Chapter 37: The Goblin Tribe
Yang Guang thought that these goblins might be bait, and he ordered to summon dragonflies to climb to higher altitude and reconnoiter in a larger area, but he did not see any traces of other goblins, nor did he find anything out of the ordinary. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
By this time, the goblin patrols had already entered the ambush circle, and the archers hiding in a large tree were the first to attack, and the sharp arrows pierced through the goblins' bodies with unmistakable accuracy, and the patrol team quickly fell into chaos.
Bruce and the other greatsword warriors began to surround from all sides, and soon slashed the goblins who tried to escape one by one, Yang Guangqiang held back his inner doubts and cast the first-order spell "Activation Rope", creating a long, life-like rope that firmly bound a goblin.
After the battle, the others cleaned up the battlefield on their own, and Bruce picked up the goblins who had been tied up into rice dumplings and walked with Yang Guang to the shadows of the trees, ready to interrogate the captive to obtain detailed information about the goblin camp.
Yang Guang cast the "Fluent Language" and asked the captives in the language of the goblins: "Where is your camp?" ”
The goblin captive closed its mouth tightly and said nothing, but the fear in its eyes and the involuntary tremor of its body still revealed its inner emotions.
Seeing this, Bruce punched and kicked over, causing the goblin captives to scream, and when Yang Guang asked again, he honestly told the location of the goblin camp and the number of goblins in the camp.
After listening to Yang Guang's relay, Bruce picked up a stone and began to draw a simple map on the fine sand, and if there was anything unclear and incomprehensible, Yang Guang asked the goblin captive again.
As Bruce was drawing the map, Yang Guang asked again, "Where did you get the metal weapons and the simple leather armor in your tribe?" ”
The goblin captive shook his head and said, "Only the strongest warriors in the tribe can become the king's guards, and they are eligible for a sharp knife and a warm and strong skin. ”
"Who is the king?" Yang Guang was keenly aware of this information and asked, "Is it also a goblin?" ”
There was a look of adoration in the eyes of the goblin captive: "The king is the most powerful!" It had killed fifteen warriors in a row who tried to challenge, and the king's sword was the sharpest, cutting off the sticks and knives of the other warriors. ”
Yang Guang continued to ask, but there was no way to know the origin of those weapons and leather armor, it seemed that these things were available overnight, but the good news was that there were not many of these weapons and leather armor, there were only more than 100 sets in total, and the vast majority of goblins still used primitive weapons such as thick branches.
After listening to the goblin captive's answer, Yang Guang's first reaction was the storage pocket. High-grade storage pockets can reduce the weight of the contents by 60% or more, and only a few people can use them to secretly transport equipment to goblins.
These weapons and leather armor are made of ordinary materials and ordinary craftsmanship, and there are no marks or clues on them. However, the inability to find a clue is also an important clue in itself, indicating that its provider must be affiliated with some powerful force.
What is the purpose of this powerful force in funding goblins? Just causing some trouble for other competitors? Or are you coming straight to Waterdeep? Or is there something else going on?
Yang Guang was relatively unfamiliar with the situation in the Faeron Continent, and he couldn't find any clue for a while, so he told Bruce all the information he had gotten and the conjectures in his heart.
Captain Bruce patted his hands with his greatsword and said, "Why do you want to do so much?" We have a map, go directly to the night attack, use fire to cause chaos, and then launch an attack to kill that king, won't it be solved when the time comes? ”
Yang Guang admits that Bruce's idea is a solution that is not a solution, and that force cannot solve all problems, but it can solve most problems. Whatever the purpose of that force, as long as they defeat the goblin tribe they funded, all plots will be ruined.
While the others were resting, Yang Guang still took the trouble to interrogate the goblin captive repeatedly, gathering as many details as he could, and also solving his previous doubts.
Even if these goblins have a strong royal command, they are still a rabble, and it is impossible to expect to turn them all into elites in just a month or two.
In the case of limited resources, selecting the strongest warriors in the clan, holding them in their hands, and giving them the best weapons and armor is the best choice for the king of that goblin tribe.
Yesterday Yang Guang and they annihilated a very powerful leader of this tribe, plus dozens of goblin elites, after more than a day, the fleeing goblins have returned to the camp, and the king also knows the news, it will definitely firmly put the remaining sixty or seventy goblin elites by his side, it is impossible to disperse such a valuable combat force and send them out to patrol, then it will become a logical thing to pick people from the rabble.
For this king, it doesn't need the goblin minions to find any news, they are just bait, and if the goblins fail to return to the camp on time, it is a sign that they are in trouble.
After thinking of this, Yang Guang immediately told Bruce and suggested that the latter plan a night attack in advance, and launch an attack before the goblin clan reacted. If the time is delayed, when the time comes, Yang Guang and his group of 9 people will be thousands of goblins who have been prepared.
The sky gradually became dark, and the wind on the golden wilderness became strong and cold, Yang Guang and the others covered their mouths and noses with their cloaks to shield themselves from the wind and sand, and quickly marched towards the location of the camp that the goblin captives had confessed.
Although Yang Guang memorized the light technique, it was a pity that it could not be used at all in this endless wilderness, but Yang Guang had another way, he summoned the moth to lead the way in front of him, and relying on the vision shared by the "night vision" talent, he could see the ground under his feet more clearly.
By the time the fire of the goblin camp appeared in the distance, it was completely dark to the point that they couldn't see their fingers, and everyone felt tired from walking for several hours, Bruce ordered everyone to rest in place, and Yang Guang took the opportunity to order the moth to approach the camp to observe the situation.
The camp was divided into two floors, and the area inside was made of sturdy wood, and a roaring bonfire was lit between the clearings, and many elite goblins in leather armor roamed back and forth, believing that the king of the goblin tribe was in one of the wooden houses.
The area outside was pitch black, but thanks to the moth's "night vision" talent, hundreds of low, densely packed huts could be seen. The vast majority of the goblins are resting, and only a handful of goblins patrol the edge of the camp with weapons.
