Chapter 703 100. Big is good, more is beautiful
Annan did not want to use disparagement to lower the negotiation price, and he made no secret of his appreciation for the goblin creations.
“Your vision is just like that of a goblin sage.” Village Chief Mark praised in goblin fashion.
This reminded Annan that Dorai had also praised himself in this way.
There is a row of goblin golems. They are all covered with dust and have not been used or cleaned for a long time.
When they reached the thirtieth count, they reached the end of the treasure house.
“No more?”
There is only an empty space without dust, which means that the giant goblin golem once stood here.
“What you see is all of us.”
“Where was the giant goblin golem outside Lost City that day?”
This question rarely made the goblins silent for a while: "As long as we have the resources, we can make it again!"
It seems that there is only one giant goblin golem.
Annan was not a professional, so he summoned Fermi.
After not seeing each other for about two months, a shallow scar appeared on Fermi’s cheek. He walked around the goblin golem and gave it a high evaluation: “I have seen it in the rat tide. The scene of swimming in it."
"How about compared to the large earth element?"
"Then you have to see it move." Fermi patted the golem's shell as if it was patted on a wall, "But it must be stronger than the earth element."
In all their previous battles, large earth elements were always It's the fear of siege. When hundreds of ratmen rush over, those crude weapons will chip away at the earth elemental's body bit by bit.
As for the dull-looking metal shell, they couldn't even leave a few holes in it for a day...
Annan returned to the middle of the treasure house, picked up a firecracker and handed it to Fermi.
Femi picked it up and looked through it for a long time, then put it back and shook his head with Annan.
Without the familiar barrel and sight, it is not a weapon that relies on kinetic energy such as bows and arrows or muskets.
Both the goblin golem and the fire blunderbuss in front of you must be driven by magic crystals.
The magic crystal is not a magic stone. It is a special crystal that stores magic power. The price is slightly more expensive than the magic stone.
This is different from the path taken by Liberty City - although they add the "magic" prefix in front of magic gunpowder, magic muskets, and magic artillery, it actually has nothing to do with magic.
After viewing the treasure house, the next step is negotiation.
The goblin village chiefs had differences here: some goblin lions opened their mouths, some goblins thought it should be sold well, some goblins wanted to drive the humans out, and some goblins were dancing.
Annan doesn't care about the power struggle within the goblins. He just wants to get what he wants-the goblin golems and the goblins themselves.
Several minutes passed, but instead of solving the problem, they became more and more violent. Occasionally, they came to ask Annan if he could let them go to Liberty City.
"I'm afraid not, there are too many of you."
There are less than a thousand goblins in Liberty City, and the factory where they stay is like a chicken coop from morning to night. There was a lot of noise. There are more than thirty villages in the Putrid Swamp and at least tens of thousands of goblins. They used to turn Free City into a sea of chattering.
"Can I go out for a walk?" Annan asked.
“You can go anywhere!” said the village chief of Mark, who is on the side of “Sell Good”.
Annan and the others wandered around the treasure house.
He discovered that the thorns were not just "walls" but also the dividing line between the swamp and the walkable land. Goblins are so small that they can't even emerge from a swamp if they fall into them.
But even if the ground is walkable, muddy water will still seep out when you step on it. The ground shakes like a water ball, making people not want to stay too long.
Annan asked Fermi privately: "What do you think?"
"Big is good, more is beautiful." Fermi replied briefly.
Annan thinks so too, the Goblin Golem fits the style of Liberty City so well. At least buy or form an alliance in exchange for a goblin golem and send it back to Liberty City for research and dismantling. Next, if we establish a good relationship with the elements and reappear the elemental army, then the north of Liberty City will be impregnable.
“How is the situation in the north?”
Femi said that the Skaven and Demonic Waves invaded in large numbers, and the northern countries, including the Kingdom of Rekaner, were on the verge of collapse. The Tatooine Empire built a great wall in the north. The Principality of Montable Rock was frightened, and a large number of nobles ran to the Watch Territory and left the Principality with their property, because the rat people were not far away from them, and the previous wars consumed too much financial resources.
Liberty City is helping the Principality of Montaburlok build a watch territory. They are allies, and Overwatch is the only way to get to Liberty City.
"Where is the third coalition army?"
"Still planning, the empire revealed that it will be formed in winter."
After the cold winter, heavy snow closed the mountains, and there was no food. The ratmen either killed each other or invaded in large numbers.
With the size of the Tatooine Empire, it can completely compete with a Skaven clan, but the fall of the North always makes Annan, the half of the North, regretful.
“Look at what the hell you are wearing!”
There was a noise in the distance, and Dorai was being besieged by several goblins.
As soon as Annan was about to stop him, Dorai stopped him in turn: "Let them vent."
"You, a domestic goblin, have disgraced the goblins!"
"Go back!"
The silent Dorai returned to Annan and followed him away.
Looking at the backs of Annan and Dorai, the goblin suddenly became silent and looked down at his clothes and straw sandals, which were full of holes.
“The enviable bastard...”
……
"Why?"
Anan asked on the way back to the treasure house.
"This way I won't make wrong decisions in the next negotiations because they are of the same race." Dole said calmly.
Annan patted it on the shoulder.
The discussion among the goblins is coming to an end, but there is a result that Annan cannot understand:
They somehow deduced that Annan wanted to form an alliance - humans hated goblins - the alliance was a conspiracy - they tricked them into going out to kill, so Annan wanted to annex the rancid swamp formula.
This is not the end, because with the resolute opposition of the village chief Mark, they split... The thirty-four goblin villages are scattered here and there. If Annan comes later, they have already started a war.
Annan found it difficult to understand, while Dorai showed a hint of unspeakable sadness.
Before they started fighting, Annan returned to the village with Chief Mark, who was firmly on his side.
"It seems like one person is missing?" Annan found that the goblin leader was missing.
Mayor Mark said it followed other village leaders.
Annan couldn't help but remain silent.
Whether it was a reward for standing on his side or showing it to other goblin villages, Annan did not skimp on supplies. He opened the portal and asked Liberty City to bring in boxes of food.
Other villages scattered across the putrid swamp returned to silence, while Chief Mark's village began a banquet.
A bonfire was raised in the village open space, and bread, barbecue and hot soup were served. The aroma briefly suppressed the ubiquitous stench of the putrid swamp. Annan and the others seemed to have mistakenly entered a halfling village, full of goblins no more than waist high. Jumping and jumping.
I'm afraid that's how the ogres usually see them.
