Chapter 107: Goblins
Unas and his team rushed straight to the camp through the stone wall, and saw a circle of soldiers at the entrance of the barracks in the distance, pulling and pulling as if someone was making trouble, and vaguely heard a sharp voice shouting: "You can't treat us like this, you can't!" Can't ......"
"Smack!" With a loud bang, Unas twitched the whip fiercely, and the attention of the crowd in front of him was immediately attracted, and the famous horse under his crotch took him to the scene in an instant, and after glancing at it, he shouted and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The soldiers looked at each other and fell silent for a while, and a small team leader-like figure stepped forward to the front two and saluted, "Report to the sir, there are captives making noise here, and I am about to arrest them." ”
"Nonsense, nonsense, all nonsense!" Piercing screams erupted behind the crowd, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
Unas sat on a tall horse and looked down, but he didn't see the screaming person, it seemed that the other party was a dwarf, and this kind of eardrum-making sound only made him think of one race.
"Spread out and let them come."
The soldiers were only doing what they were told, and as soon as they moved, several ugly little green-skinned monsters squeezed out of their boots.
Sure enough, it is a goblin, this greedy humanoid little monster in search of wealth is spread all over Azeroth, some are very evil, specializing in bandits, pirates, thieves and other underworld trade, and more goblins remain neutral, making profits through trade, shipping and other more legitimate businesses, but no one has ever heard of righteous goblins.
They have a bad reputation, so they are treated poorly, the goblins in the stronghold are all received from Bethrys, there are about thirty of them, Silver Dawn can't trust these greedy little monsters, so they still retain their captive status, but in fact, no one cares at all, they are completely free.
Silver Dawn's idea was probably to let them escape on purpose, so that they could save some food, but the goblins were also very clever and knew that escaping was only a dead end, so they stayed here, and it was better to starve and do hard labor than to go out and find death.
was not welcomed in the first place, but dared to make trouble at this time, is it because he didn't die fast enough? Unas doesn't think so.
I saw the goblin at the head limping two steps closer, respectfully made a very standard gentlemanly salute to Unas on the horse, and then said in a fluent lingua franca: "Glorious Demon Slayer, it is you who have liberated us from the slavery of the Demon King, and we will never forget your kindness." ”
It's funny to be polite, does this goblin think he's attending some aristocratic party? He was nothing more than a tattered and filthy alien captive.
Unas first took care of the polite hum, and immediately changed his face, "The prisoners are noisy in the barracks, according to military law, I can hang you all immediately!" ”
He trembled uncontrollably with a limp, this level of intimidation that he should not have taken at all, but his body trembled uncontrollably, just like he had faced his previous master, the Dreadlord Bethrys.
The same clan around him also trembled under this coercion, which was very abnormal, but the goblin didn't have time to study this now, so he just saved acting, so he knelt on the ground and cried out for grievances, "My lord, we are also forced to do it!" ”
It turned out that the goblins really couldn't support it anymore, with their small bodies, they couldn't earn a few mouthfuls of food every day, and they had starved to death several times a row.
Today, Unas ordered the urgent recruitment of lumberjacks, and they were like grasping a life-saving straw, desperately recommending themselves to the logistics officer Mao Sui, but they were not accepted at all, and they had no choice but to come to Unas to appeal, and they were turned away, and in desperation, they made trouble.
"We're going to make the simplest and most efficient way for adults, the Vikling No. 3 Lumberjack, known as the Forest Strangler, and any tree will be easily knocked down in front of it!" After talking about the cause and effect, the goblins began to brag desperately about their machinery, which is why they had the confidence to enlist as loggers.
Unas did not doubt what the goblins said, and their scrawny appearance was indeed miserable, and the invention of the goblins, while mostly unreliable, was famous for three things: airships, lumberjacks, and bombs.
Unas is not interested in the first two, airships are not realistic, and the lumberjack cannot be used, if he approves the creation of this "forest strangulation", Oak Leaf will be the first to turn against him, he is interested in bombs, "Will you make anything else?" ”
"Of course!" Not immediately whipped or driven away, the lame goblin was overjoyed and pulled a companion beside him, "This is my chief engineer, he can build anything!" ”
The cowhide was blown into the sky, the nature of a profiteer, Unas sneered, "Yours? ”
"I forgot to introduce to adults, I am Kraz, the general manager of the developed department store in the lower city of Lordaeron, a subsidiary of the Hot Sand Group, and this is my business card." The lame goblin struggled to tiptoe and held up a small, dirty piece of paper.
Unas reluctantly leaned over and took it, glancing at it, the name and address were indeed the same as the goblins, but the entire city of Lordaeron was destroyed by the war and turned into ruins, even if it was true, his long title must be preceded by the word "former".
"Has anyone heard of this department store?" Unas walked around and asked the soldiers to verify that due to the sudden rebellion of the prince, there were not one in ten inhabitants of Lordaeron, and it was difficult to say whether there were any people in the city who had escaped.
It took a long time to see a young soldier raise his hand, and he stopped talking, "I've been to ......."
Unas nodded and encouraged him to continue, "It seems that two years ago, a new goblin department store was opened in Xiacheng District, specializing in selling gadgets they invented, everyone was very curious, my uncle took me there to buy a toy robot, but it broke down in two days, the goblins do not accept returns, and repair actually charges a repair fee, my uncle can't quarrel with them, and smashes the robot on the spot, I have never seen him lose his temper so much, so I remember it very clearly." ”
"Nonsense! Slander! Kratz's shrill voice tormented everyone's eardrums, "Ninety percent of the damage to our company's products is caused by customers not reading the manual, of course you have to take full responsibility!" ”
"You're talking nonsense! Swindler! You treacherous ......" the young soldier scolded excitedly, his eyes reddened, perhaps thinking of his dead uncle?
Unas hurried to stop this meaningless war of words, it is estimated that it is useless to read the manual, and a rogue clause of "the final interpretation belongs to the company" can block the mouths of most people who do not understand the law.
He calmed the angry teenager a few words, and then said to the captain of the guard, "Disperse, I'll deal with these goblins." ”
The team leader glared at the goblins unwillingly, and led his men to patrol elsewhere.
Unas took out a bag of wheat from his bag and threw it off his horse, and said to Kratz: "You and your chief engineer stay, and the others go back, if you dare to make trouble, I will deal with it directly by military law!" ”
"Thank you, thank you, for the reward!" Kraz nodded busily, and then knelt down for Unas, a bag of wheat to save some food, at least to ensure that there would be no more starving goblins during this time.
