After talking for a while, Niebuhr became a little out of his mind again. Li De asked him to continue resting and then left the tent. The trolls over there had also drawn the map and could leave at any time.
But at this moment, Bigwitz suddenly called Li De aside.
"Dear Mr. Lord, although I have no right to interfere with your decision. As a partner, I think you should discuss it with the Lord of Nogfogg before making any major decisions."
This left Li De speechless. As a lord, he was the only recognized partner of the goblins. Now that he was doing such a risky thing, the goblins were also bearing huge risks.
Of course, Bigwitz said this not to ask Li De to explain anything to him.
"Last night, I reported what happened here to the Lord of Nogfogg. I think he should be arriving soon."
As soon as Bigwitz finished speaking, a roar of motors sounded in the sky, and Noggenfogg piloted the mecha and landed from the sky into the territory.
After several months of getting along with each other, the humans and goblins in the territory have become familiar with each other, and have a general understanding of the goblins' advanced engineering technology. However, this mecha that can fly still attracts a certain amount of attention.
.
"I heard that you defeated a thousand troll troops. Those guys are very difficult to deal with. I'm here to support you. They will probably organize a second attack."
As soon as Noggenfogg stepped out of the mecha, he pretended to be here for support.
Although he knew that he was pretending, Li De still accepted his invitation. After all, even if it was just a gesture, it was rare for goblins.
Nogfogg was still content with the humans marveling at his flying golem, but Bigwitz came over and reported to him the decision Li Degang had made.
When he heard that Li De was going to Zul'Farrak, Nogfogg was not calm at that time.
"Are you crazy? You are going to die for a troll! What will happen to our cooperation if you die?! Oh my god, why did I ignore this at the time and actually choose a lunatic as a partner?
!”
Noggenfogger said angrily, but Li De pulled Noggenfogger aside, lowered himself and spoke with his arms around his shoulders.
"My friend, you don't have to be so angry. The one I want to save is not an ordinary troll. He is the son of the previous chief of the Sandfury tribe."
But Nogfogg didn't buy Li De's rhetoric.
"Not even the current chief! What kind of troll can't be more important than my business."
Li De suddenly lowered his voice and said.
"Friend, I went to save this troll just for the sake of our business..."
This aroused Nogfogg's interest, and he decided to listen to what Li De had to say first.
"If we want to develop Tanaris, we can't get around the trolls. If we don't have a good relationship with the trolls and let them often cause trouble, there won't be a good business environment here either.
So for the sake of cooperation, we must have a good relationship with trolls.
Of course, forget about the current chief. I just wiped out their elite troops yesterday. But we can have a good relationship with the next chief..."
Noggenfogg's eyes widened instantly.
"You mean?"
"Yes, that troll has the legal status to become a chief. Not only do I want to save him, but I also want to help him become the next chief and lead the Sandfury tribe to join our cooperation!
Do you know how many people there are in the Sandfury tribe? Ten thousand people! Ten thousand people with nothing to do would be a disaster for Tanaris, but what if we could mobilize their people to participate in our development?
It doesn’t take much, even if we mobilize two thousand people, our construction period can be greatly shortened! The most important thing is that the life of the Sand Fury tribe is very difficult, as long as we can make their life a little better, we can win them over!"
Reed's words really moved Nogfogg's heart. Capitalists love cheap labor the most.
But after thinking for a long time, Noggenfogg still shook his head in denial.
"No, even so, I don't agree with you taking risks! I can't accept cooperation with other humans. You can send your soldiers to Zul'Farrak!"
This remark made Li De laugh.
"Don't tease my friend, my soldiers are not as strong as me. It is safest only for me to go in person."
At this point, Li De suddenly realized something.
"By the way, do you know troll language?"
Noggenfogg smiled contemptuously.
"But Bigwitz is not the only one who is proficient in troll language. Their 'vulgar' language is very easy to master."
But after showing off, Noggenfogg had a bad feeling, and as expected, Li De patted his shoulder excitedly.
"Great, I'm worried about Bigwitz's lack of strength, and I'm hesitant to take him with me. You know I can't communicate directly with the trolls yet. This time I need to take a troll as a guide..."
Nogfogg pushed Li De away.
"I won't go to Zul'Farrak with you! It's not enough for you to go crazy yourself, and you want to take me to death?!"
Li De said haha.
"Don't say that. I know that you are actually very capable in combat, right? With you joining us, the chance of success in this operation will be much higher.
Besides, your mecha can fly! Don’t worry, if the mission really fails, I will risk my life and take you out with me. Or, is it your mecha that takes me to escape with you?"
After Li De said this, Nogfogg "desperately" discovered that this matter was really going to happen!
Noggenfogg sighed sadly.
"Fuck, I'm crazy, okay! I'll go with you!"
In fact, the spirit of adventure also flows in the goblin's blood, otherwise Noggenfogg would not have started his own business as soon as he got excited.
Li De laughed happily, while Nogfogg cursed, took out three Kaya crystals from his backpack, opened the machine cover of the Flying Golem, and stuffed them inside.
The Kaya Crystal is the power source of the Flying Golem, and it can hold up to four pieces at the same time. However, this thing is so expensive that Noggenfogg is usually reluctant to use it, so he just stuffs one piece into the Golem to deal with it.
Bigwitz looked at what was happening in front of him in disbelief. He thought about ten thousand possibilities for the development of the situation, but he never expected that Li De could persuade Nogfogg to accompany him on the adventure!
Nogfogg's side is not very active in making preparations, and Li De is also selecting manpower.
It is impossible for Li De to bring all ten of the elite team, as that would be too big a goal.
In the end, he chose Andel and Madin Lei, who had strong overall strength, to follow him, three warriors Li De, Andel, Madin Lei, a shaman Ange Gagu, and a mechanic Nogfu
Ge. A team of five people embarked on the road to sneak into Zul'Farrak!
Li De and the other three were physically strong, Angagagu was a local, and Noggenfogg was driving a golem so they didn't have to run by themselves. Therefore, the group of people were quite fast, and it took almost only half a day to reach the outskirts of Zul'Farrak.
Zul'Farrak is located in the deepest part of the northern Tanaris Desert and is built against the mountains. It is actually the edge of the desert and has many boulders for everyone to hide.
The five of them took a rest behind a huge boulder, and Li De took out the map drawn by the troll and started reading it.
Although there is Angagagu as a guide, as the commander Li De must control the overall situation, and Angagagu is only needed for some specific details.
After determining a course of action, several people began to infiltrate.
What surprised everyone was that there were not many people guarding the entrance to Zul'Farrak, so they were easily eliminated and sneaked into this ancient city.
In fact, this is reasonable. Niebuhr caused the division of the Sandfury trolls, and two thousand trolls followed him away, some of which were guards at the entrance.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Ukoz did not have time to appoint new guards. In addition, the Sand Fury Troll actually had no opponent to fight against in Tanaris, and no one had actively invaded here for thousands of years.
So many of the guards at the entrance are just for show.
And more importantly, after the news of Antusul's defeat and death was reported by the troll who escaped, Ukzi was busy losing his temper at this time, so how could he have time to think about it?
Out of a thousand elites, less than 200 escaped in the end!
Niebuhr took away 20% of the Sandfury troll population of about 10,000, and now lost another 10%, so much so that Ukoz was so angry that he threw all the escaped trolls into the deepest divine pool of Zul'Farrak.
, dedicated to that "god"!
Ukozi is performing a horrific ritual at the Divine Pond, which further creates the emptiness within Zul'Farrak.
After sneaking inside, everyone discovered that this was a city built on hills. The terrain was high and low, and there were ruins everywhere due to the age.
Angegagagu walked at the front and led the way. He did not lead everyone on the main road, but went up the hills in two and three circles and walked through the mountain ridges.
"Hey! That idiot! Can't you lead a better way!"
Noggenfogg on the ridge said with some dissatisfaction that the infiltration process should be as concealed as possible. The flying golem's engine roared too loudly, so he could only control the golem to walk, and the three or four-meter-tall golem was in
Traveling in this kind of terrain was very laborious, causing Noggenfogg to curse in troll language.
Angagagu just led the way with his head down. He was trying to save Niebuhr and had no intention of sharing the same knowledge as Noggagu.
Instead, it was Li De who spoke. Although he couldn't understand Troll language, he didn't need to understand to know that Nogfogg didn't have anything nice to say.
"I asked him to lead the way."
Hearing Li De say this, Nogfogg suddenly fell silent, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong.
"Hey! I am your partner, not your subordinate! Don't forget, it was you who begged me to come!"
Li De didn't look back.
"I know, but now I am the team commander. I ask you not to make noise for everyone's safety, and also for your safety! Our purpose is just to kill Zumulaen, there is no need to attract more enemies!"
"you……"
Nogfogg was a little angry, but he could tell from his tone that Li De was serious. After muttering a few words in a low voice, he stopped arguing loudly.
He didn't speak anymore, but after a while Li De needed him to speak again.
"Ange Gagu, how far is the road ahead?"
The troll's cartography skills are too poor. Even if they draw a map, they only have a rough outline. The details are very poor, and they cannot draw every mountain ridge so clearly.
Noggenfogg had no choice but to act as the team's translator. Fortunately, the answer he got satisfied him.
"Climb the mountain ridge in front and you will arrive at Zumulaen's residence."
Li De estimated the traveling speed and found out that he would see Zumulaen in about five minutes. He immediately ordered everyone to get ready for battle. There would be a fierce battle soon!
