Chapter 384: Goblins Appear
"Are nomads awesome?" Seeing the dignified look on the bones, Qi Wanru couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
"It's hard to say, if you don't provoke him, he's a herd. But once it is given some kind of mission, or there is a conflict of living space. Their combat effectiveness and destruction are not inferior to those of the druids? Bones' eyes were full of doubts, obviously they really couldn't figure it out, why were the nomads still wandering around this area at this time, they should have gone to the depths of Marshal Huang.
But soon the bones got the answer, because the prince's angry voice sounded in the guild channel: "These damn goblins, anyone can tell how there are goblins here, and what is the matter with the weapons in their hands, and there are even cavalry?" ”
The prince's words couldn't help but make the bones stunned, and he almost appeared directly to see what was going on. Goblins have been particularly active lately, when he was still working on his casting skills in the blacksmith to get a strength bonus. His titular master, Dobes, mentions goblins more than once.
Goblins have a glorious past, and they are beings that can compete with the gods and dragons. But because of the study of the forbidden field, he was once knocked to the ground, and since then he has been ruthlessly suppressed by the gods. Now the gods loosened the reins a little, and they began to recover rapidly with the wisdom and blood in their bones.
As a result, the identity of the goblins has become a little uncertain, and the goblins in the wild can be treated as monsters, because they will attack the player like stray dogs, and the player will naturally kill them. But the experience of killing goblins is pitiful, and recently more players have found that killing goblins has no experience.
What does this mean? This shows that the identity of the goblin has begun to evolve from monsters to humans, because in the game "Gods and Demons", only the killer does not gain experience, but he can get the standing goods on the body of the dead. But their wisdom, though at the level of humans, is cursed by the gods.
Coupled with the fact that they have been away from human civilization for so long, they do not have their own fixed territory. Not even more a country of its own. They still live in the wild like stray dogs, and there is no country or race that has expressed acceptance of goblins. As a result, the goblins are now outcasts, and they are outcasts who have not received any official status.
So at this time, the goblins and monsters actually attacked the city in the first phase, which made the bones a little puzzled. Because according to the rules of the game "Gods and Demons", now you want to grab the territory of either side. There must be a snatch token. And the system will prompt when you use the snatching token, but now there is no prompt, and the goblins suddenly appeared, what is the current identity of these guys? Monsters, or humans?
"What class of troops do goblins have?" Bones hurriedly asked like a prince, and he suddenly thought of something.
"A flock of infantry with wooden sticks, riding all sorts of wild boars. Bison, and a cavalry of wild wolves or something, and a couple of stupid big ones, kind of like the Hulk? What kind of monsters are these? And it looks like a soldier is not a soldier's. No matter how high the system is, what kind of moth is it? The prince's voice cursed.
"Maybe there's something wrong with the place you chose to build the city."
"What do you mean?" The prince asked, puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a goblin tribe nearby that is building a country. Your station is on the territory of their country, and what would you do if a force suddenly appeared on your land to build a city? Bones spoke.
This is the only way to explain why the goblins can go to war without declaring a war, as this area is within their territory. They are not robbing other people's territory, but driving away threats from their own territory, just like the lion king driving away the lion who has been outside, it is not a land grabbing at all.
"Rub, is this okay? But when I chose a place in the City Lord's Mansion, I could clearly see that this was a borderless land? The prince was a little confused.
"No, the Borderlands City Lord's Mansion will definitely not allow you to apply. This is a bit cumbersome to explain. To put it simply, this area nominally belongs to the city lord's mansion, but it also belongs to the goblins who are now estimated to be stated. The orders of the Castle Lord's Mansion will not work on the side of the Goblin Nation. That's why people are going to beat you. ”
"I'm going to go for a mile, I won't be so pitiful, right?"
"I guess that's the pit, so now you have to defeat the goblins in addition to dealing with monster sieges. So that you can gain a foothold here. ”
Now the issue of the residence of the Dynasty Guild is like the disputed territory of two countries, both of which claim this disputed territory as their own, so at this time the other country suddenly approves that a person will come and build a city here. Naturally, the other country cannot sit idly by and call directly. It's just that the timing of the goblin's choice to attack the city is very wonderful, and it is mixed with the monster siege.
"I, day, you still let me choose this place so bad?" The prince was speechless.
"When you chose this place, I guess these goblins hadn't yet built a country. I didn't expect the city to be so bad. ”
I can't help but feel a little headache in my bones. Although the general direction will not be wrong. But what he knows always appears on the set from time to time with the reality in front of him, which is something he didn't expect. For example, before the goblins were stray dogs in the wild, there was no threat at all, and the player would not even look at them.
But now the goblins trembled, and not only the cursed wisdom was slowly civilized. And it started to loot everywhere, causing a lot of chaos, and even now I have my own territory snacks that I have begun to see. And the territory of Eternal Night City is really difficult to define.
Because the game of "Gods and Demons" is very large, especially on the side of the dark camp, there is not only a vast land on the ground, but also an endless abyss below. According to the division of the system, these lands are under the jurisdiction of Eternal Night City, but in fact, the place where Eternal Night City speaks is also about 500 miles from his city.
Territories beyond this range can only be regarded as nominal territories, and those princes in the territory will not bird him at all. Originally, the area chosen by the prince was on the edge of the jurisdiction of Eternal Night City, and there were no big forces nearby, so there was no problem in building the city, who knew that a goblin tribe would run out now.
"So what now?" The prince couldn't help but be a little speechless, he had already died in every precaution, and he didn't know how many brain cells had made all kinds of preparations and plans, but the main play had just begun, and a group of uninvited audiences came and messed up his plan.
"Except to kill. Do you have any other options? At this time, you don't expect Eternal Night City to send troops to help you quell the chaos, those soldiers in Eternal Night City, if you let them shoot, it is better to ask the players who are watching the excitement outside to take action. "My bones hurt a little.
"NND, no matter, one is to kill. Two are also killing. But the goblins built a country here, if I defend it, can I take down the goblin country as my own territory? "The prince was clearly preparing to come hard.
"If you think you can withstand the siege of Eternal Night City, or if you are willing to give up the territory you have worked so hard to and let Eternal Night City send an enforcer down, this is a good idea."
"I-. Is there any royal law left? Why can a goblin build a country here, and there won't be a single fart in Eternal Night City. After Lao Tzu's hard work, he wants to make a wedding dress for Eternal Night City? ”
"If you feel entrenched in the wild, you won't be in Night's City again. Thus revoking your status as a citizen of Eternal Night City, then Eternal Night City will not send an executive officer to you. There will also be negotiations on whether to attack you, and it may be possible to delay it for a while. ”
"I'll go. Just as Lao Tzu didn't say it. Unless this time can be delayed for half a year, or even a year later, Lao Tzu has the ability to argue with Eternal Night City, otherwise how will Lao Tzu mix after he breaks away from Eternal Night City? The prince rolled his eyes directly, and then the guild channel sounded the sound of various troop dispatches.
All players in the dark camp are born to belong to the citizens of Eternal Night City, and of course, many players have been shunted out, after all, one Eternal Night City can't fit so many people. In fact, the early stage of the main city is just a safe point and guardian for players, and it provides convenience for the growth of players.
After the player's strength really grows, the main city will be dominated by the player's power. But at the moment, the player obviously does not have the strength to compete with the main city. Whether it's level, or equipment. Now the players and the main city army are not of the same grade at all. And players upgrade their skills and take on tasks in the main city. If you cancel your citizenship at this time, you will become a stateless outcast, just like a goblin.
"However, although there are some more troubles in defending the city, as long as the defense is successful, this trouble will become a big benefit?"
"What do you mean?" The prince couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"There can't be only players in each player's territory, and players can take on quests to kill monsters and upgrade. Or do some ancillary work. But you can't let players go to farming, no players come to play the game and want to farm, even if there are only a very small number of these people after all, it is impossible for you to call them all over. ”
"In addition, the construction after the successful defense of the station, the maintenance of the store. The repair of the walls, as well as all walks of life, requires a large population to fill it in so that your territory can continue to grow. In the past, you could only buy it from Eternal Night City if you wanted the population, and the price was still too high to death. Go to war with other forces and capture slaves, and you are not prepared for that. And isn't the goblin in front of you the best choice? ”
"Will this work?" The prince couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
"It should be possible, after all, the goblins are now outcasts with no identity. Real citizens can be captured as slaves through war, let alone outcasts without status. However, if these outcasts want them to do things for you, they need to spend some money. It's like domesticating a wild horse into a mount, it's a job of patience. It's not like the slaves you bought with money because of the contract, unless they want to defect, they can only obey you. ”
"Didn't that bring them in and get a ticking time bomb?"
"It depends on how you understand it, there must be drawbacks to convenient things, and there are so many benefits waiting for you to take advantage of. Things that don't cost money will definitely come at a price, but the goblins are already civilized, and if you can include them among your citizens, it will definitely be beneficial for your future development. ”
"Then I'll think about it." Although the prince is unreliable in doing things and dressing up, his brain is obviously not unreliable, and he can naturally think clearly about the pros and cons of this. But how to do it needs to be considered comprehensively, after all, recruiting citizens is the foundation of development, and we must be cautious, otherwise the territory that is hard to hold will be ruined.
With the goblins in the war, this makes the battle of the Dynasty Guild even more difficult. Compared to siege monsters that can only rampage, the intelligently civilized goblins know what real combat is and how to use tactics. Although their current country has not been established, at most it can be regarded as a non-falling, and the army they formed is also a ragtag army.
The monsters besieging the city will not obey their commands either. But the besieging monsters can be the vanguard for them, and they can be cannon fodder. This saved the goblins a lot of effort, and they only needed to watch from behind and not move, and a group of cannon fodder who didn't want money rushed forward to make a contribution to them.
"Don't save the crossbow and shoot that nomad to me." The vibration of the ground outside the city never stopped. With the addition of the goblins, the scene became a bit chaotic, and the nomads with horsewhips burrowed around like a loach in the back, so that the thieves sent by the Dynasty Guild to assassinate them could not get close at all, and were killed by the combined efforts of monsters or goblins.
So I watched the monsters in the distance keep approaching the city wall under the control of the nomads. If the yak herd really rushed over such a ground vibration, the city wall would definitely collapse directly. Therefore, at this time, the prince did not care about saving, and directly chose to use a heavy crossbow.
In fact, the heavy crossbow is nothing to a local tyrant like the prince who advertises with 180,000 gold coins to attract people's hatred. However, due to the low level of the current life player, it is impossible to craft a heavy crossbow and can only be purchased from the system store. But because this is military materiel, there are certain restrictions on the quantity of purchases.
So the Heavy Crossbow is a good thing that money can't buy now, because you can only apply for a station, in the name of station defense. The purchase quantity is 10 crossbow arrows and 100 arrows. This is what the prince was going to use to deal with the unexpected, but now he had to use it early.
"The heavy crossbow has also come out, and it seems that this accident has really caused him a lot of trouble. Did the little man with the horsewhip find out what it was? "When the Dynasty Guild was in full swing to defend the city, on a high ground southwest of the Dynasty Residence. A somewhat rich man stood there, looking at the battle in the distance.
"Send a few thieves with high reconnaissance skills to sneak in, but there are too many monsters there and it is very chaotic. Our people can only go by stealth, so they can't get close to the few who have already died, for fear of attracting the attention of the Dynasty Guild, so they will retreat, and they don't know what that thing is? Standing behind the man was a goatee and dressed in ancient costume. At a glance, there was a little elegance, and a little treacherous The man spoke.
"Send someone to the neighborhood to investigate. The monsters besieging the city were all summoned from the nearby monster groups, and since he appeared here, it is estimated that the old nest is not far from here. And let the people over there be ready, but not in a hurry. The more you end up, the more you have to be stable, the guy who looks unreliable on the surface, has a smarter calculation in his heart than anyone else, and he can't miss a big thing. ”
"Childe, rest assured, everything is under control. This plan has been laid out for so long and at such a huge cost, so it is natural to be careful and careful to be foolproof. The man in ancient costume hugged his fists, and his posture was a little low, just like the master who gave advice to his master in ancient times.
"How's Qin Liang's investigation?" The man nodded, and then asked.
"It's certain that he's not dead, but it seems that it's really a serious injury that left some hidden danger, although it's not certain how big the impact of this hidden danger is. But there will certainly be no threat in the short term. But it's always a variable to keep it, should we ...... it" The costume master gestured to wipe his neck.
"Wait, Zhong Laohu's side is still holding on to this matter, he has already cut off several heavyweight heads, as for whether he will continue to kill chickens and monkeys, or even kill monkeys and respect monkeys, no one can say for sure. Since we can find out this information, those who really do it will definitely be able to find out, aren't they in a hurry and we are in a hurry? The man waved his hand, his face was extremely calm, even though he knew that his brother-killing enemy was in front of him and could do it at any time, his gaze was still unwavering.
Qin Liang's dodge obviously can't completely hide people's eyes, and he may be able to dodge for a while at first. But after a long time, unless Qin Liang goes to the wild to be a savage, otherwise those forces that attack him can even attack the military base, and finding out where he is will only take some time at most.
However, although these people knew that Qin Liang was still alive, no one continued to do it while sighing that Qin Liang had a great life. Because although some time has passed now, Zhong Laohu's anger has not been extinguished, and it is still burning. No one is willing to bang Qin Liang now, this guy who only has half a life left at a glance, come to try Zhong Laohu's butcher's knife is not sharp.
Therefore, although the news that Qin Liang was still alive had already been grasped by the people who wanted to kill him, the current situation had strangely entered a state of equilibrium. As long as Qin Liang is still sick and can't recover completely, then those people won't do anything to him, and it's not worth it to spend so much money on a wasted person.
After the trembling sound of the bowstring that made people's scalps tingle, 10 huge crossbow arrows more than 10 meters long shot towards the monsters in the distance like poisonous dragons going out to sea. Because there is a sequence of time to shoot, the crossbow bolt in front clears the monsters blocking in front of it, and the nomad who is hiding in the monster group with a horsewhip is nailed to the ground by a crossbow arrow.
The death of the nomad made the formation of the yak herd in front of it change in an instant, and the trampling like an earthquake disappeared directly. The Dynasty Guild, which was pressed and beaten, finally had a chance to breathe. The player instantly pounces on a burst of slashing and slashing, clearing the yak herd, and then everyone goes out with all their strength to take out all the hungry monsters that attack in the second wave. (To be continued......)
