Chapter 97 Guerrilla
Seeing that Tang Zhao is going to participate in a more intense war, even though his scale armor defense is already good enough to defend against most sharp weapons, he still thinks that he needs better armor protection, after all, in order to save his life. In terms of preparation, there is never too much preparation.

There are metallurgical workshops and metal raw materials that survived in the dwarf fortress. Goblins are not interested in these things, so they are still well preserved. Basically, they can be used normally after cleaning. At the same time, there are many dwarves. Skilled craftsmen, they do this work as their own work.

Bourne readily agreed, and his operational efficiency was astonishing. He arranged several blacksmiths to work in rotation, and within three days, they made the armor Tang Zhao requested.

In ancient Europe, it took two to three weeks to forge a set of custom-made full-body plate armor at high speed, not to mention that Tang Zhao's special body shape required more parts and special designs. This speed was already quite fantastic.

The overall armor is made of a metal material called tundra steel, which is known for its lightness and strength. The connecting parts are made of red dragon scale armor, which does not cover Tang Zhao's whole body, but only protects a few weak parts of Tang Zhao's body. Such as the neck and flanks, these parts are easily attacked by weapons, and it is necessary to strengthen the protection.

In order to reduce the load, Tang Zhao did not install any fancy weapons on his body, but forged a pair of sharp and sharp claws to replace the previous pair of tapered ones.

The claws he used before were specially designed to break armor, which can be better used to attack large creatures, but it is not necessary for goblins. Each sharp cone is as thick as a hobgoblin's forearm, which is more or less like a cannon for killing mosquitoes. Feel.

The needs were met, and Tang Zhao could not be of much help if he stayed here, so he simply left the dwarf city in armor.

The goblins of the Bloodfist clan may launch an attack at any time. Maybe the next time they come back will be after the war. Tang Zhao can't help the dwarves too much at the moment, and only left them with more than [-] kobolds to serve as laborers. Goods, building fortifications, I hope they can stand up in the end, otherwise the blood fist hobgoblin will also pose a serious threat to the forest.
-
Four or five days after that, the Bloodfist clan officially launched a war against the dwarves. They swarmed out of the camp, surrounded the entire dwarf city, and opened the curtain of attack.

After the war, the information exchange between Tang Zhao and the dwarves was severely blocked, and they could only communicate through the birds domesticated by the elves to send letters.

According to the letter, almost 1 people from the Bloodfist clan have come this time, and there are also ordinary goblins who are several times the number of hobgoblins.This is already a very dangerous number, because the total number of dwarves is only more than [-] people. As the saying goes, it is not necessarily accurate, but with such a huge difference in the number of people, the dwarves must face a huge pressure.

They were not idle during the quiet period. Instead, they were busy making siege weapons, including rams, trebuchets, ladders, etc. The forest was full of wood, so it was not difficult for them to cut down some weapons to make them.

The dwarves were not optimistic about the situation. Maybe they would go underground and fight the hobgoblins in the street, but they didn't plan to retreat, but would fight the hobgoblins to the end.

The dwarves have a small population, they will fight this kind of battle many times in their lifetime, and they have a lot of relevant experience. It is really not certain who will win in the end, but it is conceivable that the battle will be very tragic.

The dwarves were busy with their war, and the Bloodfist clan had limited troops, and they had no interest in dividing troops into the forest, so the situation on the forest side was as expected, with the Greenspear clan fighting against the woodland residents.

The team sent by the Greenspear clan to open the way was much smaller, with about two thousand hobgoblins and several times the amount of cannon fodder. During this period of time, they were consumed a lot by guerrilla warfare and several attacks, but compared to the woodland residents, they still accounted for a large number of people. and an absolute advantage in quality.

Lorraine was in charge of commanding the battle. His tactics were not much different from before. He used his familiarity with the forest and the high mobility of the centaur to attack the supply line of the Greenspear clan and fight against the hobgoblins.

The population of woodland residents is far less than that of hobgoblins, and they also lack high-level spellcasters or fighters who can change the situation of the battle, so they can only use this method to deal with hobgoblins.

Tang Zhao didn't feel ashamed or aggrieved by this, he grew up from an ordinary lizard, and he used all kinds of insidious tactics for hunting, as long as it worked properly.

Until the 21st century, this method still caused headaches for many countries, let alone these creatures that were basically in the middle ages. The Green Spear clan had to suspend the development of the road and concentrate on dealing with Tang Zhao and others, but the results were not good.

Tang Zhao and Lorraine's subordinates all adhered to the "hit and run" principle, and smeared various toxins on weapons insidiously. The goblins who were recruited were either killed or injured. Come over to surround and annihilate, and come down a few times, the loss on the goblin side is great.

The battle continued on and off for half a month, and finally the Green Spear clan lost patience and decided to force a decisive battle with Tang Zhao and others.

A large number of goblins left the camp, formed a neat team and marched into the forest, trying to find out the enemy and fight head-on.
