Chapter 41: The Battle of Crete (2)

The Moon Elf saw that the goblins in the first line of defense were retreating, and hurriedly shouted to the two goblins on his side, "Fire, fire, fire! If they are allowed to rush up quickly, the second and third lines of defense will be over!"

The two goblins beside her glanced at the old goblin, and seeing that he had no master, they hurriedly took the small red flag next to him, shook it six times in a row, stopped again, and the other blue flag shook four times.

Soon, several flowering bombs exploded between the demons and the goblins, sending dozens of besieging goblins into the sky. Taking advantage of the demons' panic, the remaining goblins retreated to the second line of defense. For a moment, the dense sound of the bronze gun became compact again.

The old goblin finally came to his senses, and thanked him repeatedly, "Qingshui, why don't you command, I'll take a look at the slaves in the mine, don't take the opportunity to make trouble!"

Yue Qingshui glared at him, "How many slaves are there, how many are strong?"

"There are not many strong people, most of them are the fifth and sixth orders, there are more than 2,000 people in total, but they can't use them, they will rebel in battle!" the old man said in a panic. The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a huge sound of tide in the distance, and groups of crab people, lobster people, and water snake people rushed to the back of the demon clan with the help of shellfish water magicians.

The demons were also in turmoil, but they quickly stabilized their position, after all, the speed of the crab people is extremely slow, and the lobster people are very powerful, but after all, the number of people is too small, and they are a little farther away from the water, they are unable to fight again. Several Lich Kings quickly unleashed several mid-level fire-based magics, and the dark flames in the sky exploded around these Sea Clans, making the Sea Clans, who were very afraid of fire, retreat.

At this time, the sound of a snail horn sounded behind the sea clan, several huge humpback whales surfaced, and hundreds of lobster people and crab clan powerhouses rushed out of the sea again, commanding the thousands of sea clans who were charging in front of them to rush upwards regardless of their lives, and for a time they actually entangled the demon clan.

"Send an order, move the goblin position forward and support the Sea Clan!" Yue Qingshui was no longer polite at all, and quickly issued an order to the two surrounding goblins. As an elite lurker cultivated by the Moon Elf Clan since childhood, she has experienced life and death in the underworld, and she is used to seeing war preparations in Qinglin, so she has no pressure on the dead at all.

Under the command of the bronze horn in the rear, the goblins quickly recaptured the first line of position, and the bronze guns quickly opened fire on the demons, and for a while the two sides were evenly matched.

However, there are too few strong people among the Sea Clan, although there are many ordinary Sea Clans, their combat strength is mediocre, and they soon collapsed, and when they retreated into the sea water, they were less than a third, and there were only a dozen strong people left.

The demons who turned around rushed into the first line of defense again. The cannons on the hill were in full swing again, and the goblins retreated into the second line of defense. The cannons of both sides in the sky began to fire intensively at each other. Comparatively speaking, the demons were well prepared and had a large number of cannons, while Crete had plenty of shells, but there were only ten cannons, and they lost four at the beginning.

Soon, the cannons of the goblin kingdom were silent, and the goblins who had inquired about the news returned to say that everyone had been shaken to death, and that there were not many slaves left to guard them. Hearing this, the old goblin's face was bloodless.

"Withdraw! The Bronze Mine Demon Clan will not be able to mine for a while, and when the large army reinforcements come, we will take it back!" Yue Qingshui didn't want to put himself in such an indifferent war.

"No, you can't retreat, even if you die in battle, you can't give up Crete! it's too important!" the old goblin was stubborn. Everyone else looked unhappy. Obviously, the old elf had something to say.

Yue Qingshui thought for a moment and asked, "This is not far from the Orc Kingdom, when will their reinforcements arrive?"

The old goblin said, "It is expected that in an hour and a half, the news will come that there are a thousand reinforcements, and the strong ones are more than five hundred! The elven kingdom and the nearest goblin reinforcements can be reached in more than half a day!"

Yue Qingshui's brows furrowed. If there are really some important secrets on this island, and the demons are coming for this secret, then it is impossible to simply predict the comparison in numbers, and there may be other back-ups.

After thinking for a long time, she turned back to the old goblin and said, "You just said that I would take full command of this battle, did you?"

The old goblin nodded, it is true that he is the supreme governor of Crete, but he really doesn't know military command, not to mention that his martial arts skills are not strong and his courage is small!

Yue Qingshui spoke, "Free all the slaves, give them freedom, and if they can survive the battle, let them become free people!"

The entire goblin kingdom has entered the early stage of the slave society, and it can be said that this is a country that is moving towards the combination of technology and magical civilization. In the entire island of Crete, the total number of slaves in the various mines is almost more than 2,000, and the number of overseers and the like is close to 3,000, which is a considerable force.

The old goblin was a little nervous, releasing the slaves was not something he could do, he wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare, after all, there were nearly 3,000 demons on the opposite side, if he was allowed to command, maybe the whole line would retreat in an hour!

Just thinking about it, Gengkins spoke, "These slaves can be regarded as the strength of our dragon clan to support you, if there is any remaining after the victory, all of them will be sent to the Qinglin tribe, and it will be regarded as your strength to support them!

When the old goblin heard this, this method was good, and he didn't have any responsibility for himself: this dragon ancestor obviously regarded these slaves as an alien force, which did not violate the slavery system, and was suitable for the current form.

Soon, more than a dozen goblins ran down, and the slaves inside the mine had already gathered in one place at this time, and the overseers were a little overwhelmed. Although these slaves did not dare to rebel blatantly, they also shouted in unison, and for a time the crowd was angry.

Yue Qingshui motioned for Gengkins to command first, and he and a goblin went down to the largest mine cave, where most of the miner slaves had gathered.

Yue Qingshui briefly introduced the battle situation, and then said her idea. She finally said emotionally, "There is no slavery system in our eastern wilderness, and our Qinglin tribe regards everyone as our own people. Now, if the demons outside occupy here, your fate will not be much better, and you will even be slaughtered directly.

If you seize the opportunity and don't die on the battlefield, you will have a reason to regain your freedom! You may not believe me, but please believe the dragon clan, one of their important leaders, Gengkins, has personally spoken just now, and everyone who survives, whether disabled or not, our Qinglin tribe is responsible for receiving it.

Remember, as long as you live, we have a way to keep you intact! Of course, protect your head and eyes!

The slaves below were silent, everyone was thinking. Hiding in the mine, there may not be any danger, even if the demons really occupy this place, but continue to be miners! Of course, it is not excluded that this female elf said the massacre. After all, the fewer the secrets of the mine are known, the better!

Soon, a strong lionman comes forward, who has been sold to the Goblin Kingdom as a slave for theft.

"My parents, wife, and children are starving to death, and I don't have any affection for the whole of the Western Wilderness, but I hate to be a slave to a foreign race!

On the other side, a slave who was clearly a bear goblin stepped forward, "I'm an earth magician, and I was tricked into being sold here as a slave. My wish is to return to my hometown. Can you guarantee that?"

The gossip request made Yue Qingshui have a headache. She finally understood how difficult Hu Menglin's role was, any group had different demands, and it was simply impossible to solve all the contradictions with one solution!

"Okay, I guarantee that the rest of the people after the war are free people, and where they want to go, there is nowhere to go, Qinglin is responsible for accepting it!

There is a cheer below, there is a possibility, who wants to be in this black hole every day without seeing the light of day!

The overseers are all good, and the most inferior ones also have seventh-order strength. Yue Qingshui had no choice at all, and was directly divided into twenty teams according to the personnel under their jurisdiction.

"Supervisor Zhang, do you have anything like animal fat here?" Yue Qingshui looked at a fat goblin, and it was obvious that this guy was a "corrupt person" - the head of the slave's diet.

"No, but there are still hundreds of barrels of kerosene used to make copper! This thing is so poisonous that it catches fire! We usually mix it in ore slag. This batch seems to have dozens of barrels that haven't had time to be mixed, I don't know if it can be used?"

Yue Qingshui hurriedly went to see it with him. In a remote mine, thousands of wooden barrels were thrown in a mess, and a team of elven powerhouses were stationed on a high place, looking down.

After sniffing, she asked a slave to take a little bit, and lit it outside the cave, and the flames suddenly rose with the sparks, and a foul smell pierced her nose, and the fiery feeling made Yue Qingshui's heart happy.

She went outside, and selected some of the able-bodied ones from the twenty troops of slaves, and brought two barrels with each of them, and one bucket for each of the other slaves.

"Remember, after a while, we rushed out of the mine, and more than 2,000 meters down was the cannon of the demon clan, where five or six hundred people were guarding. Your task is to drop these barrels on the cannons, and of course, on people! Remember, run to the hole when you're done! Don't run up the hill to prevent the demons from chasing you!"

Some of the slaves below understand, and some are still asking what is a tail-of-nuroboros pursuit?

Yue Qingshui didn't care to explain, and asked people to tell the goblins above that once the enemy cannon was poured with oil, immediately release fire magic to ignite the cannon. She herself stained the five arrows behind her with oil. And the two mountaintop cave men and several orc strong men of the Qinglin tribe who came down with her also picked up a few wooden barrels each.
