Chapter 141 Goblin Army
Elite goblins, this was the first time Mu Hua saw elite goblins in person.
The so-called elites are monsters whose levels and combat power cannot be measured according to conventional cognition.
Outside a town full of orc style, a city wall more than ten meters high surrounds the town.
The seemingly rough city wall is condensed with a strong smell of earth elements.
Giant trees, earth and stone are the main materials for building city walls, but the strong earth element indicates that this kind of city wall has a defensive ability beyond the material and good element resistance.
There is a magic halo above the city wall that protects the sky, and deer-repelling thorns about ten meters wide are laid under the city wall.
Mu Hua used the detection magic he just krypton to check, and there are many magic traps called "critical mines" hidden in the thorn area.
Not only humans can build cities, monsters can also have fun.
Magic scrolls, crossbows, torches, it is impossible for monsters to only drop magic items for humans and not use them themselves. Next to the Goblin Kingdom is the Mechanical Forest, where there are machine guns and artillery, and maybe demons driving magic mechas.
Of course, just like humans, demons playing with those things, fighting a few battles, are just as poor as wanting to sell pants.
Although the goblin town in front of them is small, it has all the necessary city defense measures.
Mu Hua and Taibesha stood in an open space a hundred meters away from the city wall. Forty black-armored skeleton generals stood in front of them in formation. Zhou Yi shook his snake tail and paced beside Mu Hua like a lion and tiger.
Forty skeleton undead, Mu Hua's skeleton summoning has been upgraded to LV40. It's not that he doesn't want to upgrade anymore, but the skeleton summoning is stuck again.
LV40 skeleton summoning actually requires summoning skeleton warhorses as a prerequisite skill to continue to upgrade.
Although he has the skill stone for summoning skeleton warhorses, Mu Hua's spiritual attribute is 193 at this time. If he wants to use that skill stone, he will probably need Tuesday to "tick" him for two more days.
However, facing the city wall in front of him, even if he can really summon a death knight, it will be difficult to get an advantage. Mu Hua is not anxious or frustrated about this.
In addition to the conspicuous crossbow and stone throwing equipment, there are naturally monsters on the city wall.
The short goblins have daggers on their waists and hold longbows. Just looking at the city wall in the direction of the city gate in front of Mu Hua, there are probably more than 200 goblin archers.
The archery skills of low-level goblins are not that strong, but the arrows of bows and arrows are basically the same as the exorcism bullets of human guns.
Even if these goblins do not have bow and arrow combat skills, no one can say what materials their arrows are made of, not to mention that the arrows themselves can be made and sharpened according to the specifications of the equipment.
If we make arrows out of the fangs and bone spurs of high-level monsters, even if they are shot by low-level goblins, the penetration of the arrows can still easily turn medium- and high-level monsters into hedgehogs within the range.
In addition to these low-level goblins, there are more than 100 big goblins, all equipped with turquoise jade leather armor and holding "assassin" machetes that look like hatchets.
Jade armor and assassins are both fairly mature standard equipment in hell.
Although it is only low-level equipment, this armor is enough for big goblins to charge on the battlefield with level 4 or 5 exorcist bullets.
Bear goblins wearing heavy metal armor, standard platinum armor, standard eagle shields, and standard broad-bladed heavy swords.
Among the goblin mages holding various staffs and wearing robes, you can occasionally see magic gems hanging around their necks.
The so-called elite goblins, a group of goblin troops are lying here.
Compared with the earlier "bandits", the goblins here are just like the difference between regular soldiers and farmers.
What made Mu Hua feel most outrageous was that in addition to a goblin centurion holding two swords on the city wall, he also saw four or five cat girls sitting on the shoulders of ogres.
That's right, cat girls, a rare group of high-value and intelligent beastmen.
They have cat ears and tails, human-like body and appearance, and because both females and males have very delicate feminine faces, people are used to calling them cat girls.
They look weak, but they have a strong physique like lions and tigers, are good at close combat, and the upper species can master high-level strengthening magic.
Cat girls have higher growth potential than goblins, but since they can mix with goblins, I think these cat girls should be cat cubs who are not that strong.
"Quack~Quack~" Several ravens flying over the goblin town were blown to pieces by the magic cast by the goblin wizard.
"How is it?" Taibesha asked Mu Hua.
"More than a thousand low-level goblins, about five hundred archers, five hundred big goblins, three hundred bear goblins, and less than a hundred goblin wizards."
"A small number of ogres, gnolls, and black dogs. Damn, there are also hundreds of wolves. I didn't see the goblin general, but I saw five giant bats. Tsk!" Mu Hua frowned and told Taibesha what the raven observed from the sky.
At this time, the atmosphere between Mu Hua and the goblins on the city and outside the city was rather weird.
The goblins closed the city gates and did not attack Mu Hua. Mu Hua had no intention of driving the black-armored skeleton general to charge the city. The two sides just stared at each other.
However, Mu Hua felt that he could not defeat this group of goblins, and the goblin captain on the opposite side probably felt that it was not worthwhile to fight with Mu Hua.
The two sides were just standing in a confrontation and guarding against each other, but no one was willing to take the initiative to start a fight.
The goblin captain was a high-level monster, and their brains were much smarter than those of the middle and low-level goblins.
Most monsters like to harm humans because they can get more emotional energy from humans, but if the cost-effectiveness is too low, they often don't want to pay attention to humans.
The reason why Mu Hua always calls the energy generated by extreme emotions negative energy is because it is easier to create negative emotions.
Fear, jealousy, greed, color domain, anger, it is easy and quick to create. Monsters are also better at obtaining this energy by harming other creatures.
In fact, monsters also hate the undead, because the cost-effectiveness of fighting the undead is too low, and the undead don't have anything they need.
A necromancer with a group of black-armored skeleton generals, fighting head-on, suffered a lot of losses.
There are only two humans on the opposite side. What's the point of fighting? Are they helping that damn hellhound to kill its master?
The goblin captain didn't think Zhou Yi would be Mu Hua's follower, but humans who could mix with hellhounds should not be easy to deal with. At this time, the goblin captain on the opposite side probably just wanted Mu Hua to get out of here quickly.
"Are you sure there is no goblin general?" Taibesha asked Mu Hua after the goblins on the wall killed the raven and then stopped moving.
"I can't confirm it. There is a big tent inside and several caves. There seems to be a mineral vein here. Forget it, let's go. I'll come and see it myself later." Mu Hua said to Taibesha.
The goblins here are quite troublesome. It is difficult to evaluate the real combat power of this kind of goblin formation. It is not uncommon to see a bear goblin with a level of two or three hundred.
Especially the wolf and the giant bat. The former can allow the goblins to form cavalry running in the dense forest, and the latter can be an air force when equipped with a goblin wizard.
If it were him, he could try to provoke a few waves with summoned beasts, but since Taibesha was following him, Mu Hua was a little worried that something might happen to Taibesha.
"Don't mess around. There may be more than one camp like this nearby. They also have giant bats. Be careful not to attract encirclement and suppression." Taibesha hurriedly advised.
"Master, if there is a mineral vein, there must be other monster groups to defend here. At least there will be a goblin general paying attention to this place." Zhou Yi followed Mu Hua and slowly retreated.
The mineral veins in the courtyard are also resources for monsters. Not only can they make equipment, but the excavated ore can also be sent back to hell and used as sacrifices for their next projection.
"Well, should we report the mineral veins to the union? Or should we talk to Samantha?" Facing Taibesha's persuasion, Mu Hua nodded perfunctorily.
"Let's not report it yet. There's no need to tell Samantha."
"We don't know what kind of mineral vein it is, and it's too early. Even if we take it down, we will definitely be counterattacked by monsters. It's too expensive to defend the mineral vein now." Taibesha thought.
Reporting the situation of the mineral vein to the union can gain union contribution, but without solid evidence and not knowing what kind of mineral vein it is, the contribution points given will not be too many.
Since Taibesha is not greedy for these contribution points, Mu Hua didn't say much.
Mineral veins are not something Mu Hua can touch for the time being. While talking, facing the direction of the city wall, Mu Hua and Taibesha slowly retreated.
Since both sides feel that it is not worthwhile to deal with each other, let's stop staring at each other.
Following Mu Hua, under the gaze of the goblin centurion on the city wall, a group of black-armored skeleton generals took heavy steps, like ghosts disappearing in the forest grass.
