Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
Zong Shen has always known about the existence of goblins in the mountains in the northern part of the area.
But I haven't encountered them in a while.
The last time I saw goblins, I was in a mine.
At that time, there were two standard goblin teams fighting against the spider web monster.
Unfortunately, the disadvantage in numbers is too obvious.
In the end, Zong Shen was the fisherman and got a bargain.
And when he first landed, Colby went to the north to explore.
I accidentally came near the Goblin tribe.
Received a fierce attack from the goblins.
He returned to the territory with serious injuries.
"This is not a good sign."
"Take me to see it."
Zong Shen said in a deep voice, stood up decisively, and followed Arvid out of the lord's small building.
All the way to the open space outside the lord's courtyard.
Five wolf cavalry formed a semicircle, with two short green goblins standing in the middle.
The two goblins had their weapons taken away, and their bodies showed signs of being struck by sabers and bitten by wargs.
Dark green blood was constantly flowing out of the wound.
Their upper bodies were tied tightly with hemp rope.
There were bruises all over his face.
Even his mouth was tightly tied with a hemp rope.
Thick phlegm flowed from the corners of his mouth to his chin, and then dripped onto the ground.
A disgusting thread was pulled out.
At this moment, the ferocity and savagery on their faces had softened a lot.
Apparently, the wolf warriors had already repaired them severely before being brought here.
This was Zong Shen's first time observing these goblins up close.
In this world, Goblins are known as despicable creatures and are recognized as evil creatures.
They have no reproductive isolation from all humanoid species, including humans.
They plunder and mate like locusts, spreading across the entire continent.
It is a very famous, dirty, evil, chaotic and disgusting race.
These guys are covered in a disgusting dark green skin that oozes pus.
It's the color of rancid, poisonous pus.
There are also black pimples scattered on it.
It looks more disgusting than green goblins and green orcs.
In addition to their ugly skin, they also have a head that is grossly out of proportion to their body and elongated ears.
The eyes take up a quarter of the entire head.
Through their turbid red pupils, one can feel the savage nature of these goblins revealed from their bones.
All intelligent creatures hate them.
Including goblins who are known for their cunning and greed.
Although the two look somewhat similar.
But goblins are obviously more normal than goblins.
There is a legend in the mainland that goblins are the failed creations of a certain evil god.
But Goblins also have a complete system.
There are also ethnic branches.
According to their living environment and appearance, they are divided into three major ethnic groups: ordinary goblins, night goblins, and forest goblins.
The two goblin scouts in front of me live in the mountains and forests and are typical forest goblins.
Their reproductive capacity is very strong, and their aggressiveness is also very strong.
The intelligence level of the race is medium to low, and the spellcasters in the race often shoulder the important task of commanders.
They don't know how to farm, they only engage in primitive and barbaric hunting and plundering.
Every male goblin has an extremely strong sexual desire.
Even the female goblins are like this.
The lifespan of goblins is not very long, usually between 25 and 35 years old.
Not even as good as those gnolls in the wilderness.
When they grow to 8 years old, they enter the stage of sexual maturity.
Since there is no reproductive isolation for humanoids, whether the female body mates with a male of other races, or the male body mates with a female of other races.
The resulting individual is still a goblin, but there will be slight differences.
This terrifying characteristic is the fundamental reason why they are called failed creations of evil gods.
Even the dragon, who has always been promiscuous, cannot do this.
Zong Shen looked at the Goblin Scouts. He saw these information from the strategy module.
If I remember correctly, there were ruins of a temporary camp of the Alliance army that once supported Azshara near the goblin tribe.
There are some places worth exploring.
There are also clues to another ruins related to that place.
That was the clue about the ruins of the Shadow Poison Assassin League that was obtained when killing Hideki Mitani.
The ruins of the Shadow Poison Assassin League are the key to Hideki Mitani's fortune.
At that time, he only explored the periphery of the ruins and got a lot of assassin recruitment scrolls.
The core area of the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance is sealed by a solid rune gate.
Mitani Hideki couldn't enter it at all.
As for the key to opening the rune door, it was based on what the original guide said.
It's in the ruins next to the Goblin tribe.
If you want to explore there, you must not avoid the Goblin tribe.
So even if these two goblin scouts were not found today, Zong Shen would have to fight them sooner or later.
According to previous inferences, the size of the goblin tribe was not small.
At least the number has reached thousands.
In the first few days after landing, Zong Shen could often see lords mentioning things about goblins on the [Regional Channel].
Those lords basically landed near the northern mountains and forests.
And it should be relatively close to the Goblin tribe.
But in the following days, few people mentioned Goblin.
Obviously during this period, in addition to the reason for the crypt challenge, these goblins also acted as the executioners of the lord.
Zong Shen estimated that the lords whose territories were near the mountains and forests in the north were already in danger.
With bad neighbors around, not to mention developing the territory, even one's life cannot be saved.
It is at least forty to fifty kilometers from here to the northern mountains and forests.
There is also a bone burial ground that needs to be crossed in the middle.
Being able to find Goblin scouts here can only explain one thing.
That means the Goblin tribe has noticed this place.
For them, humans are cattle and sheep, and settlements are pastures.
Maybe these goblins don't dare to attack villages or cities.
But the territories of the lords we faced were different.
The population of most lords' territories has not yet exceeded hundreds of figures.
To the goblins it is just "pasture".
How could they have any reason to let it go?
The two goblin scouts were choked by hemp ropes.
Unable to speak, he could only whimper like a vicious dog.
These goblins are about the same height as kobolds.
It also has its own unique language.
Only those spellcasters and wise men in the tribe can speak the common language of the continent.
So there is no need to think about prying any useful information out of their mouths.
These morons don't look smart.
The combat effectiveness is also not as good as that of ordinary second-level scouts.
He just received some simple scout training and mastered some poor stealth skills.
It's better to kill them directly and get some experience points.
Zong Shen raised his head slightly and looked at Arvid.
The Wolf Cavalry has all completed the change of uniforms and is now a member of the combat force.
They also wore thick and warm [double-sided sheepskin winter clothing].
And even the warg under their crotches was also wearing a long sheepskin coat.
Judging from the style, it should be tailor-made for wargs.
Including those Andalusian war horses, the prairie horses in the stables, and even Bajie, there is one.
These are all what Mariel means.
It just so happens that there are not too many mounts in the territory now.
The difficulty of sewing and the consumption of materials are also low.
There are large reserves of sheepskin and wool raw materials in the territory.
She asked Alana to sew a batch yesterday.
Zong Shen naturally had no objection to this.
These are all small details. In the final analysis, it’s just two to three hundred sheepskins and a few hours of Alana’s work.
As a logistics officer, Mariel still has this authority.
The warg originally had thick hair, but after wearing a sheepskin coat, his body looked even bloated.
Zong Shen turned his hand and took out the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword.
Said softly to Arvid.
"These two dirty green goblins have no purpose for existing anymore."
"They are imbecile and cruel, just kill them."
"Also, search the outer reaches of the territory to see if there are any traces left by other goblins."
Hearing what Zong Shen said, Arvid bowed in greeting.
The other wolf cavalry also immediately understood their lord's intentions.
They all got off their wolves and kicked the two goblin scouts in the knees from behind.
His short legs softened and they all knelt on the ground.
The wolf cavalry grabbed the hemp rope binding their bodies.
He stepped on the Goblin Scout's back with his big leather-booted feet.
Let them keep their kneeling posture.
At the same time, their slender necks are also exposed.
Zong Shen stepped forward slowly, holding up the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword in his hand.
He wanted to kill these two goblin scouts using a beheading method.
To Zong Shen, these two guys were just two ugly, disgusting wild monsters.
He aimed his sword at the Goblin Scout's neck.
He swung the heavy sword with all his strength.
"puff!"
【-277】
There was a faint sound of the sword cutting into flesh.
The next moment, a goblin's head flew out.
Dark green blood spurted out from the incision on his neck.
The sudden loss of pressure in the aorta caused this spectacular scene.
Goblin Scouts are just blank slate monsters with more than ten levels.
The blood volume is not high and it can only be regarded as a squishy creature.
Without the protection of armor, Zong Shen can cut off their heads with one strike.
After killing this goblin, he slowly walked towards the other one.
He quickly raised the knife and beheaded the other Goblin Scout.
The two Goblin Scouts contributed more than 100 experience points and 2 points of strength extraction to him respectively.
"Drag it out and burn it, or feed it to the wolves."
"Continue to patrol. If you find traces of other goblins around the territory, contact me immediately."
Zong Shen kicked the headless corpse at his feet and signaled the wolf cavalry to take the corpse away.
The equipment of these goblin scouts is very rudimentary, and they don't even have a decent leather armor.
Wearing a tattered black night jacket, the sewing technique was extremely crude.
The weapons were a pair of short daggers, which were badly worn.
There are gaps all over the blade.
There are obvious polishing marks on it.
From Zong Shen's perspective, these daggers cannot even reach the whiteboard level.
Items classified as gray damaged.
The last time Zong Shen saw gray equipment was when it first landed.
His long sword with its own tetanus buff is also of this quality.
So Zong Shen found it boring.
After finishing speaking, he walked back to the lord's courtyard.
This group of goblins is entrenched in the area, and there will definitely be a battle in the future.
Now the territory's defense matrix has been roughly formed.
There are more than a hundred soldiers.
It’s long past the time when I first landed in poverty.
It would be a good idea for him not to cause trouble with the Goblin tribe for the time being.
If the goblin tribe dares to send people to attack, Zong Shen is confident enough to keep them behind!
Someone in his sect has this confidence and strength.
The wolf cavalry followed Zong Shen's instructions and dragged away the two headless corpses.
Also taken away were the two ugly heads.
If it weren't for the dirty blood stains on the ground, it would be as if everything had never happened.
As time went by, the cold wind became more severe.
It is now more than an hour before twelve o'clock noon.
Mariel completed the task she had previously assigned.
All cold-proof materials in the living area have been distributed.
Howie and Doris will be physically present in the living area.
They have some spirits and medicines stored in their personal storage compartments.
Zong Shen also left the recharged [Magic Combat Puppet] near the living area.
The communication crystal that can activate the puppet was given to Howie for safekeeping.
The entire body of the magic puppet is forged from precious magical materials.
Not susceptible to the negative effects of cold.
With its size and strength, it can move freely as long as it is not frozen into an iceberg.
It is suitable to be placed outside the living area as a backup means.
In addition, the copper kettles and ceiling stoves in the living area will start boiling water 24 hours a day.
There is a place for a kettle on the stove top.
All houses and stone houses also have ventilation openings reserved.
All the windproof walls have been built, except for the wolf cavalry who are still on patrol.
Everyone is in their places.
Now it's just Luna and Farvid who are leaving for the mine with Bajie and the two-headed hellhound.
Judging from the departure time, it should take them more than half an hour to return to the territory.
Everything is ready, just waiting for winter to come.
New challenges, new expectations.
Zong Shen hopes that it will really be like the prompts under the challenge announcement in the strategy module.
"Only after experiencing the severe cold of winter can we welcome the gift of spring."
He stood at the door of the lord's courtyard, looking at the gray sky.
Then he turned around gracefully and went straight back to the lord's small building.
He was going to check out the two remaining magic items and what he got from Evans.
