Chapter 0517: Plague Outbreak
It was because of her knowledge of the power of wizards that Vanessa would never be able to forgive the hateful enemy who had introduced wizards to the goblin plane!
If it weren't for the fact that the power in her hands was not enough to wipe out the hostile forces, she would have stabbed the sword into the heart of that hateful fellow with her own hands. It...... It's so disgusting that it's put the entire goblin plane in danger of total annihilation for its own sake.
Such a guy should be cut with a thousand cuts......
Cursing hatefully, Vanessa pushed open the wooden door and onto the small terrace outside her dwelling.
It is a metal castle with a strong goblin style.
Although the layout of the building is similar to that of a human castle, there are huge and very different materials in the construction materials. Human castles are mostly made of earth, wood and boulders, while goblin castles are mainly made of a large number of metal components, occasionally supplemented by wood. Even those wooden walls had to be clad with a sturdy metal cladding to enhance their sturdiness.
So from a distance, this royal castle belonging to the royal family of Andermai looks like a steel castle made of pure metal, with the characteristic golden reflection of alloy materials reflected everywhere.
Due to the short size of the goblins, the goblin buildings are also mainly short and sturdy. As for the style, the goblin architect has exerted his creative and divergent thinking to create a strange shape of the goblin building.
If nothing else, the roofs of a single goblin building are strange and varied.
There are round mushroom roofs, cone-shaped rocket roofs, lightning rod-like thorn roofs, and strange roofs carved out of their own heads......
Therefore, if you look at the past from a high place, you will not find two buildings that are exactly the same in the entire Goblin Castle.
Due to the emphasis on frugality and frugality, the roads between the goblin buildings for pedestrians are extremely narrow and congested. And there are all kinds of wires, levers, and winches pulling between buildings, and there are metal flaps, suspension bridges, and trolleys sliding on the tracks......
And most of the buildings are still steam-powered, so they can't stop emitting black smoke from their towering iron chimneys. And on the streets, goblins ride on chocobos, puppet beasts, and self-propelled robots, and walk through the streets and alleys with high spirits.
At the far end of the line, a caravan of goblins had reached the edge of the goblin castle, and the head of the caravan, the Greenland Spirit, wielding a leather whip, was directing the enslaves to unload piles of goods and goods from the tall bodies of the Kodomon.
Above the castle, goblin helicopters swept across the sky with the cacophony of mechanical creations. A large goblin airship is slowly approaching the airport at the edge of the castle, and there is an endless stream of goblins up and down.
Slowly sweeping over the goblin people who lived and worked peacefully under her rule, Princess Vanessa felt both endless pride and pride, as well as indescribable trepidation and uneasiness.
She loved these people, she loved her kingdom, she loved the civilization of the goblins...... But all of that has been changed by a sudden burst of magical energy.
Magical energy represents a cleaner and more efficient source of energy, and it can never be cut off, so no goblin can refuse this new energy source that represents a great future at the beginning of their contact with magical energy.
But for some reason, the more demonic energy comes into contact, the more vulnerable the goblins' small minds are more likely to be polluted.
And the heads of the major chaebols and consortia of venture capital companies led by Ghazruvi have become arrogant and greedy, and they even want to get involved in those terrible evil forces that do not belong to the goblins.
Why Gazruvi hooked up with the wizarding world and introduced the evil wizard to the goblin plane, this reason Vanessa can vaguely guess. After all, a 96-year-old over-age goblin, when it has mastered super power, what it wants to do most is nothing more than to let himself live longer and live more nourishingly.
And these can never be solved with the Goblin Civilization!
So, for selfish and evil purposes, that bastard introduced even more evil and terrifying wizards into his homeland. And all this is nothing more than the useless struggle of a dying old goblin.
The Thor Titan engineering drawings sent back by Tigul made almost all the royal goblin engineers fascinated and obsessed with it. The basic strength of the 4th order can simply perfectly integrate the goblin construction machinery and alchemy technology, and become the most powerful war weapon to witness the rise of the goblin empire.
Once such a thing is successful, it will inevitably make the participating engineers and alchemists famous through the ages, and become the sages and sages worshipped by countless goblin descendants.
Such a great temptation that no goblin could refuse!
According to Vanessa's information, after the engineering drawings were transmitted to the Royal Academy of Engineering, those gray-haired goblin engineers had not slept for three days and three nights. They summoned all the goblin engineers, and then invited a group of old guys from the Alchemy Association to help, and they were in full swing to study and discuss every detail and core technology of the Thor Titan.
In order to conduct experiments, they have applied for 17 major engineering projects, 21 core material metal experiments, 175 technical verification tests, and five space furnace miniature technology feasibility studies......
According to their posture, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support such a huge project even if the treasury of the imperial family is emptied. Moreover, if the wealth and resources of the royal family are poured into this illusory Thor's Titan plan, then the royal family's plan to form its own magic army will inevitably be delayed.
Without the new Legion, what would the Goblin Royalty do to fight against the private mercenaries of Ghazruvi? Without the new Legion, what could the Goblin Royalty do in the face of the invasion of evil wizards?
If it was not the goblin royal army that defeated the wizard, but the private army of Ghazruvi, then in the hearts of thousands of goblins, the goblin royal family would have lost its duty of divine protection. At that time, what else can the goblin royal family do except sit and watch Gazruvi retract the hearts of the people that belong to them little by little?
The more she thought about it, the more gloomy Vanessa became, and in many cases, the terrible weight on her thin shoulders far exceeded the weight of all the goblins of her age combined.
If it weren't for the support of the royal family's bloodline, she was not allowed to make any retreats and compromises, I am afraid that she would be like other 11-year-old goblin princesses, doing her favorite engineering experiments, driving the alchemy creations she built herself, and no longer have to worry about the suffering and problems that are yet to come!
Pity...... She is Vanessa, she is the eldest princess of the Great Goblin Empire, and she is the most powerful goblin of the Undermai royal family. In such an environment, she can only throw away her dress, put on her armor, and do what she can and work hard for the life and death of the goblin royal family!
However, just as Vanessa was holding on to the metal railing and looking at the people of her castle, a panicked goblin maid rushed in.
"Oh no...... Oh no...... Your Royal Highness Princess, just now the Minister of State came to report that a large-scale plague has suddenly broken out in various parts of the empire......"
The petite and beautiful Princess Vanessa landed on the scepter in her hand.
…………
The plague has broken out!
It was as if a plague reaper had just wandered the territory of the Goblin Empire, and a terrifying plague of astonishing scale broke out in the entire Goblin Empire, from south to north and from east to west.
All goblins infected with the plague have a characteristic of ulcers all over their bodies, and their green skin is covered with large and small spots of bleeding. Once infected with the plague, even the strongest goblin will collapse in an instant, and become a poor creature who will only scratch his body, scratch his skin and flesh, and then vomit blood!
In the history of the development of the goblin plane, there have not been large-scale plague outbreaks. But that kind of plague generally has a clear and intuitive source, and as long as the traffic is cut off, the scale of the plague outbreak will always be greatly limited.
However, this plague is clearly different from the past, not only the scale of the outbreak is huge, but the characteristics of the outbreak are even more strange and terrifying to the goblins.
That's ...... The lethality rate of this plague is surprisingly low!
It's as if some demon god wants to play a vicious joke on the goblins, and although the number of goblins infected with the plague has skyrocketed, the number of deaths is not much.
Among the goblins infected with the plague, except for those who were very weak and could not withstand the torture of the plague toadstool and died, most of the goblins died in pain and suffered all kinds of torture, but they never died and were not robbed of the last bit of life by the plague toads.
This also proves that the source of the plague comes from those evil wizards!
A number of goblin doctors sent by the Goblin Royal Family finally discovered that the root cause of the plague outbreak was the contamination of the goblins' water source, but this obviously did not help. Large-scale outbreaks of plague spread rapidly from goblin to goblin, and from cities to towns, and from villages and towns to settlements large and small.
The weakening of the earth's energy immediately triggered a backlash, and the miserable alien races who were oppressed by the goblins immediately set off a vigorous wave of rebellion in various places. Due to the large number of goblin mechanics who are the main combat force have been infected with the plague, the goblin towns scattered all over the country lack the protection of powerful magical weapons and have fallen into the hands of aliens.
In order to protect themselves, those goblin towns that have not yet fallen have to start massacring alien slaves in their territory on a large scale, and this will inevitably cause fierce resistance from the other side.
For a time, the goblin garrison, militia team, and local legions fought with the alien race in succession, and both sides suffered countless casualties.
A terrible plague that has swept through the goblin plane has plunged the goblin empire into turmoil!
