Chapter 47 Discussion
The goblins shouted for reinforcements, and the goblin cavalry riding the wargs were approaching. Tang Zhao was weak to deal with them, so he turned around and jumped into the water, diving into the bottom of the river and preparing to swim away.

There was a faint roar from above, and arrows were shot into the water from time to time, but all the goblins who shot arrows were holding light short bows, which were not heavy in weight and had no penetrating power. It is harmless to Tang Zhao who is wearing heavy armor.

The terrain is relatively steep and the river is turbulent. It is really hard to see things underwater. At the same time, they are not good at water. The goblins threw all kinds of projectiles into the water as if venting. After seven or eight minutes, there was no feedback. They just had to let it go.

During this period of time, Tang Zhao had already swam downstream for a long distance.

At the beginning, there was indeed a wolf following them, but they couldn't identify Tang Zhao's exact location, so they didn't continue to chase after a while, and Tang Zhao climbed to the shore later.

Sticking out his forked tongue, he didn't smell any wargs or goblins in the air, so the surrounding area should be relatively safe.

[Of course not necessarily, for example, the orcs last time, they have a way to block their own smell, there are weird things like magic in this world, everything should be careful.]

Tang Zhao is indeed resistant to magic, but he lacks understanding of magic or similar things. Currently, there is no channel to learn systematically, so it is always right to be cautious.

Fearing that he would leave a hole and be followed by goblins or wargs, Tang Zhao did not return to the settlement immediately, but got into another river and stopped in a gentle and stable place in the river, with only the tip of his nose sticking out of the water to breathe.

Similar tactics to crocodiles, he does not have a specialized head like a crocodile, and can perfectly disguise himself as driftwood, but with the help of color-changing ability, Tang Zhao looks not bad at least, unless he is staring at him to check, or ordinary people are It's hard to see the difference.

Taking advantage of this time, he can also quietly think about what to do with those goblins.

When we raided the goblin just now, the first thing is to see how fast the opponent is organizing, and the second is to make the opponent vigilant.

Regarding the first point, the opponent's reaction was as expected. They entered a state of combat readiness within a few seconds, but they did not continue to fall into chaos. At least there were guards.

It can be regarded as a normal level, and it may be considered relatively orderly in the goblin settlement, so there is not much difference.

If he found a group of goblins immediately grabbed the guys and beat him up as soon as he got out of the water, then the problem would be bigger.

The weapons in the hands of some elite goblins are suspected to be made of dwarven gray steel. If these goblins are too well-trained, then Tang Zhao can basically be sure that there are people behind these guys.Now it seems that this possibility cannot be said to be completely absent, but at least it is relatively low.

But he couldn't figure out why he wanted to support goblins. Whether it was supporting lycanthropes such as werewolves or humanoid creatures such as orcs, it was indeed useful.

To support goblins, at most, they would rob small caravans and empty human villages inside. The former could accomplish these things better, and they were really worthy of use.

It would be understandable if there were only hobgoblins and bear goblins, but the composition of the settlement was almost all ordinary goblins. The fighting ability of these goblins was worrying.

In his opinion, the greater possibility is that these goblins have found some inheritance left by the dwarves.

The name of the copper-nickel forest was given by the dwarves. They used to have many small settlements in the mountains, but later the dwarves as a whole suffered some changes and entered a long period of decline. During this period, many dwarf settlements were abandoned or abandoned. , or was breached by foreign enemies, the dwarves began to shrink their territory as a whole.

There are also some such strongholds in the Yongwang Mountains. It is not impossible to say that the goblins found some supplies from it.

As for the second point, Tang Zhao wants the other party to be vigilant. It would be best if they can be forced to give up and continue to explore the depths of the forest. Even if they can't, then try to slow down their progress and make them fear the forest , so that you will be timid during the exploration, and the progress will be slowed down.

I don't know how effective it will be, Tang Zhao plans to do similar things a few more times until the other party doesn't leave any openings for him.

[There is another question about evolution, whether it is better to hurry up and evolve quickly, or to solve everything quickly and then evolve.]

The time required for the last few evolutions has been doubled by six times. The last time was 36 hours, and the next time is likely to be 210 six hours, which is a full nine days.

During this period of time, the goblin must have to rely on himself. It is difficult to say whether he is safe during the evolution period. If someone takes advantage of this time to bury him alive or roast him, what will happen to him? Tang Zhao did not know before. I have the opportunity to try it, and to be honest, I really don’t want to try it in the future.

Nine days is not a short time, plus the time for him to eat, no matter what, there will be another 20 days, during which various unexpected situations are likely to occur.

Relying on the goblins and kobolds themselves may not be able to solve the goblin's problem, and it will take a long time for Tang Zhao to evolve, and it will be relatively laborious if he does not evolve.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Zhao chose to make a quick decision, trying to get the goblin's affairs settled as soon as possible.

Because this is just a goblin settlement, if it is not handled properly and the other party settles in the forest, there may be a second, third, and fourth settlement to migrate later.
-
After waiting for a while, Tang Zhao poked his head out of the river and returned to his settlement.

When the goblins in the settlement saw him coming back, they all came forward to ask what happened.

After killing the griffin, the goblins with him were left in the settlement by him. They knew that there might be goblins nearby, and they were worried to death during this time.

The matter was not complicated. Tang Zhao explained it to the other party in a few words, and ran to Lilith to call the dryad and the bear man, and by the way, Toby, the representative of the kobold, gathered together for a meeting to discuss.

,,,,,,
[So that's probably the case. I want to confirm one thing with you first. Has there been a similar goblin migration incident before, and how did you solve it at that time? 】

The life expectancy of bear people is similar to that of humans, and at the same time, they moved from the outside world to the forest in the last ten years, so they don't know much about these things.

Lilith spoke: "It has happened before, but it was all six or seven hundred years ago, and there may not be a relationship between the two."

Dryads are very enviable. Not all species have a lifespan as long as trees. It is good for ordinary creatures to live for six to seventy years.

Hearing this, Leo the bear said: "It's okay, let us all listen to it, so we can understand it."

"Well," Lilith nodded, "the cause of the previous incident is unknown, but there were also a large number of goblins who came down the mountain and came to the forest. It was too late when we found out that they successfully settled in the forest, but at that time our The settlement is protected by treants, and there is even a unicorn, so those goblins don't dare to provoke us at all."

"And then? How did they leave?"

"I stayed in the forest for six or seven years. During this period, goblin settlements migrated here from time to time, which is similar to the current situation. It's just that after a few years, they all moved away, and I don't know what it is The reason is, we dryads don't care about things that are too far away."

[Did the goblins have dwarf weapons in their hands at that time? 】

Lilith denied: "Of course not. At that time, the surrounding dwarven settlements were not evacuated. The fighting power of the dwarves was much stronger than that of the goblins. Except for very few special cases, it was impossible for the goblins to get the equipment of the dwarves."

Dwarves have extremely strong endurance, far surpassing the heat resistance of humans and the top metallurgical ability of the mainland. After a few points are combined, most of them are equipped with thick to exaggerated armor. What a splash.

On the one hand, the level of technology has not yet fully entered the Bronze Age, and on the other hand, the technology is at least at the level of the Renaissance.This kind of battle is not necessary at all, it is completely crushed.

I asked several questions about the goblins one after another, and finally got the same answers. I don't know what the relationship between the goblin invasion hundreds of years ago and this time.

Tang Zhao himself believed that the root of this matter was that the dryad didn't pay much attention to the outside creatures, and didn't know that what the other party did was just a small problem.
