Chapter 129 Isn’t this our saint?
Hoppe and Campos had a fierce argument, and neither could convince the other.
Gu An, the man behind the scenes, cleared his throat, then pretended to cough twice, interrupting the endless quarrel: [What are you in a hurry for? 】
[This lord has not finished speaking yet. 】
[Although there are magic heavy artillery in the kingdom's army, the use of such powerful weapons naturally requires a high price. 】
[According to the current intelligence inference, the result is at least 10,000 injuries to the enemy and 8,000 self-inflicted losses. 】
[So even if they have heavy weapons in hand, the Kingdom’s army will definitely not use them easily until the most critical moment. 】
[However, the plan to directly attack human towns will definitely not work, and we must change our strategy. 】
As soon as Gu An spoke, the scene immediately calmed down.
Hoppe and Campos listened carefully, and the nervous expressions on their faces did not slow down at all.
[Lord Apostle, you have accomplished great feats. You have captured the Elf Saint, and you are also the destined commander-in-chief of all monster races. 】
[The kingdom’s army will definitely destroy the entire Goblin territory at all costs. 】
[I think it’s better to retreat first, otherwise the consequences will still be disastrous. 】
Hoppe looked solemn and the reasoning he presented was very sensible.
Magic heavy artillery is a double-edged sword.
Normally, the kingdom's army would definitely not be willing to fight to the point where both sides would lose.
But the current situation is quite special.
It is imperative for the leader of the Mosang Territory to exterminate the Goblin Territory.
Even if you don't take the initiative to attack human towns, the kingdom's army will arrive sooner or later without invitation.
When that time comes, how should the various monster races respond?
Are you waiting to be killed if you don’t resist?
But if you resist, the kingdom's army will be unable to attack for a long time, and will eventually resort to magic heavy artillery.
The ending will not change at all.
Guan also knew what Hope was worried about.
But if you can come up with this reason, how can you not know the end?
He shook his head and said with a slight smile: [What Campos said is not entirely wrong. 】
[The border line of the Mosang Domain is currently in a tense war. It is too difficult to cross it, and it is basically a narrow escape. 】
[Instead of large-scale migration, it is better to focus on how to build the kingdom's army. 】
[The army of their kingdom has magic heavy artillery. Can’t I, the lord, have some props in my hand that can change the situation of the battle? 】
One word awakens the dreamer.
Campos jumped up from his chair and said excitedly: [Yes! 】
[Why did you forget this! 】
[The Apostle is blessed by the Demon God and has the right to open the abyss treasure house. There must be a magic item more powerful than the magic heavy cannon! 】
[Stupid, stupid, really stupid, I only think of it now! 】
Campos' excited words actually stunned Gu An.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain?
Treasure House of the Abyss.
The devil actually planted such a thing?
Gu An raised the corner of his mouth. Although he was very surprised in his heart, he did an excellent job in managing his expression without any unnecessary emotion leaking out.
Although his title of "Demon God's Apostle" was borrowed.
But Tiya is a system transformation and a genuine apostle of the devil.
Let her take action, and she will still be qualified to open the abyss treasure house.
It seems that we need to find out where the abyss treasure house is later.
Gu An made a mental note, then walked down the steps, pretending to be disappointed and said: [I just realized now that your ability to handle emergencies is really poor. 】
Hoppe was so ashamed that even his tail hung down on the ground: [I am extremely sorry, Lord Apostle. 】
[The Abyss Treasure House is far away in the depths of the sea. I really didn’t expect you to have been to that place. 】
[It’s because I don’t trust you enough, so I ask the Apostle to punish me. 】
Hoppe knelt on one knee with a very serious and dull expression, admitting his mistake very sincerely, but he didn't know that he had been deceived and became lame.
"Did it turn out to be deep in the sea?"
After getting another key piece of information, Gu An silently wrote it down in his mind.
[Those who do not know are not guilty. 】
[This lord is not a cruel and tyrannical leader. Since you already know your mistake, how can you bear to punish me anymore? 】
[Everyone, please get up and sit down. 】
After Guan expressed his attitude, Hoppe and Campos dared to salute, then stood up and sat back down.
Knowing that there was a way to solve the crisis, the sadness on their faces also reduced a lot, and they finally regained their composure.
The previous preparations had achieved the desired effect, and Gu An then logically proposed a new battle plan: [This lord previously took out a special magic item from the abyss treasure house, called the Silent Flag. 】
[I believe you also understand the function of this prop, right? 】
Knowing all about the magic props in the world, Gu An casually named a reasonable one.
【Silent flag】
An extremely rare high-level magic item, which in the original game settings could only be obtained through annual membership.
As long as you inject enough magic power and insert it at a central point, you can regionally shield all the magic power around it.
This effect can be said to be very unbelievable, and even as a special prop, it seems a bit too disruptive to the balance.
【Silent flag! 】
[With it, the magic heavy artillery of the kingdom army will be useless! 】
[As expected of the abyss treasure trove left by Lord Demon God, he even has a collection of such props! 】
Campos looked shocked.
You know, rare treasures like the [Silent Flag] cannot be found even in the immortal race.
Historically, records of its use only appeared during the First God War. Both humans and monsters thought that such a heaven-defying magic prop had been lost long ago, but they did not expect that there was still stock in the abyss treasure house.
pity.
What a shame.
[Silent Flag] appeared in front of the world again, just to deal with the kingdom's army, which did not even have strong men in the legendary realm.
It's really a waste of natural resources.
Campos shook his head, showing a very regretful expression.
Although Hoppe was also shocked, unlike Campos, he did not think that using the [Silent Flag] was a waste.
As long as the situation of the war can be reversed and the safety of the apostle can be guaranteed, all the costs will be worth it.
It calmly pondered for a while, and then said: [According to historical records, the silent flag is a one-time prop. Once it is inserted, it cannot move at all, and the area it covers is only ten kilometers in radius at most. 】
[If the battle starts in an open area, the kingdom's troops will definitely choose to evacuate quickly. Once they escape the effective range of the Silent Flag, the situation will still be quite dangerous. 】
[So, where to fight is a very important issue. The Silent Flag can only be used once, and it must be ensured that the kingdom's army cannot escape and be annihilated in one fell swoop. 】
After Hoppe thought about it for a while, he discovered the key to the problem.
However, this was exactly the answer Gu An wanted to hear. With a bright and sunny smile, he said calmly: [This lord has already considered this issue. 】
【Catch a turtle in an urn. 】
[As long as all the Kingdom's troops are led into the Goblin Cave, and then surrounded from front to back, they will be able to easily capture all the Kingdom's troops. 】
The silent flag is fake, but the "gold medal fighter" Toiichi's strength is nothing short of remarkable.
As long as all the Kingdom's troops are led into the Goblin Cave, Tobiichi can easily destroy the entire army by one person without even having a chance to escape.
As for how to explain that the "Magic Heavy Cannon" and the "Silent Flag" did not exist, Gu An had already thought of the reason.
First, the kingdom's army did not use "magic heavy artillery", and there was no need for the goblin territory to use the "silent flag".
Then after the battle was over, they conducted a pretentious investigation and gave the final result that "the kingdom's army did purchase magic heavy artillery, but due to the tense fighting outside, they have all been sent to the front line."
Then everything makes sense.
Sound a little sloppy?
Just win the battle.
When all is said and done, who will care about these irrelevant truths.
"Face engineering" has been an art since ancient times.
[This method is indeed feasible. 】
[However, Lord Apostle. 】
[Is your territory enough to accommodate so many enemies? 】
Hope raised a new doubt.
Although the Goblin territory is spacious, it can only accommodate a thousand people at most. It is still unrealistic to trap and kill tens of thousands of Kingdom troops.
Gu An looked at Hopei with a weird smirk in his eyes: [It doesn't matter. 】
[It will take several days for the kingdom’s army to arrive in the forest. 】
[Taking advantage of this time, you and Campos mobilize the tribesmen to come here together and work overtime to carry out excavation and construction work. You will definitely be able to expand the cave to the required size before they arrive. 】
Kill two birds with one stone.
Gu An's second goal was also realized naturally.
The construction work of the goblin territory has always been in a state of insufficient manpower.
When he was thinking about the battle plan, he already had the idea of the Hairy Dog Clan and the Shark Man Clan.
On the surface, it is to build a combat site and lay traps for the kingdom's army.
But when it comes to actual implementation, Gu'an still has the final say on how to plan and expand.
Using this "above and above board" reason, we can just borrow public resources and develop the goblin territory without any compensation.
It is reasonable and reasonable, and there is no need to worry about the selfish reputation of "malicious recruitment of migrant workers". It is perfect.
After being sold, you still have to ask others to count the money.
Campos, who didn’t know the truth at all, was still flattering and said: [This method is good! 】
[In the entire forest, only your territory, Lord Apostle, has such a large scale to facilitate expansion. 】
[In order to destroy the kingdom’s army and protect the monster races, you are actually willing to use your territory as a battlefield! 】
[With such a big heart, you are truly the most selfless and benevolent leader in history! 】
Although Campos' flattery was quite obvious, he was actually quite shocked by Gu An's actions.
Because in its understanding.
Goblin caves are made of stone, and even a battle without the blessing of magic is enough to cause devastating damage.
Therefore, it is only natural that Campos would have such emotions for Guan's leadership spirit that is willing to "sacrifice himself" and "help everyone".
However, there was one more thing that it would never have dreamed of.
Because of the systematic blessing, the walls in the goblin territory are extremely strong, and enemies below level 40 cannot cause damage at all.
Although there are many enemies above level 40 in the kingdom's army this time, as long as the Goblin passage is wide enough and Yuan Yi kills them fast enough during the battle, the damage that can be caused is actually very limited.
After the war, the miner goblins will make some casual repairs, and it won't take much effort to restore the collapsed passage to its original state.
Of course, the defensive nature of the cave walls is only against enemies, and has no effect on workers like Campos who have obtained permission to exploit the territory.
This is also the reason why Miner Goblins can always work normally.
Gu An had already arranged everything clearly.
Another person who was also kept in the dark was Hope.
It felt great admiration for Gu An's righteous act of sacrificing himself for the public. It looked at the apostle affectionately and praised sincerely: [The demon god has a sharp eye and chooses you as our leader. You are really the greatest monster among all races. What a blessing! 】
The goblins and Tia also cheered in unison.
Only Aaliya looked gloomy and secretly cursed in her heart: "What a selfless and benevolent leader."
"You monsters are so blind that you would choose such a pervert to be your leader."
"nausea."
"It's so disgusting!"
Gu An smiled happily, then waved his hand modestly: [Okay, okay. 】
[It is the mission of this lord to bring peace and stability to all monster tribes. You don’t have to feel so sentimental. As long as all tribes work together, the future of the monster world is destined to be brilliant. 】
Hoppe showed great reverence in his eyes, patted his chest passionately and said, "Don't worry, Lord Apostle." 】
[You are willing to sacrifice your territory for the monster clans, and we, the Maodog clan, are also willing to take the lead. 】
[When the war begins, the task of luring the Kingdom’s army into the Goblin Cave will fall on us, the Hairy Dogs! 】
The expansion of the trap battlefield is easy.
But the bait to invite you into the urn is not easy to use.
If you want to induce the kingdom's army to voluntarily enter the Goblin Cave, you must first send a group of death squads to retreat step by step through self-sacrifice, and then you can lure the enemy deeper.
The fact that the Maodog Clan is willing to take the initiative shows how deeply grateful it is for Gu An's loyalty.
However, although this affection was rare and valuable, Gu An still shook his head and denied it: [Why do you want you to seduce the kingdom's army? 】
[Wouldn’t it be better to let them enter the cave by themselves? 】
Hearing this unexpected answer, Hopei was stunned: [Huh? 】
[Let them come in by themselves? 】
Campos was equally puzzled.
The Kingdom’s army is not a fool.
They were going to launch a large-scale siege against the monsters in the forest. They would definitely not divide their forces into one group. How could they be willing to all enter the Goblin Cave?
Still wearing his signature sunny smile, Gu An pointed his finger and said mysteriously: [Isn’t our Lady Saint here? 】
All the eyes present were focused on Aaliya.
She looked around warily, and then asked nervously: [You...what do you want to do? 】
Gu An didn't speak, but the smile on his lips became brighter.
Such a silent answer made Aaliya feel even more hairy and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
Not good!
Pretty bad!
