Age of Adepts

Chapter 528: Plague broke out

Views:

It is precisely because she knows too much about the power of wizards that Vanessa can never forgive the hateful enemy who introduced wizards into the goblin plane!

If it wasn't for the fact that the strength in her hands was not enough to wipe out the hostile forces, she would have stabbed the sword into the heart of that hateful guy with her own hands. It...it is simply too abominable, to drag the entire goblin plane into the risk of complete sinking for its own selfishness.

Such a guy should be killed by a thousand knives...

While cursing bitterly, Vanessa pushed open the wooden door and came to the small open-air platform outside the residence.

This is a metal castle with a strong goblin style.

Although the layout of the building is similar to that of a human castle, there is a huge and very different difference in building materials. Human castles are mostly made of huge civil stones, while goblin castles are mainly made of a large number of metal components, sometimes supplemented by wood. Even those wooden walls had to be overturned with a solid metal panel to enhance their sturdiness.

So from a distance, this royal castle belonging to the Undermine royal family looks like a steel castle made of pure metal, with golden reflections unique to alloy materials everywhere.

Due to the short stature of goblins, goblin buildings are mainly short and sturdy. As for the style, the goblin architects have given full play to their creative and divergent thinking, creating strangely shaped goblin buildings.

Not to mention anything else, the roof of a single goblin building is full of weirdness and variety.

There is a round mushroom roof, a pointed rocket roof, a lightning rod-like thorny roof, and a strange roof carved out of your own head...

Therefore, looking at the past from a high place, there are no two identical buildings in the entire Goblin Castle.

Due to the advocacy of thrift and frugality, the roads left between goblin buildings for pedestrians are extremely narrow and crowded. And there are all sorts of wires, levers, and winches pulling from building to building, metal trap doors, drawbridges, and trolleys gliding on tracks...

Moreover, most of the buildings are still powered by steam, so their tall iron chimneys are constantly emitting black smoke. On the streets, goblins rode on chocobos, puppet beasts, and self-propelled robots, striding across the streets and alleys.

At the far end of the line of sight, goblin caravans have arrived at the edge of the goblin castle. The green goblin, who is the head of the caravan, is waving his whip and directing the slaves to move piles of goods and goods from the The tall body of the multi-beast was unloaded.

And above the old castle, goblin helicopters flew across the sky with the ear-piercing roar unique to mechanical creations. A large goblin airship is slowly approaching the airport on the edge of the castle, and there is an endless stream of goblins going up and down.

Slowly sweeping across the underground people who lived and worked in peace and contentment under her own governance, Princess Vanessa felt both endless pride and pride, as well as unspeakable fear and uneasiness.

She loves these people, she loves her own country, and she loves the unique civilization of goblins... But all of this has been changed by the sudden magic power.

Magic energy represents a cleaner and more efficient source of energy, and it will never be cut off. Therefore, at the beginning of contact with magic energy, no goblin can refuse this new type of energy that represents a great future.

But for some reason, the more magic energy is exposed to, the more easily the goblin's fragile and small mind will be polluted.

And the big chaebols and consortium leaders of the venture capital company headed by Gazlowe have become arrogant and greedy one by one, even wanting to get involved in those terrible evil forces that do not belong to the goblins.

Vanessa could vaguely guess why Gazlowe hooked up with the wizarding world and introduced the evil wizard into the goblin plane. After all, a 96-year-old overage goblin, when it has mastered super powers, what it wants to do most, what it wants to do most is to make itself live longer and more nourishing.

And these, goblin civilization can never be solved!

So, for selfish and evil purposes, that bastard had brought even more evil and terrifying wizards into his homeland. And all of this was just a needless struggle of a dying old goblin.

The Thor Titan engineering drawings sent back by Tigule almost fascinated all the royal goblin engineers. The basic strength as high as level 4 can perfectly integrate goblin construction machinery and alchemy technology into one, and become the most powerful war magic weapon that witnessed the rise of the goblin empire.

Once such a thing is successful, it will inevitably make the participating engineers and alchemists famous forever, and become the sages and sages worshiped by countless goblin descendants.

Such a huge temptation, no goblin can refuse!

According to the news that Vanessa knew, after the engineering drawings were passed to the Royal Academy of Engineering, those gray-haired goblin engineers have not slept for three days and three nights. They summoned all the goblin engineers, and then invited a group of old guys from the Alchemy Association to help them. They are researching and discussing every detail and core technology of Thor Titan.

In order to conduct experiments, they have already applied for 17 major engineering projects, 21 core material metal experiments, 175 technology verification tests, and five space furnace miniaturization technology feasibility research projects...

According to their posture, I am afraid that even if the royal treasury is emptied, it will be difficult to support such a huge engineering project. Moreover, if all the wealth and resources of the royal family are poured into this illusory Thor Titan plan, then the royal family's plan to form its own magic army will inevitably be delayed.

Without the new magic legion, what would the goblin royal family have to fight against Gazlowe's private mercenaries? Without the new army of mana, what can the goblin royal family do in the face of the invasion of evil wizards step by step

If it was Gazlowe's private army that defeated the wizard instead of the goblin royal family, then in the hearts of thousands of goblins, the goblin royal family would lose their sacred guardianship. At that time, what else can the goblin royal family do besides watching Gazlowe gradually win over their own people's hearts

The deeper she thought, the heavier the gloom in Vanessa's heart became. In many cases, the terrible pressure on her thin shoulders far exceeded the sum of all the pressures of goblins of the same age.

If it wasn't for the support of the royal family's blood, and she was not allowed to back down and compromise, she might be doing her favorite engineering experiments like other 11-year-old goblin princesses, driving the alchemy creation she made herself, and then There is no need to worry about the suffering and problems that are yet to come!

It's a pity... she is Vanessa, she is the eldest princess of the goblin empire, and she is the most powerful goblin of the Undermine royal family. In such an environment, she can only throw away her dress and put on armor, and do her best work and efforts for the life and death of the goblin royal family!

However, just as Vanessa held the metal railing and looked at the people in the castle of her territory, a panicked goblin maid rushed in.

"It's not good... It's not good... Your Royal Highness, just now the Minister of State came to report that a large-scale plague suddenly broke out across the empire..."

The petite and beautiful Princess Vanessa fell to the ground with the scepter in her hand.

...

The plague broke out!

It was as if a plague god of death had just wandered through the territory of the goblin empire. From south to north, from east to west, a terrifying plague of astonishing scale broke out in the entire goblin empire.

All the goblins infected with the plague have a characteristic, that is, the whole body is festered, and the green skin is covered with large and small bleeding spots. Once infected with the plague, even the strongest goblin will collapse in an instant, and become a poor guy who can only scratch his body, tear his skin open, overflow with pus and blood, and then spit out blood!

In the history of the development of the goblin plane, it is not without the outbreak of large-scale plagues. But that kind of plague usually has a clear and intuitive source, and as long as the traffic is cut off, the scale of the plague outbreak will always be greatly limited.

But this plague is obviously different from the past, not only the scale of the outbreak is huge, but also the characteristics displayed are even more strange, making the goblins terrified.

That is... The fatality rate of this plague is surprisingly low!

It was as if a certain demon god wanted to play a vicious joke with the goblins. Although the number of goblins infected with the plague rose sharply, the number of deaths was not many.

Among the goblins infected with the plague, except for those very weak individuals who could not withstand the torment of the plague toxins and died, most of the goblins were dying of pain and suffering all kinds of torture, but they still survived and were not tortured by the plague. The plague germs took the last life.

This also confirmed from the side that the source of the plague came from those evil wizards!

Many goblin doctors sent by the goblin royal family finally discovered that the source of the plague outbreak was the polluted water source of the goblins, but this obviously did not help. The large-scale outbreak of the plague spread rapidly among goblins, and spread from cities to villages and towns, and from villages and towns to large and small settlements everywhere.

The weakening of the goblin's power immediately triggered a backlash of power, and those miserable foreign races oppressed by the goblin immediately set off a vigorous wave of rebellion everywhere. Due to the fact that a large number of goblin mechanics, the main combat force, were infected with the plague, the goblin towns scattered all over the country lacked the protection of powerful magic power, and fell into the hands of alien races one after another.

In order to protect themselves, those goblin towns that have not yet fallen have to massacre alien slaves in their territory, and this will inevitably arouse fierce resistance from the other side.

For a time, the goblin garrison, the militia, and the local legion fought against the aliens, causing countless casualties on both sides.

A terrible plague sweeping across the goblin plane has plunged the goblin empire into a precarious state!
