Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 73 Mutated Horned Goblin
Without further ado, Owen took Charles, Teutonic warriors, several ninjas, healers, and a hundred soldiers and rushed towards the Magic Horn Forest.

Considering the unknown situation, Owen did not go straight to the Goblin tribe, but chose Muzhai as his foothold.

Muzhai was originally used as a hiding place for Owen to hide troops. Later, due to exposure and the increasing importance of the Goblin tribe, it was transformed into a transfer station. After continuous expansion, Muzhai can accommodate 200 people for long-term garrison. And there is a warehouse with a considerable capacity to store the magic horn tree blocks and food transported from the Goblin tribe.

Thanks to the continuous felling in the past two years, not only the construction of the wooden village has become more solid and perfect, but there is also a large area of ​​open space around it as a buffer. Suffering too much damage from the attack of the mutated creatures, they retreated to the wooden village in time, killing many mutated creatures instead.

Right now, the crossbowmen were patrolling the wooden wall, the long swordsmen were waiting in full force, and the mutant creatures with many casualties bullied the weak and chose to retreat, so Owen entered the wooden village without any trouble.

After entering Muzhai, Owen asked the healer to treat the wounded with white fresh, and then began to ask about the situation, which made him look very unhappy.

It's not that the situation is bad, it's that you don't know the situation.

Although the units of the system are loyal, their initiative is very poor, and they look like they have nothing to do with themselves. The lower the units, the more this is the case, and they only know how to obey orders rigidly.

All in all, it would be difficult for them to let them go to death and let them take care of things. What can Owen do.

Because Muzhai has no host, so after being attacked, they will only retreat to Muzhai according to what Owen said before. As for more information, I don't know.

Helpless, Owen could only send all the scouts in Muzhai to inquire about the situation, and he couldn't just jump in without knowing everything.

Fortunately, according to the information brought back by the scouts, the current situation in the forest is not bad. After killing and injuring some mutant creatures, most of the rest have regained their senses and are returning to their original lives. Those who should eat grass eat grass, and those who should hunt should hunt , As for other influences, it will not be visible in a short time, so Owen decided to set off for the Goblin tribe immediately.

The road between the Goblin tribe and the wooden village has not yet been completed, but a large number of trees have been cut down, so the carriage cannot go, but walking is fine, which saves Owen a lot of worry.

Except for two days of food and drinking water, the group did not bring any extra supplies, because as long as they successfully entered the Goblin tribe, they would have no shortage of food and drinking water. If not, the lighter the burden when turning around and fleeing, the better.

The scouts in Muzhai are very familiar with the forest. They are the eyes of the troops to scout the way ahead, while the swordsmen and crossbowmen are responsible for fighting the mutant creatures encountered along the way. Beside Owen, everything is in order.

I just don’t know if it’s because the time is too short, or the fluctuations that lead to mutations are not as severe as imagined. Although I encountered some mutated animals and plants on the road, they were not as severe as imagined.

For example, the size has become bigger, and the minions have become sharper, stronger, and faster. This allows mutant creatures to gain better survivability, but they can't last longer than ordinary animals under long swords and crossbow arrows. Owen's heart that has been on his mind is more or less relaxed.

But near the goblin tribe, the mutation is a bit outrageous.

The originally tamed horned goblin was affected by the mutation, and its size became much larger. It has red eyes and black skin, sharp horns, and hideous muscles and bones, like a ghost. At the same time, it lost most of its sanity and replaced it with enhanced strength. Can fight two moves with the long swordsman.

If equipped with weapons, after training, the mutated horned goblins may not be inferior to long swordsmen, but it is still a question of whether they can master the use and training of weapons with the little rationality they have left.

Even so, it still made Owen very vigilant, because no one knew how many horned goblins there were in the horned forest, and how many horned goblins had mutated.

"Clean it up and let the scouts pay attention to our rear and sides." Owen knows how cunning goblins are. A low level of civilization does not mean that they are fools. Trapping, luring, and hunting have become their instincts. If you dare to be careless when you are in the forest, you will appear in their pot in a short time.

Owen's orders were executed perfectly, especially the ninjas. They are proficient in lurking and assassination, and with their high-explosive breathing techniques, they are even more powerful. Most of the horned goblins didn't know how they died until they died.

When Owen and the others came to the goblin tribe, the battle here was still going on. A large number of horned goblins tried to rush into the goblin tribe, but the general goblin obviously carried out his order very well, and the road construction gained A large amount of wood was used by it to build wooden walls, causing the entire tribe to be surrounded by logs several meters high, and a large number of arrow towers were built, so even if the individual strength and numbers do not have an advantage, they can still persist.

The reason why hundreds of horned goblins gather here is because they know that the goblin tribe has weapons, food, and everything they need, so even though there are many casualties, they are still unwilling to leave, and they are constantly During the battle, it continued to mutate, and even faintly produced more powerful horned goblins.

Now Owen discovered that some mutants with taller horns and longer horns appeared in this group of horned goblins, which made him feel very ridiculous.

What felt absurd was not the appearance of mutants, but the appearance and appearance of the horned goblin.

The horned goblins don't actually have horns, and their skin is not black, but in order to adapt to the environment of the horned tree forest, they would smear the horned tree on their bodies since they were young, which can neutralize the poison of the horned tree's thorns. root juice.

This thick and dark sap is slightly toxic. Humans will definitely not be able to bear it, and they will be severely allergic and even die. However, goblins have adapted to this toxicity through their own strong adaptability and rapid reproduction, and they have obtained the ability to live in the magic horn. The power of the forest of trees.

As for the horns on their heads, they are thorns from the horned tree. The horned goblins will stick a thorn from the horned tree on their heads when they become adults, which means they are adults, so the horned goblins are actually the same as Regular goblins aren't much different.

Of course, this was all before, and now they have indeed turned into the black skin in front of them, horns on their heads, and mouths full of fangs.

It's just that although the horned goblins have become stronger, they have also lost part of their sanity. In addition, there has never been a leader who can command all the horned goblins, and the rangers are fighting on their own, resulting in a stalemate in the battle.

The goblin soldiers relying on the wooden village and the arrow tower did not fall into a disadvantage. What's more, if the battle situation was unfavorable, the goblin general would rush out with the goblin goat cavalry to recover from the disadvantage, and they could hold on for a short time.
