Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 Half an hour later, the ranger Christine ran out of the woods. As soon as he returned to the woods, he rushed straight to Lawrence and the others to rest, and then reported to the team members who remained waiting for him, especially the priest who led the team, about the situation they had just detected.

"I touched the edge of their tribe." After taking a sip of water from the water bag, Ranger Christine said while drawing a picture on the sand with his finger, "It's not easy, because there are several reasons A patrol of three or four goblins."

"After bypassing the blockades of several patrols, I walked a little forward, and I found a goblin tribe through the bushes. In this tribe there are 14 or 5 goblin huts built with branches, leaves and vines. In the middle of the shed is a simple fire made of stones, and a dozen goblins are moving around the fire."

　　 "Are there any characteristics of the goblins you saw?" As the captain of this temporary team, the priest asked. "The focus is on the age ratio of the goblins in that tribe, and the equipment of the goblins you found."

　　 "I only saw adult goblins along the way." Kristen said seriously after thinking about it. "The equipment of these goblins is also very messy. For example, some goblins wear leather armor studded with metal pieces, and they also have metal daggers or spears the size of the goblins, but most of them are Everything that can be draped on the body is only draped on the body, and the only weapons are wooden sticks that are sharpened and roasted in the fire."

　　 "That's right, one more point." After describing the goblin, Christine suddenly added. "The goblin huts vary in size, with the largest being more than three times the size of the smallest."

　　 "Thank you, Christine." After listening to Christine's words, the leading priest patted the ranger on the shoulder and said to everyone. "Now the situation is very clear, we are encountering a part of a broken goblin tribe."

　　 Lawrence nodded. As a person who has dealt with goblins a lot, he knows that leather armor and metal weapons are exclusive to the goblins of the big tribe, and it is impossible for a small non-landing spirit to have these things. At the same time, a normal tribe with more than 100 goblins is very chaotic, even without a leader. There will be no patrols of sheds of different sizes representing different classes. All this shows that there are shamans or high-level goblin warriors in command in this tribe.

　　 In addition, the normal goblin tribe has no old people except priests, but there will be many underage goblins. Those disgusting little guys don't stay in the shack obediently, but scurry around. Just now, the ranger didn't find any little goblins moving outside, it can only prove that this tribe is not a naturally formed tribe.

　　 Just as Lawrence was thinking, the priest of the Agricultural Church as the leader simply assigned the task. Soon, the ranger caught a fat wild boar from the surrounding forest.

　　 After he returned with the wild boar **** with five flowers, the priest stepped forward and poured the green liquid from a bottle on his body into the wild boar's mouth. When he closed the wild boar's mouth, the wild boar was completely motionless.

"This is a chronic strong anesthetic commonly used in our agricultural churches. It is generally used to subdue certain irritable animals. Of course, this wild boar fainted directly because I gave too much medicine at once." The priest finished everything. Explained later. "We only have five people. It is not a good idea to go head-to-head with the goblin tribe of more than 100 people. So I want to use these powerful anesthetics as a trap to weaken the power of the goblin tribe as much as possible."

　　 "Then why not use poison?" the retired soldier in the team asked while checking his huge iron tower shield. "I've seen rogues use poison in my adventures before. You can easily kill all kinds of monsters with a little bit of the knife."

"If you are dealing with a small number of enemies, the poison is really good." The leading priest shook his head and said, "But what we have to face is a tribe of goblins, it is impossible to eat our bait at the same time. Although the goblins It has always been known for its low IQ, but if a companion is poisoned to death, other goblins will definitely not continue to eat our bait."

　　 "As for the top poison that can control the time of the poison, it's too expensive, and I don't have that kind of thing." The priest shrugged his shoulders. "Even if I had it, I wouldn't use it on the goblin."

　　 During this time, the anesthetic was also spread throughout the body through the internal circulation of the wild boar, causing the wild boar's heart to stop beating. After discovering that the wild boar was dead, the priest of the Agricultural Church immediately stopped explaining and asked everyone to prepare for action. "Well, the medicine has spread, and we can start to act."

Because of the large number of people in this operation and not everyone is good at moving in the forest, Lawrence and the others did not go straight to the location of the goblin tribe, but after entering the forest, they circled a large circle from shrubs and other trees. The direction of the hills is very close to the goblin tribe.

"Just now I found that the group of goblins was short of manpower, so they focused on the direction close to the road. We are now going around from the other side where they are patrolling less people." The ranger in front just entered the woods. Said to the others who followed, "I hope you can follow my footsteps completely at my command. In this kind of place where you are not used to staying, if you don't pay attention, it is likely to alarm those things."

　　 Lawrence nodded silently and earnestly after listening to the ranger's words, and then took out a metal test tube from his belt, unscrewed the lid and filled a test tube full of withered yellow powder. He sprinkled some on his body first, then told others. "There is deodorant powder in the test tube. Everyone sprinkles a little on the body."

　　 "Things are pretty good." After taking the test tube and smelling it a little, the priest praised Lawrence for pouring some powder from the test tube and spilling it on his body, then turned his head and said to others. "Everyone, sprinkle a little on your body, not too much, a small amount is enough."

　　 After making preparations, the five people walked deep into the forest together. More than 40 minutes later, shortly after everyone quietly crossed a path patrolled by the goblins, the ranger walking in the front raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop.

"It's all right here." Ranger Christine paused and pointed to a space in front of a lot of footprints and said, "If we go further, the group of goblins will set up a lot of traps. It is difficult for us not to be disturbed. Go past their situation."

　　 "Then let's find a place nearby to hide." The priest nodded ~www.wuxiahere.com~ and then turned to the former soldier who was carrying the wild boar and said, "Just put the wild boar here."

　　 "No problem." According to the ranger's instructions, the soldier placed the wild boar in a place where there were traces of goblin activity, and then drew a dagger from his belt and stabbed the wild boar deeply. Soon the smell of blood diffused around the corpse of this wild boar.

　　 "Now we should stay away. The smell of blood will soon attract the goblins." The soldier retreated and told everyone.

　　 The five people immediately moved away from the dead wild boar and hid in the bushes behind a large rock. On the way, Lawrence discovered that the soldier was also an old hand, stabbing so many knives at close range without a drop of blood on the body.

　　 "Will the goblin be fooled by this?" the retired soldier asked while looking at the boar lying on the ground. "A dead pig appeared out of thin air on the ground, with stab wounds on his body. I think this is suspicious."

"Don't worry, no problem." Lawrence explained in a low voice, "These greedy guys stuff everything in their mouths like locusts. I have even seen hungry goblins eating dirt. So they shouldn't give up this one. pig's."

"And except for shamans and some goblins with extraordinary powers, ordinary goblins have a terrible low IQ, even less than five or six-year-old human children, so they will not doubt the origin of these meats. According to the inner class of the goblins, When this pig appears in front of the smarter guys in the goblins, it will be in the form of cooked dishes, so naturally there is no need to worry that they will find something wrong."

　　 "It turned out to be like this..." The former soldier closed his mouth before he finished feeling emotional and signaled everyone to hide. Soon, two goblins jumped out from behind a bush.
