Chapter 20: Ancient Empires
The Goblin Empire is a special existence in this plane, more than 10,000 years ago.
According to the knowledge granted by the magma god, the goblins did not know where to obtain an extremely powerful inheritance, and it only took a few hundred years to develop a powerful civilization from a scattered tribal alliance.
Although these goblins are small, they rely on their powerful technology to create unparalleled machinery and weapons, and even create an extremely large number of steel golem troops. At its peak, the Goblin Empire ruled almost the entire plane, and all other races could only submit.
Originally known as Rosso, this place was the capital of the Goblin Empire. It is home to the Goblin Empire's most powerful fortress, the largest Sky Air Base, the largest Academy, and the most powerful research institute. Even, somewhere here, there is a secret weapon that can compete with the gods.
The development of the Goblin Empire has made the gods of the God Realm vigilant, and the goblins themselves have the delusion of surpassing the gods. Finally, the contradictions developed to an irreconcilable stage, and war broke out.
It was a war that nearly destroyed the entire plane. Countless races and even gods disappeared in this war, and the Goblin Empire was completely uprooted from this plane. Rosso, the capital of the Goblin Empire, endured the most severe blows from the gods.
However, since the goblins can already compete with the gods, they also have their own trump card.
First of all, many of the Goblin Empire's buildings are buried deep underground, and they are so strong that even the gods can't destroy them even if they cast forbidden spells. Secondly, it is not known what methods the goblins use, and no matter how the gods and other races exterminate the goblins, the goblins will always pop up in various places.
To solve the above two problems, unless the entire plane is completely destroyed, this is not the result that the gods want, there are too many entanglements of interests here.
As a result, the gods of the divine realm turned the capital of the Goblin Empire into the harshest place in the plane, and named this place the Land of God's Forsaken. Secondly, the gods threw a large number of extremely ferocious demonic beasts and beasts into this place, completely blocking the possible civilization recovery of the goblins. Eventually, the gods declared the remaining goblins to be the lowest creatures, and destroyed their civilization through various means, leaving them in a state of ignorance forever.
The Godforsaken may contain the remnants of the Goblin Empire's interference devices, and the gods' magic here is severely limited. Therefore, this is also the best place of refuge and imprisonment for the gods who fell because of the war in the divine realm. For countless years, countless gods have relied on this place to return to the divine realm.
"It's really love and kill each other for tens of thousands of years, an indescribable love-hate entanglement. After reading the history of the Goblin Empire, Sun Licheng couldn't help but sigh. Especially in the memory of the magma god, the battle scene of the powerful legions of the goblin empire on land, sea, and air made Sun Licheng, who came from the earth in the 21st century, couldn't help but widen his mouth.
The weapons of the Goblin Empire are naturally excellent. Although it is not as good as an artifact, its destructive power and sturdiness far exceed that of ordinary weapons. The two scimitars in Medusa's hands are supposed to be the standard weapons of the goblin steel puppet.
Sun Licheng, who was full of hope, searched for a long time, and finally found only a small half of the scimitar. Fortunately, what was left was a small half of the bottom, and more than half of the blade in front of it was missing. Seeing this result, Sun Licheng had a new understanding of the scorpion-tailed lion's combat effectiveness.
Sun Licheng helplessly took this half of the scimitar, and thought: "Fortunately, the goblin is short, and this half of the scimitar can still be used as a horizontal knife." If it's an ogre, this half of it can be used as a toothpick. ”
No matter how much Sun Licheng resented this half-cut scimitar, he still used it as his important weapon in the end. The craftsmanship of the Goblin Empire is indeed very sophisticated, and the unknown yellow metal knife is extremely sharp, wielding it with full destructive power.
According to the magma gods, the cave they were in was originally part of the Goblin Empire's core fortress, which was later burned down during the war. However, the core fortress of the Goblin Empire is too strong to defend itself, and the divine power of the gods here is severely limited, making it impossible to attack many places. As a result, the gods sent all kinds of fierce beasts and magical beasts to roam the cave, and also set up traps to capture animals from the ground from time to time and throw them into it to prevent the goblins in the fortress from escaping.
The narrative in the knowledge of the magma god is brief, but in reality it is much more brutal.
The scope of the cave was beyond Sun Licheng's imagination, and the cave was full of dangers. All sorts of monsters and behemoths chase, fight, and forage here. The entire cavern was a completely bloody killing field. Many places are far away, and Sun Licheng can feel those extremely terrifying existences. Sun Licheng saw that some beasts had strayed into it and were torn apart by those monsters, so he temporarily extinguished the idea of going inside to find out. He kept these places in his heart, thinking that one day he would have to explore the tunnel completely.
After the water burial of Medusa, Sun Licheng lived here for a long time, he carefully avoided all kinds of beasts, the leather pocket with crystals in his hand was filled with all kinds of crystals, and he also found a lot of bones suitable for weapons, including bone knives, bone spears and teeth, and even he collected a few tendons and a few pieces of fur of large animals.
............
I don't know how many years have passed in the cave. Sun Licheng was carefully groping his way through the cave, and suddenly, he noticed a ray of light shining into the cave from the stone wall in the upper half of the right front. He was shocked and hurried over to investigate. Standing in the light, he felt a cold air blowing in through the cracks.
Since the cold wind can blow in, it means that the stone walls here are very thin. Sun Licheng began to look for something to put under his feet. There weren't too many stones to be found in the cave, so Sun Licheng simply pulled over some animal carcasses and put them underneath. Finally, he touched the gap where the sunlight was shining through.
He squinted his eyes and tried to peek out through the gap, and he could faintly see a glimmer of the sky. He took out his bone knife and began to dig along the crevices of the rock wall. Sun Licheng now has a lot of strength, and the bone knife made of the bones of an unknown beast is even harder than metal, and the stone wall was quickly dug up by him little by little.
This rock wall is about two meters thick, and after about ten minutes, Sun Licheng felt the front end of the bone knife suddenly empty, and then the stone wall collapsed outward, and then the sound of a huge water rushing to the ground came from outside.
Sun Licheng pushed the rock in front of him out of the hole and poked his head out of it.
It was the side of a waterfall that fell from a height of more than ten meters, making a loud noise, and then submerged back into the ground.
"There is a good chance that this waterfall is a source of water for an underground river. Sun Licheng guessed.
Sun Licheng, who returned to the ground, found himself in a strange place. He had been in the pit for a long time, and he had no concept of time and distance, and it was unclear how far it was from his old camp. However, he was not worried, as long as he found the big river, he could return to the camp.
Embark on the road to find Dragon Ball?
"The world is so dangerous, I just want to go out and see it, but also to prevent being eaten by monsters. Let's move the bricks first. Sun Licheng, who had lost the protection of the poison in his whole body, shook his head, and had no choice but to continue farming.
Maybe the magma god added a little value to Sun Licheng's lucky attribute, and he found that the location of this exit he found was quite good.
It is a small valley surrounded by two small but very steep hills, and the valley is lush with trees and plants. Sun Licheng investigated, but found no beasts in the valley. The exit of the valley is at the confluence of two hills, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you build a stone wall on top of the valley mouth, you can do it as a master, and you can't open it.
In addition to the lush woods, the waterfall in the valley also provides an abundant source of water for Sun Licheng. As a modern person, Sun Licheng has long been angry that he can't use machinery. Although there is no electricity, no steam engine, or even the goblin machinery in the memory of the magma god, as long as there are abundant water resources, Sun Licheng firmly believes that he will be able to make a simple machine, greatly improve production efficiency, and thus move towards the road of calling the dragon as soon as possible.
What surprised Sun Licheng even more was that in the valley near the waterfall, Sun Licheng found a large cave. From the outside, the cave looks like a giant bear's lair. When Sun Licheng found it, he was really shocked. He hid in the distance and watched for a long time, but he did not see a beast jumping out of the cave, and then he walked in cautiously.
This is a cave of more than 20 or nearly 30 square meters, which should have been inhabited by some fierce beasts in the past, but now it is empty except for the animal bones in one place.
This cave is right on the waterfall and the location is very good. Not only does it avoid the northwest, where the cold winds are strongest, but because of the high terrain, it offers a panoramic view of the valley.
Sun Licheng decided to make his home here for the time being.
Sun Licheng cleaned the inside and out with a large broom made of tree branches, and leveled the floor inside the cave with gravel and earth. Then he went into the valley and cut down the trees.
It is said that the broken knife that Sun Licheng picked up was really very sharp, and he used it to cut down trees, and when he went down, he cut out a deep gap, and the only disadvantage was that it was not so easy to cut trees with a horizontal knife. In order to show his love for this weapon, Sun Licheng named him the Golden Back Chopping Knife, or Chopping Knife or Chopper, a very vulgar name.
With the blessing of the mountain chopper, Sun Licheng erected a fence outside the cave, and the sharpened wood pointed obliquely to the sky, which looked very intimidating.
Sun Licheng made a gate at the entrance of the cave, the wood is very thick, which can play a good role in protecting ordinary beasts.
To make the most of the interior space, Sun Licheng used a row of wooden fences to divide the cave into two sections, with bedrooms inside and dining rooms outside, and guest storage rooms.
Sun Licheng got two weapons this time, in addition to a mountain chopping knife, there was also a bone dagger. Sun Licheng named it Broken Jade.
Although the broken jade is made of bone, it is very sharp, and there is no resistance when cutting the wood. Relying on this dagger, Sun Licheng made a large bed from the traditional mortise and tenon structure. Oh, of course, the so-called traditional mortise and tenon structure was actually made by Sun Licheng himself, and the craftsmanship was very rough, but fortunately, it was strong.
After cleaning up his cave, Sun Licheng made a few simple pieces of pottery by the way. This time the pottery was very successful, because Sun Licheng had the power of flames.
