《blood tax》third chapter The first task
Advertisement
Is fighting in peaceful areas so casual? Griffith sat back in his chair and ate the rest of the food quickly.
The waitress gave the adventure team a simple certificate, watched them go out of the pub, then turned around and looked at Griffith: "Are you going to help them? Manisa village's help came in a hurry, and they seemed to be the only team to receive the task. I heard that Goblin is weak. Although I have never seen it, they should be able to solve it smoothly. "
"The strength of the individual does not determine the victory of the battle," Griffith shook his head. "Wisdom and organization are."
"Oh ~" the waitress echoed with a long tone.
Goblin, it's a rare monster. Griffith chewed the hard bread and thought. There are so many demons and alien creatures on the battlefield of the eastern front, but I haven't seen Goblin.
Izmir is located in the center of the waterway, and nearby demons have been eliminated for decades. How did the community of Goblin penetrate into the core area of human territory?
When Griffith almost ate up his food and worked out his plan, several well-dressed gentlemen just stepped down from the second floor of the pub. The person in front looked at the waitress who got up in a hurry, and then cast his eyes on Griffith.
"Are you a knight of Wang Guojun?"
"Griffith Brandon, a trainee knight under Earl larmor, the second son of Brandon Border Knight and the second captain," Griffith saluted several gentlemen and introduced his full title earnestly. "I served in the Eastern Legion not long ago and was ordered to go to the capital."
The gentlemen who came down from the second floor of the pub looked quite good, and their neat coats were cut to fit them well. Among them, there are two middle-aged men who are behind, respectively, wearing long swords or holding pens and abacus for calculation.
The first gentleman is wearing a dark blue ribbon and should be the winner of a medal. His tall figure is slightly fat, and a hint of anxiety and irritability lingers in his eyes.
"Second-class captain?" A big man among several people looked at him doubtfully. The accountant-like man leaned in and said, "Are the ranks of the Guards and the assault cavalry equal to those of the National Guard Sergeant?"

"Yes, sir."
"Is there a war horse?" A gentleman asked.
"Not now."
"Well," the leading gentleman nodded with satisfaction, turned and whispered a few words to several other gentlemen, then turned back and said, "trainee knight, I am the mayor of Izmir. Manisa village, 30 miles away from the town, reported that they had been harassed by demons, and we were about to send the town militia to support them. But. After all, boys are not soldiers,I'm worried that they were inexperienced when they first joined the battle, and they won't arrive until the next day. Apprentice, please go ahead and help the village. As long as you hold out till tomorrow morning, you will be fine. "
Griffith seemed to hear the tinkling of silver coins, but he still asked with doubts: "Mayor, I think you know that I am not under the command of the local civil affairs system. Besides, aren't there many young and brave adventurers here? "
The group of young swordsmen and his companions, who seem to be on an outing, have set out towards the north gate of the town with simple fittings.
The mayor obviously bit his lower lip: "That's Goblin. Although it has not been so active for more than ten years, I have seen their atrocities with my own eyes. How can children with no hair grow up be their opponents? They."
You reacted violently. Is there a shadow left by Goblin? Griffith nodded slightly.
Halfway through the mayor's words, he stopped. He found that the trainee knight in front of him raised his right hand and rubbed his three fingers slightly. The part of the black metal hand guard finger gently impacts, making a crisp sound.
Pay, local gentlemen, let's talk about pay.
Several gentlemen in the town looked at each other, and one of them came up with a thick notebook and handed the mayor a bulging bag.
"This is the reward paid to adventurers. Every brave volunteer who has been approved to support Manisa village will be rewarded with two silver lang, and each head can be rewarded with another silver lang, and the heads who bring back the Goblin leader or other demon superior species will have extra reward." The mayor took out two silver coins and handed them over.
Griffith looked down and shook his head.
"Ten silver lang advance payment," said the trainee knight, shaking his hand. "You don't think that five armed villagers can compete with a cavalry on foot, do you?"

"Why don't you grab it?" The gentleman with the notebook and purse shouted, "Ten silver coins will last me a week!"
"After leaving the front line, I don't have the usual weapons and armor," Griffith said seriously. "Ten silver coins are not enough for me to purchase sufficient equipment, and I have to pay for myself. Gentlemen, I won't go without enough supplies. Gentlemen, don't you think I can't get rid of eight goblins with all my weapons? "
The civil servants in the town finally agreed to the fair price of the trainee knight. Griffith, who received the money, didn't set out immediately. Instead, he went to the weapons store in the town to buy a crude two-meter spear, a hatchet and three daggers, and then went to the pub to buy a package of dried meat and black bread.This humble equipment and food cost him a whole gold and Frohring, not only used up the advance payment, but also spent a lot of his savings.
Now, he wears a double-layer armor of mail and leather armor, black iron armguard and shin armor on his hands and feet, an iron helmet on his head, a long sword, an axe, five daggers and an inferior spear.
Without iron shield, breastplate and war horse, the center of gravity of the spear is also very problematic. Griffith weighed his own state, and probably could only play one third of his usual combat effectiveness.
According to the known information, there are two Goblins near Manisa village, which are the Goblin lair hidden in the mountains and the Goblin troops about to attack the village. In recent days, this gang of Goblins has repeatedly attacked villages and captured some villagers, cattle and sheep.
The militiamen in the village found that there were more and more traces of Goblin gathered in the nearby forest, and some human remains were found on the edge of the forest land. They rushed to the town last night to ask for help.
In addition, the town and the village don't know anything, even how many Goblins there are, how the equipment is, and what kinds are there. They just clearly feel the imminent threat.
Little information about Goblin comes from the mayor. He said that this kind of biological force is slightly weaker than that of human teenagers, it is very agile, has good night vision, moves freely in the dark, and its mobility will be severely weakened in the sunlight.
Griffith's friendly forces include villagers in the village, adventurers and armed people rushing to support in the town. The militia in the town is mobilizing and arming, and it will not reach Manisa village until the next day at the earliest.
The adventurer's team of four people I just saw received the task of clearing Goblin, but they may not go to Manisa village for support, but directly raid the nest.
Some stolen property may be hidden in the demon's lair, which is faster than killing Goblin. If you are lucky enough to save some villagers who are still alive, their families will also pay considerable compensation.
The benefits of going deep into the nest are much greater than those of fighting in Goblin, but once you are surrounded by monsters ten times your own in a narrow and unfamiliar place, isn't that mortal?
Is this adventurer team ignorant of Goblin or is Goblin really too weak? Four people dare to go to the mountains. Griffith thinks he can't understand the idea of a peaceful world at all.
But then again, Griffith himself has no idea about Goblin. In the two years of fighting in the East, he faced horrible mythical creatures, powerful and dull mountain monsters, fierce and mighty orcs, cunning and cruel trolls and barbarians, and the weakest one was a small but bloodthirsty orc subspecies-orcs.Small creatures like Goblin rarely appear on the battlefield. There is hardly any room for them to live there.
However, this does not mean that Griffith will relax his vigilance. Body shape and individual attack power do not determine the outcome of the battle.
It's not noon yet. If you hurry, Griffith can reach Manisa village before sunset. He can also choose to work with the slow militia, but in that case, he probably needs to spend the night in the wild.
Camping at night with friends of irregular forces with dubious combat effectiveness, and possibly facing enemies who can fight at night, this option sounds very bad.
After considering the limited information, Griffith immediately set foot on the road to Manisa village.

Return of Chaos
For the longest time, it was thought that the citizens of Earth were the only denizens of the galaxy incapable of developing superhuman abilities — but recent events have flipped that assumption on its head. Between Austin Travis, Mote Emerson, Pierce Bradley, and their friends, Earth is now host to 12 Chaotics… as well as a myriad of mysteries surrounding them. From a new nemesis in the form of a clone, to connections to ancient technology from a long-lost civilization, to the ability to summon powerful legendary weapons, these 12 Chaotics have unknowingly become entangled in something larger than any of them have ever imagined. As if in response to these discoveries, the sinister machinations of galactic evil are churning. The metallic infection, a calamitous nanotechnology “disease” thought to have been vanquished 20 years ago, is slowly returning — and alongside it, a number of conflicts thought to be long past. While they only seek to better grasp their own abilities, Earth’s Chaotics will soon find themselves in the crossfire of returning threats and old heroes. These superpowered Earthians may not have chosen this path through life, but it will still be up to them to determine if history remembers them — to determine if history remembers the saga of the Keys. Return of Chaos is a direct sequel to Chosen Chaos, which begins the Key Saga novel series. Be sure to read Chosen Chaos first, to understand the plot and the characters thus far! Additionally, the Key Saga as a whole takes place 20 years after Rise. You will not need to read Rise to understand the events of Return of Chaos, however the latter will spoil many of the events that occurred in Rise, due to the simple chronology of taking place later in the timeline.
