Goblin Lord: Get ready to capture the Saint! - Chapter 176

c176 Section 176

According to common sense, Campos should take the initiative to make suggestions at this time, and find a reasonable excuse to give up the opportunity to fight with the kingdom’s army.

However, think about it the other way around.

This goblin lord does not play by the rules at all.

What if this is another test of the “loyalty” of the shark people?

Gu An’s strange methods really left a serious shadow in Campos’ heart. He had to think twice before saying anything, and was terrified, fearing that he would fall into a big pit and ruin the future of the entire shark people.

[Apostle, the army of the Purple Moon Kingdom has gathered in a big way, and many adventurers have been recruited as temporary advisers. The strength is unprecedentedly strong. ]

[Faced with such a large army, the monsters inside and outside the forest may not be able to fight alone. ]

[My humble opinion is that our monster tribes should take the initiative to lead part of the human army out of the town and take it to a remote place to fight. ]

[Then take advantage of this gap and send your followers to sneak attack and capture the human town. 】

【In this way, if something happens in the rear camp, the morale of the human allied forces will surely collapse, and the monster tribes and your followers, the apostle, will attack from the front and back, and they will surely win the final victory in one fell swoop. 】

After careful consideration, Campos gave the most conservative answer.

Not only will the opportunity to plunder human town resources be reasonably given up, but it also shows the loyalty of the shark people to organize the monster tribes to assist in the war.

Neither of them will be involved.

This proposal is absolutely stupid from a military perspective.

Because it is known that with the powerful weapon Yuanyi, it is completely possible to wipe out the human army without casualties.

The participation of the monster tribes is just to increase the cannon fodder and is a superfluous move.

But from a “political” perspective, Campos’s proposal not only shows the shark people’s willingness to act as a vanguard and organize the tribes to participate in the war, but also reasonably gives up the opportunity to plunder human territory.

Are you laughing at Campos for not understanding military affairs?

Campos is laughing at you for not knowing how to save your life.

Hope is honest, but not a fool, and has a very clear political mindset.

He also understood what Campos meant. After thinking it over, he felt that although this move would sacrifice some monster warriors, it would guarantee the greatest interests of the Apostle, so he echoed: [Apostle, I also think Campos’s proposal is very reasonable. ]

[If you need to notify the monster tribes, you can hand it over to Campos and me. ]

Faced with such a thoughtful “loyal advice”, Gu An was not only not relieved, but shook his head as if he was very regretful.

[Your proposal is indeed good, but there is one thing you may not know. ]

[The chief general of the Mosan domain bought a heavy magic cannon from the dwarves not long ago, which is powerful enough to kill extraordinary monsters. ]

Hope and Campos were both shocked when they heard it.

A magic cannon that can kill extraordinary monsters?

There is such a thing?

Isn’t it over?

Hope stood up excitedly, and the tail behind him swayed uneasily: [Apostle, is this information reliable? ]

Guan nodded solemnly: [This lord once captured Sergeant Jiri, the defender of Ivan Town. ]

[This news came from him, and later after many inquiries from the ghost goblins, it has been confirmed to be completely true. ]

Are there really magic cannons?

Of course!

It’s fake.

Given the degree of corruption among the powerful and noble classes in the Purple Moon Kingdom, how could there be a lord and a general willing to prepare for a rainy day, and go to the dwarves to buy magic cannons at a high price to prepare for the battles that will never be seen in the future?

In this case, why did Guan spread false information?

In fact, it is very simple.

The current situation is full of internal and external troubles. The immortal race and the human allies are all eyeing the goblin territory.

Guan is destined not to stay in the Mosan area for too long, so he must prepare energy and upgrade the territory as soon as possible.

The kingdom army that is coming to attack is an excellent money bag, and we must do our best to fish in the pond.

If we follow Campos and Hope’s proposal and destroy the enemy outside the human town, then the territory will not get any benefits.

Hope and Campos don’t know the existence of the system, so it is understandable that they proposed such a strategy.

Gu An can’t directly refute it, otherwise, even if he can “obtain consent”, it will appear very nonsense and abstract.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the subsequent “weird strategic deployment”, he came up with such an unverifiable excuse as a prelude.

[Is the news true? ]

[This is terrible! ]

[The kingdom army has cannons that can kill extraordinary monsters. Who can stop their attack? ]

[No, we can’t sit and wait for death! ]

[Apostle, I will go back and summon the monsters now. Let’s escape from the Mosan area in advance and go to the territory of the immortal race for refuge. 】

Hope was restless, pacing back and forth in front of the wooden chair. After thinking for a moment, he immediately proposed a strategic retreat.

If it was still calm, then Campos was undoubtedly completely collapsed.

It kicked its legs and fell down, lying stiffly on the chair like a dead fish: [Escape? ]

[How to escape? ]

[The border of Mosan territory is constantly erupting in war. People and monsters from the outside can’t get in, and people and monsters from the inside can’t get out. ]

[Choosing to escape now is tantamount to self-destruction, isn’t it? ]

Campos’s eyes were blank. He didn’t expect that today would be so full of ups and downs. He just got back from the brink of death and found out that he had “survived a disaster” and “there will be a next time”.

His inner collapse at this moment can be imagined.

[Staying here is a dead end. ]

[If we can find a way to escape from the Mosan area, we may be able to send the Apostle to a safe place even if all our tribes are killed. ]

[There is a chance only if we try! ]

[The Apostle is a man of great talent and strategy. As long as he can escape this disaster, he will surely lead the monster tribes to glory in the future and avenge us! ]

Hope stood in front of Campos and angrily stated the pros and cons of the situation.

In a remote corner of the conference hall.

The ghost goblin stayed with the junior goblins, hiding in a place where no one noticed, holding a pen and paper, quietly taking notes of the meeting.

[Brother Ghost, are there such terrible weapons in the human army? 】

The junior goblin asked quietly in a very low voice.

【……】

【……】

【……】

The air fell into a dead silence.

Then after a long while, a very unconfident response came: [Should… have? 】

Chapter 129 Isn’t this our Saint Lady?

Hope and Campos argued fiercely, and neither could convince the other.

The behind-the-scenes promoter Gu An cleared his throat, then coughed twice in a pretentious manner, interrupting the chattering quarrel: [What are you in a hurry for? ]

[This lord hasn’t finished speaking yet. ]

[Although the kingdom army has magic heavy artillery, such a powerful weapon will naturally cost a lot to use. ]

[According to the current intelligence, it is at least the result of injuring 10,000 enemies and 8,000 of its own. ]

[So even if there are heavy weapons in hand, the kingdom army will definitely not use them easily unless it is the most critical moment. ]

[However, the plan to directly attack human towns is definitely not feasible, and a different strategy must be used to deal with it. 】

As soon as Gu An opened his mouth, the scene immediately calmed down.

Hope and Campos listened carefully, and the tense expressions on their faces did not ease at all.

[Lord Apostle, you have made great achievements. You have captured the saint of the elves and are the destined commander of all monsters. 】

[The kingdom army must destroy the entire goblin territory at all costs. 】

[I think it is better to retreat first, otherwise the consequences will still be disastrous. 】

Hope’s expression was solemn, and the reasoning he put forward was also very rational.

Magic heavy artillery is a double-edged sword.

In normal times, the kingdom army would definitely not want to fight to the point of mutual destruction.
