Without further ado, Owen took Charles, the Teutonic warriors, a few ninjas, healers, and a hundred soldiers and rushed towards the Devil's Horn Forest.
Considering that the situation was unclear, Owen did not go straight to the Goblin tribe, but chose Muzhai as his foothold.
Muzhai was originally used as a hiding place for Owen to hide troops. Later, due to its exposure and the increasing importance of the Goblin tribe, Muzhai was transformed into a transit station. After continuous expansion, Muzhai can now accommodate 200 people for long-term garrison.
, and has a warehouse with considerable capacity to store magic horn tree blocks and food transported from the Goblin tribe.
Thanks to the continuous felling in the past two years, not only has the wooden village become more solid and complete, but there is also a large area of open space around it as a buffer. Any incoming attackers cannot hide their traces. Therefore, the soldiers and civilians of the wooden village did not attack in the first wave.
He suffered too much damage from the attack by the mutant creatures and retreated to the wooden village in time, killing many mutant creatures instead.
At present, the crossbowmen were patrolling the wooden wall, and the swordsmen were waiting in full formation. The mutant creatures with many casualties bullied the weak and feared the strong and chose to retreat. Therefore, Owen successfully entered the wooden village without encountering any trouble.
After entering Muzhai, Owen asked the healer to treat the injured with fresh white wine, and then began to ask about the situation. As a result, his face did not look good.
It's not that the situation is bad, it's that I don't know the situation.
Although the system's troops are loyal, they have very poor initiative. They seem to care about things that have nothing to do with them. The lower-level troops are more like this, and they only know how to obey orders rigidly.
All in all, it would be difficult for them to let them die and take care of things. What can Irving do?
Because Mu Zhai has never been in charge, after being attacked, it will only retreat to Mu Zhai according to what Owen said before. As for the further situation, I don’t know.
"Clean it up and ask the scouts to pay attention to our rear and sides." Owen knew how cunning Goblins are, and their low level of civilization does not mean they are fools. Trapping, luring, and hunting have become their instincts. If they face Goblins,
If you dare to be careless in the forest, you will appear in their pot before long.
The originally tamed Horned Goblin was affected by the mutation and became much larger in size. It had red eyes, black skin, sharp horns, and ferocious muscles. It was like a ghost. At the same time, it lost most of its sanity and was replaced by enhanced strength. Even
He can defeat the long swordsman in two moves.
If equipped with weapons, after training, the mutated horned goblins may not be inferior to long swordsmen, but there is still a problem whether their little sense left allows them to master the use and training of weapons.
Apart from two days of food and water, the group did not carry any extra supplies, because as long as they successfully entered the Goblin tribe, they would not be short of food and water. If not, the lighter the burden when fleeing, the better.
I just don’t know if the time was too short, or if the fluctuations that caused the mutation were not as severe as imagined. Although I encountered some mutated animals and plants on the road, they were not as severe as imagined.
What feels ridiculous is not the appearance of mutants, but the appearance and looks of the horned goblins.
The horned goblins don't actually have horns, and their skin is not black. It's just that in order to adapt to the environment of the horned tree forest, they would smear the horned tree on their bodies since they were young, which can neutralize the stinging poison of the horned tree.
Root juice.
The scouts in Muzhai are very familiar with the forest. They serve as the eyes of the troops to explore the road ahead, while the long swordsmen and crossbowmen are responsible for attacking the mutated creatures encountered along the way. The Teutonic warriors sit in the middle, the ninjas hide in the dark, and the Charles guards
Next to Owen, everything is in order.
For example, the body size has become larger, and the claws have become sharper, more powerful, and faster. This allows mutant creatures to gain better survivability, but they cannot persist longer than ordinary animals under long swords and crossbows. This makes
Owen's heart was somewhat relieved.
When Owen and the others came to the Goblin tribe, the fighting here was still going on. A large number of horned goblins tried to rush into the Goblin tribe, but the Goblin general obviously carried out his orders well and repaired the road.
A large amount of wood was used to build wooden walls, resulting in the entire tribe being surrounded by logs several meters high, and a large number of arrow towers were built. Therefore, even if individual strength and numbers did not dominate, they were still able to persevere.
The reason why hundreds of devil-horned goblins gather here is because they know that the goblin tribe has weapons, food, and everything they need. Therefore, even if there are many casualties, they are still unwilling to leave, and they are constantly
During the battle, it continued to mutate, and even more powerful horned goblins were faintly produced.
Now Owen discovered that among these horned goblins there were some mutants that were taller and had longer horns, which made him feel very ridiculous.
Fortunately, according to the information brought back by the scouts, the current situation in the forest is not bad. After killing and injuring some mutated creatures, most of the remaining ones have regained their senses and are returning to their original lives, eating grass when they should and hunting when they should.
, as for the other effects, they could not be seen in a short time, so Owen decided to set off for the Goblin tribe immediately.
The road between the Goblin Tribe and Muzhai has not been completed yet, but a large number of trees have been cut down, so the carriage cannot go there, but walking is fine, which saves Owen a lot of worry.
Helpless, Owen could only send out all the scouts in Muzhai to inquire about the situation. He couldn't just dive in without knowing anything.
But when you get near the Goblin tribe, the mutation becomes a bit outrageous.
This thick, dark sap is slightly toxic. Humans will definitely not be able to stand it, and will suffer severe allergies and even death. However, goblins have adapted to this toxicity through their strong adaptability and rapid reproduction, and have gained the ability to live in the magic horn.
The power of the tree forest.
Even so, Owen is still very wary, because no one knows how many horned goblins there are in the horned forest, and how many horned goblins have mutated.
Owen's orders were executed perfectly, especially by the ninjas. They were proficient in lurking and assassination, and combined with the high-explosive breathing method, they were even more powerful. Most of the horned goblins did not know how they died until they died.
As for the horns on their heads, they are the thorns of the horned tree. When the horned goblins reach adulthood, they will put a thorn of the horned tree on their heads, which means they have grown up. Therefore, the horned goblins are actually similar to
There's not much difference between regular goblins.
Of course, this was all before, and now they have indeed turned into the appearance in front of them, with skin as black as ink, horns on their heads, and mouths full of fangs.
It's just that although the horned goblins have become stronger, they have also lost part of their sanity. In addition, there has never been a leader who can command all the horned goblins. With the soldiers scattered and fighting on their own, the battle situation has remained stalemate.
The Goblin soldiers who relied on the wooden stronghold and the arrow tower were not at a disadvantage. What's more, once the battle situation went unfavorable, the Goblin General would rush out with the Goblin Demon Sheep Cavalry to restore the disadvantage and be able to sustain it in a short period of time.
