Chapter 49 Cooking Without Rice
The situation was much better than he had expected at the beginning. The dryads had similar abilities to the goblins, which could stimulate the growth of plants, but the intensity was much higher. The bears were all serious druids, and they were asked to guide others in farming Not a big problem.

They can do what Tang Zhao is not good at, and the harvest in the coming year is somewhat guaranteed.

In addition, the training of the kobolds is also proceeding step by step. Tang Zhao selected ten kobolds who have passed the test in physical fitness and are relatively clever at the same time, and asked them to be full-time patrol guards for the settlement.

They were uniformly equipped with short spears, a small buckler, and no armor.

One is that the scale armor on the kobolds is very hard, stronger than some treated leather armor, and they are not in a position to buy ten sets of mail armor or plate armor now.

The second is that they don't have the conditions to make leather now. If ordinary animal fur wants to be turned into durable leather, it takes at least half a month to process it.

The goblin is dexterous in craftsmanship, and can capture everything from evening dresses to half-length leather armors, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Tang Zhao bought some chemical raw materials for tanning leather, but has not had a chance to put them into practical action.

Put aside the issue of equipment, and Lalique will take them through physical and combat training.

Lalique was in charge of the goblin patrol team before, and it was a bit difficult for him to train a regiment of tens of thousands of people, but a patrol team of dozens of people was fine, and Tang Zhao didn't have that high expectation for the kobolds.His positioning of the kobolds is the basic labor force, not the main combat force.

Be able to be responsible for security work, and be able to pick up weapons in an orderly manner when the enemy comes, as long as you have a little fighting power.

A few days later, in the forest near Tangzhao's settlement, a group of goblins was advancing cautiously.

There are a total of more than a dozen members, the leading goblin is equipped with simple leather armor and a short spear with a gray steel tip, and rides a tall and fierce looking wolf.

The leading goblin waved his short spear, calling for the goblins behind him to move.

"After searching the previous area, we can go back. We will not be on shift for the next four days. Let me go!"

Hearing the words, the surrounding goblins dispersed sparsely and began to search and reconnaissance.

At this time, the leading goblin was a little cautious, and did not go deep with the rest of the goblins, but stood behind and watched the situation.

Above the forest, a goblin holding a short bow quietly appeared in the tree canopy, and drew the bowstring.

Ten seconds later, the goblins screamed in agony in the forest.

A number of goblins rushed out of the forest, ran behind the leading goblin in horror, and raised weapons of different lengths and specifications to protect their bodies.

There are several arrows stuck in their bodies, and there are no barbs on the arrows. A few goblins have already pulled out the arrows with pain.

The sharp arrow was stained with blood, as if it was stained with something else, but the goblins at this time didn't have time to worry about it.

Seeing that there were real enemies in the forest, and the leading goblin didn't have the will to fight, he didn't even need to say hello, the warg turned and ran, followed by a group of goblins hurriedly.

At the same time, Tang Zhao opened his mouth and bit the body of a wolf. The huge bite force crushed the body cavity of the wolf in an instant. It wailed and quickly lost its breath.

Throwing the wolf's body aside casually, Tang Zhao inspected the messy battlefield.

There were a total of twelve goblins in this team, and except for the two he deliberately let go at the beginning, the rest had all been wiped out.

Cynthia, with a complicated expression, flew down from the canopy, put her hand on Tang Zhao's scales, and released the Animal Talking Technique.

[How is the progress of the other teams? 】

"The two teams, Dua and Lilith, have already sent the signal, and Lalique and the others should be coming soon."

[Very well, thank you for your hard work. 】

"I still have some problems." Finally, Cynthia couldn't help but speak, "Is it necessary to use that...very special method?"

[My toxin should be some kind of neurotoxin, which is highly lethal and quick to take effect, and the symptoms are relatively unobvious, so it is not suitable for that kind of work. 】

Cynthia loves peace, but she will not give up because of choking. There is almost a life-and-death relationship between goblins and goblins.

Tang Zhao didn't smear those arrows with his own powerful venom, but used a little more disgusting earthwork.

Those arrows were smeared with a lot of processed animal feces, and there were also condiments added by bear druids. The immune system of goblins is not at the level of aliens, and it is certain that many goblins will be infected.

The primary purpose of Tang Zhao is not to cause damage, but to cause panic and pressure.

Using his own venom will be very effective. It is believed that those goblins can hardly survive for two hours, but in that case, it will not have much impact on the goblins. There are still a few goblins, at least three or four hundred, killing a dozen or two Ten is harmless at all.

So he switched the type of arrow poison to a slow-dead, slandering goblin that would spend a dozen days wailing.

The half-dead goblins will greatly damage the morale of the goblins. A wounded man is more troublesome than a dead man in battle, and the wounded will occupy the front-line supplies and medical resources.

Faced with this situation, some people may choose to execute the wounded directly, but Tang Zhao believes that those goblins do not have such a fast reaction speed.

The wounded were less likely to receive proper medical treatment, but equally less likely to be killed directly.

The camp of the goblins is only that big. After a long time, the camp will be filled with wounded people like that until the goblins can't bear it.

At that time, Tang Zhao's purpose will be achieved, and they will have to withdraw.Half-dead people are more damaging to morale than dead people, Tang Zhao believes this.

Goblins are not iron men. In fact, they have poor discipline and patience. They won't last long in such a day, and they will want to retreat.

Tang Zhao simply explained it to Cynthia. Although Cynthia had some opinions on this behavior, she didn't say much.

They were the weaker side, and naturally they would not be able to win the final victory if they didn't use the sword to take the lead. Cynthia could understand this.

Today is the first planned attack organized by Tang Zhao. A total of four teams attacked at the same time, taking advantage of the goblins' search and investigation, they were caught off guard.

From the results point of view, this is very good, the goblins left more than 20 dead bodies on the spot, and an equal number of wounded were brought back to the goblin camp.

The loss on Tang Zhao's side is not too big, six goblins were injured or died, which is much better than expected.

He didn't intend to make the next attack now, but continued to wait and see the situation on the field.
-
After being attacked, the goblin did not react quickly.Tang Zhao didn't go any further.

The two sides continued to sit quietly. Tang Zhao's purpose was to get the other party to leave the foot of the mountain and return to the top of the mountain, which was still far from this goal.

However, that night, a group of unwelcome visitors came to the outskirts of the settlement—a small group of Warg cavalry.

There are many guard posts near the settlement, and the dryads can even use plants as their eyes and ears. This group of wolf cavalry basically has nowhere to hide in the forest, and they were directly discovered by the fairies.

I don't know what these wolf cavalry are thinking, but Tang Zhao can't let the threat appear near the settlement, and is ready to eliminate it.

Warg cavalry, when the rider is a goblin, the threat of the mount is much greater than that of the rider.

It is not the key that the wargs have a stronger physique than ordinary wolves, the key is that they also have the intelligence of humanoid creatures.

Those without wisdom are beasts, and those with wisdom are formidable opponents.

Compared with ordinary goblins, their judgment is often more rational and stable, and they are more threatening.
