Mercenaries and Adventurers

In the village house, Zhao Ji and the leaders of the village sat around a wooden table, on which some spare straw paper, ink, and water and wooden pens were spread.

Zhao Ji took a chipped piece of charcoal and carefully drew the Goblin paintings he still remembered. Fortunately, when he was celebrating just now, he had been thinking about these memories in his mind.

Zhao Ji drew the paintings he still remembered on the paper one by one. Although the paintings were simple, the headless animal images and the weird movements of the goblin's teeth and claws could make people who saw these paintings feel uncomfortable instinctively.

Zhao Ji himself didn't think much of it, after all, the more exotic paintings and images in his previous life appeared in the comics game in a grand manner, and everyone liked it. Therefore, in this life, he didn't take it seriously when he saw the paintings of these defeated generals in the forest.

Nia Shepherd and Old Domu exchanged the paintings drawn by the Kiel warriors, and the Kiel warriors basically accurately painted the Goblin paintings carved on the bark of the big tree.

"Sure enough, this feeling. Goblins are bewitched, so they have these methods." Nia shepherd put the paper in his hand on the table and said.

"Bewitched? What would bewitch those little green-skinned monsters?" Old Domo touched the exaggerated picture of the goblin on the paper with his hand.

Zhao Ji felt that even if those goblins might not be bewitched as Nia shepherd said, they would definitely like to keep the heads of their prey as hunting fruits and honors.

After all, humans like to do this, and goblins with simple wisdom might think so too.

Pastor Nia thought about it, "When I went to another parish to study, I was trained and studied in the church. Some evil spirits or, evil gods! Existences like to mentally control those who have some wisdom and use tribal villages as their organized remote communities of life."

"Forgive me for presumptuousness. The teacher who taught at that time also said that some weak gods without believers also like to hide their faces to confuse the residents of these remote places. Judging from Kiel's painting just now, this existence has at least It has mentally affected those goblins for quite a while."

Hearing Nia Shepherd's judgment, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy.

Zhao Ji lowered his lips. He really didn't like to deal with those weird things. After he explored the ruins before, he had been troubled by elf dreams until he found out that the source was the elf ring he found in the ruins by mistake. He took the ring After being placed in the tree root camp, this will not be affected, and I can have a good sleep and have other, chaotic, unrelated dreams of elves.

Although Zhao Ji resisted these things a little, he knew that running away without contact would not solve the trouble, and the trouble might even come to him by himself.

On the contrary, after encountering such a thing, it is better to find a professional person. Since Nia Shepherd has received training in this area, there should be a way to fight against these things, right?

"It's just a mental influence, isn't it? After all, Kiel alone can kill those annoying little green-skinned guys." Old Domou spoke first. He has always been a brave person and knows the truth that you can't be cowardly before a fight. .

Hearing what old Domo said, Nia Shepherd thought about it, and asked Kiel first: "Kiel, did you encounter or find anything unusual in the battle with the goblins before?" ? Think about it carefully, a little trace is fine, this can help my judgment."

Zhao Ji frowned carefully recalling the previous contact with the goblins.

The elder of the village, Julian, reminded: "Think carefully, the details. Is there anything special among the goblins, their clothes? Food? Weird behavior?"

Another elder named Barry flipped through the papers of the paintings: "Where do they appear? Strange places? What do they guard?"

what they said,

Goblins don't seem to have any. After Zhao Ji thought about it carefully, he felt that only the goblin's voice that might be his name should be paid attention to.

"#￥%%￥! (Forest Ghost!)"

Zhao Ji suddenly opened his mouth to imitate the words that goblins often yell before they die, which startled everyone else in the room.

"What did you just say? It sounds like goblins?" Old Domo, because of the security station, has more dealings with goblin-related matters. After listening to it once, he immediately realized it. It's the words of the goblins.

"It's the words of goblins. I don't know the specific meaning. But when many goblins are killed by me, they will, huh, yell out such a sentence in grief and indignation. This is definitely not their curse words. I can tell." Zhao Ji immediately answered Lao Duomu's question.

"Think about it, when those goblins yelled these words, what were their expressions?" Nia Shepherd reminded.

"Expression? Well, it should be that kind, that kind. Hey, how should I put it, it's that kind. That's right! It's that kind of god! Why didn't you come to save my expression! It's quite sad and indignant."

After hearing Keir's words, everyone realized something.

Quite shocked.

Zhao Ji is not from this world, and he has no faith and respect for the gods since he was a child. He does not realize the impact of such words on these people.

"It seems that it really is the most troublesome thing. However, we can generally interrupt this kind of thing as long as we eradicate each other's altars and idols." Nia Shepherd looked at Old Domo and Kiel and said, the other The three elders also nodded.

"Don't worry, although I don't know what to do, I know it's okay to listen to you." Old Domo patted his chest and promised.

Zhao Ji looked at the people around him, no matter what he had to face that kind of troublesome thing, he didn't seem to want to participate.

He has no idea about this matter, but judging by Nia Shepherd's confident appearance, there should be no problem.

As long as the trouble can be solved with sword and fire, it shouldn't be a big trouble, right?

"I'm fine. Nia Shepherd, you can tell me what to do. I listen to you. I will do my part to endanger the safety of the villagers."

"The main thing is the altar and the god statue that must exist. This is the key point. As long as these two things are destroyed, no matter who the existence is, he will no longer be able to interfere with the Goblin affairs in the south." Niya Mu He explained the key to the following things to the old Domo and Kiel.

"However, this matter. We can't go to the city of Kendall to recruit people. This will affect the matter of big brother." Old Duo Mu said.

The others nodded silently, otherwise, the matter should be easily resolved.

Zhao Ji smacked his lips, it's all like this, these old knight lords don't want to trouble the village yet. It seems that he defeated the large group of goblins too easily before, which caused some influence on their judgment. After all, the main combat force of the Goblin settlement had been destroyed by him a few days ago.

"We need to organize a group of people. We don't need many people. We can evacuate directly as long as we destroy the altar and the idol." Old Domu said.

"What about the goblins?" Zhao Ji still raised his concerns: "Although the goblin fighters are probably dead, they still have a large number of ordinary goblins. Let's just go there and destroy them." Such an important thing, they will desperately resist, right? Huh?"

Everyone nodded, and Elder Barry said, "Well, I remember you said, Keir, that you made many traps a few days ago, and most of the traps were useless when fighting against goblins, right? "

"Yes, I only used a few, about 30%." Zhao Ji answered after a calculation.

"Then the destroyers still need to be dispatched, but everyone can wait at the trap first, some of them will lead the goblins out of the settlement, and the other part will bypass the goblins directly from the trap, and directly attack the altar and the idol. After that Then evacuate. The people who attract a large group of goblins rely on traps to deal with goblins, or rely on traps to scare goblins, and provide opportunities and time for the other team." Elder Barry said his plan .

It seems that he has thought it through clearly, and the plan is very feasible.

The others didn't have a better plan. Old Domo said that he could lead a team to attack the altar, while Kiel was more familiar with his traps and should lead another team to lure the goblins out.

Zhao Ji thinks this plan is very good, except for not being able to personally see what the image of the existence of the goblin belief is, it is not bad.

After finalizing the plan, the next step is preparation. Elder Barry's plan needs to say less than 20 or 30 people. After all, the others are not Kiel warriors, and they are not capable of fighting so many goblins alone. And in the hands of these people, most of them returned to the old Domo to support the past. Compared with the confirmed goblins, the mysterious existence naturally needs more people to fight against.

Nia Shepherd said that the militia in the village cannot be used in this dispatch. They are not local lords, nor are they big figures in Kendall City. They are not qualified to mobilize the young militia in the village.

Only sentries among the villagers and members of some big families with good relations can be mobilized.

Old Domo said that he could bring all the sentinels, in the name of destroying and driving away the remaining goblins. In this way, you can also bring some kindling, which is nominally used to burn down the possible houses of goblins in the forest, but in fact it is used to burn down altars and idols.

The three elders also expressed that they could mobilize young people in their families to participate, so that there would be enough people.

Other material preparations The three elders said that it would take two days to prepare at the fastest. As for weapons, there are a batch of iron gun heads at the blacksmith that can be rented directly. The gun barrels are very simple. There are many small logging in the village north The fresh wood felled in the field, if it is only used for short-term battles, is enough.

Needless to say about food, the distance from the village to the forest in the south is actually not too far. The cook at the public security station can prepare enough bread by himself, and it only takes one day and enough wheat flour to make it.

Old Duo Mu patted his chest and promised to complete this point. He had great confidence in his cook.

Elder Julian immediately said that he would go to the village granary tomorrow morning to collect enough wheat flour, all of which had been finely ground by the mill of the windmill, so as to ensure that the soldiers on the expedition would have enough to eat.

The elder Barry said that he would go to the blacksmith and promise to turn those gun heads into usable long guns.

Zhao Ji heard blacksmiths talk about those gun heads before, and it is estimated that the number is not large enough, so he said that if the number of weapons is not enough, he can directly use wood to make a mallet composed of only wood.

As long as the mallet is heavy enough, it can knock down goblins with a single hammer head. Moreover, the production of a pure wooden mallet is very simple. It can be made with one or two iron nails. If the craftsmanship is good, even iron nails are not needed. The wood can be assembled firmly.

Elder Barry said he was aware of the Kiel warrior's suggestion.

As for the other elder, Sutter, he said that he could convince the villagers to rent their carts to transport food and drinking water, as well as rain gear and other outdoor supplies.

Finally, Pastor Nia took out a piece of paper she had written just now, and let everyone look at it: "If the action goes well, this paper will be shown to him and the higher-ups of the church after the big brother solves his problem. But if it fails , I will send someone to submit it to the Church and Big Brother immediately."

Everyone took it and looked at it, and Zhao Ji also looked at it. The above was written by Nia Mushou, which explained in detail the cause speculation and process preparation of the whole incident, as well as the detailed plan. It's just an empty space at the end without writing.

Zhao Ji understood that this was the result of empty writing about the attack by the brigade. If you win, it is naturally written, and if you lose, then write a request for help.

"Finally, let me say one more thing. Regarding this plan, what I told the villagers was to drive and destroy the remaining goblins. I hope you can say the same thing about the existence of evil gods. It is better to let people know as little as possible. After all, in many stories, the more things about evil gods are spread, the more people know about them, and the more people fear them, the stronger their power will be. .Although I can't say whether the person behind the goblin is an evil god, but it is still necessary to make such a plan." Nia Shepherd said these words to Kiel, and at the same time, she said them to several of her The old friends listened.

All the people nodded in agreement. The truth of the matter is only known to them for the time being. As for the things that the villagers who attacked in the subsequent battles guessed by themselves, they will be appeased one by one at that time.

After arranging their work, they dispersed. After Zhao Ji returned to the hotel, he was sorting out his things while thinking about possible battles in the future.

Of course, he will take care of the things he brings up, and he still has this attitude to take responsibility. It is also impossible for him to run away alone after discovering this kind of thing. Although he will not be punished, his prestige in Dolarin Village must be gone.

In fact, Zhao Jiji feels very contradictory. On the one hand, he resists the things in this world that he can't understand, but at the same time, he really wants to get close to those supernatural things and things.

The thing about the elven ruins is that while he was worried about possible dangers, he actively explored the ruins. On the one hand, he was worried that he would keep dreaming about elves, fearing that he would bear a terrible curse, but on the other hand, he was excited to get closer to dreams and elves, even if he was burned mysteriously.

This attack destroyed the existing altars and statues. He was lying on the bed at this time, worrying that the plan would encounter changes and everyone would die in the forest. But at the same time, he really wanted to change places with old Duomu, let him meet that existence by himself, and destroy the altars and statues with his own hands.

And the whole thing can be done by him alone, that's the best, he can accomplish a heroic feat that is not big or small.

Be a little hero.

Hey.
