Chapter 189: Water Probing Stick
The goblins were caught off guard by the bandits due to tactical mistakes, and not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but the large melee that could be provoked made the powerful goblin mechanical legion useless, and could only watch and stare from the outside. But when the adventurers arrived and joined the battle, the form reversed again!
The adventurers, who were already known for fighting in small groups, relied on the huge advantage in numbers to turn the occupation around in an instant, and when the goblins took advantage of the gap to retreat and form a formation, the robbers tragically found that each companion was surrounded by four or five, or even more than a dozen adventurers, and then they were dismembered by the knife before they even had time to react.
With the addition of adventurers and the replacement of the goblins, the mechanical legion was also blocked by the rabble that rushed up, and the two bandit leaders each pulled a team out of the scuffle, made a small move on the well, and ran away without looking back. It didn't take long for the thousands of bandits who had been abandoned behind to be slaughtered by the red-eyed adventurers, and they didn't even get a chance to abandon their weapons and surrender. When the adventurers were fighting, even the goblins did not dare to interfere and could only let it go, for fear of provoking the fire.
By the time the adventurers had calmed down and the goblin troops were in control again, there was no longer a single bandit standing in the field. The goblins carefully guided them to the outside of the paddy field and gathered at random, leaving the mechanical legion to guard before they began to investigate the drilling of the well.
After waiting for about an hour, the chief engineer Shaxx reappeared, came to the adventurers and said a few words, indicating that the well was safe and the water crisis was resolved, leaving some goblins to guard the paddy fields and leave with a large army. The adventurers listened to his explanation, and they also relaxed and hurried back with the goblin troops.
Although the battle seems to have a big advantage for the adventurers, their own casualties are not much worse than the number of robbers, after all, no matter how good the form is, it cannot hide their disorganized and undisciplined nature, the strong can often survive or even make a small breakthrough, and the weak can only drink hatred in the melee.
Fortunately, none of the people in the Fenghong Kingdom were weak, and there was no attrition in a big battle, but Xie Feng rushed to the front line in order to train himself and learn from some strong lone rangers to leave the team, and he fought very happily. Although there was a small breakthrough, the result was also quite miserable, with countless scars on his body, large and small, and in the end, it was the pet wolf with a small gun who dragged him out of the pile of dead people who were dying, and picked up a life.
Xie Feng didn't care about this, the battlefield is always the fastest place to improve his strength, and only less than half an hour of battle can be worth a month's hard training in ordinary times, and he can now feel that he is not far from breaking through, and he can reach the fifth order in one or two more battles.
Everyone in the Maple Red Country was very satisfied with this hearty battle, and walked in the middle of the adventurer team one by one, talking and laughing. However, the hunter gun, who is the brains of the team, has been frowning and not saying a word.
"You found out too?" Lan Shen and Xie Feng, who found that his face was wrong, were full of footsteps and ended up chatting with him while walking~ "I can't be sure for the time being," Xiao Gun shook his head and said, "But there must be something wrong with the well!" I think the goblins must have been afraid of causing panic and riots to block the news. β
Xie Feng and Lan Shen looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Lan Shen sighed: "I thought I was too careful, but now that I hear you say this, eighty percent of it is a problem!" β
"yes!" Xie Feng nodded: "With the style of those robbers, how could we easily get the well after suffering such a big loss?" And after suffering such a big loss, the guards left by the goblins at the well did not even have the original number"
The small gun pointed at the team members in front of him and a few other adventurers around: "There is more than one smart person!" A lot of people have already found out that something is wrong, but they just haven't spoken out! If the goblins can't come up with an effective solution after they get back, it won't be long before Garkison falls apart! β
Xie Feng was silent, and the blue god also sighed lightly and bowed his head silently.
At this time, Sen Senyang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said, "What is there to worry about?" It's not like Silvermoon City and Orgrimmar are going to be destroyed, doesn't Garkison have anything to do with us? It's a big deal to go back! β
The three of them were stunned, too! It's not that the tribe is going to end, it's a big deal to go back, what's there to worry about?
The corners of Lan Shen's mouth twitched: "No matter!" It's up to the goblins to clean up~ It's a vacation! β
For the rest of the journey, the adventurers completely let go of their minds, laughing loudly and scolding loudly, not taking the water problem seriously at all. Among them, there is indeed a problem solved by a person with a brain and a big nerve, but after all, there will never be fewer smart people, but they just have their own thoughts and do not say it. Despite the undercurrents in the interior, there is a harmonious scene on the surface
Back at Garkison, the goblin troops naturally returned to the camp to rest, and the adventurers dispersed, either looking for a nest or foraging for food, and scattered in an instant
Xie Feng and the others also returned to the station, and before they could sit down, a goblin guard came to the door, saying that Shaxx had invited Xie Feng and the president of the Fenghong Kingdom to go to the Gakison Administration Office to discuss important matters. Everyone knows what to talk about, although they have nothing to do with themselves, but if they can help Gakisen through this difficult time without losing the interests of the team, they immediately readily agreed, discussed it a little, and finally decided that Xie Feng, Lan Shen and Xiao Gun would go.
Led by the goblin guards, the trio made a beeline for the administrative district northeast of Garkison. From time to time on the way, I saw one or two adventurers with a calm temperament heading in the same direction under the leadership of the goblins, thinking that they were the leaders of other adventure groups who had been notified by Shaxx. Seeing this situation, Xie Feng and the three of them were in a much better mood, which at least proved that Shaxx had measures to deal with it.
After walking for a quarter of an hour or so, the three of them were led by the goblins to the Gakison Administration Office, which was a large brick kiln-style earthen house. The place where Shaxx met was a large conference room, with a podium in the middle, and some chairs scattered around it, which were already full at this time, and the station of the Maple Red Country was a little farther away, and it was the last group of adventure leaders to arrive.
The three of them found a random place to sit down, and after a few adventurer leaders entered, the goblins closed the door to the conference room, and Shaxx, who had already sat on the stage, officially opened his mouth and cut to the chase.
"Everyone, why did I come to you today, I think everyone already knows it, right?"
Everyone below silently exchanged glances, and finally an undead warrior sitting in the front row said, "We were just guessing before, but now it's basically confirmed!" There's something wrong with the well, right? β
Shaxx nodded unabashedly: "There is no problem with the well, but the water source has been destroyed!" The robbers poured all sorts of toxins, minerals, salts, and other items into the well, and although they were not completely contaminated, they could not be drunk for a short time. β
Really! The adventurers did not have the slightest surprise, they all looked like they were all clear, and they all looked relaxed, without the slightest worry, and even the expressions of surprise were lacking, so they almost gloated, and the roots of Shax's teeth were itching when they saw this scene.
"We don't care about that! The mage's water-making skills can at least allow us to support us to a nearby stronghold, so let's talk about the purpose of coming to us! This was unceremonious, and it was clear that he didn't care about Garkison's safety, and the other adventurer teams also looked like they agreed.
Shaxx was angry on the spot~ Xie Feng heard the prestige and found that the person who spoke was an old acquaintance at the top of the Bright Peak, the Night Elf Female Thief Shadow Blade! With her attitude now, she should have guessed some dirt between Xie Feng and the goblins.
Although he and Shaxx don't have a deep friendship, they can at least be said to be happy to cooperate, and when they saw that the atmosphere in the audience was not right, they hurriedly came out to help:
"Not bad! Asking us to come over shows that you already have a countermeasure, but before that, let's get to the bottom first, how many days can the water storage in Garkison last? The words are unceremonious, but the meaning is to guide the adventurers to overcome the difficulties, rather than to slip away as soon as possible.
Everyone was stunned! Think about it, tooγHow can the shrewdness of the goblins not be like a water crisis? How is it possible that there is no storage of water?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shaxx hurriedly spoke: "The water storage will last at least half a month, which is enough time for us to set up another group of drilling wells in the desert for Garkisen's consumption!" The efficiency of the goblin engineering team is unquestionable! β
When the adventurers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other~ Since the problems have been solved, why are you looking for us? Party? Xie Feng was also puzzled by this. Some impatient people have already made sarcastic remarks on the spot~ "What about you entertain us?" β
At this time, I only heard Shaxx continue: "Listen to me first, there is no doubt that there is no problem with the goblin engineering team, there is no problem with transportation and water storage, the problem is the water source!" How can you find a new source of water in the desert and install a borehole in half a month, that's what I came to you for! β
Everyone was stunned, "What are you kidding?" This question should be left to you Gazison Water! You're the best at that! β
Shaxx stalled his hands: "But the problem is that now the tools used by the Jackson Water Company to find water sources are lost~"
Xie Feng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help blurting out: "Water exploration stick? β
Shaxx was also stunned, he didn't expect Xie Feng to know about the water probe stick, but he still nodded: "It's the water probe stick!" β
"Some time ago, a certain goblin of the water industry company followed an adventure group to explore the treasure, and now there is no news, and the water exploration rod is on him!"
Shadow Blade frowned, "Can't you make one?" In the vast desert, where do you let us go to find it? β
Shaxx: "I can make another one, but it will take at least a month, and it's obviously too late." After a pause, he said: "You don't need to look for it, I can provide the exact location~"
"There?"
Xie Feng rolled his eyes, "Zul Farak!" β
