0164 Lord Baron wins!

The head of Kenmet said indignantly, "Your Excellency the magicians of the University of Kemo, are you just sitting back and watching those filthy goblins invade our Gilago County?"

"Have you forgotten that Gilago County used to be the domain of gnomes, and more than half of the magic professors in Kemo University are gnomes!"

Jialan looked at the mercenary captain with a strange face: "For them, is the current ruler of Gilago County a human or a goblin, does it have anything to do with them? In their eyes, we humans are the same as goblins, but they are all 'invaders' of Gilago County!"

Originally, Jialan had never understood that the magicians of Kemo University would adopt such a laissez-faire atmosphere of inaction and even self-enclosure for their own territory.

However, as Jialan gradually gained a deeper understanding of Kemo University, she slowly learned that what would cause this situation was purely a problem left over from history.

The Gilargo region has been a breeding ground for dwarf groups since ancient times, and although it has no less wisdom, knowledge and civilization than humans, it has a gentle and kind temperament, is close to animals, plants, and nature, and is humorous and full of curiosity.

This peaceful dislike of fighting and winning has led the gnomes to never develop Gilago into a formal kingdom, and most of its internal affairs are governed by local dwarf clans, and there is no unified ruling power.

After the destruction of the "Apocalypse", although the Gilago region also suffered serious environmental damage, the disaster was relatively light compared to the inland, and what really threatened the civilization of the dwarfs was the "man-made disaster" after the Apocalypse.

Massive migration of humans and other races from the devastated hinterland. The constant squeezing of the dwarfs' breeding grounds, coupled with the warring races waging wars in the Gilago region for living space. Severely disrupted the peaceful life of the gnomes.

Gradually, humans replaced the gnomes as the dominant group in the Gilago region, and slowly formed the current human environment of Gilago County.

But for the gnomes, who have no sense of statehood, it doesn't seem to matter to them whoever becomes the ruler of the land, as long as it doesn't affect or interfere with them. Nothing unacceptable.

Gnomes are just peaceful and kind by nature, not weak and cowardly, and they are towards any non-malicious race. All have a great sense of tolerance.

But if outsiders are malicious, whatever their intentions, gnome engineers, alchemists, inventors, and a large number of spellcasters. It will let them know what the power of knowledge is!

Because of this. Whoever becomes the ruler of the Giralgo region will be careful not to anger the good gnome inhabitants and not interfere with or affect their lives, in fact, the mild gnomes will rarely cause trouble for the ruler.

This habit of the dwarf has affected the atmosphere of Kemo University. In addition, the profession of magician has similar habits to those of gnomes. Away from politics and focusing on academic research in its own field, it can be said that the University of Como is a microcosm of the Gilargo region.

This goblin invasion, in the eyes of the dwarf magic professor and other magicians of Kemo University, is probably another boring "fight", plus the goblins have also consciously avoided the area where Kemo University is located, in this case, it is not surprising that there will be such a strange situation......

Captain Kenmet was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was really the case, in the two hundred years since the establishment of Kemo University, it really had not been involved in any change of power, perhaps this was the reason why Kemo University was able to maintain its current transcendent status in the Gilago region.

Kenmet was very worried about the inference that Jialan would soon have a second wave of goblin legions to attack, and his rich mercenary experience in traveling all over the year made him know more about the Dagon Goblin Kingdom than ordinary people.

The goblin legion that came to attack Fort of Doom last night was probably not the regular army of the "Razor Crown War Goblin Legion" as they guessed, but only other goblin tribes attached to the Lukatash clan, only the thousands of goblins and hundreds of bear goblins in the core could barely be regarded as warriors.

According to known information, this time Dagon County invaded Gilargo, mainly the many "Low Goblin" clans of the "Gardar Emirate", the most powerful of which is obviously the "Lukatash Clan", which claims to have "million warriors".

The Lukatash clan, which implements the "slave system", is known for its strong military force of all soldiers, and the adult male goblins in the clan are all members of the "Razor Crown War Goblin Legion".

As the "official" strength of Dagon County recognized by the outside world, the combat power of the "Razor Crown" is not comparable to the goblins who wore simple leather armor and held shoddy short spears last night.

Not only do they have a regular legion and standard armament that is no less than that of the human kingdom, but they also control the reviving goblin civilization and highly developed steam equipment technology.

If the Goblins see the Goblins as an enemy to destroy, then the next thing they will face is the devastating blow of the Steam Chariot, the Steam Ballista, and the Steam Catapult.

Captain Kenmet peeked at Jialan's side, the mysterious "magician" who was dressed in a black robe, wearing long gloves on his hands, a hood on his head, and a mask on his face, covering his whole body without revealing a trace of skin.

Although the thousands of golden skeletons under His Excellency Jialan are powerful, they may not play a big role in front of the regular army, and only the legions that also have large war equipment can deal with the goblins who have mastered the skills of steam equipment......

With all kinds of worries, the rough and restless Commander Kenmet commanded the mercenaries to lead a large number of hired laborers to collect as many rocks and trees as possible near the Doom Fortress, and busily repaired various war fortifications.

Although it is not a professional army, it is a mercenary group that is hired as an auxiliary force from time to time, and is no stranger to war, and the only hope now is that the "Razor's Crown" does not use Fort Doom as the main target, and allows them to hold out until the arrival of the coalition forces of the other city-states in Gilargo County.

The thieves who acted as scouts kept sending back information that explained the current situation.

"Due to the suddenness of the outbreak of the war, the towns in Koran fell with little effective resistance, and the Goblin Legion and the combined forces of the barbarians and orcs did not stay long in the territory of Koran after defeating the main resistance forces of the city of Koran. ”

Hugo rarely had a hippie smile, and said solemnly: "They left part of their forces to occupy the city and suppress the resistance, and their main force bypassed the city of Corland and continued to advance westward, probably planning to take advantage of the situation to conquer more city-states to stabilize the invasion." ”

The coalition of the city-states of Gilargo County has been slower to react than expected, and clashes are expected to erupt near the city of Suribal in northwestern Coran. ”

Captain Kenmet frowned and said, "The situation is very bad!"

"No, it's kind of 'good news', the bad news is that the 'Bloody Hand Baron' Lord Aldington Rodney and his private army are now in charge of controlling the city of Corran, and I think this is also his reward for opening the gates of Corran...... Maybe in the future, we will have to call this Baron Jin Quan His Excellency the 'City Lord' of Corland City!"

"This madman, who is dirtier than maggots, has finally jumped from behind the scenes to the front of the scenes!"

Captain Kenmet cursed, "Isn't he worried about the destruction of his industry where the goblins, who are more terrible than locusts, pass through where even the most tenacious weeds will grow?"

"Boss, you guessed right! Except for the city of Koran, which is barely intact and the civilians and merchants in the city are basically unharmed, the materials for small and medium-sized towns, villages, farms, ranches, estates, and vineyards in the Corram region have almost been looted by the goblins and taken away as supplies for attacking other city-states!"

Hugo grinned and said, "The same goes for the properties in Baron Rodney's name...... Perhaps the future lord of the city thinks it is worth paying a year's harvest in exchange for the de facto dominion of a region?"

Jialan asked, "Aside from the Dragon's Lair Adventure Hall, how much armed power is there in Kelan City?"

"It's hard to say! Baron Rodney made a clear promise to the professors of magic at the University of Magic that as long as the magicians were not involved in this dispute, they would ensure the safety of the civilians in the city, not restrict the normal activities of the teachers and students of the academy in the city, and provide all kinds of materials needed by the University of Science and Magic. ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders: "As for the mercenary guild, adventure guild and other major guild institutions, they have also received a promise from Baron Rodney, as long as they don't interfere, everything will be the same as before...... By the way, I have one more bad news and an even worse news, do you want to hear it, boss?"

"The bad news is that Baron Rodney's hostility in the Civic Council has been purged by him, including the families behind non-members of the Golden Council, including His Excellency the Speaker and Councillor Kasmer, and the looting of the property of these hostile families alone is enough to make up for the loss of Baron Rodney's estate outside the city. ”

Before the head of Kenmet got angry and Jialan blew him up with a fireball, Hugo wisely sped up his speech: "In addition, your uncle, the president of our branch of the Corland City Mercenary Guild, has been 'dismissed', and several other vice presidents who are friendly with Baron Rodney have become the new managers of the Mercenary Guild!"

"The worse news is that now that we are the only hostile force that Baron Rodney has not had time to clear, his private army and the goblin legion remaining in Coran City are undergoing renovations, and I am afraid that as Lord Jialan predicted, they will soon come to attack Doom Castle. ”

Hugo looked at Jialan and spread his hands: "I have to say, he won the battle between us and His Excellency Baron Rodney!" (to be continued......)
