Chapter 141 Goblin Army

Goblin elites. This was the first time that Mu Hua saw goblin elites in person.

The so-called elite are monsters whose levels and combat power cannot be measured according to conventional knowledge.

Outside a town full of orcish style, a dozen-meter-high wall surrounds the town.

The seemingly rough city walls are filled with a strong scent of earth element.

Giant trees, earth and stones are the main materials for constructing the city wall, but the strong earth element means that this kind of city wall has defensive capabilities beyond its material and good elemental resistance.

There is a magical halo above the city wall that protects the sky, and under the city wall is laid deer-repelling thorns about ten meters wide.

Mu Hua used the detection magic he had just acquired to check and found that there were many magic traps called "critical mines" hidden in that thorny area.

Humans aren't the only ones who can build cities, monsters can do the same.

Magic scrolls, crossbows, torches, it is impossible for monsters to just drop magic items to humans and not use them themselves. Next to the Goblin Kingdom is the Mechanical Forest, which has machine guns and artillery, and maybe even demons driving magical mechas.

Of course, just like humans, demons play with those things, fight a few battles, and become so poor that they have to sell their pants.

Although this goblin town is small, it has all the necessary city defense measures.

Mu Hua and Taibesha stood in an open space a hundred meters away from the city wall. Forty black-armored skeleton generals stood in front of them. Zhou Yi shook his snake tail and paced beside Mu Hua like a lion or tiger.

With forty skeleton undead, Mu Hua’s skeleton summoning has been upgraded to LV40. It’s not that he doesn’t want to upgrade it anymore, but that the skeleton summoning has been stuck at the level again.

The LV40 skeleton summoning actually requires summoning skeleton warhorses as a prerequisite skill before it can continue to upgrade.

Although he had the skill stone for summoning a skeleton warhorse, Mu Hua's spiritual attribute was 193 at the moment. If he wanted to use that skill stone, he would probably need Tuesday to "tick" him for two more days.

However, facing the city wall in front of him, even if he could really summon a Death Knight, it would be difficult to gain an advantage. Mu Hua was not anxious or frustrated about this.

In addition to the conspicuous crossbows and catapults, there are naturally monsters on the city walls.

The short goblins had daggers on their waists and held longbows in their hands. Just looking at the wall facing the front gate of Mu Hua, there were probably more than two hundred goblin archers.

The archery skills of low-level goblins are not that strong, but the arrows of their bows and arrows are basically the same as the exorcism bullets of human firearms.

Even though these goblins do not have archery skills, no one can say for sure what materials their arrows are made of, not to mention that the arrows themselves can be sharpened according to the specifications of the equipment.

If you get some high-level monsters' fangs and bone spurs to make arrows, even if they are shot by low-level goblins, the penetrating power of the arrows can easily turn mid- and high-level monsters into hedgehogs within the range.

In addition to these low-level goblins, there are more than a hundred big goblins, all equipped with turquoise jade leather armor and holding hatchet-like "Assassin" machetes in their hands.

Emerald Armor and Assassin are both fairly mature standard equipment in Hell.

Although it was only low-level equipment, this set of armor was enough to allow the big goblin to charge into the battlefield with level 4 or 5 exorcism bullets.

A bear goblin wearing heavy metal armor, standard platinum armor, standard eagle shield, and standard broad-bladed heavy sword.

Among the goblin wizards wearing robes and holding various staffs, you can often see magic gems hanging around their necks.

The so-called elite goblins, there is a group of goblin troops hiding here.

Compared with the earlier "bandits", the goblins here are like the difference between regular soldiers and farmers.

What made Mu Hua feel most outrageous was that in addition to a goblin centurion holding two swords on the city wall, he also saw four or five cat girls sitting on the shoulders of ogres.

That’s right, cat girls are one of the few beautiful and intelligent groups among the beastmen.

They have cat ears and tails, human-like bodies and faces. Because both male and female cats have very delicate feminine faces, people usually call them cat girls.

Although they look weak, they have strong physiques like lions and tigers, are good at close combat, and the higher-level species can master high-level enhanced magic.

Catgirls have a higher growth potential than goblins, but since they can get along with goblins, they must be kittens who are not that strong. "Quack~Quack~" Several ravens flying over the goblin town were blown to pieces by the magic cast by the goblin wizard.

"How is it?" Taibesha asked Mu Hua.

"There are over a thousand low-level goblins, about five hundred archers, five hundred big goblins, three hundred bear goblins, and less than a hundred goblin mages."

"A small number of ogres, gnolls, and black dogs. Damn, there are also hundreds of wolves. I didn't see the Goblin General, but I did see five giant bats. Tsk!" Mu Hua frowned and told Taibetha what the raven observed from the sky.

At this time, the atmosphere between Mu Hua and the goblins in the city and outside the city was rather weird.

The goblins closed the city gates and did not attack Mu Hua. Mu Hua also had no intention of driving the black-armored skeleton generals to charge the city. The two sides just stared at each other.

However, Mu Hua felt that he could not defeat this group of goblins, and the goblin captain on the opposite side probably also felt that it was not worthwhile to fight with Mu Hua.

The two sides were in a standoff, guarding against each other, but no one was willing to take the initiative and start a fight.

Goblin centurions are high-level monsters, and their brains are much smarter than those of low- and middle-level goblins.

Most monsters like to cause trouble to humans because they can gain more emotional energy from them, but if the cost-effectiveness is too low, they are often unwilling to pay attention to humans.

The reason why Mu Hua always calls the energy generated by extreme emotions negative energy is because it is easier to create negative emotions.

Fear, jealousy, greed, lust, anger, it is easy and quick to create. Monsters are also better at obtaining this energy by causing harm to other creatures.

Monsters actually hate the undead as well, because fighting the undead is too cost-effective and the undead don't have anything they need.

An undead wizard led a group of black-armored skeleton generals in a head-on battle, and suffered heavy losses on his own side.

There are only two humans on the opposite side, so what's the point of fighting? Are they going to help that damn hellhound kill its master?
The Goblin Captain didn't think that Zhou Yi would be Mu Hua's follower, but a human who could mingle with the hellhounds should not be easy to deal with. At this time, the Goblin Captain on the opposite side probably just wanted Mu Hua to get out as soon as possible.

"Are you sure there is no goblin general?" After the goblins on the city wall killed the raven and then became silent, Taibetha asked Mu Hua.

"It's impossible to confirm. There is a big tent and several caves inside. There seems to be a mineral vein here. Forget it, let's go. I'll come and take a look myself later." Mu Hua said to Taibesha.

The goblins here are quite troublesome. It is difficult to assess the true combat power of goblins of this structure. It is not uncommon to see a bear goblin of level 200 or 300.

Especially the wolf and giant bat. The former can allow the goblins to form cavalry running in the dense forest, and the latter combined with the goblin wizard can form an air force.

If it were him alone, he could try to use his summoned beasts to provoke a few waves, but since Taibesha was following him, Mu Hua was a little worried that something might happen to Taibesha.

"Don't do anything rash. There may be more than one camp like this nearby. They also have giant bats. Be careful not to attract an encirclement." Taibetha advised hurriedly.

"Master, if there is a mineral vein, there will definitely be other monster groups joining forces to defend here. At least there will be a goblin general paying attention to this place." Zhou Yi followed Mu Hua and slowly retreated.

The mineral veins in the courtyard are also resources for monsters. Not only can they be used to create equipment, but the mined ore can also be sent back to hell and used as sacrifices for their next projection.

"Well, should we report the matter of the mineral vein to the union? Or should we talk to Samantha?" In response to Tabitha's persuasion, Mu Hua nodded perfunctorily.

"Let's not report it yet. There's actually no need to tell Samantha."

"I don't know what kind of mineral vein it is, and it's too early. Even if we take it over, we will definitely be counterattacked by monsters. It's too costly to defend the mineral vein now." Tabitha thought.

Reporting the situation of the mineral vein to the union can gain union contribution, but without solid evidence and not knowing what specific mineral vein it is, the contribution points given will not be too many.

Since Taibesha was not greedy for these contribution points, Mu Hua didn't say much.

Mineral veins were not something Mu Hua could touch for the time being. As they spoke, Mu Hua and Taibesha slowly retreated toward the city wall.

Since both sides feel that it is not worthwhile to mess with the other side, then they should stop glaring at each other.

Following Mu Hua, under the watchful eyes of the goblin centurion on the city wall, a group of black-armored skeleton generals marched with heavy steps, disappearing among the forest and vegetation like ghosts.
