Chapter 31 Successor

Changes always come so suddenly.

At the last moment, the iron boss looked at the castle in the distance with pride, watching his subordinates swarming to capture the castle, and was immersed in a sea of ​​praises and vocabulary. At the next moment, he watched the castle collapse. It seemed that it was not a solid castle from the hands of a dwarf, but a pile of toys made of pieces of paper, which collapsed by the wind.

The collapse of the castle caused a violent shock to the earth, but the greenskins outside the castle could only stand there and watch all this happen. The greenskins were yelling to celebrate the victory just now, but now they are all mute immediately. Perhaps they really can't understand what happened in their limited brains.

"Boss, this is a dwarf...exploded..." A goblin jumped up and commented. The goblin has always been noisy, but this time, when the talkative goblin saw the gaze of the boss of Iron Pian, he immediately closed his mouth.

In fact, it is easy to understand after thinking through this matter - the dwarves exploded their own castle. It must be pointed out that although it is not common to blast castles, it is absolutely not rare to blast tunnels. Whenever the dwarves and Greenskin engage in a fierce tunnel offensive and defensive battle (when attacking the fortress city of the dwarves, this kind of battle is always inevitable), the defeated and retreating dwarves often take this move. This move usually causes major casualties on the Greenskin side.

The boss of the iron gaze fiercely looked at the talkative goblin. The other green gazes all closed their mouths wisely. Although the boss of the iron gaze is a gentle (relatively speaking), he is a boss after all. When a boss looks at his subordinates with this kind of gaze, it means that the unlucky guy will soon reach the end of his life. If any boy with no vision comes in at this time, he will also be affected by the fish.

"Boss, the dwarves exploded." Another goblin who was far away and had not seen the current situation clearly accidentally inserted it. "They committed suicide!"

"What rice? Suicide?" The boss of the Iron Pi was temporarily distracted by this novel term.

"Yes, suicide." The goblin saw that the boss was paying attention to him and expressed his opinion even more proudly. "They could not beat us, so they all just lit gunpowder and committed suicide, and the castle exploded."

...

"After suffering such a heavy blow, even the Greenskin boss at the level of the war commander could not control his subordinates." Carrie told Ash Rufat proudly. "Although Greenskin is warlike, they also don't like failure, and they don't like the boss who will bring them failure. Maybe at the beginning, the Greenskins will try to dig out some spoils from the ruins of the castle, but when they find that the castle is a shoddy defective product, and they have suffered heavy losses in the war but have nothing to gain, the Ironskins' prestige will be completely reimbursed in his troops. Even without subsequent attacks, his army will quickly begin to collapse. Leaders of all sizes will leave this boss, and perhaps overnight, the Ironskins' subordinates will scatter."

"This is just a possibility..." Asu Rufate actually trusts Carrie unconditionally in many aspects, especially those in political management, power, economy, speculation of people's hearts and dealing with people. Carrie is his teacher, so he doesn't even have to make suggestions. However, in terms of war, Asu Rufate has some of his own experience. He has already keenly felt that although Carrie's plan looks perfect, it seems that something is wrong.

No, it's not a wrong thing, it's a mistake. Thomas once said that an important rule of war is to keep a good backup. Fools know that putting more troops into the battlefield will bring advantages, but a qualified general must keep a reserve team just in case. Because things in this world are always like this - not just war, but anything - no matter how you calculate, there will be at least three accidents that you never expected, and at least one of them is something you don't want to see.

“…According to the report of Naragrim, did not Greenskin show great morale in the siege war?”

"That's not a normal morale - even for Green Skin. They were harassed so much before, and were in a state of being weak and unable to catch their opponents. They had no place to suck their strength, so Green Skin held their breath. But now, Green Skin found that they had been fooled, suffered heavy losses but had nothing to gain... With Green Skin's crisis handling ability, it is impossible for them to maintain morale in this situation." Carrie replied. "Didn't we understand this clearly when we pretended to be Green Skin?"

In fact, Carrie was right. When Ashu Rufate was in the Iron Claw Mountains, he didn't know how many such things he saw. When a boss suffered a great defeat, it was almost impossible for them to continue to maintain their original subordinates. The structure of the Greenskin army itself was relatively loose. When the boss could no longer bring victory, his subordinates would leave him without hesitation, establish their own business or follow a rising boss. Because the Greenskins have weak collective ideas, this phenomenon is a phenomenon that will happen anytime and anywhere, and will never happen temporarily because the battle has not been completed.

"The next thing is to let the dwarves guard the critical intersection and let the ogres attack the big green skin... and then we will completely solve this problem. Next... Although the total number of green skins may be tens of thousands, they are sporadic tribes and scattered in a large area. The number of people in these tribes is only a few thousand... In other words, you only need to be cautious and patient, and it is no problem to eliminate them!"

"Now, let us wait patiently for the self-destruction of the Greenskin main force."

...

The Iron Boss climbed to the highest point of the wreckage of the castle, holding the flag of the Iron Tribe in his hand. Of course, according to the unique aesthetic concept of Green Peak, the flag was painted with a rough axe and a bunch of messy things. Judging from the aesthetic concepts of other intelligent races, this flag was really unsightly, but this did not affect the Iron Boss holding his own flag majestic and facing his subordinates at this moment.

In just two days of fighting, the number of troops he was proud of had been greatly reduced. In particular, the light cavalry troops almost completely disappeared from his military appearance. Those heavy-armed boys who could fight and resist also lost almost half of them, most of them were lost in the explosion last night, and the rest were the results of today's siege.

It was already evening, and the sunset shone on the ruins of the castle, on the body of the iron boss.

"Boys, listen!" The old iron master shouted loudly. "We have finally won this battle! The timid dwarves finally chose to commit suicide and buried themselves in the ruins! Now, they are all lying at my feet!" The boss of the iron master let out a victory cry, "This is really a good waaaagh!"

The green-skinned army below the ruins made a roar of victory.

"Next, let's have a good rest tonight and go and clean up the scattered dwarves tomorrow!"

The Greenskins cheered again. Each Greenskin knew that although they had wiped out most of the dwarves, there were still many dwarves left. Not to mention anything else, the damn helicopters above their heads were still lingering like flies.

...

At night, several helicopters flew back to the camp to replenish.

As mentioned before, the dwarf's camp was empty at this time. There were only a few dwarfs left. In order to harass and attack the Greenskin army, all dwarf troops were sent out. Now only when the helicopter fails, they need to return to the camp for repair. However, this kind of work does not require a large group of people, because each dwarf pilot is an engineer, and he is an engineer who is very proficient in mechanical technology (especially helicopters). Besides, wartime maintenance never requires complicated processing and repair, but directly replaces parts.

This is also why Ash Rufate can feel at ease fiddling with these large piles of communication runes there alone. No one here will disturb him now.

The first helicopter landed, and the propeller had not yet stopped, so the pilot who was about to replace had already run to the plane.

"It's not very good." The pilot crawled out of the cockpit said loudly. "The propeller seems to have a little abnormal sound, and it must be checked mechanically. Don't be too anxious - there are at least three planes still above the green-skinned heads." As he said that, he stuffed the communication rune stone at hand into his companion's hands. "I'll go and rest for a while."

Although the dwarves have very good physical fitness and endurance, flying a helicopter is indeed a task that requires a high degree of mental attention and complex operation. Even a dwarf cannot last for a day. Therefore, there are relevant rigid regulations on the use of helicopters, and the driver must be replaced every time they land. The original driver must rest.

"How is the battle?"

"Everything went well, basically following the master's plan. The only small problem is that... it seems that the green skin did not collapse on a large scale. Those green skins are really hard to beat."

Ordinary dwarf soldiers did not realize the subtle changes in the situation at all. How could they notice it? Didn’t everything confirm the Great Founder’s combat plan? Starting from the green-skinned straight into the trap circle of the dwarfs, everything was in the plan.

Of course, some details cannot be achieved, such as killing the Greenskin boss - but which combat plan in this world is perfect? ​​The Greenskin boss was not killed by harassing artillery fire, was not killed by underground explosions, and was not buried by collapsed castles... Such things can only be said to be bad luck.

That's right, according to the combat plan of the Great Founder, after this stage, the green-skinned army will soon disintegrate. Although things have not developed in this direction (at least there are no signs), there is nothing to be afraid of. Since the beginning of this battle, the dwarf army has been intact.

In fact, no matter what kind of race it is, the standards are similar in this regard. Loss of hundreds or thousands is called casualties, and losing two or three is called accidents.

Besides, the Ogre Allies have not participated in the war yet. Everything is within controllable range - at least it seems that's right.

Almost no dwarf realized that at this time, in the center of the camp, in the conference room where Ashu Rufate was located, the actual commander of the entire dwarf army - Carrie - was in a state of shaking.

"The No. 6 helicopter repeats again, and there is no sign of green skin escaping or disintegration." Through the communication rune stone, Ashrufat could clearly hear the sound from the helicopter pilot.

"The second helicopter reported that Greenskin's escape was not found. However, I have discovered that our army squad was on standby on the edge of Greenskin's camp."
