In the palace of the Holy Empire, there was an awkward silence.

Since the Holy Empire brazenly sent troops into the Riga Empire to rescue ten years ago, and confronted Tang Feng, who was in charge of the army for the first time, the two sides have fought countless times.

With the exception of the defeat in the first contact, the scale of the subsequent engagements on both sides was much smaller.

The Holy Empire mostly supported the Riga Empire behind the scenes, or other national forces, and attacked Tang Feng's army, and there were not many times when he personally sent troops.

But judging from the final results, the Holy Empire's side still lost more than won too little, and almost did not bargain at all.

Although there is a reason why Tang Feng's army mainly defends and relies on geographical advantages and various fortifications, it occupies a great advantage. But their strength, their difficulty, had already impressed the kings and ministers of the Holy Empire.

But today, they suddenly realized that this opponent actually hid a large part of his strength.

They knew very well how strong the Riga Empire's defenses were, because most of them were built and arranged by the Holy Empire with countless human and financial resources.

Even if the Holy Empire itself is changed, even if he does his best, even if he is familiar with the defense layout of the Riga Empire, if he uses the same army size as Tang Fengjun, it is absolutely impossible to take the Imperial City of the Riga Empire in one day.

Even now, with a clear military report in front of them, the monarchs and ministers in the hall still felt a little difficult to accept this result.

"Is the message accurate? I know that Tang Fengjun should not be underestimated, but to say that the imperial city of Riga Empire was captured in one day, this is a bit too outrageous, right? ”

The Holy Emperor asked with a frown.

The Imperial Marshal stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, because the information is too beyond imagination, I have sent my capable men to verify it again. The results returned showed that the information sent back earlier was true and there was no false exaggeration. ”

The emperor was still incomprehensible.

"How is this possible, is there a spy within the Riga Empire?"

It is indeed much easier for the spies to rebel and rebel and cooperate with the outside army to take a strong fortress.

"There are indeed spies in the Riga Empire that Tang Feng's army is lurking and developing, but they play a limited role in this war. They were able to take the Imperial City of Riga in one day, mainly relying on their own strength. ”

"Frontal assault? How the hell did they do it? The Emperor asked.

The official in charge of intelligence replied: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence we have gathered, Tang Feng's army was able to achieve such dazzling results, in addition to their own strength, well-trained, and tacit cooperation, the most important thing is that they have a large number of powerful new weapons and equipment in their hands. ”

"Armament? Is it magic equipment? ”

The official shook his head and replied, "No, it's a new piece of equipment that I've never seen before." We speculate that the equipment is from the goblins. ”

His Majesty the Emperor and the other ministers were all taken aback, and asked in unison:

"Goblins? Didn't they go extinct more than 2,000 years ago? ”

The intelligence officer felt a lot of pressure, but he replied, "According to the history books, the goblins should have been exterminated long ago." But the new weapons used by Tang Feng's army, whether in appearance, craftsmanship, or power effect, are the same as the weapons made by goblins recorded in the history books. There is reason to suspect that they have found a goblin who has survived hiding somewhere, or if it is a legacy of the goblin's craft. ”

Everyone in the hall gasped.

The goblins are ugly in appearance, short in stature, and have no talent for magic or vindictiveness.

However, the physical defects are compensated for in the mind.

The goblins are ingenious and good at creating and making. The weapons and equipment they designed can transform a weak person who is powerless and look down on and crush a powerful professional.

It can be said that if they were provided with all the resources for the design and manufacture of weapons and equipment. Then it won't take long to create an extremely terrifying army, and it is not impossible to sweep through the countries of the continent, including the Holy Empire.

Others need to strictly select strong soldiers to form elite troops, and they must go through a long period of training before they can form combat effectiveness.

Such an elite force, from the source has already determined its size, it is definitely a big deal. Moreover, in the event of combat losses, replenishment and retraining are not an easy task.

But on the goblin side, there is no such problem at all.

As long as the manufacture of weapons and equipment can keep up, whether it is 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 people, simply learn and master the use of weapons, they will be able to drive on the battlefield and form combat effectiveness, and they will not be worse than the elite troops of other countries at all.

Such a buggy existence, how could the ambitious Holy Empire and the Holy See of Light tolerate it. Therefore, despite the small number of goblins, the Holy Empire, which could not threaten the behemoths, eventually suffered doom and was exterminated by the Holy See of Light on the charge of blasphemers.

In order to prevent future troubles, the Holy Empire, which was already flourishing on the continent at that time, simply collected all the books and materials of the goblin clan and burned them to the ground.

One of the ministers said, "Maybe they were just lucky enough to get a treasure left by the goblins." ”

"Uh...... Of course, this possibility is not ruled out. ”

The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment, but had to nod in agreement.

Until there is further conclusive information, any speculation is likely to become true.

Although in the minds of the intelligence officer, he was still inclined to Tang Fengjun to obtain the complete inheritance of the goblin clan, and even had a goblin clan working for them.

That's not the point he wants to make, though......

"Your Majesty, and my lords, don't you put aside all kinds of speculation about the goblin clan for now. For there is an even more important situation that I would like to report to Your Majesty and your Excellency. ”

"What's the situation?" The Emperor asked, looking at his tone and expression, it was clear that his attention had not been taken away from the goblins.

The other officials looked similar to him.

The emperor was absent-minded, but the intelligence officer had to continue.

"In addition to the equipment and weapons suspected to be made by the goblin clan, our intelligence officers also found out in this war that Tang Fengjun is still using, or rather trying out more powerful equipment!"

"What did you say!?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was pulled back again.

Eyes converged, and once again fell on the intelligence officer.

The experienced intelligence officer behaved more calmly, but what he said next made everyone uneasy.

"Those weapons and equipment are several times more powerful than the equipment of the suspected goblin clan. However, it seems that it is still in the experimental stage, and the state is unstable, and sometimes not only can it not be used normally, but there is also a danger of explosion. ”

He paused slightly, allowing the listeners to digest.

"These powerful but unstable equipment also have traces of goblin technology on them. But more than that, we've never seen or heard of before. According to the analysis of our top intelligence officers, it is suspected that this is the work of Anthony. ”

As soon as the name "Anthony" came out, the hall fell into a deathly silence again.
