Chapter 1037: HobGoblin tribe (2/2)
The whole city was fortified and it is completely giving out a war-like feel.
It is as if they are waiting for some foreign invader to strike at any moment. And the reason behind this made Sam stunned even more.
It turned out that the Hob Goblins are preparing for a human that would bring them a disaster.
The story is that the tribe chief of the Hou Tribe heard from a seer that a human along with his team and some other weird methods would strike their tribe and the only possible way to stand against them is to unite the five tribes and band together.
Hou Yi, the god worshipped by the Hobgoblin tribe was generous in his help when that tribe chief requested him. Hou Yi gave the blueprints for high-level formations, weapons, and artifacts that could help them win the war against the remaining tribes and helped the Hou Tribe unite and the current situation is the final result of the whole scenario.
When Sam heard the story, he has a faint suspicion that the whole incident might be some kind of ploy from Hou Yi. But at the moment, it is not the time for them to ponder about that.
They need to make a decision on how to proceed further in the current situation.
Sam looked through all the notes the teammates made while investigating and sighed.
”It seems like we need to go for a head-on war. I can't see another quick way.”
From the looks of it all the humans are being suspected and they are a team that mostly consisted of humans. Even if they sneak in separately, they would be kept under a tight watch and they would have some trouble doing anything that would raise suspicion which would slow them down. Time is a valuable commodity for them to waste on this tribe.
”So, do you guys have any objections regarding the direct war?”
All of them shook their heads.
So, Sam proceeded to explain the plan.
”Even if this is a head-on war there is no need to reveal ourselves this early. We can just wait for now and prepare for the next two days. I have a bunch of new toys that require some practical testing and this would be a good opportunity.
And the first step in these preparations is that I need an aerial map of the immediate surroundings of the city. Don't stray too far, around a few hundred meters would be sufficient. But within this short-range, we need to be extremely detailed.
Hob goblins might be good at fortification, but expertise happens to be destruction we will see whose expertise prevails this time.
Tamas and Night Ghost are excluded from the aerial mapping, both of you are in charge of dealing with the necromancer ring so make your preparations, any gains you get from that are yours to keep. ”
After that, Sam left the both of them and soared on the harbinger to participate in the aerial mapping with the rest of the team.
As he hovered on the harbinger, there was a faint smile on his face. The Harbinger is currently at Spiritual Infancy and so are the two swords, the reaper, and the executioner. Unlike the feather coat which had longer infancy, Sam is sure that these three wouldn't bother him as much.
He is really looking forward to how they look.
He almost felt like a father waiting for his child to be born.
By the next day, they finished the mapping and Sam started calculating something.
After that was done, he took out some poles and some one-foot-long liquid containers. The metal poles have gaps in their structure to hold the containers in place.
The containers all had brown earth elemental energy liquid.
Sam twisted the cap a bit and pressed on different protrusions before placing it in the pole.
”This is the active state of the pole. Take these and do this properly before stabbing them in the points marked on the map.
There is a button on top of it, do not press it under any costs before getting my instructions.”
