Chapter 184: Investigation and Results

Faced with an unknown threat, the Emirate reacted quickly, and two days after discovering the anomalous goblin trail, five reconnaissance teams were sent out to explore the unknown territory of the north to find out what was going on there.

Each scout team is led by a priest and consists of ten people, including four priests, each of whom carries an automatic mining machine to make it easier to clear the way in case of obstacles or to defend themselves in the face of danger, and there are special personnel responsible for carrying dry rations, which are enough for the whole team to eat for a week.

The team had only been on for three days when they received shocking news from the reconnaissance counter that after opening the road, a team had found a large number of goblin bones behind the road, and according to the report, it was obvious that something terrible had happened to these goblins.

Some of the goblin bones were piled up on top of each other to form a mountain of corpses, while some of the goblin bones were lying on the ground in their entirety, but some of the bones were broken or broken.

According to the results of the investigation at the scene, the white wolf in the base camp can probably judge what happened there, those scattered bones were obviously decomposed and then stacked, so why decompose, there is a high probability that it is for convenience to eat, there is a high probability that there was an incident of goblins eating goblins here before, some goblins were eaten as food, and the goblins who survived by eating the corpses of their own clan fought at the end, and those relatively intact corpses were left by them.

The team's report further confirmed the white wolf's suspicions, that the places where the bones were sleeping were closed on all sides, and that there were no other roads leading to the outside world except for the passage that the team had just made, only a small dirt slope buried by rubble.

In other words, there is only one exit in this area, and the white wolf's reconnaissance team has just made the only exit, and these goblins belong to the gang of guys who have blocked all their roads to the outside world in order to avoid the war, but it is obvious that they don't have enough food with them, and after the food is exhausted, they can only use their own clan to make food, and the final result is this, the last remaining part of the goblins all died in an internal fight.

After an exhaustive search of the area and making sure that nothing was missing, the scout team moved on, these corpses were remnants of the previous generation, and could only be regarded as a small episode in the exploration, and the highest goal of the scout team was to find the living goblins.

The reconnaissance team used the automatic mining machine to blast away the fine pieces of earth and rock, and the original tunnel appeared in front of them, and the reconnaissance team could move on.

But the exploration after this did not go well, the scouts worked hard, they tried their best to advance to the north, but they could not find any living creatures, this place was lifeless, except for white bones and bones, even the underground moss seemed to disdain to grow in this place, only sparsely attached to the inner wall of the cave, emitting a dim pale light.

With enough food to eat for two days, all the scouting teams decided to return, but even so, one team had gone too far and got lost in the labyrinthine tunnels, and by the time they came out of the labyrinth and finally returned to the Emirate's outpost, they had been hungry for a day and a night.

"It's good to be back. The white wolf closed the report. Although the investigation team was unable to find any clues related to the anomalous goblin trail, the fact that the investigation team was able to return without any mistakes and uncover the unknown world is a success in itself.

He asked all the expedition members to go back to rest first, the underground world is full of dangers, and the less such adventures in the future, the better, but this time he found an anomaly that may pose a threat to the territory, so he approved this exploration.

"Call the black wolf. The white wolf said to his goblin guard.

It didn't take long for the black wolf to rush over, to be honest, this kind of thing called by someone made her a little unhappy, but she also knew that although her relationship with the white wolf was close, it was still a relationship between superiors and subordinates in the system of the emirate, and it was a matter of course for her to rush over at this time.

The white wolf sat in the office and worked, and the black wolf saw that there were a lot of paperwork on his desk, and at this time he could understand why he called her over, the white wolf had so much work to do, and he really couldn't leave for a while.

The black wolf does not have so many paperwork to deal with, she only needs to carry out the orders of the white wolf, and often go to the army to inspect and supervise whether the work of the priests is in place, which does not mean that she is a corpse vegetarian person, on the contrary, she is quite serious when dealing with military affairs, just because she is not good at paperwork, so she can only hand over a considerable part of the work to the white wolf.

There is a small cushion opposite the white wolf's table, the size of the cushion is very appropriate, the black wolf is just able to lie on it, it feels very comfortable to sit on it, the outer layer of the cushion is wrapped in animal skin, and the inside is dried and broken fluorescent moss, it feels soft and soft when sitting up, and the black wolf can't help but twist his waist comfortably.

"Five expeditions, after a week of deep exploration, but found nothing, does this mean that we were wrong in the first place? That trace was not left by the goblin, otherwise we should have been able to find something. When the white wolf saw the black wolf coming, he went straight to the point, he didn't intend to waste time.

"I checked it out later, and it did smell like a goblin on that trail, and it came from the north and left north. The black wolf replied without hesitation.

"Does that mean we can only take precautions?" asked the white wolf, he couldn't let the black wolf follow the smell to track, although it was convenient to do so, there was a high probability that he could find the target, but the black wolf was not strong now, and there were many military affairs that she needed to deal with, such as letting more priests be incorporated into the army, and letting the elderly soldiers retire, these things needed to be carried out by her, and these things had been delayed because of the task of opening up outposts on the ground, and now they couldn't be delayed any longer.

He's the same himself, if he leaves the picks because of such a thing, Momiji will definitely be mad with him at that time.

"It seems that we can only be reactive. The black wolf nodded.

"In this case, we must pay attention to precautions in the near future, maybe we can deliberately leak flaws, tempt those guys lurking in the dark, since those people have discovered our existence, it is absolutely impossible to come and leave at once, if they have any ideas, they will definitely come a second time, or even a third time, we might as well wait for the rabbit to try. The white wolf analyzed.

"I understand and agree with the previous words, but what does it mean to wait for the pigs and the rabbits?" the black wolf thought for a moment, and then asked puzzledly.

"Ah, this is an idiom, I'll explain it to you" The white wolf scratched his head helplessly and began to tell the story to the black wolf.
