Chapter 53
Chapter 52: Goblin King
In the evening, when Lu Yu rode a rented horse and returned with thirty-seven goblin heads, he found that there were many more guards on the city wall of Black Shield City, and torches were also inserted into the city wall.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Lu Yu saw a group of knights rushing towards the Luotan Plain.
Under the city wall, a carload of lighting crystals was delivered, and the magician guarding the city carefully used magic to check whether it was available.
When handing over the head to the reviewer who specializes in recording data, Lu Yu glanced at the records of others.
“Maroni’s record hasn’t gone up at all. Didn’t he go out today?”
The reviewer was sent by Yas III, and he was kinder to Lu Yu than to others.
Seeing that the others were far apart, his lips moved: “Nott and their fans lost a lot today.”
“Not only that, but no other nobles have won more than ten today.”
“What happened?” Lu Yu crouched down and fiddled with the goblin’s head, so that no one could see him talking.
The reviewer also crouched down: “The marquis also saw that the alert level of Black Shield City is rising. Although the residents were told that the goblins were routinely swept away, in fact, today the goblins took the initiative to leave the underground palace and pursue them. The Knott family.”
“If it wasn’t for the mithril adventurer and the elite patrolling of the Black Shield Knights teaming up, Maroney would be dead.”
“Those goblins don’t know what’s going on, but they gathered together and swept around the Luotan Plain, chasing and killing people. Several groups of adventurers and nobles were stopped by them at the entrance of the underground palace, and they were tortured to death.”
Hearing this, Lu Yu was shocked.
Lulutis, who was about to fall asleep after a busy day, suddenly regained her senses. She murmured in the private chat room, “No wonder we ran into a bunch of little shrimp all day.”
Sigrid also didn’t expect that she would say something casually at that time.
The goblins in the underground palace were dispatched in large numbers to launch a revenge killing on the human and alien races on the Luotan Plain, and the killing did not end until the sun went down.
Goblins haven’t launched a large-scale operation on the ground for a long time. Today’s situation is so abnormal that Black Shield City, which does not know why the goblins are crazy, is ready to deal with the siege.
But why the goblins suddenly ran wild, the auditors didn’t understand.
Before I could rest in the house, there was a knock on the door.
The person who came 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 can be seen that Andrew is very urgent, and he even omits the basic etiquette.
“I need my head in exchange for materials, you know that.” Lu Yu poured Andrew a glass of juice, “Tell me what you know.”
Only then did Lu Yu realize that Andrew was looking for him in armor.
“Before Maroney fell into a coma, he just told Duke Guy that he had drawn water from the Luotan River and poured it into the underground palace. After that, the goblins rioted. The Duke and the Knights of the Black Shield, the Mithril Adventurer, and Scholars who study goblins are meeting to discuss why the act of watering caused such a huge response from goblins.”
The Seventh Army was flooded, and the losses were heavy. Isn’t it hard to understand the goblin rampage? Does this require a special meeting?
After inquiring, Lu Yu realized that Maroney, a clever man, thought that the three lords guarding the front line were fools, and he could not think of such a clever plan as flooding.
In fact, he was the biggest fool.
It’s not that the three lords have not poured water into the underground palace. The initial effect was very obvious, and many goblins drowned.
But with the development of the Goblin Dungeon, it is useless to simply flood an area, and they can move away at any time.
Unless the three major lords intend to harm the many races on both sides of the Luotan River, the way of breaking the embankment that can no longer be damaged will cause many races and goblins to share the same hatred.
Even if the three lords plan to be wiped out, even if the aliens in the Luotan Plain are not left, they will be sent to see the **** of death, and the goblins are not afraid.
In the underground palace, there has long been a mechanism to block the flow of water. As long as the intrusion of the water flow is sensed, the boulder will fall and cut off the flow of water.
A race that has been entrenched in the Luotan Plain for nearly 30 years has built a huge group of palaces underground. How could they have no plans to deal with various emergencies.
“The goblin’s move seems to start a large-scale siege battle. My cavalry team should not be able to return to Black Shield City recently. If the marquis insists on accident, please be careful. I can only tell Black Shield. An acquaintance of the Knights, let him pay more attention to the dungeon area you explore.”
Lu Yu has always had a good impression of Andrew.
He has all the excellent qualities of a young man, full of sense of justice, kindness, and excellent character.
This is also the reason why Lu Yu didn’t behave arrogantly in front of Andrew. He even allowed a few flaws in his personality, so that Andrew would not be too cautious in front of him and let go a little.
As soon as he got home, Andrew visited immediately and put on his armor, which was enough to prove that he was waiting for him.
Only by sending the information to him in person can he leave with confidence.
Yas III’s script couldn’t arrange these things. Andrew’s reason for doing this should be because of that beautiful lie.
He admires Lu Yu, who can become a traveler who can walk everywhere and take risks constantly.
Because that’s what Andrew wanted to do but couldn’t do.
“Why do you want to come to the front line? It’s not long since you left the Eastern Border, didn’t you?”
Andrew, who opened the door to leave, was silent. After a long time, he turned around and looked at Lu Yu with helpless emotions in his eyes.
“Otherwise, what can I do, stay at home and wait for others to arrange my marriage and put me in the position of head of the household?”
“Marquis…”
“Call me Lu Yu.”
“…”
“Lu Yu, as a lord and a pioneer, if one day your child chooses a path that you do not approve of and wants to go for a walk, would you agree?”
Seeing that Lu Yu didn’t answer, Andrew let out a long sigh.
“I want to make my doll well, and I want to learn all kinds of magic to make her come alive.”
“I’ve heard that there are powerful magicians who can give dolls a soul, so that they are no longer a shell 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’s my responsibility. The rise and fall of the family is in my mind.”
“Compared to you wandering around and trying to find a way back to Sirius after all the hardships, I’m like a coward, because I came to the front line this time just to escape.”
Lu Yu said, “You can’t keep running away.”
The corners of Andrew’s mouth twitched, he hesitated, and after a long time he said in a bitter tone: “Yes, after I came here, the goblin riots began. As a member of the Knights, I must stand up. Guard Yaszi. The people, it’s my duty.”
“If I don’t die in battle and accumulate military exploits, then I will be promoted and become the highest-ranked person in the Turner family.”
“I was nurtured by the family and eagerly expected by them, 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 first name. My companions and I hunted thirty-one goblin heads for you in our spare time, and someone will secretly deliver them later.”
The sound of hoofs faded away.
Looking in the direction Andrew left, Lulutis sighed, “He really isn’t fit to be the head of the house.”
Lu Yu agreed with what Lulutis said. After all, after becoming the head of the family, the qualities they admired will be eroded little by little.
Sigrid, who went out to buy ingredients, came back and added some details to Lu Yu.
Today, due to the goblin riot, the elites of the family carried by the major nobles were basically damaged, and the family heirs were skinned by the goblins on the spot.
Maroney and other nobles were seriously injured and comatose, and it is said that many people have the possibility of amputation.
Because most of them were hit by the goblin darts, and the toxins in the darts were not removed for a long time, causing the wounds to rot, and almost bones could be seen.
Lu Yu never imagined that this group of nobles would have such a self-sacrificing spirit to help him take away the hatred of the goblin army with his flesh, so that he could easily complete the harvest.
Moved, is this the spirit of aristocracy?
Maroney, number one on the list, has a total of 112 heads.
The thirty-seven that Lu Yu had won by himself, plus the thirty-one that Andrew gave him, made a total of sixty-eight.
Most of the nobles were unable to continue hunting in a short period of time. Wouldn’t that give him a chance to easily overtake?
Lu Yu decided to observe for a day tomorrow to see if the goblins have changed, and where the knights patrol area of Black Shield City is farthest, and whether it can cover the entrance to the underground palace where he is.
He is not a rash person. This kind of God-given opportunity must be won steadily.
At the same time, in the palace deep in the Goblin dungeon on the Luotan Plain, the goblins who were kneeling on the ground were ordered to retreat ~www.readwn.com~ tremblingly.
The goblin king, whose skin was shriveled and withered in shape, moved forward tremblingly while supporting his old body with a staff.
The only remaining goblin mage was meditating by the stream transformed by the groundwater, and when he heard the sound of the staff hitting the ground, he quickly got 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 nibbled away a piece of territory from the Kingdom of Yas, was running out of fuel.
Who would have thought that this man who was extremely feared by the Yas Kingdom, who was suspected of being the gold-level goblin king and goblin archmage, already only had the strength of Mithril, and this strength continued to decline over time.
Even goblins cannot escape the fate of their lifespans running out.
Most goblins don’t live long. If they can’t break through and complete their transformation, fifty years old is the limit of their lives.
“Chacha… Cunning humans have already noticed it.”
The goblin mage named Chacha suddenly opened his eyes wide.
“Why are you surprised, you have already learned their ruthlessness and cunning.” The goblin king reprimanded Chacha while panting.
“Now they are not sure, so they chose to only irrigate one place, trying to force me to show up.”
“No matter how they guessed that I was going to die, we have to make it impossible for them to be firm on that guess.”
The Goblin King’s dark eyes flashed.
“Humans always measure us with their own thoughts. A tribe that has lost a king will not start a war easily. Hehehe… Bring your tribe and prepare for a siege.”
“Since there is not enough food for distribution, let’s give mankind a war.”
“Weak, it’s time to filter out.”
