Chapter 31: The Trap

Loclas wasn't a city, not even a small town, it was just an outpost with no more than twenty permanent populations, and the superlative facilities here were a train station and the magical barrier outside.

But now it's a much more lively place than ever, with the more than 20,000 heavily armed orc warriors camped outside, as well as their mounts and various weapons of warβ€”or in this ancient way, heavy firepower weapons, which have crowded the area between the magic barrier and the wall...

"You're going to war?" On the way, Warren pulled Kakritz over and asked.

Kakritz was a little embarrassed, and Xue Qiong quietly glared at Dr. Warren, meaning that you are not talking nonsense? And don't you think it's a bad question at this time?

Before he made contact with the cavalry, Warren had already secretly carried a few pieces of broken glass or something in his pocket, ready to use them to fool the "natives" who had never seen the world, after all, they were Caucasian in Africa and in the Americas.

But now it seems that although this short green-skinned race is very greedy for money, they obviously can't fool around with a piece of glass, so Warren met Xue Qiong's glaring eyes with a pleading gaze.

Xue Qiong sighed, walked to Kakritz's side, did not squint, and at the same time, in the blind corner of the orc's line of sight, he very covertly stuffed a two-finger-thick gold bar into Kakritz's waist bag with telekinesis.

Kakritz felt the weight change in the bag, subconsciously touched it, and then the expression on his face became wonderful... To Xue Qiong's surprise, he actually struggled for a while before he said in English (the lingua franca of Azeroth) that the surrounding orcs couldn't understand: "Yes, today is the day we are going to attack the Hangmaul Fortress, the capital of ogres. ”

"Hammer Castle? Ogre? Both of them asked rhetorically, although only Dr. Warren really didn't know, Xue Qiong continued to pretend to be stupid.

So Kakritz began to explain how the ogres were: how arrogant, stupid, arrogant, and yet so enviable they were... For example, the magical barrier outside of Loclas would have made them think for years that the orcs were still the kind of backward nomads who could be trampled to death at any time.

"Oh-my," Dr. Warren snorted, "that means there are three different intelligent races on your planet?" ”

"Isn't that weird?" Kakritz also asked in confusion, "There are Raven Man, Tiger Man and Tiger Man in the distance..."

"Kakritz!" The female orc officer who led the way roared, and then counted him down in orc language.

The name, the attitude she shows, these are all regardless of language and ethnicity... So Xue Qiong and Warren still sincerely apologized to Kakritz twice.

The female officer led the group into one of the most spacious wooden buildings in Loclas. In the middle of the hall was a bonfire, and behind the fire, a middle-aged orc, unequipped with full body armor, with strong lumpy muscles almost bursting out, and a messy long argument tied to the head mountain, was lying on the map table and talking to several officers around him.

After seeing the faces of the two humans, the orc crouching in front of the table only asked a few questions in confusion. But beside him, an orc wearing a triangular leather hood angrily ripped off his hat with one hand, revealing his bare head, and at the same time reprimanded him like a cannon that had been ignited.

"He asked us why you let filthy humans trample his carpet and why you didn't wear shackles..."

Xue Qiong cut lightly in her heart. It seems that this is no different from the plot in World of Warcraft, and the former chieftain and time-traveler of the tribe from Azeroth, Garrosh - Hellroar, really has nothing but war, power, and hatred in his head... In contrast, his father, the chief of the Warsong Clan and the number one man of the Iron Tribe, the middle-aged orc who had been on the throne without saying a word, Grom Hellroar, seemed to be higher than him, and he was a young man who really deserved to learn about it.

However, when Xue Qiong thought so, Kakritz's small movements were still discovered in the end, so a room full of orcs angrily pulled out their weapons, including those who led the way before... Only Grom didn't make any extra moves, just smiled contemptuously and flashed the fangs in his mouth.

Fortunately, the old shaman who came all the way squinted his eyes and said a few words, and Xiao Roar (Little Hell Roar) looked at Xue Qiong and Warren, "Did Hei Suo ask you to come over?" ”

He's speaking the lingua franca this time, and in all fairness, it's not as good as the two goblins, but it's really good among the orcs... This made Xue Qiong's impression of him change slightly, at least the words "no learning and no skills" couldn't cover his head.

In the previous storm-like dismount, Dr. Warren didn't dare to take a sip, but Xue Qiong kept his smile that he didn't know if it was true or not, and even lit a cigarette for himself in this place where he didn't know how many floors he was surrounded by strong enemies... I was just the right amount of surprise at the fact that Little Roar could speak the lingua franca.

"Yes, we have reached a preliminary consensus with Mr. Hesso." Xue Qiong's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but then he had to reveal a shameless taste: "But I want to ask you to convey our apologies to your chief..."

"Here's the thing. Because of our coming, perhaps your planet will face an unprecedented crisis... All creatures, not just orcs. ”

There is no need to shout to convey it, Kakritz has already done a simultaneous translation very well. And Xue Qiong's words also succeeded in making all the orcs laugh in unison, and the hall was filled with happy air...

Xue Qiong was still laughing, "Maybe you misunderstood, I'm not threatening, I'm not arrogantly announcing that I want to destroy or occupy your world... I mean, our enemies, the creatures that forced us to land here..."

The orcs were still laughing, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore, because in the corner of the hall, a machine that had been dusty for a long time and had no presence from the beginning suddenly started on its own, and a hologram appeared on it, which was Black Cord sitting in the cockpit of the mech.

They already have this kind of long-distance communication, but the supernatural energy in the air of Draenor is more active, and the electronic signal will be greatly disturbed, coupled with the magic barrier outside Loclas, it must be very powerful to achieve this purpose... After the Industrial Revolution, energy became a real hard currency, and the goblins liked money very much and felt very sorry for it, so Hei Suo chose to send a guide to bring Xue Qiong and them to the interview.

"Please, please!!" Hei Suo's face looked much more nervous than when he was kidnapped by Fu Shuai, "These lowly and cunning monsters, we fell for them!" ”

"Ahh You're there too! Only then did Hei Suo discover Xue Qiong, and said in a lingua franca: "Oh my God! My friend, please hurry up and make it clear to the chief, and ask him to send a large army to save me... Save us!! I can give you 1.2 percent of the shares of Hesso! Listen clearly. That's 1.2 percent! ”

Hei Suo seemed to be even more painful when he said this, and Xue Qiong pretended to be anxious and asked, "But I don't know your current situation?" What the hell is going on?! ”

"These meanness! Shameless! Crazy monsters! I just heard that the ship's engine hasn't been completely damaged, and that thing called deuterium (fusion fuel) is worth a lot of money... It's useful, and when you're outside, there's not so much of this group of monsters, so mad dogs..."

"You're in again?!"

Xue Qiong's tone was very surprised, in fact, this was still expected for him, and it unfolded naturally.

Previously, in order to get Hesso to agree to search and rescue the rest of the survivors, and in order to prevent him from taking the survivors as slaves, he "had to" talk to him about how important the knowledge of these scientists is, how valuable they are, and because of the limitations of their fields, they can only choose to join Hesso, and after they join Hesso, their motivation to work as slaves is not equal to the profits they can bring to him as external technicians... And so forth and so on.

This is indeed the most suitable way to convince a goblin, but Xue Qiong, consciously or unconsciously, avoids talking about the number of aliens, the action patterns of aliens, and the fact that the IQ of aliens has increased a lot after taking humans as hosts, and he deliberately did not mention the disposal of the Auriga.

And when he acted separately, he also used the team communication to leave eight words to Fu Shuai, Poison Island and Da Shao, and asked them to quietly convey it to all the plot characters.

"Save your strength, lower your IQ"...

Sure enough, after standing in front of the spaceship as big as a city, Hesso was unsurprisingly aware of the endless wealth hidden inside... So this mercenary goblin, without hesitating even a second, decided to use the mecha to violently open a sufficiently wide passage on the bulkhead, and led a group of wolf cavalry and a group of "reluctant but helpless" guides to rush in, leaving only half of the cavalry to search for and rescue survivors on the grassland outside.

Hesso is Azeroth and the best merchant and engineer in Draenor, but he is not a good commander after all, so although he knows that there are many valuable things in the ship, and he can dismantle a lot of more valuable technologies, and the guarded orc wolf cavalry is not afraid to fight the alien alone, but he still forgets that the ship is a narrow room, and no matter how fierce the wolf is, no matter how fierce the warriors on it are, they are still cavalry after all...
