Chapter 71 Ogre (Class)

After ordering the entire army to rest, the soldiers consciously took out dry food from their pockets and swallowed it with clean water.

Because they are closer to the goblin tribe, Murphy ordered the soldiers not to start a fire, so as not to alarm the snake. Although most of the residents of Athenian towns eat two meals a day, the soldiers still maintain the habit of eating three meals a day. Because they need to consume a lot of physical energy, they will not be able to keep up with their physical energy in less than a few days after eating two meals.

The meat provided by the town is mainly fish, and cattle are not slaughtered. Lambs killed a lot of them in the last battle with the werewolves.

Now, fish and meat are mainly used in the territory, including Murphy.

After dinner, the soldiers consciously sat on the ground to recover their physical strength. At this time, the quality of the professional army was reflected, and the entire team was very quiet. The soldiers seized time to rest, rarely talked to others, let alone making loud noises.

Murphy and the new general Marcus Kane were discussing how to arrange an encirclement later, leaving all the goblins. After some discussion, the two decided to leave the cavalry five hundred meters away and only take the infantry to touch them. The movement of the cavalry was too great, and it was difficult not to disturb the goblins. Six teams of Greek infantry touched them from the side, while the other two teams spread out their formation and opened the encirclement from the front.

The combat power of creatures like goblins is very low, so Murphy is not worried that they will break through after pulling out the formation.

Even the Greece's gun array can be blocked by zombies. If even these goblins can't be blocked, it would be a joke. How can those were zombies with an average height of more than two meters behave when facing the goblins with an average height of about 1.34 meters?

I rested on the spot for about two hours.

When the moon rose, it was about eight o'clock in the evening, Murphy ordered the whole army to advance.

Faced with goblins, there is no need to attack them specifically, so they don’t have to wait until the early morning to fall asleep. Murphy just wanted to use the night to pull them closer so that they could catch them all in one go.

The soldiers put down some things and went into battle lightly, while the tents they carried were guarded by the cavalry of the general guards organized by half a team.

Taking advantage of the night, Murphy led his army to a small hill about two hundred meters away from the Goblin Camp. With the moonlight, he looked at the Goblin Camp from afar. Three bonfires were lit in the goblin camp, and some things could be seen vaguely.

Although the goblins' ethnic group is still quite primitive, it still seems a little more advanced than the werewolves.

At least they also know how to use mud to make houses like short mud, and then use wood to surround the camp to surround a simple wooden fence. In contrast, the goblins' camp is more like a village.

Although very primitive.

Murphy made a gesture, and general Marcus Kane nodded, waved his hand, and touched the left with two teams of Greek infantry. The two teams of Greek infantry were mixed with a small team of Crete archers to solve some unnecessary troubles. Murphy himself took two other teams of Greek infantry to touch from the right and unfolded the encirclement.

The distance gradually narrows.

There are about thirty small earthblocks piled with mud and stones in the goblin camp, and the leaders and warriors of the goblins are asleep. A large number of ordinary goblins are sleeping on the ground near the campfire. They have no status in the tribe and have the least food to obtain. Of course, they are also the priority candidates for cannon fodder in battle.

When it is about 150 meters away.

A goblin in charge of the vigil seemed to notice a little movement. It climbed up the fence and looked at the night, but before it could find anything, an arrow hit the night and penetrated directly through its throat.

"kill!"

A torch lighted up, and then the torch was lit one by one around.

The Greek infantry spread out their formation and stepped forward, the defense line contracted forward, and the sound of horse hooves running not far away also sounded!

The sudden shout of killing made the goblin immediately stunned!

The goblins who had just fallen asleep had a rumbling sound and looked around in panic.

The surroundings were full of torches, and Greek infantry covered by the night gradually appeared in front of the goblins. Faced with these tall, large numbers and well-equipped soldiers, the goblins were already disintegrating before they could fight. They wanted to escape, but they were powerless to find that there were enemies everywhere, and they were completely surrounded!

"Jili-gula-gulu..."

A very tall goblin came out of the largest rustic house. It was a big goblin with a height of nearly 1.6 meters. It was equipped with leather armor, a metal helmet on its head, and a small wolf-tooth hammer in its hand. It was summoning soldiers in the goblin language that Murphy couldn't understand. Soon, some goblins with obviously taller bodies gathered around it. These goblins were equipped with simple leather armor and were holding metal weapons in their hands. I guess they were the warriors in the goblin tribe.

"Cum!" Murphy pointed to the tallest goblin and said slowly: "Kill all the goblins equipped with leather armor!"

What Murphy wants is goblin slaves. These larger goblins are obviously the leadership class and have a certain prestige among the goblin tribe. Murphy does not have much energy to manage these goblin soldiers now, so killing all of these goblin soldiers is the easiest way. As long as the leader is all dead, the other goblins will be in a mess. That is, it is convenient to manage, and you can also directly pull them out to be coolies.

The bonfire inside the goblin camp provides a view for the Crete archers.

A team of Crete archers placed the arrow on and aimed at the taller goblins in the crowd to shoot one by one.

"Push. Kill all those who dare to resist!" Murphy needs hard-working slaves. Those goblins who dare to take up weapons to resist are easier to turn into corpses, which can save a lot of trouble.

Greek infantry strode forward, and the goblins who wanted to resist and rush out were pierced by them with their spears.

The soldiers used the tips of their guns to lift the bodies of those who dared to resist the goblins, intimidating the other goblins.

The battle lasted less than three minutes before it ended.

This goblin group has a population of about 1,500. After a short battle, about 150 taller goblin warriors who wanted to resist were killed by the soldiers one by one. After all the leaders were killed, the surviving goblins honestly put down their weapons and shivered in fear. They hurried together and looked at the human soldiers in front of them with fearful eyes.

"It seems that there is no need to translate it." Murphy smiled.

He waved his hand and said to the general Marcus Kane behind him: "Tie these goblins with ropes, kill all the old, weak, sick and disabled after dawn, and you will take the rest back to your territory."

Murphy was not a philanthropist, and his purpose in this trip was to capture labor-powered goblin slaves.

So he doesn't need the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

Now it's not killing just to avoid irritating the goblins, Murphy believes that General Marcus Kane knows what to do tomorrow morning.

General Marcus Kane nodded, turned around and arranged for the soldiers to collect the goblins' weapons and leather armor, and ordered them to tie the goblins up with ropes. Of course, the sticks of ordinary goblins do not need, but some iron weapons still need to be collected. These irons can be recasted and recasted, and leather armor can be used separately. Even if they are not needed, they can be sold to the lower mercenaries. As for the ropes, Murphy had already arranged people to prepare them before he came.

There is no need to tie up all these thousand goblins.

Just tie your hands together one by one.

The battle was completely crushing, without any suspense, Murphy's soldiers didn't even have any scratches. After gathering the goblin slaves to guard, Murphy ordered the soldiers to divide into two teams to take turns to watch.

Then, the knights of the General Guard set up a tent for him.

No words all night.

The next day, Murphy woke up early.

Because there were goblins crying outside the tent, the howling of these short creatures was quite loud, so it was not an exaggeration to call them ghost crying and wolf howling.

When he walked out of the tent, General Marcus Kane had already returned.

He nodded to Murphy, indicating that the old, weak, sick and disabled among the goblins had been dealt with.

Then, the army was divided into two.

General Marcus Kane led three teams of Greek infantry to escort more than a thousand goblin slaves back to the town of Athens, while Murphy led the remaining troops to continue moving forward. After escorting the goblin slaves back to the territory, he would rush back with his army to pick up Murphy.

There is a lot of demand for slaves in the territory now.

Although these goblins are short, they are more powerful than they are. Murphy plans to catch another one or two thousand goblin slaves and go back.

The army was advancing south of the deserted highlands by the bushes, while the cavalry of the general guard continued to scatter and investigate the terrain.

Until around nine o'clock in the morning, the army arrived near a concave valley.

The environment of the deserted highlands is relatively deserted, and the land is far less fertile than the southern plains. Many areas are still sandy and gravel land, and there are not many species that survive. Murphy saw many small animals such as lizards, but there are rare large groups of antelope and other creatures.

After picking a place with a wide view, Murphy ordered the entire army to take a break.

At this moment, a light cavalry rushed back on his horse.

"Governor General, there are some huge creatures fighting about three kilometers south!" The knight turned over and dismounted, quickly walked to Murphy and panted.

"A huge creature? How big is it?" Murphy asked in a deep voice by picking up the water bag and handing it to the soldier.

He took the water bag gratefully, and the Knight sipped several times before speaking: "He has a hideous face, is nearly three meters tall, is very strong, has a horn on his forehead, is covered with animal fur, is not equipped with armor, and the weapons are animal bones and wooden sticks."

After hearing that the other party was not equipped with armor and excellent weapons, Murphy's expression was slightly relaxed.

But then, he thought.

If he remembered correctly, the huge footprints he saw deep into the Karazan Mountains were also coming towards the direction of the deserted stone highlands?
