The old goblin's time is numbered!
The delay in capturing several wizards created a huge loophole in the 'Eternal Life Plan' that it planned. In order to continue its own life, it had to compromise with a strong man from another plane.
When the gate of the plane is opened, the entire goblin plane will become a vassal of the half-dragon empire of the alien plane. And the old goblin will get the high-energy life body he expected, and then smoothly complete the transition from flesh and blood life to magical life.
Originally, these secret goblin royal families knew nothing about it, but after Princess Vanessa was taken captive to the Iron Capital, the goblin royal family sent a large number of spies and eyeliners to infiltrate there, and only then accidentally discovered the old goblin's secret.
At this time in the steel capital, most of the goblin residents have been turned into hard labor by the old goblin, working day and night to build the gate of the plane for it. On the outskirts of the steel capital, patrols and mercenary camps of venture capital companies are everywhere, and all roads and ports leading to the steel capital have been completely blocked.
Meanwhile, the old goblin's private army retreated into the Iron City, turning it into a heavily guarded magic city.
And the selfishness of the old goblin also caused the goblin royal family to suffer from both sides. Inside the plane, evil wizards are making waves, while outside the plane, the half-dragon empire is watching. Even if they gather all their strength to defeat the wizard, they are destined not to escape the fate of being enslaved and plundered by the half-dragon people.
So at this critical moment, the goblins finally lowered their heads, ready to reconcile and cooperate with the wizards, and to thwart the old goblin's plot first.
The goblin royal family documents brought by Tigule indicate that as long as the wizards help the goblins defeat Gazlowe and thwart the attack of the half-dragons, the goblin royal family is willing to hand over part of their power and share the resources of the goblin plane with the wizards.
Of course, Greem wholeheartedly accepted the goblin royal family's proposal.
Now that he has come to the goblin plane, everything here is destined to become his territory and wealth. How could he allow another army from another plane to enter the goblin plane and compete with him for the dominance of the plane.
That old goblin was indeed a scourge, and by keeping it, he really poked a big hole in himself.
Greem knew very little about the half-dragon plane. In the event of an encounter and conflict with them in the Iron City, Greem has no absolute confidence in whether the seven wizards next to them can defeat the entire army on the opposite side.
So at the end of the thought, Greem's gaze involuntarily rested on Alice's face.
As if sensing the burning heat in Greem's gaze, Alice smiled sweetly: "Since we're here, we must get something... let's do it!"
With Alice's endorsement, Greem's uneasy heart finally became calm and resolute again.
"We agree to join forces!" Greem nodded to Tigule, "Then do you have any specific battle plans?"
"Sneak into the Steel City... Destroy the gate of the plane under construction... Rescue Princess Vanessa... Kill Gazlowe..."
As the plenipotentiary, Tigule immediately gave a detailed account of the "Strategy of the Iron City", and all the wizards present were listening quietly.
...
Five days later.
The periphery of the steel capital.
Here is a fortified pass in a gap in the mountain.
The battle had just ended, and the more than thirty goblin mercenaries stationed here had turned into corpses all over the place. The wolf dung above the pass had been ignited, and a billowing black smoke was rising, which could be clearly seen even dozens of miles away.
A team of elite goblins was quickly cleaning the battlefield, while Tigule accompanied seven wizards in black robes and stood on the pass, looking at the steel castle standing on the top of a high mountain dozens of miles away. All.
This is a breathtaking steel city.
The entire city is located at the highest point of the snow-capped Sulai Mountains, and is almost entirely made of huge Luo stone and metal. The city is built on the mountain, and most of the urban buildings are located in the mountainside of the Sulai Mountains.
The Iron City has two gates that are more than 30 meters high, and on both sides of the gate are huge statues of goblin sages. The smallest statue among them is more than 20 meters tall, and they are all exquisitely and perfectly carved, lifelike.
For the convenience of entering and exiting, the Steel City built a flat and solid stone avenue, which can drive 5 goblin chariots side by side at the same time.
It's just that at this moment, there are seven or eight temporary camps on both sides of this stone road, where thousands of goblin mercenaries are stationed. If you want to forcefully pass here, I'm afraid a bloody battle is inevitable.
According to the plan of the goblin royal family, a large number of royal guards and local legions passed through the Minar Pass and attacked the gate of the Iron Capital from east and west.
And when they held back the main force of the goblin mercenaries, the elite troops led by Tigule's magic weapon army and wizards entered the steel capital through underground channels.
The gates of the Iron City were built for the convenience of goblin caravans entering and exiting. However, it would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport large quantities of goods to the mountain by caravans. So the goblins used their proficient engineering attainments to dig out an underground tunnel extending in all directions in the underground mountainside of the steel capital, and laid a convenient steam train track there.
Every day, rumbling steam trains travel through these dense spider web-like underground networks, bringing in a large amount of coal, firewood, food and fruit from the foot of the mountain, and then transporting the daily waste produced by the city of steel And the engineering waste was transported outside the mountain.
Without the guidance of Tigule, I'm afraid Greem and these wizards might not be able to penetrate the inner city of the Iron Capital within ten days. After all, every key node of these underground tunnels is garrisoned by old goblin private troops. Once they really want to fight, the news of their arrival will not be concealed!
So, here, even Greem must obey Tigule's command.
They used surprise tactics to attack an entrance and exit at the foot of the mountain, and then took a steam train emitting black smoke, advancing along the laid track to the depths of the mountainside.
Some pre-arranged goblin spies became the train captain, while Greem and others hid in a large wooden box filled with oats and fruits, and relied on the goblin's cover to pass through the checkpoints smoothly.
The steam train is speeding fast in the empty underground passage, and the high dome is inlaid with a lighting crystal at intervals. When the train was about to reach the next checkpoint, the captain of the train, Dottel, sounded the whistle, and then turned off the steam valve to slow down the speed of the train.
This is a temporary stop.
On both sides of the platform, two huge goblin chariots firmly occupy the most favorable attack positions. The magic cannons on the top of the chariots are facing the slowly approaching steam train. And a goblin in a yellow uniform is holding a red signal light in his hand, signaling for the train to stop.
Dressed in a huge suit and billowing black smoke, the steam train slowly stopped in the middle of the platform with the screeching sound of chopping boards rubbing against the rails.
"Routine inspection!" A little boss with the appearance of a goblin commander shouted, "What's in this car?"
"It's all oatmeal and fruit..." Dottel, the ground precision detective who had been lurking here for a while, leaned out half of the locomotive and replied loudly. Its body and face are covered with black ash from the black smoke, and it is not likely that it will be recognized by the other party.
"Open the carriage... everything must be checked..." the little boss waved his arms and shouted arrogantly.
"I still need to check?... From the entrance to here, I have been checked 7 times, why do I need to check?" Dottel pretended to be dissatisfied and muttered: "If you continue to delay, this batch of fruits will be destroyed. Then At that time, you just wait to eat rotten apples, bad bananas... "
"Open it quickly... don't talk so much nonsense!" The little boss gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Do you think we are willing to go to such trouble? This is an instruction from the company's upper management. All trains entering the steel capital must be strictly inspected."
The goblin guards swarmed up and pulled open the iron barrel-like train box boards, and what they saw was a pile of large wooden boxes full of boxes. Several wooden boxes at the door have been pried open, revealing the golden tangerines, dates, muga fruits, and salad fruits inside...
Several hungry goblins grabbed the fruit and stuffed it into their mouths. The sweet honey juice immediately flowed down the corners of their mouths, and it also devoured the few goblins who were blocked behind.
"Why are you so anxious?" The little boss picked up his whip and whipped it viciously: "Finish the work for me first. After the inspection, carry two boxes of fruits to the platform. Are you still worried that you won't have anything to eat? Hurry up!" Quick... get to work first!"
Under the urging of the little boss, the goblin guards yelled and began to check the goods in the wooden boxes one by one.
However, just as a goblin guard pried open a particularly huge wooden box, the fruit inside suddenly poured down like a flood.
A tall metal body stood up from the wooden box!
magic equipment! There are magic weapons hidden in the wooden box!
Many goblin guards immediately ran away in fright, and the little boss at the end even jumped back to the platform, shouting loudly at the goblin chariot in the distance: "Fire...fire...there are enemies inside!"
But what surprised him inexplicably was that no matter how he shouted and waved his arms, the goblin chariot didn't move at all. Instead, puffs of black smoke diffused from the inside, and condensed into a mysterious black robe in the open space beside the car.
witch... wizard...
Seeing this scene, why didn't the little leader understand that his group of people had encountered the most terrifying evil wizards!
Not caring about directing the mob, the little boss ran towards the nearest emergency exit.
As long as it gets in there, relying on its familiarity with the underground tunnels, it is sure to get rid of any pursuers.
But unfortunately, with a flash of red light, its head rolled and flew into the sky!
