Chapter 53 52 Goblin King

Chapter 53 52. Goblin King

At night, when Lu Yu rode a rented horse and returned with thirty-seven goblin heads, he found that there were many more guards on the wall of Black Shield City, and torches were inserted all over the wall.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Lu Yu saw a group of knights running towards the Luotan Plain.

Under the city wall, a cart of lighting crystals was transported, and the magicians guarding the city carefully used magic power to check whether it was usable.

When handing the head to the auditor who specializes in recording data, Lu Yu glanced at other people's records.

"Maroney's record hasn't gone up at all. Didn't he go out today?"

The auditor was sent by Yasi III and was kinder to Lu Yu than to others.

Seeing that the others were far away, he whispered: "Nott and their supporters suffered heavy losses today."

"Not only that, no other noble's gains exceeded ten today."

"What happened?" Lu Yu squatted down and played with the goblin's head so that no one could see him talking.

The auditor also crouched down: "The Marquis has also seen that the alert level of Black Shield City is rising. Although the residents are told that the goblins are routinely swept away, in fact, today the goblins took the initiative to leave the underground palace and pursue The Knott family."

"If it weren't for the elite patrols of the Mithril adventurers and the Black Shield Knights, Maroni would be dead."

"Those goblins didn't know why they were crazy. They actually gathered together and swept around the Lotan Plains, chasing and killing people. Several groups of adventurers and nobles were intercepted by them at the entrance to the underground palace and tortured to death."

Hearing this, Lu Yu trembled.

Lulutis, who was about to fall asleep after a busy day, suddenly became energetic. She murmured in the private chat room: "No wonder we encountered a lot of shrimps all day long."

Sigrid also didn't expect that her casual words at that time were actually on point.

The goblins in the underground palace went out in large numbers and launched a revenge killing against the humans and aliens on the Lotan Plain, and this killing did not end until the sun went down.

Goblins haven't carried out large-scale operations on the ground for a long time. Today's situation is so abnormal that Black Shield City, who doesn't know why the goblins are going crazy, is ready for an siege.

But why the goblin suddenly went berserk, the auditor didn't understand.

Before I could rest in the house, there was a knock on the door.

The visitor was Andrew. He closed the door as soon as he entered, pulled Lu Yu to sit in the corner, and whispered: "The Marquis should not go out recently."

It was obvious that Andrew was in such a hurry that he even omitted basic etiquette.

"I need my head in exchange for materials, you know this." Lu Yu poured a glass of juice for Andrew, "Tell me what you know."

Only then did Lu Yu realize that Andrew was wearing armor to come to him.

"Before he fell into coma, Maroni only told Duke Guy that he had diverted water from the Lotan River and poured it into the underground palace. After that, the goblins rioted. The Duke, the Knights of the Black Shield, the Mithril Adventurers, and Scholars who study goblins are meeting to discuss why the act of watering causes such a big reaction from goblins."

Isn’t it difficult to understand that the seven armies were flooded and suffered heavy losses, and the goblins went berserk? Does this require a special meeting?

After questioning, Lu Yu learned that Maroni, a great smart man, thought that the three major lords guarding the front line were fools and could not think of such a clever trick as flooding.

In fact, he is the biggest fool.

It's not like the three major lords have poured water into the underground palace. The initial effect was very obvious, and many goblins drowned.

But with the development of the Goblin Underground Palace, it is no longer useful to simply flood an area. They can move away at any time.

Unless the three major lords intend to harm the many races on both sides of the Lotan River, breaking the embankment will cause no more damage and will also attract many races to share the same hatred with the goblins.

Even if the three major lords plan to exterminate their families and all the aliens in the Luotan Plain are sent to meet the God of Death, the Goblins are not afraid.

The underground palace already has a mechanism to block the flow of water. As long as it senses the intrusion of water flow, the boulder will fall and cut off the flow of water.

A race that has been entrenched in the Lotan Plain for nearly thirty years has built a huge palace complex underground. How could they not have a plan to deal with various emergencies?

"The Goblin's actions seem to be about to start a large-scale siege. My cavalry team should not be able to return to Black Shield City in the near future. If the Marquis insists on leaving, please be more careful. I can only inform Black Shield An acquaintance of the Knights, ask him to pay more attention to the area of ​​the underground palace you explore."

Lu Yu has always had a good impression of Andrew.

He has all the excellent qualities of a young man, including a sense of justice, kindness and excellent moral character.

This was also the reason why Lu Yu didn't act arrogant in front of Andrew. He even allowed some flaws in his personality to ask Andrew not to be too reserved in front of him and to be a little more relaxed.

As soon as he arrived home, Andrew came to visit immediately and put on his armor, which proved that he was waiting for him.

Only by delivering the information to him personally can he leave with peace of mind.

The script of Yas III does not have these arrangements, and Andrew's doing this should be due to that beautiful lie.

He admired Lu Yu for being a traveler who traveled everywhere and took risks.

Because this is what Andrew wants to do but can't do.

"Why do you want to come to the front line? You left the Eastern Territory not long ago, didn't you?"

Andrew was silent as he opened the door to leave. After a long time, he turned around and looked at Lu Yu with helplessness in his eyes.

"What else can I do? Stay at home and wait for others to arrange my marriage and put me in the position of the head of the family?"

"Marquis..."

"Call me Lu Yu."

"..."

"Lu Yu, as a lord and a pioneer, if one day your child chooses a path you don't approve of and wants to go for it, will you agree?"

Seeing that Lu Yu didn't answer, Andrew sighed.

"I want to make my doll well and learn all kinds of magic to make her alive."

"I heard that there are powerful magicians who can give souls to dolls, so that they are no longer just a body that obeys orders..."

"But my father hopes that I can become the head of the Turner family and take the family to fly... He said that it is my responsibility. The rise and fall of the family depends on my thoughts."

"Compared with you wandering around and trying to find a way back to Seris after all the hardships, I am like a coward, because I came to the front line this time just to escape. "

Lu Yu said: "You can't keep running away."

Andrew's mouth twitched, he hesitated to speak, and said bitterly after a long time: "Yes, after coming here, the goblin riots began. As a member of the Knights, I must stand up. It is my duty to protect the people of Yas."

"If I had not died in the battle and had accumulated merits, I would have been promoted to the highest-ranking person in the Turner family."

"I have been trained by the family and they are eagerly expecting me, so I can only respond to their expectations." Andrew said with a smile.

Andrew pushed open the door: "Thank you, Marquis, for allowing me to call you by your name. My companions and I have hunted 31 goblin heads for you in our spare time. Someone will secretly deliver them later."

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.

Lulutis looked at the direction where Andrew left and sighed: "He is really not suitable to be the head of the family."

Lu Yu agreed with Lulutis' words. After all, after becoming the head of the family, the qualities they admired would be gradually eroded.

Sigrid, who went out to buy food, came back and added some details for Lu Yu.

Today, because of the goblin riot, the family elites carried by the nobles were basically damaged, and the family heirs were skinned on the spot by the goblins.

A group of nobles including Maroni were seriously injured and unconscious, and it is said that many of them may have amputations.

Because most of them were hit by the goblin's blow arrows, and the toxins in the blow arrows were not removed for a long time, causing the wounds to rot and almost visible bones.

Lu Yu never expected that this group of nobles would have such a selfless spirit, using their bodies to help him pull away the hatred of the goblin army, allowing him to complete the harvest easily.

Moved, is this the spirit of nobility?

Maroni, who ranked first on the list, had a total of 112 heads.

Lu Yu himself captured 37 heads, plus the 31 heads Andrew gave him, a total of 68 heads.

Most nobles will not be able to continue hunting in a short period of time, so doesn't that give him an opportunity to easily overtake?

Lu Yu decided to observe for a day tomorrow to see if the goblins had any more unusual movements, and to see how far the patrol area of ​​the Knights of Black Shield City could reach, and whether it could cover the entrance of the underground palace where he was.

He was not a reckless person, and he must seize this God-given opportunity steadily.

At the same time, in the palace deep in the Goblin Underground Palace of Lotan Plain, the goblins kneeling on the ground received the order and retreated tremblingly.

The Goblin King, with dry skin and a withered appearance, trembled and moved forward with his old body supported by his staff.

The only Goblin wizard left was originally meditating by the stream transformed from groundwater. Hearing the sound of the staff hitting the ground, he quickly stood up and supported the Goblin King.

Who would have thought that the Goblin King, who destroyed Duke Guy's face, presided over the construction of the Goblin Underground Palace, and forcibly took a piece of land from the Kingdom of Yas, was about to run out of energy.

Who would have thought that this person, who was feared by the Kingdom of Yas and was suspected to be a gold-level Goblin King and Goblin Archmage, only had the strength of Mithril, and this strength was constantly declining over time.

Goblins could not escape the fate of exhausting their lifespan.

Most goblins did not live long. If they could not break through themselves and complete their transformation, fifty years old would be the limit of their lives.

"Chacha... the cunning humans have already noticed it."

The Goblin Mage named Chacha suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Why are you surprised? You have already experienced their viciousness and cunning." The Goblin King scolded Chacha while panting.

"Now they are not sure, so they chose to fill only one place with water to force me to show up."

"No matter how they guessed that I was going to die, we must make it impossible for them to be firm in this guess."

The Goblin King's dark eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Humans always measure us by their own ideas. A tribe that has lost its king will not easily start a war. Hehehe... Take your people and prepare for the siege."

"Since there is not enough food to distribute, let's fight a war with humans."

"It's time to filter out the weak ones."
