Annan did not want to depreciate the negotiated price, and he made no secret of his admiration for goblin creations.

"Your eyes are like a goblin sage." Chief Marc praised in a goblin manner.

This reminded Annan that Dolai had boasted about himself in the same way.

The Goblin Golems stretched out in a row, all dusty, and had not been activated and cleaned for a long time.

When they reached the thirtieth cross, they came to the end of the treasury.

"None?"

There was only a dust-free clearing, representing the place where the giant goblin golem once was.

"What you see is all we have."

"What about the giant goblin golem outside Persona that day?"

This question rarely made the goblins silent for a while: "As long as we have resources, we can make it again!" ”

It seems that there is only one giant goblin golem.

Annan was not a professional, so he summoned Fermi over.

After about two months of not seeing Fermi, a shallow scar appeared on his cheek, and he circled around the goblin golem and gave him a good evaluation: "I have seen it swimming in the rat tide." ”

"How about the big earth elementals?"

"You'll have to see it move." Fermi patted the golem's shell as if it were slapping against a wall, "But it's definitely stronger than the earth elemental." ”

In all their battles, the large earth elementals were always afraid of sieges. When hundreds of nezumi pounced, those rudimentary weapons would chisel away the Earth elemental's body bit by bit.

And the dull metal shell on the slap can't leave a few holes in a day......

Annan returned to the middle of the vault and picked up a handful of firearms and handed them to Fermi.

Fermi picked it up and looked at it for a long time, put it back, and Annan shook his head.

There is no familiar barrel and crosshair, it is not a weapon that is fired by kinetic energy, such as bows and arrows and muskets.

Whether it is the goblin golem or the fire gun in front of you, it must be driven by magic crystals.

The Magic Crystal is not a Philosopher's Stone, it is a special crystal that stores mana, and its price is slightly more expensive than the Philosopher's Stone.

It's a different path from Liberty City - while they prefix "magic" in front of magic gunpowder, magic muskets, and magic cannons, they don't really have anything to do with magic.

After looking at the treasure trove, the next step is to negotiate.

The goblin village chiefs are divided here: some goblin lions are opening their mouths, some goblins think they should sell well, some goblins are going to drive humans out, and some goblins are dancing.

Annan didn't care about the power struggle within the goblins, he just wanted to get what he wanted - the goblin golem, and the goblins themselves.

As the minutes passed, they did not solve the problem but intensified, occasionally asking Annan if he could let them go to Liberty City.

"I'm afraid not, there are too many of you."

There are less than a thousand goblins in Liberty City, and the factories they stay in are noisy like chicken coops from morning to night. There are more than thirty villages in the Rancid Moor, at least tens of thousands of goblins, who used to turn Freefranche into a sea of chirping.

"Can I go out for a walk?" Annan asked.

"You can go anywhere!" The village chief of Mak, who was standing on the side of "sell well", said.

Annan: They wandered around the treasure house.

He discovered that thorns were not just "walls" but also the dividing line between a bog and a walkable land. The goblins are too small to fall into the swamp and not even bubble out.

But even if you can walk on the ground, muddy water will still seep out when you step on it, and the ground will shake like a water balloon, so you don't want to stay for too long.

Annan asked Fermi privately: "What do you think?" ”

"Big is good, more is beautiful." Fermi replied briefly.

Annan thought so too, the goblin golem was too much in line with the style of Liberty City. At the very least, buy or form an alliance in exchange for a goblin golem and send it back to Liberty City to study and dismantle.

Next, if you have a good relationship with the elementals and recreate the Elemental Legion, then the north of Freecity will be impregnable.

"How's the situation going up north?"

Fermi said that the rat people and the demon tide had invaded, and the northern countries, including the kingdom of Rikaner, were on the verge of collapse. The Tatooon Empire built the Great Wall in the north. The Duchy of Montabullloc was frightened, and a large number of nobles fled to the Overwatch and left the Duchy with their possessions, as the nezumi were not far from them, and the previous war had consumed too much money.

Liberty City is helping the Duchy of Montabulllock build the Overwatch. They are allies, and the Overwatch is the only way to get to Liberty City.

"What about the Third Coalition?"

"It's still being planned, and the news revealed by the empire is to be formed in the winter."

After the winter, heavy snow covers the mountains, and the rat people who have no food either kill each other or invade in a big way.

With the size of the Tatunn Empire, it can completely compete with a nezumi clan, but the fall of the northern border always makes Annam, half of the northern people, regret.

"Look what the hell you're wearing!"

There was a commotion in the distance, and Dorai was being besieged by several goblins.

As soon as Annan was about to stop it, he was stopped by Dolai in turn: "Let them vent." ”

"You goblin, you've lost the face of the goblin!"

"Go back!"

The silent Dorai returned to Annan and followed him away.

Looking at the backs of Annan and Dolai, the goblins suddenly fell silent, looking down at their torn clothes and straw sandals everywhere.

"Enviable bastard ......"

……

"Why?"

On the way back to the treasure house, Annan asked.

"That way I won't negotiate in the next two because they're the same people who make the wrong decision." Dolai said calmly.

Annan patted it on the shoulder.

The goblin discussion came to an end, but it was an outcome that Annan could not understand:

They somehow deduced that Annan wanted an alliance - humans hate goblins - that an alliance is a conspiracy - tricked them into going out and killing, so Annan wanted to annex the formula of the rancid swamp.

This is not the end, because they split up with Chief Mak's staunch opposition...... Thirty-four goblin villages, one in the east and one in the west, and Annam came a little later, and they had already started a war.

Annan was incomprehensible, and Dolai showed an unspeakable sadness.

Before they could fight, Annan first followed the village chief of Make, who was firmly on his side, back to the village.

"Seems like there's one person missing?" Annan discovers that the goblin leader is missing.

Chief Mark said it had gone with the other chiefs.

Annan couldn't help but be silent.

Whether it was for a reward for those who stood on his side or for other goblin villages, Annan did not skimp on supplies. He opened the portal and asked Liberty City to bring in boxes of food.

The other villages scattered across the rancid moors fell silent, while the village of the chief of Marco began to feast.

Bonfires rose in the village clearings, and the smell of bread, barbecue, and hot soup briefly suppressed the pervasive stench of the rancid moor, and Annan seemed to have strayed into a halfling village, full of waist-high goblins jumping and jumping.

I'm afraid that's how ogres usually see them.
