It was one of the busiest days ever in Garkison's history, and the remote desert city was greeted by a group of visitors, though they were not well-intentioned visitors, who were well-equipped and fierce, and surrounded the city as soon as they came up. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The leader is none other than the elven king who was once looked down upon by the goblin prince.
Of course, if the opponent was just this group of troops with no more than 10,000 numbers, the Goblin Prince would not have much of a headache, and what really made them lose their confidence was the large group of dragons that covered the sky and the sun.
There were thousands of dragons flying in the sky, and the visual might alone was enough to scare the hearts of many goblins, and even the only two remaining weapons of mass destruction in the city, the Tyrannosaurus, trembled in front of these dragons, and in the face of such an enemy, the goblins had no hope of victory.
At this time, in the prince's council room, the leaders of the uninvited guests were looking at the goblin prince in front of him with a scrutinizing attitude, and the goblin prince, who had become a ball, trembled like a schoolboy who made a mistake and was punished for standing, and from time to time he had to wipe the sweat from his head, and he was so frightened for the first time in his life.
He couldn't understand what he had done wrong, how could he provoke the dragon's hostility when he was just molesting the maid at home and sleeping?
Looking at the elven king sitting in the middle, the goblin prince knew that he was the culprit of this incident, fuck, isn't it some goblin sitting on the ground in your country? You've killed all of you, and you're looking for me for something.
And just look for it, and invite such a big battle as a dragon.
In short, he is now aggrieved and only wants to scold his mother, but he doesn't dare to ......
"Ahem!" Zhang Li broke the oppressive atmosphere of the scene and drew his attention to himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after the events of the recent past, I am sure that you will not question the sins of the goblins, but in order to convince some people, a rigorous trial is necessary."
Malfurion and Muon didn't say anything, the goblins did collude with the Twilight cultists, but the goblins insisted that they hired the Twilight cultists as mercenaries, and they couldn't say anything, after all, not all forces could know that this was a world-destroying organization.
It just so happened that Zhang Li said that he had also found a lot of tangible evidence that could prove the crime of the goblin, so the most important judge was Zhang Li, and what they wanted to do was just a witness.
The Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa is also among them, and she is actually very uninterested in this kind of mortal court, but because it involves the power of the ancient gods, as the guardian of the world, she feels that it is necessary to give a certain degree of attention, and the representatives of various dragons are among them at this time.
"Some" were frightened after being swept by the female elf with dragon horns, and their hearts beat several times.
"That'...... That one...... I swear that I will do everything in my power to help you get your people back, and of course I will compensate you a considerable amount of labor and military expenses, can we resolve this misunderstanding? The goblin prince smiled cautiously, he was no different from a timid goblin beggar.
"Don't be so nervous, Qiuqiu, you don't have to worry about that matter anymore, my men have recovered my people among your arena slaves, and then I will discuss the issue of compensation with you privately, now, let's talk about more important issues."
The more important question? The goblin prince is a little confused at this time, what other big things has he done besides this imposed crime? He doesn't have time to protest against Qiuqiu's nickname now.
"One of my subordinates has reported to me that you have been in collusion with Deathwing." Zhang Li said calmly.
"Deathwing? What is that? "Prince Qiuqiu's face is full of capital Lambi, why doesn't he remember having done business with a guy with such a middle two name?
However, several of the people present were shocked, and the Red Dragon Queen stood up suddenly, and her dangerous gaze instantly focused on Qiuqiu.
"What you said is true!?" In the Red Dragon Queen's mind, Deathwing is dead, but the name will always cause her to be wary.
"It's true, Your Majesty, maybe you don't know it yet, Deathwing just faked his death, and he himself is still hiding somewhere in the world." Zhang Li actually knew where Nesario was hiding, but this was not the best time to go to war with him, he himself needed to cultivate, and his country also needed to develop, so it was better to wait for him to come out by himself......
The Red Dragon Queen subconsciously looked at the only black dragon Naris present, the black dragon as a public enemy of the world rarely dares to appear in front of the world, but this black dragon has no choice.
Frost Dragon Sindragosa (The story is not much to introduce, the dragon boss in the Lich King dungeon, once the spouse of the Blue Dragon King, died in battle during the War of the Ancients, because he believes that the demon invasions are all caused by the elves, so he hates all mortal races. In order to take revenge on all mortals, she needs to resurrect more bone dragons to fight for her, Sindragosa, who is out of the control of the Lich King, is not short-sighted like the Lich King in the game, who dares to provoke all the five-colored dragons, she wanders the dragon bone wilderness with her faithful little brother Saphilon, in addition to resurrecting the dragon bones here, she also sets her sights on the only dragon holy place that dares to provoke - the Black Dragon Holy Land, for this race of public enemies of the world, no matter what she does, no one will come out to administer justice, so they occupy it, The bones of the black dragon buried here are constantly resurrected.
As a public enemy of the world, there are only two or three small dragons left in the Black Dragon Holy Land, and Naris is one of them, she is about to be cornered by homelessness, and finally simply gives up and defects to the Red Dragon Queen, and she is accepted.
Although all the dragons thought that this black dragon had bad intentions, because even under the fence, this black dragon was still so arrogant and did not take any dragons seriously, but Alexstasa was merciful, and Naris eventually became the only dragon in the Black Dragon Legion of the Dragon's Sleeping Alliance, so it was only natural that she was the ambassador.
Perhaps the real reason why Alexstrasa accepted her was because she believed that even if she had a conspiracy, she would not be able to make any waves, after all, she thought that even the Black Dragon King Nesario was dead......
Under the forced gaze of the dragons, Naris, a black-haired beauty with an oriental hairstyle, remained calm.
"I don't know." Just such a sentence obviously did not get the approval of everyone present, do you not know if Nesario is dead or do you not know where he is hiding?
But it didn't seem like she wanted to explain anything, and that expression gave people a clear conscience.
"Okay, okay, am I right, there's someone here to give you the answer, right, Chromie?" Seeing that Naris was about to be pulled out by many dragons to "bend into a move", Zhang Li hurriedly regained their attention.
“…… That's right, it's all true. Just thinking about it for a moment, the lovely Lolimi nodded and admitted, and now the fact that Nesario is still alive has been implemented, and no one will question the words of the bronze dragon, this group of mysterious dragons are all prophets.
Just when the dragons couldn't sit still and were about to discuss this matter on the spot, Zhang Li once again guided them in the right direction: "I think we can settle the matter in front of us first, and you can discuss Deathwing later." After all, Zhang Li still had some face, and Alexstaza sat back again.
Zhang Li looked at the aggrieved Qiuqiu again and said, "Let me ask you, are you looking for essentia ingots all over the world?" ”
Prince Qiuqiu nodded subconsciously, and then quickly explained: "It is true that someone pays a high price to buy this rare mineral, but who knows what they buy it for?" Maybe they have something to do with the Deathwing you said, but that's none of my business. ”
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it yet, if you can, I hope you will invite the goblin in charge of buying and selling essentia ingots here, and we will talk carefully." Essentia ingots, this is the biggest hand that Zhang Li convicted the goblins, this is a super rare mineral, as the "holy light" that controls Vanessa, he even knows that the goblins will even buy essentia ores from humans, and they have no reason to let go of this kind of mineral-producing land like Garkison.
Sure enough, in the end, two goblins were pressed up, and when they saw the dragon, the two goblins planned to run away, but there were eyes and ears of the Prince of Qiuqiu everywhere, and the two guys tried to escape, but they were still caught.
"So...... I think you know exactly why I got you here, right? Looking at the surrounding group of humanoid creatures with dragon horns, the goblins couldn't guess the true identity of these people, and the process was skipped, and under all kinds of inhumane whipping, they shook everything out.
Sure enough, Deathwing took control of some goblins and ordered them to buy essentia ingots everywhere, but these two were just low-level personnel, and they didn't know where Deathwing was really hiding, just like pyramid schemes, they all had a line of things like them, and they didn't know how many goblins were loyal to Nesario behind their backs.
In short, this news confirms the identity of the goblin criminal, even if there are indeed innocent people, as a dragon, they will not spend effort to discern it, in the face of the scourge of the world, the death of mortals is insignificant, not to mention that goblins are not welcomed in the first place.
So the people ignored Qiuqiu's pleas and began to discuss what to do with the goblins.
"Goblins are evil creatures, and I know that there are goblins wreaking havoc all over the world, which has driven many elements into madness." Munn, a member of the Ring of the Earth, hates Goblin Ventures because they appear all over the world and destroy the local environment every time, and the Ring of the Earth inspires to appease the elements everywhere, so he hates this evil syndicate.
"So let's kill them all." This was the words of a certain dragon envoy, who was so frightened that Qiuqiu almost fainted and collapsed directly to the ground.
"I'm not in favor of that, there are many different organizations of goblins, and we can't punish all goblins for the mistakes of one organization." Malfurion has a virgin heart, and the Cenarion Council, represented by him, is also wanted by Goblin Ventures, but he can't kill the innocent.
"Then sit back and wait for Nesario's plot to succeed?" There was a dragon to refute.
"I respect every life, and I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately if I can, but I don't mind going against my heart if it's all built on more lives." Alexstaza's words almost doomed the goblins, and as the highest status creature here, no one would argue with her, especially since this decision was in line with the wishes of the majority.
However, there are people here who don't care about her status, and Zhang Li, the driving force behind all this, has expressed his opposition.
"I don't agree." He once again attracted everyone's attention, and even the ball ball that was slumped on the ground lit up with a glimmer of hope.
"I agree with Malfurion, goblins are not all evil, they can't be killed with a stick, instead of completely forcing the goblins into Nesario's camp, I think it's better to know the stakes and let the goblins understand the seriousness of this matter, on the contrary, we can use them, our own people know their own people best, as long as we have the help of goblins, I think we will have a lot easier on the road to search for the Twilight forces and capture the slaves of Deathwing." Zhang Licai didn't want to destroy the goblins, these races that had done business in all corners of the world had unimaginable energy that everyone present, and being the enemy of all the goblins was no less than fighting an alternative world war, not to mention that he always valued the wealth of the goblins.
"But no one will be able to take care of it, so my people and I are willing to take over this responsibility and be in charge of monitoring the goblins here, I will not spare every bad person, but I don't want to blame any good person either." Zhang Li said it heartbreakingly, but it is conceivable that if it is really as Zhang Li said, supervising goblins is definitely a complicated and trivial troublesome job.
But it's also a lot of work.
For some reason, Zhang Li at this time became much cuter in the eyes of the ball.
Our Lady's speeches always stood on the moral high ground, and everyone present finally agreed with Zhang Li's concept.
Eventually, Zhang Li's kingdom took over the responsibility of managing the goblins, and with the help of the dragon, Zhang Li's army took over the city and the harbor in place of Prince Qiuqiu, and Qiuqiu was forced to sign an unequal treaty, so the city remained nominally Qiuqiu, but it existed in name only.
Every goblin who enters and leaves here must be inspected, every transaction must be carried out under the supervision of someone in a designated place, and if there is a disobedient person who is directly shot, there are many other harsh conditions, and some loopholes will be replenished in the future.
It was his first colony.
