Chapter 1004: Ready to Move
The small town of Songta.
As a human city developed from a wilderness town, the aborigines in the city have become very scarce, and are gradually being replaced by a large influx of new people.
After all, the Flame Throne Witch Tower is a place for wizards to live and study, and it is not suitable for the increasingly busy internal affairs of the family. So, twenty years ago, Gargamel had already relocated its permanent office to the small town of Songta.
Since then, two centers of activity have emerged within the family.
Wizards and apprentices conduct their own sorcery research and family quest trials centered around the Flame Throne Witch Tower. The daily handover of secular aristocrats and local resource points, as well as disputes and appeals, are handled in the small city of Songta.
Therefore, as the sub-center, Songta Town has undergone a series of expansions and renovations, and the original low and old old buildings have been torn down and all built into rows of exquisite villas. And for privacy reasons, each small building is equipped with a unique defensive witchcraft array and witchcraft barrier, which can isolate the outside world from detection.
Therefore, those wandering wizards or foreign apprentices who are not qualified to enter the Flame Throne Witch Tower are very fond of renting a villa as their own place to stay. Even when the magnates from all over the world came to the small town of Songta to meet the Gargamel master, they had to stop here for a few days.
As the territory and affairs of the Crimson family became more and more complicated, the floating population of Songta Town came and went every day was about one or two thousand, and there were also 13,000 permanent personnel. Such a large number of high-end people naturally drove the consumption content of catering, entertainment and other consumption in the small town.
It has to be said that Songta City, whose population can barely reach the size of a small city, is the highest in terms of all aspects of life level and quality, even in the entire Elovis region.
However, with the outbreak of the wizarding war, almost all the outer territories of the Crimson family fell, so those powerful and wizards and apprentices loyal to the family could only flee back to Songta City in embarrassment.
For a time, all the high-end villas, inns, and hotels in the city were full of aristocrats from all over the world, but they still couldn't stop the influx of a large number of latecomers. Eventually, strange magical tents began to appear in large numbers, and were soon encased by nobles who had nowhere to stay.
All the landless nobles gathered in Songta City, and ran around every day to inquire about the situation of the war ahead.
This was the last stop they could retreat.
If...... If the Crimson family can't resist the invasion of the other party, then with the fall of Songta City, it is inevitable that their group will fall into the hands of the Fabreth family. With the previous enmity between the two sides, and the cruelty of the Fabreth family, what will happen to these nobles who once rejected each other's recruitment, can be imagined with little fingers.
Therefore, whenever a large-scale battle broke out in the south, the people began to pray silently for the favor of the god of luck.
If the Crimson family had won and repelled the enemy's attack, then they would have rejoiced and excited. If the Crimson family loses the battle and loses a territory, they cough and sigh, and the clouds of sorrow are thick.
As the daily war progressed, the hearts of many nobles in Songta City also fluctuated, like a roller coaster, wandering between heaven and hell every day.

Villa area.
In a beautiful villa, dozens of goblin magnates dressed in gorgeous costumes are arguing fiercely here.
"We can't go on like this...... "A guy in a crisp military uniform, who knew at a glance that it was from the Mussen merchant group who liked to trade arms, waved his arms and shouted, "The sacrifices we have made in the past few days have been great enough, and we can't go on any longer......"
"Yes, yes...... a goblin next to him quickly echoed: "I have already counted, in the past month, the number of trap warlocks who have died on the battlefield has been as high as 200, and what about those human wizards? less than 5 have died...... It's not fair!"
"There's nothing unfair about this!" an old goblin with tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose and a research institute shook his head: "Human wizards like to fight under the protection of magic weapons, but our goblin machine warlocks are all on the front line, and the casualty ratio is naturally different!"
"But most of the sacrifices of war have fallen on our goblins, but their status is still not as high as those human wizards...... We have to come forward to protest and fight for ......"
"When, when, now?" the old goblin raised his hand to the frame, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his dark green face, "Are you sure you want to discuss the treatment of front-line warlocks with Gargamel when the war is at its hottest?"
At the mention of the sinister and vicious Gargamel, the goblins who were shouting loudly just now immediately became dumbfounded, and said, "...... Anyway, we have to fight for the interests of our compatriots......"
"Fool! benefits are exchanged for blood and sweat, not by shouting in a loud voice......" A trace of pain flashed between the old goblin's eyebrows: "We can only choose to cling to the Crimson family now, and if we want to fight for the interests of our juniors, we must dare to fight and rush, and fight for real achievements and merits, instead of trying to drag our feet back." ”
Speaking of this, the old goblin looked up at the many clansmen in the room, and said earnestly: "I know that some of you guys here have already been in contact with each other, and have also received certain promises. However, I need you to think carefully about what you plan to use to supervise the execution of your previous promises if the Crimson Family is really defeated?"
The goblin sage Kirby sat on top with Erlang's legs crossed, letting the two beautiful women beside him hold their shoulders, smoking a thick cigar, while quietly looking at the several goblin leaders present.
Deputy Blackwater Chaebol Leader Jemisini Purse......
Lazel, executive director of the venture capital firm......
Mordkin, the head of the Mussen Business Group......
Vice President of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce Consortium Bosh......
Wizard Locke, president of the Wizards of the Mechanics Federation......
Duhira Lazaré, leader of the Stormbloods......
……
Truth be told, the people who can appear in this room are all up-and-coming powerhouses of the goblin clan. Although most of the elves sent by the various elves are deputies or subordinates, they can also represent the great forces behind them with full authority.
In contrast, Locke, the magician, and Duheila, the leader of the Trapsman, who are absolutely weak in numbers and power, rarely speak, but like Kirby, the convener, they are coldly watching the clown-like performance of the representatives of several major forces.
Compared to the Blackwater chaebols, venture capital firms, and the Mussen Merchant Group, the Mechanics and Mechanics are still a small number, but they represent the future of the goblins.
And these guys who have been deeply immersed and transformed by the wizarding system, at this moment, are obviously no longer in the same mind as their former companions. As for the old goblin who represents the director of the Goblin Research Institute Gongga, it seems that he also sees a longer term and more comprehensive than these goblin peers, and he looks unwilling to get involved in the power struggle.
And those 'stupid' goblins don't seem to understand this yet, and are still cautiously asking the old goblins if they can provide some support in the goblins' 'righteous deeds' to fight for individual rights.
"Support, what kind of support?" asked the old goblin, squinting his eyes.
"Of course, it's the biggest chip in our hands......" The goblin in the military uniform rubbed his hands nervously, "I want to ...... If...... Possible...... The old dean is willing to use the puppet dragon to exert a little pressure, and those human wizards will definitely compromise!"
When the words 'puppet dragon' popped out of the mouths of the goblins in military uniforms, the eyebrows of several goblin leaders present jumped, and their eyes became cold and sharp.
This is the rhythm of wanting the goblins to be exterminated......
Silently, several goblin bosses glanced at each other, and they all began to think about their future retreat and development.
Betraying the Crimson Family?
Such a thought is a point of no return!
After so many years in the wizarding world and broadening their horizons, it also made the high-level goblins with brains and knowledge more aware of the huge power gap between the goblin plane and the wizarding world.
When the goblin plane falls into the sight of wizards, it is doomed to the fate of the goblin plane.
To be honest, it was already their greatest luck that the goblin plane could fall into the hands of the Crimson family, who ruled more gently and enlightenedly!
If you are a little unlucky, if you change to another wizard family, it will definitely be an invasion of the whole domain, as well as a bone-sucking type of exploitation and squeezing. As for recognizing the status of goblins as family members and giving them the opportunity to integrate into the wizarding system, this is almost never the case in other wizarding families.
Subjects and slaves...... How big the status gap between the two is, Jingke knows it in the venue.
Therefore, when he saw the Crimson family in distress, he chose to betray and then take refuge in another powerful wizard family. This may sound great, but if it were to be implemented, it would drag the entire goblin clan into the abyss of death.
The other party now urgently needed to abolish the influence caused by the existence of the Crimson Family's fourth-order magic weapon puppet dragon, so he had promised many benefits and benefits. But once the goblins really change their courts, what do they rely on to compete with the human wizards in the other family?
Will the other party really give goblin wizards the same status and treatment as human wizards?
After taking away the magic weapon puppet dragon, will the other party still allow such a powerful magic weapon to remain in the hands of the goblin?
Can the goblins gain far more freedom and power than they do now?
After the edification and impact of a large number of knowledge systems in the new world, the goblins who stepped out of the plane are no longer the frogs at the bottom of the well in the past, and have deeply realized the bloody and cruel competition in the plane world. How can they be like those fools, deceived by the 'interests' and 'beautiful scenery' that the other party depicts in vain?
The goblin conclave soon ended in a fruitless argument.
When those stupid guys went out to eat, drink and have fun surrounded by a group of beautiful women, the big guys who could really decide the future of the goblin clan got together again.
"I can see it clearly, it's the Musen Merchant Group who are causing trouble......
"Agreed, but in my opinion, there are some goblins on the VC side that need to be cleaned up......"
"Well, let's repay Gargamel-sama according to this! I will try to win the power in my hands as much as possible, so that the damage to my clan can be minimized!"
"Thank you, Kirby-sama......"
