Chapter 129 Isn’t our Lady Saint here?

Hope and Campos had a fierce argument, and neither could convince the other.

The man behind the scenes, Gu An, cleared his throat and then pretended to cough twice, interrupting the chattering: [What are you in such a hurry for? ]

[I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. 】

[Although the Kingdom’s army has magic heavy artillery, using such a powerful weapon naturally comes at a high price.]

[According to current intelligence, the result is at least 10,000 casualties on the enemy and 8,000 casualties on our side.]

[So even if they have heavy weapons, the Kingdom Army will not use them easily unless it is the most critical moment.]

[However, the plan to directly attack human towns will definitely not work. We have to change our strategy. ]

As soon as Gu An opened his mouth, the scene immediately calmed down.

Hope and Campos listened attentively, and the tense expressions on their faces did not ease at all.

[Master Apostle, you have made great achievements. You have captured the Saint of the Elf Clan, and you are also the destined commander of all the monster clans.]

[The Kingdom's army will definitely destroy the entire Goblin territory at all costs.]

[I think we should retreat first, otherwise the consequences will still be disastrous.]

Hope's expression was solemn, and the reasons he presented were very rational.

Magic heavy artillery is a double-edged sword.

Under normal circumstances, the kingdom's army would definitely not be willing to fight to the point of mutual destruction.

But the current situation is quite special.

It is imperative for the leader of the Mosan territory to wipe out the goblin territory.

Even if they don't actively attack human towns, the kingdom's army will come uninvited sooner or later.

When that time comes, how should the various monster races respond?

Are you waiting to be killed if you don't resist?
But if they resist, the kingdom's army will be unable to capture the city after a long siege and will eventually resort to using magic heavy artillery.

The ending won't change at all.

Gu An also knew what Hope was worried about.

But if he can come up with this reason, how could he not know the consequences?

He shook his head, smiled faintly and said: [What Campos said is not entirely wrong. ]

[The war is intense at the border of Mosan territory right now. It is too difficult to cross it, and there is basically no chance of survival.]

[Rather than a large-scale migration, it is better to focus on the Kingdom’s army. 】

[Their kingdom's army has magic heavy artillery, can't I have some props that can change the situation of the war? ]

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Campos jumped up from his chair and said excitedly: [Yes! ]

【How could I forget this! 】

[The Apostle has been blessed by the Demon God and has the right to open the Abyss Treasure House. There must be magic items more powerful than the Magic Heavy Artillery! ]

[Stupid, stupid, really stupid, I only remembered it now! ]

Campos's excited words surprised Gu An.

I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain?
Abyss Treasure House.

The devil actually sent down such a thing?
Gu An raised the corner of his mouth. Although he was very surprised in his heart, he did a very good job in managing his expression and did not reveal any unnecessary emotions.

Although his title of "Demon Apostle" was borrowed.

But Tia was transformed by the system and became a genuine apostle of the devil.

If she takes action, she will still be qualified to open the treasure house of the abyss.

It seems that I have to find out where the Abyss Treasure House is.

Gu An made a mental note, then walked down the stairs, pretending to be disappointed and saying, "I just realized now that your ability to handle emergencies is really poor."

Hope was so ashamed that even his tail drooped to the ground: [I am very sorry, Apostle.]

[The Abyss Treasure House is far away in the depths of the sea. I really didn't expect that you have been there. ]

[I don't trust you enough, please punish me, Master Apostle. 】

Hope knelt on one knee with a very serious and dull expression, admitting his mistake very sincerely, not knowing that he had been fooled.

"So it's in the deep sea?"

Gu An got another key piece of information and silently memorized it in his mind.

[Those who do not know are not guilty. 】

[I am not a cruel and tyrannical leader. Since you already know your mistake, how can I bear to punish you? ]

【Everyone please stand up and sit down. 】

Only after Guan made his position clear did Hope and Campos dare to salute, then stand up and sit back in their original seats.

Knowing that there is a way to resolve the crisis, the worry on their faces lessened a lot and they finally regained their composure.

The previous preparations had achieved the desired effect, so Gu An naturally proposed a new battle plan: [This lord previously took out a special magic item from the Abyss Treasure House, called the Silent Flag. ]

[I believe you also understand the function of this prop, right? ]

Knowing all the magic props in the world, Gu An casually came up with a reasonable name.

[Silent Flag]

An extremely rare high-level magic item, which in the original game settings can only be obtained by opening an annual membership.

As long as you inject enough magic power and then insert it at a central point, you can block all the magic power around it in an area.

This effect can be said to be extremely amazing, and even as a special prop it seems to be too unbalanced.

[Silent Flag! ]

[With it, the kingdom's army's magic artillery will be ineffective! ]

[As expected of the Abyss Treasure House left by the Demon Lord, it even has this kind of item in its collection! ]

Campos looked very shocked.

You know, a rare treasure like the [Flag of Silence] is nowhere to be found even among the immortal races.

In history, there was only a record of its use during the First War of Gods. Both humans and monsters thought that such a magical item had long been lost, but they did not expect that it was still in stock in the treasury of the abyss.

pity.

what a shame.

The [Flag of Silence] reappeared before the world, only to deal with the kingdom’s army that did not even have a Legendary Realm powerhouse.

What a waste of resources.

Campos shook his head with a very regretful expression.

Although Hope was also shocked, unlike Campos, he did not think that using the [Silent Flag] was a waste.

As long as we can turn the tide of the war and ensure the safety of the Apostle, any price we pay will be worth it.

It pondered calmly for a while, then said: [According to historical records, the Silent Flag is a one-time prop. Once it is planted, it cannot be moved at all, and the area it covers is at most ten kilometers in radius.]

[If the battle takes place in an open area, the Kingdom's army will definitely choose to evacuate quickly. Once they escape from the effective range of the Silence Flag, the situation will still be quite dangerous.]

[So, where to fight is a very important question. The flag of silence can only be used once. We must ensure that the kingdom's army cannot escape and be annihilated in one fell swoop.]

After a little thought, Hope discovered the key to the problem.

However, this was exactly the answer Gu An wanted to hear. With a bright smile, he said calmly: [This lord has already considered this issue. ]

【Catching a turtle in a jar. 】

[As long as we lead all the Kingdom's troops into the Goblin Cave, and then surround them from the front and back, we will be able to easily capture all of the Kingdom's troops.]

The silent flag is fake, but the strength of the "gold medal fighter" Tobiichi is not exaggerated at all.

As long as all the kingdom's troops were led into the goblin cave, Tobiichi could easily wipe out the entire army by himself, leaving them with no chance of escape.

As for how to explain the non-existence of the "Magic Heavy Artillery" and the "Silent Flag", Gu An had already thought of a reason.

First, they tried to get away with it by saying that the kingdom's army had not used the "magic heavy artillery" and that the goblin territory had no need to use the "flag of silence".

Then, after the battle, they pretended to investigate and gave the final result that "the kingdom's army did purchase magic heavy artillery, but because of the intense fighting outside, they have all been sent to the front line."

Then everything would make sense.

Sound a bit sloppy?
Just win the battle.

When everything is settled, who will care about these insignificant truths?

"Face engineering" has been an art since ancient times.

【This method is indeed feasible. 】

[However, Master Apostle. ]

[Is your territory large enough to accommodate so many enemies? ]

Hope raised a new question.

Although the Goblin territory is vast, it can only accommodate a thousand people at most. It is still unrealistic to want to kill tens of thousands of the kingdom's troops.

Gu An looked at Hope, his eyes full of a strange smirk: [It doesn't matter. ]

[It will take several days for the Kingdom's army to reach the forest. ]

[Take advantage of this opportunity, you and Campos should gather the tribesmen here and work overtime to dig and build the cave. You will definitely be able to expand the cave to the required size before they arrive.]

Kill two birds with one stone.

Gu An’s second goal was also achieved naturally.

The construction work in the Goblin Territory has always been in a state of insufficient manpower.

When he was thinking about the battle plan, he had already set his sights on the Hairy Dogs and the Shark People.

On the surface, it was to build a battlefield and set traps for the kingdom's army.

But when it comes to actual implementation, isn't it still Gu An who has the final say on how to plan and expand?

By using this "legitimate" reason, we can borrow public resources and develop the goblin territory without any compensation.

It is reasonable and logical, and there is no need to worry about any selfish reputation of "maliciously requisitioning migrant workers". It is perfect.

Even after being sold, you still have to ask others to count the money.

Campos, who had no idea of ​​the truth, was still flattering him, saying, "This is a good method!"

[In the entire forest, only your territory, Apostle, is so large that it is convenient for expansion.]

[In order to destroy the kingdom's army and protect the monsters, you are willing to use your own territory as a battlefield! ]

[With such a broad mind, you are truly the most selfless and benevolent leader in history! ]

Although Campos's desire to flatter was obvious, he was also quite shocked by Guan's behavior.

Because in its understanding.

Goblin caves are made of stone, and even a battle without the blessing of magic is enough to cause devastating damage.

Therefore, it is natural for Campos to have such emotions towards Guan's leadership spirit of being willing to "sacrifice himself" and "help everyone".

However, there is one thing that it would never dream of.

Because of the support of the system, the walls of the goblin territory are extremely strong, and enemies below level 40 cannot cause any damage at all.

Although there are many enemies above level 40 in the kingdom's army this time, as long as the Goblin Passage is expanded wide enough and Tobiichi kills quickly enough during the battle, the damage that can be caused is actually very limited.

After the war, the miner goblins will just do some repairs and it won’t take much time to restore the collapsed passage to its original state.

Of course, the defensiveness of the cave walls was only against enemies, not against workers like Campos who had obtained permission to mine in the territory.

The same reason is why the Miner Goblin can always work normally.

Gu An had already arranged everything.

Another person who was also kept in the dark was Hope.

It was filled with admiration for Gu An's selfless act. It looked at the Apostle affectionately and praised him sincerely: "Master Demon God has a keen eye. It is a great blessing for all monsters to choose you as our leader!"

The goblins and Tia cheered in unison.

Only Alia had a gloomy face, secretly cursing in her heart: "What selflessness, what benevolent leader."

"You monsters are so blind that you chose a demon like this as your leader."

"nausea."

"It's so disgusting!"

Gu An smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand modestly: [Okay, okay.]

[It is my mission to bring peace and stability to all monster tribes. You don't have to be so sentimental. As long as all tribes work together, the future of the monster world is destined to be brilliant.]

Hope showed an extremely respectful look, and patted his chest with excitement, assuring: [Master Apostle, please rest assured.]

[You are willing to sacrifice your territory for the monster tribes, and we, the Hairy Dog Tribe, are also willing to take the lead. ]

[When the war begins, the task of luring the Kingdom's army into the Goblin Cave will be entrusted to our Hairy Dog Tribe! ]

The expansion of the trap battlefield is easy.

But it is not easy to serve as bait to lure someone into a trap.

If they want to lure the kingdom's army into voluntarily entering the Goblin Cave, they must first send out a group of death squads to retreat step by step at the cost of self-sacrifice, and then they can lure the enemy deeper into the cave.

The fact that the Hairy Dog Tribe was willing to volunteer was enough to show how grateful they were for Gu An's loyalty.

However, although this sentiment was rare and precious, Gu An still shook his head and denied it: [Why do you want to lure the Kingdom's army? ]

[Wouldn't it be better to let them enter the cave by themselves? ]

Hearing this unexpected answer, Hope was stunned: [Huh? ]

【Let them come in by themselves? 】

Campos was equally puzzled.

The Kingdom's army is not stupid.

They are planning to launch a large-scale campaign against the monsters in the forest, so they certainly won't split up their forces. So why would they all be willing to enter the Goblin Cave?
Still with his signature sunny smile, Gu An pointed his finger and said mysteriously: [Isn't our Saint here? ]

All eyes were focused on Alia.

She looked around warily, and then asked nervously: [What...what do you want to do? ]

Gu An didn't say anything, but the smile on his face became even brighter.

Such a silent answer made Alia feel even more frightened, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

Not good!

Not good!
