"Stanley, do you know much about goblins? Do you know where there are goblins who can make alchemical bombs?"

When Stanley heard this, he immediately understood Li De's thoughts and said with a subtle expression.

"Goblins are a kind of dwarf-like creature. They have very smart minds, but their bodies are very weak, and they cannot even compare with human children of eleven or twelve years old.

But their intelligence is higher than that of ordinary humans, and they are very keen on studying alchemical items.

Among them, the alchemy bomb is their representative.

However, goblins rarely appear in the surface world, and the habitat of these creatures is more in the underground world."

After speaking, Stanley shook his head, "As for the goblins who can make alchemical bombs, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't know the whereabouts of any goblins."

Goblins have always been mysterious and rarely appear on the surface. The Dark Pact and the Church of the Evening Bell have nothing to do with these underground lives.

Li De nodded slightly, not surprised by this, but a word Stanley said reminded him.

Underground world.

He suddenly remembered the passage leading to the underground world in the Valley of the Giants.

Corso and the others came from the underground world, but he has never forgotten that mysterious world.

However, because the City of Dawn is still in the stage of rapid development and construction in all aspects requires a large amount of resources, he has never had the energy or time to explore the world shrouded in fog.

In addition, because of the lack of strength in the past, the City of Dawn was far from as powerful as it is now, so he never further developed this legendary and extremely rich land.

The underground world is no different than the surface. The level of danger is more than ten times higher than the surface.

Dark creatures are rampant, and violent and murderous evil beings can be seen everywhere. Every life in the underground world is a predator in the shadows. The creatures that survive on that land have only two purposes, to become stronger and to survive.

The Thunder tribe where Corso, a level 16 bronze cyclops, once belonged had hundreds of powerful cyclops, and even the chieftain who reached level 19 was a terrifying existence close to the extraordinary.

But even such a powerful tribe could not survive peacefully. The chief of the Thunder Tribe, Corso's father, encountered a deadly enemy, the black dragon, in the swamp where the Thunder Tribe lived.

This level 19 Cyclops was seriously injured and killed by the black dragon. The powerful Thunder tribe was forced to migrate. Corso and his brother came to the surface after they could not compete for the position of chief.

There are even gold-level creatures like black dragons. You can imagine how exaggerated this world is. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of crises.

That's why Li Decai didn't rush to explore. When he didn't have enough strength, he might not be able to gain much benefit. On the contrary, if he encountered a terrifying creature like a black dragon, it would be a lot of fun.

"Is it possible that Lisle City discovered an underground world like us, and then opened trade with the underground world and got the support of the goblins, and then developed in the past few years?" Li De said thoughtfully.

"As for the orcs, they don't necessarily want the goblins. They may have discovered traces of the underground world. They attacked Lisle City for greater interests."

Although there is no proof point for this idea, Li De couldn't help but think more about it.

He can get the Cyclops, why can't a big force like Lisle City, which has been cultivating this land for thousands of years, establish trade relations with the underground world?

After hearing this inference, Harrison thought thoughtfully.

"If this is the case, then the orcs' purpose may be more complicated this time."

Stanley shook his head, "Your Majesty, although most of the goods traded in Lisle City bear traces of goblins, there are not many items from the underground world circulating.

However, goblins are originally beings in the underground world, so perhaps the young Lord of Lisle City has mastered the entrance to the underground world.

All this requires more information to support our judgment."

Li De nodded, "Yes, no matter whether the orcs' goal is to attack Green City or whether the original goal is Lisle City,

Or perhaps they came for the goblins and the possible underground world.

These are our inferences based on the information currently available and cannot be used as evidence.

Harrison, you ask the think tank at City Hall to analyze the possibilities and come up with at least three sets of response plans for each possibility."

The think tank was composed of the most intelligent and imaginative staff members selected by Harrison from City Hall.

Its members include Harrison, Nicole, Amy, second-generation blood descendants Augustine, Ivy, and three third-generation descendants, plus twelve very smart humans.

These people may have flexible minds and divergent thinking, or may have broad vision and far-sightedness, or may have rich experience and sophisticated skills, or may have a strong view of the overall situation. Everyone has their own strengths.

But everyone has a common advantage and wisdom.

This is much like the staff departments in the armies of various countries on the earth, or the think tanks in major companies.

Even Li De is planning to use the current think tank to build a future information command center and integrate all the forces under his command.

Harrison nodded solemnly.

"Yes, patriarch."

"Also, we can't just waste time like this. You should immediately notify the Dark Pact and let them mobilize all resources and channels to find out about Lisle City, the alchemy bomb, the goblins and the underground world.

You can publish a large number of related mercenary missions in the name of fighting the orcs to get more news about the goblins."

"At the same time, keep in touch with Craig and ask him to pass on more information. Being in the orc army and with a level 16 combat capability, he will definitely be able to get more information."

After Li De rationalized his thoughts, he directly issued the order, "In addition, let the Scarlet Mage Tower go to Green City's upper-class nobles to explore all information about Lisle City.

We have only two goals, alchemy bombs and goblins."

The huge power of the alchemy bomb gave him a big surprise. It didn't matter that he had no chance to contact it before, but now, it seemed that an opportunity was within reach right in front of him.

If he doesn't fight for it, it would be very inconsistent with his character who likes to take the initiative.

Just like the mithril veins in the Dwarf Valley, this is the sweet fruit that he took the initiative and used all the power of the City of Dawn to snatch it from the mouths of the orcs.

If you want to survive and develop, you must occupy more living space. This has nothing to do with good, evil and justice. It is a competition between races for survival resources.

No one can avoid it.

Although the current production efficiency of the mithril veins in the Dwarf Valley is not high, as long as he is given a certain amount of time to accumulate, Li De can definitely guarantee that his top combat power will be equipped with extraordinary equipment forged from mithril.

This means that the power in his hands will be greatly improved, and the blade of top combat power will be sharper.

The attack on the Dwarf Valley greatly increased the foundation of the City of Dawn. Not only did it create an additional vein of precious mithril, but it also allowed him to extend his tentacles into the barren wasteland and rule an exaggerated number of orc tribes.

In the same way, the same goes for the Goblin Bomb this time. With this powerful Goblin Bomb paired with the Magic Bat, the aerial power in his hands will be qualitatively improved.

At that time, not only the vampires can participate in the war, but he can even cultivate the magic bat cavalry to allow humans to participate in the war.

The grassroots strength of Dawn City will increase explosively.

He just covets alchemy bombs, for no extra reason.

If it were before, even if he knew that Lisle City might have a secret channel for trading with goblins, or simply control a group of goblins, he wouldn't think much about it.

Because a large city with a population of 500,000 and a fully equipped army cannot be accommodated by the current city of Dawn, which has a population of barely 20,000.

But it's different now.

The orcs are coming.

This group of aliens has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, and their goal is this city.

Only when the water is muddy can you catch fish; only when cranes and clams compete with each other can the fishermen profit.

Although everything about the goblins and Lisle City is still just speculation, the temptation of the alchemical bomb is like the mithril vein, which makes him invest a lot of money to confirm the authenticity of the matter.

He will not miss any opportunity to increase the power of Dawn City.

"Yes, patriarch.

So, are we going to directly participate in this war in Lisle City?" Harrison looked at Li De and knew what he was thinking.

Li De shook his head.

"No, don't participate. All the work of Dawn City is only focused on plundering the population.

Nothing can compare to the Plunder of Approval in the Winter Moon."

His thoughts were not confused by the temptation of alchemy bombs. Population is the keynote of everything. This cannot be changed or replaced. Otherwise, even if he got countless alchemy bombs to use, no one would use them.

“I reiterate again, all resources must be given priority to plundering the population, and the matters regarding alchemy bombs and goblins cannot have any impact on the plundering of the population.

We have a lot of resources, and we have used some of them to complete the preliminary investigation."

Resources include human resources, military resources, material resources, and even publicity resources, network resources, belief resources, etc.

Everything in Dawn City now revolves around plundering the population, but not all resources need to be invested.

"Yes, patriarch."

After Li De gave the order, the people below immediately started taking action.

The last time Li De returned to the Scarlet Mage Tower, an information department was set up in the Scarlet Mage Tower specifically to receive his information.

He also revealed to Wei Na that the Cachar family town he established on the border has actually been built, but it is not convenient for others to know about it at the moment.

In the future, he will need the cooperation of the Scarlet Mage Tower and will transmit information to her through special channels.

In order to strengthen contact, the City of Dawn has set up a relevant liaison department to communicate with the Dark Pact, the Scarlet Mage Tower and the Dwarf Valley.

It can be said that the information command center he is about to establish has already taken preliminary shape. It only needs to be integrated on these basis to get a brand new department.

After arranging these tasks, Li De turned to look at Anakin, who had been beside him. This young dwarf prince had a black beard and looked somewhat handsome.

"Anakin, now that we have accumulated 80 pounds of mithril, does the blacksmith have any ideas?"

Mithril has not been forged weapons since it was mined. Firstly, Li De has no time to pay attention to these. Secondly, there is no urgent need to prepare for war at present, so Mithril has been kept in the secret vault of the city hall.

When talking about this issue, the dwarf prince's eyes immediately lit up.
