116 Goblins
Sir Elgardine stood at the door of Mooncreek Town Hall, silently watching Warrant Officer Oku and his soldiers walk in front of him—today was the day Warrant Officer Oku's ultimatum expired. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sir Elgardine himself disagrees with Warrant Officer Oku's opinion of the goblins, but he is not representative of all the survivors who remain in Moonstream.
A significant number of the refugees had fled to the Wild West from Stormwind and the Elwyn Forest, and they were unwilling to do it again after experiencing the horrific raids of the orcs, so they became staunch supporters of Warrant Officer Oku.
Most of the townspeople of Mooncreek followed Sir Elgardine's advice unconditionally, and had no intention of boarding the ship; McLaren also did his best to convince the residents of Sentinel Ridge who believed in him to stay in Mooncreek.
Even so, hundreds of people were determined to leave, and Warrant Officer Oku was planning to escort the refugees with his soldiers to the agreed place of the boat with the goblins, the town of Moon Creek was not far from the sea, but it was also some distance, and it was not easy for the refugees with their families to drag their families.
"There's nothing we can do to stop him."
McLaren walked up to Sir Elgardine and whispered.
"yes......"
Ser Elgardine sighed and said - Warrant Officer Oku decided that the goblin ships were a way to save everyone, but he himself chose to stay and fight the orcs; With such feelings, it was difficult for Sir Elgardine to make any accusations against the garrison officer of Sentinel Ridge.
"These guys definitely have another plan."
McLaren looked fiercely at Warrant Officer Oku's side, where three goblins were squeezing their ugly heads together in big wide-brimmed hats, ridiculous suspender pants and red plaid shirts.
The three goblins had come to serve as guides for Warrant Officer Oku - to prevent him and his refugees from going in the wrong direction; This made McLaren even more vigilant - when did the goblins who only recognized gold coins become so sweet?
Warrant Officer Oku didn't seem to like the goblins either—as could be seen from the frowning brow he had been continuing.
However, Warrant Officer Oku's attitude towards these goblins is not too bad - after all, he has decided to stay, so many people will be on the goblin ship, and Warrant Officer Oku does not want to cause other refugees to be affected by his bad temper.
"And even if we had, what would we do? You can't just ask the militia in Yuexi Town to arrest these goblins directly, right? You know, there are hundreds of people who are their saviors......"
Sir Elgardine said with a wry smile.
"This ......"
McLaren's face froze, and he could only shake his head, speechless.
……
"There are hundreds of us on board...... Is your ship big enough? ”
Warrant Officer Oku stopped, stared at the leader of the three goblins, and asked solemnly—this guy's name was Lacroz, and he was the one who led the goblin caravan to Sentinel Ridge to propose this deal.
Warrant Officer Oku hated this green-skinned dwarf who was only up to his waist, but the situation was stronger than people, and he had to suppress his disgust and communicate with the goblin merchant.
"Why so little? I remember there were thousands of you! Aren't the others going to go along? ”
LaCroz seems to be very unhappy with the figure provided by Warrant Officer Oku.
"Everyone else is going to stay, including me...... You haven't answered my question yet, goblins. ”
Warrant Officer Oku didn't explain much, but still stared at the diminutive Lacroz, a goblin no taller than his sword.
"Well, well, impatient humans...... Rest assured, we don't have a large ship that can fit a few hundred people, but we have a fleet of more than a few hundred people...... Trust me, I was ready to pick you all up in the first place. ”
Lacroz grinned, revealing some sharp teeth that had been browned by the smoke leaves—a smile that was worse than crying.
"I hope what you say is true, goblins...... I'll send some of my soldiers to follow your ship, if you want...... You know what I mean. ”
Warrant Officer Oku was still a little uneasy about threatening the goblin - though he couldn't reach an agreement with Sir Elgadine, the old mayor's words made the garrison of Sentinel Ridge a little more vigilant.
"Okay, okay, no problem......"
Lacloz hummed in response, but his hand inadvertently scratched his long, pointy ears—as if he were a little nervous.
However, Warrant Officer Oku didn't notice this, and he left with his own soldiers - the fortifications of Mooncreek were much worse than Sentinel Ridge, and even less so than Stormwind.
Warrant Officer Oku was determined to stay and protect Sir Elgardine and his townsmen if they refused to go—and he knew the danger of doing so, and that ninety out of ten would be dead; But before he died, Warrant Officer Orku was going to make the orcs pay the price in blood - he wanted to show the green-skinned mintagons that even if they captured Stormwind, they would ...... The war is far from over!
As long as there is a human being alive in the south of the continent - whether he is male or female, old man or child - as long as he is alive, this war will never end; This deep hatred, soaked in blood and death, will never dissipate until the last orc cries and falls in a pool of blood!
……
Watching Warrant Officer Oku leave, Lacroz stretched out his fingers and picked at his large hooked nose with his long, pointed nails.
"The owner...... How are there only a few hundred people? Didn't we come for nothing this time? ”
A goblin approached Lacroz's side and asked, a little embarrassed.
"A few hundred people are also people...... You can dig up several truckloads of ore in a day when you enter the mine...... Besides, there are women here, although human women are not as good-looking as the women of the High Elves, and they are not as rare as the women of the dwarfs, but ...... If you send it to the centaur tribe in the west, you can exchange it for a lot of gold...... Those ** monsters, after all, have only seen female centaurs and minotaurs, and human women are already ...... in their eyes The superior quality too. ”
A greedy smile appeared on Lacroz's face, and his tone perfectly encapsulated one word—treacherous.
The cunning little goblin didn't worry about his words being heard—there was obviously no need to speak the lingua franca when communicating with his men, and he didn't think there would be humans in this town who could understand the goblin language.
"But a few hundred people still ...... Even if you use that money to plunder merchant ships, the benefits will be better, right? ”
The goblin was still complaining.
"Idiot! Now that the orcs have almost knocked down the human kingdom, and the entire southern part of the continent has been occupied by them, you still want to grab merchant ships? Is there anything else on the Endless Sea now besides our goblins' own merchant ships? Do you want to offend the Princes of Trade? ”
Lacroz slapped his man the back of the head and said in hatred.
