On the morning of the fifth day when the fleet went to sea, the battleship finally arrived at the wetland port. This ordinary ship took at least forty days to sail, but the fleet only took less than five days to arrive.

At this time, the Wetland Port was only a small port like a fishing village, but the necessary port facilities were still available.

The long trestle stretched into the sea. The warship approached it and carefully attached it, then lowered the baffle to let the crew walk down.

The dwarf survivors got off the boat first and went to explain the situation to the dwarf guards to prevent them from seeing the murlocs and gnolls having too much excitement. The dwarves stationed here often conflict with the local indigenous people, and their rash appearance will definitely cause misunderstandings.

It would be bad if there is hostile attack behavior.

The survivors argued with the guard captain, and even rolled up their sleeves and had a fight. Then the captain finally sent guards to the ship to check the situation.

The short, fat guard wearing heavy plate armor first looked outside the boat, and then got on the boat with great interest and looked around. Since he had already been informed about it before, he was not surprised to see the murlocs and jackals.

Zhang Weidao looked at the armor of the dwarf guards. Judging from the edge of the armor, it was at least three centimeters thick. It must be a humanoid armored vehicle! It seems that the armor on the heavy infantry will be thicker in the future. Soldiers who cannot bear the weight of the armor will be eliminated directly.

Let them operate technical weapons, otherwise they will be irresponsible for the lives of soldiers in the front row.

This dwarf guard wearing fine plate armor was also very interested in the plate armor on the heavy infantry. Although the thickness was a little thinner than his own, it was far more thick than the armor of other races.

They are both warriors and blacksmiths. Many of the plate armors of human countries are made by them. They have very clear indicators in this regard.

The armors of these human and jackal soldiers in front of you are definitely rare and exquisite!

It seems that it must have been made by dwarves, but there is no impression of the mark, and I don't know which family still stays in the Kingdom of Stormwind to make the armor. The dwarf guards know that there are many tribesmen living in the Kingdom of Stormwind, and they probably made these armors.

The guard took a casual walk around the battleship and then went back to report to the captain.

Having saved their compatriots and wearing dwarf-style armor, this is definitely their fault!

Even if many of the crew are jackals and fishmen, it doesn't matter. They are just subordinates hired by humans. Moreover, the natives are not the life-and-death enemies of the dwarves, they just have a little friction with them.

When he heard the dwarf guard reporting that there was no enemy race on the ship, Zhang Weidao suddenly thought that it was fortunate that the black iron dwarf Garon did not come, otherwise there would definitely be a fight if he showed up. These are real life-and-death enemies!

Fortunately, Garroen didn't brand the Dark Iron Clan mark on his equipment, otherwise he would definitely be recognized by these long-lived guys. Two or three hundred years between dwarves is really nothing.

The captain of the guard let him go after hearing the report from his men. The crew on the ship just came down to do some activities. This small village of several thousand people could not accommodate them. More than 20,000 people crowded the port fishing village, and there was a lot of bustle everywhere.

of people.

Fortunately, the murlocs did not go ashore, but wandered nearby along the coastline, looking for fellow murlocs that appeared nearby.

Zhang Weidao also sent a gnoll assassin to contact the mosskin gnoll clan here according to the dwarf's instructions.

Those robbers covered in green moss are a headache for the dwarves. If you contact them this time, they will definitely give the orcs a big gift.

Wetland jackals with their natural protective colors are really hard to guard against. They will always suddenly jump out of the grass and steal goods.

At this time, the survivors had also persuaded the guard captain and asked him to send men to recall the legendary mountain ranger and the miners working in various mines.

Groups of dwarf warriors mounted goat mounts and headed to various mines along the road east of the port. These dwarf-tamed goats didn't look good, but they ran quite fast, not much slower than human horses.

In addition to evacuating the tribe, the goat knights also had to perform a despicable task in the eyes of the dwarves.

That is to take out all the explosives from the mine and bury them on the mountain wall closest to the road. This was Zhang Weidao's suggestion to the guard captain. Originally, this upright dwarf warrior did not agree, but after the survivors described the orc army,

Violent, I struggled a lot internally, and finally let go.

Since the orcs can burn down the dwarf villages and fortresses, leaving no humans or animals behind, then don't blame him for being rude!

The guard captain sent a small number of assassins to lurk near the ambush point, and would detonate explosives whenever the orc army passed by. There was only one road in the swamp anyway, and these outsiders could only walk along the main road.

All that was left was to wait. After lunch, I saw dwarves returning from the east. They were all miners and archaeologists from various mining areas. These guys were not far away, just on the road east of the port.

Mining and archeology in the mountains next to it.

In fact, archaeologists are similar in nature to tomb robbers. They excavate ancient ruins everywhere, but their starting points are different.

Dwarves are the most powerful archaeologists besides elves. As for the elves, they themselves are living history books that have lived for tens of thousands of years.

Archaeological excavation enthusiasts brought back bad news. The vanguard of the orcs has appeared, and the dwarf goat cavalry and legendary mountain rangers are blocking them.

At this time, Zhang Weidao's strategic goal of gathering his men and persuading them all to evacuate to Dunmod Fortress came to nothing.

The guard captain named Oral Stone Hammer was already circling around in a hurry, like an ant on a hot pot.

Although his subordinates are in charge of hundreds of dwarf warriors and are also responsible for port management, they have never experienced such a life-and-death event!

Looking at this guy who was so anxious that he almost pulled out his beard, Zhang Weidao was worried about the dwarves' IQ. No wonder they were driven all the way back to their hometown by the orc army.

"Calm down Oral, your beard is about to be pulled out!"

Zhang Weidao quickly discouraged Olar from committing self-harm, and then pointed at the crowd strolling on the road.

He said very calmly: "With such a powerful army here, you don't need to worry about anything."

After calming down, Oral quickly arranged for the civilians to move, and moved the useful supplies to the battleship. Those that could not be taken away were piled together and laid with dry firewood, and burned when they retreated.

Looking at the people who were busy preparing for the battle, Zhang Weidao couldn't help but sigh that God is not as good as man. He originally planned to arrange for the dwarves to withdraw in the next two days, and add some obstruction to the orc army, but who knew that the other party would come so quickly.

Now many plans have to be revised. Fortunately, Dunmod's goat cavalry has already notified them. As long as they delay here, they will be ready and will not be taken away by a surprise attack like in history.

Moreover, the local murlocs and jackals also got in touch. Zhang Weidao gave them all the dwarves' excess weapons and sent a magical military book to the envoys who came to negotiate.

The general outline of this military book has only sixteen words: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

That’s right! This is the secret of guerrilla warfare used by our revolutionary ancestors!
