"Are there any humans in the lead?" At the entrance to the cave, an unfamiliar lingua franca voice was heard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info's voice shouted anxiously, "Can you please put out this fire first?" We're going to die! ”

"Holy! We're dying of heat! ”

"It's just terrible! Are we going to fight these humans! ”

"Don't you see how many of them there are? I don't want to die! ”

Locke heard the entrance to the mine, and the language of goblins and kobolds kept coming.

Kobolds speak strangely, like the sound of muscles rubbing in their throats.

Locke was also puzzled about his ability to understand the language of the world and the indigenous races, thinking that it should be the role of the system.

"Commander, what should I do?" Paul asked again.

He is no stranger to this kind of creature, and he will always encounter them in caves near the mountains, but they will not easily get out of the cave. Therefore, humans will always ignore them, but that doesn't mean they don't hurt, they are extremely hostile to humans who enter their cave territory.

However, they do have a good hand at mining, and some teams of adventurers will always be looking for kobolds' lairs before killing them and removing all the minerals they have collected in the caves. And in this cave of the kobolds, *** gold mines are always the most, and they seem to be born with an unusual affinity for gold mines.

Therefore, where kobolds exist, there must be gold mines.

"Let them out first." Locke pondered for a moment before ordering, "With them here, it proves that there must be a lot of gold in this mine, and if you can enslave them, it will be the best." They are the best miners, much better than those stupid gnolls. ”

Paul nodded in acceptance of the order, ordering the soldiers to extinguish the flames at the entrance of the cave, and all the kobolds who had been crowded at the entrance of the cave sprang out and gathered outside the mine.

All around them were soldiers with tower-shielded defenses, their sharp longarms facing the kobolds.

When the kobolds came out of their burrows, they seemed to be a little uncomfortable with seeing in the sun, and they covered their eyes with their hands and chattered something in koblins and goblin language.

Locke looked at the kobolds in this area, there were about 200 of them, most of them were about 1.5 meters, and a few could grow to about 1.7 meters. Behind them, the yellow package was bulging, as if there was something inside.

Soon the last kobold appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the difficult thing was that this kobold was also wearing a short robe that matched his body shape, with black and brown patterns on it. In the area of his eyes, he wears a pair of inky goggles.

When he came out, he first yelled at the messy dog friends, and the kobolds immediately became quiet, and they seemed to be a little afraid of this comrade.

Then, with small steps, he walked behind his back towards the line of soldiers, and all the kobolds along the way respectfully made way for him.

The kobold quickly walked over to the soldiers' shields, and he faced the needles of the soldiers' long-handled weapons without any expression of fear.

He straightened out his short robes, and then began to speak pretendly.

"Hey, hello, human. Welcome to the territory of the Blue Skins and Gold Fang Lords, can you tell me what you're going to do here? ”

With that, the kobold lord, who claimed to be Blueskin and Goldfang, took a step forward, and he was greeted by the blade of the long-handled weapon that the soldier stabbed forward.

"Hey, hey, hey! I have come with the sincerest greetings of a wise race to your lords! Blueskin Goldtooth pressed his fingers against the blade of the soldier's long-handled weapon, and pushed it back backwards, and the soldier's face turned red, but he could only look at the long-handled weapon in his hand, which was slowly pushed back.

"Stop talking nonsense, kobold. Tell me what you mean, or I'll let my soldiers kill you." Major Paul shouted at him from outside the line.

"Hey! Take it easy! The kobold paced left and right in front of the Iron Front, "I guess you're here to find the humans and gnolls who came here some time ago, right?" ”

"I'm sorry, but if that's the case, then I have to tell you bad news. The guys were all killed, and the killers were the big spiders who rushed out earlier. ”

"They are also our enemies, and since they entered my territory, they have used half of my territory as their lair, and there have been several wars between us."

"So!" The kobold ran his finger through his beard and said, "We are allies!" Ally! You know? It's that we're in this together! ”

"We're with you?!" Major Paul snorted coldly, "I'm sorry, but for us, the cave you occupy now is our territory!" Our lord, we were sent to reclaim this cave. ”

"Now! You only have two paths. Lead your men to surrender, and then await the judgment of our lord. The other way is to be killed here by my soldiers. ”

"I've been able to listen to you talking nonsense here for so long, and I'm already very restrained. Choose now! ”

Major Paul looked at him with disdain.

"Hey, hey, hey!" The kobold lost his composure, and he jumped to his feet and uttered a string of goblin words in his mouth.

Major Paul was puzzled by this, and he took it as a rejection of him, so he raised his hand and shouted.

"Prepare to attack!"

"Hah!"

The soldiers roared, picked up their shields and took a step forward. The encirclement was reduced by a small half.

The kobolds, who were surrounded by the soldiers, began to panic, and they scurried around the circle in a mindless attempt to escape.

"Alright, that's pretty much it." Locke watched the play for a long time, stepped forward from behind, and took over control of the army.

"All on alert!"

"Boom!"

The soldiers lowered their tower shields and made a loud crashing sound, which quieted the otherwise chaotic kobolds a little.

"I'm the lord of this realm, say, Goldfang. What do you want to say, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Locke shouted directly to the panicked Golden Fang in the middle, "If, I'm not satisfied." ”

Locke raised his right hand, "If this hand is put down, then your people and you will die here." This is a struggle for survival between two races, and there is no possibility of compromise unless you completely surrender to me and survive under my protection. ”

"Choose!"

"Hey, hey, human lord. Don't let go! We can also discuss! Golden Fang scrambled to get up from the ground, and he stopped in front of the soldiers' line, "We can attach ourselves to you, we are all excellent miners for you humans!" We can mine! We just need this cave to survive! ”

"I need the gold mine in this cave, you need to change positions." Locke shook his head, "I can't trust you kobolds. ”

"No, no, no! Your Lordship. Golden Fang waved his hands in a panic, his mouth open, nervously defending. The rows of teeth in his mouth were constantly shining with gold.

Isn't it because you have a lot of gold teeth in your mouth that you call it gold teeth? Locke thought to himself.

"We kobolds like mining, not because we like these things, it's all about expanding our living space. Those minerals are of little use to us, except for inlaying them on our teeth and using them as ornaments. ”

"I can give all the gold I dig to you, my lord." Golden Fang suddenly turned around and ran towards Shang Ling, as if he had thought of something, then stopped and turned back and said, "Lord Lord, you can send your soldiers to follow me in." ”

Major Paul tilted his head towards the entrance of the cave, and a non-commissioned officer led his squad of soldiers into the cave with the Golden Fang.

About 10 minutes later, the soldiers walked out, followed by the Golden Fangs, each of them holding some shiny gold ore in their hands.

"Your Lord! There's a lot of gold ore in it! ”

The leading non-commissioned officer said excitedly, and he asked all the soldiers to drop the raw ore that shimmered in their hands on the ground.

"This raw ore is everywhere in the caves inside!" The non-commissioned officer put the ore on the ground and reported excitedly.

At this moment, all the soldiers around showed a look of interest on their faces.

But that's about it.

In peacetime, the gold mines were controlled by the great nobles and kingdoms, something that ordinary people could not think of and did not dare to think of. Even now, everything here is strictly speaking, the actual controller of their land, the legion leader Locke.

Who would find a way to rob their Legion Commander?

"We can collect these minerals for you, and we can find gold that no one else can find." Golden Tooth said flatteringly, but his face really didn't dare to compliment.

"What's going on inside?" Locke asked the non-commissioned officer who had entered.

"Not long after the mine entered, it split into two branches. One leads to the area where they live, and the other side is where those spiders live. This cave has been excavated by these kobolds for some time, and it extends deeper downward. ”

The non-commissioned officer finished his report and returned to his own queue.

"Golden Fang, take us down to see!" Locke still decided to go down and see the situation, deciding the fate of this group of kobolds. After all, they are also considered an unstable factor, and if they have few soldiers, they will not be what they are now.

"Yes, my lord." Golden Fang said respectfully. Turn around and prepare to lead the way.

"My lord, you don't need to go down." Paul stopped Locke, and he said with a serious face, "Maybe it's a conspiracy, we must plan for the best and the worst, you are now Iva's hope!" ”

"Let me take the soldiers down first and find out what is going on. You go down again. ”

Looking at Major Paul's determined expression, Locke had no choice but to nod.
