124 The Conspiracy of the Goblins

"Orc...... Captive? ”

Warrant Officer Oku looked at Malone and the others in amazement—though he knew that Marshal Lothar's nephew would not be a general, but ......

With less than four hundred men in Nighttown, a hundred soldiers - perhaps untrained militia among them - had killed dozens of orcs and captured orc captives?

"That's true...... It was from that orc's mouth that we knew they would send an army to sweep the western wilderness, so we decided to come here to help you resist the orcs, and at the same time find a way to unite against the orcs; Also, I have good news for you that thousands of survivors are imprisoned in Stormwind and forced to work for the orcs; And there are only a few hundred orc soldiers left in Stormwind...... If we can wipe out this orc army that has entered the western wilderness, maybe we can retake Stormwind and free those compatriots. ”

Malone replied.

"So what are we waiting for?"

Warrant Officer Oku said loudly, he only felt his blood boiling now, and he seemed to have found the urge to fight again when he was under Marshal Lothar to fight against bandits, fishmen, and gnolls.

For the past few months, the survivors of the Wild West have been in the same state as Marlon and the others, ignorant of what is happening in Stormwind and the Elwin Forest, and they can only seek a way to survive in fear.

But now, Marlon brings exciting news - there aren't many orcs in Stormwind, and there are still a fair number of survivors waiting to be rescued.

As a soldier, especially one who served under Anduin Lothar, Warrant Officer Oku never lost sight of his mission - he missed the defense of Stormwind, but now he saw hope of retaking Stormwind.

"I will do everything in my power to support you in your battle, Sir Lothar; From now on, all the 150 militiamen in Mooncreek are under your command - although they have never been on the battlefield, I am sure they will be able to come in handy. ”

Sir Elgardine also said excitedly - that he was reluctant to leave the Wild West on a goblin ship, that it was just an old man's attachment to his homeland - that sometimes, after decades of living in his homeland, you would rather die than leave here.

Now Sir El Gardine doesn't want to leave the Wild West - he thinks that he, and all the survivors, whether they are the survivors of Moonstream or Nightlight, have a responsibility and an obligation to rescue those who are still trapped in Stormwind, enslaved by the orcs.

Even if there was even a glimmer of hope, even if it would cost him blood, Sir Elgadine would support the decision of the young Sir Lothar in front of him - because human beings will never give up - whether it is the hope of survival or the support of each other.

"Thank you for your support, Sir Elgardine, and Warrant Officer Oku, thank you."

Malone said sincerely.

"Don't thank me, Sir Lothar...... If I hadn't been too old to walk, I would have taken up my sword and gone into battle with you; Don't look at me like this, when I was younger, I was the best fencer in the Wild West! ”

Sir Elgardine laughed and said—after months of trepidation and insecurity, and now that he finally saw the hope of a counterattack, how could the aged knight not rekindle the flame of youth?

"But...... What about those goblins? ”

McLaren said suddenly.

"Those goblins...... We're not leaving, I'm going to talk to them and let them go. ”

Warrant Officer Oku thought about it for a moment, and then made his decision; If Stormwind had been recaptured—and from the information provided by the young Sir Lothar, it was highly likely—there would be no need to force these Wild West survivors to leave their homeland; After all, after retaking Stormwind, it will definitely need a lot of manpower.

"What goblins?"

Malone listened to the conversation between McLaren and Warrant Officer Oku, and hurriedly asked—he hadn't read what the goblins were writing on the letter at Sentinel Ridge before.

"That's right, those goblins are going to ......"

Warrant Officer Oku didn't intend to hide anything, and simply explained the purpose of the elves such as Lacroz for coming to the Western Wilderness.

"The goblins are willing to send our men to Booty Bay at such a low price? It's ...... Isn't there something wrong? ”

Malone listened to Warrant Officer Oku's words and asked with a frown.

"That's true...... The prices offered by the goblins were so low, as low as ...... It's as if they're asking us, not us...... The more important suspicions are...... They said they were returning home, but they didn't bring the returning cargo, which wasn't like a goblin approach. ”

McLaren also said with some concern.

"Perhaps...... You survivors, the cargo they are returning to? ”

Ma Long had a whim and came up with such a sentence.

"What?"

McLaren was stunned and asked somewhat incomprehensibly.

Not only the tax collector of Sentinel Ridge, but also Warrant Officer Oku, Sir Elgardine, or Paul, Robin, and De Jong, did not understand what Malone meant.

Malone didn't know why he came up with such an idea, but when he mentioned goblins, he thought of those unscrupulous capitalists on the earth, and by further extension, he thought of the infamous era of the black slave trade.

Although this was just a whim at first, the more Ma Long thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible—there were thousands of survivors in Yuexi Town, but there were only a few hundred soldiers; Once the goblin fleet transports these humans to Treasure Bay, what happens next, these humans will have no control over their own destiny.

"We don't have time for those goblins...... But you can't just let them go back...... Let's get them under control first. ”

Malone said.

"Okay."

Warrant Officer Oku nodded—he had used the goblins as the last "straw" for the survivors of the Wild West, and neither Sir Elgardine nor McLaren could convince him; However, Marlon's identity was completely different, and Warrant Officer Oku now believed that Marlon was Marshal Lothar's nephew, and his respect for the old commander made it easy for him to obey Marlon's command.

"Paul, you take someone to control those goblins, don't let them escape."

Malone commanded.

"Yes, Chief Lothar."

Paul exclaimed, then turned to walk out of the room.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Warrant Officer Oku spoke—his soldiers were still confronting the men Marlon had brought, and someone had to explain the situation to the soldiers.
