Chapter 167 The Fairy Will Not Forget
The fleeing goblins arrived at the most difficult area of the entire journey.
According to the route planned by Kelin, the goblins need to climb to the halfway point of a snowy mountain, go around to the back of the mountain, and then slowly go down the mountain.
Because only in this way can we avoid the branch cities scattered around Decheng and not be discovered by the mage guards.
The goblins could rely on their willpower to endure the arduous climb and the biting cold, but what made them most uncomfortable was the continuous battle losses.
This is the border between the level 1 monster area and the level 2 monster area.
The fleeing goblins were bloated and moved slowly, making them very easy to be targeted by wild monsters.
Level 2 wild monsters are exactly where ranged troops are most densely populated.
The crossbowmen of the castle, the Magogs of Hell, the Lizardmen of the Fortress (Swamp) forces, and the Lightning Elements (Level 2) of the Elemental forces are all ranged troops.
As long as the 9 major forces are long-range troops, their range is longer than that of the fairies.
Fairies are the floor tiles of ranged troops, the ones that are stepped on the bottom.
Although Qi Ge and Cong Kelin were very careful in planning the route for the goblins, they still encountered three long-range battles.
However, what makes Qi Ge happy is that after going through several battles, the morale of these goblins will not be so easily shaken.
Even if there is a sacrifice, the fairies will no longer show sadness.
Qi Ge saw several times that after the battle, a group of goblins surrounded the bodies of their dead companions. Under the leadership of Cong Kelin, they memorized the names and appearances of these companions one by one.
Qi Ge then realized why almost every fairy would go to Ke Lin to ask for his name when he first joined.
It turns out that he really remembered all the goblins.
As night fell, after a difficult battle, the fairy village was rebuilt.
This time they were unable to find terrain as good as before. There were two passages to defend, and the appearance of level 2 troops also made it more difficult for the goblins to defend the village.
Despite the Seven Pigeons' efforts, the goblins suffered triple-digit casualties.
When the light of Yasha's torch came on, Qi Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, his body was after all just that of an ordinary snow fairy, and he still felt deeply exhausted after the continuous battles.
Pineapple Candy looked at Qi Ge lying on the ground, with his head resting on a stone.
He sat down next to Qi Ge, patted his belly, and said, "Lie down, Qi Ge, lie down on your belly."
Qi Ge followed suit and rested his head on Pineapple Candy's belly.
The stone was too hard, and Qi Ge was not used to sleeping on it.
"Pineapple candy, thank you!"
Pineapple Sugar smiled innocently: "Hehe, Qige is awesome, I'll learn from him."
Qi Ge was woken up not long after he slept.
He turned around and saw that the goblins were carrying the bodies of their dead comrades.
A goblin guard is carrying the body of a snow goblin on his back.
The goblin guard bent over, dragging the body's legs together to prevent the snow goblin's feet from touching the snow.
Hmm? I haven't come into contact with this little goblin guard yet.
In order to avoid waking up Pineapple Sugar, Qi Ge walked carefully to his side and carried a dead giant goblin on his back.
The goblin's body quickly lost temperature in the snow and became stiff.
There were some ice fragments on its body, making its remains particularly heavy.
This is the weight of sacrifice.
"Master Knight! You can take a rest and leave these matters to us."
The little goblin guard heard footsteps beside him , turned around and saw Qi Ge, and hurriedly said.
Qi Ge shook his head.
"Let me do my part for my fallen comrades."
The little goblin guard didn't say anything, and he and Qi Ge silently carried the body to the center of the village.
After a while, the goblin guard began to sob.
“Woo woo woo, my lord, you are so kind!
Whether it is the Great Prophet, the Great Patriarch, or you, you have always been helping us and never gave up on us, the burden.
If you hadn't brought us with you, you would have already reached Utopia."
Qi Ge pretended to be angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be a burden?
We are all sent by the Fairy God to save you. Without you, there is no meaning for our existence.
Whether it's me or Kelin, we are all part of the goblins, and we are comrades who embark on the journey together to reach the utopia.
The same to you!
Don’t say the word “burden” anymore.”
"I understand, Great Knight Qiger."
Perhaps frightened by Qi Ge's angry tone, the little goblin guard stopped talking and continued walking up with his head down in the wind and snow.
The biting cold wind made the goblin guard stagger repeatedly, but even if he fell, he would try to fall forward, using his body to protect the remains of the goblin on his body from touching the snow.
In fact, it doesn't matter if they touch it. The goblins don't have any rules that corpses can't touch the ground.
Qi Ge guessed that the little goblin was using this method to express his respect for his comrades who died in the battle.
Seeing that the little goblin guard didn't say anything, Qi Ge began to reflect.
Did I scare him by overacting?
Qi Ge quickly started to approach her in a gentle tone:
"What's your name? And how did you escape from Decheng?"
"My Lord Knight, my name is Petra!"
!!!
Petra!
Qi Ge looked at the little goblin guard in front of him. The figure of a goblin butler seemed to have traveled through a long time and merged with him.
This is what Petra looked like before! The goblin guards all looked the same, I couldn't recognize them!
Elf Guards are level 1, stage 1 hidden ranged soldiers. If a Micro Elf is upgraded to an Elf, any heroic building with Elf Guards nearby will turn it into an Elf Guard.
“I have been working in a wizard tower since I was born. The owner of that wizard tower—an old wizard—was very kind to us fairies.
The goblins in that wizard's tower can eat their fill once every three days.
But just a while ago, the old wizard suddenly changed. I felt that the look in his eyes when he looked at us was full of greed.
At first, the big goblins in the wizard tower disappeared, and then gradually the big goblin guards also disappeared.
We the goblin guards and the goblins started to feel uneasy.
Later, I found out that the goblin guard who had been on duty with me had never returned since he was summoned by the old wizard.
I realized something was wrong, so I took advantage of the old wizard's absence and persuaded the goblins to escape secretly with me.
Unexpectedly, the old wizard had already instructed the gargoyles not to let us leave his wizard tower.
We tried to force our way in, and the gargoyles attacked us.
In the end, out of a total of 200 goblins, only 13 escaped from the wizard tower, and the rest were captured.
We were very lucky to meet the fairy leader - Lord Duter, the great snow fairy.
He told us about the demons that appeared in Decheng and that the great prophet was summoning the demons to leave Decheng.
He put on the goblin trader robes given to him by the Great Prophet and led us out of the city."
Petra took a breath and choked up and said:
“Later, Lord Duter said he was going back to De City to rescue the goblin in my wizard tower.
I originally wanted to go back and lead the way for him, but I was scared. I was scared of those gargoyles. I was scared of being caught. I was scared of being sold to the demons in Decheng by the old wizard.
So I backed off and didn't ask to go together. Lord Dutt went back to Decheng alone.
As a result, I have not seen Lord Dutt until now .
I kept telling myself that Lord Dutt was fine, but I knew that Dutt must be in great danger.
I have been thinking for a while, if I had been braver at that time, would Lord Duterte not have died. "
Qi Ge opened his mouth and was about to comfort her.
Petra looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks, and he continued:
“The little snow fairy behind me is also the fairy leader, his name is Odell.
On the way to escape, he was always very enthusiastic to help us.
He loves to laugh and always seems happy.
He died because he was not afraid of death and always rushed to the front in every battle.
Lord Qige, they are all great fairies, they are not afraid of death, but they died, and the one who survived is a cowardly burden like me, is this fair? !
This is not fair!"
Seeing Petra hanging her head, sniffling and crying silently, Qi Ge said firmly:
“You think it’s unfair! Then you muster up the courage and join them!
Let them know that the torch will be passed on and there will never be a lack of victims willing to sacrifice for their companions!
Let them know that if one of them falls, there will be thousands and millions of them standing up!
Fear of death is instinctive, there is nothing wrong with it, and there is nothing to argue about it.
But only by overcoming your instincts can you become a hero and find peace of mind.
Hold your head up, Petra. Since Dutt and Odell have sacrificed their lives, you should be more courageous.
Didn’t the great prophet say that when you reach the utopia, all your lost companions will return?
What you need to do is to remember all the companions who sacrificed their lives, and walk to the utopia with your thoughts about them!"
Petra looked at Qi Ge with tears in her eyes and asked, "Sir Great Knight, am I qualified to be a fairy leader?
Can we really reach Utopia?"
Qi Ge looked at Petra deeply and promised solemnly:
"You have! You will! I promise!
In the not too distant future, you will.”
"The fairies are waving their hands, and the snow is beating the frost."
"We stepped on the remains of monsters and arrived at the utopia."
singing?!
Where does the singing come from?
The seven pigeons pricked up their ears.
Fairy prelude? Utopia?
When Qi Ge was doing the fairy candy mission in his previous life, he heard many fairies singing this song. For some reason, fairies from all over the tower can sing this song.
Wait a minute, Qi Ge suddenly realized something was wrong.
Didn’t Kelin say that he made up the Utopia?
Why do all the goblins in this entire tower know this song!
Could it be that the fairy utopia was made up by Kelin?
Bard!
Could it be that Cong Kelin is the goblin bard?
Qi Ge hurriedly took Petra to the center of the village, where the goblins' snow tombs were lined up in a row.
Kelin was standing in the middle of the snowy grave, singing solemnly:
"The fairies are waving their hands, and the snow is beating the frost."
"We stepped on the corpses of monsters and reached the utopia."
"There are mountains of candy there, and there is no bitterness or hardship."
"There are flowers blooming all over the mountains, it's a fairy utopia~"
"The souls of the fallen heroes will shine and guard us.
The fairy's ideal is ahead, I will not lose my way. "
"I will not forget, the goblin will not forget,
Every one of you is in my heart!"
At first, only Colin was singing, then slowly, Fur began to hum along, followed by Jiuge, Petra, and finally all the fairies present began to hum along.
Many goblins were holding wooden sticks and helping Cong Kelin to beat the rhythm.
"I will not forget, the goblin will not forget,
Every one of you is in my heart!"
The goblins' singing became louder and louder, and a force was constantly flowing through them.
That is the power of courage, that is the power of sacrifice.
Qi Ge saw Cong Kelin standing proudly in the wind and snow, and the wind and snow were trembling.
The Seven Pigeons saw the fairies standing proudly on the mountain, and the mountain was amazed.
At this moment, white light emanated from Kelin and the fairies present. This was a sign of advancement!
Unfortunately, in the end, due to lack of energy, the white light became weaker.
But Qi Ge was still excited. He had found it. Although it was only a brief moment, the phantom of Ke Lin's advancement had emerged!
Goblin bard!
System prompt: Trigger the main task: Help the goblins escape from the tower.
The main quest is out!
Qi Ge took a deep breath.
Escape from the tower? Escape from the city is not enough, is it necessary to escape from the tower?
Qi Ge became excited and his eyes became more and more fiery!
Very good! One step closer to success!
——
The county seat of Decheng, Laluo City.
Horrag, the fifth-level Wolf Lancer and leader of the entire Wolf slave-hunting team, was wiping his musket.
"Lord Horrag! Are we closing the net?"
"No, wait a little longer. Those goblins are scattered and can't be found. Let them gather together again."
In Horrag's eyes, he could see the scene in the goblin village clearly.
Gnoll Ranger special, Eye of the Prey.
Plants Eye of the Prey on a target, gaining vision of that target.
As long as the target is within a certain range, the field of vision will not disappear.
Kelin didn't expect this, and Qi Ge was too focused on the goblins, so he didn't expect this either.
Why is it that such a large-scale escape of fairies has no pursuers?
Because the goblins had been marked long ago and never left the hunters' sight.
——
A week passed, and during this week, more and more goblins, led by the goblin pioneers, joined Cong Kelin's team.
They are all fairies from the county towns and acropolis near Decheng.
The Jackal slave-hunting teams have extended their reach to the county towns surrounding Decheng.
Some brave goblin leaders set out from the fleeing goblin group.
With their propaganda, the Great Prophet's reputation became more and more famous among the goblins.
The goblins took a rough map, and under the leadership of the goblin leader, took all their wealth and hopes and went to Cong Kelin.
At this time, the goblin team had expanded to five thousand.
Qi Ge always felt a little uneasy.
Something is not right.
There were too many goblins coming from those branch cities.
When he and Jiuge escaped from the fairy village, almost all the fairies in the village were captured, and only he and Jiuge escaped.
Some of the goblins that have arrived recently even came here in traveling goblin merchant carriages.
This is unreasonable!
