Chapter 3 Slave Hunting
For Kungani's kind of hob meat that is useless to call, even if it is humiliated, it only makes it feel sad, Blue is really bored.
Think about it, there's a bastard who often jumps out when you want to take a break and says, "This world needs more heroes"; Do you feel disgusting to jump out and say, "There are still many people in this world who are suffering" when you have just had a happy meal, and add fuel and vinegar to your dreams while you are sleeping?
However, EldrΓ« Nero is not one of those stunned young people, and she knows no less about artifacts than Blue.
If Kungani had really given it to her, and the two Madonnas had been united, the consequences might have been unpredictable even to God.
It's possible that one person, one artifact, just left so satisfied......
But Blue always has a sense of foreboding, once those two guys meet, it will be a world explosion, thunder and fire, maybe they will unite and drag Blue into the water!
After all, in the final analysis, the divine beast species of the Astral Whale doesn't even give the face of the gods, but owes Blue a little favor.
In their opinion, they knew such a person as Blue in this world, and Blue was naturally equated with the master of the Shules Continent.
Although they are not rigorous, their personalities are like this, and it is impossible to say that they have to understand the complex biological relationships of that world when they go to any world.
After thinking about it, the blue dragon still felt that such a thing was too risky, and he still dispelled this terrible thought in his mind.
ββββββββββββββββ
At the gates of New Shars City, more than a dozen teams of half-ogres with blue dragon banners were leaving the city, and they were all about thirty in number, half of them were pushing large cages pulled by camels, and there were about five to seven cages in a team.
These large cages are made of wood, and there is no additional decoration except for a piece of fur on the top that protects them from the sun.
After leaving the city of New Sars, the half-ogre team began to disperse.
They were well equipped, covered in steel and leather armor, and mostly held non-lethal wooden clubs in their hands, which were designed to catch their prey alive.
If you doubt their lethality, then the machete on their back will tell you very clearly that the stick is only benevolent, and the machete is the body.
These are all slave hunting teams under the name of the blue dragon, and by the way, sometimes they also make cameo appearances as hunting teams and material captains.
As the name suggests, the leader of each slave trapping team is assigned an area, and as the name suggests, their mission is to capture the wild humanoids assigned to their area, such as desert goblins, goblins, bear goblins, ogres cavemen, kobolds, etc., as slaves in New Sars.
Otherwise, how could Blue's lair be built like this in just a few years, with the terrifying fecundity of these inferior creatures.
And for these inferior races in the wild, it is not a bad thing to join the city of New Schars and contribute to the construction of the great city.
At least their master still gave them something to eat, and they didn't go hungry to work.
Although the conditions and often conditions of work are very bad, far from the happiness of 996, but for these creatures who could die at any time, this is already reaching the wealthy class.
In an open field about ten kilometers away from the city of New Sols, a group of desert goblins, numbering about sixty, were building a rudimentary camp with some stones they had collected.
These desert goblins were driven out of the underworld by their kind, so out of the more than sixty desert goblins, children and female desert goblins accounted for a small half.
Desert goblins can live anywhere, and underground caverns and some rocky caverns are their favorite spots.
This is because in the scorching desert, living in underground caves or rock caves can block the sun's hot rays, and no matter how adaptable the desert goblins are, they dare not be exposed to the hot sun all day long.
However, although there are thousands of such caves in the desert, most of the rock caves are occupied by ogres, gnolls, or stronger goblins, and it is not the turn of weak desert goblins.
And compared to the terrifying fecundity of the desert goblins, these settlements are a drop in the bucket.
As the most common weak monster in the world, the only advantage of the desert goblins is that they are capable of being born, as long as they are left alone, in just a few months, their number will increase tenfold.
Therefore, it is not unusual for the desert goblins who are weak to be driven out can be seen everywhere in the Yaresg Desert.
The group of goblins who were driven out was also quite unlucky, and they were unable to find caves, ruins, or oases to live in, so they had no choice but to build their own camp in the open air.
Generally speaking, this represents the end of this group of desert goblins.
The camp built in the open air has a defense capability equivalent to 0, and there is no defense or scenery to cover it, which is as conspicuous as a firefly in the night for hunters.
For these desert goblins, they are either killed and devoured by hunters such as ogres, or they are buried in the sand by a natural disaster during the night.
Luckily for this group of desert goblins, they were seen by the slave catchers of New Sars.
In the face of these desert goblins, although the number of people on their side is small, the equipment and combat power between the two are not comparable at all.
The team of slave hunters began to split in two from a distance, and each half-ogre soldier was about eight to twelve meters apart, which was quite close for a half-ogre who was almost three meters tall, and the long wooden sticks in their hands made the range of control even larger.
Soon they formed an encirclement of the desert goblin herd, and it was only then that the desert goblins reacted.
For the one-meter-tall desert goblins, any half-ogre looked as terrifying as a giant, and just by seeing the other person's size, all the desert goblins lost the desire to fight, and they all set their eyes on their leader, a goblin who was about twenty percent taller than the others.
However, this leader did not seem to have the slightest discipline as a leader, and in full view of everyone, he turned around and ran away.
Seeing that the boss has run away, what else is there to say?
Of course, the rest of the desert goblins scattered in a hurry, and they fled victoriously.
In order to run faster, the goblins threw away their sticks and stone axes, and even the female goblins kicked their children to the ground, hoping to delay a little time through them.
For the desert goblins who escaped, the young children of the clan were nothing more than a decoy, and they certainly would not rescue such a burden.
Seeing desert goblins fleeing in all directions, this kind of scene is almost as common as a common occurrence for these slave catchers.
There was a wave of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and some of them were also cursing these goblins in their mouths, running so fast in such a hot weather, I don't know if it is tiring to chase?
Since you are isolated and helpless, and you can't fight, it's better to stand still and surrender.
The half-ogres raised their long sticks or sticks to increase their range, and the desert goblins running around had little to resist, so they could only try their luck and pray that their companions would be knocked down and they would escape.
However, such an idea is too naΓ―ve, and all of the slave hunters are proficient, and they knock several desert goblins to the ground with a single stick.
Like a broom, the long stick swept all the desert goblins that passed by from the ground and fell in mid-air like vicious dogs.
They let out a miserable cry, and all of them fell to the ground, holding their feet and weeping bitterly.
Such an injury made them suffer from unbearable pain and lost their mobility, and it was not a traumatic injury, which would not affect their next work.
Their blue dragon master said that if they don't complete the slave quota caught every month, then they will do the slave work themselves, although the half-ogre is not a race that cannot endure hardship, but after getting used to decent guard work, it will be ugly to run to mine and move bricks to build a house.
Now the half-ogres, after satisfying the needs of food and clothing, began to pursue a higher level of needs.
The goblin leader's face was yellowish and his green skin began to turn white, and he stopped his steps as he watched his companions be defeated by the half-ogres in three or two clicks.
Although he was a little larger than a normal desert goblin, what difference did it make to a half-ogre?
However, to be the leader, this guy's intelligence is worthy of the name, reaching a level much higher than that of ordinary goblins.
He found that his companions who had fallen to the ground did not have their intestines rotten and their internal organs and blood flying together, but they were just rolling around with their wounds and howling.
This shows that these guys want to capture their own group alive!
When he came to this conclusion, the Desert Goblin Leader immediately put down the mace he had always been proud of, and the round shield made of wood, and shouted in a loud voice from the goblins: "I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me!" β
In order to prevent the half-ogres from knowing what they were talking about, the Desert Goblin Leader repeated it in the lingua franca.
Seeing that their leaders were like this, the remaining desert goblins also dropped their weapons and fell to the ground shivering.
The half-ogre soldiers snorted, and they walked over to the goblins who were still rolling around and screaming in pain, holding three in one hand, and threw them into the large cage.
Because the comfort of the desert goblins was not taken into account at all, only the degree to which these miscellaneous goblins would not die, so when the desert goblins were put into a large cage, there was no room to move a little finger, and the congestion level was comparable to the No. 3 subway during the rush hour.
This practice is also to capture slaves to the greatest extent, a large cage can accommodate ten desert goblins if it is more comfortable, but now it is stuffed into a full thirty, which one do you choose?
Of course, the desert goblins have no opinion on this kind of encounter, compared to those ogres who kill them with food at will, or powerful beasts and demonic beasts such as the desert blood lion that simply teases and slaughters them, the half-ogres are simply angels now.
After filling the two large cages, the slave catchers continued to search their area.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the monster refresh in the game, but in this wild place, there is never less low-level humanoid monsters, no matter how you kill or catch them, they will grow like leeks in a few days.
Blue in the sky watched with great interest as his grassroots soldiers carried out their tasks, and sometimes deliberately provided them with direction coordinates.
In his memory, in addition to several areas on the surface, the construction of the underground part of the city of New Schals is also in full swing.
Of course, the underground area is all inhabited by slave races such as gray dwarves, desert goblins, and cavemen, but those slaves are very satisfied with the living environment, and even when they dig, most of these guys of evil races are still smiling, which is really a bit scary.
And although the gray dwarves are habitually pessimistic, but the craftsmanship and brains are still there, and the planned underground kingdom has many dwarf characteristics, which are both grand and beautiful and first-class in safety, which can be called excellent underground workers.
According to Macaria's rough statistics, the slaves under the ground have grown to a million people......
That's almost twice as many as the total number of residents and migrants in New Schars on the surface, and the gap is growing.
If it weren't for the fact that Blue had bought a large pile of coarse grain to feed the animals through trade, he would not have been able to fill the mouths of those slaves.
But even so, he began to seriously consider raising the desert goblins like pigs, and then killing them and feeding them to himself and slaves such as ogres and cavemenβand afterwards he felt that it was too immoral to do so, and dismissed the idea of being extremely evil.
Blue's help made the slave hunting team very rewarding, and the slaves captured nearly two hundred, but most of them were desert goblins and cavemen, and there were no big guys like ogres.
In addition, he also encountered a large number of small digging sandworms, these digging small sandworms are only more than one meter long, wrapped in a layer of yellow armor-like skin, without any external limbs and facial features, only a big mouth, and their favorite food is sand.
Although it looks very hideous and terrifying, in the desert, the small sandworm is the favorite food of many races.
After peeling off the skin, there is only one digestive tract and a lot of tender meat.
After discovering this group of small sandworms, the slave catchers were very excited, and ran up with wooden sticks to beat them.
Although the digging sandworms were first-class in their ability to drill into the ground, and most of them managed to escape, they still let the slave catchers kill thousands of them, and they filled the remaining few large cages.
Returning, cool and crooked!
