Chapter 114: The Great Collapse
Chapter 114: The Great Collapse
Compared with the traditions of the dwarves, Uther, the dwarf prince, obviously knew what he wanted.
To take back the land of his ancestors and regain his power as king, his head was obviously too eager to wear the crown that belonged to the king.
Because of this, cooperating with the elves and temporarily destroying Red Eye Mountain seem to be acceptable things.
In just that instant, it seemed that after taking one more look at Windlow, Prince Uther's mind suddenly became clear.
Many times, even some necessary traditions do not need to be fully followed.
Following his lead, the other dwarves also agreed to this suggestion.
They don't need the so-called throne of the king. Windlow only needs to spread the news that the green-skinned orcs of Red Eye Mountain are likely to attack to make most of the dwarves compromise.
For those who are really unwilling to compromise, there are also dwarf rangers to persuade them.
As the dwarf army on the front line, the mountain rangers must be most aware that the number of green-skinned orcs can no longer be suppressed, and a huge waaagh war may break out at any time.
Mousse had no objection. After all, the dark elves' favorite things were war and plunder, whether it was fighting personally or instigating fighting.
Of course, Windlow agreed, as this plan was the one he first proposed and fully confirmed.
There was only one person in the entire Karak Kadrin Fortress who disagreed, or rather, only one thing that disagreed.
The unicorn disagreed with the plan.
As the smartest animal, the unicorn, whose IQ far exceeds that of Pegasus and Griffins, realized at the first moment that something was wrong.
Everyone agreed to transport explosives to cause the Red Eye Mountain to collapse, so wouldn't they become the animals transporting the explosives?
It’s not about whether the food is heavy or not. I have eaten so much and enjoyed so many benefits, so it’s only right that I put in some effort.
But transporting explosives is more or less inappropriate.
It knows that this thing is extremely dangerous. If a little spark occurs during transportation, it will become a barbecue.
I followed Windlow to save my life, not to lose it.
As long as he agreed to carry the explosives, a small spark would immediately send him into space, and he might be able to return to the forests of Bretonnia in a few days.
Windlow obviously saw the unicorn's fear, and in front of it he picked up a dwarf iron bucket filled with black gunpowder and then inserted a fuse into it.
Then the lid of the iron barrel was opened and facing another direction, and Windlow stood behind the iron barrel of explosives.
The dwarfs' stuff is of decent quality, and without a confined space, gunpowder is just a fireworks show.
Terrible light and heat will only burst out in one direction.
As the fuse was lit, Unicorn quickly looked at Windlow, who was standing less than three meters behind the iron barrel of explosives without moving at all.
In this case, the unicorn did not move and just stood there.
The fuse had burned out, and just as Windlow had initially expected, the flames in the barrel, in the absence of pressure and confined space, shot out a terrible stream of destructive fluid towards the opening of the barrel.
This is equivalent to a basic musket that only attacks forward.
The power of gunpowder is indeed there, and the ground at the opening of the iron barrel has been completely burned black.
It is indeed safe. Except for the opening, other parts are not affected at all. It's just that the ground near the iron barrel is a little hot.
Only then did the Unicorn agree to carry such a large bundle of explosives and slowly walked towards the location of Red Eye Mountain under the guidance of the others.
As expected of a species that has achieved a perfect balance between intelligence and physical strength, in just one day, Windlow, Mousse and the Unicorn had already reached the designated location.
According to the stress analysis and collapse estimate, such a bundle of explosives had already been buried by Windlow into the mountains through drilling.
At the same time, in order to produce greater power, special parallel fuses are designed to ensure that all explosives can explode at the same time.
Avoid a situation where the first explosive to explode destroys the other explosives.
As all the explosives were buried, it was already noon, the time of the day with the best weather and the most sunshine.
The greenskins and goblins have already left the cave and all come outside to bask in the sun. This is the time when they are most unguarded and most relaxed.
Right now, detonate.
Of course, Mousse wanted to experience this new thing and see what kind of damage the dwarf's explosives could cause.
Hundreds of explosions sounded at the same time, followed by a ground-shaking explosion.
The two who had already run to a safe area looked down the mountain, and Mousse's eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
A landslide of this magnitude would require a magician who had been trained for hundreds of years to cause such damage.
But Windlow, a guy who had not studied magic for a long time, relied solely on the power of gunpowder and only one morning of preparation to create such terrible destructive power.
If this power is used on the Black Ark, will it increase the power of resistance?
Gunpowder, it's amazing and should be learned instead of thinking it's meaningless dwarven stuff.
"Hey, Mousse, look."
Following Windlow's words, Mousse also pulled his attention away from his thoughts and focused his gaze on the mountain below.
It was obvious that the greenskins and goblins had never encountered such a situation before, and the entire Red Eye Mountain seemed to have collapsed in half.
Large pieces of rubble fell from the sky, smashing the greenskins and goblins who had no time to dodge into meat paste.
Coupled with the continuous landslides rolling down the mountain, most of the greenskins were completely buried in the soil.
Although this can kill the greenskins, it undoubtedly also lays a hidden danger for the future.
Because greenskins and goblins are spore creatures, if they are buried in the soil, a new greenskin will grow out of the ground in a few years at most.
Of course, Windlow took this into consideration, so he chose to detonate the explosives when the greenskins were in an open area.
Although we can take advantage of the cover of night and catch all the greenskins while they are still sleeping in the mountains.
But if we really do this, it won’t be long before the area under Red Eye Mountain is covered with newly grown green skin, which will be impossible to clean up.
As the landslide continued, the morale of the greenskins and goblins slowly recovered.
In the green tide, a huge guy with a black body roared at all the green-skinned guys present.
They had recovered from the chaos and figured out the direction of the landslide. Now there was only one way left for them to escape.
The green tide was all heading west, the only way out of the Worlds Edge Mountains and towards Karak Kadrin.
It was also the location of the ambush by the dwarf warriors led by Uther.
