Chapter 24: break free
There were bursts of roars in the forest, and these roars had never stopped half a month ago.
Squeak squeak!
On a dense tree, a few birds sang on it, no matter how loud the annoying roars were, they couldn't completely cover up their crisp calls.
Suddenly, the three-meter-high tree left the ground, and the birds on it fled from the tree and flew into the sky.
An incomparably huge excavator used its 2-meter-wide "hand" to directly dig up the tree by its roots.
With the huge excavator opening the way, countless large machines behind it began to pave the ground, build the roadbed, place the quick-setting cement, drain the ditch, etc. A series of processes were completed in one go.
With the passage of time, nearly 20 engineering teams have entered another world in the future. Each engineering team takes turns on duty, operates various super-large construction machines, and builds day and night.
They were one of the engineering teams responsible for building the road. In about half a day, the road leading to the town was completed.
At the same time, the base is also expanding frantically. Under the construction of 15 military engineering teams, the areas of the tanks, fighters, infantry and other branches of the military have been divided into detail.
It has even begun to consider building a military factory and a smelter. Dongxia Kingdom intends to turn this base into a super war machine that integrates combat production.
Intelligence Department, Chief's Office.
The intelligence director, Dolma Santana, looked at the A4 paper that covered the table, which was all the information collected this month.
Dolma Santana frowned more and more the more she looked at it. She didn't know why there was a sense of something wrong in these seemingly reasonable pieces of information.
"According to interviews with the aborigines in several nearby towns, all of them think that goblins are just weak monsters with the strength and intelligence of five-year-old children. This view is obviously wrong. The level of 10-year-old human male. For this phenomenon, information closure can barely explain.”
"What's even more strange is that these people who think that goblins are just weak monsters, when they encounter goblins, they show great fear, and they don't even resist. It is obvious that an adult holding a wooden stick can hit a Three goblins, an adult can't bear to go down with a stick, but there are always some villages with hundreds of people who are destroyed by dozens of goblins. Not to mention the human beings in this world because of Magical power exists, and physical fitness is generally high."
"What's even weirder is that the number of humans who die every year because of goblins is the most. But in the past 100 years, humans' understanding of goblins has not changed in the slightest. The types, habits, reproduction of goblins The combat information such as methods, traps and ambushes has not been spread at all, and even people will not care if they hear it. This is obviously abnormal. With human wisdom, these information will inevitably be spread to prevent Goblins from attacking their own race. The harm will be further expanded, otherwise how can we survive in this multi-racial chaotic world?"
"This phenomenon does not only exist in humans, but also in other races. Even if many clansmen have become goblin reproduction machines, they still stubbornly believe that this kind of blood-sucking worm parasitic on other races does not need to be removed!"
"And the ruling class, it's even more outrageous. Several lords interviewed felt that the loss of a few villages was not worth sending troops to exterminate the goblins, and sending a few teams of adventurers to send a few waves can always be resolved. But They are also a farming society based on peasant households, don’t they understand how much economic loss it will cause if a few villages are lost? Don’t they understand how many soldiers a village can support a year?”
"Also, the money for hiring adventurers is much less than using the army. These lords are really math geniuses. Isn't the bread and linen that these adventurers eat from childhood to adulthood money? Even if the money is not your lord's, but risk The soldiers are also high-quality soldiers, as long as they are recruited into the army and exercise team awareness, they can pull up an army in a short period of time.”
Dolma Santana leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes, "The aborigines in this world are simply shielded from their IQ by something, or their ideas seem to be forcibly added. "
"Wait....Forcibly added..." This sentence reminded Dolma Santana of a sentence in the information given by His Majesty.
[A long, long time ago, when there were fewer stars than now. The gods who control light, order, and fate play a game with the gods who control darkness, chaos, and chance. In the form of dice, they decide who is the ruler of the world. 】
[The gods kept throwing the dice, until the darkness continued. 】
Remembering this sentence, Dolma Santana stood up abruptly from her chair and murmured, "Impressing thoughts....Gods...Dice rolls...Goblin...Goblin... Lin's **** of perception."
"Hehehe, I seem to have found something interesting."
"The best way to verify the correctness of the guess is to prove it in practice."
......
In the cafeteria No. 3, many soldiers finished their morning exercises and began to enjoy their breakfast here.
"Okbolger, what were you doing just now?" Sylvia put down her chopsticks and looked at Goblin Slayer who had just returned.
"Go and pick up a mission and a letter." Goblin Slayer replied, and then said to everyone who was eating: "I have a mission in the afternoon, go to the Water City and clean up the goblins in the underground ruins there."
"The City of Water, I've been to it before. Because the waterway is very developed, it is a city rich in commodities and ingredients!" Sylvia said.
"Oh?" Dwarf Iron Wine put down the chicken drumstick in his hand, looked at Sylvia and asked, "Really, long ears? The ingredients are very rich."
"Of course," Sylvia nodded, "because waterways connect cities in all directions, you can see ingredients that are not available in many places."
"That's great! I'm going to have a big meal at that time. It just happened that my salary was paid yesterday. Wait a minute, I'll exchange the Xia Yuan in my personal account for silver coins." Dwarf Iron Wine is also very up-to-date with the times. Mobile payment is used, although only some daily necessities and drinks can be bought at the base.
"Indeed, Your Excellency the dwarf is right, wait for the poor monk to go with you." Lizardman Green put a large piece of chocolate into his mouth and sighed, "Because the base is covered with food, the poor monk almost Forget that food costs money."
Just as everyone was happily discussing what to eat, Berna, who had been sitting in the corner silently, said, "Don't be too happy, we are going to perform tasks, not to play. So there is no time. For you to go out to eat, drink and have fun."
When Berna said this, Green, Tiejiu, and Sylvia were instantly flattened, feeling that life had lost hope.
"I'm still looking forward to it."
"Alas, it seems that the food there is no match for me."
"It seems that the poor monk's salary can only be used to buy chocolate."
Seeing the three of them like this, Qili couldn't help comforting and said, "You don't have to be so depressed. If you really want to play, you can use one day of vacation every month to go. I heard that the road will be paved soon, you can rent a car to go out. Of course, if you are going to travel by car, let Miss Berna drive, you absolutely can't!"
When it comes to driving, Qili also thought of three days ago, the whole armored vehicle training ground was hit by them, almost turned it upside down. The instructors changed one after another, and finally Berna learned it.
"Okbolger, who sent this letter?" Sylvia noticed the letter on the table.
"She sent it." Goblin Slayer replied.
"She? Who is she?"
"Hahaha, the one with the long ears is the red-haired girl who lives with Shishenmaru." The dwarf Iron Wine gave the answer.
"Oh! It's the big one there?" Silvia made a stretching gesture at her murderous part (not a typo).
At this time, a soldier in the uniform of the Intelligence Department came to their table and said, "Squad 001, the Minister invited you to come to the Intelligence Department."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the soldier's words.
Ten minutes later, everyone was led by the intelligence department staff to the door of the office of the director of the intelligence department. The soldier reached out and knocked on the door.
dong dong dong!
"The report, someone has brought it here."
A male voice came from inside: "Let them come in."
The intelligence department personnel opened the door and led the crowd inside.
There were three people sitting inside, one Dolma Santana sitting at the desk, and two men sitting on the sofa.
The two men were wearing the uniforms of the staff of the Adventurers Guild. Seeing what they were wearing, Sylvia said, "People from the guild?"
"Goblin Slayer Squad?" The two guild members turned their heads and recognized them at once. A squad of silver-medal adventurers, they themselves still remember. Not to mention the fact that the Goblin Slayer team joined the Eastern Xia Kingdom, which made them famous in the nearby towns.
"Senior Soldier Qili, you can go to the Prime Minister's office to find out the statistics of various ethnic groups." Dolma Santana instructed.
"Yes!" Qili bowed, turned and walked out of the door.
After seeing Qili going out, Dolma Santana said, "Because the senior soldier Qili is a priest of the Mother Earth, I will leave her alone first. It's always right to be cautious."
Seeing the puzzled expressions of the five people, Dolma Santana did not explain, and pointed to the sofa with a slight smile, "You can do it."
"Yes!" The five Goblin Slayers gave a military salute and sat on the sofa with their inner doubts.
With the passage of time, the Goblin Slayers have become accustomed to the status of soldiers, and they have learned to order and prohibit, and are no longer as casual as before.
"Look at this piece of paper for each of you." Dolma Santana asked the personnel of the Intelligence Department to send each person an A4 piece of paper.
Although everyone is very strange, why ask them to look at a piece of paper? But he still took the paper honestly and looked at the contents inside.
This piece of paper is a piece of information, general information about the race of goblins. There are also casualties and property losses that he causes to various places every year.
There is a bold text at the end.
[Why do goblins, a monster that needs to rely on other races to reproduce, can survive so far without being exterminated? Why do goblins cause so much harm to various races, and the whole world still thinks that mere goblins are nothing to be afraid of. 】
[The gods control the thoughts of all beings, and this world is just a game of the gods. 】
"I didn't expect the danger of goblins to be so great." A guild member sighed. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"Yes." A guild member also agreed.
The two of them didn't seem to have seen the last paragraph, they just felt the danger of goblins, and then they were not surprised by this phenomenon.
Seeing the reaction of the two, Dolma Santana smiled slightly: "You two, you can go."
"Oh, then Lord Dolma Santana, goodbye."
The two of them were in charge of the guild to trade magic knowledge today, but they were pulled over by him to do some experiments. Now it's time to return to the guild.
After the two went out, Dolma Santana turned her attention to Team 001.
Of the five at this time, only Goblin Slayer's face was calm, and the other four buried their heads deeply in their chests, making it impossible to see their expressions. And Green, the only lizardman who can see his expression, now has a hideous expression on his face.
Their shoulders began to tremble slightly, and their hands held the paper tightly, and the paper was wrinkled with excessive force.
They feel like they are shaking in the depths of their brains now, something is about to shatter!
Click, click, click!
The soul is constantly struggling! growl! The sound of the fragmentation in the brain is getting louder and louder!
Kacha......bang!
With a loud bang, they felt as if their souls were freed, very relaxed. Then his expression was sluggish, and the whole person became very tired.
After seeing the five people recovering calm, Dolma Santana smiled brighter and said, "Sure enough, my guess is correct. As for why you are the only ones who broke free from the shackles of thinking, it remains to be studied."
Then I saw that Goblin Slayer was a little surprised, but the whole thing was normal. Unlike the other four, there was a clear slump in spirit.
"Aren't people under the control of God?"
