Section 9 Appointment

Gao Trek?? Starbreaker, Karaz - the ruler of Karak, the supreme king of the dwarf, stood above the shield and looked at the shooting range in the distance. The four most loyal personal guards shouldered the shield, and his guards were guarding around him.

Although the Supreme King did not go to the battlefield this time, all the Hammer Warriors were still very serious in the battle formation, without any noise, and were peacefully with their monarch. The only difference was that they did not hold their weapons in their hands at this moment.

Several figures appeared in the distance. The Supreme King recognized that they were Ashurufate, Karaz, the big wine merchant, Monopoly in the city of Karak, and the new founder of the Engineers Association.

Ashurufat came to the Supreme King and knelt on one knee like a traditional ritual.

"Master Ashrufate," the Supreme King was wearing armor at this moment, with a serious expression, holding a huge sword in his hand. For the dwarves, although battle axes and war hammers are their favorites, swords are also a common weapon. There are not many dwarves holding long swords on the battlefield, but there are always some mavericks who will do this, especially the young dwarves.

"I have seen the fruits of your work." The Supreme King looked at the sword. "From this weapon, I see the hatred burning in your heart. I see your courage and determination, and your unwavering will. I admit that I underestimate you. What is your name for this sword?"

"Green Skin Calamity." Ash Rufate replied. In fact, he wanted to say "Sword of Withering", but in the end he still thought it would be better to give another name.

"A good name, this is a good sword, I only saw it in my life." The Supreme King turned and turned and looked at the latest chapter of this sword. The sword was painted with some mysterious rune symbols, and you can clearly see that there were subtle energy jumping between these symbols. Even by the standards of a dwarf, this sword is also a peerless magic weapon. And such a sword was created by this young great founder within a few days. This must have been Grenjini, the god of the dwarf, who injected his great power into the great founder. Besides, what else can be explained?

The Supreme King raised his sword with one hand and slapped Ashrufate on the shoulder with his sword body.

"Ashrufate, I now appoint you as a general, and I will entrust you to defeat Greenskin and recover the peninsula to you!" He looked around Ashrufate, and it was obvious that because the news of the Supreme King's arrival was very sudden, Ashrufate was only accompanied by several members of the Association of Engineers. "I agree with your request to allow you to recruit volunteers in my army. In addition, I am willing to share some of the military expenditure."

The Supreme King paused for a moment, perhaps he felt that such support was not enough. "I am willing to lend you my guards. They will use everything they have to protect you, just as they have protected me."

...

As all the residents of Karaz-Karak expected, at the end of the autumn of this year, the Supreme King appointed the young great casting master Ashrufate as general, leading seven thousand dwarf soldiers to launch an expedition to recover the peninsula.

This level of military force is generally considered to be far from enough to complete this task. Because even ordinary dwarf civilians have a vague understanding of the number of greenskins on the western peninsula. Because every few years, a huge greenskin army will swarm out of the peninsula and pounce on the dwarf territory. From this point of view, it is really a very brave and stupid thing for this great founder to dare to launch a war with such a meager army. Many people have heard of the motive of Ashrufate leading his army to fight, so this army is generally called the "Avengers Legion".

The Avengers Legion commanded by Ashu Rufate is a unique expeditionary force. This refers not only to the number of people, but also to its composition. Unlike the ordinary dwarf army, the Avengers Legion is not large in number, but it is very well-equipped. This army has a lot of engineers, and more than two-thirds of the soldiers are musketeers or war machinery operators. This is because this expedition itself was launched by the Engineers Association, and they naturally devoted all their efforts to this war. In addition to Ashu Rufate, six great casters devoted themselves to the war without hesitation, serving as deputy generals, staff members and logistics officers.

Compared with the long-range troops with a strong lineup, the melee troops of this army seemed to be very small. However, with the help of the Supreme King, Ashurufat successfully gathered some elite soldiers. Most of these soldiers survived the defeat of Karak Grom. In addition, some butcher warriors heard about the expedition and spontaneously gathered under the banner of the Great Founder. In particular, the Great Founder Naragrim. Because he blamed himself for not helping Prince Hoga defend Karak Grom, the Great Founder finally trimmed his hair and beard, dyed it orange, and stabbed blue tattoos on all parts of his body to cover his unhappy body, and joined the butcher ranks.

The great caster Ash Rufate chose a red dragon-shaped pattern as the flag of the legion. For the dwarves, this is a very unusual pattern. The more conservative dwarves generals will use the flag of their tribe. If the general has a casual personality, they will choose a limited pattern, usually with hammers, anvils, wine barrels, beer mugs, etc. full of dwarf style patterns.

However, this matter is not worth being surprised. Many dwarves know the inside story of this matter - this pattern actually belongs to the vampire of Sivania. The elder founder's brother was unfortunately killed in the previous battle of Karak-Grom. In order to commemorate this huge damage, the elder founder used this flag in turn to remind himself to never forget this hatred.

...

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" someone was shouting.

However, this warning is redundant. The crowd automatically separates a vacant, causing the helicopter to land smoothly. These dwarves have long known the performance of gyro helicopters - they were originally members of the Association of Engineers and are very familiar with this kind of thing.

The pilot came out of the helicopter and the hours of flight made him look a little tired.

"How is it?" someone asked. "Are there any whereabouts of green skin found here?"

"There is no Zhengshang Gong of the Tang Dynasty." The driver replied. "I'm pretty sure there is no Greenskin Operation nearby."

This is not outrageous news, because this place is the edge of the dwarf's actual control line. If it weren't for the ambitious "", the Green Skin would not have easily approached this area. Because there is a possibility of being ruthlessly attacked by the dwarves here. The dwarf's powerful firepower left in Green Skin's heart was deeply impressed.

"Very good, it seems that our operation to build supply points will not be affected in any way." The dwarf replied with satisfaction. This time, the Engineers Association could be said to have taken out the bottom line, so the Avengers carried a large amount of equipment and supplies. These things are reliable guarantees during battles and a huge burden during marching. As a compromise plan, the great casting master Ashrufate decided to build a supply stronghold on the border to store excess supplies so that the army could operate flexibly.

In the initial combat plan he set, they will follow the principle of step by step to sweep green skins from one area to another, and by continuously building such supply points, they will steadily transport materials to the front line. This supply point will become the basis for the entire expedition, so it must be built into a military fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Fortunately, the Engineers Association could not lack civil engineers. The relevant construction plan was completed soon. The person responsible for the design and construction here was Roin, the one who failed to compete with Asu Rufate for the title of Great Founder before. He also responded to the call of the Engineers Association and joined the Avengers. However, although he did not get the title of Great Founder, he generally did not think he had failed. Everyone believes that his ability and talent are worthy of this title, just because there are no vacancy at present. In fact, if Asu Rufate's "Dragon Terminator" was too excellent, too creative and artistic, Roin should have stood in that position.

However, through this evaluation, this uncrowned founder has been regarded as the leader in civil engineering in the Engineers Association, and even an excellent engineer second only to Naragrim. Under his command, the civil engineering construction of the supply point is very rapid, and it is invincible in appearance, defense and storage capacity. According to the construction idea of ​​the "new fortress defense system", after completion, it will have a strong defense. Through the use of various clever steam-powered machinery, only one hundred guards are needed, and they can easily repel thousands of green-skin attacks. At the same time, in order to reconnaise the enemy situation, a helicopter will be equipped and a repair workshop for repairing weapons and equipment will be built.

Although the Supreme King did not provide many soldiers, at least he could provide a lot of money and supplies. In addition, Ashu Rufate himself generously donated money, so the Avengers did not have to worry about expenses at all. They could build according to the highest standards and use a large amount of luxury equipment such as steam drills to conduct rapid excavation.

In the human world, the use of steam engines is just a prototype. However, in the dwarf country, steam engines have become very common. For example, helicopters or steam drills are excellent works of lightweight steam engines. Of course, to be honest, this is entirely due to the Engineers Association.

According to the scheduled plan, the great founder Miklesco will be responsible for the defense and operation of this supply center. This is a very heavy responsibility, which means that Miklesco must be responsible for the safety of the entire transportation route from Karaz-Karak to the supply center. He must also be responsible for the defense measures of the supply center itself to avoid being attacked by Greenskin. Because if it is captured by Greenskin, it means that the Avengers' Legion's combat will basically be declared failure.

Therefore, although this is a logistical task, the responsibility is very important. Miklesco is responsible for this work and will never be considered cowardly or "hiding behind". He will use extremely limited manpower to ensure the huge consumption of the front line legions.

Almost no one would doubt this regard. Because the main combat power of the entire Avengers legion is not infantry, but long-range troops. The entire legion is equipped with a large number of war machinery and musketeers far exceeding the normal proportion. This means that this legion is an army mainly based on long-range firepower, not a force that relies on hand-to-hand combat. Although many engineers are confident in their equipment and firepower, some veterans are worried about it. Because they know that once they are attacked by Greenskin, they may not be able to withstand it.

Of course, the general of the Legion, the great casting master Ashu Rufate, is not within this range.

"Everyone." At the military meeting after the completion of the supply center construction, Ashu Rufate introduced his planned tactics in a confident tone. "I named this tactic 'Death Trap'.":nb
