Chapter 74: Changes in the Magic Horn Tree Forest

Chapter 74 – Changes in the Devil Horn Tree Forest
“Kill all these Devil Horn Goblins!” With a wave of Owen’s hand, who was mounted on a heavily armored magic goat, hundreds of elite soldiers began to stride forward without hesitation in the face of a far greater number of enemies.

The longsword sergeants held their shields in front, decapitating the devil horn kobolds that dared to approach, while the crossbow soldiers located at the back began to fire freely.

Compared to the bow, the advantage of the crossbow is that it is easy to aim and shoot at close range, aiming and pulling the trigger can be done, so the effect within ten paces is equivalent to firearms, it is difficult to dodge, although the mutated Demon Horn Kobolds are agile, but they also do not have the ability to dodge crossbow arrows, not to mention that these crossbow soldiers are the system of the elite, there is no case of panicking when faced with the enemy, and more or less know about the prejudgement and so on, so even if you can’t hit the vitals, the shot hit the torso, and then the arrow will hit the body. Even if you can’t directly hit the vitals, it’s still not a problem to hit the torso, and as long as you’re hit, the longswordsman can take the target away with a single move by stepping forward.

The battlefield is not a solo battle, the cooperation between each other is very important, there is no head grabbing and so on, so a melee and a long-distance attack with a very tacit understanding.

However, the Demon Horn Goblins, after all, had the numerical advantage, when hundreds of Demon Horn Goblins were startled and rushed over together, a hundred soldiers alone couldn’t stop them, so it was the turn of the Teutonic Samurai to come out.

When the iron canned Teutonic warriors wielded the heavy swords in their hands, they became the reapers of death on the battlefield, there was no existence that could withstand their attacks, there was no existence that could break their defenses, at this moment, the Teutonic warriors dominated the battlefield.

In the face of simply hanging Teutonic warriors, the magic horn kobolds can not carry, their hands of sticks and stones in the face of a full body armor of the opponent can only hear a sound, and their bodies in the face of the enemy’s sword is so powerless, rushed to the forefront of the now have become a piece of a patchwork of broken pieces, and the enemy in addition to the armor more than a number of blood stains on the fragment, and even wielded a heavy sword action has not changed in the slightest, is still alive! The still alive Demon Horn Goblins had no doubt that if they didn’t run, then they would all be turned into a ground of broken meat.

Therefore, until now, there was no leader who could truly lead the Demon Horn Goblins, so the rout was inevitable.

The Teutonic warriors were brave and invincible, like an electric fan dropped into a chicken coop, but their too slow mobility limited their pursuit of the enemy, but the longswordsmen were not short-legged tin cans, advancing and retreating like the wind was their style, and stepping forward to slash was their favorite, and thus they became the main force of the pursuit, but soon enough the Demon Goat Cavalry led by the Goblin General became the new main force of the pursuit.

Each Magic Sheep Cavalry was a kobold produced by the system, they were clad in light armor and wielded short-handled wolfsbane clubs, with the help of the charge of the Magic Sheep, they were able to easily crack the bones of their enemies.

Under the soldiers’ efficient cleanup, there were only a few dozens of Magic Horn Goblins that eventually escaped, but unfortunately, such a glorious victory did not make the system’s progress value increase again, which made Owen a little disappointed.

After the Goblin General led the Demon Goat Cavalry in a vicious chase, he came to kneel in front of Lord Demon King in shame.

“Follow.” Owen ignored the kobold general who couldn’t move and knelt down, rode the heavily armored demon sheep, and entered the kobold horde under the escort of the Teutonic warriors who silently guarded around him.

After entering the Goblin tribe, Owen realized that the mutated were not only the Magic Horned Goblins, the system transformed Goblins were also mutated, only the direction of the mutation was completely opposite to the Magic Horned Goblins.

The devil’s horn kobold lost some of its sanity in exchange for power, while the transformed kobold became more intelligent.

At this time, the kobolds in the tribe, their features became softer, even the hawkish nose was shrunken and softened, at the same time, their eyes became bigger, their mouths became smaller, and their original hunched appearance also became straight, just as after thousands of years of evolution they stepped into the field of civilization.

Although the changes were great, but the ability of the system was trustworthy, at least Owen didn’t have to worry about the Goblin tribe getting out of his control.

Another thing that surprised him was that the mutated kobolds had the qualifications to become civilians. The goblin tribe looked pretty good, Owen left the healer behind and then said to the goblin general.

“Take me to the ruins.”

“As you wish Lord Demon King!” As soon as the bloodstained Goblin General heard Lord Demon King’s tone, it knew that it wasn’t blamed, but as a henchman but needing Lord Demon King to come to the rescue, it was too humiliating, so it fought to go at the forefront.

Because of the super farmland, the nearby magic horn tree has signs of activation, but a half-dead look, just need to restart the super farmland, in a short time these activation magic horn tree have to turn into fuel, so Owen just raised his head to look at did not put it in mind.

The super farmland avenue was the first place to be repaired, all smooth stone road, so the group walked very fast, Owen could already see the remains of the deep excavation.

The kobold farmers worked very skillfully, they dug the soil above the ruins into a large pit, then dug along the pit, repairing it into a spiral walkway, although they walked farther, it was easier, and they also built wooden frames like hanging towers for transporting strips of stone directly from the bottom of the pit, so no wonder the work efficiency was so high.

Because of the high efficiency of the kobolds, they unexpectedly dug through the second layer of the ruins and touched something, resulting in the outbreak of this mutation.

Now the ruins were occupied by a group of mutated monsters, the original form of which was the vinyl worms, hard-skinned rats, and thorn spiders of the Magic Horn Tree Forest.

Vinyl Worm is a kind of worm with tough leather, the adult is about one foot long, feeds on the sap of the Magic Horn Tree Roots, so it contains toxicity, and the mucus in its body has a very high temperature once it is ignited, but their larvae are only one finger long, white and fat, very delicious, but they only live in the depths of the Magic Horn Tree Roots, so they are difficult to capture.

Hard-skinned rats are good at making holes and feeding on the larvae of the black gummy worms. Because of their tough fur, they can withstand the thorns of the magic horn tree, and are one of the few creatures that can live in the forest of the magic horn tree.

Thorn Spiders, large spiders the size of a pot lid covered in bristles, agile predators, any creature that enters the Horned Forest is their food, mainly feeding on hard-skinned mice and kobolds.

Now they have mutated and gathered in the ruins based on their instincts, and are the ones Owen needs to destroy.

“What’s so special about all these mutated monsters?” Owen didn’t venture into the ruins because he wasn’t sure what was going on in there right now, so he asked the Goblin General first, just hoping that it could provide a little bit of useful information, otherwise he would need to think about whether or not to build a more qualified Goblin General to replace the other party.

The Goblin General who was not yet aware of his precarious position answered Owen’s question seriously, although it was not comprehensive enough, but if he could get so much intelligence in such a short time, then he would leave it for now.
