Struggle in the Steam Age

This war can be regarded as a big victory for mankind, because even in the face of goblins, they can wipe out tens of thousands of goblins and only 17 people are killed, and more than 100 people injured can be regarded as a perfect victory. Up.

However, after the war, the construction of this land became Lawrence's main task. If you want to accomplish this, go to the entrance to the plain and block the cave system within the mountain that can be used by the group of goblins.

So early in the morning of the next day, Lawrence took the elite troops and Fatina's rat people who had just completed an important sacrifice to the big horned rat marched towards the mountain. In fact, the mountain range is only more than 40 kilometers from the coastline, but the local terrain forced Lawrence and the others to spend two days on the march.

Others, under the leadership of Safir, began to build a wharf and a small town for people to live in, and at the same time reclaimed the land that was once cultivated but now deserted.

Although Saifei didn't understand this aspect very well, it would not be very difficult to follow the very detailed development manual left by Lawrence and to help with a few retainers.

Not to mention that Lawrence’s previous invitation to the Agricultural Church has been responded to. It only takes two or three days for an agricultural church team to arrive here by boat. In this two-pronged situation, even without his on-site command, it is enough to make the race. Phil insisted until it was time for him to return.

"Why do you say this place is called Niujiaowan?" The marching process was very boring, but Lawrence found something to do. While marching forward, he asked the representatives of the local citizens who followed him to collect information. "The terrain of this place is not like cow horns, and I haven't seen any cow-related animals on this land."

"That's because there were several tauren tribes stationed here first, my lord." A middle-aged man in his 30s and 40s who served as a company commander in the militia said in a humble manner. "When humans landed on this island for the first time, the captain at the time established some connections with these mild-tempered tauren."

"But later, with the rapid increase in the number of goblins in the center of the island, we humans had to leave this important early trading stronghold. Then we lost any information about the tauren. It is also unclear whether they left here or were the goblins. They were wiped out. But at least the humans on this island have never seen them since. Only one place name is left on the map."

While talking, the militia company commander pointed to the top of the hillside that was not covered by tall plants and said, "Look, according to the legend, there was a tribe of tauren in the past on this hill. The group of masters on this island said that when they came to investigate later, they did not find any valuable treasures or animal bones in the tribe. If there were no accidents, the tauren people probably moved away on their own initiative."

This news didn't make much sense to Lawrence. After all, it has been more than 100 years since the Tauren moved out, and it is impossible to continue tracking even if there are any traces left. However, if it was only as a process of understanding the history of the island, this matter still made Lawrence quite rewarding.

For example, tauren and cow are not the same, they are omnivorous creatures. Use animal husbandry and gathering as a means of collecting food. If there have been several tauren tribes on this land, then it can at least show that this land is rich enough. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a guy with a big appetite like Tauren to stick to this kind of place.

Two days later, Lawrence finally arrived at the foot of the northernmost mountain range on this flat land. And five or six kilometers further west is the intersection of mountains and rivers. This piece of land is actually a plain surrounded by mountains and rivers. If the mountains extend all the way up the island, it can be seen as a mountain range stretching out from the highest peak of the entire island to the west.

"The flow rate of the river downstream of this river is not moderate. The goblins cannot cross the river on a large scale. If a small group of goblins cross the river, they will be wiped out by us as long as they are found." The cave half-hidden by hanging vines on the mountain wall was introduced by the militiaman beside Lawrence.

"Therefore, as long as the passage between the beach and the mountains at the intersection of the mountains and the river is blocked, the goblins in the depths of the island will not be able to enter this plain in a large amount."

"This is why the pioneers chose this plain as their foothold at the beginning, because this land is not only fertile enough and has great development prospects, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"What everyone didn't expect was that the goblins actually found a series of caves in the mountains of this place that can pass through the mountains. This also caused the group of goblins to bypass the heavily guarded mountain roads smoothly. In the plains. Once the goblins gather, the difficulty to deal with them will increase exponentially."

Speaking of this, the militia showed a pity on the face. If it were not for these problems, the land contradictions on the island should not be as severe as it is now. He didn't need to risk his life like he did now, the earl in front of his tireless followers came here to fight the goblin.

Lawrence knew that what the militia said was true, because the distribution of goblins was too wide, so there were many scholars studying goblins. There are also a lot of works describing goblins.

A small number of goblins have actually been at the bottom of the wild ecological chain, and ordinary beasts can pose a deadly threat to them. But as their numbers increase, the degree of difficulty will increase exponentially. If they gather to the size of tens of thousands, they will even give up like the tide like the previous two days and drown everything blocking their way.

Although the tauren belongs to the silver race just like the elves, that is to say, with a silver body, as long as they practice, they can smoothly upgrade to an expert level. But like the elves, they also belong to the difficult households of fertility, and this has become their fatal weakness in the face of massive goblins.

In the same way, tauren is also very good at fighting in dark and complicated underground spaces. For example, there are even some tauren city-states in the dark regions, but the prerequisite is that these underground spaces must not be too small in size. But the problem is that the tauren in the tunnels where the goblins are active now can’t even enter, let alone fight in it~www.wuxiahere.com~ And now this kind of embarrassment is what Lawrence has to face, although for humans These tunnels can still be entered, but it is already a bit difficult to walk along the tunnels with a full set of equipment, let alone fighting in such places.

"Squeak—the big horned rat will bless us." After the team set up a camp at the entrance of the cave, the priest of the rat man also led the rat man to dig out a cave altar to start a sacrificial ceremony. Following the chanting of the last prayer, Lawrence could feel a great existence in the void casting extremely small attention on that simple altar.

All the rat people present immediately knelt down around the altar and said a prayer, while the humans bowed in the direction of the altar to show the true respect of the gods.

After a few seconds, this sense of gaze disappeared, and there was a feverish flame in the priest's eyes. He waved the spike in his hand and pointed at the entrance of the cave and shouted, "According to the will of the gods, let us and our human allies clean up all the goblins in the cave and take this land back for our lord."

"Squeak--" All the rat people chanted together. After the slogans were shouted, everyone present, whether human or rat people, stood on the clearing ground, and began to form a mixed team according to the orders of Lawrence and Fatina. Go into battle.
