At daybreak, reinforcements from the lumberyard arrived.
378 Goblin Warriors rode on a type of mount called the Chocobo and crossed hundreds of miles at an astonishing speed to reach the lumberyard. Along with them was a Goblin Airship, three Goblin Tanks, and twelve Fel Reavers that were even larger and more powerful than the Logging Robots.
From the outside, the Goblin Airship looked like a wooden sailboat flying in the blue sky. However, the exterior of the airship was covered with bronze panels. The reason the airship was able to float was not because of supernatural powers, but because of a huge leather bag filled with a mysterious gas.
In order to make the Goblin airship look cooler, the Goblins drew a colorful shark on the floating leather bag of the airship. Then, they used alloy chains to tie the leather bag and the airship together. This way, the Goblin Airship could use the huge buoyancy of the leather bag to soar freely in the sky.
Not only could the Goblin Airship be used as a means of transportation, but it was also equipped with four to five powerful Magic Cannons. Thus, it had the ability to attack both air and ground.
As for the Goblin Tanks, they were just metal war chariots with Magic Cannons installed. The four wide metal wheels were more than two meters tall, and the thick and cumbersome war chariot had limited space inside, so it could only fit three Goblins at the same time.
A Goblin Commander, an Artillery Gunner, and an Observer.
Even though it did not carry many people, with its sturdy body and powerful cannons, it was still a terrifying magic machine that no one dared to underestimate.
However, the core of the entire Goblin army were the twelve Fel Reavers.
From the outside, the Fel Reavers looked like metal puppets that were six meters tall. They had a head, torso, and limbs like humans. But unlike the Logging Robots, the Fel Reavers were full-body combat magic machines, and the Goblin Machinist who operated them hid in the thick torso. On the other hand, the Logging Robots were half-body engineering magic machines. In order to allow the Goblins to see their surroundings clearly, they did not have an upper body like the Fel Reavers. Instead, the chest area was a semi-open control platform.
Thus, the Goblins who operated the Logging Robots were vulnerable to long-range attacks from their enemies, but the Fel Reavers did not have such a problem.
The sudden influx of such a large group of Goblins immediately caused a huge commotion in the lumberyard.
Of course, the abnormalities here didn't escape Bliss's detection. Hence, after a quarter of an hour, Bliss led the Scorpion War Beetles back to the vicinity of the Goblin camp and observed the situation from afar.
He didn't have to wait for long. An hour later, a group of Goblins in bright armor boarded the Goblin airship floating in the forest. The silent campsite once again became noisy.
With the Goblin Airship as the center, three Goblin Tanks and twelve Fel Reavers spread out in a straight line, charging into the forest like an unstoppable steel chariot.
While advancing at high speed, the Goblin Tanks continued to fire, spitting out Mana Fireballs from the Mana Cannons. Wherever the Mana Fireball landed, it would cause an earth-shattering explosion, followed by violent flame shockwaves.
Even the tall trees that needed two people to wrap their arms around couldn't withstand the explosion of a magical fireball at close range.
Hence, as the Goblin Tanks continued to fire as they advanced, the forest in front of the Goblin Marines was instantly engulfed in flames, wood splinters flying everywhere. Tall ancient trees creaked in pain as they fell, and then were pushed aside by the logging robots with brute force.
Behind the Goblin Tanks, Logging Robots and Fel Reavers were groups of Goblin Warriors riding on Chocobos. They sat astride the backs of the chocobos, holding goblin muskets in their hands. Once they noticed any unusual movements in the forest, they would immediately unleash a barrage of bullets.
Some of the Pheasants, Leopards and Horned Sheep living in the bushes immediately became the most miserable targets. They were frightened by the deafening Mana Cannons and fled for their lives, but as soon as they left the forest, they were shredded to pieces by metal bullets.
Their flesh and blood soaked the black soil of the forest, but before the blood could seep into the soil, huge metal feet stomped down. When he lifted his feet again, there was a puddle of sticky and disgusting blood paste between his feet and the ground that had been stirred.
What were the Goblins trying to do?
Could it be … Could it be that they were planning to flatten the entire forest?
Blitz's gaze pierced through the sparse trees and landed on the Steel Legion that was advancing in an orderly fashion. They were clearly just a bunch of weak Goblins, but when they hid amongst the tall and sturdy Magical Machinery, their terrifying aura that could kill anyone in their way was a little troublesome for Blitz.
The Goblin Muskets only had a base attack of 30 degrees, which was similar to the attack of a beginner apprentice in the Sorcerer World. The Mana Cannons that were firing wildly had an energy intensity of 70 degrees, which was already at the level of a Quasi-Sorcerer.
Normally, such an attack would not be able to threaten a Worm Shaman like Blitz. But no matter how small the damage, it could not withstand the sheer number of enemies. Once Blitz appeared within the attack range of the Goblin Marines, a concentrated barrage could heavily injure his Undying Worm Body.
The Undying Worm Body did not mean that he was truly immortal. Blitz relied more on the splitting of his Worm Body to disguise the damage he received. Therefore, every time he was injured, a part of his Worm Body would disintegrate and carry away the damage he received.
Since he was chosen as the vanguard of the plane invasion, Master Grimm had rewarded him with a 'Berserk' rune. This could allow his Worm Soldiers to explode with twice their original strength for a short period of time. But during the berserk period, these Worm Soldiers would only attack the enemies around them in a frenzy and would not listen to Blitz's remote commands.
That was something that was rather regrettable!
That was why Blitz's current priority was to hide, investigate, and wait for backup instead of foolishly fighting the natives with his life.
Therefore, when Blitz discovered the Goblins' actions, he could only regretfully lead his Worm Soldiers into the depths of the forest and make a detour towards Beta Town.
On the Goblin Airship that was floating nearly a hundred meters in the air, the Seventh Goblin Marine Regiment's Commander, Barzik, was leading a group of Goblin officers on the side of the ship, constantly scanning the forest with a monocular in his hand.
Beating the grass to startle the snake, using violent and ferocious attacks to turn the forest into a sea of flames, forcing the terrifying otherworld invaders out. Once they were exposed to the Goblin Steel Army, what awaited them would be a torrential storm of magical fireballs.
But it was a pity that no matter how much they tormented the forest, they never found any traces of the Worm Soldiers. Instead, they 'accidentally' injured countless forest beasts.
Even the incomparably ferocious black bears and giant apes would not be able to pass through the dense barrage of bullets.
The reason why the Green-skinned Goblins could become the rulers of the entire plane could be seen from their proficient control of magical machinery and their powerful magical weapons.
When the plane lacked magical elements, and the quantity and quality of magical creatures were not enough to threaten the Goblin Tribe, the Green-skinned Goblins relied on their powerful engineering and alchemy skills to skillfully use various magical machinery to become the owners and rulers of this plane.
In front of them, ordinary creatures that lacked supernatural powers simply did not have the ability to resist them. Be it barbarians, trolls, humans or other intelligent beings, they could only bow before the Goblin Warriors armed with live ammunition, becoming lowly slaves who dug for them and managed the plantations.
As for civilization … In this plane, there was only the Goblin Civilization. As for the other civilizations, they had already been blasted into fragments that could not be pieced together amidst the rumbling explosions of magical fireballs, finally buried in the surging tides of history.
Relying on their powerful magical machinery, the cowardly and foolish Goblins that were once sung of by countless people turned over and became masters, oppressing the other races instead and trampling on them.
Bending over to watch the Goblin Marines charge forward wildly, Commander Barzik's heart filled with indescribable pride and excitement. If not for the fact that he was a hundred meters in the air, he would have pulled out his bronze pistol and fired a few shots at the sky.
But due to the restraint of goblin nobility, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart and frowned at Obeim beside him. "Hey, country bumpkin, where's the invader you spoke of? Are they hiding underground and not daring to come out? But you swore that they were near the camp … and now … where are they? "
As the only Goblin Legion within a thousand miles, Barzik's status as Commander was unrivaled in the Karyek region. Moreover, Commander Barzik had led the Seventh Goblin Marine Regiment through hundreds of battles, annihilating one 'slave rebel army' after another.
That was why there were rows of small and exquisite badges of honor pinned on the chest of his well-ironed uniform.
And each of these badges had been dyed red with the blood of hundreds and thousands of slaves!
Hearing Barzik's impolite question, Obeim could only smile and bow. "Lord Barzik, it must be because the army you lead is too powerful, that's why they fled …"
He hadn't finished speaking when Olbe's voice suddenly stopped. His small eyes that were like mung beans were opened wide as he gazed towards a certain place behind Baazk.
At the end of the horizon, a huge cloud of black smoke was rising, and one could vaguely see flames soaring into the sky. And the place where the black smoke and flames were rising was … Beta Town!
