Chapter 923

They were undoubtedly attacked by the natives of the cave.

However, the goblin soldiers have received formal training after all, and they are psychologically prepared.

At this time, one by one, it is not panicking.

The shield in his hand quickly moved forward, and the gap in equipment level can be said to be revealed at this moment.

There was no way that outdated indigenous weapons would pose much of a threat to them.

But the aboriginal offensive is obviously not over yet.

After realizing that the bone spear could not pose a threat to the goblin soldiers, in the darkness, a sound like a fan spinning quickly entered their ears.

At that moment, the squad leader, who seemed to realize something, hurriedly shouted...

"Everyone be careful with the sling!"

Almost in the time they were talking, pieces of flying stones the size of fists smashed towards them.

The blunt strikes of the stone bullets kept hitting the shields of the goblin soldiers in the front row, making a series of muffled sounds.

There is no doubt that stone is the most indispensable resource for goblins living in hilly areas.

Therefore, in the early stage, the sling, which is simple to make and has a very low cost, is the best long-range weapon for goblins, even better than bows and arrows.

The blunt weapon attack of the stone bullet has a special target for defenses such as armor and shields, and the threat level is undoubtedly much greater than the previous bone spear.

The continuous stone bullet attacks made the shield-wielding hand of the goblin soldiers in the front row numb slightly.

For a while, the momentum was also a little subtle.

Originally, the goblin soldiers wanted to capture the other party alive without hurting the aborigines as much as possible, and then escorted them out.

But looking at the current situation, it is obviously unlikely.

"Prepare the crossbowmen to attack!"

The goblin crossbowmen who received the order pulled their crossbow strings one after another, and then quickly loaded their arrows.

"put!"

With a single order, the roaring crossbow arrows shot towards the hole in the ground.

If the opponent's sling can hit them, then they can definitely hit the opponent. This is a very simple truth.

Almost at the same time as the crossbow arrow was fired, there were several sharp screams from the depths of the cave.

The goblin soldiers did not pursue.

They are here to collect the aborigines here, not to kill them.

For them, it is enough to deter the opponent with a round of attacks and let the other party suffer a little.

Then, the captain of the goblin squad shouted loudly...

"The aborigines inside listen, obediently give up resistance..."

However, before the words were finished, the aborigines hiding in the cave had no intention of cooperating.

A riot, after a few more stone bullets flew.

Accompanied by a 'Everyone run! ’

The aboriginal people who had gathered nearby suddenly scattered.

In the face of such a battle, the captain of the goblin squad couldn't help but sighed. Although there were nine out of ten who were from his own clan, he always had the feeling that he was facing a gang of bad guys.

Facing the aborigines fleeing everywhere, the goblin team held torches and continued to move forward unhurriedly.

Not busy chasing, or not needing to pursue at all.

Although there are more than one entrance and exit to this cave, each one is guarded by a large number of human soldiers, and the aborigines have nowhere to escape.

Sure enough, the aborigines who escaped from the exits of the various burrows were soon surrounded by human soldiers guarding outside.

The matter here can be said to end sooner than they expected.

At the same time, at the moment of escaping from the cave, the identities of the aborigines were thoroughly confirmed, and they were indeed goblins.

Indigenous goblins who can't find the direction of development, plus their own strength is so weak, their life is obviously not easy.

In order to make this group of indigenous goblins better cooperate with them in their investigation, Gawain came forward as the 'Goblin King' at the right time and accepted his group of people.

At the same time, ordered people to prepare enough food and distribute it to them.

Probably the identity of the same family played a role, plus they were provided with food.

When facing Gawain again, the native goblins had obviously put down their guard.

Let Gao Wen understand the situation quite smoothly.

Facts have proved that the carriage and belongings of the deceased were taken away by them.

But they don't kill people.

This result did not exceed Gawain's expectations.

A group of native goblins, just relying on some slings and bone spears, want to kill so many human soldiers one after another without knowing it?

Wasn't that kidding him?

So, next is the point.

"So, who killed the people? Since this area is where you live, you should have some clues about this matter, right?"

As Gao Wen asked this question, Guo Zhen, who was standing behind the tent, also perked up his ears.

Of course, he wasn't eavesdropping right now.

According to Gawain's meaning, if Guo Zhen, as an alien, stood in the tent, he would probably make the timid native goblins dare not speak.

So, in order to avoid some troubles, let him stand outside the tent temporarily and listen.

And the indigenous goblin who was asked this question also showed a look of horror on his face.

"Yes, it's a strange bird, a very large and ugly strange bird!"

While speaking, the native goblin stretched out his hands and gestured.

And listening to this, Gao Wen and Guo Zhen frowned in unison.

"Strange bird?"

"Yes, that strange bird only appeared nearby some time ago. Many of our clansmen who went out to look for food died under its claws. It would quickly kill the target it was looking at, and then Rip open the belly of prey and eat their guts..."

Having said that, the native goblin's face has turned pale.

He was obviously terrified of that strange bird.

Gao Wen and Guo Zhen, who obtained the corresponding information from the native goblins, kept checking the previous information in their minds.

Ripping open the stomach and eating the internal organs, this alone almost points to the identity of the murderer.

At the same time, if the murderer was a strange bird that could fly, there would be no trace of the murderer left at the crime scene, and it would make sense that the soldiers on patrol at night would disappear from the world as soon as they turned their heads.

Thinking of this, Gawain comforted the restless native goblin a little, and after ordering someone to take him down to rest, Guo Zhen, who was standing behind the tent, walked in slowly.

"General Guo, if the target is a flying bird of prey, then we'll have to dispatch a long-range unit quickly."

At the same time as the target was confirmed here, a blue-gray figure quickly passed over the construction team camp hundreds of miles away.

That figure has a body that far exceeds that of ordinary birds, with blue-gray feathers, strong claws and a long neck.

And look up along the too long neck.

Immediately after that, an ugly bird head came into view.

Above the bird's head, there is also a red and green flesh crown that looks a bit disgusting.

There is no need to doubt, this is obviously the strange bird that the native goblin was talking about!
