Age of Adepts

Chapter 529: The two meet

Views:

When the mighty space fluctuations slowly disappeared, the third batch of reinforcements arrived at the goblin plane.

This time there were still two people, Alice and the violent witch Sophia.

And their arrival obviously also significantly enhanced the strength of the Greem camp, and the number of powerful wizards changed from five to seven. And with Alice's unique "fate divination", as long as the information is not deliberately concealed by the enemy, she can obtain more or less clues through routine divination once a day.

As long as she is there, no matter how big the enemy's move is, it will be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of Greem's camp.

It is precisely because of Alice's importance that she undoubtedly occupies an extremely important core position in Greem's camp. Normally, Greem would not let her take risks easily, let alone let her go on the battlefield. So Greem quickly recalled Mary and Billis, and asked Mary to personally protect Alice.

In this way, the seven wizards who came to the goblin plane reunited and began to discuss the follow-up strategy against the goblin empire.

Among the seven wizards, Mary and Billis tended to come forward to contact Gazlowe. As long as it was greedy enough, Greem's camp could definitely make a peer-to-peer transaction with it by exchanging benefits. As long as it hits its appetite, it can sell the goblin plane once, and naturally it can sell it twice.

The newcomer Sophia tends to contact the goblin princess Vanessa, after all, she represents the orthodoxy of the goblin plane. Although Greem and the others have made her blossom inside and out, if she raises her arms, her appeal to the goblins is still far stronger than that rebel.

And from the side information, we can know that Princess Vanessa has always been known for her generosity, benevolence and love for her people. If he could bargain with her with the plague-infected goblin, it would be much better than contacting that unpredictable Gazlowe.

Sabrina the Robot Girl and Endor the Poison Woman remain neutral!

Although the two sides disagree, the strategies they adopt are similar, that is, to win over one side and attack the other. And the heaviest bargaining chip held in the hands of one's own side is the terrible plague that has spread to 1/3 of the territory of the goblin empire and roughly estimated to have infected nearly 2.6 million goblins.

As long as the voodoo doll is still in Greem's hands, he can control the life and death of these diseased goblins. According to Greem's knowledge, the total population of the entire goblin empire is only about 11 million, and 2.6 million goblins is already equivalent to 1/4 of the total population of goblins.

If such a large number of goblins died of the plague, then for the goblin empire, even its ruling foundation would become shaky.

After all, the development of the entire goblin empire is somewhat deformed, focusing on alchemy machinery and magic energy machinery, and applying them to every corner of daily life. However, the highly developed mechanical civilization cannot promote the improvement of the medical system, so the doctors trained by the goblin empire are slightly better than the witch doctors of the barbaric tribes, but they cannot reach the heights of goblin engineers and alchemists.

However, just as Greem and the others were silently planning their next move in the dark, shocking news suddenly came from within the Great Goblin Empire.

Something happened to that Princess Vanessa!

...

This is a goblin town located 130 miles northeast of the royal castle.

As a satellite village of the royal castle, the town has a resident population of just over 300, but there are more than 2,000 foreign technicians and craftsmen. There are as many as 25 blacksmith shops and forges that exist as metallurgical facilities.

Every day, a large number of special metal ingots are sent here by goblin caravans or goblin airships, and then smelted into metal components at high temperatures according to the requirements of the royal castle to support the forging needs of the royal engineers and alchemists.

So the town was filled with black smoke all day long, and the red molten iron in the steelmaking furnace flowed out continuously like a stream, and then distributed to different forging factories through continuous pipelines. The loud sound of the metal rolling die, the abnormal sound of the mold being rapidly cooled by water, and the harsh cutting sound of the goblin lathe grinding and restorating metal components...

The whole town is like a huge processing factory. Any outsider who comes here for the first time will be disturbed by the noisy and sharp metal noise inside, and would like to turn their ears away.

However, at this moment, in a large storage warehouse on the edge of the town, two groups of goblins were confronting each other fiercely, and the atmosphere in the venue seemed extremely tense.

In the warehouse, there are more than a dozen battle magic equipment on the right side. The front end of the metal body is branded with the emblem of the goblin royal family, the Undermine family, obviously belonging to the royal magic equipment guard. And beside them, there are nearly a hundred goblin warriors wearing royal battle uniforms holding arcane rifles, occupying most of the commanding heights and favorable positions in the warehouse, and the black holes of the muzzles are aiming firmly The opposite 'enemy'.

It was also a group of goblins who confronted the royal guard.

Although their costumes are a bit messy, their elite and ferocity are not reduced in the slightest. And on their chests, there is a uniformly branded head of a goblin with a monocle.

As outsiders, the number of these goblins is not large, only more than twenty. However, the metal shells of the four battle magic machines at the forefront were filled with brilliant light of magic energy, and they looked like Tier 2 magic machines made of high-grade alloys.

In contrast, among the thirteen magical equipment of the Royal Magic Equipment Guard, there were only two Tier 2 magical equipment.

Such a huge power contrast undoubtedly made the combat mechanics of the Royal Magic Equipment Guard look dignified, and the haze in their hearts was even more difficult to dispel.

After this period of testing, it is an undoubted fact that Tier 2 magic equipment is stronger than Tier 1 magic equipment.

Under normal circumstances, a Tier 2 magic weapon can only compete with 3-4 Tier 1 magic weapons. But once the Tier 2 magic equipment forms a team, two Tier 2 magic equipment can easily kill the double-digit Tier 1 magic equipment.

Therefore, in the situation on the field, the Royal Magic Equipment Guards have a numerical advantage on the bright side. But if they really wanted to fight, the four 2nd-tier magic machines on the opposite side could easily flatten the two opposing 2nd-tier magic machines and the remaining eleven 1st-tier magic machines.

As for the royal goblin guards, on such a battlefield, they can only play an auxiliary and containment role. Facing a rampant combat magic weapon, the combat power they can display is not optimistic.

Just at the back end of the storage warehouse, an ordinary alchemy carriage stopped, and a petite and graceful goblin girl with a hazy veil walked out of it.

And waiting in front of the carriage was a Tigule driving a spider-type 2nd-order magic weapon.

"Princess, are you sure you want to go in?" Tigule's voice sounded muffled when it came out of the vent hole of the Magic Equipment: "You have to know that once the negotiation fails, that bastard will definitely turn his back..."

"Teacher Tigule, I insist on this!" The goblin girl under the veil is Vanessa in disguise. At this moment, her face is full of anxiety, worry, resentment and irritability. But when she walked into the back door of the warehouse with her chest up, all her worries and anxieties were swept away, and she became the goblin princess full of confidence and energy again... Vanessa!

Tigule sighed secretly, and controlled the spider magic weapon to slowly follow behind her.

As if aware of Vanessa's arrival, a tall and mighty terrifying magic weapon also appeared behind the goblin on the other side. It looks exactly like a magic mech, but the thickness of the metal armor is astonishing. At first glance, it looks like a guardian magic weapon that focuses on defense.

As for the special alloys and rare resources used to build this magic weapon, it has reached an astonishing level. Judging by the extravagant use of its materials, it may be more than enough to build 3 sets of Tier 2 magic weapons!

"Vanessa...beautiful Princess Vanessa, since you are honored to come to see me, why don't you take off your veil and let me see your beautiful and enchanting face..." Suddenly an old and hoarse voice came from the giant magic tool. goblin voice.

"Bold!" Tigule roared angrily, and the spider-shaped magic weapon swiped its eight metal joint legs, clanging and clanging, blocking the giant magic weapon: "Gazlowe, although you You are a prince, but you can't be so rude in front of the princess!"

"Jie Jie Jie..." The old goblin in the giant magic tool couldn't help but start laughing wildly: "Tigule, you are just a toothless old dog in front of the royal family. You jumped out and barked before the master said anything, don't worry about getting hurt." Is it a good thing for your master?"

Tigule was furious, and was about to attack the enemy recklessly, but at this time, Princess Vanessa, who was wearing a veil, had already walked behind it, gently raised her hand to take off the veil, and whispered: "Tigule Teacher Le, please bear with me, let me talk to Gazlowe!"

Vanessa's soft and sweet voice is like a refreshing spring flowing in the dry desert, which immediately cools down the fierce confrontation scene.

Despite some reluctance, Tigule still suppressed his anger, and the spider magic tool stepped aside, revealing Vanessa behind him.

"I'm already here! What about you?" Vanessa stared firmly at the giant magic weapon.

Seemingly hesitating for a moment, steaming heat came out from the rows of exhaust pipes behind the giant magic weapon, and the metal shields at the front of the magic weapon were unfolded layer by layer, and it took seven floors to reveal the old goblin Gaz. Rubi's figure.

Compared with before, the old goblin Gazlowe is obviously a little older at this moment.

Its green skin was covered with hideous age spots, dark purple blotches that almost obscured its green goblin skin. There are layers of wrinkled skin like dead tree bark, and when you look at it suddenly, there is almost no luster on the surface of the skin.

With the lifespan of ordinary goblins of 60-80, Gazlowe, who lived to 96 years old, can be called the old birthday boy among goblins. Unlike Tigule, whose life was extended after being promoted, Gazlowe was still an ordinary goblin, so his life should have ended ten or twenty years ago.

But with the power and resources in his hands, the greatest engineer and inventor of the goblin plane obviously adopted some methods to prolong his life.

This can be seen from some transparent thin tubes connected between it and the giant magic weapon!
