Chapter Seventy-Three: The Invisible Enemy
At noon the next day, Mr. Sun Licheng's skillful hand that he had been thinking about day and night finally arrived.
Because of the urgency of time, Mr. Skillful left the large army first, while Little Cabbage and the other goblins were escorted by Dog Meat, pushing the baggage behind and slowly marching, and it was estimated that it would take a few days to get here.
Originally, Sun Licheng wanted to leave the little cabbage and them at the forward base, but when he thought of the pitiful combat power of the goblins, he gave up.
Now Sun Licheng's subordinates are still too few, and they have no strength to guard many places, so they can only reluctantly close the forward base, and all the personnel move to the new station of the tribe.
Thinking of this, Sun Licheng felt that the need to increase his own armed forces was more urgent.
After some reconnaissance by Mr. Qiaoshou, no spies were found around the valley to spy on him, so Sun Licheng called all the slaves over.
Seeing such a big iron guy, the slaves were in a commotion as they had imagined, but they were quickly suppressed by the wolf king's two roars.
Sun Licheng didn't talk nonsense, drew a six-pointed star on the ground, and then installed the charging magic crystal brought by Mr. Skillful, and sang "Two Tigers", the light and mist flashed, and the problem of everyone's communication was solved.
According to the procedure, all slaves were required to declare their loyalty to Sun Licheng in the name of the god of oaths, and under the threat of force, the slaves obeyed Sun Licheng's orders.
"Wait a minute, is Stone your name? I mean your real name. ”
After the goblin slave finished taking the oath, in his puzzled gaze, Sun Licheng walked over and asked.
Hearing Sun Licheng say this, the goblin's face showed an expression of humiliation, but soon, he suppressed his anger in his heart and said politely: "Yes master, my name is Stone." I can swear by the name of the God of Oaths, and Stone is my real name. ”
"Well, then you swear now in the name of the God of Oaths. ”
Sun Licheng said expressionlessly.
The goblin slave didn't expect Sun Licheng to be forced so tightly, but when he looked at Sun Licheng's hand holding the handle of the knife, he could only nod helplessly, and made an oath according to Sun Licheng's request.
Seeing the sad look of the goblin slave, Sun Licheng was very calm in his heart.
Now I am not only weak, but also has a lot of secrets, but I can't withstand any wind and waves, so I can only be more careful. Although the gang of people in front of them is sparsely combative, if it is someone else's spies, it is quite dangerous and has to be guarded against.
Seeing that all the slaves had finished their vows, Sun Licheng made a rich lunch to treat everyone, and immediately mobilized everyone's emotions, and once again expressed their allegiance to the tribe.
After lunch, Sun Licheng asked the wolf king to help the slaves defend the camp, and he and Mr. Skillful entered the valley.
Although it was already afternoon, the sun seemed to be unable to penetrate the clouds on the valley, and the whole valley still seemed relatively dim, and a gust of wind blew, and the tops of the dead trees made a sharp whistle, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Sun Licheng tugged on the fur clothes on his body, then stomped his feet, cheered up, and led Mr. Skillful into the camp in the valley.
There were many corpses of goblins on the road of the camp, and looking at the various daily necessities scattered, one can imagine how panicked the tribe was when they evacuated.
The doors of many houses were open, and from the outside they looked like the huge mouths of monsters, Sun Licheng carefully pulled out the long knife behind his back, waved his hand to Mr. Qiaoshou, and the latter quickly flew into a wooden house.
Soon, Mr. Skillful flew out with a few things and threw them at Sun Licheng's feet, and then flew to the next wooden house.
In this way, after a while, Sun Licheng's front was full of all kinds of weapons and equipment and things that looked valuable.
"It seems that as Adolf said, this tribe is still relatively rich. ”
Sun Licheng rummaged through several metal weapons, among which there was a well-made iron knife, and he couldn't help but sigh.
You know, in the Moon Alliance, the purchasing power of metal weapons is very strong, and I didn't expect to find several here.
Sun Licheng looked at the scale of the camp, and then estimated according to the weapons and equipment under his feet, he felt that the number of people in this tribe was at least more than two thousand, and the strength definitely exceeded that of the Moon God tribe. But such a powerful tribe was beaten and fled in a short period of time, which shows the horror of the enemy.
"But how come I didn't find any enemies?"
Sun Licheng looked around, a little strange.
"Report to the Boss, I found some danger lurking in the shadows. ”
Mr. Skillful flew to Sun Licheng's side and whispered.
Sun Licheng's heart was shocked, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked, "What enemy? Where are they? Why can't I feel it?"
Mr. Skillful pointed to the top of a house with a tentacle and said, "The enemy is on the roof of the house, a mass of energy, hostile to us." I can't see them, but the energy sensor can sense them. ”
Mr. Qiaoshou's words made Sun Licheng's hair stand on end, and he remembered that this world is a magical world, and gods and ghosts are real.
However, he quickly settled down and asked, "What is your energy sensor, and what is energy?"
After Mr. Qiaoshou's explanation, Sun Licheng figured out that there was a device inside the body of each mechanical puppet, which could feel the external life force, that is, the energy of life. There are many creatures without appearance in this world, especially many undead who have no body at all, and if they only rely on their eyes, it is estimated that they will lose their lives as soon as they go to the battlefield.
But Sun Licheng has some regrets that the energy sensor in the skillful body can only vaguely feel the external material energy, but the amount of energy and the distance are unknown.
After listening to this, Sun Licheng touched his head with his hand, and said in his heart: "This is a primitive early warning radar." It would be better if it were a little more precise. ”
After knowing that the enemy was an invisible energy body, Sun Licheng was nervous for a while, but after a long time, he didn't feel those energy bodies attacking them, so he calmed down and continued to walk forward with Mr. Skillful Hand.
Because of Mr. Skillful's warning, Sun Licheng did not let Mr. Skillful rush into the house to rummage through the cabinets, but walked through the camp like a good baby.
According to Mr. Skillful's report, the further they went, the more energy clusters they had, and finally they saw the entrance to the cave of the mercury mine.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, Sun Licheng saw that the entrance of the mine cave was very intact, only some wooden pillars were broken due to insect bite corrosion, which made the entrance a little messy. There were also several goblin corpses at the entrance to the mine, and strangely enough, two of them turned into white bones and scattered all over the ground.
Sun Licheng was a little puzzled, according to the guide, this tribe was only forced to migrate a year ago, how could the corpse be so seriously decomposed in such a short period of time?
What surprised him even more was that next to the bones, there was a round shield. Sun Licheng picked it up and looked at it, and found that the style of the shield did not look like a goblin, and there was a black skull head painted on it, which looked very terrifying.
"Where did all this stuff come from?"
Sun Licheng was deeply puzzled, and a strong uneasiness swelled in his heart.
