Chapter 497 Goblin Land Corps
Reinforcements for the lumber mill camp arrived by dawn.
Three hundred and seventy-eight goblin warriors sat on tamed mounts known as hawkstriders. They traversed a distance of fifty kilometers at surprising speed and quickly arrived at the lumber mill camp. What came with them was a Goblin Zeppelin, three Goblin Tanks, and twelve Magic Mechas that were larger and more powerful than the goblin shredders.
The goblin zeppelin looked just like a wooden sailboat flying in the blue sky, only with copper plates placed all over the body of the ship itself. The reason the zeppelin could float wasn’t due to some supernatural power. Rather, it was because of a giant leather balloon filled with some mysterious gas.
The goblins had drawn a colorful shark on the floating balloon to make the zeppelin look cooler. They used metal chains to tie the balloon to the ship itself. This way, the goblin zeppelin was able to use the lift from the balloons to fly freely in the sky.
Moreover, apart from transporting things, the blimp also had four or five powerful magic cannons. Consequently, it also possessed air-to-ground offense.
Goblin tanks, on the other hand, were no more than metallic chariots that had been outfitted with magic cannons. The four wide metallic wheels were two meters tall, but the insides of the thick and heavy chariot had limited space. Only three goblins could fit in it at any one time.
A goblin tank captain, a cannoneer, and a watchman.
As the only goblin army in a five hundred kilometer radius, General Bezzek’s status in the Karlmek area was uncontested. Moreover, this Seventh Goblin Land Corps led by General Bezzek had experienced over a hundred battles, culling several slave rebellion armies.
That was why there were several rows of delicate badges of honor on his well-ironed military uniform.
Each of these badges had all been dyed red with the fresh blood of hundreds and thousands of slaves!
Uldum had no choice but to put on an apologetic smile and bow when he heard General Bezzek’s confrontational questioning, “Lord Bezzek, it must be because your army is simply too powerful, causing them to ru… ”
Uldum’s voice stopped before he could finish. His pair of beady green eyes opened wide as he stared into the distance behind Bezzek.
A large could of black smoke rose into the air from the distant horizon. One could vaguely make out the smoldering flames that reached the sky. The place where the black smoke rose from was Beta Town!
“Beta Town. My Beta Town… ” Uldum lamented in agony.
