Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 30:

Goblin is a very evil and dangerous creature. This kind of monster that is almost at the entry level is not strong, but if it is threatening and destructive, it is firmly among the top few monsters.

The key to the problem lies in its strong fertility and amazing adaptability. There is almost no place in the world where they cannot thrive, and even the ash forest filled with negative energy, as long as it is slightly closer to the edge, you can see their traces.

And their fertility is even more terrifying. Goblins can conceive all year round. They can give birth in about one month after pregnancy, and they can give birth to about four to six babies. Goblin babies can eat all kinds of things normally after they are born. If there is enough food, they can grow up in about three months-in other words, this thing can grow a real "generation" in four months. Years are enough to breed for three generations. Among the monsters, apart from slimes, there is almost nothing that reproduces faster than them.

The most amazing thing is that if there is enough food, the so-called "brood mother" will also appear among the goblins, which is a kind of weird female with all abilities degenerated except for fertility. The "brood mothers" can reproduce parthenogenously, and they can give birth to a batch in about 20 days. Then, as long as it rests for four or five days, it can regenerate the next batch, which is almost like a queen. The little goblin it gave birth will be stronger than ordinary goblin, grow faster, and naturally more dangerous.

Some scholars have studied that if adequate food is provided, a pair of goblins can multiply to more than 200 in a year, which is simply frantic. What's even more frantic is that starting from the second year, there will be brood mothers in their populations, and the reproduction rate will rise linearly.

So many adventurers think that the earth spirits are like weeds, and they can't kill them. On the contrary, there are often new and inexperienced adventurers who are besieged by a large group of goblins and lose their lives in vain.

The reason why Baron Dahl set the first target of this winter raid as the goblin tribe is their ability to reproduce. If these guys get the news and run away and hide in the forest, maybe by next winter, Darling will no longer face a goblin tribe, but an alliance of several goblin tribes united.

Of course, the accounts can’t be calculated like that. Goblins are not powerful monsters, and things like "sufficient food" are actually impossible for them. Moreover, they are keen on internal fighting, and once the ethnic group expands slightly, it is easy to fall apart-and then they will become food for other monsters.

So for so many years, goblin tribes can be seen everywhere, but goblin tribe alliances rarely appear. The legendary "Goblin Khan" that can integrate several goblin alliances and finally build the embryonic form of the country is still just a legend.

It's like a rabbit. If you say that the fertility of rabbits is much stronger than that of goblins, who is afraid of rabbits in groups?

After a wave of arrows, the goblin tribe panicked, and the heavily armed soldiers had chanted various slogans and held weapons to kill.

Most of them use long weapons, long spears, forks and long knives...Anyway, they all have long handles. This type of weapon can effectively maintain a distance and maximize their equipment advantages.

These professional soldiers are physically strong. They wear heavy armor. The weapons of the goblins can hardly hurt them, but the weapons in their hands are always able to seriously damage those goblins. As soon as the two sides fought, the goblins fell down several times, and the number of injuries exceeded twenty.

Not only that, but not far behind these soldiers, the archers are pouring arrows frantically. These skilled archers use crossbows of different lengths, and almost three to four arrows can hit an enemy. From time to time, I saw goblins suddenly hit an arrow, many of them were shot directly and fell on the spot.

This good start made Baron Dahl very satisfied, and then he saw a more satisfying scene.

The twelve priests of the Masked Void Church, led by the priests, formed an arrow-shaped phalanx and smashed into the goblin tribe.

The one who serves as the arrow is naturally the paladin who is as strong as a bear. He wielded a big sword in both hands, like an axe, and chopped down each goblin to the ground. Even those goblin warriors who wear simple leather armor and are stronger than ordinary goblins are like wooden stakes in front of him, without the strength to fight back.

Although the other paladins following him are not as mighty as him, they are not bad in strength. They brandished various weapons and knocked down the goblins one after another. Unlike those professional soldiers, their combat experience is much richer and their strength is much stronger. Even if the goblins defeated by them don't die on the spot, they completely lose the power to fight again.

At the same time, two mid-level rangers start archery from time to time. Their target is those goblin archers who are also holding bows and arrows, or goblin hunters who are holding short spears ready to throw.

Their archery skills are much better than those of Baron Dahl's archers, and their bows are more powerful. In particular, they have all been cast by the priest with auxiliary spells, making their arrows sharper and more powerful.

So every time they shoot their bows and arrows, there must be a goblin archer or goblin hunter to fall, and the arrows are all fired.

In a short while, the group of people killed the two adjacent tents not far from the center of the goblin tribe.

At this time, the leaders of the goblin tribe, chiefs and shamans, finally appeared.

The Goblin Chief is a guy who is not as strong as a goblin~IndoMTL.com~ It is even taller than ordinary people, covered in thick leather, holding a huge wooden stick, and looks very vicious.

As soon as it jumped out of the tent, it let out an angry roar. Hearing its roar, the panicked goblins quickly recovered their morale, and gathered towards it in a mess, as if to form a battlefield.

As for the goblin shaman, the guy hiding in the corner is old and skinny, looking malnourished. There are many bone ornaments on its body, especially the staff in its hand, which is even more creepy-it uses a long leg bone to connect a skull that is about human, and the leg bones and skull are still There were faint blood stains, and I didn't know what evil and terrifying methods were used to produce them.

It didn't make a sound, it just touched the staff and looked at everyone gloomily. But as long as it was swept by its gaze, no matter how strong the soldier was, he couldn't help shivering, and his combat movements slowed down.

Faced with these two dangerous enemies, the priests temporarily stopped and prepared for a battle.
