creature could survive.
