Chapter 864: Zuwasa
If the Eagle's Nest sealed the overland access to Hinterland, then Zuwasa locked the throats of the Hammer Dwarves, preventing them from penetrating deep into this vast area.
Compared to Cynsaro, which surrounds the mountains, the majestic Altar of Zur, and Shadraro, which houses the spider demigod Shadra, which is worshipped by the trolls, Zuwasa is a small city.
The small city is also a city, in order to guard against the Brute Hammer Dwarves Evil Branch Trolls stationed here can be a lot of troops, with the strength of the Wild Hammer tribe, even if they pour out of the nest in a short period of time, they will not be able to capture Zuvasha, and the prolongation of the battle will give the Evil Branch Trolls time to react, and when a large number of Evil Branch Trolls come over, the Hammer Dwarves will have to retreat if they are unwilling.
This is not the first time this has happened since the Wildhammer Dwarves moved to Eagle's Nest Mountain and clashed with the trolls, and Zuwasa is a small city that the Wildhammer Dwarves hate with each other.
Whether it was for the sake of removing the threat of the trolls of the Evil Branch, or for the purpose of opening up the inner passage into Hinterland, Zuvasha was the target that the Hammer Dwarves had to cut off.
Without the help of external forces, the Hammer Dwarves will not know how long it will take to achieve their goal of capturing Zuwasa, but with external forces, it is different.
Ask Kadros when Zuwasa will be captured, and the Dwarven Prince will tell you: Today, today!
Looking at the external force that the Brute Hammer Clan has obtained, the strong wood-throated bear monster, not to mention, Leo, a demigod alone, is enough to slaughter Zuwasa.
Speaking of which, Hinterland's recent tensions have nothing to do with Leo, as the Evil Branch Trolls moved before the Amani Trolls migrated, as the spider demigod Shadra they worshipped suddenly disappeared one day and never returned to Shadralo.
The priest of the troll of the Evil Branch discovered that Shadra was dead after several investigations, and the demigod he worshiped was actually dead, which made the trolls extremely angry.
It is impossible for Shadra to die of natural causes, and the only explanation is that someone killed it.
If there was a motive to kill Shadra, the Hammer Dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain were undoubtedly the most suspicious, and who had them keep fighting the trolls of the Evil Branch?
The Hammer Dwarves who originally hated and wanted to snatch Hinterland from their hands, coupled with such an incident, the leader of the Evil Branch Trolls made up his mind to eradicate the Hammer Dwarves regardless of losses, even if there were heavy casualties.
Taking advantage of this, the leader of the Evil Branch tribe instigated the trolls to fight and launched several large-scale attacks on Eagle's Nest Mountain.
Although the losses of the evil branch trolls in these battles are not small, the Brute Hammer Dwarves are not easy.
The most dangerous time was when the Eagle's Nest Mountain was slaughtered by three troll witch doctors leading an army to the gate at the foot of the mountain, and almost breached the city gate.
It was these attacks of the Evil Branch Trolls that made Cardros decide to join the Alliance, anyway, now that so many years have passed since the Battle of the Three Hammers, the little between the Brute Hammer tribe and the Copperbeard tribe has almost disappeared, and the dwarves of the two tribes have long been in contact, and there is no obstacle.
For now, it is not a bad thing for the Hammer Dwarves to join the Alliance, Leo's birth has greatly increased the strength of the Alliance, and this demigod warlock has promised to help them capture Zuvasha and solve the threat of the Evil Branch Trolls.
With a ten-meter-high stone wall and several irregular arrow tower-like buildings, this is the city defense of Zuwasa.
Leo pursed his lips, this Zuwasa doesn't look very good, the Brute Hammer tribe can't attack it, could it be that there is still something mysterious in this city?
As if to see Leo's doubts, Branigan leaned over to him and explained: "Brother Leo, don't underestimate Zuwasa, this city is inconspicuous on the surface, but the trolls here will summon some very troublesome things, which can make people have a headache. But you're at their end, hehe. ”
It turned out that it was because of the summon, so it made sense.
The arrival of the dwarven armies cast a shadow over Zuwasa, and the city's trolls reacted with little to it.
In fact, it is not surprising that anyone who has lived in a city where several offensive and defensive battles take place every year for a long time will become numb to war.
War?
If you want to fight, you can fight, and it's not like you haven't seen it.
Probably this is the state of mind of the trolls of Zuvasha at this time.
Standing on the stone wall, ready to thwart the Hammer Dwarves once more, the Evil Branch Trolls would not have imagined that this battle would be very different from the previous ones.
The reason why the small city of Zuwasa has not been captured is not because the Hammer Dwarves are not strong, nor because the Evil Branch Trolls are too powerful, but because the Hammer tribe has more warriors and fewer mages.
The entire Eagle's Nest Mountain was full of lively warriors, but the dwarven mages could barely see it.
Without a mage, it would be difficult for a warrior to quickly capture a city in a world where magic, voodoo, summoning and other abilities exist.
Leo's arrival made up for the shortcomings of the Brute Hammer Clan, don't look at him as just a person, the strength of the demigods must not be judged by numbers.
Pointing to the walls of Zuwasa, Leo said to the Hammer Dwarves, "Branigan, I haven't thanked you for your hospitality yesterday, and that wall will be my return gift. ”
What does it mean to return the favor with the walls of Zuwasa?
Before Branigan could react, a hill-like meteorite fell from the sky with raging flames, and it would fall 100% and crash into the stone wall full of trolls.
Seeing the large meteorite that smashed in, the evil branch trolls on the stone wall panicked.
Where did the Hammer Dwarves get such a powerful mage?
The meteorite fell so fast that it fell before the trolls could react.
Rumble!
The walls collapsed and the ground trembled.
The walls of Zuwasa have fallen!
Flames spread rapidly along the buildings in Zuwasa, and the trolls of the trolls who had fallen into the flames let out a cry of pain.
There is a good saying, when the weather is dry, you have to be careful with the candle.
The place of Hinterland is full of plants, and it is the season when the leaves fall and the grass is dry, and the fire is instantaneous, and the flames carried by meteorites are out of control once they spread.
If there were mages among the trolls who could control the fire even if they couldn't extinguish it, they didn't. The witch doctor's voodoo technique is extremely powerful, and it is used to extinguish fires with two words - waste.
Zuvasha was a small city after all, and although the trolls had taken some precautions against fire, it was pointless in the face of the spells cast by a demigod sorcerer, and the fire soon spread to half of the city.
Looking at the troll struggling in the flames, Branigan spat and pointed at Zuwasa and laughed.
"I love your return gift so much."
Zuwasa has caused a lot of trouble for the Hammer tribe, it is the bridgehead for the trolls to prevent the Hammer Dwarves from controlling Hinterland, and the number of Hammer Dwarves who die every year because of this city is as few as a few hundred or thousand, and now seeing that it is about to be burned by Leo, how can Branigan not be happy?
Cardros smiled when he saw that he had breached the walls of Zuwasa so easily, but the Dwarven Prince, unlike Branigan, was not overjoyed.
In the perennial tug-of-war between the Hammer tribe and the trolls around Zuvasha, it was not uncommon for the walls to be breached, and there were more than one such cases, but in the end, the trolls still relied on witchcraft to hold the Hammer Dwarves in their hands until Cynsaro's army of trolls arrived, forcing the Hammer Dwarves to retreat.
"Until the moment when you really capture Zuwasa, you must not relax!"
Kadros reminded his people loudly that the lessons of his repeated failed attacks on Zuwasha had taught him that the trolls still had a chance to turn the tables around.
Seeing that Zuwasa in the fire could no longer be saved, the trolls of the evil branch did not show any affection, and they resolutely withdrew from the city under the leadership of several troll witch doctors.
A meteorite spell didn't scare the trolls, and they retreated to fight the Hammer Dwarves outside Zuvasha, and the earth-shattering shouts of slaughter resounded through the Zuvasha sky.
The battle between the Hammer Dwarves and the Trolls of the Evil Branch has once again begun.
Lagrol motioned to the people behind him, and the bear shamans unleashed spell after spell, and dozens of phantoms of totem poles appeared in the ranks of the Hammer Dwarves, blessing the latter with one buff after another.
At the same time, a group of wood-throated bears roared and rushed forward, and the strong and powerful bears charged like tanks with full horsepower, and under their impact, the formation of the evil branch trolls was quickly swept to pieces, and if it weren't for the fact that several troll witch doctors were sitting in the rear, the trolls would have been routed long ago.
In this battle, Branigan was assigned to Leo's side by Cardulos' death order, and the Hammer Dwarves were tickling their hearts as they looked at the battlefield in front of them. However, the patriarch had an order, and he couldn't do it if he didn't listen to it, so he could only obediently start Leo's follower.
"See those witch doctors with voodoo masks, it's these scum that keep us from conquering this big fart place, pay attention, those scum are going to summon ......"
If you don't enjoy it in your hands, you can always do it in your mouth, right?
Thinking of this, Branigan's mouth has not stopped since the war, but fortunately, although there will inevitably be a scratch in his words, it is not all nonsense.
The troll witch doctor was chanting spells, and with Leo's strength he could interrupt the other party's summons if he wanted to, but who made Leo curious about the summons that had repeatedly repelled the Hammer Dwarves, and he wouldn't waste the opportunity to gain knowledge if he wanted to find out.
"Whew......"
A wolf howl was heard in the distance, and at the call of the troll witch doctor, many groups of creatures in the vicinity of Zuwasa ran over to join in the fun, and the wolves were the first to arrive.
These weren't ordinary wolves, they were silver-sideburned wolves comparable to those of the warriors.
There are quite a few wolf packs, and the vastness of Hinterland is enough to feed a large wolf pack composed of tens of thousands of silver sideburns, and in the face of such a wolf pack attack, the Brute Hammer tribe has at least 20,000 to 30,000 warriors to meet it.
"The silver mans wolf is okay, but the most annoying thing is those spider ......"
Before Branigan could finish his sentence, spiders the size of a basin poured in from all directions, poisonous silk weaving into sticky webs in the battlefield.
Playing with spiders?
I'm good at that.
Leo snapped his fingers, and the spider monsters, thousands of meters long, screamed and surged towards the spiders.
When they encountered the spider monsters, the spiders that came were stunned, and they shrank into a ball in fright one by one, trembling.
A smile finally bloomed on Kadros's face, the overall situation was decided, and the fall of Zuwasa was inevitable.
