Chapter 712 Goblin!
"Goblin!"
"It's the Goblins! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Such a big commotion over there was naturally discovered by all the soldiers on duty.
When several elven soldiers saw the situation over there, they immediately recognized the origins of the group of creatures in the distance.
The group of creatures lurking in the wilderness were none other than the goblins, whose passage had just been deprived by the humans and beastmen.
As the alarm bell sounded, the soldiers in the camp rushed out of the tents with weapons in hand.
"What's going on, Gervase?"
At this time, Olde and Alice also ran out and asked Gervis.
"Just now, there were goblins ambushing on that grassy slope, and I discovered them."
"Goblins, why are they here in the Flame Grassland? They usually gather in the Cliff Forest!"
Olde asked curiously, he had already seen the short goblins fleeing in the distance.
"I don't know either, but let's catch them and ask them now!"
Gervis also shook his head and added.
Now that it was pointed out that it was a goblin, he was not too worried.
The goblins' fighting power is not that good, and they are extremely timid. It can be seen from here that I only released three fireballs and they fled in all directions.
What makes the Goblins truly outstanding is their expertise in creating various sophisticated objects or in the field of architecture.
The most glorious record about the goblins is that when the catastrophe came two hundred years ago, the goblins built various fortresses on various defense lines.
"OK!"
Alder had no objection either.
Since the goblins have the intention to attack them, they naturally need to find out.
"Nadine! Take all your subordinates and capture these goblins now!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Nadine immediately took the order and quickly began to organize the Rose Knights. A moment later, more than 400 cavalrymen rushed out of the camp gate.
The goblins were really timid. Nadine and others rode their war horses and charged towards the field. When the goblins saw the large number of cavalry rushing towards them, they not only did not resist, but also just remembered to escape.
After about an hour, most of the goblins fleeing in the field were captured!
Finally, there were about seven or eight hundred goblins tied up densely in front of Gervis' camp!
In addition, Nadine and others also brought back three small catapults.
"Goblin, why did you attack my camp?!"
Gervis looked at the catapults, then looked away after a moment. He walked forward alone and started asking questions while observing the goblins.
Only then did Gervis see the true appearance of these goblins.
Goblins are short, have green skin, and have long pointed ears. Except for the lack of fangs and thick hair, their overall appearance looks quite similar to orcs.
As soon as Gervis finished asking the question, the group of goblins looked at each other, then simply lowered their heads, and no one answered Gervis at all!
Seeing the goblins' reactions, Gervis looked around among them, and finally saw a goblin in armor. He immediately winked at Nadine.
Nadine immediately understood what he meant, and walked over and picked up the goblin with one hand.
"Ah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Human, I say! I'm willing to tell you everything!"
This armored goblin was at the high silver level. After being caught by Nadine, he was frightened to death and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Tell me! What's your name? And why are you attacking my camp?!"
Seeing that the other party begged for mercy and was willing to cooperate, Gervis gestured to Nadine, and Nadine placed the goblin in front of Gervis.
So Gervis immediately began to ask questions.
"My name is Chachar! We are here to attack you humans under orders!"
"Ordered to attack us? Why?"
Gervis was a little puzzled. If the beastmen came to attack them, it would be fine, but the goblins had no grudges against them, so it didn't make sense for them to attack them!
"Because you humans and beastmen have taken away our goblin tribe's passage quota, His Majesty the King asked us to come to the Flame Grassland to look for human caravans and wait for an opportunity to attack..."
The goblin named Chachar did not dare to hide it and immediately told the real reason.
In fact, when this goblin came to the Flame Prairie, he did not have a clear target to attack, as long as it was a human.
Because the humans and beastmen deprived the goblins of their last passage spot, the goblins wanted to take revenge.
Goblins are naturally timid and not good at fighting. They naturally do not have the courage to go to the Holy Alliance or the Beast King's Court for revenge.
So they finally set their sights on the flaming grassland.
Although the Flame Grassland has been abandoned, there are still many human caravans that come here to harvest the Flame Grass and sell it back to the Holy Alliance.
The strength of those caravans who would do such a business with not very high profits can be imagined. A caravan that has a few pieces of silver is considered to be very powerful.
And such a target is exactly the most suitable target for Goblin to take revenge on.
This Chachar is the leader of a tribe of goblins and was sent by their king to carry out this mission.
There are more than a thousand people in total this time, and they have been wandering in this fiery grassland for more than half a month.
This evening I happened to see Gervis setting up camp here.
So after night fell, these goblins sneaked up and wanted to attack the camp of Gervis and his men.
In the goblin's opinion, the number of people in a camp of this size would not exceed 600 at most, making it the weakest group among the human caravans harvesting flame grass.
Because the caravans that harvest the flame grass often have thousands of people.
Of course, among those caravans of thousands of people, it would be considered strong if there were a hundred titled knights. The others were mostly ordinary humans without weapons, and they were just tools for harvesting the flame grass.
Therefore, the goblins believed that there were at most fifty or sixty titled knights in Gervis' camp.
But they launched a surprise attack at night, and just as they were waiting for the catapults to be set up and create a gap in the fence of Gervis' camp, they were discovered by Gervis.
Then Gervis released three huge fireballs at their heads in an instant.
Chachar was quite knowledgeable and knew that it was impossible for a human magician to release three fireballs in an instant. He immediately believed that there were at least three magicians in the camp.
And it goes without saying that a team that can be equipped with three magicians must contain some tough guys.
So Chachar immediately shouted and started to flee with his men.
In the end, two legs were naturally no match for four legs, and these goblins were tied up with ropes and strung back by Nadine and others like rabbits.
"So, I am still in trouble!"
After listening to this, Gervis finally understood that he was taking the blame for the Orcs and the Holy Alliance.
Fortunately, the goblins' fighting power was very weak, so tonight it only disturbed their sleep, and no fighting took place at all.
"Alice, Prince Alder, you can come out now!"
After learning the details, Gervis shouted to Alice and Olde behind him.
Previously, Olde said that the elves and goblins usually have a good relationship, so it would be best for them to avoid the interrogation.
So all the goblins could see just now were humans.
"Elves! You are elves! Elves, please save me! This is a misunderstanding. We are goblins!"
Upon hearing this, Alice and Olde walked out of the crowd and came to Gervis' side.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, when the Chachar Goblin saw the appearance of Alice and Olde, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Shut up!"
Seeing the goblin yelling at Alice and Olde, Nadine kicked the goblin on the butt, making him dare not say anything and could only look at Alice and Olde.
"Prince Alder, what do you think we should do with these goblins?"
Gervis looked directly at Alder, wanting to hear his advice first.
When Olde heard Gervis' question, he glanced at Chachar on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Gervis in a low voice.
"Since these goblins have chosen the wrong target, it stands to reason that if we were the elves, we would choose to let them go!"
"Because the Goblins made great sacrifices for our Elf King City when the catastrophe came!"
"but……"
Having said that, Alder changed the subject and continued.
"But goblins are natural builders. Their talent for building tools and cities is just like the talent of dwarves forging weapons and armor!"
"So, I suggest you take them back and let them build Stormwind City for you! Then release them later."
Gervis is his daughter's husband, and at this moment they share the same fate.
So Olde directly chose to stand on Gervis' side and did not persuade Gervis to release these goblins!
"Thank you, Prince Olde! Then we will just do this later..."
After hearing what Olde said, Gervis naturally felt reluctant to let these goblins go.
However, in order to save the face of the elves and goblins, Gervis needed to keep this matter separate from the elves.
After the two men finished their discussion, Gervis immediately spoke loudly to Olde.
"Impossible! These goblins attacked my camp. If I hadn't discovered it early, they would have caused great damage!"
"Grevith! The goblins have a very friendly relationship with us elves. Please let them go for Alice and me's sake!"
Alder responded immediately.
"Impossible! I will send them back to the Holy Alliance and let the Holy Alliance Council decide how to deal with them! Or sell them directly to slave owners!"
"Ah! We don't want to go to the Holy Alliance. I don't want to be a slave! Elves, please save us!"
As soon as he heard Gervis' words, Nachachar screamed.
The best outcome for them if they were captured and taken to the Holy Alliance would be to be forced to work as coolies, working day and night for the human race until they died of old age. So naturally they were unwilling to go to the Holy Alliance.
"Grevith! You are my husband, and these goblins are allies of our elves. Can you please bypass them for my sake?"
Alice also heard the whispers between Gervis and her father, and immediately pretended to speak up.
After hearing Alice's words, Gervis looked conflicted. He pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Since you've pleaded for them, Alice, I can choose not to send them to the Holy Alliance! But they have to work for me for two years!"
Gervis' tone was firm!
"this……"
Alice looked embarrassed, and finally looked at that Chachar and spoke to him.
"Goblin, this Gervis is a human king. Although he promised not to send you to the Holy Alliance for my sake!"
"However, he wants you to work for him for two years before he will give you your freedom. He is building a city outside the Sacred Forest. He probably wants you to build that city for him!"
"I wonder if you guys are willing?"
"Yes, we do!"
When he heard that it would take two years to build a city, he immediately nodded vigorously, thinking that it was better than being sent to the Holy Alliance to be a slave day and night.
"Grevith, the goblin has already agreed to your request! But I have a request, I hope you can agree to it!"
Alice turned her head and looked at Gervis!
"Alice, go ahead!"
"These goblins can work for you for two years, but you cannot abuse them during this period because they are allies of our elves, okay?"
Alice said seriously.
"Sure! As long as they don't run away, I'll pay them!"
Gervis nodded immediately!
As the two of them sang in unison, Chachar was almost moved to tears by Alice.
He felt that he was lucky today to meet an elf who was so kind to the goblins!
