Chapter 105: Go up to the Lonely Mountain again
Outside the town of Changhu, the torches formed a long line, and the townspeople and refugees who were about to migrate were ten miles outside the city, and as soon as they saw the so-called "escort" of the lord, they were almost frightened and ran back to the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Those rickety figures, ugly faces, and sharp minions, even if they have put on a relatively neat coat, cannot change the fact that they were once evil creatures more evil than beasts!
Wild Goblins! Lots of wild goblins! As far as the eye can see, densely packed, there are at least six or seven hundred!
There are so many wild goblins, if they were yesterday, if they were in the city, they would not be enough for the witch guards to kill in one meal.
But now, they can definitely take a huge toll on these migrants who are dragging their families with them.
Fortunately, they don't look neat and orderly, but they really look "different" as if they were reborn.
When these goblins saw the humans, they did not rush up, but scattered around the team, of course, in the eyes of the people concerned, it was more like surrounding the entire team.
They didn't take any more than half a step, and they didn't show their greedy and hideous faces towards the blood food as before, like a group of puppets.
People subconsciously panicked, and some adults came up with rudimentary homemade weapons, more rudimentary than polished pieces of iron. The witch guard, who is really responsible for the safety of the team, is indifferent to this.
Amid the cries of some of the toddlers, the most peculiar-looking one in the crowd of goblins, a red-skinned monster who was tall and not like a goblin variant, came out of the crowd and began to talk to the leader of the witch guard.
Two figures of almost equal height were put together, and they were babbling something like the lingua franca of the evil world, but the polymath would find that it was completely useless.
The other witch guards finally began to maintain order in the group with expressionless faces, mainly using their eyes and movements to stop some of the impulsive behaviors that might cause contradictions in overly panicked adults.
The group of goblins around them did not move at all, which was somewhat similar to when the witch guards were still standing, but the momentum was much worse.
Seeing this, individual townspeople began to think about it, and the nominal supreme leader of the team, Barth, was also silent.
Many became more uneasy, suspecting that the Wizard Lord had sold them to demons.
Some people hold their children in their arms and cover their mouths to prevent them from crying, for fear of attracting the attention of evil creatures.
Others looked at the back of the group, where there were two distinct follower units.
Looking at the "subordinates" "making their own claims", Bart frowned. He realized that the witch guards would not listen to any of his commands at all, and they would only obey the strong, especially the strongest in their own group.
Sata is currently the strongest of the Witch Guards, so he is in charge of any contacts and covert commands. His strength is actually not very outstanding, just a lower lord-level unit, there used to be at least seven or eight more powerful than him in the witch guards, but they have already died one after another.
Of course, the witch guards are not blindly self-assertive, otherwise who would dare to use them.
For example, Ling Qi's orders can be carried out very well, and Farryn, for example, has relied on strength and violence to subdue these guys.
Bart is self-aware, he is not Lingqi, let alone Farion, just an ordinary Guardian of the Land of Mead, although he is not afraid of ordinary witch guards, but most of them are not Sata's opponents.
He believed that the lord would not be ignorant of this, so he was slightly vigilant and tightened his grip on his weapon. In the final analysis, not every guard in the Honey Winery Courtyard trusted Ling Qi 100% and obeyed his words.
After the red-skinned goblin and Sata had finished talking, the evil creatures that had surrounded the migration party spread out a little more towards the periphery, and turned around, moving in the same direction as the team, without making any offensive or provocative gestures, as if these were indeed arranged by the lord.
Sata returns to the group and conveys the goblin's meaning to Barth, who announces it to the crowd.
The people still couldn't believe the evil creatures that were described as hideous and ugly, but they trusted the lord and worshiped his might, and now they couldn't accept it, so the greatly expanded team was on the road again.
Walking with Goblins? It's crazy to think about, goblins have always been synonymous with evil and weakness.
These goblins are truly special, they are self-contained, and they do nothing wrong with the townspeople, only doing their own thing, guarding and opening the way.
Bart still doesn't like the weird things around him, even if they behave very normally, but this is the biggest abnormality in them. As a warrior, Bart has a much greater grudge against goblins than ordinary people. He began to organize a group of guards and militiamen, as well as some young men, and he decided to raise a convoy of his own, a move that was quickly approved by the migrants.
Although the witch guards are strong, their performance is too inhuman, not in appearance, but in behavior, and many people have seen their performance of regeneration and feel that they can no longer be considered human. Except for the relatives of the witch guards, no one believed that these guys were in league with them, they were more like goblins. Even if you are loyal to the same lord, you will have different factions under your command. Racial divisions make these factions more pronounced and don't even need to be considered.
The Witch Guards, especially Sata, who led them, were noncommittal about Barth's approach, which emboldened some of the refugees and townspeople.
In fact, as long as they do not disobey Ling Qi's supreme instructions, then Bart is the supreme leader of the team, and if they want to be independent, he will have to toss, which has long been decided.
Half a day later, there was a small accident in the migration team.
For some reason, a goblin burst into the crowd and bared its teeth at a little girl.
It did no harm to the child, and the witch guards were indifferent, but some of Barth's improvised guards drew their weapons, and just then, a fiery red figure descended from the sky and smashed its head with a single palm.
This scene reminded people that goblins are still goblins, but it also reassured the restless townspeople a little. At least, the goblin in the lead, showing sincerity, does seem to be "his own person".
But why did that goblin go crazy for no reason? Few people think about this reason, and more naturally blame this phenomenon on the nature of evil creatures.
The foliage of the dark forest blocks out the sun, and the gloomy environment makes people fearful. This forest originally had a strange power, if it weren't for the large number of people in the team, if it weren't for the fact that the will of the forest was much quieter than in the past, I was afraid that many people would go crazy before they passed through this dense forest.
The seeds of fear and doubt are planted in everyone's hearts, and on the other hand, some people are beginning to accept the status quo.
In fact, if those evil creatures can live in peace with humans, if they can accept the coexistence of elves and dwarves, why can't they accept orcs?
They're ugly, they're inherently evil, and these all naturally affect the human senses.
But now, people don't have much choice, not just in this team, but in the whole world.
The concept of the incompatibility between good and evil still exists in the hearts of a small number of people, and all the majority of people want is peace and stability.
If one day, the orcs do not eat human flesh, and everyone drinks and talks together, it will be happy.
Even the Buddha probably would not have such delusions, but under the command of Ling Qi, among a group of refugees whose future is uncertain, a similar incredible scene has appeared.
Goblins serve as the outermost guards of the migrants, and armored ogres work alongside mules and horses.
The adults were on guard against the ogres who were still smelly after washing and washing, and some naughty children poked at the two honest big dicks with branches.
The parents of these children have either been killed in the fighting, or they have turned a blind eye to them, so they are much bolder than their peers.
As for the bystanders, they did not interfere, not because they were indifferent, but because even the witch guards did not stop the children's behavior, and the ogres seemed to be indifferent to this "provocation", and it was clear that the two ogres, unlike the goblins, were completely tamed by the lord.
The armored ogres that look quite hideous on the battlefield look extremely silly after removing their armor, of course, they are not even touched by the beauty and cuteness, and they are huge toads.
An ogre suddenly turned its face sideways and grinned at the children.
The three or five wild children immediately dispersed, causing many people around them to laugh.
People are still wary of creatures that are different from themselves, but they are actually slowly getting acquainted with them.
Change is not scary because it happens all the time, imperceptibly.
In this way, a large group of wild goblins, led by a particularly robust red-skinned goblin, resolutely joined the League of Justice. Maybe one day in the future, there will be such a story in the mouth of a certain bard, and this sentence will become the end of this story, attracting more people to listen to the song tomorrow.
What people don't know is that as the party descends into the dark forest, some giant spiders also start patrolling around the team, and they quietly move to kill the beasts that are attracted by their popularity...
Under the moonlight, using the Concealment Skill, Ling Qi once again passed through the position of the orc army and came to the entrance of the dwarven kingdom ruins on the lonely mountain.
Unlike last time, this time, the surface of the entire lonely mountain was covered with military camps, one after another, and the smell of the bloody wind could be smelled from afar.
It seems that the orcs have succeeded in occupying the Lonely Mountain.
Originally, the Lonely Mountain was no longer the Lonely Mountain of a thousand years ago, it was not heavily guarded, and the dwarves were not the masters of this place, they were swept out of the door by a giant dragon. Since the fall of the dragon, this has become a borderless land, where all those who can live can live.
With the momentum of the orcs' counterattack, even if it is Iron Mountain, under the surging soldiers, the dwarf tribe on the mountain is afraid that it will not be able to stop it for a few days, and it is estimated that they will also be defeated by a battle.
In the past, justice always defeated evil, not by the slogan that evil does not prevail over good, but by uniting more powerful forces. Now, evil has swooped down, but the righteous side has not seen much resistance. Lamentations abounded everywhere, and the offensive and defensive battle in Changhu Town was probably the only exciting news recently. Even that victory was due to Ling Qi's extraordinary strength, as well as some accidents that I don't know if they were conspiratorial!
If it weren't for the fact that he could still feel the general trend, Ling Qi would almost have doubted that the mainstream of this plane was not evil at all, but a demon that was superior.
