Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 In this world full of extraordinary powers such as magic, the living space of intelligent creatures is not limited to the ground just like the earth. Whether in the water, underground, in the sky, or even on other planes, there are traces of the life of intelligent creatures.

　　The underground space called the Dark Region is an important place for intelligent creatures to live. The history here is even longer than that of the surface world, and there are many creatures like ghost monsters that are almost completely extinct on the surface.

　　 The Dark Land is a barren world, which is much barren than the surface world. Because water sources in this area are very rare, lakes are often considered the biggest feature. Here, the tunnel stretches for several kilometers, sometimes swells into a cave several hundred meters wide, and sometimes shrinks so narrow that it is difficult for halflings to pass. The largest cave hall is like a microcosm of the surface, with hills, valleys, underground rivers and lakes. In short, this is a three-dimensional space that is difficult to see elsewhere.

　　Because the dark area is only a few hundred meters away from the surface of the ground, occasionally some tunnels leading to the surface will be created due to topographical changes. The goblins came here through such a tunnel.

　　 "Water, give me some water." As everyone discussed the next move, the wounded on the stretcher groaned. Lawrence immediately took out the salt and sugar mixture and put it in a bowl of water that he had just taken out and stirred it well before passing it over.

　　 After drinking half a bowl of water, the wounded finally recovered. Everyone immediately focused their attention on him, and through simple inquiries, they finally knew what had just happened.

　　 The wounded man was a farm worker on a farm. Because it happened to be on vacation today, he took advantage of the rain to gather some mushrooms in a forest next to him to prepare soup for lunch.

　　 Unfortunately, when he entered the forest for about 100 meters, he fell into a trap and was stabbed in his leg by a stake under the trap. Even if he made a decision to dig a small hole in the cave wall with a small shovel he carried with him and crawled out, he still encountered a goblin who was alarmed and came out to check shortly after he came out. As a result, he was used by a few goblins in the process of fleeing. The wooden spear and the bow and arrow came several times on him, and he ran out of the forest with one breath.

　　 But when he ran to the main road, the group of goblins stopped pursuing, which is why he was able to escape a life while being injured.

"No wonder I just said why I lost a lot of vegetables in my vegetable field in the past few days." The young man in a plaid shirt and jeans who was picked up by the wounded on the road just now said, "I thought it was A mouse or a rabbit patronized my vegetable garden. It seems that it should be the group of goblins."

　　 "You are really lucky." Lawrence said to the wounded after listening to the chattering words of those around him. "The group of goblins seemed to have just arrived here and didn't know the surrounding situation, so they didn't dare to expose themselves. That's why they retreated after seeing the avenue and finding traces of others.

"Furthermore, according to this gentleman’s account, the goblins who chased him had green skin and were also covered in furs made of rough animal fur. This means that the goblins are the goblins living on the surface, probably for some reason. After entering the dark area, he ran out."

　　 "Then what should we do now?" Because there are wounded here, more and more people gather. One of the farmers asked? "Are you going to inform the nearby garrison?"

　　 There are often many troops stationed here around big cities. For example, there are 16 key fortresses around Eagle Fort, and a circular railway links these fortresses together. At any time, there will be two armored trains on this railway patrolling the railway ready to support the attacked location.

　　 And the agricultural area where Lawrence and the others are now is inside the defensive front, there is a fortress like this two kilometers away from the manor, so someone proposed to go there to seek help from the garrison.

　　 "This is a good idea, but we'd better go and investigate first to see the specific situation." When the farmer's voice fell, a slightly older voice came from the outside. "If this group of goblins is just the broken up part of a large tribe, wouldn't it be a joke that we mobilized so many people?"

　　 Turning around, Lawrence noticed that the visitor was wearing a yellow and green robe, with a holy emblem embossed with wheat ears, **** and sickle on his chest.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Priest." Lawrence greeted the priest of the agricultural church in front of him. "What you said is very reasonable, we should indeed organize some people to investigate."

　　 The priest's words reminded Lawrence that his judgment just now cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate. On the one hand, the probability that the goblin tribe on the surface must pass from a place like the dark region to an all-tailed establishment is not high.

　　 On the other hand, it is impossible for a large tribe of goblins to pass through the cordon around the city without disturbing anyone, but some scattered guys may be missed by then. If the person just met was a tribe with a level of thousands of people, it is absolutely impossible for the goblins to shrink back into the woods after seeing traces of humans.

　　 "We need some volunteers now, if the extraordinary are better." The white-bearded priest of the Agricultural Church began to organize an investigation team after persuading others.

　　 Because the purpose of this investigation is to defend the homeland, everyone is very enthusiastic about signing up. So that the priest had to decline most of the ordinary people. After all, although guns have given these farm workers and farmers the power to beat ordinary goblins, it is safer to entrust such things to the extraordinary in the woods.

　　 Soon a team of five people was organized, and the priest of the agricultural church volunteered to become the leader of the team.

Lawrence naturally joined the team. In addition to him and the priest, there is also a farmer retreat here as a farmer, a magic gunman as a sheriff in the small town in front, and a patrol of the church itself. Lin Ke.

"Let's set off now." After the team was organized, the agricultural church priest's sight was drawn across the faces of each member of the team and then he waved his hand for everyone to start, then turned his head and said to the onlookers and farm workers: "Although in order to prevent the goblins from discovering that we can't send too many people to investigate in the woods, you can take up weapons and prepare for defense."

　　 Just as everyone was preparing, Lawrence and his group of five left the vineyard of the Church of Knowledge and hurried over to the place pointed out by the wounded just now.

　　 After only half an hour, the team rushed to the place where the wounded was found, and the small hill with woods was in front of him.

"Well, everyone first stop. Although the man was attacked after walking more than 100 meters into the forest, but now the situation is unknown, we can't enter rashly." As they walked to the edge of the forest, the leader The priest raised his palms and let everyone stop together.

　　 "Kristen, you go in and investigate and see what happened." After arranging the other people's alert, the priest said to the ranger, and a green shadow rushed into the woods and disappeared in an instant.

　　 "We will act when Christine comes back." The priest looked at the remaining three people and said, "Everyone has a rest now, there is no need to be so nervous."
