Chapter 35: Trouble
Gondor is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with abundant precipitation and abundant forest resources. Not only are these forests ridiculously large, but they are also filled with swamps and fog of all kinds, and those with a slightly less sense of direction will not be able to find the north as soon as they turn a few corners.
There are still countless poisonous insects and poisons lurking in the forest, and even if half of the team is a monk, if they are attacked without knowing their poison, the end will never be much better.
But now that they have a bear clan that is familiar with this place, it is like their own back garden, and these have become trivial things.
Everyone admired Chang Hao's unpredictable prophet and wise decision-making in their hearts.
Herbert was a model of a dedicated bearman, and in addition to personally leading the team at the front, he also divided the hundreds of bearmen into two teams to protect the two wings of Chang Hao and his party, and let a few bearmen follow behind the hall at the end of the team.
When the bears saw that some of the women and children in the team were weak on their feet and had difficulty moving, they volunteered to let them sit on their shoulders, one left and one right, without any difficulty. The naughty children are the least afraid of life, and they frolic on the broad shoulders of the tall bears, and the bears grin with joy, and they like to be lively in their hearts.
The Bears hated the Templars with their nostrils pointing upwards, but they were not stingy with their love for adorable children.
The bears expressed their goodwill first, and the disciples of the three major sects led by Ling Xingyi couldn't hold back their enthusiasm for research, and planned to try to contact the bears.
Chang Hao didn't stop Ling Xingyi from them, after all, it is estimated that they will have to rely on the help of the bear people for a long time in the future, and there is no harm in getting along with each other early.
As a result, it didn't take long for Chang Hao, who was walking in front, to turn around, and the disciples of the three major sects had already had a good relationship with the bear-man warriors to wear a pair of pants. In Herbert's words, these human friends don't have the condescending demeanor of the Templars, and their speech is crepe-like, but they sound very comfortable.
Chang Hao knew that it must be the credit of Ling Xingyi's mouth.
Originally, Chang Hao thought that after more than a hundred mouths of the bear people warriors, the ration supply would become the biggest problem, but he still underestimated the hunting skills of the bear people warriors. Herbert often volunteered to lead the team out hunting, and always brought back a lot of game and water supplies, so that Chang Hao saved a lot of reserve food.
Bears, including Herbert, had to smear a layer of honey on their food every time they ate. The bears know that lychee honey is precious, they use goat's milk to dilute the honey into milky white syrup and smear it on the caught fish or animal meat, the wonderful fragrance makes every monk smell moved, some beauty-loving female monks after learning that this honey delicacy can nourish and nourish the skin, they do not hesitate to join the mighty beauty movement with Emilia and Chang Ge, two senior beauty masters.
The farther inland the Gondor region is from the coast, the chance of encountering goblin bandits increases by almost one point for every step taken, and the deeper you go, the more powerful the bandits.
Most of these bandits are made up of goblins and ogres, and their territory is divided according to their strength. The greedy Gondor bandits never tolerate a share of their territory from other forces in the same region, and if they dare to strike at the fat sheep they value, they will be in a bloody internal war.
On the fifth day of trekking in the mountains of Gondor, Chang Hao and the others were unsurprisingly attacked by bandits.
Goblin bandits have the advantage of numbers, and the scale of their attacks from the woods looks like a flash flood, hula rolling down from a height. Laymen or the less courageous may be frightened to the point of urinating when they see this overwhelming number. But if you look closely at these goblins, you will find that their weapons and equipment are not much different from those of Hanako, who asks for food, all rusty iron tools and leg bones and sticks that are reluctant to throw away after eating, and only a few rags on their bodies to cover their shame.
Herbert snorted, they had lived here for generations, and they were all too familiar with these "old friends" who were no more than their knees in size, and the pig iron stick in their hands could smash a large area of poorly equipped goblins into the sky with a swing of it.
The monks from Eastern Kyushu were naturally not idle, and all kinds of Five Elements Techniques and Imperial Sword Techniques emerged in an endless stream, which really made these goblin robbers who had never seen the world see what it meant to suppress firepower. Believing that they had stumbled into a magician, the goblin robbers immediately left their immobile comrades behind and rolled back into the woods like a tidal wave.
This encounter in the woods was thrilling and repelled the goblin bandits without any losses. Chang Hao thought that after seeing their strong strength, the robbers should not dare to act rashly in a short period of time.
But as it turned out, he still underestimated the perseverance and ambition of this group of robbers.
Since the last defeat of these goblin bandits, they have been waging guerrilla warfare day and night, whether they can fight or not, they will run away after one round anyway. The bear-man warriors didn't know if there were traps and ambushes in the depths, and they didn't dare to chase after them if they won.
"Can't you kill these goblins?" Chang Hao asked with a frown as he looked at the goblins who had disappeared into the forest after repelling the bandits' attacks.
"You want to kill all these annoying, disgusting goblins? Herbert counted the number of people and said: "Boss, don't you know, these goblins are flooded because they have no natural enemies, and these bandit forces are eager to die more goblin cannon fodder to save food." ”
"These goblins are all under the command of a bandit leader named Carlo, and we have a long time between us. Herbert sneered and grinned with white teeth.
Chang Hao nodded, no wonder he worked very hard when he saw many bear warriors beating goblins just now, it turned out that the old hatred was colliding together.
"These robbers are really a good wishful thinking, they can not only use the goblins to consume our combat power, but also save food on the other hand, it's really poisonous. Ling Xingyi sighed as he looked at the goblin corpses all over the place.
"Wishful thinking, what is that, is it delicious?" Herbert has been listening to Ling Xingyi talk about oriental food these days, and he is almost fascinated.
"Do these goblin robbers usually attack your tribe?" Chang Hao asked, giving Ling Xingyi, who was about to explain to Herbert what an abacus is.
"Not really, they usually only dare to pick on people who look like bullies. Herbert's expression was a little solemn, and he pointed to the big team and said: "But boss, you see, our team has more than three hundred people, and the cooperation between the bear people and the monks is becoming more and more familiar, and the combat effectiveness is very strong. ”
"Go on. Chang Hao smelled a hint of something unpleasant.
"We may be targeted by more than one bandit force. ”
Herbert said, "Sir, there are many women and children in your ranks, and the monks are richly dressed, and Miss Emilia and Miss Changge are excessively beautiful, and the robbers are absolutely irresistible to this temptation. ”
Chang Hao was a little silent, he had asked Herbert earlier how many goblin robbers counted in the Gondor region, and Herbert raised two bear fingers.
These goblin robbers who keep them awake are just second-rate goods!
Although the bear-man warriors are powerful, they also need to rest.
Although the monk's immortal method is powerful, it takes a long time to meditate to recover spiritual power.
In the past few days, the bears and the monks have cooperated with each other to take turns to defend, and the results have been very good, but everyone has not slept soundly for several days, and the harassment of the goblins is endless, and God knows if this taut string will break one day.
"I'm really depressed, if there were a swarm of drones, we could monitor the movements of bandits in the entire Gondor region, and we wouldn't be so passive!" Chang Ge heard that these disgusting goblins actually coveted her and Emilia's beauty, and she was angry and said something that made Ling Xingyi and Herbert confused.
Chang Hao sighed, he didn't want to move out a few Gatlings who could smoke blue fire to surprise these goblins, but now they are poor and white, and they don't even have a place to live, and it is still too early to develop modern technology.
But he still kept this angry sentence Chang Ge in his heart.
You must know that science and technology are the primary productive forces wherever they go.
"The situation is bad right now, and it's likely to get worse and worse in the future. I don't have any problem with the Bearren withdrawing here, after all, this is very different from what we have negotiated before, and it is beyond the scope of the treaty. Chang Hao retracted his thoughts and had a showdown with the leader of the bear clan in front of him, who was much taller than him.
The bear-man warriors and monks alike had their eyes on Herbert, as his next answer would decide the fate of many.
"The bear people are fearless!abandoning their companions and brothers will only be spurned by the bear god!" Herbert the bear fur exploded, answering Chang Hao's question in an almost roaring voice.
Chang Hao smiled lightly, he really didn't see the wrong person. The reason why he made the problem clear here was to prevent the situation of "unstable bear's heart" in future battles.
He has completely tied the bear people to his thief ship.
"Then according to Heshuai, how should we deal with the encirclement and suppression of these bandits?" Chang Hao affectionately changed Herbert's resounding name, and he spread out the broken map, which showed that they were going to pass through a place called Bailu Canyon next, where the terrain was steep, and the natural pass terrain was obviously very suitable for the robbers to ambush.
Now he doesn't know what kind of storm he will blow on Middle-earth in the future with the name "Heshuai" that he gave Herbert on a whim.
"We need thugs! a lot of thugs!" said He Shuai seriously.
