There was still black blood stains on the thin stabbing sword, and the damaged clothes and scratches all over his body showed a bit of prowess. After fighting for his life, Zhou Qingfeng looked murderous, and the orders he gave were short and clear, which made people believe him.
Both goblins and 'warriors' have poor combat effectiveness. The battle depends entirely on the ability of the commander. However, the gains from a bad battle are huge.
Zhou Qingfeng completely captured two complete light trebuchets. Even the human craftsmen who operated the trebuchets did not escape. He caught them all. To be precise, the craftsmen cried when they saw him, a human adventurer.
Shouting and running out to seek refuge.
These craftsmen come from a city called "Cold Wind City" outside the Black Forest. It is said to have a population of 20,000 and is one of the larger cities in the North. They were tricked, kidnapped, and threatened into the Black Forest by the old Hughes from the Mortar Pit.
The forest has become the slave of the goblins.
Zhou Qingfeng became the liberator of mankind in the eyes of the craftsmen. They were so tortured that they almost fell to the ground, bowed their heads and prayed for help from heroes.
"These craftsmen are better than the waste in the Voodoo Swamp, right?" Zhou Qingfeng helped the craftsmen up one by one and simply asked their names. There were five of them in total, and there was a middle-aged man named Wilson who looked calmer and was
Assigned as team leader to direct others.
"Carry the trebuchet away. We may need it in the future. Take the vehicles behind and evacuate immediately. Old Borg, take people to erase the traces and don't let those goblins track us." Zhou Qingfeng ordered.
The animals pulling the cart include cattle, horses, and even wargs unique to goblins. Those wargs refused to accept the driving of humans and had to be killed on the spot. The wolf carcasses can also be used to add food, and the wolf skin can also keep out the cold.
After a quick inspection of the supplies in the convoy, there was a cart of field equipment, a cart of horse feed, a cart of dried meat, two carts of rye flour, and a box of gold and silver coins. These were prepared for the troops besieging the White Crow Camp, of which the gold
Silver is to reward human traitors.
Wilson, the leader of the craftsmen, said that the Magru tribe spent a lot of money to purchase these from Cold Wind City. In order to control the Black Forest, the goblins tried every means and took out all the wealth they had accumulated over the years and made a desperate move.
The Black Forest is extremely poor. All supplies must be purchased from the outside world, which costs a lot of money. If the expected goal is not achieved, the power of the Magru tribe will be severely damaged - it is not easy for goblins to save money. If the loss is too big, their strength will be reduced.
It will really plummet.
It is said that for an operation that costs so much and risks the fate of the race, every step must be carefully studied and planned carefully to avoid failure. However, such an important logistics team is only led by two bugbears to protect it. This is too careless.
But judging from Wilson's description, this 'carelessness' is reasonable. Goblins, that's what they are like. When they have some power, they are full of confidence, but the wealth they have finally accumulated will be quickly wasted.
Now that a baggage team has been lost, all the good things in the team are cheap for Zhou Qingfeng. The accompanying "warriors" circled around the team several times, all cheering and cheering. Their morale was once again high, and they looked somewhat heroic.
Zhou Qingfeng had to impose strict discipline again and asked all the 'warriors' to shut up and not reveal any details of this operation. He told all his men to keep silent with just one sentence - the more other people in the Voodoo Swamp know, the more you will know.
The less points you get.
With such coercion and inducement, half-blinded and half-deceived, Zhou Qingfeng led the team back to the Voodoo Swamp before dark. The people in the settlement were naturally surprised, but no matter how they asked, the 'warriors' in the team did not speak, and were
When asked in a hurry, the new word 'discipline' popped up.
After just one trip, he had gained so much in half a day, and all the people in the settlement were red-eyed. Immediately, hundreds of people flocked to Zhou Qingfeng's tent, crying and demanding to become 'Master Hugo'
's subordinates.
If you can't become a subordinate, as long as you have food to eat, you can be a slave.
The noise could not be suppressed, and people kept trying to rush into Zhou Qingfeng's tent. At present, the settlement was running out of food, and the hungry people were desperate to survive.
"It's not easy to raise these three hundred people." Zhou Qingfeng arranged fifteen good-for-nothing 'warriors' outside, holding light crossbows to block the people who kept coming.
To be honest, his original intention was definitely not to raise any waste. But under the current situation, he had to raise him or her, at least half of them. At the same time, he had to keep the other half from starving to death or rebelling.
"Let's make porridge first and then eat a big pot of rice." Zhou Qingfeng called Rubio and appointed him as the temporary housekeeper, releasing a certain amount of food to appease the restless waste in the settlement.
After waiting for a bowl of gruel to be eaten, Uncle Zhou ordered another expansion. He appointed fifteen useless 'warriors' as team leaders, and each recruited ten team members. The recruited people started working - repairing the voodoo swamp.
.
Make tools, fill roads, clean up garbage, build walls, dig wells and toilets, wash and cook, in short, there is endless work. Whether it is done well or not, Zhou Qingfeng personally checks and decides.
Can the people who work have enough to eat?
I am creating jobs!
As long as they maintain employment and have enough food and clothing, the people will not cause trouble. Naturally, Zhou Qingfeng's current status will be stabilized.
There was no words for the night, and for the next two days Zhou Qingfeng simply stayed in the settlement to train his men.
As for the goblins, it actually took two days to confirm this - one of their own baggage convoys transporting trebuchets has not arrived at the front line of White Crow Camp from the mortar pit, and it must have been robbed.
The slowness of this response is truly staggering.
The first person who noticed something was wrong was not the goblins staying in the Mortar Pit, but the human traitor responsible for besieging the White Crow Camp, Old Hughes, the leader of the Mortar Pit.
This jungle wanderer has a pair of fierce and cunning eyes. For his own benefit, he can betray anyone without hesitation. This time he believed that the Maguru tribe had a greater chance of winning, so he did not hesitate to raise his weapon against his own kind.
Butcher knife.
On the night when Zhou Qingfeng succeeded in the robbery, Old Xius was yelling angrily in the camp outside the White Crow Camp. The baggage team escorted by the two bugbears not only brought the trebuchet to destroy the solid wall, but also a batch of
tent.
The temperature in the Black Forest is comfortable during the day, but very cold at night. The goblins have to hide in the woods for shelter from the wind, and humans need a warm place to live. Old Hughes took fifty of his men and rushed to the White Crow Camp lightly, and that night
Suffered a hard night in the wild by a campfire.
This kind of suffering severely consumed physical strength and had a great impact on the war. It was supposed that the tent should be delivered soon, but when Old Hughes waited until night, only the cold wind came and nothing else came.
"Damn goblins, they must have delayed things." The first thing Old Hughes suspected was not that someone was blocking the road and robbing. Instead, he felt that the goblins' laziness and confusion caused the logistics supplies to not be delivered.
After all, those goblins have never been reliable in their work.
The middle and low-level goblin soldiers and officers can only yell "Oke Oke". Their goblin language only has this pronunciation. All meanings are expressed by changes in the tone, and outsiders cannot understand it at all.
Goblins who can speak Common Language are all high-level, but what they are best at is dancing and praying to the spirits of their ancestors. If you let them do work that requires coordination and organization, they will definitely mess up.
On the second day of the siege, Old Hughes did nothing. All of his men looked livid, and on the third day they quickly sent people back to the mortar pit to supervise the transportation of supplies.
There are a few human traitors in the Mortar Pit who are responsible for managing logistics. When they heard that some supplies were not delivered to the front line, they cursed loudly. They also thought that it was the laziness of the goblins that ruined the event.
So the traitors quickly investigated where the baggage train had gone.
After a whole day of investigation, Old Xiu Si's men and horses continued to stay up all night in the cold wind, suffering unspeakably. Due to lack of food and clothing, many adventurers were frozen and sick, and suffered non-combat losses.
On the fifth day after the war, the official battle had not yet started. Instead, an investigation report was placed in front of the old goblin shaman Zul. Grayskin - a human force attacked our baggage train and caused heavy losses.
.
It was the humans who made the first move?
As for who attacked the goblin baggage train?
The goblins who escaped and survived couldn't explain it clearly, but they had a profound impact-the human leader was wrapped in a mist, his weapon was a thin stabbing sword, and he was good at stabbing people in the butt. He was the worst!
