Chapter 30: First Battle, Goblin?

The adventurers who saw this scene for the first time were speechless for a long time as they looked at the turret above their heads.

"Hey, every time I see this scene, I still feel exaggerated." Uncle Fan Li's exclamation sounded in his ears.

Ling Jian himself couldn't help but secretly say "" in his heart.

Aside from being at the forward base of the Night's Watch, it was the first time he had seen someone use heavy machine guns so intensively.

As mentioned before, there have always been thermal weapons in this world, and the level of development is quite high. This is the information that Ling Key has indeed mastered and investigated.

It's just that among today's witchers, there are very few people who choose firearms as their primary weapon. That's why there is a saying that "guns are not as good as swords", because it is difficult for a single soldier to pose an effective threat to elite demons above the centurion with a firearm. Even the average demon soldier has a natural skin scale defense that can withstand most ordinary rifle bullets. Unless the marksmanship is good enough to hit the vital point directly or hit the same spot with two or more shots in a row, the combat efficiency of the gun will be unacceptably low - Ling Key always feels that those Abyssal Demons have a specialized defense against hot weapon attacks.

Of course, if the technology is not up to par, then you can make up for it with firepower. In fact, Ling Jian also found that from his point of view, the fundamental problem of this world's inability to use hot weapons against the Abyss Demon Clan was that there was not enough firepower, as long as the firepower was sufficient, even if he used a pile of bullets, he could kill the commander!

But the problem was that during the Dark Ages of the first two hundred years, each city had to re-establish its own production system. This caused major trauma to heavy industries such as weapons manufacturing, which directly led to the abolition of the tactics of drowning the invaders with firepower, and the human beings had to rely on cold weapons and the flow of witchcraft and spirituality extended by the occult to fight demons.

Moreover, the blade of the sword is indeed more effective against the demon's scale skin.

Finally, there is another reason that restricts the development of thermal weapons, and that is that individuals who are witchers are often unable to carry enough heavy firepower. Fighting large demonic monsters, demon hunters also tend to choose heavy weapons such as large swords, axes, and heavy swords, which are not lighter than heavy machine guns. But the machine gun needs ammunition......

Unless you have spatial equipment, it's impossible for anyone to go out into battle with enough bullets.

So for a long time, people have subconsciously forgotten about these weapons. They are remembered only in large-scale wars and positional defense.

But then again, it's possible to equip a large enough walking vehicle with a heavy machine gun. With the financial resources of the Traveler's House, this tactic of exchanging supplies for victory is indeed very much in line with their style.

After leaving the safe and peaceful public road, the traveler "caravan" bared its hideous fangs.

It didn't take long for the expected enemy to appear as promised. It was a group of relatively "short" monsters, although the average height was only at the level of ordinary human adult men, but compared to other demon races that were often two or three meters tall, it was simply insulting to the name of "Demon Race".

But these guys, nicknamed "Goblins" by Ling Key, are indeed one of the many races of Abyssal Demons - although the other demons in the Abyss Demon Realm don't admit it.

True to the nickname given to them by Ling Key, these gray-green skinned monsters resemble the classic cannon fodder species known as the Goblin in that way. They are the lowest-level cannon fodder creeps in the Demon Realm, and any ordinary demon of any other race has the strength of this race's "centurion".

In fact, in the perception of the demon world, the "goblins" are an existence between "demonic beasts" and "demons", and are regarded as "unintelligent" inferior species and unfully evolved species.

Their only advantage is probably their incredible ability to reproduce, their sheer numbers, and their ability to adapt to numbers. It is said that the "Goblins" can adapt to any environment in which they can survive, and because of this, they have become the first and only demon race to fully adapt to the human world.

In the wild, these are the monsters that people are most likely to encounter. Therefore, it also has nicknames such as "Demon Cockroach".

Seeing a large group of more than forty "goblins" rushing towards the convoy, everyone laughed. There was a contemptuous and dismissive laugh, and there was a bitter smile of helplessness - for their elite team, this level of monster was too child's play.

The level gap is so big that you can't even get experience points.

The "Goblin" is really not very strong in combat, and any normal adult can kill one with a stick - as long as he does not lose the ability to think and fight back out of fear.

Sadly, however, ordinary people are often instinctively frightened and then frightened when they see a demon. Few dared to fight back except to escape.

The "goblins" are also known for their fear of the weak, and they are also very good at escaping, and they are much faster than humans......

It seems that it relied on the superiority of numbers, and treated this convoy as an ordinary caravan, right? The "goblins" screamed excitedly and chased after them.

They were really fast running, and they were within 100 meters of the formation in just a few breaths.

A few adventurer men beside Ling Jian clenched the weapons in their hands, ready to attack at any time.

At this moment, a loud sound like a tearing cloth suddenly sounded in my ears, and a blazing wave of air swept overhead. The people in the carriage below subconsciously raised their hands to block in front of them and looked up.

The heavy machine gun on the rotating turret opened fire.

The ten cars in front did not make the slightest movement, and on the command car at the head, Old did not even mean to look back.

Only the five machine guns at the back of the queue spat out tongues of fire.

The dust flew and was quickly blown away by the wind on the plains. The original "Goblin" raider vanished without a trace, leaving only the ground covered in broken corpses and dark brown bloodstains.

The one-man locomotives roaming around the convoy quickly made their way to what could be considered a battlefield, and the five members of the escort team skilfully and efficiently cleaned up the battlefield - stripping materials, seizing loot, and confirming the results...... Finally, there is the destruction of corpses.

Although there are no particularly useful materials or loot for the "goblins", cleaning up the bloodstained corpses and getting rid of the demonic energy is an indispensable step - in order to prevent more monsters from being attracted to it.

There are also people in the escort team who have gone to the "temple" to learn to purify demonic energy, just to completely "erase" these demonic species from this world.

After confirming that all targets had been eliminated, the machine gun shooters raised their muzzles and re-rounded the heights, as if waiting for a new Death Thrower to appear.

"! Too brutal, right? The fat adventurer muttered, "What a waste, so many little devils are worth a two-star mission." ”

His thin brother said, "It's worthy of a traveler's home, people don't look down on a two-star mission at all." Looks like this trip is going to be boring. As he spoke, he put his hands behind his head and leaned down on the back of his seat, closing his eyes and preparing for sleep.

Not only him, but after seeing the powerful firepower of the heavy machine gun, everyone suddenly felt relieved, and they were no longer as nervous and preoccupied as before.

The battle just now happened so fast that it is difficult to say whether it can even be called a "battle", it was a complete one-sided slaughter.

Indeed, as they had thought, the combat power of this caravan of travelers had seriously overflowed, and from the perspective of the "caravan", it was simply foolproof, and those of them who hitchhiked could have spent the whole journey lying down all the way.

Of course, the Traveler's Caravan was not simply a "caravan", and under the leadership of Old Dake, the caravan traveled farther and farther, plunging headlong into the deserted wilderness.
