Chapter 132: Persuasion
For the tribe, even if the Grimm were obedient, they were still goblins. Human-like creatures like these, if female, were alright, but the males were generally sent to be enslaved. In contrast, humans would be eaten, but these enslaved people weren't worried about.
So among the slaves, there were more than two hundred third-generation Green people like Stinky Shoe Sole.
Stinky Shoes had long hated goblins, especially these treacherous ones.
They dared not yell at goblins, but they loved to seek validation from their own kind, bullying them and hating them intensely.
I remember last winter, when Devon's slaves passed through the slave camp, a minor leader, annoyed that he was blocking the way, whipped him on the back a dozen times.
He didn't cry, because he knew that crying would only lead to a worse beating, but he remembered the face of that petty boss.
One of the underlings hurriedly asked Devon, "Boss, what do we do next?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Devon was so anxious he was about to curse.
He never imagined that such a powerful dragon tribe would be defeated like this and flee in disgrace.
"One minute is up," Fanta's voice rang out again.
Then someone shot a rocket into the Tulou, which terrified the traitors inside.
Devon shouted, "Don't panic, it's just a small fire, we'll put it out soon!"
The next second, we heard the sound of a battering ram hitting the gate.
This time, Devon panicked completely.
While the traitors were putting out the fire, the smelly shoe soles slipped into the doorway amidst the chaos, pushed open the door beam, and the door was instantly blown open by the crash vehicle.
Fanta and Frederick charged in first.
"Immediately drop your weapons, cover your heads and squat down; those who surrender will not be killed."
After three warnings, Fanta and Frederick would raise their knives and slash anyone who was carrying a weapon and was not crouching down.
After more than a dozen slaves were hacked to death, they all threw down their weapons, squatted down, and covered their heads.
When Devon and his traitors saw Fanta and Frederick storm in, they wisely dropped their weapons, covered their heads, and squatted down to surrender.
However, Devon took the opportunity to smear his face with black ink and squeeze into the crowd.
The gate opened, and a large number of soldiers rushed in and tied up the people inside.
Fanta walked up to the smelly shoe sole squatting to the side—the latter had fled as a thin figure the moment the door was broken down.
He lifted the smelly shoe sole with one hand and asked, "Kid, did you open the front door just now?"
The smelly shoe sole stuck out its neck, staring at Fanta with a look of resignation: "So what if I opened it? I want those people dead."
Fanta couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reached out and grabbed the mouth of the smelly shoe sole, pried it open, and checked its teeth.
"Grimm".
He tossed it to Leonardo da Vinci, who had arrived a little later: "Let Schumacher arrange it. No, let Schumacher come over and pick out the Green people here. As long as they haven't eaten people, give them a chance."
Leonardo da Vinci curled his lip and carried the smelly shoe sole out of the earthen building with one hand.
Fanta glanced at the prisoners a couple of times while counting them, but the face of Devon, the leader of the traitors, wasn't among them. He frowned slightly but didn't say anything, only whispering to a soldier next to him, "Keep an eye on these prisoners, don't let them slip away in the chaos."
Soon, the remaining prisoners inside the earthen building were all taken away.
Meanwhile, Amy and the others bid farewell and returned to Gorubakburg.
Upon returning to Gorubek Fortress, Gabriel immediately summoned them.
Gabriel leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on his hand, and asked, "Back so soon? Has Ashwood fallen?"
Amy bowed, as she was the oldest and the task of reporting on the work fell to her.
"No, Lord Ron used ballistae to kill the wyverns of the Wyvern Tribe, and Frederick cut off the arm of the Wyvern Tribe Chief Tecott. In this battle, nearly 100,000 goblins were wiped out."
Upon hearing the news that Tecot had lost an arm and that the wyvern had been killed.
Gabriel could no longer remain calm; as for the 100,000 goblin corpses, she had never taken them seriously.
"What? The wyvern has been killed?"
When the Wyvern tribe attacked Gorubak Castle, wyverns were the main force that stormed into the city. Gabriel even fought with the wyverns for a while and knew how troublesome they were.
Amy cautiously replied, "Yes, Ashwood Territory not only has ballistae far more powerful than ours, but they've also invented a cluster ballista that can fire thousands of bolts at once, easily covering an area. Their most terrifying super catapult can launch stones a thousand meters away in one go."
Caroline and Rosalie, standing nearby, looked completely bewildered.
They did see the catapult positions when they arrived, but they didn't see the super catapult.
A range of one kilometer.
The thought of it is chilling.
Rosalie immediately said, "My lord, I would like to go to Ashwood Territory again after some time."
Gabriel agreed without hesitation.
Caroline waved her hand, signaling Amy to step back.
As Amy walked out of the castle, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, considering the conditions Ron had offered, she went home immediately. But her home was quite far from the lord's manor, and she couldn't ride a horse at full speed in the city. By the time she got home, the sun had already set.
The whole family was waiting for Amy to come home for dinner.
Although Amy's house in the East District is a two-story house, it only occupies 50 square meters. The two floors together are less than 100 square meters. Including her, there are seven people living there, which is a bit crowded.
When Albert saw his daughter return, he couldn't help but smile: "Amy, did you encounter any danger on this campaign?"
Amy saw her father and shook her head with a smile.
Marcus quickly took out a slice of dark bread, which was spread with a sour jam that made you shudder.
This is also the only sauce that ordinary families can use.
Amy smiled and shook her head: "There is no danger. The strength of Adler's territory is beyond imagination. Father and elder brother, can you imagine the scene of 100,000 goblins attacking the city? The corpses of the dead goblins could flatten the city walls."
Upon hearing such a horrifying scene, Amy's two nephews gasped in shock.
Albert also showed signs of lingering fear; he hadn't seen such a large-scale battle in many years.
"Father, the lord of Adler wants me to become his follower."
The room fell silent after he said that.
The elder sister-in-law, Thea, was immediately anxious, as she was counting on her younger sister-in-law to sponsor her two sons to become knights.
Marcus, of course, understood his wife's intentions and immediately glared at her: "Shut up!"
Albert sighed softly and asked, "Very well, what conditions did that lord offer you?"
Amy said, "He has a way to help me become an Earth Knight, and he also has a big house of 120 square meters. Once I break through to become an Earth Knight, I will also get 1,000 catties of grain every year."
The eldest sister-in-law, Thea, asked, "No money?"
Amy shook her head awkwardly: "Not at the moment."
The eldest sister-in-law, Thea, said directly, "Then why bother going?"
