This was a classic civil war among the Gnomes!
Due to the limitations of the battlefield, the scale of the civil war was not huge, but the process of the battle was extremely brutal and bloody.
The leaders of both sides were trapped in a metal ore storage warehouse that was less than 700 square meters, and the soldiers on the periphery were still pouring in. The leaders of both sides were trapped in a metal ore storage warehouse with a surface area of less than 700 square meters, and the soldiers on the periphery were still pouring in.
The royal guards protecting the princess were in an awkward position.
In front of them were twenty to thirty Combat Magic Machines fighting to the death, and behind them were the enemy's suicide squad. They were stuck in the middle, unable to advance or retreat. At that moment, they did not know where to run to.
The Gnome Town was the royal family's territory, after all. The number of Gnome troops gathered here was undoubtedly far greater than Gaz Ruvi's private army. But unfortunately, it was because of the obvious advantage in numbers that Princess Vanessa and the military minister let their guard down.
They really couldn't imagine that this arrogant Gaz Ruvi would dare to do such a barbaric thing like kidnapping people in their territory.
When the evil sorcerer was stirring up trouble in the Gnome Plane, the old Gnome not only ignored the princess' olive branch, but also acted as though he was willing to instigate a civil war among the Gnomes to snatch the princess away. This … This brainless action was clearly beyond the scope of a normal Gnome's thinking!
Hence, Princess Vanessa staggered as she retreated with the guards, and muttered in pain, "Mad … Mad … He must be mad …"
Even someone as smart as she could not understand the madness of a dying old Gnome. Especially when this dying old Gnome still saw himself as the future and hope of the Gnome Empire. When he was at the end of his life, how strong was his desire to live!
If the Gnome Empire could not rise under his leadership, then he would rather all the Gnomes perish with him!
The battle was still going on intensely …
As the main attacker, the old Gnome's private army might not be as large as the local garrison, but they were far superior to the royal guards in terms of equipment quality and combat ability. Before they came, the old Gnome's private army seemed to have already decided on their target.
Hence, their target was clear, and the battle layout was reasonable. Almost as soon as the battle started, they used both the ground and the air to control all the strategic locations around the storage warehouse.
Although the Royal Guards in the warehouse were still resisting with all their might, they were clearly at a disadvantage. Under the enemy's encirclement, the number of Royal Guards decreased sharply. Very soon, the original 100 soldiers dropped to a miserable state of less than 10.
As for the troops stationed by the royal family, due to the suddenness of the incident, they were blocked by a team of magic machines and could not get close. So, at the same time, both inside and outside the warehouse, there were Combat Magic Machines and Goblin Warriors fighting together.
Magical Weapons, Alchemy Weapons, and other weapons could be seen everywhere on the battlefield. The intelligent Goblins had modified them into terrifying killing weapons. At every moment, there would be dozens or even hundreds of gnomes falling to the ground in pain, becoming the victims of this chaotic slaughter.
When the last Gnome guard was shot full of holes, only Princess Vanessa and Tichul's magic machine were left in the field. On the other hand, they had to face double digits of Battle Magical Machines and triple digits of Goblin Mercenaries.
Among them, there were as many as three Grade 1 Goblin Mechanics that were on the same level as Tigule, and they were all using Grade 2 Magical Machines.
After going through a series of bloody battles, Tichul's Spider Magic Machine was already riddled with wounds, and its combat capability was greatly reduced.
Only five of the eight legs that were evenly distributed on both sides of its body were left, and more than half of the rapid fire arrays around the spider's body had been destroyed. Even the high-radiation flamethrower on the back of the spider's metal body was nowhere to be seen, leaving only half of its metal base …
If this was all they had to face, then the battlefield before them would not be able to trap the ruthless Tichul. However, Vanessa, who had lost the protection of her guards, was hiding behind him. This also caused Tichul to lose the ability to dodge the attacks of the enemy's magic machines.
Most of the time, he even had to use his metal body to block the stray bullets and 'accidental damage' for Vanessa. Hence, when he faced the encirclement of enemies that were slowly closing in on him, even the invincible Tichul felt a sense of dejection, as if he had the heart to kill the enemy but was powerless to do so.
Kacha, kacha …
When the countless black gun muzzles forced them to the center, Tichul threw away the torn Grade 1 magic machine in his hand, and gave up resisting with a dejected expression.
At such a close distance, there were many enemies. He could no longer protect the princess. If he continued to attack, any stray bullet could cause fatal harm to Princess Vanessa. By then, no matter how many enemies he killed, he would not be able to save the princess' life.
Losing the princess would be an unbearable nightmare for the Goblin Empire!
Hence, the princess had to live!
When Princess Vanessa fell into the old goblin's hands, the battle on the periphery gradually stopped.
All the royal goblin commanders were at a loss. They did not know if they should continue attacking or negotiate with the enemy. Due to the fear of harming the innocent, the royal goblin army did not dare to attack recklessly even when the old goblin brought Princess Vanessa onto the goblin airship. They could only watch as they left the battlefield.
…
The battle that had taken place near the Royal Castle had started and ended abruptly.
If not for Mary's informant among the goblins, the Sorcerers would not have known that the leaders of the two major factions in the Goblin Plane had met in secret.
As the goblins kept a tight lid on the information, Grim and the rest only received the specific information three days after the incident. By then, the old goblin Gaz Ruvi had already returned to Steel City with his' spoils of war '.
That was originally the capital of the Goblin Empire, the territory of the goblin royal family. However, with the rise of the goblins' radical faction, Steel City gradually became a gathering place for all the financial groups and tycoons.
Especially in recent decades, with the advancement of magic energy research, large amounts of wealth and resources quickly gathered in the hands of a venture capital company headed by Gaz Ruvi. Hence, these radical goblins recruited people everywhere and mass-produced magical weapons. Soon, they formed a goblin organization with armed merchants as the main body.
The leaders of these goblin merchants were businessmen, tycoons, and a group of powerful bandits.
Under their pressure, the conservative and traditionalist goblins could only quietly withdraw from the center of power of the Goblin Empire — Steel City.
Now, Steel City had become the base camp of the crazy old goblin Gaz Ruvi!
Grimm's information about the battle between the Goblins' traditionalist faction and the radical faction was very vague and lacking in logic. So much so that Grim still couldn't figure out what the crazy old goblin was thinking.
Wealth and resources? To a native of a small plane, Gaz Ruvi was only one step away from becoming the number one person in the plane. Logically speaking, he should not use such a radical method to provoke the anger of the traditionalist faction!
The only thing that could explain his actions was a rumor circulating in the goblin plane. According to the rumor, the smartest goblin in the world was only thinking about eternal life. And all the crazy things he was doing could be related to a plan called 'eternal life'.
Just as Grimm and the others were gathering in a secluded mountain range, a mysterious guest suddenly came to their camp.
Tigule!
… …
Night fell.
Under the beautiful starry sky was a quiet and serene forest.
Tigule broke into the wizard camp alone and handed Grim a draft cooperation agreement with the goblin royal seal in front of a bright bonfire.
As the leader of the wizards, Grim was naturally the first one to read this strange agreement.
After reading the agreement with a strange expression, Grim shoved the parchment into Alice's hands. Then, he silently observed the exhausted and haggard Goblin War God across the bonfire.
Alice quickly finished reading it and passed it to Mary.
Then, in the shortest time possible, all the wizards around the bonfire read the agreement.
While Grim was seriously looking at Tigule, the goblin war god was also secretly observing every mysterious wizard in the camp.
He had to admit that just based on their appearance, this batch of otherworld Magi was indeed worthy of their name. Mysterious, strange, evil, and unexpectedly powerful.
According to Tigule's understanding, when these wizards first appeared, there was only one, and that was the strange insect witch wrapped in a thick black robe. His power was as strange and powerful as his appearance. Not only could he control terrifying scorpions, he could even transform his body into millions of invisible black beetles.
With this strange and powerful ability, the goblins could not really hurt his body with their weapons. It was said that this terrifying insect witch even survived a bombardment from the giant goblin cannon when he fought against Prince Gaz 'ruvi.
And the next time he appeared, the goblins could not even find any signs of weakness or injury on his body.
An evil wizard that could not be killed no matter what!
This … To Tigule, who knew the power of the giant goblin cannon, this was a terrifying opponent that he did not want to face!
However, such an evil sorcerer was clearly at the edge of this sorcerer's camp. This could be seen from the order in which the agreement was passed around.
