Chapter Five Hundred and Nine: Arrive at Stormwind Pass [Taal]
It took a day more to go back than when I came here;
After all, you don’t need to prepare here, and you can immediately start fighting when you arrive at the place;
The barbarians were much more complicated, including food, siege equipment, soldiers, and young nobles who Taal speculated to be involved in the battle;
Anyway, it will be slower than my own.
Even so, the speed of these thousands of people traveling was one point faster than Tal.
Tarr felt that it was not easy to speculate how anxious these people were when they came; perhaps the dark circles were just one of the manifestations.
Near noon, the valley entrance, which was several times wider than the other side of Chuyuguan, finally caught Tar's eyes.
"Hehe, although this is a pass and Shuyu Pass, it is much different in scale!" The dolphin proudly stretched out his arm and pointed at the entrance of the valley, "You will soon see the most majestic building among the entire Koric tribe!"
The dolphin was talking, and a row of people not wearing leather armor came out of the valley. If you look closely, these people seemed to not even wear too much clothes;
...And it seems that they are all women?
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"What's wrong?" Taal's mouth twitched. Did this guy see something very terrible?
"Why did these people leave so quickly..." The dolphin clenched his fists, looking as sad as if he had worked hard to hit a rabbit and was taken away by an eagle: "These women who came to the pass... only came one group a month, stayed for five days at a time..."
Did this guy completely miss the moment he led the team to support him? That was really miserable... Tal patted his shoulder - but to be honest, Tal couldn't understand how sad this guy was.
The soldiers behind him looked very sighing at this moment. Some of them were excited and beat their legs, hating that they couldn't run faster.
Of course, the riot did not last long, and the team quickly continued to move forward and arrived at the valley entrance.
The "gukou" here is much spacious than the one at Chuyuguan.
Unlike Shuyu Pass, the "pass" here is not built on a cliff, but on a "flat ground" between the ridges;
If the barbarian wants to attack, he will be able to rush directly to the front of the Storm "Pause" without climbing the cliff.
Yes; after Tal saw the scale of the Storm "Pause", he felt that this place was not very similar to a serious pass.
Generally speaking, the levels are composed of one wall - just like the one in the valley of Silence; the four walls of the Shura Pass are already quite different.
And Storm Pass...Tar felt that this was a city built between valleys.
Even though the dolphin had already introduced Storm Pass before, Taal still felt shocked now - after all, logic is, this kind of building can only be seen on the barbarian;
Especially the towering city wall, the city tower above the city wall, or the huge plaque hanging below the city tower with the words "Storm Pass" written on the wall, all give Taal a sense of déjà vu.
"This city wall has been renovated in recent years. I was just born when it was started." Dolphin continued to explain to Tar, "In order to repair the place, the previous big leader, "Sperm Whale", sent someone to the barbarian and caught a few people who could repair the city wall. I really don't know how he found those people;"
No wonder……
"By the way, when I first came here, those old men were still alive and were locked in a small dark room all day long for those who failed to fall to regain their 'self-confidence';" Dolphin said, rolling their eyes here, "They have all died in these years... It's also a kind of relief."
...This is too miserable.
The reason why it is called "city wall" is because it surrounds the entire camp - it is completely different from the side walls like Chuyuguan, and the side walls here are not much inferior to the back wall, and protect the camp very comprehensively.
Naturally, people here will not waste labor and materials; there is indeed a threat on both sides of the camp.
The threat comes from the rock walls on both sides of the valley.
Unlike the roughly stable mountain structure on the other side of Chuyu Pass, it has not been said to be stable since the establishment of the pass;
Even if the rock walls on both sides are uneasy without storms, no one knows how big the stone will roll down from the top of the mountain;
In the early years, the barbarians specially sent people to watch the situation on both sides of the valley. Once there was a large-scale rock collapse, they would immediately report it to the critical city, and then the critical city would send troops to take the opportunity to attack;
This tactic has indeed achieved many results in history. The most brilliant one directly broke through the zenith defense line and loaded into the history of both sides - of course, it was finally driven back by the Green Sea Plain at all costs.
That battle left a long psychological shadow on the people of the Green Sea Plain; if the supply line had not been cut off in time and the enemy had not yet established a stable foothold, there might have been several more marquises and counts in the western border at this time.
In order to avoid such a situation from happening again, the defenses on both sides were also put on the agenda.
The side walls are at a certain distance from the valley - of course, the road conditions in this gap are not good at all, and are completely made of uneven gravel; generally speaking, if any rocks on the mountain collapse, they will be blocked by the wall - at most, they will cause some damage to the wall;
Taal roughly estimated that if the barbarians planned to use the same trick again, most of the collapsed stones would be blocked by the city wall; if the amount of rocks falling from Chuyu Pass was equal, it would probably be almost impossible to affect the city.
This is just a matter of considering the situation of stones; in fact, the soldiers of Storm Pass usually use stones to supplement the city walls under the rock wall. Over time, a buffer slope opposite to the rock wall has appeared directly below the rock wall. If there is a rock falling, they will usually fill a pit;
If the fire magic bottle is really detonated, a considerable number of rockfalls will be offset.
If you want to destroy Storm Pass, you must have the destructive power of the Black Dragon's breath; in this way, the barbarian should not have any previous bad thoughts.
"Hehe, Chief Tal is quite satisfied with this place? Are you interested in staying here for a while?" The dolphin rubbed his palms, "The soldiers will feel refreshed just by seeing you!"
I'm not a totem...Tal complained in his heart.
Then, go into the city as soon as possible. Tarr thought so and walked towards Storm Pass;
However, as soon as he took a few steps, a shrill wail of the monster came out of the pass;
The sound was so scattering that Tar had goosebumps all over.
