The Storm Rises Chapter 47 Exploration, Scum
"That's right, it's all this armor besides these farming tools." Wang Yu stood with Aemon and Wenna, staring at the pile of large and small pieces of armor that had been ripped from the goblin corpse at his feet.
"This is the standard armor of the Alestalite Empire, which is basically used by infantry soldiers."
Look at this, because many places don't take the lives of these lowest-level infantry soldiers seriously, so they will generally steal material here in the abdomen. ”
Emon picked up one piece of tattered armor from the pile and showed it to the other two, and Wang Yu did not shy away from the dirty and smelly armor, and touched it.
"Well, that's right" fingers touched the armor, the quality was acceptable, and there was all the protection that should be there, but when it came to the armor on the abdomen, it was obvious that the armor was concave by Wang Yu's fingers, and it was indeed stealing.
"Basically, the soldiers on the front line will be stolen, because they have a large number and a particularly scary base, so no one will care about them."
"On the contrary, the armor in other places, because of the small number, is not really killed on the battlefield, but look carefully, no one steals the material, after all, the amount is not large, and there is nothing to make money." Aemon explained.
"Yes, then this should indeed be the armor of a front-line soldier, but you know a lot?" Wang Yu nodded approvingly, and then asked casually with some admiration, but he didn't expect this orc to know a lot.
"I've been on the battlefield..."Eamon touched a long scar that stretched from his left eye to his chin, and he didn't have any special expression, thinking that he had let go of something from the past.
"It's a bit of a noose with Elliott, but it's still a lot better than before." Wen Na suddenly interjected at this time, it seems that these two had a good time before.
Also, Wenna's level of performance can also be one of the top assassins in the official knight stage.
Without asking about the past of the two people, Wang Yu continued to take out one from the pile of tattered armor.
Looking at this armor with several holes, as well as the emblem of Sevintan on his left chest, Wang Yu thought about it, and touched this armor that also looked like a standard, good guy, this time it was the shoulder armor that stole the material.
Some sighed that this thing was the same everywhere, and Wang Yu confirmed that the things these goblins were brought from the front line.
"So all these goblins came running across the border from the front line? This is a little incredible, isn't it?" Wang Yu muttered to himself.
Not to mention that there is such a good environment on the front line to give this group of weak goblins a chance to pick up equipment, just crossing the border without being detected by the patrolling Alestre soldiers is a problem.
"No, the peculiarity of those three goblins!" Wang Yu, who was a little confused, reacted again, as long as these goblins were not discovered, they could really do such a complicated thing.
Those three goblins can be unobservable, so it seems that it is not impossible to keep this large group of goblins hidden...
Then the power of the Night Lady called Eunice who appeared in his mental space must be taken seriously.
Wang Yu was still pondering here, and a sharp goblin shout had already come from behind, "Hurry up! These armors are collected to sell for money! ”
"We've been delayed for a long time, so let's get ready and go! This armor should make up for the loss of my poor horses! ”
Elliott, the goblin who was still screaming in pain just now, had recovered, and he became anxious when he saw Wang Yu and the three of them staring at the armor pile without moving.
The horses were bitten to death by the goblin herd, and after that, it may be necessary for Emon to pull the cart, and even Wang Yu has to take a hand.
Horses are not cheap, especially well-tamed horses of good quality, and if these horses are bitten to death, Elliott, the caravan owner, is also a serious loss.
Collecting these armors can be sold for some money after being dragged back to the royal city, which can be regarded as reducing some losses.
Emon scratched his head, an embarrassed look on his hideous face, "Boss, I don't want my salary this time, I want to go and see the village that was looted by goblins..."
"Ahh
"Why are you so kind as an orc? The salary won't lose you, just go and see it, and Wenna, too, why are you crazy with this guy? ”
Elliott glanced at Vinna, and the elf gave him a blank look to indicate that he hadn't said anything, but he didn't refute it.
"I'm sorry, honorable guest, this guy Aemon suddenly wants to go and see, I hope you don't mind if you delay a little time..."
"It's okay, I'd like to see it too." Wang Yu waved his hand, he was indeed a little curious about what the situation was, and he didn't plan to go out of his way to see it, but since Emon had brought it up, it was a good choice to go over and see it himself.
Collect some information, and after arriving in the royal city, I will hand it over to the members of the Night Blade for analysis, and the Night Lady, it is best to leave it to Father Fang, he is a layman, and it is very stupid to be reckless.
Elliott and Wang Yu returned to the carriage together, waiting for Emon to bring the stripped armor to the car and load it.
On the road, the money-greedy goblin seemed to find that Wang Yu was a very good talker, and his mouth was a little uncontrollable, and he complained to Wang Yu.
"Alas, why do you say that I, the owner of the caravan, am so difficult, there are a bunch of broken things, these two subordinates don't look down on me at all, one is usually obedient, and when it comes to critical moments, he will make mistakes."
"Just now, what did you say that an orc was so kind to do, and he cared more about this kingdom than an Alestalite peasant, alas, it really is, sorry for letting you listen to my nonsense again." Elliott complained and apologized to his broken mouth.
Wang Yu smiled and didn't answer, in fact, it can be seen that Wenna and Emon still recognize this boss who is a bit of a philistine but will not be confused in major matters, in this world, it is not easy for everyone.
Sitting in the cart and waiting for a while, the carriage began to move, and it seemed that Emon had loaded all the armor and set off for the cart.
It was a delay, but it was actually fine, and Aemon looked at the hoes and farming tools that the goblins held in their hands, as well as the insignia of some noble fiefdoms on those clothes, and recognized that they should be from a small village that they would pass on on the trade road they often run.
Just check by when passing by, the speed of the car is much slower than before, and the lack of a few horses pulling the cart has slowed down the overall speed of the convoy.
Fortunately, the road was almost rushed in the previous few days, and after a whole day, I was basically able to reach the royal city.
Wang Yu sat in the carriage, still pondering the night lady that these goblins and the steel cone had made out in his mental space.
Wang Yu couldn't understand the deep meaning, but it was not difficult to guess that this was a plan of Seventan. It's deep.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason, so I simply didn't think about it, he wasn't Alestale's person in nature, so he didn't have to care too much about this, just avoid the chaos in the royal city from affecting him later, and the rest was not too important.
The convoy traveled for a while, gradually slowing down, and as Emmon pulled the horse rope, the entire convoy also stopped completely, Wang Yu jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Emmon's side.
At this time, the orc man was standing next to the trade road and looking at a small village in the dark night, it was the second half of the night when the goblin raiders attacked, and it was still not dawn, and the moonlight was very bright, so there was no need for torches or anything.
Wang Yu glanced at the path leading to the outside of the village, and several shocking blood stains dragged far away, and there were bloody footprints on some small footboards.
This is left by the goblins, the blood has dried up and looks pale brownish-red in the moonlight, the goblins' blood is green, and it is self-evident whose red blood stains are.
The orcs obviously saw this, and hurried towards the village, Wang Yu and Wen Na ran after the big orc towards the village.
The further inside, the more shocking the tragedy became, with a messy trail of blood appearing on the village's paths, and a large number of mutilated corpses being discarded on the road, covered with marks of gnawing.
Goblins are typical omnivorous creatures, eating almost anything, and are not picky about human meat.
Running all the way to the village, the ruined village was completely exposed in front of the three of them, and the houses made of earth and wood were meaningless in the face of this huge number of goblins, either forcibly knocked down or dug holes.
The house was in shambles, tables were overturned and shattered, bottles and cans were shattered to the ground, and a large pool of blood and some broken bloodstained bones in the ruins were probably the last traces left by the owner of the house.
The orc ran in a hurry, and could see what he wanted to do, but the village was so dead and terrifying that they could not hear the sound of the living, and the collapsed fences and ruined houses all told them that there were no living people here.
Wang Yu's inner eye was fully opened, and the ripples continued to extend outward to scan, trying to find the remaining life in this dead and silent land, but nothing had been found yet.
The three of them ran wildly in the dead village, and they could imagine how desperate the villagers here were in the face of those goblins, a large number of goblins suddenly appeared, running much faster than the villagers, and the number was unimaginable.
The village guards may not have had time to fight back and be completely overwhelmed, and in the face of these little men who run faster than humans, even if a single threat is not big, in the face of the huge numbers, the villagers are simply unable to resist.
And the goblin's keen sense of smell also makes most of the hiding meaningless.
Thinking of the scene of the goblins shouting wildly, swarming and swarming the villagers down, slashing and slashing, and gnawing, Wang Yu sighed, sure enough, no matter when, the most hurt by the war are those ordinary people.
And what are those who started the war for, Wang Yu doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to care, he doesn't have any special feelings, he just feels a little helpless.
There are some things, whether the world has changed or not, but the essence is always like that, and it doesn't make a difference in any world.
"Huh?" Wang Yu, who still hadn't found a living person, found something different in his rippled vision, it was something chaotic and twisted like smoke, knotted together.
There are illusory human faces inside, coming in and out of this "smoke", and there are old and young in those faces, but they are all the same anger and tyranny and a little confused.
"Attention, there's a wraith up ahead." Wang Yu reminded the other two that he was familiar with this thing, and the "Wailing of the Resentful Spirit" that killed a large number of robbers in the thief's den was the powder left behind after the resentful spirit dissipated.
"Hmm." The elven ranger nodded, and she and Wang Yu, who had a keen perception, noticed it almost at the same time, and several people stopped and looked into the distance.
The smoke was hovering in place, and there were people in it constantly popping out, screaming silently and then retracting, and both the orcs and elves frowned a little uncomfortably, but Wang Yu didn't react.
"How can there be a wraith here? Obviously, there were so many places before. Wang Yu thought in his heart, looked at the orc, and found that his face was very unsightly, as if he had thought of something bad.
All the way before, those villagers also died miserably, but there were no resentful spirits, but how could there be here...
The resentful spirit just froze in place, its smoky body condensed and dispersed, not like a normal resentful spirit, driven by hatred to slaughter all living beings that came close after death.
It gave Wang Yu the feeling that it was a little strange, as if he couldn't find an object of resentment.
"Let's go, this thing won't do anything to us" Eamon stood up suddenly, and then walked in the direction of the resentful spirit, Wang Yu was a little surprised, but he believed that this reliable orc would not be untargeted, and quickly followed.
Sure enough, the resentful spirit did not launch any attack on Wang Yu and them, it was still just a change in the moonlight.
The orc also seemed to see a direction and ran very quickly, Wang Yu followed the pace of the orc, and ran towards a place a little outside the village.
Suddenly, Wang Yu's ripples detected something, it was a large pool of blood and fragments of corpses, and a trap-iron door buried under these fragments of corpses?
"I've been to this village before, and this place should have a cellar for emergency refuge..."
The orc's face was very ugly, and although the shelter was mentioned, Eamon did not show the slightest joy at the survivors who might still be alive.
Stopping in front of a large pool of flesh and blood, Wang Yu looked at the remains of the corpse, and the ripples poked into the iron door.
He saw and heard a few people, huddled in the large underground space below, talking quietly about something.
One of the young men said something to a middle-aged man next to him, "Father, it's good that the patrolling Huck noticed something was wrong and came to inform us first, otherwise we wouldn't have had time to run here." ”
"Huck is running to inform the villagers with sympathy, I guess he'll be torn apart by those goblins in the middle of it."
The middle-aged man said indifferently, "Who can be blamed for his own death, originally he came to inform us that it was a merit, and it was not a problem for him to come and hide with us, he also had to inform those villagers, then his life would be paid for by himself." ”
"Yes, those villagers were told that they wanted to rush over to take refuge in the future, but fortunately I stuck the board with an iron bar, otherwise we might not be able to stop the villagers from pulling," the young man nodded
"I heard the blacksmith and his son on it, and he was strong enough that the iron bar was bent, but he screamed just as loudly when he was bitten by a goblin."
"It deserves it, it wouldn't be nice if he opened the door and let the goblins in," the middle-aged man continued, indifferent.
"Also, I heard that the villagers thought that the iron gate was stuck, and I was scared when I heard that desperate voice."
These goblins are really terrifying, but fortunately we escaped earlier, and we don't know when the rescue will arrive, so the magic of the Cult of Light should know about the situation here soon, right? "The young man was a little afraid.
Wang Yu turned his head to look at Emon with cold eyes, he understood why this orc's eyes were so cold, he didn't know why this alien race cared so much about the Alestalite Kingdom, he only knew that the damned people here didn't die.
Facing Emon, Wang Yu nodded, Emon's face suddenly gloomy, and he understood.
Without speaking, Wang Yu and Emon walked to both sides of the iron plate door together, one grabbed the handle of each side of the top one, and his muscles swelled and he strained himself.
"Crunch!" The iron bars used to hold the iron door were easily twisted and bent under the tremendous force of the two of them.
The iron bar was completely broken, and the iron trapdoor was completely opened, revealing the faces of the family below with a hint of horror and surprise, and indifferently glanced at the pile of scum below, Wang Yu and Emon turned their heads and left.
The young man looked at the door that suddenly opened above and at the orcs and humans who left with some surprise, and looked at the middle-aged man beside him with some puzzlement, and the middle-aged man next to him also replied with the same puzzled expression.
Suddenly, the young man noticed that the expression of his middle-aged village chief's father had become frightened, and he looked behind him, and he hurriedly turned his head to look.
In the moonlight, several resentful heads moved in and out of a cloud of smoke, dancing wildly, and the embodiment of resentment rushed in through the iron door above.
The iron door that could not be opened, this time, opened, and the confused resentful spirit also found the end of its resentment.
