Chapter 12 Slave Raiding
"Prisoner!" I whispered. The team turned to look at me.
I changed to sign language: "You can make more profits." ”
The team leader understood, adding in sign language: "Goblins can be slaves." ”
The expressions of the team members were cloudy, both disappointed by the loss of the opportunity to kill, and attracted by the benefits.
"Take the prisoners first, and then you choose what to do with the spoils." I added.
So the team members laughed silently with satisfaction. The team leader signed: "Do what you want." ”
I rushed into the tunnel fork and ran headfirst into a group of goblins.
The short, ugly, poorly equipped creatures were amazed by my presence, their faces twisted and their teeth bared. A goblin screamed and threw a spear at me. I turned around and dodged and kicked it down. "Whoever stirs up the mess again will kill it!" I threatened with goblin language. At the same time, he aimed his crossbow back and forth at the goblin swarm. More than thirty goblins stood there motionless.
"Who's in the lead?" I asked, in the language of the goblin.
The goblin leader was still struggling to come forward, but a dozen goblins immediately showed the typical courage and loyalty of the goblin race, twisting their heels and pointing their stubby fingers in its direction.
The goblin leader plucked up his courage to step forward.
"This is the place of Demon Blade City!" I shouted, "How dare you come here to provoke!" ”
"Lost, us." The goblin leader argued, "Leave." ”
"Drop your weapon before you leave!" I said coldly, "As punishment for your offense against the Dark Elves!" ”
It insisted: "Take the weapon and leave." ”
I pointed my crossbow at it, "Do goblins want to rebel against our dark elves?" ”
The goblin leader stiffened and turned to look at his men, the numerical superiority regaining its courage and threatening, "We, many. Dark Elves, one. ”
Noticing the silent movement in the shadows, I said, "Well, you're right, let me think about ......"
Seeing that my tone had loosened a little, the goblin leader was very excited, clenched his short sword, and screamed, "Hurry up! ”
"Hmm......" I pretended, but my eyes were watching the movement around me, almost, "I figured it out," I smiled brightly at the ugly little thing in front of me, "just right, we need a lot of slaves, and now none of you want to leave." ”
The goblins suddenly stirred, and the goblin leader angrily raised his short sword and shouted, "Don't! Don't be a slave! Slay! ”
Two magic missiles exploded in quick succession on the goblin leader's body, causing it to crash into the walls of the cave and become a shattered corpse when it fell to the ground.
By the time I had caught the goblins' attention and stalled for time, the patrols had already sneaked around them. The Magic Missile was cast by an impatient mage team.
The goblins who lost their heads panicked, and several goblins unintentionally raised their weapons in a panic, and were immediately shot down by poison arrows. Although the main effect of the spider venom smeared on it is to stun the middle, and the continuous toxic damage is not strong, it is already fatal to small things like goblins.
Damn, it's all money! I hurriedly shouted, "Lay down your weapons, you've been captured by the Demon Blade City Patrol!" ”
The patrolmen tied the surrendered goblins in a row with ropes and drove them back with punches and kicks.
The crux of this plan was for me to attract thirty or so goblins alone, and the patrol would take the opportunity to surround them. Goblins are a race known for being cowardly and cowardly, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and the more dark elves that appear will scare them away, and if they are less, they may be besieged by them. I had heard in my patrol that most of the races in the Dark Lands feared the Dark Elves, and that my intimidation and negotiation skills were acceptable, so I had the audacity to devise this plan.
Return to the city and sell the captives and their equipment, and get a share of about 100 gold coins.
I separated my index finger and thumb to support my chin and smiled, but I didn't expect that I had been a humble gentleman for more than 20 years in reality, but I was bullying, intimidating, abducting and selling slaves in the game, and I did it very easily. My cousin said that you should do what you want, that's what you mean, right?
In the future, catching goblins has become my incidental job, but the benefits are not as much as the first time. One is that I have never encountered so many goblins again; The second is that the members of the patrol team change frequently, and each time they want to capture the goblins, they have to re-convince the team members to agree; The third is to get the shiny gold coins, and my fellow NPCs are more willing to kill to spice up the boring patrols, even if they agree to capture the goblins, they have to kill a few at a time.
I hit the kobold idea with the most frequent appearances, but a member of the team told me that most of the humanoid lizards that are short, bark like dogs, and have heads like dogs run out of the Claw-Split Grand Canyon within the control of Demon Blade City, where kobolds breed on their own, ensuring that Demon Blade City can have more than 100,000 cannon fodder to drive at any time, but this small and smelly creature multiplies very quickly, resulting in too many worthless numbers.
The harvest of this patrol is still not as good as the first one, but it is still good. The dozen or so goblins captured were tied up in a row and escorted by the members of the back of the team.
Although catching and selling goblins is a no-brainer business, there are not many that can be caught, plus the goblins are the most useless slaves in addition to kobolds, and we are not professional slave traders, so the selling price is very low. Maybe it's time to find another way to make money, and I'm following the striker and I'm thinking of the next big move.
Suddenly, a cold sensation woke me up in deep thought, something was coming, and the direction was......
Screams came from the back of the team!
"Enemy attack!" The patrol at the end of the line shouted warning.
I and the rest of the team that had gone ahead immediately returned to support.
The goblins screamed and jumped in horror, because they were tied together, but they couldn't move because they were pulling each other. Something is attacking them.
However, in the dark vision, I could clearly see the terrified goblins and the Dark Elves on standby, but I couldn't see the attackers. In the middle of the goblins, there are hazy shadows, occasionally flashing red dots of light.
The leader cast a demon fire with a snap of his fingers, and purple flames floated in the air, illuminating the surroundings with a faint light.
Even though it's just an extremely dim light source, it's enough for us dark elves.
Attacking the goblins are three gray-black smoke with some humanoid silhouettes! There are no facial features, and there should be red points of light from the place where the eyes are located. The goblins screamed as they tried to dodge their attacks, and two goblins were already lying on the ground, dead or alive.
