Just before it got dark on this day, Diego suddenly realized that there was no way out. ∈↗，

There was complete silence. Through the thick mist, he saw a tall gray mountain wall not far in front of him. It is a lonely~ hill that has no connection to the huge mountains that continue to flow to the south. The rocks above it looked as if they had been burned by smoke and fire, and from time to time choking smoke came out of the cracks in the rocks, making it look like a volcano ready to erupt. The rocky mountain is not very high, but it stands out in the relatively flat dust swamp. Beneath the rock face was a gray shadow, and they were in the shadows.

Diego cautiously walked along the mountain wall to the east, when he suddenly stopped. Dozens of meters in front of them, the sight that appeared before them was terrifying—a huge cavern was wide open in the shadow of the rock wall, and on the rock wall above the entrance and on the ground below, jagged blood-red rock pillars were as hideous as fangs, like the maw of an evil dragon waiting to be devoured.

Near the cavern, several heavily armed dragonmen were pacing back and forth, and if Diego had gone in a hurry, he might have collided with them by now.

"Stand back!" Diego gestured backwards, then tiptoed back.

They walked back for a long time, eventually coming to a halt in a small valley behind them, rounding the hills. The place is flat, and if you don't come in and check it out, it's hard to find that there are people hiding inside.

At this time, it was finally completely dark. Completely shrouded in the wings of night.

Diego put on the arcane energy goggles, then pulled a short wrist-sized stick from his bag. On the section at one end of the short rod are inlaid several crystals arranged in a ring. He stuck his rod in the ground, the crystalline end facing the sky. Then press a few times on a bump in the middle of the stick.

Several people gathered around the short stick, waiting silently, but after a few minutes, no light or movement emanated from the stick.

"What are we doing here?" After a moment, the orc suddenly spoke, "We must be looking silly now. ”

"Shut up, orcs, be patient." Diego scolded unceremoniously. Although it looks like nothing is happening. But that's not the case, through the arcane energy goggles. Diego saw a thumb-thin pillar of orange-red light shooting out from the tip of the rod, piercing through the fog and stabbing straight into the air.

More than ten minutes passed, and just as the orc couldn't help but speak again, he suddenly heard a sound that he had never heard before, he thought it was a dragon at first, but this buzzing sound like a swarm of bees was completely different from the sound of a dragon flapping its wings.

He straightened up and clenched the spear in his hand firmly. Behind him, both the Minotaur and the Night Elves were ready for battle.

"Don't be nervous. It's our reinforcements. Diego whispered, looking up and peering into the dim sky through the arcane goggles, but saw nothing.

A brief flash of light caught his attention. The source of the flash is in the air. Diego realized that the light was the same as the light from the short rod in front of him. He pressed the bulge of the short rod and clicked rhythmically a few times.

There was another continuous flash in the air, three long and two short. It's exactly the rhythm that was agreed. Diego hurriedly pressed the short stick in response. A few seconds later, the air lit up three times in succession.

"Get out of the way. It's time to land. Diego whispered to his companions. They quickly moved around a distance of more than ten meters.

Diego saw a beam of orange light that his companions still couldn't see, shining down on the short stick stuck in the ground.

Followed by. The fog that hung over them suddenly rolled up, as if a huge whale was about to leap out of the water, except that the big creature had landed downward. At this distance, even others who weren't wearing goggles could see what was happening - a streamlined boat cut through the fog and appeared in front of them. At the stern of the dinghy, where the rudder should have been, there was a set of propellers that rotated like a knife wheel on a steaming machine: it was clearly a thruster. From the side, they also saw a huge shuttle-like airbag above the dinghy, at least three times larger than the boat underneath it.

A ship flying in the sky! Diego could tell at a glance what it was - yes, it was a goblin airship!

Unlike most goblin airships thirty or forty meters long, this airship is much smaller, with a hull hanging under an airbag of only about ten meters at most, a veritable airship, but the best choice for this kind of covert infiltration.

It wasn't the first time Diego had seen such a flying machine, but he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this big guy falling from the sky. This is already the closest aviation tool to earth technology, and it is difficult to suppress the intimacy in his heart. Behind him, the three teammates were already dumbfounded, although they had more or less seen a goblin airship flying through the sky, but it was the first time they had seen such a big guy so closely.

"When I learn how to transform into a crow, I can fly higher and faster than it!" Masrae muttered dizzily.

Diego watched with some apprehension as the ship fell lower and lower, and the air currents from the tail propeller had even blown up dust on the ground and a gust of wind.

Like other unreliable goblin products, goblin airships have a high failure rate, and wrecks during voyages are almost commonplace. However, the goblin charter business is still booming, as it is almost the only flying vehicle that can transport troops in formation, and other vehicles such as griffons and bipedal wyverns are generally not allowed to carry heavily armored soldiers.

However, it seemed that today was a lucky day for the ship, and the airship shook a few times, but still landed on the ground steadily, and several rope ladders were thrown from the side of the ship, and a team of humans climbed down from above and came to the surface.

At that moment, a large green head poked out from the side of the ship.

"A successful landing, especially on the doorstep of a black dragon, I dare say I'm definitely the first goblin to do so!" A slick voice said triumphantly and loudly.

"Shut up, goblins!" Diego was frightened into a cold sweat and lowered his voice and shouted, "If you don't want to become the Black Dragon's dinner." ”

"Hey, man, don't be so nervous, to be honest, I don't mind being swallowed by a black dragon, you know, a lump of dragon dung is worth more than a living goblin." The goblin said nonchalantly.

"But I don't mind!" Diego couldn't help but want to scold.

Just then, all the passengers on the airship finally disembarked, and a tall human walked towards Diego. With the help of arcane energy goggles, Diego saw the iconic scar on his face.

"Well done, my Viscount!" The people who came praised it.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!" Diego hurriedly bent down and saluted. Behind him, orcs and minotaurs also came up to salute the king, and although they were in a hostile camp, this did not prevent them from paying the highest respect to the ruler.

Behind them, with the sound of air currents, the goblins finally ended their dangerous journey and couldn't wait to lift off again, even the rope ladder on the side of the board was still dangling, and they didn't have time to put it away. It seems that they are not as fearless as they just said.

"Your Majesty, we'll wait for your signal in the air, but you bought a two-way ticket!" Before liftoff, the goblin captain shouted. (To be continued.) )
