Chapter 446: The King of Goblins, the Meaning of Winter
Its nose is smaller than that of an ordinary goblin, as are its eyes.
There is only a little red in the eyes that represents madness.
The overall appearance is light yellow, and only the edge of the central pupil is still blood red.
This makes it look more pleasing to the eye than ordinary goblins.
It was wearing a knight's battle armor that was also bronze, and under the battle helmet it also wore a head curtain woven with chain mail, covering the shoulders on both sides.
What is worth mentioning is that the armor it wears is very finely made. The breastplate and abdominal armor have the outlines of muscles, especially the eagle emblem is engraved on the chest.
From time to time, there would be a silvery white light flashing on the armor.
This is a set of full armor, covering almost its entire body. The joints of its limbs have movable telescopic structures, which can give the limbs a certain degree of flexibility.
If Zong Shen were here, he would find that this is a set of precious legendary knight armor.
Given the situation of the Goblin tribe, it is absolutely impossible to forge it.
This place is adjacent to the garrison camp of the ancient coalition forces, so it is very likely that they found this set of armor from the ruins of the ruins.
This guy's height is almost the same as that of an average human male. He stands out among the goblins. In terms of stature alone, he is second only to the bear goblins in the tribe.
Behind it stood some Goblins wearing different armors. These Goblins were all slightly shorter than it, similar in appearance to it, and taller and more pleasing to the eye than ordinary Goblins.
The armor on their bodies is of various kinds, engraved with various emblems.
Among them are the Silver Moon emblem of the night elves, and the blazing sun mark of the high elves.
There are also various family crest-like imprints.
Obviously these armors also come from the ruins of ancient battlefields.
These guys who are obviously different from ordinary goblins are the core of this goblin tribe.
The one wearing the knight's armor is the leader of the tribe, the Goblin King.
Surrounding him are the so-called Goblin heroes.
The workmanship of the tables and chairs in the house is very rough.
It looks crooked and unsturdy. For ordinary goblins who are stupid, this is already the limit of their craftsmanship.
At this time, the Goblin King was staring at the leather map spread out on the table.
This is specially treated leather, and repeated washing has completely removed the fat in the leather.
This gives the entire leather a certain degree of light transmittance.
On this piece of leather, there is a simple map outlined with light cyan lines.
It depicts some signs of undulating terrain, and special marks are marked on some locations.
The Goblin King stared at the map for a long time, then turned to look at a Goblin hero standing behind him.
It slowly opened its mouth and said in a low voice.
"Gu Abu, send two teams of "hounds" to keep an eye on the place I mentioned yesterday."
"No need to go deep, just let them place poisonous snake eyes around them."
The so-called snake's eye is a natural magical thing made by a shaman. It has a second-level concealment effect and can monitor a designated area.
The Goblin King does not speak the common language of the continent, but the language unique to Goblin.
The Goblin hero named Gu Abu nodded seriously without saying much.
It raised its head and looked directly at the Goblin King, asking in a rough voice.
"King, where do these strange people come from?"
Although there are clear class distinctions among goblins, they do not have complicated etiquette rules like other intelligent races. For them, etiquette is a useless thing.
Guab's question was also a common doubt in the hearts of all the Goblin heroes present.
Among the Goblin tribe, Goblin Shaman, Goblin Hero, and Goblin King all have relatively high intelligence, so they have long discovered the sudden appearance of the lords.
These humans who suddenly appeared established settlements of various sizes in a very short period of time. This was a very abnormal situation, so abnormal that even the goblins were aware of it.
The Goblin King shook his head, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I have no idea…"
"It's like these guys fell from the sky."
"There has been no large-scale population dispersion or migration in nearby villages."
It said very rationally that as the king of this Goblin tribe, it looked more like a wise man, very organized in both thinking and decision-making, which created a sharp contrast between it and the low-level Goblins.
.
After hearing his words, all the Goblin heroes fell silent.
The ancient Abu who received its order quickly walked out of the simple house to complete the task assigned by it.
These guys have no concept of politeness at all and are straightforward in everything they do.
The Goblin King watched Gu Abu leave, then turned back to the wooden table.
Suddenly he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it hard into the leather map on the table.
"This is a good opportunity for the species to reproduce."
"We need more food and men and women..."
"I don't want to see the cubs continue to fuck with the beast."
"The current degradation rate of the ethnic group is really too high..."
It muttered to itself in a deep voice, like the roar of a wild beast.
As a tribal leader, it needs to consider many issues.
For it, having wisdom is not a happy thing.
A wise man often has to bear a lot of troubles, especially a king.
Even if it is the king of the dirty and stupid goblins, it still has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reproducing the group.
The large primitive thatched house became quiet again.
Apart from the occasional screams and groans of pain, the only sounds in the entire Goblin tribe were the disgusting sounds of grinding teeth and swallowing saliva.
…
It's about 2:40 p.m.
Zong Shen woke up leisurely at Luna's call.
The warm quilt made him feel very comfortable, just like the warm breast of a girl.
Someone once said that leaving the winter quilt is like leaving a woman's lap, it requires a lot of perseverance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I saw Zong Shen opened his eyes, with an empty look on his face, but had no intention of getting up.
Luna sat obediently on the edge of the bed, reaching out and caressing his face.
During this period of time, Zong Shen never shaved.
Dense stubble has grown on his cheeks and chin.
The stubble is not even half a centimeter long and feels like bristles.
Make him look more masculine.
"ha…"
"Hoo ho!"
Zong Shen yawned lazily and grabbed Luna's little hand.
He sat up on the bed, and the room became very warm because of the magic heat ball.
The windows on both sides of the room were all wet.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside became prominent, melting the thin layer of ice outside the windows.
It looked like it had just rained.
"Luna, you and Vereesa go to the living area to pick up people now."
"In a moment, put the magic heat balls on your bodies in the cargo bays of the two loader mechas."
"Tell Doris to do the same."
"If she doesn't have enough heat balls, let Howie give her his own first."
Zong Shen gently rubbed the back of Luna's tender hand with his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, sir, I'll do it right away."
Luna also showed a gentle smile and leaned her face closer.
He gently kissed the side of Zong Shen's face with his full red lips.
This kiss full of love was like a surprise in the horizon, fleeting.
The warmth on her cheeks was still there, but Luna had already moved away quickly.
Before the snow gets heavier, this should be the last collective hunt for the winter snow monster.
When the snow accumulates to the point where even the load-bearing mechas cannot effectively clear it, large-scale collective travel will become a luxury.
As for the third stage of winter, Zong Shen has other arrangements regarding the winter treasure chest and the ice monsters with points. The specifics will not be decided until the climate changes after the start of the third stage.
This round of challenges gave him a headache. Rather than facing the bad weather, he would rather deal with the huge group of cave monsters.
The Crypt Challenge and the Winter Challenge have completely different meanings.
The former is mainly about combat, requiring the lords to bravely face the group of cave monsters that gather together like a black tide.
Even though the crypt monsters among them have generally been weakened to varying degrees, the pressure of the monster group is still enough to make people frightened.
The duration of the crypt challenge reaches a full seven days. During this period, the intensity of the challenge will increase step by step, making it a group battle feast.
High-intensity fighting and fighting are the best whetstones for making swords sharp.
In fact, after the crypt challenge, the surviving lords did make different progress.
This progress is comprehensive and comprehensive, and everyone becomes familiar with this strange world and the cruel fighting and fighting.
The bloody battle was like a deep, cold pool, holding down everyone's head and quenching it, making everyone sharp and hard amid the hissing of pain and boiling fear.
The Winter Challenge does not focus on combat. The climate change is more about challenging the physiological limits of the lords. The Winter Snow Monster and Winter Treasure Box are also a means of embellishment and motivation.
The climate challenge alone is like a tank of stagnant water. Only by adding some other elements can everyone become more active.
In addition to these superficial characteristics, for most ordinary lords, this challenge is actually more merciful than the crypt challenge.
Because it sets basic survival points, even if you stay in the territory, as long as you are lucky enough and are not attacked, you can still get a large amount of points without being injured.
The total survival points for four days are several thousand points. You must know that in the last round, due to the pyramid-shaped strength structure, most lords may not be able to get so many points.
After all, not everyone can chop and kill like Zong Shen.
They basically counterattack passively and are in a situation with very little initiative.
This is the biggest difference between aggressive lords and ordinary lords.
This time's challenge is obviously more friendly to the ordinary lords who make up the vast majority.
For an enterprising lord like Zong Shen, even if he is powerful, the efficiency of obtaining points will be greatly affected, and he will not be able to do it like in the crypt challenge.
The monsters outside are like points with legs. As long as you have enough strength, they will give you whatever they want.
This is probably the essential difference between the two challenges.
Again, the lord system does not want to engage in a massacre or mass extinction.
Its purpose is to cultivate lords so that everyone can grow quickly.
Zong Shen sat on the bed for a while, relaxing by thinking.
Then he decisively turned over and began to put on the armor piece by piece.
He fastened the inner buttons of his bearskin coat one by one, and put on the heavy [Benedick's Charge Cloak]. He had never fallen in love with this big cloak, even in the dead of winter.
Not only is it too thick and heavy, but its size does not meet ordinary people's standards.
With Zong Shen's naked height of 1.78 meters, coupled with the improvement of his stature with combat boots, armor, and combat helmets, he can reach a height of more than 1.8 meters when fully armed.
Even at this height, after putting on the assault cloak, its hem still dropped to the ground.
It even spread to dozens of centimeters behind Zong Shen's feet, dragging like a king's foot-binding cloth.
But this cloak is not the king's sacrificial quilt when attending grand events.
This means that the original owner of this cloak was at least a tall man with a height of over 2.2 meters.
This feeling of procrastination and cumbersomeness made Zong Shen uncomfortable.
However, for the sake of those attribute gains and warmth, he decided to keep it as it was.
After everyone was dressed neatly, Zong Shen quickly went downstairs and walked straight out of the lord's small building.
It was already seven minutes past three in the afternoon, and the sleet outside turned into moderate snow.
The snow on the ground collapsed, turning into irregular patches of melted ice with a bumpy appearance.
The ice formed after the half-melt and collapse is not hard, at least it is more fragile than the underlying thick ice that is completely solidified by freezing rain.
Zong Shen's footsteps in his rabbit fur boots would break the melting ice every time he hit the ground, leaving a footprint several centimeters thick.
The ground became increasingly slippery, like a sandwich biscuit that was soft on top and hard on the bottom.
The thickness of the melted ice is also about ten centimeters, and its existence greatly reduces the effect of the anti-slip chain spurs.
The metal spikes, which are only a few centimeters long, cannot penetrate the solid ice.
And those loose melting ice can't provide much friction.
As Zong Shen moves, large areas of ice will often be disturbed.
"This damn weather..."
"How disgusting!"
Zong Shen could clearly feel the changes under his feet.
This forced him to move forward carefully.
When he came to the open space outside the lord's courtyard, Luna and Vereesa were already driving a snow-plowing version of the loader mecha, full of soldiers waiting for his order.
The wind and snow were still there, and this time a [Magic Heat Ball] was placed in the cargo hold of the loader mecha.
Zong Shen hopes to take this measure to improve the endurance of the battle.
