Chapter 157: Peace... Or war?
"I'm finally back on the ground. Feeling the dazzling sunlight that hit his eyeballs, the black wolf narrowed his eyes and sighed.
Just half an hour ago, the black wolf led 500 goblins to trek for nearly 5 hours, and finally found the cave indicated on the map, she did not forget the white wolf's instructions to her, and first sent a goblin team to explore the way, instead of recklessly going up directly in front of the large army, she lost the strength she was proud of, and at this time she must pay extra attention to her own safety.
According to the team's report, the surface is very safe, the black wolf led the troops to the surface, a total of 500 goblins, but this passage is quite narrow, which caused the entire team to reach the surface It took a lot of time, the black wolf understood that if you want to use this tunnel to transport supplies and troops in the future, you must widen the passage, she plans to wait until her investigation is over, and then tell the white wolf the news.
It was daytime, the sky was clear, and the blazing sunlight made the black wolf who walked out of the cave unable to open his eyes, making the black wolf have the illusion that he had escaped from the seal again, this feeling as if the whole body had been liberated, she had only experienced it when the black wolf rescued her from the seal of the stone mountain last time.
The air underground is damp and stuffy, and the air on the ground is fresher I don't know how many times, the fresh air makes the black wolf feel comfortable and at the same time his brain turns faster, she knows that now is not the time to enjoy the sun and breeze, she still has a task to do, and she must complete this task well.
Only a handful of goblins in the investigation team have ever been to the surface, and they have lived in the dark underground world all their lives, and they feel a shock and a trace of panic at the same time as such a bright world, but this panic is not long dispelled by the black wolf's command.
"Team 1! for building the base, Team 2 for the investigation in the east, Team 3 for the west" The black wolf's command came to the goblins' ears with the breeze, and the white wolf taught her the art of wind talk, so she didn't need to open her mouth now, she only needed to pass through the flow of the wind element, and she was able to convey what she had to say to others.
The goblins are not afraid at all, after all, this black wolf is their boss, and the fact that she single-handedly repelled the giant ant scourge has been widely circulated in the army, and there are various versions, all in all, she has become a god-like existence in the goblin's mind, and as a god, she should naturally have some special functions.
And it's not the first time that the black wolf has used wind language to communicate with these goblins, and they are already used to this special ability of the black wolf.
"Remember what I said before, every kilometer of exploration, you have to leave a ten-person team in charge of surveillance, this ten-person team has to send two people back to report the situation to me, when you are in danger, or the number of the squadron is only 30 people, stop the investigation activities, immediately gather the troops, and return to the base, do you understand?"
"Understood!" replied the squadron leaders in charge of the commanding force crisply, their voices not loud because of the secret investigation that was underway.
These squadron leaders are all clerics brought out by the white wolf, and their literacy is much stronger than that of ordinary goblins, and the black wolf is still relieved to hand over the troops to them.
"There are three iconic areas, namely the destroyed human village that White Wolf mentioned earlier, the destroyed fox village, and the destroyed goblin cave, as long as I can find one of them, I can determine the general location of this place. The black wolf compared the map of the underworld to confirm that the collapsed goblin cavern was probably northwest of her.
Although she knew the general direction, she couldn't search directly in that direction, because they were sent back underground by humans before, although it had been more than a year, but there was still no guarantee that the human army had completely withdrawn.
The sun moved slowly in a straight line in the sky, the breeze continued to blow the leaves around them, the rustling sound, the clatter of the felled trees and the clatter of the trees when they fell, and the more than 400 people who went to explore were submerged in the dense forest, as if they had been swallowed, if it were not for the first and second batch of goblins in charge of reporting had already rushed back, the black wolf would have thought they were in danger.
At present, no anomalous phenomena have been found, the only discovery is probably that there is a huge lake in the southwest, the black wolf opened the map and compared, and found that this lake corresponded to the dense place of the underground water network, and quickly picked up another blank animal skin, and marked the lake on it with black charcoal.
"How do I feel that this surface is full of ruins, whether it is a fox, a goblin, or a human, it seems that it has been destroyed, and it seems that the underground world is more peaceful than the surface?" How did she feel that the surface was actually worse than the situation in the underworld?
"This is probably because with the protection of the god of runes, the war in the underground world has never stopped, everyone kills each other, until the god of runes suddenly appears in the underground world, the war subsides, he brings us precious peace, which is why I believe in him. The Goblin Adjutant replied, he was a nobleman of the Kingdom of Tezan and had now become a priest of the Rune Sect.
"Oh? It's strange that you would believe in him for such a reason? I would like to ask how many goblins you know who have chosen to believe in the god of runes for this reason?" the black wolf asked in surprise, she didn't expect that she would get a more unreasonable answer for asking such a question, would the goblins also pursue peace?
"Your Highness the God of War, our goblins are not emotionless stones, my whole family died in the war with the kingdom of Rezan, so I naturally hate war, as far as I know, at least half of the goblins choose to believe in the god of runes because of the arrival of peace. Listening to the black wolf's questioning, the goblin deputy was unexpectedly a little angry.
"I took the liberty of it, and I apologize to you. The black wolf sighed, she finally understood why the white wolf always said "practice makes true knowledge", not to see and hear it with her own eyes, she really couldn't believe that the barbaric and ferocious goblins in the eyes of ordinary people would also pursue peace.
"But what he and I will bring you is war, and a war on a larger scale," the black wolf couldn't help but glance at the adjutant, and finally didn't say it.
