Chapter 133 Progress
The Goblin King stood in front of his position, pacing fiercely, and from time to time he whipped the ground with the whip in his hand, making a series of snapping sounds.
His eyes swept over the shamans and ogres kneeling on the ground. The shamans were all lying on the ground trembling and waiting for their fate. Although they had learned some spells, they still lacked some power to speak.
Today's situation was worse than yesterday. Three hunting teams wasted a day and didn't even have enough food to fill their stomachs.
"Waste, waste, all waste!"
There are so many mouths in the camp that they can't just sit there and wait, right?
The Goblin King looked at them viciously.
"King... calm down, there is no food around here anymore, unless we go further away."
The shamans with the hunting team had a hard time saying their conclusions to the Goblin King. They could only find two or three kittens in a day's trek. If they really wanted to get a lot of food, they had to attack other settlements, but they couldn't afford to offend them.
Those were all ferocious large monsters, and some were even larger than wild ogres. How could they dare to provoke them? They were very cautious when entering their hunting areas.
"I don't want to hear your explanations. Why there was food before, but now there is none!"
The Goblin King whipped the ogres hard. When he found that they dared not resist, he whipped them harder.
He didn't dare to whip the shamans. If they died, it would cause too much loss to the camp. He could only beat the ogres who dared not resist to vent his anger.
"Humph... If you can't bring back food, you will all be food for me!"
According to several wise men in the camp, they caught river fish in the river, which barely met part of their food needs. They used a lot of wood to build a wooden dam, cast nets on it, and blocked the fish in the river.
That could provide them with a lot of food, and then relying on this dam, they could also grow a lot of crops and divert water to cut off the source. This kind of self-interest thing was normal for them.
The competition they thought was natural was like this.
The shamans begged again, they could not beat the Goblin King, the strong were respected, this was also their racial nature, they admired the strong and bullied the weak, if the strong wanted them to die, they had to die.
"King, we will definitely bring back enough food here!"
The Goblin King calmed down a little and turned to look at them.
"Once? Then I'll give you another chance. Yesterday you said you could definitely do it today, and the day before yesterday you said you could definitely do it yesterday."
The Goblin King tilted his body, grinned with broken teeth, yelled loudly, and scolded his men.
"You promised me that you would definitely solve those forest spiders! Then what? I dare not go out to collect these days! Solve? Where to solve it?"
The shamans were silent one by one.
Those spiders did not listen to their communication at all. As long as they approached, those spiders would run away like flying and escape.
They did not give them any chance at all, and then attacked their fruit-collecting team as usual the next day. They could only let the fruit-collecting team go out by strengthening their weapons.
They could only bite the bullet and change the subject, and promised.
"King, we will definitely bring back enough food for the territory tomorrow. The animals around here must have been caught. As long as we go a little further, there will be enough food."

"Swish!"
The bayonet sank into the flesh.
The last wailing goblin shaman spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was no sound.
The soldiers in gray clothes shot the trolls and goblins one by one, confirming their death.
The thick skin of the ogre made the bayonet seem a little weak, but the lead bullet could carry huge kinetic energy to tear the thick skin at close range and send the deadly bullet into the target's body.
This long and narrow mountain road was densely scattered with green corpses, as well as a large number of ironwood spears and wooden round shields, and even some wooden bows. These goblins were no longer the guys with only rusty short knives and short swords before. They were holding simple weapons that could fight against human troops on the front battlefield.
Then they all wailed and fell to the ground under the dense volleys of the musketeers, and were drowned by the black waves rushing out of the forest.
The time had come, and they began to explore outside.
"Do we want to collect their bodies?"
The soldiers asked the sergeant who was standing aside and watching them execute the plan.
"No, gather the bodies together and burn them, don't let them see how we fight. Collect all the weapons and destroy them together."
The sergeant, who was appointed as a temporary non-commissioned officer, exhaled.
He planned to put these alien corpses here to terrify other goblins and trolls who found this place. Let them be afraid, this is a display of strength.
The weapons must be destroyed to prevent the other party from reclaiming them.
He was appointed to be responsible for the most difficult part of this task, attacking the hunting team that set out from the camp. Their hunting team had ten wild ogres and nearly a hundred little goblins, as well as five shamans or mages.
There were three such hunting teams, scattered and exploring from three directions, up, left and down.
The musketeers targeted the hunting teams that were exploring downwards, and in order to prevent them from going too deep and accidentally discovering the territory, the musketeers swept away all the prey in the lower half, and through hunting and driving, this area became a vacuum zone for animals.
They will not focus on the lower half of the area until they find it difficult to get food.
There are dense forests here, and the sound attenuation is very fast in such dense forests. As long as the distance is 20 kilometers, the sergeant guarantees that no one can hear the sound of their firing.
They cannot let any member of the hunting team escape, and bring the information back to their camp.
They are mainly targeting those small green goblins. The big ones can't run away, and those taller ones with red patterns on their bodies will not run away either. They will think of resisting.
Those few resistances mean that they can no longer run away.
Only those small goblins who want to bury their heads in the soil when they hear the sound, run very fast.
They slipped into the forest in an instant, without even a shadow.
In order to deal with these fast-running goblins, the sergeant used a large number of troops on the flanks of the hunting team. The soldiers and scout hunting spiders had already laid a tight interception net on the road they had to take to return to the camp. They would only run into this wall of death if they returned along the starting path.
Carrying these excellent scouts, they had an amazing information advantage in the forest. Information and speed were their keys to victory.
The camp hunting team had only two legs. The trolls and goblins had no power to resist them. They could not run faster than them, and they could not compete with the musketeers in battle.
As the soldiers confirmed the deaths one by one with their bayonets, their actions were successfully completed.
One twentieth of the manpower of the alien camp was handed over here.
They also lost 27 scout hunting spiders.
These scout hunting spiders covered with thick chitin shells had a larger body and thicker shell than other hunting spiders due to secondary growth. But in single combat, they are only slightly stronger than goblins, and their combat ability is not particularly outstanding.
A mage's fireball can kill them, and the hammer of the ogre will kill them as long as they are touched.
If the same number of them encounter the shield swordsman head-on, they will die.
The loss is within their acceptable range.
These fragile reconnaissance units are put into frontal combat and fight hand-to-hand combat for the territory's musketeers. Losses are almost certain.
These scout hunting spiders are originally used as replacement units for normal melee troops to delay targets.
At this time, the scout hunting spiders fully utilized their concealment and surprise attack capabilities, which led to their seemingly good results.
60 musketeers and 300 scout hunting spiders ambushed the mixed forces of 200 ogres and goblins and won a great victory.
They do not have an overall force advantage, but local force advantages can be created.
The sergeant watched the soldiers pick up the bodies of the hunting spiders, put them together, and ignite the flames, letting the flames devour the bodies of these war beasts.
When the flames die out, all that's left is white ash.
