The third batch of reinforcements arrived at the Goblin Plane as the surging spatial ripples slowly disappeared.
This time, there were only two people: Alice and the Berserk Witch Sofia.
Their arrival had obviously increased the strength of Grimm's faction. The number of powerful wizards had increased from five to seven. With Alice's unique "Fate Divination", as long as the enemy did not purposely hide the information, she could obtain more or less clues through her daily divination.
As long as she was around, no matter how big the enemy's movements were, it would be difficult to hide from Grimm's spies and spies.
Because of Alice's importance, she undoubtedly held an extremely important position in Grimm's faction. Under normal circumstances, Grim wouldn't let her take any risks, not to mention going to the battlefield. Therefore, Grim quickly recalled Mary and Blitz and asked Mary to stay by Alice's side.
Just like that, the seven wizards who had come to the Goblin Plane gathered together again and began to discuss the future battle strategy against the Goblin Empire.
Among the seven wizards, Mary and Blitz were more inclined to contact Gaz Ruvi. As long as he was greedy enough, Grimm's faction could definitely make a deal with him by exchanging benefits. As long as it was to its liking, it could betray the Goblin Plane once, so naturally, it could betray it twice.
Sofia, on the other hand, was more inclined to contact the Goblin Princess Vanessa. After all, she represented the true ruler of the Goblin Plane. Although Grimm and the rest had caused chaos in the Goblin Plane, if she raised her arm and called for help, the goblins would still be much more influential than the traitor.
Moreover, from the information he got from the side, he knew that Princess Vanessa had always been known for being kind and loving to her people. If they could use the infected goblins as a bargaining chip to bargain with her, it would be much better than contacting Gaz Ruvi who had ulterior motives.
Mechanical Girl Sabrina and Poison Centipede Endor remained neutral!
Although both sides had different opinions, the strategy they used was similar, which was to rope in one side and attack the other. The most important bargaining chip in their hands was the terrifying plague that had spread to one-third of the Goblin Empire's territory and infected almost 2.6 million goblins.
As long as the voodoo doll was still in Grimm's hands, he could control the lives and deaths of these infected goblins. According to Grim's understanding, the population of the entire Goblin Empire was only about 11 million, and 2.6 million Goblins was equivalent to one-fourth of the total Goblin population.
If such a large number of Goblins perished from the plague, the foundation of the Goblin Empire would be on the verge of collapse.
After all, the development of the Goblin Empire was a little abnormal, focusing on alchemical machinery and magical machinery, and applying them to every corner of daily life. However, the highly developed mechanical civilization was unable to promote the advancement of the medical system. That was why the doctors cultivated by the Goblin Empire were only slightly stronger than the witch doctors of the barbarian tribes. They were unable to reach the level of the goblin engineers and alchemists.
While Grimm and the others were planning their next move in the dark, shocking news came from the Goblin Empire.
Something happened to that Princess Vanessa!
…
This was a Gnome Town located 130 miles northeast of the Royal Castle.
As a satellite town of the Royal Castle, the town only had a population of 300, but there were more than 2,000 technicians and craftsmen from outside. There were also 25 blacksmiths and forges that served as metallurgy facilities.
Every day, large quantities of specialty metal ingots would be delivered to the town via Gnome Merchant Teams or Gnome Airships. They would be smelted at high temperatures according to the requirements of the Royal Castle into metal components to support the forging needs of the royal engineers and alchemists.
That was why the town was covered in black smoke all day long. Crimson molten iron flowed out of the furnaces like a stream, and was then distributed to different forges through countless pipes. The loud sounds of metal rolling, the sizzling sounds of molds rapidly cooling, and the ear-piercing sounds of the Gnome lathes grinding metal components …
The entire town was like a huge factory. Any outsider who came here for the first time would be annoyed by the sharp metal noises, and would want to cover their ears.
But at that moment, in a large storage warehouse at the edge of the town, two groups of Gnomes were in a fierce confrontation. The atmosphere was unusually tense.
In the warehouse, there were more than ten Combat Magic Machines lined up on the right side. The front of their metal bodies were branded with the emblem of the Gnome Royal Family, obviously belonging to the Royal Magic Guards. Beside them, there were close to a hundred Gnome Warriors in the Royal Battle Uniform. They held Arcanite Rifles in their hands and occupied most of the high vantage points in the warehouse. The black muzzles of the rifles were firmly aimed at the 'enemies' opposite them.
The Royal Magic Guards were also facing a group of Gnomes.
Although their clothes were a little messy, they were as elite and fierce as ever. On their chests, there was an image of a Gnome with a monocle.
As outsiders, there were not many Gnomes, only about twenty of them. But the four Combat Magic Machines at the front had a brilliant Magical Light flowing on their metal shells. It was obvious that they were Grade 2 Magic Machines forged with high-grade alloys.
In comparison, among the thirteen Magic Machines of the Royal Magic Guards, there were only two Grade 2 Magic Machines.
Such a huge difference in strength undoubtedly caused the Mech Mechanics of the Royal Magic Guards to have a serious expression on their faces. The haze in their hearts was hard to dispel.
After this period of testing, there was no doubt that the strength of the Grade 2 Magic Machines was stronger than the Grade 1 Magic Machines.
Under normal circumstances, a Grade 2 Magic Machine could only fight against three to four Grade 1 Magic Machines. But once the Grade 2 Magic Machines formed a small team, two Grade 2 Magic Machines could easily take out a double digit number of Grade 1 Magic Machines.
Therefore, in the situation on the battlefield, the Royal Magic Guards had the advantage in numbers. But if they were to really fight, the four Grade 2 Magic Machines on the opposite side could easily flatten the two Magic Machines and the remaining eleven Grade 1 Magic Machines.
As for the Royal Goblin Guards, in this kind of battlefield, they could only play a supporting role and restrain the enemy. Facing a Combat Magic Machine that was on a rampage, the combat strength they could unleash was not optimistic.
At the back of the storage warehouse, an ordinary Alchemy Carriage stopped. A petite and graceful Goblin girl with a blurry veil on her head alighted from it.
Waiting respectfully in front of the carriage was Tigole, who was riding a Grade 2 Spider Magic Machine.
"Princess, are you sure you want to go in?" Tigole's voice sounded muffled when it came from the vent of the Magic Machine. "You have to know that if the negotiation fails, that bastard will definitely turn hostile and attack …"
"Teacher Tigole, I insist on this!" The Goblin girl under the veil was Vanessa in disguise. At this moment, her face was filled with anxiety, worry, anger, and frustration. But when she walked through the back door of the warehouse with her chest puffed out, all her worries and anxiety were swept away. She turned back into the confident and energetic Goblin Princess … Vanessa!
Tigule sighed inwardly. He controlled his spider machine to slowly follow behind her.
As if sensing Vanessa's arrival, a tall and fearsome Magic Machine appeared behind the Goblin on the other side. Its appearance was similar to a Fel Reaver, but its metal shell was shockingly thick. It was obviously a defensive-type Fel Reaver.
As for the special alloys and rare resources used to create this Magic Machine, it had reached a shocking level. Judging from the extravagant usage of the materials, it was more than enough to create three Grade 2 Magic Machines!
"Vanessa … Beautiful Princess Vanessa, since you have the honor to meet me, why don't you take off your veil and let me see your beautiful and enchanting face …" The hoarse voice of an old Goblin came from the Giant Magic Machine.
"How dare you!" Tigule roared angrily. The spider-shaped magic machine moved its eight metal legs and blocked in front of the giant magic machine. "Gaz 'ruvi, although you are a prince, you can't be so rude in front of the princess!"
"Hehehe …" The old Goblin in the Giant Magic Machine could not help but laugh maniacally. "Tigole, you are just a toothless old dog in front of the royal family. Master hasn't even said anything, and you're already barking. Aren't you worried that you'll spoil your master's plans? "
Tigole was enraged, and was about to attack the enemy without a care. At this moment, Princess Vanessa, who was wearing a veil, had already walked behind him. She gently lifted her hand to remove her veil, and softly said, "Teacher Tigole, please bear with it for a while. Let me have a word with Gaz Ruvi!"
Vanessa's sweet and alluring voice was like a refreshing spring flowing in a dry desert. It immediately cooled down the atmosphere of the fierce and dangerous confrontation.
Even though he was unwilling, Tigule still suppressed his anger. The spider magic machinery moved to the side, revealing Vanessa behind him.
"I'm already here! What about you? "Vanessa stared at the Giant Magic Machine with a determined gaze.
After seemingly hesitating for a moment, the rows of exhaust pipes on the back of the Giant Magic Machine emitted hot air. The metal plates at the front of the Magic Machine opened up layer by layer. Only after seven layers were opened did the figure of the old Goblin Gaz 'ruvi appear.
Compared to before, the old Goblin Gaz Ruvi seemed to have aged a little more.
Its green skin was full of terrible age spots, and the dark purple spots almost covered its original green goblin skin color. His skin was wrinkled like the bark of a tree. At a glance, there was almost no luster on the surface of his skin.
With the lifespan of an ordinary Goblin of 60 to 80 years, Gaz Ruvi, who was 96 years old, could be said to be the oldest among the Goblins. Unlike Tigole, who had a longer lifespan after advancing, Gaz Ruvi was still an ordinary Goblin. Therefore, his life should have ended a decade or two ago.
But with the authority and resources he had, this greatest engineer and inventor in the Goblin Dimension had obviously used some methods to extend his life.
