Woody and Sengu walked along the long gravel street sprinkled with stars. The silence and tranquility had long since completely disappeared from this stream town located in the west of the Whispering Forest, like a pearl embedded in the green crown. The flames,
Cries to kill, cries for help, and an endless stream of weapons breaking through and shouting from all directions, as if the devil has been imprisoned for millions of years and wants to vent its sins and evils on this peaceful land.
As Woody and others left the center of Green Creek Town and headed to the outskirts, mottled blood stains could be seen everywhere on the gravel road. There were also invisible bloody body parts on both sides and even in the middle of the road.
, although there was no river of blood, the messy blood still added a chill to the night of this medieval town.
Unknowingly, as Woody advanced, the night got darker. When the building directly in front of his field of vision completely disappeared and turned into empty and endless darkness, Woody understood that the periphery had arrived.
When Sengu arrived at this location, he became extremely cautious. He led Woody and the team and others through the gaps in the buildings and criss-crossed in the alleys. Woody could vaguely see that the northern street entrance of this town was the same as the one he had seen before.
They were all completely blocked by carriages or accumulated debris, like a three-meter-high wall built like a puzzle. It was not clear beyond the high wall, only the lingering mist swimming in the gaps.
And before you know it, the shouts of killing on both sides have disappeared, and occasionally only a few cold arrows are shot in the air, cutting through the pale and slightly fluffy cold fog that comes every night in the Forest of Whispers.
"Grim! Here we come!"
Walking out of an alley on the long gravel street, Sen Gu, a mercenary from the Nudong Merchant Group, walked to the side door at one end of the long street, knocked on the wooden door a few times and whispered.
But Woody remained silent. He already knew on the way here that the place where he came to support was where the war was most tense. The north side of the town was also the wall that was first broken through by the cannibals, and the monster army was swallowed up.
There, most of the monsters that appear in the town also use that place as their spreading point to spread outward.
The second line of defense now relies on the buildings to the north of Green Creek Town as a bridgehead, headed by Grimm.
Not long after the knock on the door, the wooden door in front of him was opened. It was a red scarf ranger with the lower half of his face covered. He recognized Sengu and spoke directly.
"The boss is on the second floor. Those monsters seem to be making some moves again. He asked me to come down and open the door!"
As he explained, he skillfully poked his head out to see if there was any movement in the alleys on both sides.
"Come in quickly, it's become unsafe here now. Goblins and goblin dogs appear from time to time. A companion was dragged away just now."
Sengu touched his chin beard and suddenly realized.
"No wonder, I said there was a bit of a dog smell in the air just now. It turned out that the goblin cub also joined the battle."
"Sen Guda, this goblin is different from the ones we have seen before. It is not brown but green." The red scarf ranger emphasized and corrected his view, saying with lingering fear.
"And they hold items in their hands that are more powerful than the wizard's spells. Several brothers were injured just now."
"In battle, they are not afraid of death. They are not like the timid and cowardly goblins before."
"It doesn't matter! Let alone changing the skin of the goblin, even if it adds a head, it will still be a goblin!"
Sengu looked unconcerned when he said this, and didn't take the goblin to heart at all. The red scarf ranger wanted to say something else, but found that he might not be able to persuade him, so he could only suppress the words in his throat.
However, when Woody heard the information that goblins' skin was green, his mind suddenly recalled Arsenant's highlight moment that belonged only to goblins in his previous life.
And that group of goblins called themselves "greenskins".
Green skin is acquired. The so-called skin changes are essentially ordinary goblins smeared with green camouflage. Among green skins, the more green the proportion is, the higher the goblin's status.
Among the green-skinned goblins, there is a goblin leader named Kezan, who not only unified all the tribes of more than a thousand southern goblins with his wisdom, but also mastered a high-end technology that no human being can master.
This technology was later named by players.
——"Goblin Technology"
Kezan, who mastered goblin technology, brought with him nearly era-defining equipment and used it as goblin mercenaries to navigate the dark side of wars between several kingdoms. Many cultists have even hired them to carry out some explosives.
To the east of the Star Swirl Mountains in the south, it was famous for a while. Many players in the south were equipped with goblin technological equipment, rocket boots, diamond-cut refractor telescopes...
However, later, the ambition of Goblin King Kezan was gradually exposed. After the genocidal act of trying to subvert the human government and eliminate all humans on the territory, the prosperity of the goblin kingdom brought by goblin technology soon came to the legend.
Under the magic of the mage, everything disappeared, and the technology of the goblins was still difficult to compete with the magic in the face of the power of the higher-ups.
But according to the current timeline, the goblin kingdom of Kezan should still be involved in various disputes as mercenaries.
However, the West Coast is also within their employment acceptance range?
Woody had a headache. If goblin mercenaries were added to this battle, the outcome would be hard to say. After all, variants of goblins such as green goblins are different from their close relatives, ordinary goblins, and are not in the wilderness.
Weeds that bully the weak and fear the strong, madness is more appropriate to describe this group. Most of the green-skinned goblins transformed from ordinary goblins, after brainwashing, most of them are paranoid and advocate violence. They essentially enjoy the pleasure of destruction, and
Never cherish your own life, holding a bomb and dying together with the enemy is a basic operation.
The number of the group is huge because it is enriched by ordinary goblins. Although the strength is similar to that of kobolds, the basic biological level may be only one-half or even one-fourth. An ordinary farmer can deal with 3-5 of them.
But with the support of goblin technology, a small team of green-skinned goblins plus a large team of goblins, the challenge level can even reach 4 or even 5. Even the hill giants cannot reach this level. And if this team has enough reserve resources, even if
An adventuring party with an average career level of 10 is also likely to suffer from their goblin bombs.
"How many of them are green? Are there any goblins with gold earrings?"
Woody took a few steps to catch up with the Red Scarf Ranger and asked in a low voice.
After knowing that he was about to face a group of green-skinned goblins, Woody's combat thinking immediately changed, and he began to caress the Thor ring in his hand unconsciously.
If it was really a green-skinned goblin, he wouldn't have to worry about the explosion. At this early stage, they had not yet mastered the poison gas bombs in the later stage. They were just the most basic explosions. The range damage was far inferior to the fireball spell. With his speed, he could completely avoid it.
"There are about seven or eight, and there seems to be one with gold earrings. What's wrong, have you seen them?" The Red Scarf Ranger asked curiously when he saw Woody who came forward to ask.
"It seems that I have some impression, I'm just asking." Woody explained, saying that he didn't know, but he was a little uneasy inside.
Because of the number of seven or eight and the golden earrings, it is very likely that this is a goblin team with a commander level.
That means that this goblin team may drop the goblin technology he wants most, a toy that was quite useful until he traveled through his past life.
——"Commander's Tactical Goggles"
——"Item effect: Obtains the "measurement" special effect, and the wearer's detection and night vision abilities gain a +3 bonus. When worn continuously, negative effects such as short-term blindness and dizziness may occur.
——"Item special effects (measurement): You can understand the enemy's strength more clearly and present it in numerical values."
——"The forward target data detection is completed, the target's combat power is 73-135, our own combat power is 121-153, and we can attack!&... The forward data fluctuation is detected, the target's combat power is 999-1111, it is recommended to escape quickly...
...It is recommended to escape quickly&...On the broken eyepiece, the angry dragon shadow is reflected."
…
To specifically measure the fluctuations in the strength of both sides, this technology is difficult to achieve with magic. And most importantly, having it during the adventure is equivalent to a map detector, which can clearly detect the strength and level of the monsters ahead.
It will be very helpful for him to travel alone in the wilderness after arriving in Losente, and it will allow him to avoid many detours and unnecessary troubles.
Therefore, even though this tactical eyepiece is likely to be an early version and cannot detect excessively high levels of strength, it is still worth a try tonight.
However, before Woody could think about his next move, he had just walked to the building window on the second floor when a round iron ball suddenly flew in. When Woody saw it, he immediately stepped forward and flew at a flying speed.
With quick eyes and quick feet, he kicked the iron ball back.
Before everyone could react, a wave of air came from outside and inside at the same time, causing everyone in the house to instantly feel an earthquake-like shaking. Beams, earth and rocks fell, and the entire house looked precarious.
.
Obviously, the bomb just now was not just the one kicked away by Woody, there were other bombs thrown at the same time.
"What's going on?"
"Ah! What's wrong!"
"Damn, what happened?"
…
The earth shook and the mountains shook. Several people in the house and some guards on the second floor were panicked and even started to curse.
"Quick, get down first, or the house will collapse if you keep doing this!"
The shaking had little impact on Woody. He had already experienced the battle with the ape demon of the abyss just now, and now he had more thoughts in his mind.
Couldn't this be done by those goblins?
And when he, Sengu and others escaped from the house together, the special gunpowder smoke in the air and the faint outline of a small humanoid creature leaving could be seen in the cold mist, the culprits of all the crimes were already clear.
"Fuck! It's those green-skinned goblins! I'm going to kill them!"
One guard was furious and wanted to rush out with his sword. In the sudden wave, his forehead was hit hard by a piece of tile, and the gray cloth wrapped in it was dyed blood red. The expression on his face was particularly ferocious at this time.
However, he was quickly stopped by another person, with a strong arm blocking him in front of him.
"Calm down, Julian."
"If you catch up, I'm afraid you'll end up like Kamans, being blown into two pieces by something buried in the ground."
A middle-aged soldier who was also a little embarrassed, but whose facial features resembled Sen Gu's, the only difference was that he did not have the big beard and exposed the unique cold jaws of the Northlanders. He used his other hand to brush his hair.
The dust, persuaded with earnest words.
"But...Boss, these goblins are really serious!"
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Grom!"
…
The appearance of the middle-aged soldier made the team that was originally loose and panicked by the explosion suddenly seem to have a backbone. Sengu even stepped forward to give his brother a hug.
"Oh, Sengu, His Highness Cecil didn't ask you to go back inside. How did you complete the mission?"
Grim saw Sengu. He was not surprised to have received news from his companions before. He was just slightly curious that Sengu's team had left not long ago, and weren't they responsible for the safety of His Highness Cecil? Why are they back now?
After hearing this, Sengu could only answer honestly.
"It's over. We didn't even take action, and the abyss creature was already killed in advance."
"Oh? Is there such a powerful character in the business group?"
Grim was also shocked after hearing this. Originally, he was a little worried about Sengu's safety, but now it seems that his brother was just going through the motions.
"Of course, he is still here with us. He is the young man who gave us advice in the tavern and stayed with His Highness Cecil."
Everyone present could not help but look at Woody who was standing on the edge of the crowd. After all, there were not many people who could walk with His Highness Cecil, let alone just a passenger who got on the bus halfway, and they knew that Woody was Cecil.
There were not many people specially placed in the caravan. At least most of the guards did not know Woody's identity, so mystery immediately enveloped the black-haired young man.
At this moment, Woody is inquiring about more information about the green skin from the previous Red Turban Ranger. Judging from the bomb just now, it seems that the deterrent effect is not that strong. After all, at the peak of his previous life, a bomb exploded a building.
The power is still too small.
But for aboriginal people who have never seen it, the effect is so remarkable.
But this is normal. As a technology that has flourished in Asenland in recent years, not many people know about goblin technology. Therefore, after seeing that goblins can use magic and other abilities, most of the aboriginal people are interested in it.
It is difficult to judge the inner fears and fears with rational thinking.
Regarding this point, Woody himself had to admit that this was the limitation of the vision of the times.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Woody could only nod helplessly.
"Actually, it's nothing. The abyssal ape demon has obvious weaknesses. If it's really difficult to deal with, I think it might not be as good as these guerrilla goblins."
Seeing what Woody said, Grim noticed the message in the words, and combined with the previous exchange with the Red Scarf Ranger, he stepped forward and asked solemnly.
"Your Excellency seems to have other insights into this unique goblin. Have you heard of them?"
Woody nodded.
"The green-skinned goblins are active in the south. I have seen them in books. They are very smart and will use many strange things that humans cannot create to help them win the battle."
"The commotion in the house just now was the bomb it created."
"Then do you have any good plans?"
Feeling the eyes of the people present, as well as Grim, Sengu and others approaching him, Woody's expression remained unchanged and he smiled slightly.
"I have some ideas, but I still need your cooperation."
