Chapter 880: Legion from the South (III.)
"You probably don't know it, I'm a good friend of Ling Gongzi, Mr. Roland met me on a trip to Kitland half a year ago, and we went through a lot of things together, ah, that's a long story. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mikhail said excitedly.
Rudolph smiled: "I remember, Roland mentioned in the letter, you are the Mikhail of Kitland?" I heard that you work for the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce in Baiou Harbor, why is it related to the 'Harvest Ring' again? ”
"Haha, this is also the blessing of Mr. Roland, the highlands are not suitable for growing grain, Kitland City has to import a lot of grain, in the past we imported grain from the New World through Port Baigull, and later found that only this supply channel is not enough insurance, so under Mr. Roland's matchmaking. I escorted the camel caravan to the south, but on the way, I received an urgent letter from the lord, saying that it was not busy transporting grain, and that the caravan lent the Harvest Ring for another urgent purpose, so I left the caravan to recuperate on the farm for a month, and on the way back, I happened to meet your troops, some of which I lent to the Harvest Ring, and I inquired about this mage to find out. The Harvest Ring lent you another batch of livestock, and went back to the city along the way, helping to take care of the livestock, but unexpectedly, he was attacked by a damn goblin halfway through, and lost nine Highlands beasts in just two days...... Oh, I'm a little distressed! ”
Mikhail talked for a long time, and Rudolph finally understood, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You can rest assured that we will compensate for all losses." ”
Mikhail shook his head again and again, and said with a serious face: "General, it is too obvious for you to say this, Mr. Roland saved my life, it is my honor to serve you, I can afford to lose a few Los Beasts, I am afraid that it will delay your march." ”
Rudolph turned his head to look at the broken down cart, covered with a thick tarpaulin, and blessed with magic alarms and arcane locks, in stark contrast to the other ordinary vehicles carrying grain, grass and cannonballs nearby, Mikhail must have seen that the car was carrying extraordinary goods, and it was these special goods that Rudolph was most worried about, if it could not be successfully transported to Kitland, the battle plan to attack the "Dragon Fort Fortress Group" would be difficult to carry out.
Pavel and Alexei were discussing with Mage Merlin, who was in charge of escorting the baggage, to find another Highlander to tow the broken down wagon, but there was no surplus Highlandos left, so they had to pull four horses to pull it together. The Far Eastern horse is a very good war horse, with strong explosive power, and its endurance is not bad, and it is good to charge into battle and run long distances, but it is a pity that the four war horses together are still not as good as a highland los beast, and they are barely able to drag the wagon.
Seeing this embarrassing situation, Merlin blessed the wagon with two "levitation techniques", and the horse's pressure was greatly reduced, and the wagon was smoothly dragged to keep up with the large army. The old mage returned to Rudolph and said with a heavy face, "My lord, I am afraid that we underestimate those goblins, and their purpose is not to plunder food. ”
"You're saying they came in the van in the first place, intent on killing and injuring the Lothmon and slowing down our march?"
"It's very likely, otherwise it can't explain why the goblins, who have always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, took the initiative to attack the regular legions, and launched nine attacks in a row in five days, this crazy suicide is contrary to the nature of the goblins, and I have to suspect that someone behind the scenes is instigating."
"If that's the case, who will be the main messenger behind the scenes, Dragon's Eye?" Rudolph asked.
The old mage nodded slightly, "The Dragon's Eye is the most suspicious, after all, this place is very close to the territory they control, and it is impossible for them not to know our intentions, I am worried that the weapons specially forged by Lord Bratu for our battle have also leaked out......"
"The Dragon's Eye should not have known our secret weapon yet, otherwise it would not have just driven a group of goblins to harass us," Rudolph muttered, and continued, "but it is not excluded that they are already on alert, and it is imperative that they march as quickly as possible to join Lord Beowulf of Kitland before the Dragon's Eye launches a more violent attack." ”
"Passive marching will inevitably be harassed, even if we defend closely in the future, we will not lose any more Loothmon, it is inevitable to slow down the march, and there is also a hidden danger......" The old mage looked back at the apprentices who were sitting in the van and yawned, and his brows locked even tighter, "The mage must ensure sufficient rest to prepare spells, it is difficult to ensure the quality of sleep during this kind of arduous march, and the two days have been frequently harassed by goblins, so those children will be tired." ”
"Indeed, as you said, passive defense is not a good strategy, I plan to take the initiative to completely destroy those goblins, and by the way, I will give a warning to the main messenger behind the scenes." Rudolph sneered, revealing his white teeth, "Did we catch it alive?" ”
"Of course there is, and I have been interrogated, and the confessions of the captives are all similar, so they should be credible."
"What did you say?"
"The captured goblins said that a terrible monster had come up from the mountain, and without saying a word, he swallowed alive the original leader of the goblin lair, and proclaimed himself the new leader, demanding that all the goblins attack outsiders endlessly and at any cost, and all the goblins were afraid of the monster and did not dare to resist his orders."
"What kind of monster is that?"
"The captives don't know where the other party came from, that guy is mysterious," a strange look appeared on the old mage's face, "It is said that it sometimes looks like a bear goblin, sometimes it looks like a vicious wolf, and another impressive feature is...... The skin is dark blue. ”
"This thing is strange, I seem to smell the smell of conspiracy......" Rudolph narrowed his eagle-sharp eyes, turned to ask the grain wholesaler, "Mr. Mikhail, you are a local, you should be familiar with the environment in this area, do you know where the goblin's lair is?" ”
Mikhail's bare skull pointed to the left side of the mountain road with some uncertainty: "It is said to be in the depths of the valley, but I don't know the exact location." ”
"Suffice it to know that there is such a goblin lair." Rudolph grasped the Mithril emblem on his chest, and a magnificent divine power burst out from between his fingers, condensing into a silver ball of light in the air, and suddenly ejected in the amazed gaze of everyone, and disappeared into the depths of the valley with a few ups and downs.
