Chapter 0030 Intelligence
Rubio took his men, held a torch, and shouted loudly in the village under the banner of "Half Hugo". He soon made the "robbery and embezzlement" known to everyone in the village.
The medicinal material merchants tried their best to threaten and insult, and the villagers who were involved in the robbery in the afternoon took the initiative to hand over the embezzled goods. The kind Lord Hugo will not pursue the investigation.
But the villagers were watching the fun. Those who received the benefits were silent. They neither ran away nor surrendered, but hid in their own shacks, hoping to be safe as an ostrich.
Zhou Qingfeng was originally worried that these brainless fools would connect with each other and organize to fight against him, but he still looked down on them. The reason why fools are fools is that they do not understand awe and rules at all.
Now is the time to set rules and discipline for them.
After nightfall, Todd fell into a coma. Whether he could survive it depends on his luck. The old dwarf was struggling for a day, and after nightfall, he happily dissected the bodies of three mud monsters without any fatigue.
Zhou Qingfeng was tired. He set up a tent next to the old dwarf's shack, laying a pile of hay inside the tent, and lit a bonfire outside the tent, so let's just sleep.
After a day of tiredness, I fell asleep deeply and the information network is turned on.
Cialek continued to train more than a dozen Dark Sun believers in its small divine realm, gathering faith, and giving divine art.
Zhou Qingfeng collects information from the red information flow. His network can only cover more than a dozen human villages in the Black Forest, which is convenient for knowing the latest changes that are happening in the Black Forest.
The goblins of the Magru tribe formally launched an attack on the human villages in the Black Forest. It is said that they organized an army of tens of thousands of goblins to try to subdue human resistance.
As a traitor to humans, Old Xius from Platy Village, led dozens of subordinates to join the attack on Baiyao Village by goblins, and even the commander. Baiyao Village has been trapped in a siege, a small village with only one or two hundred people, surrounded by countless goblins.
As for Kurozo Village, no one paid attention to it. Even though it was very close to the marching route of the Magru tribe, the goblins just didn't come. Obviously, they knew that it was poor and miserable, and there was no oil or water at all.
Zhou Qingfeng plundered Rubio's warehouse and had much more supplies than before. He used Xiao En Xiaohui to ask more than 100 civilians in various human settlements. After a unified analysis of the information he collected, the conclusion he came to scratched his head.
The threat from the Magru tribe does not seem to be as strong as expected.
A huge tribe of more than 100,000 goblins mobilized 10,000 troops, and this mobilization amount was probably mixed with water. Currently, among the fifteen human villages, except for the five betrayed, only Baiya Village was attacked among the remaining ten villages.
Other human villages were only slightly plagued and were on a high alert state, and there was no special movement.
Could it be that these goblins have only mobilized a few thousand troops, but they claim to be ten thousand, right?
When Cao Mengde fought the Battle of Red Cliff, he also led more than 100,000 troops, claiming to be an army of 800,000, which scared Dongwu almost surrendered.
Zhou Qingfeng was full of modern thinking and would not easily believe the enemy's propaganda when war broke out. Lao Xius from the Plaster Village became a "leader party". The civilians in the village were forced to provide logistics for the Magru tribe. After all, goblins also had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.
When the "Holy Light" descended to the Plaster Village, many civilians' prayers were related to the outbreak of war. Zhou Qingfeng easily collected more detailed and real information to facilitate him to evaluate the enemy's combat effectiveness.
The villagers of Baiya Village said that the goblins outside the village were "innumbered", but the villagers of the Fog Village provided more accurate numbers. They were responsible for transporting and supplying about a thousand people to the front line, which was actually a few kilometers of forest path, not far away.
A person's food rations can probably satisfy two or three goblins, which means that the number of goblins trapped in Baiya Village has been sank to death by 3,000. And only these 3,000 troops are still slow, and only seven or eight hundred people actually arrive at the front line in one day.
Even the goblins themselves don’t know the specific number of troops. After all, they don’t know how to count, and the number of mobilizations is considered.
Zhou Qingfeng recalled the goblins he had seen with his own eyes and thought to himself: "These goblins may really not be able to count, and it is even more impossible to play any too complicated tactics. Their war is like a large-scale fight, which relies on troops to play more."
If you can beat it, you will fight it, and if you can't beat it, you will fall apart.
It's that simple.
There should be powerful existences within the goblins, but their extremely poor organizational nature is destined to have a large number of exploitable loopholes inside them. As long as these loopholes can be grasped, it may not be impossible to destroy the war initiated by the Magru tribe.
Zhou Qingfeng rewarded several civilians in the plaster village and gave them some food. He found that he could only transmit simple items such as food and clothing on the information network. Other things were limited by their level and could not be caught.
He also paid special attention to the little girl named Sofia in Plaster Village, and provided him with a pair of cowhide boots and a roll of linen. The shoes are adult style, and Sofia is wearing too big, but it is better than nothing. The linen is rolled in her hands, barely a glove that can keep warm.
"Thank you, kind-hearted person." Sophia's voice was gentle and she liked the things Zhou Qingfeng sent. She could eat and wear warmly, and she quickly regained some vitality. "How should I thank you? I don't even know your name."
"My name is Victor, I don't need you to thank me for anything. I just hope you can survive." Zhou Qingfeng didn't expect this little girl to do anything. Life was too hard for her.
"But I really want to do something for you. Mom said that it will never last long to receive favors, and no one will keep a useless person." Sophia said pitifully, "I'm actually very worried, worried that you will abandon me. I don't want to be hungry anymore."
Alas, Zhou Qingfeng sighed, "I am actually an ordinary person. If you want to repay me, just tell me about the situation in the Plaster Village. Didn't you say that there were goblins in the village? Are there any new things they have now?"
"Ah, I happen to know this." The little girl shouted happily, "Old Seus in our village decided to join the Magru tribe, and a gray-skinned goblin shaman named Zul came to our village.
The goblin shaman was very old, holding a skeleton staff in his hand. The whole village was extremely frightened and very scared in front of it. Today I heard from the kitchen servant that the old goblin asked us to transport two trenchers to Baiya Village tomorrow."
A trencher?
"Where did the catapult come from?" Zhou Qingfeng asked. With the ignorance of the goblin, it is absolutely impossible to create a war armor like a catapult.
"It seems that the people from the Bain Church brought it. They built an ordnance factory on the territory of the Magru tribe. Today I saw several church people coming to the village. Some were very fierce and could kill people with their eyes; some were listless, like slave labor."
Delivery of trenchers tomorrow?
