Chapter 51 The West Side of the Continent
[If you feel necessary, you can cover your eyes with anything, I will make the process as silent as possible. 】

Cynthia shook her head: "No need, what I did was not wrong, let them settle down in the forest, and more goblins will be killed, just like those Yit monsters at that time, obviously I can have a chance to stop them, now the same Mistake, there will be no second time."

Compared with the same race, the picklings accompanying Tang Zhao are significantly different. Although they love peace and yearn for peace, they understand that the prerequisite for enjoying peace is force.

After spitting out the letter, Tang Zhao asked the other party to grab the scales on the back of his neck, and he led Cynthia slowly towards the settlement of the goblins.

Picklings can't remain invisible when casting spells, flying too conspicuously in the sky, and Tang Zhao suspects that there are some warning measures arranged by goblins in the water, so they approach from land.

The goblins also have the innate ability of invisibility, and their flying ability and vigilance are stronger. A group of goblins spread out in a fan shape to explore forward and guide Tang Zhao to avoid the sentries and traps set by the goblins.

Coming to the vicinity of the settlement without any risk, Tang Zhao did not venture into the interior of the settlement, but stayed on the edge of the settlement.

Cynthia is using cloud fog technique, which can generate fog centered on the caster, and the maximum casting distance is 15 meters.

Normally, the casting material of this kind of spell is a bit of fog-making water, but Tang Zhao made some suggestions. He moved his hands and feet on the water, and after adding the powder of the Ganthias tree, the fog produced turned into a poisonous black. fog.

Toxicity is simply tested, there will be some cuts, but it's still possible to be lethal.

However, what Tang Zhao wanted was not the poison that could seal the throat with blood, but the poison that was most suitable for damaging morale.

The poisoned person will be extremely painful, looks miserable, loses the ability to fight and survive, and must be taken care of to survive until the situation improves.

The toxicity has been reduced, and the lethality has been reduced, but this does not prevent every poisoned person, whether dead or alive, from having to fight against the venom for days and nights, so that it is possible to rely on the body's immunity to defeat the venom.

It is a different matter if there are special medicines. The corresponding antidote for the Ganthias tree is very difficult to find. Even if they can be found, Tang Zhao does not believe that they can find hundreds of copies.

The dead were a blow to morale, but the half-dead were even worse. Combined with the various insidious tricks Tang Zhao had come up with before, he believed that this group of goblins would not last long.

The color of his body changed to match the surface of the night. Tang Zhao approached the goblin settlement again, almost clinging to a broken tent, and he signaled Cynthia to do it.

A cloud of mist like a small ball spread out immediately, covering the entire surrounding space in less than ten seconds.

Cynthia can control the fog, there is no black fog for one meter around her, but Tang Zhao has a more convenient way-he simply doesn't breathe, anyway, the cloud and fog technique only lasts for 10 minutes, and he can at least hold his breath for 15 minutes minutes, no problem.

He doesn't need to protect his eyes either. Like many reptiles, he has a nictitating membrane, commonly known as the third eyelid, which, like goggles, helps him prevent fog from entering his eyes.

At the same time as the black mist spread, Tang Zhao began to run wildly along the border of the settlement.

There is a night patrol here, as long as the other party is not blind, they can see such a large black mist, Tang Zhao simply ran up, so that the black mist can contact as many goblins as possible.

"Enemy attack! An enemy is coming!"

Tang Zhao ran for more than a hundred meters when he heard a goblin shouting in the black mist. He ignored the other party and speeded up and headed forward.

Anyway, there was fog blocking the line of sight, and they couldn't find themselves for a while, so they just ran forward.

The settlement of hundreds of people is neither big nor small. Even if Tang Zhao's running speed is not slow, it still took him a few minutes to complete most of the circle.

Seeing that the goblins beside him were already calling for the wolves to move out, Tang Zhao was not interested in continuing, so he turned around and ran into the forest.

After getting into the forest, Tang Zhao asked Cynthia to remove the black mist, and he looked for opportunities to get into the water and go down the river.

The commander on the opposite side should have seen the clues and didn't let the wolf chase into the fog. However, just in case, Tang Zhao swam for another distance, and he didn't go ashore until he was basically sure that there was no enemy following him, ready to go back.

He didn't intend to spend time with those goblins tonight, the morale battle will take time to be effective, rest well, he will still have a way to deal with the goblins tomorrow.
-
After returning to the settlement, the first thing Tang Zhao did was to count the losses.

It was predicted in advance that they would set fire, the kobolds were always on standby, the bears were huge, and the dryads could control some plants. With the cooperation of the three parties, the fire was brought under control without excessive spread.

But even so, there is still a large area of ​​forest burned, and it will take years and months to recover.

The loss of personnel is single digits, which is acceptable, and the price the goblins will pay will definitely be even heavier.

But there was one thing that made Tang Zhao very vigilant - this time they saw clearly that the leader was a hobgoblin, and it was well equipped, it didn't look like it came out of the mountains at all.

【It's not like a wandering hobgoblin, but it seems that they came here specially to develop their subordinates. As for the purpose.】

Tang Zhao believes that this matter is not simple, and a greater force may be involved behind it.

The Everlook Mountains traverse the central part of the continent. On their part, the east side of the continent is dominated by the Principality of Oran and the Orcs. The two sides have been engaged in a tug-of-war for a long time. The Kingdom of Oran is mainly defensive. It currently has the upper hand and is steadily advancing northward.

The land on the west side of the continent is relatively wider, with more forces and conflicts.

There are more orcs, scattered elf territories, a country created by human mages, and a kingdom of goblin-like creatures dominated by hobgoblins.
There are more forces, and the situation is more chaotic. Several parties are ebb and flow, and it is impossible to see who will win in the end. This balance of power will probably continue until some huge changes occur.

According to Tang Zhao, this hobgoblin came from Magrubie, the hobgoblin country on the west side of the mainland. This country is named after the main god of hobgoblins and is a loose tribal country composed of multiple clans.

A backward civilization level does not mean a low combat effectiveness. No one will question the combat effectiveness of the Hobgoblin Legion.

As for the reason why he came here, there are many possibilities: waiting for an opportunity to raid the elf tribe on the west side of the Everlook Mountains, assisting the orcs to attack and harass the Kingdom of Oran, grabbing the inheritance left by the dwarves, absorbing enough cannon fodder from the Everlook Mountains and bringing them back to the horses. Grubier.
Tang Zhao can think of many explanations, but the information he has obtained so far is too little to be conclusive, so he can only make a guess.

In any case, in Tang Zhao's eyes, the danger of this goblin settlement has been raised by another level.

It is one concept to have a common goblin who is aggressive and ruthless as a leader, but it is another concept to be a leader with a hobgoblin officer who has received professional and complete training.

And since one settlement is controlled by a special hobgoblin, there may be a second, third, and fourth similar settlements, really driving that hobgoblin into a hurry, maybe he can call people.

From this point of view, the situation is much more serious than he thought.

[I hope the effect of the black mist is as good as it was in the test. If the goblins are not defeated quickly, things may become infinitely more difficult. 】

After killing this wave of goblins, it will be winter for more than a month, with low temperature and lack of food. At that time, it will be difficult for the goblins to launch a larger-scale attack, and they will starve to death.

After winter, Tang Zhao is confident that he will never be afraid of goblins again.He is constantly evolving, and the size of his settlement is also expanding.
