There was a roar in the forest, and these roars had never stopped since half a month ago.

Squeak squeak!

On a dense tree, a few small birds sang loudly, and even the annoying roar could not completely drown out their crisp calls.

Suddenly, the three-meter-tall tree left the ground, startling the birds on it to flee from the tree and fly into the sky.

An incomparably huge excavator used its 2-meter-wide "palm" to dig up the tree by the roots.

Under the huge excavator open the way, countless large machines began to pave the ground, build the roadbed, place the quick-setting cement, drain the ditch..... and a series of processes in one go.

With the passage of time, nearly 20 engineering teams have entered the other world, and each engineering team takes turns on duty, operating various super-large construction machinery, and building day and night.

They were one of the engineering teams responsible for building the road, and in about half a day, the road leading to the town was completed.

At the same time, the base is also expanding frantically, and under the construction of 15 military engineering teams, the detailed division of the area of the tank unit, the fighter unit area, the infantry unit area and so on has risen from the ground.

It has even begun to consider the construction of military factories and smelters, and the Eastern Xia Kingdom intends to turn this base into a super war machine with the integration of combat production.

Intelligence department, the Office of the General Director.

Dolma Santana, the head of intelligence, looked at the A4 paper that was spread all over the table, full of information collected in the past month.

The more Dolma Santana looked at it, the deeper her brows furrowed, and she didn't know why there was a sense of something wrong everywhere in these seemingly reasonable pieces of information.

"Based on interviews with the natives of several nearby towns, all of them believe that goblins are just weak monsters with the strength and intelligence of a five-year-old. This view is obviously wrong, and the goblins have reached the level of a 10-year-old human male in terms of IQ and strength. As a result, information closure can barely be explained. ”

"What's even stranger is that these people who think that goblins are just a kind of weak monster show great fear when they encounter goblins, and they don't even resist. Obviously, an adult with a wooden stick can beat three goblins at a time, and it is not something that goblins can withstand when an adult uses a stick to go down, but there are always some villages of hundreds of people that are wiped out by dozens of goblins. Not to mention that the human beings in this world are generally physically high because of the existence of magic. ”

"What's even weirder is that there are the most humans who die every year because of goblins. But in the past hundred years, the human perception of goblins has not changed in the slightest. Combat information such as goblin types, habits, breeding methods, traps and ambushes has not spread at all, and even people will forget it if they hear it. This is obviously abnormal, with human wisdom, this information will inevitably be disseminated to prevent the goblins from further expanding the harm to their own race, otherwise how can they survive in this multi-racial troubled world? ”

"This phenomenon is not only for humans, but also for other races, even if many people have become goblin breeding machines, they still stubbornly believe that this parasitic bloodsucking worm on other races does not need to be removed!"

"And the ruling class, it's even more outrageous. Several of the lords interviewed felt that the loss of a few villages was not worth sending an army to exterminate the goblins, and sending a few teams of adventurers to send a few waves could always be solved. But they are also an agrarian society based on peasant households, don't they understand how much economic loss can be caused by losing a few villages? Don't they understand how many soldiers a village can feed in a year? ”

"And hiring adventurers for much less money than using armies, these lords are really mathematically geeks. Isn't the bread and linen that these adventurers have eaten since childhood money? Even if the money is not your lord's, adventurers are also high-quality soldiers, as long as they are conscripted into the army and exercise their sense of teamwork, they can raise an army in a short time. ”

Dolma Santana leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes, "The aborigines of this world are simply like they have been blocked by something, or their ideas are like they have been forcibly added. ”

"Wait.... forcibly added..."This sentence reminded Dolma Santana of a sentence in the information given by His Majesty.

[A long, long time ago, when there was even less starlight than it is now. The gods of light, order, and fate play a game with the gods of darkness, chaos, and chance. They roll the dice to decide who is the ruler of the world. 】

[The gods kept throwing the dice and kept throwing until it was dark. 】

Thinking of this, Dolma Santana suddenly stood up from her chair and muttered, "Impose thoughts.... Gods ..... Roll the dice...... Goblins..... Goblin Consciousness God. ”

"Hehehe, I seem to have found something interesting."

"The best way to verify the correctness of a guess is to prove it in practice."

......

In the No. 3 cafeteria, many soldiers finished their morning exercises and began to enjoy their breakfast here.

"Oak Bolger, what were you doing just now?" Sylvia put down her chopsticks and looked at the Goblin Slayer who had just returned.

"Go pick up a mission and a letter." The Goblin Slayer replied, then said to everyone who was eating, "I have a mission in the afternoon, go to the Water City and clean up the goblins that are in the underground ruins there." ”

"I've been to the water capital before, because the waterways are very developed, so it's a city with a lot of goods and ingredients!" Sylvia said.

"Oh?" Dwarf Iron Wine put down the chicken leg in his hand, looked at Sylvia, and asked, "Really, long ears?" The ingredients are very abundant. ”

"Of course," Sylvia nodded, "because the waterways connect cities in all directions, so you can see a lot of ingredients that are not available in other places. ”

"That's great! When the time comes, I'm going to have a big meal, and it just so happens that my salary was paid yesterday, so I'll exchange the Xia Yuan in my personal account for silver coins. "The Dwarven Iron Wine is also very up-to-date and uses mobile payment, although you can only buy some daily necessities and drinks on the base side.

"Indeed, Your Excellency Dwarf is right, wait a minute, the poor monk will go with you." Lizardman Green put a large piece of chocolate into his mouth and sighed, "Because of the base food and shelter, the poor monk almost forgot that he asked for money to eat." ”

While everyone was happily discussing what to eat, Berna, who had been sitting in the corner silently, spoke: "Don't be too happy, we are on a mission, not to play." So there's no time for you to go out to eat, drink, and be merry. ”

When Bernard said this, Green, Iron Wine, and Sylvia instantly flattened, feeling that there was no hope in life.

"I'm still looking forward to it."

"Well, it seems that the food there has nothing to do with me."

"It seems that the poor monk's salary can only be used to buy chocolate."

Seeing the three of them like this, Qili couldn't help but comfort, "You don't have to be so frustrated, if you really want to play, you can use one day off every month to go." I heard that the road will be paved soon, and you can rent a car to go out. Of course, if you are traveling by car, you should let Miss Berna drive, you absolutely can't! ”

When it came to driving, Qili thought of the entire armored car training ground three days ago, and they almost turned it upside down. The instructors changed one after another, and finally Berna learned.

"Oak Berg, who sent this letter?" Sylvia noticed the letter on the table.

"She sent it." Goblin Slayer replied.

"She? Who is she? ”

"Hahaha, the one with the long ears is the red-haired girl who lives with Kamijimaru." Dwarven Iron Wine gives the answer.

"Oh! Is that the big, big one there? Sylvia made an outstretched gesture in her own murderous part (not a typo).

At this time, a soldier in the uniform of the Ministry of Intelligence came to their table and said, "Team 001, the Minister has invited you to come to the Ministry of Intelligence. ”

"Huh?" Hearing the soldier's words, everyone was stunned.

Ten minutes later, the crowd was led by the intelligence department to the door of the intelligence minister's office, and the soldier reached out and knocked on the door.

Knock knock!

"Report, someone has brought it."

A male voice came from inside: "Let them in." ”

The intelligence officer opened the door and led the group inside.

There were already three people sitting inside, one Dolma Santana sitting at the desk, and two men sitting on the sofa.

The two men were dressed in the uniforms of the Adventurer's Guild staff, and seeing what they were wearing, Sylvia spoke, "Guild people? ”

"Goblin Slayer Squad?" The two guild members turned their heads and recognized them at once. A squad of silver medal adventurers, who themselves still remember. Not to mention that the Goblin Slayer Squad later joined the Eastern Xia Kingdom, which made them famous in nearby towns.

"Senior soldier Qili, you go to the prime minister's office to find out the information statistics of all ethnic groups." Dolma Santana commanded.

"Yes!" Kiri saluted, turned and walked out the door.

After seeing Qili go out, Dolma Santana said: "Because Qili is a senior soldier of the Mother Earth God, I will branch her up first, and it is always right to be cautious." ”

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the five people, Zhuoma Santana didn't explain, and pointed to the sofa with a slight smile, "You guys can do it." ”

"Yes!" The Goblin Slayer Five gave a military salute and sat down on the couch with inner doubts.

Over time, the Goblin Slayer crowd has become accustomed to being soldiers, learned to enforce prohibitions, and is no longer as casual as before.

"Each of you looks at this piece of paper." Dolma Santana asked the intelligence department to give each person an A4 piece of paper.

Everyone is very strange, why do they ask to look at a piece of paper? But he still honestly took the paper and looked at the contents.

This piece of paper is a piece of information, an overview of the goblin race. There are also the casualties and property damage he inflicts on various places every year.

There is a bold text at the end.

[Why can goblins, monsters that rely on other races to reproduce, survive and have not been wiped out?] Why do goblins obviously cause so much harm to various races, and the whole world still thinks that just goblins are not to be feared. 】

[The gods manipulate the minds of all beings, and this world is just a game of the gods. 】

"I didn't expect goblins to be so harmful." A guild member sighed.

"That's right." A guild member agreed.

The two of them didn't seem to see the last text, but they just lamented the dangers of goblins, and then they didn't feel strange about this phenomenon.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Zhuoma Santana smiled slightly: "Both, you can go." ”

"Oh, then Lord Dolma Santana, goodbye."

The two of them are in charge of the guild to trade magic knowledge today, but they were pulled over by him halfway to do some experiments, and now it's time to go back to the guild to resume their lives.

After the two of them went out, Dolma Santana shifted her gaze to Team 001.

At this time, only the Goblin Slayer's face was relatively calm, and the other four buried their heads deep in their chests, making it impossible to see their expressions. And Grimm, the only lizardman who can make people see his expression, now has a hideous face.

Their shoulders began to tremble slightly, and their hands clenched the paper tightly, and the paper was crumpled by overexertion.

They felt as if they were trembling in the depths of their brains right now, and something was about to shatter!

Click, click!

The soul is constantly struggling! Roaring! The sound of the brain shattering is getting louder and louder!

Click..... Boom!

With a loud bang, they felt as if their souls were freed, very relaxed. Then he looked sluggish, and the whole person became very tired.

After seeing the five of them regain their composure, Dolma Santana's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said, "Sure enough, my guess is not wrong. As for why you are the only ones who have broken free from the shackles of thought, it remains to be examined. ”

Then I saw that although Goblin Slayer was a little shocked, the overall situation was normal. Unlike the other four, there was a noticeable malaise in spirit.

"Aren't you God-controlled people?"
