Chapter 269: Siege of Gunbad Peak

As a deposit, a standard dwarven sword was given to Windlow, and then handed over to Mousse.

No matter how open-minded the dwarves are, they will not have any direct contact with the elves.

Although their most proud works are still armor-piercing weapons such as pickaxes, hammers or axes.

However, the Ghal Malaz used by the Dwarf King Kugan (it was the Dwarf King/Kugan, not the Dwarf/King Kugan) was actually a two-handed hammer, but in Sigmar's hands it became a one-handed hammer.

It was obvious that the weapons of the dwarves were not suitable for the elves, so they could only select long swords from the armory to be sold to humans.

It happens to be the type that Mousse likes. Although it is not a meteorite weapon, an obsidian weapon, or a rune weapon, it is still qualified as a combat equipment.

Except for the slight lack of armor-piercing ability, it is overall balanced, integrating offense and defense.

It is worth using to deal with some sneak attacks from greenskins.

Until now, Mousse still believed that the number of greenskins mentioned by the dwarves was not large, and was just a sneak attack team.

And there are many things that are assigned to Windlow to do.

Thanks to the assistance from the Empire, although Skarsnik himself escaped, most of his troops were chased away.

The only remaining enemies were some city defense troops.

The Empire is much more efficient in killing greenskins than dwarves. As the empire's former enemy, the founding emperor Sigmar ascended the throne using the heads of orcs.

The Empire has established a complete set of methods to fight against the greenskin orcs, including how to chase them, how to kill them effectively, and how to curb the reproduction of greenskins in an area.

This also means that there are no greenskin threats in the empire except for beastmen, vampires, dryads, pirates, chaos followers, separatist forces, rebels, cultists, bandits, robbers, and Norscan plunder.

Unlike the Dwarves, they do not have any large-scale Beastmen threat, their only problem being their inability to effectively kill Greenskins.

After all, such a fungus can grow in large numbers in the vast mountains if you don't pay attention.

The Dwarven army had been reorganized, and thanks to the Imperial army led by Gelt, there were no serious losses when they recaptured the Highlands and the Fortress of the World's Edge.

All the troops were organized, and the victories in these two places were great, which attracted many dwarf soldiers from nearby fortresses to join.

The troops were almost fully staffed, marching towards the location of Gunbad Peak.

Even from a distance, Wendlow could feel the wealth of the mountain range. He could see the stones glittering in the sun, which were obviously rich in minerals.

The greenskins must have already settled in the mountain and started smelting steel according to their own method.

Based on this alone, Wendlow could infer that the subsequent siege would not be simple.

The greenskins are definitely large-scale and organized, and most importantly, they have already established a firm foothold.

If you combine this with the character of the dwarves, they will definitely seek the quickest means to seek revenge. This race is even more reckless than the most reckless humans when it comes to revenge.

At present, the outer strongholds of the greenskins have been completely eliminated, and only this last stronghold is left. They will definitely resist to the death, and the difficulty of attacking the city is not low.

At this moment, Wendlow suddenly came up with a great idea! It could not only reduce the dwarves' losses, but also make a fortune for himself.

The troops advanced, and when Mousse finally realized that he had been deceived by the dwarves, the order to prepare for the attack had already been issued.

The axes in the hands of the dwarf warriors are not only sharp weapons for chopping down enemies, but also good at cutting down trees.

In preparation for the upcoming siege, the troops needed to cut down a lot of trees in the surrounding area to use as siege vehicles and siege towers, so that the dwarf soldiers could cross the city walls faster and retake their city.

There are many troops defending the city, almost all of them are goblins, and occasionally some are trolls.

This also meant that they were not like the green-skinned orcs. For the orcs, the first thing they felt when they saw the dwarf troops coming to attack was not panic, but excitement, as they could fight again.

The goblins firmly occupied the city walls and took a defensive attitude, and there was absolutely no chance of them leaving the city gate.

The former dwarf arrow tower has been controlled by the greenskins, who use the various equipment inside it to shoot indiscriminately.

Although the accuracy was questionable, it could still cause damage. In order to wait until the dwarves had some time to attack the city, Windlo suddenly had an idea.

An idea to minimize dwarven casualties.

"High King, I have heard that not only are dwarves' cannons far superior to humans', but dwarves' artillery is also more powerful than humans' artillery. Why don't we make a bet?"

Dwarves are indeed a very conservative race, but when it comes to gambling, they always show a carelessness and madness that is not suitable for their status.

"Let's bet on who can kill more goblins with a trebuchet! The stakes are equal to my own weight in gold."

This bet greatly interested the dwarves. Besides fighting, they would always look for various reasons to prove their strength.

And the stakes were quite high! Although the human named Wendlow was a bit of a liar, humans were definitely not as heavy as dwarves.

But the dwarf was at a slight disadvantage in this matter, as the bet was the two gamblers' own weight in gold.

The next step is to set various rules.

Unlike elves, dwarves must impose various restrictions when making promises to prevent cunning humans from taking advantage of the dwarves.

The number of artillery shells fired by both sides is the same, the artillery support of both sides is the same, and the positions of both sides are also fixed.

After thinking it over and over again that there was no chance that humans could take advantage of this loophole, the bet began.

The dwarves selected the best artillery operator, who had decades of artillery experience. He had almost completely mastered the catapult and even knew the position of every part of it.

With years of combat experience, he can easily hit enemies 500 meters away with stones.

The only pity now is that Windlow is too thin, and there is not much gold of the same weight as him.

As for Windlow, he has to start using human ingenuity.

Take out a pen and paper, do some simple calculations on the various data of the dwarf trebuchet, then request a test shot and calculate the parabola and parabola angle.

"Can you raise it a little in the front? I'm not used to it."

Faced with this requirement, the dwarves certainly knew that their trebuchets were more suitable for their height, and humans were indeed too tall.

He blew his beard to indicate that it was okay, and asked Windlow to raise the front of the catapult a little.

"Okay, I'm ready, the referee can start counting!"
