Chapter 45 Surrender
Fireballs roared into the Goblin village, and the tree houses were lit one by one, and the village turned into a sea of fire in a blink of an eye. The Goblin croaked and was forced out, and the trees were burning and the smoke was walls. The Goblin organized several breakthroughs, but was forced back by a rain of arrows.
Arrows were like locusts, constantly shooting into the woods, nailed onto the trees, and inserted into the ground. Many goblins were shot into sieves, and the goblins' blood was stained with green and red bushes.
Seeing that the mercenaries were almost over, the soldiers were divided into two groups and surrounded from left and right. In the end, more than 400 goblins were surrounded by 300 elite mercenaries, completely cutting off the possibility of escape.
Goblins are weaker than imagined, because most elites died at Zhang Mu before. Goblins in the village are generally only at level 15 or 16, and most of the elite mercenaries reach level 18, and they have a great advantage in equipment and skills. There is no suspense in the battle results.
"Quake!Quake!"
The Goblin, led by an elite warrior, launched a breakthrough again.
The Sang Dog swept out a violent leap wind. The leader of the goblin warrior was knocked out on the spot and crashed into a big tree surrounded by several people on the opposite side. He was almost smashed into meat sauce. He must not be able to survive.
"Storm and arrows!"
Yang Yi pulled out his longbow and shot an arrow into the sky. About a second passed, hundreds of energy arrows were scattered. The goblins were directly defeated by the rainstorm-like arrows and spells, completely losing their ability to resist. Many goblins threw away their weapons and screamed and wrapped them into a ball, "Wuqa!" "Wuqa!" They screamed non-stop, as if they accepted the fate of massacre.
Leng Yun activates the spell combo, and a range of magic [Frost is coming] is about to be thrown out. Suddenly, a goblin child in front of him was shot through his throat by a mercenary. He fell to the ground and kept twitching. He held the wound in his neck with one hand and extended his hand to Leng Yun from a distance, throwing a look full of pain and prayer.
"Woo gull!"
"Woo gull!"
The little Goblin's wailing and gaze before his death made Leng Yun unable to help but feel compassion, and she was a little unable to do anything.
Just a child!
Gob is a wise race with rich emotions, and it is the enemy's position. Either you die or I live. Leng Yun will take action without hesitation. In the goblin, a considerable number of elderly and young children who are incompetent in combat are purely massacres now!
"Stop! Stop, stop fighting, stop fighting!" Leng Yun was considering whether to stop the mercenary massacre. Du Rongrong screamed in anxiety and pulled Zhang Mu and shouted, "Goblin threw away the weapon, they have surrendered! Let everyone stop! They are so weak and there are many children, so we should not kill them all!"
Although Du Rongrong is young, she is one of the core members of the Huangquan Mercenary Group and is also a real elder. Most of the mercenaries participating in the war are Huangquan mercenaries. When he heard Du Rongrong's call, many people stopped attacking, and others stopped attacking when they saw Huangquan people stopping and also stopped attacking.
The goblins have less than 400 left.
Most of them were injured.
Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Mu. Hundreds of goblins were either born or died, only in Zhang Mu's thoughts.
"Rongrong, I know you are kind-hearted!" Zhang Mu sighed and said helplessly: "This is a land where the strong prey on the weak. Those who are not our tribe will have different hearts. We must not be soft-hearted when fighting with foreign tribes. The current situation is low and weak, and I am strong. If it is reversed, I think the Goblin will definitely kill all humans without hesitation, and will definitely ignore the elderly and children! This is a death-breaking battle, and it is even more a war!"
"But Goblins surrendered. They are so weak and cannot pose a threat to humans. Maybe it's useful. Just listen to me once, just this time..."
Zhang Mu secretly observed other people.
Leng Yun didn't speak, but she could see from her expression that she must support Du Rongrong. She didn't want the mercenaries to massacre goblins. After all, there were a large number of old men and children. They were not warriors and should not face war and death.
Liu Shuiyan is almost the same as Sun Lin.
Ye Qianqiu and Cheng Bo did not do anything. It was not that Ye Qianqiu was kind-hearted, but Ye Qianqiu, who was proud of his personality, was disdainful to kill a group of weak creatures who had lost their fighting spirit.
Zhang Mu's eyes fell back to less than 400 people, and he was still trembling and had no combat power. He sighed in his heart. Anyway, it would not be a threat for the time being, so he would not kill him for now. He took out the half-length necklace from his backpack and put it on. The effect of the language made him understand the goblin language.
A goblin shouted "Wugu" and the goblin word means "free life" and "surrender", and the goblin is begging for mercy to mankind.
Zhang Mu said in Goblin language: "You attacked the human ranks, so you must be punished!"
Zhang Mu spoke for a whimpering sound, and the mercenaries were stunned. It took a while before they could react and spoke in the goblin language!
When the Goblin saw someone who could stand up for communication, they all showed joy, as if they saw hope of survival, an older goblin stood up. The goblin lived about 50 years old, and this goblin was 49 years old without 50. He was wearing a linen robe, wrinkles all over his body, and leaning on a wooden stick. His image was a bit similar to Master Yoda in "Star Wars".
This old goblin who stepped into the coffin with half a foot had a transcendent status in the village, and might have a role like the village chief, said in an unpleasant voice: "Sir, I am the elder of the village chief. I apologize to you for the goblin's recklessness and rudeness. The warrior who offended the powerful human warriors should be executed immediately. Please let the child live a life!"
Zhang Mu did not show any heart-warming expression and said coldly: "You can survive, but you have to pay the price."
This battle killed and injured Goblin soldiers. As the winner, humans may take away all the resources in the village. In the end, even if humans do not kill all the goblins, the village will find it difficult to gain a foothold.
The Goblin Elder looked at the goblin corpse around him, touched the crutches on his hand, and said without hesitation: "Goblin is willing to surrender!"
"Submission?" Zhang Mu just wanted goblin food and resources, but he didn't expect goblins to choose to surrender. "What's the use of a group of weak goblins? You don't look delicious either!"
The Goblin was trembling with fear.
The Goblin's face was also the same, and he hurriedly said: "Goblin's meat cannot be eaten. Goblin knows how to plant and collect, so he can get food for adults!"
“Planting and collecting?”
"Yes, just as the dwarves are born proficient in forging, goblins are born with collecting skills. Goblins know a little about magic planting. As long as humans do not kill us, they provide protection for the weak goblins, goblins are willing to become human slaves and serve humans!"
The words of the Goblin Elder made Zhang Mu very excited. Because of his past experience, Zhang Mu always thought that foreign races must be killed, and he never thought of subdivide foreign races.
If some weak alien races can be subdued and tied to their own chariots, wouldn’t the human race’s strength be improved?
There are six or seven races in the Shuguang area, but only the human race, the dog race, and the goblin race, have the power that is not inferior to humans or even surpasses the human race. Other races, such as goblins, cat men, and scavengers, are very weak.
These races lack cohesion and at most they live in the wild in the village mode. They run out to attack other races without any trouble, grab some money or supplies, and generally do not have the climate and cannot participate in racial struggles.
Zhang Mushang had a concern: "Why do we believe that you will be loyal to us if we kill hundreds of goblins?"
The Goblin Elder was very smart. He felt the change in human thoughts from Zhang Mu's tone. He immediately put down his crutches and knelt down. The other Goblins were very tacit and all knelt on the ground.
"More than two hundred years ago, a goblin refuge came to the Blood Light Plain and gradually dispersed all over the plains, forming small villages, struggling on the edge of survival. We are facing destruction at all times, and death is already commonplace for us. No one dares to hold a grudge against humanity, because for the goblins, survival is always the first priority."
"It would be too unhappy to live like this."
"Only strong tribes have dignity, and weak tribes only seek to survive!" The Goblin Elder bent down and kissed the soil in front of the battle boots, "We just want to survive!"
Zhang Mu looked at other goblins.
Most of them were injured, both men, women, young and old, knelt on the ground and shivered, kissing the earth desperately. There was no trace of hatred in their eyes. Those dead tribe members seemed to be the same.
There were less than 700 goblins in the entire goblins, and many were killed near the secret realm. A few hundred mercenaries attacked the village. More than half of a whole village were killed by humans. In this case, the goblins did not have any resentment, but instead were eager to seek their lives by surrender. This was incredible to humans.
Perhaps, it is a new race who lives in a civilized world for thousands of years and suddenly enters a cruel world where power is truly respected and purely follows the precepts of the weak. His thoughts and ideas cannot be changed for the time being.
The Goblins gave up the latter without hesitation between survival and dignity. This is perhaps the reason why such a small and weak tribe can survive thousands of years and never become extinct.
Only strong clans have dignity!
The weak only seek to survive!
What the Goblin elder said casually may be a true portrayal of the weak. If humans were enslaved or oppressed for thousands of years, the resistance and rebellion in their bones would have been exhausted long ago, and they might not be much better than the Goblins. After all, survival is the most primitive instinct.
Zhang Mu waved to everyone, and the mercenary put away all the weapons, "I can temporarily accept your surrender. From today on, you are the private property of mankind, and humans protect you, and you serve mankind! The Goblin dared to have any intentions and acts, and I will make you regret coming to the world."
The Goblin elder was overjoyed and kept kissing the ground to express his gratitude.
Zhang Mu found the goblin resource reserves in several tree holes. The Goblin Elder did not lie. The goblin has the talent for collecting. There are a large amount of magic ore, magic herbs, leather, and ingredients hidden in the tree hole. Zhang Mu took away most of them without hesitation, leaving only a little for the goblin to survive and consume.
"What are you collecting ore for?" Zhang Mu felt a little strange: "Can the goblins forge?"
Goblin shook his head and said, "Goblin doesn't know magic forging. If you collect ore, you can exchange it for gold coins and buy other living resources."
Zhang Muyi asked in surprise: "There are places similar to markets in the Blood Light Plain, which kind of place to provide transactions?"
Goblin did not deny it: "Yes, we call this kind of place a black market. It is an underground trading location that is secretly opened by outside races or business alliance forces. It sneaks into the Shuguang area. There are quite a risk of going to the black market, because in the black market, other races often encounter them. If they do not have the ability to protect themselves, but are too eye-catching, they will definitely be killed! So Goblins dare not sell high-end ore and materials!"
