Chapter 128 Are there magic cannons in the kingdom’s army?

The invisible goblin has been staying here all the time.

Rudney was actually treated like a toy, played around with by the Goblin Lord, and ended up meeting his own death.

terrible.

terror.

It's simply an abyss!
He could have just killed the enemy directly, but he chose to use the most cruel method, cutting the enemy's soul into pieces with his sword and toying with him until he died.

Campos felt a bone-chilling chill all over his body. His already uneasy heart was aching even more because of the extreme fear. He felt irritated in his chest and had stomach acid in his throat, making him want to vomit unbearably.

Take a deep breath.

Keep taking deep breaths.

After suppressing the strong urge to vomit, Campos came to his senses. In addition to extreme panic, he also felt grateful for having escaped death.

Fortunately.

It is really the blessing of the devil god.

It made a wise decision at the very beginning. Otherwise, if there had been even a little hesitation or stinginess, it would probably be more than just Rudney lying on the ground now.

This new apostle, the Lord of the Goblins, is definitely a demon from the abyss. He makes monsters tremble with fear and is an unimaginable disaster.

I would rather fight with the Saint and offend the immortal race than go against such an ominous existence!
After witnessing the tragic situation in Rudene and experiencing Guan's cruel methods, Campos was left with an indelible shadow in his heart.

It suppressed its fear and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: [Master Apostle, you are right.]

[If he had no intention of rebelling, why would Rudney be afraid of being searched? ]

[It's obvious that he is guilty! 】

[However, the immortal races are all loyal to the Demon Lord, and have been heroic and heroic figures since ancient times. ]

[If you say they would instruct Rudney to murder you, my Lord, I, the Shark People, will never believe it.]

[In my opinion, the Red Horn tribe's foolish and offensive behavior is likely to be linked to the human allies.]

[Especially, we have recently received news that the Kingdom’s army in the Mosan territory is gathering on a large scale and is about to approach the Great Forest.]

[On the human side, there are many level 40 and 50 warriors who are going to participate in the campaign to conquer the monster tribes. ]

[Rudney must have felt that there was no hope of winning this battle, so he had the idea of ​​betrayal and colluded with the human allies.]

Campos is a clever monster.

Gu An's deliberate knocking just now was by no means just a threat.

Whether Rudne and the Red Horn Tribe were secretly cooperating with the Immortal Race, Campos, as a party with the same fault, must know it very well.

However, sometimes, the truth doesn't matter, a decent reason is the key.

"I don't believe that there would be an immortal race that would murder the Demon God's apostle."

"Deliberately testing loyalty."

The meaning behind these two sentences is already quite clear.

After all, the immortal race is a giant in the monster world, with deep roots and terrifying influence.

Gu An can fight against the immortal race that is causing trouble secretly, but he cannot confront them openly.

Otherwise, with the human allies watching covetously and a huge civil strife breaking out in the monster world, it would be easy for them to reap the benefits.

This is undoubtedly a very unfavorable result for the development of the Goblin Territory.

If you are decent, I am decent too.

They are smiling on the stage, but fighting backstage.

Some things are not as heavy as a few ounces if they are not weighed, but they weigh more than a thousand pounds if they are weighed.

Campos understood this point, so he dared to take the initiative to frame Rudney with a new crime.

Death has no evidence.

The blatant attack on the "Demon Apostle", no matter what the reason, was enough to cause the Red Horn Clan to be exterminated several times.

There is a reason to kill people and establish authority.

Putting all the blame on the "Human Allies" is not only "the right direction" and reasonable, but also can shift the open conflicts to private.

Seeing that Campos was very sensible and took the initiative to provide a perfect opportunity, Gu An smiled with satisfaction and said: "Campos's suggestion is very reasonable."

[The Shark Tribe and the Red Horn Tribe are both top tribes in the inner forest. They must understand each other, and what they say is definitely true.]

[Spread the news and inform all monsters that the Rudnes and the Red Horn tribe have colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed the enemy on the battlefield. Their crimes are unforgivable.]

[Tomorrow, Yuanyi will lead the warriors of the Shark People and the Hairy Dogs to kill the rebels of the Red Horns. No remnants must be let go.]

Gu An waved his hand, and the Fire Goblins dragged Rudne's body out of the council hall and destroyed it in a place where it would not get in the way.

A large tribe, a top giant in the forest, was doomed to a tragic end just because of a few words.

However, in this conference hall, it was as if nothing had happened, without any ripples, and all the people and monsters chose to remain silent tacitly.

Junior goblins came in from outside, holding towels, wiping the blood on the ground, and flushing with clean water to erase all traces of Rud.

After dealing with the corpses, the Hellfire Goblins returned to the meeting hall and rearranged their formation to stand on both sides.

Hope and Campos had already returned to their seats.

Gu An sat on the throne, like a majestic king, playing with everything in the palm of his hand, looking down lazily and evilly at the loyal and capable generals who had been selected.

[Campos, you just said that the human allied forces are gathering in full force and are about to march into the forest?]

Polly has been reporting on news from the outside world on a regular basis.

Even without Campos' reminder, Guan knew that the kingdom's army was about to launch an attack.

After all, the elven saint was missing and Sergeant Jiri was killed. With such a big commotion, it was impossible for the lord general of the Mosan territory to sit idly by.

Faced with the same situation as Sergeant Jiri did, the kingdom's army must be able to rescue the saint and wipe out the goblin territory before the end of the battle outside. Otherwise, the overwhelming public opinion will overwhelm more than just a general.

The Purple Moon Kingdom's position in the human alliance will also be greatly affected.

Gu An is able to see through everything happening in the outside world without leaving his house.

The reason why he deliberately asked questions was, firstly, to avoid exposing the existence of the "Polly" intelligence network, and secondly, to let the monster's "gentry" representative take the initiative to express his position.

Although everyone knows that Gu An is the only one who has the final say now.

But we still have to follow the proper procedures.

What is this called?

This is the image of a ruler who “allows free speech”, “freedom and democracy”, and “fairness and impartiality”.

If something goes wrong, it is because the adviser's suggestion was not thoughtful; if there is merit, it is because of the leader's wise decision.

Something wrong with the inside?

As long as it's acceptable in terms of face.

Although Campos is a sensible monster, he is still a little unsure about Gu An's current thoughts.

Because, from its perspective, the Goblin Territory has level 60 legendary followers, and it would be easy for them to destroy the kingdom's army in the Mosan Territory.

In this situation, there is no need for monsters of all races to send troops to help.

If Gu An were to take action and capture the human town, then the resources obtained would naturally be fully taken over by the Goblin Territory. This would be a very rich profit.

According to common sense, Campos should have taken the initiative to make suggestions at this time, and find a reasonable excuse to give up the opportunity to fight with the kingdom's army.

But think about it the other way around.

This goblin lord doesn't play by the rules at all.

What if this is another test of the "loyalty" of the Shark People?
Gu An's strange methods really left a serious shadow in Campos' heart. He had to think twice before saying every word, and was terrified, fearing that he would fall into a big pit and ruin the future of the entire shark people.

[Master Apostle, the army of the Purple Moon Kingdom has assembled in a big way, and has also recruited many adventurers as temporary advisors. Their strength is unprecedentedly strong.]

[Faced with such a large army, the monsters in and around the forest may not be able to fight alone. ]

[My humble opinion is that we monster tribes should take the initiative to lure part of the human army out of the town and bring them to a remote place to fight.]

【Then, take advantage of this opportunity to send your followers to launch a surprise attack and capture human towns.】

[In this way, if something unexpected happens in the rear camp, the morale of the human allied forces will surely collapse, and the monster tribes and your followers, the Apostle, will attack from both sides and will surely achieve the final victory in one fell swoop.]

After careful consideration, Campos gave the most conservative answer.

It not only reasonably gave up the opportunity to plunder the resources of human towns, but also demonstrated the loyalty of the shark people and their willingness to organize various monster tribes to assist in the war.

Two non-stick pans.

This proposal is absolutely stupid on a military level.

Because they knew that with the powerful weapon Tobiichi, they could completely wipe out the human army without any casualties.

The involvement of various monster races would only add cannon fodder and be a waste of effort.

But from a "political" perspective, Campos' proposal not only showed the shark people's willingness to act as pawns and organize all ethnic groups to join the war, but also reasonably gave up the opportunity to plunder human territory.

Are you laughing at Campos for not understanding military affairs?
Campos laughed and said you didn't know how to save your life.

Hope is honest, but not a fool, and his political thinking is very clear.

It also understood what Campos meant. After repeated consideration, it felt that although this move would sacrifice some monster warriors, it would ensure the best interests of the Apostle, so it followed suit: "Apostle, I also think Campos's proposal is very reasonable."

[If you need to notify the monster tribes, feel free to hand it over to Campos and me.]

Faced with such thoughtful "loyal advice", Gu An was not only not relieved, but shook his head as if with regret.

[Your suggestion is indeed good, but there is one thing you may not know. ]

[Not long ago, the chief general of the Mosan territory purchased a heavy magic cannon from the dwarves. Its power is enough to kill extraordinary monsters.]

Hope and Campos were both shocked when they heard this.

A magic cannon powerful enough to kill monsters in the extraordinary realm?
Is there such a thing?

Isn’t that the end?
Hope stood up excitedly, his tail shaking from side to side nervously: [Apostle, is this information reliable? ]

Gu An nodded solemnly: [This lord once captured Sergeant Jili, the defender of Ivan Town. ]

[This news came from him, and later, after much investigation by the Ghost Goblin, it was confirmed to be completely true.]

Is there really a magic cannon?

of course!

is fake.

Given the level of corruption among the Purple Moon Kingdom's nobles, how could it be possible that any lord or general would be willing to prepare for a rainy day by spending huge sums of money to buy magic cannons from the dwarves in preparation for an unseen battle in the future?

If that’s the case, then why would Gu An spread false information?

It's actually very simple.

The current situation is full of internal and external troubles. The immortal race and the human allies are all eyeing the goblin territory covetously.

Gu An is destined not to stay in the Mosan territory for too long, so he must prepare energy and upgrade the territory as soon as possible.

The kingdom's army that is about to attack us is an excellent money bag, so we must do our best to drain the pond and catch all the fish.

If Campos and Hope's proposal is followed and the enemy is eliminated outside the human town, the territory will not gain any benefits.

Hoppe and Campos could be forgiven for proposing such a strategy, as they were unaware of the system's existence.

Gu An cannot directly refute it openly, otherwise even if he can "obtain consent", it will seem very nonsense and abstract.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the subsequent "weird strategic deployment", he came up with such an unverifiable excuse as a prelude.

[Is the news true? ]

【this is too scary!】

[The Kingdom's army has cannons powerful enough to kill extraordinary monsters. Who can stop their crusade? ]

[No, we can't just sit there and wait for death! ]

[Master Apostle, I will go back now to gather all the monsters. We will escape from the Mosan area and seek refuge in the territory of the immortal race.]

Hope was restless and paced back and forth in front of the wooden chair. After thinking for a moment, he immediately proposed a strategic retreat.

If it was still calm, then Campos was undoubtedly completely broken.

It kicked its legs and fell over, lying stiffly on the chair like a dead fish: [Escape?]

[How to escape? ]

[At the border of Mosan Territory, wars are constantly breaking out. People and monsters from outside cannot get in, and people and monsters from inside cannot get out.]

[If I choose to escape now, wouldn't that be tantamount to self-destruction? ]

Campos' eyes were blank. He didn't expect that today would be so full of ups and downs. He had just escaped from the brink of death, but he found out that he had "escaped a disaster" and "there would be a next time".

One can imagine its inner collapse at this moment.

[Staying here is a dead end. 】

[If we can find a way to escape from the Mosan territory, even if all our tribes are killed, we might be able to send the Apostle to a safe place.]

【You have to try hard to have a chance! 】

[The Apostle is a man of great talent and strategy. As long as he can survive this disaster, he will surely lead all the monster tribes to glory in the future and avenge us! 】

Strongly disagreeing with Campos's negative attitude, Hope stood in front of it and angrily stated the pros and cons.

A remote corner of the conference hall.

The ghost goblin stayed with the junior goblins, hiding in a place where no one would notice him, holding a pen and paper, quietly taking notes of the meeting.

[Brother Ghost, is there such a terrible weapon in the human army? ]

The junior goblin asked quietly in a very low voice.

【…】

【…】

【…】

The air fell into a deathly silence.

After a long while, a very unconfident response came: [Should... there be? ]
