Chapter 11 Morale Collapse
Chapter 11 Morale Collapse
The hundreds of goblin troops inevitably fell into chaos after the simultaneous deaths of their two temporary leaders.
As Luo Qi had predicted.
Amidst the chaos, a certain order still existed—the goblins collectively fled towards the village, instinctively believing it to be the safest place.
"Now is the time to expand our gains."
Loki walked down from the high ground in a carefree manner, and whenever a goblin fell within his range, he would casually shoot an arrow.
The hunting process was as leisurely as taking a stroll.
None of the nearly one hundred goblins fought back. If they had mustered their courage, they might have caused Loki a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, these guys were terrified.
All that remained in their minds was the thought of escaping, and the screams of their kind behind them forced them to unleash their last bit of potential, just to outrun their kin.
One, ten, twenty...
In just a few minutes, Loki had recruited more than fifty goblin subjects.
With the combined efforts of the priestess and the scout, the goblins that had been pursued suffered heavy casualties, with only a handful returning to the village.
of course.
The fact that these goblins were able to return to the village is also related to Loki's deliberate indulgence.
"Goblins are cowardly creatures." Loki's lips curled slightly. "The goblins who escaped brought back terrible news. What will the goblins left behind in the village think?"
After some calculations, the Emperor's Banner gained more than fifty subjects, and his strength has now nearly quadrupled.
Most importantly, with another fifty-five subjects, the Emperor's Banner can now unleash a great deal more power.
For example, the range of influence of the illusion array can be expanded several times.
That's enough to cover the entire goblin village.
"Killing goblins...is it that easy?"
Miss Scout couldn't help but mutter to herself, an expression of disbelief on her face.
When the Rose Squad was first formed, they took on a similar mission, and the captain's decision was to charge straight into the goblin village.
Thanks to the high-caliber Rose Squad, those battles did not end in defeat.
But after the battle, everyone in the squad was in a sorry state, even the captain's plate armor was stained with a lot of green goblin blood, which was one of the reasons why the captain of the Rose Squad hated goblin missions.
"It might be simpler than you think," Misfield said with a light laugh. "Our task now becomes figuring out how to prevent the goblins from escaping."
really.
Chaos erupted once again in the goblin tribe.
"Are goblins' fighting spirit so weak? Don't they have shamans?" Miss Scout asked, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Of course not...
Luo Qi thought to himself that the formation set up by the Human Emperor Banner suppressed the rationality of the alien races, which is why they were so prone to chaos.
But the Emperor's Banner is related to his most core secret.
There's no need to explain to people you don't have a deep enough relationship with.
"The key is that goblin shaman!"
Misfield said coldly, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Once that shaman escapes, it won't take him long to rebuild a goblin tribe even stronger than the Black Ape Mountain tribe."
Goblins are far too common.
When choosing a reproductive strategy, normal organisms either choose elitism, spending a lot of energy to raise only one or two individuals, or they choose mass production, mass-producing a large number of offspring, but most of those offspring will die out through natural selection.
The goblin's choice is to have both.
Among all creatures in nature, a single goblin is not weak, and their ability to plunder females from other species for reproduction allows them to expand their populations at an extremely rapid pace.
"It can't escape."
Luo Qi shook her head confidently and said calmly.
He didn't think the conspiracy behind the Black Ape Mountain Goblins would cause him much trouble. When the conspiracy broke out, the subjects under the Emperor's Banner would easily crush the mastermind behind it.
Goblin Village.
The goblin shaman gripped his staff tightly, his face ashen.
After sending his two sons out, he had a vague sense of unease, but it was too late to stop it.
The two tall sons had already spotted her during the chase; the fleeing woman was an extraordinary woman… the allure of this goblin was too deadly.
Although goblins can reproduce with most female creatures, the goblins born from different female creatures vary considerably.
Rabbits can barely give birth to goblins, but the vast majority of mothers die during their first birth, and a significant number die along with their goblin babies.
The vast majority of goblins born from goats are ordinary goblins, and it is extremely difficult for them to become elite goblins.
Goblins born from wild boars are more robust, and large goblin tribes often use such mothers to expand their tribes rapidly, but it is extremely difficult for such mothers to give birth to spellcasters.
There is a certain possibility that goblins born from humans will evolve into goblin shamans.
Extraordinary females among humans or humanoid creatures are the best of the best, and goblin heroes who appear only once in a long while in the goblin world often come from such backgrounds.
Ascending to godhood through the ninth level.
The differences between each level are extremely exaggerated.
Goblin elites are only first-tier transcendents, and their direct combat strength is even weaker than that of first-tier human transcendents, let alone comparable to the most common and powerful first-tier powerhouses among humans, the Origin Knights.
The Goblin Hero is a Tier 3 Transcendent, which is comparable to even the titled Knights among humans.
A moment of greed made the goblin shaman hesitate.
Before it could even realize the problem, bad news reached its ears, and it vaguely realized that the situation was already developing into something irreversible.
"Lion Head, Tiger Tail, you two listen up!"
The goblin shaman's voice was hoarse as he looked at his other two sons, "Take the rest of your children and avenge your brother! Believe me, the enemy that has come this time is not scary. As long as you children muster your courage to fight, it will not be difficult to destroy those humans."
He tempted her, saying, "After the battle, the human female trophy will be given to the bravest one, understand?"
Instantly.
The remaining two goblins roared again.
With their eyes bloodshot, they led the remaining goblins toward the humans who were approaching the village entrance.
Behind these goblins, a goblin shaman chanted incantations as he cast a spell to rouse the blood of his children.
Once the children had completely lost their minds, their thoughts consumed by fighting and reproduction, the goblin shaman turned and walked into his house without looking back, disappearing under the bed into a tunnel.
"Damn it!"
The goblin shaman's face was extremely grim. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Didn't the humans make a pact with us? Where did these adventurers come from? Why would they be so foolish as to provoke our tribe? And why is this adventurer team so strong? Is there really some kind of curse on Black Ape Mountain?"
It fled quickly into the distance, muttering to itself.
"Hmph, you despicable humans, daring to break the contract! Just wait for the great goblins' revenge! We'll give you a big 'surprise'!"
