Chapter 293 The Race Hated by the Gods
"Your Majesty, please take a look, this is the most powerful individual weapon sold by those goblins."
The warlock with an awkward smile on his face rubbed his palms and introduced the giant mechanical structure that emitted a pungent smell to the dragon entrenched on the glorious throne.
“The goblins call it the War Stomper Type III, and you might think it’s appearance is a bit crude and crude.
But armed with the firearms carried by the War Trampler, even a weak goblin can fight against a gold-level warrior in a short time. Its role on the battlefield, under special circumstances, can exceed one A squad of heavily armed knights..."
Noah stared at the mechanical creation that looked shoddy in every aspect. This was a semi-human all-terrain war machine with four mechanical legs, two mechanical arms, and a large number of firearm launching units. Mecha.
Not to mention how roughly the creation named War Trampler was made, Noah also saw a lot of wooden structures on it, and none of these things were made of full metal.
I don't know if those greenskins are too poor, or if they are too stingy, maybe it's both.
All in all, when he first saw this creation that embodies the wisdom of the goblins, Noah was quite speechless because he couldn't feel the slightest bit of mechanical beauty that he expected.
To put it bluntly, this thing is just like a piece of junk pieced together by finding some usable materials in a garbage dump.
Because the two mechanical arms of this thing with the same function are made of different materials, and no two of the four mechanical legs are the same, they can still maintain balance and move.
The most ridiculous thing is that the so-called War Stomper is still a series with different models. I have to admit that there is something about those greenskins.
"The goblins sell the strongest weapons to others. In other words, the weapons they use for themselves are stronger?"
Although from the appearance, structure, function and smell, Noah felt that the warlock in front of him had brought back a pile of junk from the goblin city hundreds of thousands of miles away, Noah still had a keen eye and found the advantages in it. .
This Warripper has no magic power or elemental fluctuations from top to bottom, and no decent magic materials are used on it. The most expensive material is probably the main frame made of fine steel.
Noah estimated that it was precisely because the materials used were so inferior that the upper limit of this thing was that it could only resist a Shining Gold in a short period of time. If it took a little longer, it would be dismantled into rubbish.
However, confrontation may be a bit humiliating for a transcendent of the Shining Gold level. The reason why it takes time is probably because it takes a while for a transcendent of this level to dismantle this garbage.
Even so, this goblin-made individual soldier also has advantages that cannot be ignored. First of all, its cost is low enough. After all, the materials used are all these garbage. The cost is here, how high can the cost be.
Secondly, the requirements for drivers are not high. Even goblins can get on and drive, so mortals with a little training should be able to do the same.
Finally, this pile of junk is a series of products. Once a production line is established, it can be produced on a large scale and in large batches.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the most powerful individual weapon used by the goblins is called Warripper Type 5. It has a record of killing a Golden Knight head-on on the battlefield."
The warlock, who was talking eloquently about the introduction, heard Noah's question and quickly answered.
"You didn't bring this type of individual weapon back?"
Noah wanted to see the limits of the creation of the goblins in the west, but when he heard his inquiry, the warlock who was introducing him suddenly froze, and then answered with some stumble,
"Tearer Type 5 is a series not for sale to the public, I can't buy it..."
"Can't buy it? So you haven't thought about bringing it back in other ways?"
Jin Long looked at the warlock in front of him with a strange look. He did not expect that among the group of bastard villains, there could be a little cabbage with such a pure mind.
"Your Majesty, those goblins have loaded bombs into all the weapons and equipment that are not for sale to the outside world. If they are not obtained through legitimate means, they will explode after leaving the limited area. I don't know what the principle is, so I don't dare to do it casually. plunder."
The warlock knelt on the ground and quickly explained that it was not that he was stuck in a rut, but that the goblins were really good at playing with bombs, and he did not dare to move without knowing the principle.
"So, how much do you know about those goblins?"
Noah put aside the barely plausible reason for the time being, and turned to ask about the origin of the goblin.
Goblins are a very special race. According to most common knowledge, goblins are low-level monsters like goblins and kobolds, and their average combat power is at the bottom among low-level monsters.
Special variants of goblins, such as bugbears, mountain goblins, etc., have a place among low-level monsters. As for higher-level monsters, these mutant goblins cannot squeeze in.
But this is not the most special thing about goblins. What makes goblins different from all monsters is that they have huge heads that are completely disproportionate to their weak bodies.
As a monster, this body structure makes goblins uncompetitive in the wild, but as intelligent creatures, goblins' huge brain capacity gives them extraordinary intelligence.
Therefore, there is an extremely rare variant of goblins, or it is not a variant, it just shows what the goblins should look like.
Urban goblins integrate into humanoid civilization events and become city residents, engaging in professions that require high intelligence such as merchants or inventors, or as servants and housekeepers of certain nobles with special quirks.
This is the most special thing about goblins. Among all the monsters in the wild, they are the only race that can enter human civilization as an intelligent species.
Because the original goblin was one of the founders of civilization. This is Noah, as the ancestral dragon, finding the description of the goblin in his oldest memory.
This is information that many people find unbelievable, but it is true. Goblins once established an extremely glorious civilization. They did not study magic, do not delve into fighting spirit, and did not have any extraordinary power. However, they were still able to change the world and destroy the world. The civilization of the plane.
Unfortunately, the goblin civilization has long been lost, the ancient empire has collapsed, and now most of the remaining goblins have become monsters in the wilderness waiting to be slaughtered. Even the goblins who still retain their wisdom have forgotten their past glory.
"They were greedy, violent, ignorant and extremely arrogant people."
The warlock who had personally seen the goblins who established city-states in the west and recommended them to Noah did not have any positive comments about this group of greenskins.
"It seems that your trip to the West did not go very smoothly."
Noah didn't care about these comments. He had already seen many firearms brought by this warlock from the west.
Those weapons without a trace of extraordinary power can cause serious damage to low-level professionals, and some powerful ones can even pose a fatal threat to professionals below Glory Gold.
Therefore, Noah is now very interested in the group of green-skinned goblins in the west. In Noah's view, this group of goblins is limited by materials. Therefore, the weapons produced have limited power.
If he can provide higher quality materials, then combined with their unbridled creativity, he can definitely create more lethal equipment. Most importantly, the dress code of these equipment is low enough.
"What price do you think I need to pay? To be able to recruit all these goblins for my use."
Noah asked bluntly.
"Are you going to recruit all the goblins in the entire city-state?"
The warlock was a little surprised.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, you only need to recruit goblin engineers. Even in that city-state, the vast majority of goblins can only do repetitive and tedious hard work. These goblins are not worth recruiting."
The warlock gave advice in a sincere tone.
"In that goblin city-state you visited, how many goblins were there and how many engineers were there?"
Noah did not comment on this suggestion, but continued to ask.
"There are more than half a million goblins living in that city-state, but among them, there are less than 300 goblins who have obtained the title of engineer."
"So, I want to know, will the goblin engineer have the title of engineer and the corresponding knowledge from the moment he is born?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Noah asked questions with obvious answers.
"Of course not. Every goblin engineer not only needs to master a lot of knowledge, but also needs to demonstrate and learn in practice. Many engineer apprentices died while studying explosives."
The warlock was startled, and then quickly replied, because he already understood the thinking gap between himself and the Holy Dragon. According to his idea, he only needed to pay a lot of money to recruit some of the goblin engineers. As for the goblins in that city-state who are of no help to His Majesty the Holy Dragon, there is no need to pay attention.
But His Majesty the Holy Dragon not only wanted current goblin engineers, but also future engineers, so His Majesty chose to recruit the entire goblin city-state.
"In that case, why should I not recruit future engineers into my employ?"
"As you wish, my lord!"
The warlock bowed deeply.
"So, what price do I need to pay to own that goblin city-state?"
Noah asked again.
"Without any price, just a war, a war that makes the goblins desperate, you will have the city-state established by the goblins and their loyalty."
The warlock replied without thinking.
If you just want to recruit some engineers, you can spend money, but you want the entire city-state to surrender their allegiance and have them serve for generations to come.
Then war is indispensable. Loyalty gained by the temptation of money interests will one day be betrayed by greater interests. Only death and despair can achieve true conquest.
"Which Chapter do you need?"
Noah asked directly.
The golden dragon didn't care whether there would be any criticism if he attacked the western city-states without any prerequisites, because no one would care about the goblins.
Today's goblins have basically been kicked out of the ranks of intelligent races. They are no better than the sahuagin who were kicked out of the ranks of intelligent races because they were loved by the bronze dragon.
Although goblins are a truly intelligent race, their identity as an intelligent race is only recognized in very limited areas, and in more areas, goblins are still regarded as low-level monsters.
Even in cities where goblins are allowed to live, goblins have no social status. They are only slightly better than slaves, and most goblins are not even as good as slaves.
The most important thing is that goblins do not worship any gods. Most goblins, even if they are not unbelievers, will not be better than unbelievers for long.
This is a race hated by the gods, and their pious prayers will not receive any response from the gods.
"I don't need any war group. I just need you to send some cloud giants to assist me, and I can conquer the goblin city-state for you."
"Cloud giants? Sure."
Noah then remembered that there were still a number of cloud giants under his command, which was not rare. It was not that Noah deliberately ignored their existence, but under the deterrence of a nephew with Titan blood next door, there was really a big risk in cultivating cloud giants.
The Titans' call for the giants was unquestionable. Noah did not want to verify whether the cloud giants' emphasis on the spirit of contract could surpass their admiration and yearning for the Titans.
Despite such hidden dangers, Urnos has so far still followed his ancestors' teachings and has not accepted the loyalty of any cloud giants.
Because the Augustus family cannot guarantee the stable inheritance of the Titan bloodline, it also means that there is no guarantee that the cloud giants can always protect the Augustus family. Once there is a generation gap, the result is unpredictable.
"Please wait, I will definitely offer you the goblin city-state within a year!"
In fact, it took less than a year. Facing hundreds of cloud giants who can walk in the clouds, most of the weapons developed by the goblins have lost their effectiveness.
The airships they made were shot down one after another, and the war series weapons they were proud of were as fragile as building blocks in front of the power of the giants.
"We failed!"
Standing on the steel wall full of oil and rust, an old goblin who looked no different from other greenskins looked up at the giant standing above the clouds and casting thunder on the earth, and sighed.
"No, we have not failed. As long as we can continue to persevere and wait until we can create the Giant God Soldier..."
"Stop dreaming. With the resources we have now, it is impossible to create a real Giant God Soldier. Not to mention that what we have is just a broken blueprint. Our wisdom is not enough to repair the blueprint. Surrender!"
