Chapter 0520: Night Exploration Camp
It's a typical goblin civil war!
Due to the limitation of the site, the scale of the civil war was not large, but the process of the battle was unusually tragic and bloody.
The leaders of both sides are trapped in a metal ore reserve warehouse with an area of no more than 700 square meters, and the troops from the periphery are still pouring into it. This also made this land of projectiles instantly become a Shura slaughterhouse where the main forces of the two sides were strangled to life and death.
The royal guards protecting the princess were in an extremely awkward position at the moment.
In front of them, there were twenty or thirty battle magic weapons fighting to the death, and behind them, there were enemy death squads desperately entangled, and they were caught in the middle. For a while, I didn't know where to flee.
After all, the goblin town belongs to the royal domain, and the number of goblin fighting troops hoarded here is undoubtedly far more than the private army of Gazruvi that has been recruited. But unfortunately, it is precisely because the numerical advantage is so obvious that Princess Vanessa and the Minister of War have relaxed their vigilance.
They really couldn't imagine that this arrogant Ghazruwe would dare to do such a barbaric thing of robbing and capturing people in their land.
When the evil wizard was making waves on the goblin plane, the old goblin not only ignored the olive branch thrown by Her Royal Highness the princess, but instead put on a posture that he would rather provoke a goblin civil war than snatch the princess. This...... This kind of brainless action is obviously beyond the scope of normal goblin thinking!
So Princess Vanessa staggered as the guards retreated, and murmured bitterly, "Crazy...... Lose your marbles...... It must be crazy......"
Even as smart as she was, it was hard to understand the madness of a dying old goblin. Especially when this dying old goblin still sees himself as the future and hope of the goblin empire in his heart, and when his life comes to the end, how strong is the hope of the valley of survival that it bursts out!
If the Great Goblin Empire can't rise under its leadership, then it'd rather all the goblins sink with it!
The battle is still raging......
As the main attacker, although the number of private troops secretly brought by the old goblin was not as good as the local garrison, but in terms of equipment quality and combat quality, it was far above the royal guards who had been absent for a long time. And before coming, the old goblin private army seemed to have already determined the goal of this trip.
Therefore, their attack targets are clear, the battle layout is reasonable, and almost as soon as the battle begins, they control all the strategic points around the reserve warehouse through the ground and air routes.
Although the royal guards in the warehouse are still struggling to resist, they are at a clear disadvantage. Under the encirclement of the other party, the number of soldiers of the royal guard was drastically reduced, and soon dropped from the initial 100 to less than 10.
As for the garrison arranged here by the royal family, due to the suddenness of the incident, it was blocked by a magic weapon unit and it was difficult to get close. So at the same time, inside and outside the warehouse, there were battle weapons that caught and killed each other, as well as goblin warriors who cooperated with the battle.
Magical weapons, alchemy weapons, and* weapons are ubiquitous on the battlefield, and have been transformed into fearsome murderous weapons by clever goblins. At every moment, dozens or even nearly a hundred goblins fell to the ground in pain, falling victim to this chaotic battle.
When the last of the goblin guards was shot through a sieve, only Princess Vanessa and Tigul were left alone. And they'll have to deal with double-digit battle weapons and three-digit goblin mercenaries.
Among them, there are as many as 3 enemy Tier 1 goblin mechanics of the same rank as Tigul, and they also control all Tier 2 magic weapons.
After a series of bloody battles, the spider magic weapon controlled by Tigul has also been scarred, and its combat performance has been greatly reduced.
Of the eight knuckles evenly distributed on both sides of the body, only five were left at the moment, and most of the rapid musket firing matrix that densely spread around the spider's body was also smashed. Even the high-radiation flamethrower that perched high on the back of the spider's metal body had long since disappeared, leaving only a half-metal base there......
If only these problems are faced, then it is still impossible to trap the decisive Tigul on the battlefield in front of him. However, without the protection of the guards, Vanessa hid behind her, which also made it impossible for Tigul to move at high speed to dodge the enemy's magic weapon attacks.
In many cases, it even had to actively use its metal body to shield Vanessa from stray bullets and 'accidental injuries'. Therefore, when it faced the enemy who was slowly approaching in a circle, even the invincible Tigul had a trace of frustration that he had the intention to kill the enemy and could not return to the sky.
Click......
When the countless black holes and muzzles forced them to the center, Tigul threw away the Tier 1 magic weapon that had been torn in half in his hand, and gave up resistance with a gloomy face.
At such a close distance, as many enemies as there were, it was impossible to keep the princess safe. If she continues to do so, any stray bullet could cause fatal harm to Princess Vanessa. At that time, no matter how many enemies it killed, it was destined to be unable to save the princess's life.
And the loss of the princess is definitely unbearable bad news for the goblin empire!
So, the princess must live!
When Princess Vanessa fell intact into the hands of the old goblins, the fighting on the periphery began to cease.
All the royal goblin commanders were at a loss, not knowing whether to continue the offensive or immediately turn to negotiations with the enemy. Under the rat trap, even the old goblins wrapped Princess Vanessa on the goblin airship that came to meet them, and the royal goblin legion did not dare to attack indiscriminately, and could only watch them leave the battlefield.
…………
The battle, which took place near the Royal Castle, began abruptly and ended abruptly.
If it weren't for Mary's 'eyeliner' planted inside the goblin in advance, I'm afraid the wizard side would not have known that the heads of the two major forces in the goblin plane had secretly met.
Due to the very strict information blockade on the goblin side, Grim and the others only got specific information three days after the incident. At that time, the old goblin Gazruvi had already returned to the steel capital with his 'loot'.
It was originally the capital of the Goblin Empire and belonged to the sphere of influence of the Goblin Imperial Family. But with the rise of the goblin radicals, the Iron City gradually became a meeting place for major chaebols and conglomerates.
Especially in recent decades, with the deepening of research on magic energy, a large amount of wealth and resources have rapidly converged in the hands of venture capital companies led by Gazruvi. As a result, these radical goblins recruited troops everywhere to produce magic weapons on a large scale, and soon formed an increasingly large goblin organization with the armed chamber of commerce as the main body.
The leaders of these goblin chambers are businessmen, chaebols, and a group of robbers with powerful weapons.
Under their persecution, the conservative traditionalist goblin forces could only withdraw from the power operation center of the goblin empire - the steel capital.
So, the current steel capital has become the base camp of the crazy old goblin Gazruvi!
Grim has vague and incoherent information about the battle that has erupted between the goblin traditionalists and the radicals. So much so that Grim still can't figure out what the crazy old goblin was thinking?
Wealth and resources?For the natives of a small plane, Ghazruvi is already one step away from being the first person in the plane. It stands to reason that it should no longer use such radical methods to stir up the anger of traditionalists!
The only thing that can explain its behavior is a rumor circulating in the goblin plane. Legend has it that the only thing the world's smartest goblin thinks about right now is eternal life. And all the crazy things it's doing so far may have something to do with a plan called 'eternal life'.
Just as Grim and the others were gathered in a hidden hilly mountain range, a mysterious guest suddenly arrived in their camp.
Tigul!
…………
Night was falling.
Beneath the beautiful starry sky is a quiet and deep forest.
Tigul broke into the wizarding camp alone as a goblin, and then presented Grimm with a draft cooperation agreement with the goblin royal seal in front of a bright campfire.
As the leader of the wizards, Grim was certainly the first to see this strange protocol.
After reading the agreement with a strange expression, Grim casually shoved the parchment into Alice's hand, and then silently examined the tired, haggard goblin god of war through the campfire.
Alice quickly read it and passed it on to Mary......
Then, in the shortest possible time, all the wizards sitting around the campfire circulated the agreement.
While Grimm was scrutinizing Tigul, the goblin god of war was secretly observing every mysterious wizard in the camp.
I have to admit that in terms of appearance alone, these otherworldly wizards are indeed worthy of their name, mysterious, weird, evil, and surprisingly powerful.
According to Tigul, when these wizards first appeared, there seemed to be only one of them, and that was the strange insect witch who was wrapped in thick black robes. His strength is as strange and powerful as his appearance, capable of driving away not only terrifying scorpions, but even his body can transform into thousands of disembodied black beetles.
With this strange and powerful ability, it is difficult for the goblin to really hurt his body with the weapon in his hand. It is said that this terrible insect witch did not die even after being bombarded by a goblin cannon when he fought against Prince Ghazruvi.
And the next time he appeared, the goblin couldn't even find any signs of weakness or injury in his body.
An evil wizard who can't be killed no matter what!
This...... For Tigul, who knew the power of the goblin cannon, it was simply a terrible opponent that he was most unwilling to face!
However, such an evil wizard is clearly on the margins of this wizard camp. This can be seen from the order in which the agreements are circulated.
While the wizards of the camp seem to maintain a good relationship and are able to share valuable information so openly, there is still a very clear hierarchy gap between them.
