Chapter 201: Annexation
"Mage Merlin, I'm very sorry, the Varu Empire we are in is an extremely poor country on this continent, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to scrape together the magic materials needed to build a magic tower for a while. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Leo was very embarrassed to refuse Master Merlin's request.
Hearing Leo's refusal, Master Merlin's snow-white eyebrows trembled and explained, "Young Master Leo, I think you have misunderstood, I just need a quiet place where I can meditate and do my magic research with peace of mind, and I don't need too many magical resources. You know, the magic I learned is different from the magicians on this continent, relying more on my own abilities than on any magical resources. So you just need to have enough people to help me build a tower. ”
"Hah?!" Listening to Mage Merlin's explanation, Leo opened his mouth in surprise, Mage Merlin didn't need magic resources? But after calming down and thinking about it, it seems that it is no wonder that in his own world, there does not seem to be such a rich magical resource as the Alpha Continent, and Mage Merlin has still become a great magician, I'm afraid as he said, relying more on his own research and practice.
"Both...... Since that's the case, it's easy to do, you just need to choose a place, and I'll arrange someone to build it for you. After Leo figured it out, he agreed to it.
Mage Merlin's affairs are easy to handle, as long as the identity of the goblins is solved, there will be enough labor with tens of thousands of goblins in the goblin fortress.
Without letting Leo wait, Feng Xifan soon returned to restore his life, and Caraxiu had received a message from Feng Xifan, and sent a team of goblin legions to the castle according to Leo's order.
Within a few days, rumors of a goblin plague once again spread around Silverstone City in the northern part of the empire, and some people swore that they had seen a large group of goblins enter the empire in a neat military formation. However, the news was soon scoffed at by the nobles, who had always been synonymous with laziness, carelessness, treachery, and timidity, and had a neat military formation, and it was difficult for them to march without fighting, which must have been bragged about by the boring country farmers.
Soon, though, the nobles stopped laughing. Because, a strange army appeared outside the city of Silverstone, so that Baron Duke, who was the garrison of the city, hurriedly beckoned the residents who had come in and out to return to the city quickly, and forcibly ordered the city gate to be closed.
The strange army was made up of two different troops, one of the heavily armored soldiers of the Marquis of Leo, whom Baron Duke was familiar with, and they were sandwiched between two strange troops, as if to protect them and to guard them.
The strange army was made up entirely of gray-green goblins, with their chests and heads up wearing simple armor of uniform uniforms, round helmets, and spears in their hands. They were all full of energy and solemn, and the team moved in unison, and none of the goblin soldiers exchanged heads. These goblins don't have the obscene image of the goblin race as they stoop over and shake their heads and probe around, and if it weren't for their iconic short head and gray-green skin, they would have been comparable to the elite human legions.
"My goddess!" "This is incredible, is this still a goblin?" "I can't believe my eyes!" On the walls of Silverstone City, the soldiers on duty were looking out on the walls, and they kept screaming, and it seemed that they were really shocked by those goblins.
"Enough, queue, vigilance!" Baron Duke snorted and rebuked his soldiers, "Look at what you guys think one by one, what about your military discipline? What about your vigilance? Are you not even as good as those green-skinned goblins?"
The soldiers were ashamed to return to their duty posts under the reprimand of Baron Duke, and no one wanted to be compared to some goblins at this time. Baron Duke sent someone to inform the lord Marquis Leo and the consul Viscount Brontë, while ringing the alarm bell to mobilize soldiers to reinforce the city walls.
The Wei soldiers and goblin legions outside the city came to the city gate, and they didn't make any offensive postures, but just stood there honestly, which relieved the nervous soldiers on the city wall.
It wasn't long before Leo arrived at the top of the city with Viscount Brontë and the nobles of the city, and when he saw the strange army outside the city, there was another exclamation of surprise on the city walls. In the northern part of the Varu Empire, especially the area around Silverstone City, which borders the Badlands and Wastelands, the nobles have more or less seen goblins, which are obscene, cunning, cruel, cowardly, and other negative creatures, but these goblins who can be called elite soldiers outside the city have never seen them.
"My goddess, if all the goblins have become like this, then the northern frontier of the empire will ...... The Empire's Northern Frontier...... But it's dangerous!" said an old nobleman, clutching his heart tightly with his hand.
The old nobleman's words resonated with many nobles, and everyone looked at Marquis Leo, the lord of Silverstone City, wondering how Marquis Leo would deal with this matter.
The nobles looked at the frowning brows of Marquis Leo, and they all thought that Marquis Leo was worried about Silverstone City and the security of the empire, but they didn't think that Leo was thinking about another thing at this moment. Although it was all arranged by him, he saw a guy from the Goblin Legion outside the city who shouldn't be here, and things seemed to be a little out of his mind.
However, Leo still shouted out of the city according to his script, "What's going on?"
From the Wei Guowu soldiers on both sides of the Goblin Legion, the hundred generals Mu Fang walked out, and at this time, the clever and obscene Mu Fang was obviously much more suitable than the serious and wooden Wu Jin.
"Your Honorable Lord, these are goblins from the Badlands Wastelands, who appeared in our castle the other day to join the great Lord Leo. The subordinates didn't dare to make assertions, so they had to lead people all the way to you. Mu Fang loudly replied to Leo about the whole story.
The news exploded among the nobles like a bombshell, and this was the first time in the history of the empire that a foreign tribe had defected, and it was definitely an event that could go down in history.
In the Alpha Continent, there was no shortage of small and harmless races that had taken refuge in the powerful race of humans, such as those halflings, dwarves, etc., who had appeared in the sequence of the Holy Griffin Empire or the Cult of Light, and even the once powerful Paris Empire had attracted many elves to settle down. But since the founding of the Varu Empire, there has never been a case of foreign defection, and this news really surprised the nobles present.
