Chapter 203 203. Goblin in the Distance

The sunlight shines through the leaves, illuminating the gloomy land and leaving mottled marks.

A green figure flashed quickly through the woods, its sharp dragon claws deeply imprinted on the soft soil, and it gently passed over the rotten dead trees in front.

Fulin Castle, Swift Dragon Cavalry.

The captain of the scout team, Volme, hugged the velociraptor's thick neck to prevent himself from falling.

Although the harness was quite sophisticated, the velociraptor's movements were too jumpy.

If it were not for its super high mobility and ability to ignore terrain, as well as its docile character, ability to eat grass to satisfy hunger, and easy reproduction, the velociraptor would never have become the mainstream mount in the human world.

"Stop right there." Volme yelled. The Swift Dragon Lele braked suddenly, almost throwing the man out. It turned its head with an innocent and pure look.

When Volme got off, he lay directly on the ground and began to pant as if he was dead. The two swift dragon cavalrymen who were traveling with him slowly stopped beside him. They rolled off the swift dragon's back and loosened the reins without worry.

The Swift Dragon understands human nature and will not give up.

"Captain! Why are we here?"

".To investigate the goblins, it is of course necessary to come here. We left in a hurry during the clearing campaign three years ago and did not search too thoroughly. These filthy creatures seem to have reproduced again."

Volme looked up to distinguish the marks on the tree trunk. After three years, they were still clearly visible.

After a short rest, we set out again. After crossing the stream, we saw goblins moving around.

A bald green goblin was riding on a giant snow-white wolf, holding a dark gray, irregular, thick log in his hand.

This is ironwood, hard enough to rival iron!

Oak! Oak! The bald goblin warrior led dozens of goblins to pounce on the three people.

When the distance between the two sides was reduced to 20 meters, Volme raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

The giant snow-white wolf fell to the ground, and the goblin leader stumbled awkwardly and was shot by the other two.

Obviously, the three of them were the smaller party, but their firepower completely suppressed the enemy in an instant.

The goblins suffered massive casualties among their companions and fled in panic.

The three of them chased for a while.

"Captain, something is wrong! These goblins are well equipped! They don't look like a ragtag army."

"I see." Volme tightened the reins, forcing the Swift Dragon to stop. "Let's go back now. It's too dangerous to continue chasing. We are not familiar with the Swift Dragon yet, so it's easy for something to go wrong."

"Yes! Let's go back quickly!" Both of them agreed.

In the evening, information about the goblins was brought to Adventure Town.

It immediately caused quite a panic and shock.

The goblin incident a few years ago has already become a nightmare for many people according to the accounts of those who experienced it.

Scholar Is immediately expanded the number of night patrols and posted a bounty on the bulletin board. Any adventurer who knew the exact information about the goblin gathering place would receive a generous reward. The next day, the news reached Donggang City.

Zoe went to Lodel to ask about sending troops to clear out the rebellion.

"How many people are you going to send out?" Lodel asked directly.

"Three hundred people are enough. We now have firearms, and our combat power is far superior to that of the team three years ago." Zoe said confidently.

"There is no place in Donggang City that needs to be guarded for the time being. You can send 500 people and another 300 for logistics. Adventure Town and Huan Ge Town can each send 500 soldiers." Lodel said a string of numbers lightly.

"Thirteen hundred people! There's no need for that many!"

"I want to solve this problem once and for all! You should stay here as long as possible to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the goblins and conduct a large-scale hunt."

Zoe thought about it, nodded seriously and said, "Okay!"

The large-scale mobilization of the Guards Regiment did not have any impact on the prosperity of East Port City.

It was just that there was one more topic in the chat at the tavern. When would the warrior leader Zoe return victorious? No one could have imagined what would happen in the future.

As soon as Zoe led the team into the East Wasteland Forest, they were ambushed by goblins.

A group of goblin wolf riders attacked the camp at night.

The spellcaster Fei Yeti who accompanied the army summoned the light element to dispel the darkness. The guards and the goblins engaged in close combat. With the racial advantage of humans and firearms, they successfully controlled the situation.

Victory was achieved after suffering dozens of casualties.

Almost all of the goblin cavalry were killed, with only a few escaping.

"Sure enough, these goblins are all elite." Zoe checked the leather armor on the goblins, her face inexplicably gloomy.

There is no way a goblin tribe that has just begun to reproduce could have such advanced weapons.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Iron! Leather armor! Cavalry!

Third, they have already reached a fairly advanced level of craftsmanship, comparable to the technology of the human kingdom.

Suddenly, a guess came to Zoe's mind.

"Could it be that a goblin kingdom has appeared in the East Wasteland Forest?"

Second day of march.

The scouts found a goblin gathering place nearby and successfully eliminated them.

The third day of the march.

The Guards came to the hilly area where they had cleared out the goblins three years ago, and found a lot of goblin excrement and traces of life here.

But there were no living goblins.

The Guards Regiment stayed there for a week, but seeing no progress, Zoe ordered them to return.

From then on, the half-month-long goblin extermination campaign came to an end.

In the following month, Fulin Castle intensified its exploration of the East Wasteland Forest, but gained little intelligence.

The East Wasteland Forest is so vast that people can only roughly judge its area by sea route. It is no less than 50 million square kilometers of land.

The ecosystem is complex and there are some intelligent races, which is a very normal situation.

For example, in the territory, many elves come from the wild elf tribe in the East Wilderness Forest.

"I want to know the information about the tribe these goblin warriors belong to. Did you leave any of them alive?"

"Lord Lodel, we have captured some of them alive. These goblins are very brutal. Once we torture them, they will resolutely find an opportunity to commit suicide. They will shout, 'For the glory of the empire.'"

"Empire!?" Lodel suspected that she had heard it wrong and gave Zoe a confirming look.

Zoe said seriously, "Yes, it is the Goblin Empire. According to some intelligence obtained by Fei Yeti, a super-large goblin tribal alliance has appeared in the depths of the East Wasteland Forest, which is a month's journey away from us. The exact number is unknown, but considering the reproduction ability of the green-skinned goblins, it is not too exaggerated to say that the number is at the empire level."

"If that's the case, we're in big trouble!" Lodel murmured.

The population of the Empire was in the hundreds of millions, while the population of the Free Territory was just over 200,000, a huge disparity between the two.

If the Goblin Empire sends troops to invade, it may require the strength of the entire principality to deal with it.
