Chapter 1059 A Goblin’s Ambition
While the three goblins conspired, a loud clattering rang out. Somone was fiercely pounding on the doors to the room.
The three goblins shivered in shock and looked at each other.
Vanessa was the owner of the room. Naturally, this meant that she had the highest authority over the place. She waved her hand; a barrier of light appeared in front of her, projecting the scene occurring beyond the doors.
Vanessa’s red mechanical eye shone brightly when she saw the familiar towering silhouette on the screen, but the light quickly faded away.
The looming figure standing outside the door was none other than Tigule’s Goblin Shredder.
The two goblin machinist-sorcerers looked at each other in fear. They had a feeling that things were slowly going downhill, rapidly heading towards a place where they had no control. They had just been talking about Tigule, and he was already breaking down their doors. Moreover, he was in full combat outfit.
Could it possibly be a coincidence?
As such, the fact that the Goblin Plan had run into Greem and the Crimson Clan could be considered fortunate for them. At the very least, the Crimson Clan had not employed the most barbaric and cruel way possible in taking over the Goblin Plane. They did not enslave all the goblins and reduce them to mere miners.
It was probably the greatest fortune in all of their misfortunes!
However, Vanessa was the princess of the goblins. She could never rid herself of that damned and heavy tag. As the only noble princess of the goblin royalty, Vanessa was constantly dreaming of the glory and brilliance of the Goblin Empire rising by her hands once again.
These wild dreams forced her to push towards that unspeakable ‘Secession Plan’ slowly, one doomed step at a time!
Vanessa had always believed her actions to be successful and covert in the past.
However, when Tigule, who was completely uninvolved in the affair, appeared before her, she had a sudden and shocking realization. None of her actions in the past had ever escaped the grasp of the adepts.
How much did the adepts know? How many core members of the Magic Energy Association had already been exposed? Could the Secession Plan still be carried out?
While Vanessa was caught up in her state of panic and loss, the cockpit of the Goblin Shredder opened up. Tigule jumped out in his tightsuit, grabbed her by the shoulders, and shook her gently, “Wake up, Vanessa. Your plan, your people. Everything is within the grasp of the Crimson Clan. It doesn’t matter how good your intentions are; your reckless actions will never bring about a happy future for the goblin race. You will only be leading even more goblins into the abyss with you. Turn back, Vanessa. As long as you are willing to give up on these delusions, I…I can protect you with my life on the line. I can ensure you stay alive.”
Vanessa might be a lot more petite than Tigule, but her ‘weakness’ was only on the surface. In the end, Vanessa possessed the power of an advanced First Grade mechanical witch. Dealing with the intermediate First Grade Tigule at such a close distance was no problem at all.
Tigule might be able to fight as an advanced Second Grade while hiding inside the Goblin Shredder. However, now that he had emerged from his armor, he was no more than a slightly stronger goblin pilot!
Red light glowed brightly in Vanessa’s strange mechanical eyes.

One of the higher floors of White Tower.
Meryl was seated in her chair in a bright, large arcane hall, silently listening to Vanlier’s report.
Snorlax was rubbing his hands together in the corner of the hall, excitement written all over his face.
“You mean…Tigule led his men into Vanessa’s room, then had them exit the room while he remained inside her room alone?” An intimidating light glowed in Meryl’s red eyes as she asked with a cold and cutting voice.
“Yes!”
“There’s nothing strange in Vanessa’s room, is there?”
“We have been keeping a very close eye on her recently. Even though she has not made any contact with any members of the Magic Energy Association, the Association has become increasingly active.
As such, I suspect that there is some sort of strange device in her room that allows her to maintain contact with the outside world.” Vanlier had become sharper and more capable after all these years serving as Meryl’s aide.
“My lady, if I’m not wrong, Vanessa might be hiding some goblin teleportation devices in her room.”
“Teleportation devices? What are they capable of?” Meryl couldn’t help but frown deeply when she heard the word ‘teleportation.’
“Those devices only work for goblins. They allow them to do short-distance point-to-point teleportation. They cannot teleportat more than fifty kilometers away.”
“Teleporting goblins?” Meryl’s eyes grew wide. She immediately stood up and gave an order, “Go. Immediately detain Vanessa. If she dares resist, then kill her!”
“Yes!”
