Chapter 262 The Goblins Suffered Again, Zong Shen Returned [Subscribe]
Mariel also heard about Zong Shen robbing goblins in the two days she joined.
Now Zong Shen happens to be away from the camp, and the men who followed him into the mountain were all by his side.
So Mariel thought about it and sent all the patrol troops in the territory. Except for the front-line combat team and the soldiers who were taken away by Zong Shen, almost all the soldiers in the territory passed.
This is not the end, in order to increase the confidence of the confrontation, Mariel notified Dutra again, and let him bring more than 200 kobolds to the confrontation scene.
Those kobolds are much stronger than farmers, but they are weaker than ordinary second-order warriors, and they still have a certain fighting power. Otherwise, they would not be able to compete with the powerful spider web monsters in the mines for decades.
More than 200 kobolds rushed to Vereesa's side under the leadership of the kobold chief Dutra, and surrounded the goblins.
Some kobold slingers took out their slings, the kobold prophet raised his staff, and the rest of the kobold warriors pulled out their knives, and they all grinned at these goblins.
The fine scales on his face all stood up, sending a signal of deterrence to the enemy.
Seeing this, the remaining five goblin airships also fell one after another, and a large number of goblin warriors emerged from them.
There were four teams of goblin crossbowmen, forty-eight people in total, four teams of goblin warriors, a team of goblin spellcasters, and a team of tall one-horned ogres armed with maces.
Those ogres were tall, and all of them were directly turned out from the special open-top pods of one of the airships. The closed pods of ordinary airships were only more than three meters high, which could not accommodate these cannibals with a height of more than five meters. Damn, these savage big men are extremely oppressive to everyone.
Both sides dispatched hundreds of people, even two or three hundred people. This scale of confrontation can be called very spectacular. Zong Shen's side has the upper hand in the number of people, because there are a large number of kobolds joining in. So there are more people.
Although Boswell knew what Zong Shen and Tasia, Luna, and Colby who accompanied him that day looked like, but he didn't know the others. Obviously, he didn't know the exact location of Zong Shen.
The strength shown now is only to show their determination to find someone, and it does not want any conflict to break out here.
The atmosphere seemed a little stalemate for a while. Boswell looked at everyone who came, and did not find Zong Shen and others. He guessed that he should have gone to the wrong place.
It looked at Vereesa, bowed slightly to Vereesa, who had always been riding on a prairie horse, and then turned around and waved to the goblin warriors behind him.
"All put away their weapons, this is all a misunderstanding!"
Hearing Boswell's words, the goblin crossbowman pressed his crossbow to the ground, the goblin warrior also put the dagger back into the sheath, the ogres slammed the mace on the ground, and stretched out their big hands to cover the dense These ogres have a certain wisdom, but their style is rough and has no concept of etiquette.
Overall, the goblins and the ogres they brought with them were somewhat disciplined.
Boswell nodded in satisfaction after seeing the performance of the goblins behind him.
Then he took out a portrait from his arms and unfolded it directly in front of Vereesa.
"My lord, I take the liberty to disturb you."
"First of all, allow me to introduce myself."
"We are traveling merchants of the Ratchet City Trading Company, which belongs to the Hot Sand Group."
As Boswell introduced, he pointed at the Ratchet City emblem on his chest.
Vereesa remained silent, still looking at Boswell with a serious expression.
The confrontation between the goblins just now was nothing but a provocation.
As an ancient hero, Vereesa knows how to deal with this problem with the most natural performance.
In this case, appropriately conveying your offended anger is the correct and natural response.
Sure enough, Boswell didn't care about Vereesa's attitude at all.
It has a polite smile on its face, but with its big funny nose, it shows that his smile is fake and malicious.
"Recently, we were robbed of a batch of supplies in this area, and we are now looking for the suspect."
"Have you ever seen this human man in the portrait?"
It gestured the portrait in its hand, and it was Zong Shen's sketch portrait. The overall painting skills were not bad, and it was similar to Zong Shen's six or seven points.
Vereesa just glanced at it lightly, and shook her head casually.
"I don't know this human, I just want to settle accounts with you!"
She said sharply, shaking her shoulders, turned the [Eagle War Bow] in front of her, grabbed it with one hand, and quickly pulled out an arrow with the other hand and placed it on it.
"Buzz!"
Vereesa pulled the bow and arrow into a full moon shape and aimed it at Boswell, and everyone could hear the contraction and trembling of the bowstring being pulled away.
This time, the atmosphere became tense again, and there was a "clanging" sound from behind Boswell, and the two sides once again entered a stage of tense armed confrontation.
"Cough cough..."
"My lord, we really don't mean to offend..."
Vereesa is a famous Windrunner Ranger, and the founder and commander of the Silver Covenant Legion. Her temperament made Boswell feel the pressure.
Especially in the face of Vereesa's bow and arrow, it gave it the illusion of facing death.
Naturally, he will not fight with Vereesa and the others here. Whether he can win or not is still a matter of choice. No matter the result, once the war begins, it will be more than worth the loss for Boswell.
Veresa also took Boswell's mind to make such a tough stance.
Sometimes being too big and weak is a flaw.
After a brief thought, Boswell resolutely chose to resign.
This area is really not peaceful. First, the saintess of the Church of Calamity Ravens inexplicably poured dirty water all over them, and was forced to compensate them for a sum of materials.
Now I come to a settlement to ask about the situation, but I have encountered hard problems again.
Even if the branch of the Ratchet Trading Company in the giant city of Rentates urgently sent reinforcements through the goblin airship, Boswell had no confidence to walk in this area.
He just wants to hurry up and get out of this terrifying settlement, and this terrifying elf woman!
"My lord, I apologize to you for our rudeness."
"Here is 2,000 Continental Universal Dinars, hoping to make up for our mistakes."
Boswell took out a purse and apologized with a low attitude.
Compared with armed conflict, 2,000 dinars is nothing, and now he just wants to settle Vereesa as soon as possible, stay away from this damn settlement, and find the real murderer who stole the supplies and took their money boxes. .
Seeing Vereesa shaking her head, the hand holding the arrow tightened a little more.
Boswell is in trouble now, two thousand Continental Dinars are already the limit that he can accept when he is stingy.
"Sir, how many Continental Dinars do you think is appropriate?"
It felt a dull pain in its head, when did their goblin travel merchants start to become so unpopular!
Boswell has already thought about it in his heart, if the other lion opens his mouth, then he and them will die!
At this moment, Veresa spoke softly.
"Five thousand!"
Hearing this number, Boswell only felt a little colic in his little heart.
It looked around, looked at the wolf-like warriors, and the large number of kobolds, gritted its teeth and nodded, touched it in its arms for a long time, took out five thousand Continental Universal Dinars, and placed it on the ground.
Vereesa then loosened the bowstring, withdrew the arrow, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well, you can leave now."
"Don't let me see you again!"
Vereesa waved her hand in disgust and said domineeringly.
On the contrary, Boswell just took such a set, did not dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly greeted his men to enter the airship.
It also entered the pod of an airship itself, and the six goblin airships lifted off again, drifting away towards the east of the territory.
"It's all gone, hand over the purse to Mariel."
"These damn goblins shouldn't be coming back."
"The goblin merchants are actually not bad for money. Five thousand dinars is enough to make them feel a deep impression on the flesh, and they will not retaliate."
Vereesa explained lightly, she had been dealing with goblins a thousand years ago, and she knew very well the temperament of these cunning guys, so she was just right in dealing with Boswell.
Everyone admired Veresa, and under her order, they dispersed and took their places.
Vereesa herself also rode a steppe horse back to the front line of the crypt.
About fifteen minutes later, Zong Shen and his party returned to the territory.
Mariel gave him the purse and told Zong Shen about Boswell's arrival before.
Listening to Zong Shen exclaimed, luckily, the group of goblins didn't give up on tracking him down. Silent was just waiting for reinforcements these days. Now the reinforcements will start searching for him in this area as soon as the reinforcements arrive.
He heard Vereesa's immediate response from Mariel, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"You and Vereesa did a great job!"
"Continue to watch out for the goblins to prevent them from returning again."
Zong Shen explained that now with Mariel as the logistics hero, he only needs to issue an order for many things.
After Mariel's purchase, all the building resources needed for the cafeteria and bathhouse have been gathered. However, there are still more than two days and a few hours before the end of the crypt challenge. Great construction.
After all, after the Crypt Challenge, all the buildings will have to be moved to the outside of the inner city, and a new plan will be carried out. Building any building now is a waste of time.
It's better to endure it, wait until the challenge is over, and then carry out building relocation and regional division in a unified manner, and then build new buildings according to the divided areas.
Other than that, nothing special happened in the camp recently.
All the farmers have entered the first-order training ground and started training under the leadership of San Fatty.
Zong Shen's farmer training program was quickly responded and implemented.
After the kobold chief Dutra returned from the confrontation scene with more than 200 kobolds, he began to consciously collect around the territory.
With their strength, even without the special protection of soldiers, they can still protect themselves against those crypt monsters. Of course, there will be occasional injuries, and everything is within an acceptable range.
In fact, this group of kobolds was quite a relief to Zong Shen. Whether they were working or defending the territory, they were very cooperative.
After Zong Shen and Mariel briefly exchanged the situation in the territory, he walked into the lord's small building, and he gave the accompanying mages and a team of wolves a three-hour break.
Let Favid take the newly added fire mage Doris and Pax around the territory.
Both Doris and Parks are actually not very interested in the development of the territory. In contrast, they are more interested in the magic palace, and can't wait to go in and meditate.
Without Zong Shen's explanation, Luna had already wandered around the territory with the three newly joined huntresses.
After introducing the general situation of the territory, they left the territory with the three of them, preparing to go to the front line of the crypt to see Vereesa.
Vereesa Windrunner was still very famous among the elves a thousand years ago.
Everything in the territory is still so orderly, and everything is moving forward according to the development trajectory that Zong Shen expected.
Right now, Zongshen's plans are basically arranged after the crypt challenge, such as the opportunity to harvest wool in Odo Village, how to obtain as many benefits as possible while capturing the demon's soul, such as resources, population, and equipment.
Another example is the layout in Dinan Village, and the trip to Bosang. In addition, it will soon be the time to recruit farmers once a week in Sitano Village. These are all tasks that Zong Shen needs to arrange after the crypt challenge.
In order to get more population as soon as possible, Zong Shen was going to go to Bosbon. He still had a lot of special items related to Baron Bezos. After finishing these things, it was time to continue exploring.
Zong Shen walked into the lord's small building and sat next to the sand table of the territory, thinking about the development plan and arrangements for a period of time in the future.
Of course, in addition to the full development, there are also new challenges that the lord system may bring after the crypt challenge that needs attention.
Zong Shen has now seen through the motives of the lord system. No matter what the challenge is, its essence is to accelerate the growth of the lord. As long as the lords can deal with it with heart, they can obtain the corresponding harvest in the challenge.
So Zong Shen didn't actually resist the challenge and didn't worry too much about it.
What interested him more was the type of challenge. He didn't know what the next challenge of the lord system was.
Is it a kill challenge like the Beast Boiling and Crypt Challenge?
Or some other kind of survival challenge?
