The outcome of the interrogation was so absurd that Grim didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "runes are the source of wizard power". The foundation of knowledge that could push wizards to the pinnacle of power had unparalleled value and significance to other planes.
For example, the goblin plane had gone through hundreds and thousands of years of nurturing and accumulation of primitive power such as atomic weapons, steam power, and other things. Only then did it form a unique system of civilization — a mechanical civilization. They had dug out the limits of their mechanical power and were in an awkward situation where they had nowhere else to go.
Although they managed to dig out the energy of magic stones later on, allowing the goblin empire to embark on the path of developing magic machinery, the goblin plane lacked magic stones. However, the Goblins lacked Magic Stones in the Plane of Existence, which tied their hands and feet, making it difficult for them to experience explosive growth and leap forward.
However, the beginner runes of the Sorcerer World that Gaz Lurvi "accidentally" obtained had obviously changed the fate of the goblin plane!
Gaz Lurvi was indeed a great "inventor". Just by modifying witchcraft runes, he actually "created" goblin runes that were suitable for magic machinery in the low-magic goblin plane. The combination of goblin runes and magic machinery made the goblin empire even more powerful.
From a certain point of view, this' tiger 'was raised by Grimm one bite at a time.
This was what Grim was most vexed about!
However, the most vexed person in the underground cave was not Grim, but the insect lich Bliss who had just welcomed a new batch of war bugs.
The black swarm of war bugs filled half of the cave. This scene should have made Bliss ecstatic. However, his face was ashen and he was furious.
It was for no other reason than the newly hatched war bugs.
He had captured so many captives in one go and used their blood to irrigate the bug nest, but all that crawled out of the nest were spike scorpion larvae. The reason was that the energy contained in the flesh and blood of these prey was too thin. It was so thin that it was not enough for the spike scorpion larvae to evolve into adult ones.
Bliss had no choice but to accept the cruel reality in front of him.
In the upcoming Planar War, he would still only have 15 spike scorpion warriors to use. The rest would only be cannon fodder.
It was unwise for them to face a native army that had gathered the elites of the plane with their current strength.
… …
However, just as Grimm and the other two were quietly resting and waiting for the Plane Suppression to gradually ease, a mysterious force beyond their imagination was slowly approaching the lumberyard camp.
The new enemy came from the sky.
A terrifyingly huge airship that was more than ten times larger than the goblin airship slowly stopped in the sky. The huge body of the airship cast a huge shadow on the ground.
Then, a dozen black dots that were visible to the naked eye jumped off the airship and rapidly expanded in their field of vision.
At a low altitude of less than twenty meters from the ground, more than ten black dots suddenly spewed out orange flames, and then their falling speed abruptly slowed down. Finally, with a series of dull thuds, thirteen peculiar magical machines that were four meters tall but a few times smaller than the Fel Reaver descended from the sky and landed steadily on the empty ground.
Even with the recoil of the flames, these magic machines still left large craters that were half a meter deep on the ground. Then, amidst a series of metallic screeches, beast-shaped Magical Machines of various shapes and sizes appeared in the field.
Wolf, bear, octopus, ape, pterosaur, giant …
The thirteen strange magic machines had thirteen different shapes. Not only did they cover the sea, land, and air, even some of the rarer species could be seen.
Most of these magic machines were three to five meters tall, and were not as heavy and clumsy as the Fel Reaver. When they gathered in front of a three-meter-tall Metal Goblin with strange footsteps, their movements gave off a lithe and nimble feeling.
* Crack crack … *
With a strange crisp sound, the black wolf-like magic machine suddenly opened its mouth, and a small console slid out from within. Sitting on it was a goblin wearing a strange uniform.
"Boss, it's here! According to the report from the local garrison, the area where the invaders are active is here! "
"Yes, Boss, should we split up or gather together?" This time, it was a female goblin that spoke. She came out from a bear-shaped magic machine. In terms of weight, this bear-shaped magic machine was undoubtedly the heaviest and had the highest defense among all the magic machines.
In fact, from a goblin's aesthetic point of view, this female goblin's face was huge, her skin was green and smooth, and her body was petite and graceful. She was a rare goblin 'beauty' in the Goblin Empire. Unfortunately, in the eyes of other races, the female goblin was as ugly as the male goblins with the same short stature, green skin, and green fur all over her body.
With these two guys taking the lead, the rest of the magic machines immediately opened their cabins, revealing the goblin warriors hiding inside. They gathered together and chattered among themselves.
"Shut up, all of you …" The metal goblin's chest opened up, revealing a short and strong goblin warrior.
Compared to the other Goblin Warriors, this guy, whom they called 'Leader', had a powerful aura around him. He seemed to be a Special Profession that had advanced.
If one were to use the Sorcerer World's power system to measure it, among the 13 magic armor machinists present, only this guy had the power of a Sorcerer. The rest were mostly quasi-Wizards, and one or two of them had the power of high-level apprentices.
This was actually one of the notable characteristics of the Goblin Plane!
The goblins here were not very strong, and most of the time, they were very weak. After all, the goblin race mainly consisted of Engineers, Mechanics, and Alchemists. It was already unimaginable for them to be able to increase their physical attributes to the level of a Sorcerer in such a low-magic world!
Therefore, the strength of the goblins was mostly due to the power of the magic machines. They were basically weak themselves.
It could also be said that if it weren't for the sake of better controlling the magical equipment and withstanding the shockwaves and pressure from the powerful magical equipment in battle, these elite Goblin Warriors wouldn't have been so determined to train their bodies crazily. After all, when the magic machines moved at high speeds, ordinary goblins would not be able to withstand the super overload and would die directly.
The leader of the metal goblins said coldly, "Don't be too arrogant. This time, the invading creatures from another world are famous evil Sorcerers in the multiverse. Since Lord Gazlurve sent us here, it's for us to successfully capture those evil Sorcerers, not for you guys to come here for a holiday. So … all of you, keep your spirits up! If we capture those Sorcerers, I'll invite you guys to Vini Beach for a month … "
"Wow, Boss, you're so great …"
"Long live Tigule …"
"Boss, we'll all listen to you …"
Hearing the promise of the goblin Mechanic leader Tigule, the Magic Machine Legion immediately burst into loud cheers. The goblin Mechanics danced excitedly as if victory was within their grasp.
After a series of clanking sounds, all the goblin Mechanics retreated into their magic machines and controlled them to carefully search the lumberyard camp.
After being ravaged several times, the lumberyard's campsite had long since become unrecognizable. It was a scene of devastation.
The logs that were originally piled up in piles were now scattered everywhere. The original dozen or so wooden houses and workshops in the camp had also collapsed and could no longer be used.
However, what puzzled the goblins was that although most of the buildings and items in the camp had been severely damaged, they did not disappear. Only the goblins and foreign slaves stationed in the camp were missing, as if they had been taken away by the enemy as spoils of war.
Of course, the magic batteries that were stored in every camp had also gone missing.
The octopus-like magic machine in the Magic Machine Legion clearly had a talent in tracking. The dozen or so metal tentacles under its huge metal head stepped on the ground and followed the vague traces left by the enemy into the forest.
The rest of the magic machines immediately followed behind the octopus-like magic machine and searched the depths of the forest in a fan shape.
…
In the sky.
The moment the Magic Machine Legion went deep into the forest, in a secret room inside the giant floating ship, an old goblin wearing a luxurious noble robe was crouching in front of a concave lens, squinting his eyes as he carefully monitored everything that was happening on the ground.
As he gently rotated the rotors, the rotating mirror constantly adjusted its angle, always aiming at the Magic Machine Legion.
Under his command, the giant floating ship slowly advanced into the depths of the forest under the drive of a mysterious force.
"Prince Gaz Lurvi, do you think … should we put the rest of the mecha squads down as well?" On the metal control panel in front of the old goblin, Captain Torte's voice suddenly came from a loudspeaker.
"There's no need!" The old goblin sneered and said coldly, "The first batch of wizards sent by the enemy can't be too strong. We must lure them out of their hiding place as soon as possible. If we send too many magic machines, they will be scared away … This time, no matter what, we must capture them alive … I must obtain the knowledge in their minds … "
After saying that, he coughed violently and panted.
It could be seen that this Gaz Lurvi, who had dealt with Kabi many times, had become very weak, as if he had entered the declining period of the goblin race.
"Understood!" In the loudspeaker, Torte's voice sounded again, "Don't worry, Prince. We will definitely complete the mission! Everything for the Empire! "
Towards the end, the Gnome Captain's tone was filled with fervor and excitement.
"The Empire? Hehehe … "After turning off the communication, Gaz Lurvi could not help but sneer," I'm doing this for the immortality spell in their minds! Those idiots in the Empire only know how to stick to the old traditions, guarding a narrow world to rule! Hmph, all of them added up is not as valuable as my life … Kabi, little fool, do you really think I don't know what you've done in secret? Hehehe … I hope that your master is among the wizards who have traveled here this time. This way, you will know that the great Gaz Lurvi is the smartest goblin in the world … "
