Chapter 448 King of Goblin, the Meaning of Winter 【Subscription】
Its nose is smaller than that of a normal goblin, as are the size of its eyes.
There is only a little red in the eyes that represents madness.
The overall appearance is pale yellow, and only the edge of the central pupil is still blood red.
This makes it look more pleasing to the eye than normal goblins.
It wears a knightly armor of the same bronze color on its body, and also wears a head curtain woven with chain armor under the helmet, covering the shoulders on both sides.
It is worth mentioning that the battle armor on its body is very fine in workmanship. Both the breastplate and the plastron have the outline of the muscles, especially the emblem of the eagle is engraved on the chest.
From time to time, there will be silver-white aura flashing on the armor.
This is a set of full armor, covering almost its entire body, and there are movable telescopic structures on the joints of the limbs, which can give a certain flexibility of the limbs.
If Zong Shen was here, he would find that this was a precious set of legendary knight armor.
In the case of the Goblin tribe, it is absolutely impossible to forge it.
It is adjacent to the garrison camp of the ancient coalition army, so it is very likely that they found this armor from the ruins.
The height of this guy is almost the same as that of ordinary human males. He is a standout among goblins, and he is second only to those bear goblins in the tribe in terms of stature.
Behind it, there are also some goblins wearing different armors. These goblins are all slightly shorter than it, and their appearance is similar to it, and they are taller and more pleasing than ordinary goblins.
The armors on their bodies are various and inscribed with various emblems.
Among them are the silver moon emblem of the night elves, and the sun imprint of the high elves.
There are also various family crest-style imprints.
Obviously these armors are also from the ruins of the ancient battlefield.
These guys who are obviously different from ordinary goblins are the core of this goblin tribe.
The one wearing the knight armor is the leader of the tribe, the king of goblins.
Around him are the so-called goblin heroes.
The workmanship of the tables and chairs in the house is very rough.
It looks crooked and very flimsy, and for stupid ordinary goblins, this is already the limit of their craftsmanship.
At this moment, the Goblin King was staring at the leather map spread out on the table.
This is a specially treated leather, and repeated washings completely remove the fat from the leather.
Let the whole leather have a certain light transmittance.
On this leather, there is a simple map outlined by light cyan lines.
It depicts some undulating marks, and in some places special marks are also marked.
The Goblin King stared at the map for a long time, then turned to look at a goblin hero standing behind him.
It opened its mouth slowly and said in a low voice.
"Guab, send two teams of 'hounds' to watch where I said yesterday."
"You don't need to go deep, just let them place the eyes of the viper around."
The so-called Serpent's Eye is a natural magic thing made by shamans, it has a second-order stealth effect, and can monitor a designated area.
The Goblin King does not speak the common language of the continent, but a language unique to goblins.
The goblin hero named Gu Abu nodded earnestly without expressing too much.
It looked up at the Goblin King and asked in a rough voice.
"Wang, where do these strange people come from?"
Although there is a clear class distinction between goblins, they do not have complicated etiquette rules like other intelligent races, and etiquette is a useless thing for them.
Gu Abu's question is also a common doubt in the hearts of all the goblin heroes present.
Among the goblin groups, goblin shamans, goblin heroes, and goblin kings all have relatively high intelligence, so they have long discovered those lords who suddenly appeared.
These suddenly appearing humans have established settlements of different sizes in a very short period of time. This is a very abnormal situation, so abnormal that even the goblins are aware of it.
The Goblin King shook his head, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"I have no idea…"
"These guys are like falling from the sky."
"There is no large-scale population dispersion and migration in nearby villages."
It said very rationally, as the king of this goblin tribe, it looks more like a wise man, both thinking and decision-making are very organized, which makes it a stark contrast to those low-level goblins .
After hearing his words, all the goblin heroes fell silent.
The Gu Abu who got its order quickly walked out of the simple house to complete the task it explained.
These guys don't have the concept of politeness at all, they do things directly.
The Goblin King watched Gu Abu leave, and it turned back to the wooden table.
Suddenly he pulled out a dagger and slammed it into the leather map on the desktop.
"This is a good opportunity for the population to multiply."
"We need more food and men, women..."
"I don't want to see the cubs continue to hold the beast and fuck around."
"The current degeneration rate of the ethnic group is too high..."
It muttered to itself in a deep voice, like the growl of a beast.
As a tribal leader, it needs to consider many issues.
For it, having wisdom is not a happy thing.
A wise man often has to bear many troubles, especially a king.
Even the king of the dirty and stupid goblins has to bear the responsibility of breeding the clan.
The huge primitive thatched hut became quiet again.
In the entire Goblin tribe, apart from the occasional screams and moans, there were only disgusting grinding teeth and swallowing saliva.
...
Around two forty in the afternoon.
Zong Shen woke up leisurely at Luna's call.
The warm quilt made him feel very comfortable, like a girl's warm heart.
Someone once said that leaving the winter quilt is like leaving a woman's thigh, which requires a lot of perseverance.
Seeing Zong Shen open his eyes, his face was empty, but he didn't mean to get up.
Luna sat obediently on the edge of the bed, reaching out and stroking his face.
Zong Shen never shaved during this time.
Dense stubble grew on his cheeks and chin.
These stubble are not even half a centimeter, and they feel like hard bristles.
Makes him look more manly.
"what…"
"Hoohoo!"
Zong Shen yawned lazily and grabbed Luna's little hand.
He sat up on the bed, and the room became very warm because of the magic heat ball.
The windows on both sides of the room were all wet.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside is highlighted, melting the thin layer of ice outside the windows.
It looked like it had just rained.
"Luna, you and Vereesa should go to the living area to pick them up now."
"After a while, put the magic heat balls on you in the cargo compartments of the two load-bearing mechas."
"Notify Doris to do the same."
"If she doesn't have enough heat balls, let Howie give her his own first."
Zong Shen gently rubbed the back of Luna's tender hand with his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay sir, I'll do it now."
Luna also showed a gentle smile and leaned her face.
With his full red lips, he gently kissed Zong Shen's side face.
This loving kiss is like a giant in the sky, fleeting.
The warmth on her cheeks was still there, but Luna had already pulled away nimbly.
Before the snow gets bigger, this should be the last collective hunt for the Winter Snow Monsters.
When the accumulation of snow reaches the point where even the load-bearing mecha cannot effectively clear it, large-scale collective travel will become a luxury.
As for the third stage of Winter, Zong Shen has other arrangements regarding the Winter Treasure Chest and the ice monster with points. The specifics will not be determined until the third stage begins due to climate change.
This round of challenges gave him a bit of a headache. He would rather deal with a huge group of crypt monsters than in the face of bad weather.
The Crypt Challenge and the Winter Challenge have very different meanings.
The former is mainly based on combat, requiring the lords to bravely face the group of crypt monsters that gather together like a black tide.
Even though the crypt monsters among them have generally been weakened to varying degrees, the pressure of the monster group is still enough to make people terrified.
The duration of the Crypt Challenge has reached a full seven days, during which the intensity of the challenge will gradually increase, making it a feast for the group.
High-intensity combat and slaughter are the best whetstones for sharpening a sword.
In fact, after the crypt challenge, the surviving lords have indeed grown in different ways.
This growth is comprehensive and comprehensive, and everyone begins to become familiar with this strange world and the brutal fighting and fighting.
The blood-seeing battle is like a icy deep pool, quenching everyone's head in it, making everyone sharp and hard in the hiss of pain and the boiling of fear.
The Winter Challenge does not focus on combat. The change of climate is more for the lords to challenge the physical limit. As for the Winter Snow Monster and the Winter Treasure Chest, it is also a means of embellishment and motivation.
A simple climate challenge is like a tank of stagnant water, only adding some other elements can make everyone more active.
In addition to these apparent features, for most ordinary lords, this challenge is actually more benevolent than the crypt challenge.
Because it sets the basic survival points, even if you stay in the territory, as long as you are lucky enough, you can get a lot of points without being attacked.
The sum of the four-day survival points is also several thousand points. You must know that in the previous round, because of the pyramid-shaped strength structure, most of the lords may not be able to get so many points.
After all, not everyone can slash and slash like Zong Shen.
They are basically passive counterattacks, in a situation with poor motivation.
This is the biggest difference between aggressive lords and ordinary lords.
This time the challenge is obviously more friendly to the ordinary lords who account for the vast majority.
For an enterprising lord like Zong Shen, even if his strength is strong, the efficiency of obtaining points will be greatly affected, and it cannot be like the challenge in the crypt.
The monsters outside are like points with long legs. As long as you have enough strength, they will ask for anything from you.
This is probably the essential difference between the two challenges.
Again, the lord system does not want to engage in a massacre or mass extermination.
Its purpose is to cultivate lords, so that everyone can grow rapidly.
Zong Shen sat on the bed for a while, using thinking to relax.
Then he turned over decisively and began to put on the battle armor piece by piece.
He buttoned the inner buttons of the bearskin coat one by one, and put on a heavy [Benedict's Charge Cloak], which he never loved, even in the winter.
Not just because it's too heavy, but its size doesn't meet the average person's standard.
With Zong Shen's naked height of 1.78 meters, coupled with the improvement of his stature in combat boots, armor, and helmets, he can reach the level of 1.8 meters in full armor.
Even at this height, after putting on the charge cape, its hem still fell to the ground.
It even spread to dozens of centimeters behind Zong Shen's feet, dragging it like a king's foot-binding cloth.
But the cloak was not the king's quilt when he attended a grand event.
Then it can be shown that the original owner of this cloak is at least a tall man who is more than two meters tall.
This feeling of procrastination and cumbersomeness made Zong Shen uncomfortable.
However, for the sake of those attribute gains and warmth, he decided to keep it as it was.
After all dressed, Zong Shen walked downstairs quickly and walked straight out of the lord's small building.
It was already seven past three in the afternoon, and the sleet outside turned into moderate snow.
The snow on the ground collapsed and turned into irregular melting ice with uneven appearance.
The ice formed by these half-melted collapses is not hard, at least more fragile than the thick ice at the bottom that is completely solidified by freezing rain.
Zong Shen was wearing rabbit fur boots, and every time he landed, he could smash the melting ice, leaving a footprint several centimeters thick.
The ground became more and more slippery, like sandwich cookies that were soft on the top and hard on the bottom.
The thickness of the melting ice is also ten centimeters, and its existence reduces the effect of the anti-skid thorns a lot.
The metal thorns, which were only a few centimeters long, could not penetrate into the solid ice.
And that loose melted ice doesn't provide much friction either.
With Zong Shen's footsteps moving, there are often large pieces of ice that are turned upside down.
"The damn weather..."
"It's really annoying!"
Zong Shen could clearly perceive the changes under his feet.
This forced him to move forward cautiously.
When he came to the open space outside the lord's small courtyard, Luna and Vereesa were already driving a snow shovel version of the Loader Mecha, fully loaded with warriors waiting for his command.
The wind and snow remained the same. This time, a [Magic Heat Ball] was placed in the cargo hold of the weight-bearer mecha.
Zong Shen hopes to take this measure to improve the endurance of the battle.
