Chapter Twenty-Eight: Heard
The leader of the Gnolls, Hogg, had already chosen to agree to the deal of the Whitefishmen after listening to Saige's retelling of the Whitefishmen's words.
In fact, with the heads of the jackals, they couldn't see the benefits and disadvantages of this deal for them, and if the object was not the powerful white fish people, Hogg would definitely refuse without thinking about it.
Territory, or directly attack and occupy it, how can anyone trade the territory.
Hogg agrees to the deal, in which the presence of the tentacle monster plays a role, no one knows.
This trip Saige is to convey information to the goblins for the Whitefishmen, and after getting the goblin's reply, he will go to the sands to find the Whitefishmen to complete the handover of the territory.
In Saige's opinion, it was an easy thing to convince the timid goblins to go to the territory of the white-skinned people, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
In order to curry favor with Lord Whiteskin, there is no room for goblins to refute him, and Seg will find a way to get the goblins to send the most skilled blacksmiths to the Fish-Man Hut.
What's more, the leader Hogg has decided that after taking over the territory of the Whitefish People, the territory in the middle of the jungle will be handed over to Saige to take care of.
Of course, when the time comes, Hogg will come forward together as the leader of the gnolls, and the lord of the other side, and officially meet with the whitefish people to discuss.
This time he set off for the territory of the goblins, and Hogg went with the mentality of playing.
And in the eyes of the goblins, the gnolls have always been their old enemies.
Goblins inhabited this dense forest before the gnolls, and since the gnolls appeared and settled in the north, there have been more than a dozen battles between the two races.
The result of the battle is often that the goblins are killed and wounded and take refuge in complex crypts, and the gnolls with thick skin and thick flesh, strong strength, and immune to most toxins are not easy for goblins to kill.
It wasn't until nearly a dozen years ago, when the two races established a certain degree of exchange, that the fighting gradually subsided.
However, between the exchanges between the two races, the goblin clan is still oppressed by the gnolls from time to time.
For example, gnolls will cross the border from time to time and come to the territory of goblins to hunt not many creatures.
The pure carnivorous gnolls will also use force to coerce those potatoes and the like to exchange them for iron weapons made by the goblins, and as the population increases, the goblins do lack food, and the trade goblins are barely acceptable.
It's just that the jackals are in the spirit of bullying the weak, and the exchange ratio is also under pressure, often working hard to make a mace, which can only be exchanged for dozens of small potatoes.
In fact, there is no shortage of this kind of plant-based food in the territory of the gnolls, and in addition to being used as a weapon, the mace in exchange has become a good thing for the gnolls to vent their exuberant energy, smashing rocks and trees, and wantonly destroying the weapons that the goblins waste a lot of time to craft.
In the eyes of the jackals, as long as the goblins are there, they will never run out of iron tools.
Starting from the valley where the gnolls were, and after a quick march of more than an hour, Saige saw where the goblin hut was.
The goblin hut is surrounded by a fence more than two meters high, and there are two ten-meter-high wooden towers inside the fence, and the goblins on the guard spot the jackals for the first time.
The goblin guards quickly climbed down the detection tower and ran deeper into the crypt.
By the time Seg arrived at the entrance of the fence with ten sturdy gnolls, the goblin patriarch Rhys had already come out with dozens of heavily armed male goblins.
Among them is the goblin captain Ryze who led the team to capture the Whitefish People, and Ryze is standing next to the patriarch Reis, who is the third person in the goblin clan.
Behind the armed goblins, female goblins and goblin children are watching the gnolls through the gaps.
They knew that this sturdy creature with a wolf's head was a terrifying race of pure carnivorous people, the old enemy of goblins.
"Saige, it's not the day of the agreed exchange yet!" Ruiz raised the bow and arrow in his hand, pointed it at the Gnoll Saige, and shouted sharply, he said the pure Gnoll language.
The two ethnic groups have been in contact with each other for many years and have learned some of each other's languages.
"Don't point your little pole at me, or your black head will look like this stone. The jackal picked up a piece of earth and stone beside him, and retracted his five fingers, twisting it to pieces.
Rhyz gritted his teeth with hatred, but Rhys waved his hand beside him, and Rhys took the bow and arrow down.
"Tranquilizer arrows, this thing won't work on us gnolls!" said Seg scoffed, the goblins' old bottom gnolls knew it.
In the face of the vulnerable goblin clan, Saige did not hide his condescending and oppressive mentality.
The ten strong gnolls behind Seg also burst into laughter, and the hideous wolf head and hoarse wolf howl frightened some goblin children into crying.
This made the jackals ridicule the weakness of the goblins.
"Tell me why Hogg asked you to come here, Seg. Rhys said lightly, his breezy expression invisibly weakening the sarcasm from the gnolls.
Rhys is 1.6 meters tall, standing out among goblins, with the narrow eyes of ordinary goblins, a flat nose, long pointed ears, and dark skin, nothing special about his facial features.
However, Rees's mind is not as ordinary as his face.
"Yes, my goblin patriarch. Saige followed the example of the white fish man with his hands on his chest, and he found that this action was quite suitable for the strong, or to play the strong.
After all, Rhys is the patriarch who holds the fate of an entire goblin race, and there are some differences between Seg and other goblin members in Sege's eyes, and Seg gives him the necessary respect.
The goblins didn't have the idea of letting the gnolls get close to the fence, and the place where they used to trade was also far away from the fence, so Seg sorted out his thoughts and began to tell.
"To the north of our domain, a powerful new lord has recently arrived. ”
"His strength is unfathomable, and even we gnolls are no match for him. ”
"He invites you goblins to his sands and forge iron tools for him. ”
As soon as Saige's words fell, Ruiz spoke, "What iron tools are needed, we can trade them directly, let us leave our own territory, this is impossible." ”
Saige smiled, "If you are not afraid of being exterminated, just refuse Lord Whiteskin." ”
There are many tools in the Whitefish Man's brain that need to be described in detail in front of the goblin blacksmith, which is why the goblin is sent to the sand.
As for having the Whitefishmen come to the goblin fence in person, the lone Whitefishmen didn't think about the idea at all.
"Can you describe how powerful the white-skinned adults are in your mouth? Rhys spoke, not blaming Rhyse for interjecting, Rhy's idea was that of most goblins.
Sticking to the crypt and not daring to step out of the territory is also the reason why the goblin clan has not been able to develop stronger so far.
Of course, the surrounding environment is harsh, and the territory is evenly divided and solidified is also a reason.
Rhys is an ambitious goblin who keenly smells the opportunity to break the current environment from Sege's words.
"Absolutely. Seg nodded.
"Lord Whiteskin's body is strong, a few points taller than the Hogg leader. ”
"He had a large fish-headed head, a huge mouth the widest of the head, fist-sized eyes, and a sturdy white armor that was hard to break. ”
His hands and feet were sharp, three-toed claws, and iron tools could easily be cut under his claws. ”
"He is not afraid of toxins, and sand scorpions can be eaten as jerky. ”
"He has more than a dozen barbs on his back, which can shoot dozens of meters away from his body, and then shatter a rock the same size as me!"
