Pine Tower City.
As a human city developed from a small town in the wilderness, there were very few residents in the city, gradually replaced by newcomers.
The Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda was a place for Wizards to live and research, and was not suitable for the busy family to handle internal affairs. Therefore, as early as twenty years ago, Gargamel had already moved his office to the small city of Pine Tower.
From then on, there were two centers of activity within the family.
The Wizards and acolytes used the Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda as the center, conducting their own Wizard Spell research and family missions. As for the daily handover of resources between the nobles and the local areas, as well as disputes and complaints, they were all handled in Pine Tower City.
Thus, as the secondary center, Pine Tower City underwent a series of expansions and renovations. The old, low buildings were all torn down and replaced with rows of exquisite villas. Also, for privacy reasons, every building was equipped with an independent defensive spell formation and Wizard Barrier, able to isolate the outside world from probing.
Thus, the wandering Wizards and acolytes who did not have the right to study in the Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda liked to rent a villa as their base of operations. Even nobles from all over had to rest here for a few days when they came to Pine Tower City to meet the Gargamel.
As the Crimson Family's territory and affairs became more and more complicated, Pine Tower City had about one to two thousand people coming and going every day, and thirteen thousand permanent residents. With such a large number of people, it naturally led to the consumption of food and entertainment in the city.
It had to be said that Pine Tower City, which barely had the population of a small city, had the highest standard of living and quality of life in the entire Elovis region.
But with the outbreak of the Wizard War, the Crimson Family's territory had almost all fallen. Thus, the nobles, Wizards, and acolytes who were loyal to the family could only flee back to Pine Tower City.
In a short period of time, all the high-class villas, inns, and hotels in the city were filled with nobles of all sizes, but they could not stop the influx of newcomers. In the end, strange magic tents began to appear in large numbers, and were quickly booked by the nobles who had nowhere else to stay.
All the nobles who lost their land gathered in Pine Tower City, running around every day to find out about the situation of the battle.
This was the last stop they could retreat to.
If … If the Crimson Family could not resist the enemy's invasion, then with the fall of Pine Tower City, they would inevitably fall into the hands of the Fabris Family. With the enmity between the two sides, and the cruelty of the Fabris Family, one could even imagine what would happen to these nobles who had rejected the other party's recruitment.
Therefore, whenever a large-scale battle broke out in the south, everyone began to silently pray for the blessing of the God of Luck.
If the Crimson Family obtained victory and repelled the enemy's attack, then they would rejoice and be extremely excited. If the Crimson Family lost a battle and lost a certain territory, they would sigh and sigh, their faces filled with worry.
As the war progressed, the hearts of the nobles in Songta City fluctuated like a roller coaster, wandering back and forth between heaven and hell every day.
…
Villa District.
In an exquisite villa, tens of goblins in luxurious clothing were having an intense debate.
"We can't go on like this …" A guy in a well-ironed military uniform, who was obviously from the Musen Merchant Group that liked to do arms trading, waved his arm and shouted, "We, the goblins, have sacrificed enough these days. We can't go on like this …"
"Yes, yes …" Another goblin quickly agreed, "I've already done the calculations. In this month, the number of mechanical Warlocks who died on the battlefield has reached 200. What about those human Magi? Less than 5 died … This is not fair! "
"There's nothing unfair about this!" An old goblin with a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose shook his head, "Human Magi like to fight under the protection of magic equipment, but our goblin mechanical Warlocks are all fighting on the frontlines. Naturally, the ratio of casualties is different!"
"But most of the sacrifices in the war have fallen on the heads of us goblins, and their status is still lower than those human Magi … We have to step out and protest, fight for it …"
"When? When? Now? " The old goblin raised his hand to adjust the frame of his glasses, and a mocking smile appeared on his dark green face, "Are you sure you want to discuss the treatment of mechanical Warlocks on the frontlines with Lord Gargamel when the war is at its most intense?"
At the mention of the sinister and vicious Gargamel, the goblins who were shouting loudly just now immediately became mute and said, "… Anyway, we have to fight for the benefits of our compatriots …"
"Idiots! Benefits are obtained with blood and sweat, not by shouting loudly … "A trace of pain flashed in the old goblin's eyes," We can only choose to rely on the Crimson Family now. If we want to fight for the benefits of the younger generation, we have to be brave and fight with actual achievements and contributions, and not think of ways to drag them down. "
Speaking up to this point, the old goblin raised his head and looked at the many people in the room, and said earnestly, "I know that some of you here have already contacted the other party and received some promises. But, I need you to think carefully. If the Crimson Family is really defeated, as insiders, how do you plan to supervise the other party to carry out the previous promises? "
The Great Goblin Sage Kabi crossed his legs and sat high up in the seat of honor, allowing the two goblin beauties beside him to massage his shoulders. He smoked a thick cigar while quietly sizing up the few goblin leaders present.
Deputy leader of the Blackwater Conglomerate, Jamesini? Wallet …
Executive Director of the Venture Capital Company, Lazer …
Head of the Musen Business Group, Mordkin …
Vice President of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, Pausch …
Chairman of the Magician Machinist Alliance, Wizard Locke …
Leader of the Violent Blood Group, Ducila? Lassalle …
…
To be honest, those who could appear in this room were all powerful figures in the goblin race. Although the goblin factions mostly sent their assistants or subordinates, they could also fully represent the major forces behind them.
In contrast, the Magician Locke and the Mechanical Warlock leader, Ducila, who were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and power, did not speak much. Instead, like the convener Kabi, they coldly watched the representatives of the major forces perform like clowns.
Compared to the Blackwater Conglomerate, the Venture Capital Company, and the Musen Business Group, although the Magicians and Mechanical Warlocks were still a minority, they represented the future of the goblin race.
And at this moment, these fellows who had been deeply immersed and transformed by the Sorcerer system were obviously not thinking the same way as their former comrades. As for the old goblin who represented the Goblin Research Institute's dean, he seemed to have a more comprehensive view than the other goblins, and seemed unwilling to get involved in the power struggle.
And the few 'stupid' goblins did not seem to understand this, and were still carefully probing the old goblin to see if he could provide some support in the goblins' "righteous act" of fighting for individual rights.
"Support? What kind of support? "The old goblin narrowed his eyes and asked knowingly.
"Of course it's the biggest bargaining chip we have in our hands …" The goblin in the military uniform rubbed his hands nervously. "I think … if … it's possible … the old dean is willing to use the puppet dragon to slightly pressure those human Sorcerers!"
When the words' puppet dragon 'came out of the mouth of the goblin in the military uniform, the few goblin leaders present all raised their eyebrows, and their gazes became cold and sharp.
This was the rhythm of wanting the goblins to be exterminated …
Silently, the few goblin leaders looked at each other and began to consider their future path of retreat and development.
Betray the Crimson Family?
This kind of thinking was a path of no return!
After wandering the Sorcerer World for so many years and broadening their horizons, it also made the intelligent and knowledgeable goblins more aware of the huge gap in power between the Goblin Plane and the Sorcerer World.
The Goblin Plane fell into the eyes of the Sorcerers, and the fate of the Goblin Plane was also decided.
To be honest, the Goblin Plane being able to fall into the hands of the Crimson Family, who had a more gentle and open-minded way of ruling, was already their greatest fortune!
If they were slightly unlucky, if it were any other Magus family, it would definitely be an all-out invasion, and they would be exploited and squeezed dry. As for recognizing the goblins as citizens and giving them a chance to integrate into the Magus system, these actions had never been taken by other Magus families.
Citizens and slaves … The difference in status between the two was something that all the field goblins were well aware of.
Hence, when they saw that the Crimson Family was in trouble, they chose to betray them and rely on another powerful Magus family. This sounded good, but if they really put it into practice, the entire goblin race would be dragged into the abyss of death.
The other party urgently needed to get rid of the influence of the Crimson Family's rank 4 Magical Golem Dragon, which was why they promised so many benefits and benefits. However, if the goblins really changed sides, how could they compete with the human Magi of the other family?
Would the other party really give goblin Magi the same status and treatment as human Magi?
After taking away the Magical Golem Dragon, would the other party allow such a powerful magical machine to remain in the hands of the goblins?
Would the goblin race obtain freedom and power that far exceeded what they had now?
After being influenced by the knowledge of the new world, the goblins who had stepped out of the plane were no longer frogs at the bottom of a well. They had a deep understanding of the bloodshed and cruelty of the competition in the plane world. How could they be like those idiots who were deceived by the 'benefits' and 'beautiful scenery' that the other party described?
The goblin secret meeting quickly ended in a fruitless debate.
When those idiots went out to enjoy themselves under the escort of a group of goblin beauties, the few bosses who could truly decide the future of the goblin race gathered together again.
"It's very clear. It's the Musen Merchant Group that's causing trouble …"
"Agreed! However, in my opinion, there are also some goblins in the venture capital company that need to be cleaned up … "
"Mm, let's report this to Lord Gargamel! I'll try my best to obtain the right to act, this way we can minimize the damage to our people! "
