After a thunderous rage, Baron Rodney suppressed his anger towards those selfish guys and said to the leader of the "Rat Nest", the senior gold-level thief Moonlight Mouse, who was leaning in the corner of the conference hall and trimming his nails with a sharp dagger, "Hasn't there been any news from Harlock of the Razor Crown War Goblin Corps?"

  "I heard that because the 'Return to the Homeland Plan' of the goblins and lizardmen was blocked, they have not been able to open up the underground passage of the Sea Wall Mountains."

  "So, unless they are willing to directly attack the border checkpoint 'Sea Wall Pass', otherwise, they can't come for the time being."

  Moonlight Mouse leisurely blew away the debris on his nails and added, "Also, the swamp lizardmen of 'Torak Swamp' have requested another batch of equipment and supplies. It is said that the previous batch of supplies has been almost used up by them."

  "Damn it! They might as well just go and rob!" Baron Rodney roared, "Tell them! If they can't open the underground passage within half a month, I will see them in Coran City even if I have to destroy the Sea Wall Pass!"

  Moonlight Mouse shrugged indifferently, leaving Baron Rodney, who was panting, and the JQ nobles in the room who were so scared that they dared not breathe, and walked out slowly.

  Baron Rodney's anger is not difficult to understand, as his career seems to have been unsuccessful recently.

  He originally planned to attract the most powerful war goblin legion "Razor Crown" in Dagon County to attack the city of Suribal in Cape Bay, break the blockade of Coran City by the JQ nobles, and then plot against the cities of Talandor and Taliston, which are protected by the JQ nobles in Suribal City.

  In this plan, he not only planned to let the local forces disrupt the public security of Coran City, so that the city guards had no time to stop the war goblins of "Razor Crown", but also planned to take advantage of the situation to ask the war goblins to break through the Doom Castle so that he could obtain the industry and production line of Cole Pharmacy.

  Then use the magical pharmaceutical equipment of Cole Pharmacy to produce a large number of potions to recover the funds invested in the early stage, and support the major goblin forces in Dagon County to invade Zilargo, so that the local forces in Zilargo County have no time to take care of his development...

  However, he never expected that the damn goblins were blocked by the underground passage of the Sea Wall Mountains that was scheduled to be opened a month ago.

  And those swamp lizardmen in "Torak Swamp" were so greedy that they asked him for supplies again. One third of his huge investment in the early stage was spent on those slimy lizards!

  What kind of mysterious place is the so-called "ancestral land" of those goblins and lizards? Is it the lair of the dragon? Why is it so difficult to open it?

  If the coalition forces at the Sea Wall Pass were not too powerful, the losses would be too great if they broke through the pass directly. Baron Rodney really wanted to order them to destroy the Sea Wall Pass immediately.

  "I ask you to raise a batch of funds and materials after you go back. The initial investment cannot be wasted like this..."

  Baron Rodney looked at the JQ nobles in the reception room with a gloomy look and continued: "If you don't want your initial investment to go to waste, it's best not to find those poor excuses to evade me. As for those greedy goblins and lizardmen, I will let them know afterwards that greed has a price to pay!"

  The JQ nobles looked at each other, and dared not say much. They all stood up with ugly faces and left in twos and threes.

  When there was no one else in the reception room, Baron Rodney grabbed an antique vase angrily and smashed it hard on the ground. The crisp cracking sound showed the quality of this expensive porcelain.

  Baron Rodney, who broke the antique vase but still could not dispel his anger, was almost crazy.

  That damn Cole Pharmacy, through some unknown connection, had loaned thousands of magicians from Komo University to Doom Castle, which ruined his plan to attack Doom Castle!

  Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

  Damn it!

  That's thousands of magicians!

  Not to mention his armed forces, even the war goblins probably can't break through a castle with thousands of magicians!

  The Moonlight Mouse who had just left suddenly hurried in, took a look at the porcelain fragments on the ground, clicked his tongue twice, and said: "Baron, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

  Baron Rodney did not answer, but stared at the thief with a grim look, obviously not interested in his little joke.

  "Then I'll tell you the bad news first. There is no hope for the underground passage in the Sea Wall Mountains!"

  Moonlight Mouse, who thought that the Baron had no sense of humor, shrugged his shoulders, "It is said that the goblins and lizardmen were completely driven out of the underground by their enemies in the 'homeland', and the mysterious passage was destroyed and blocked. It will probably take half a year to dig the entrance to the underground passage again!"

  Before Baron Rodney got angry, Moonlight Mouse told him a piece of good news: "General Harlock of the Razor Crown has formed an alliance with the swamp lizardmen in the Torak Swamp and plans to bypass the Sea Wall Pass from the sea. This requires you, the Baron, to be generous and provide a large number of rafts and supplies!"

  Baron Rodney was stunned when he heard this: "Are they going to let the swamp lizardmen drag rafts in the sea and trek hundreds of miles along the coastline to take the city of Surribal?"

  "How is that possible! They are just swamp lizardmen, not the darlings of the ocean!" Moonlight Mouse rolled his eyes, "They just plan to make a small detour on the sea, avoid the sea wall, and then land and march."

  "Looking at their marching route, they must pass through Kolanbang. Although they dare not offend Kolan City..." Moonlight Mouse suddenly changed the subject, with a bit of gloating, "But the farms, pastures, vineyards, and manors in the suburbs may be destroyed by the goblins. Baron, you may suffer heavy losses this time!"

  Baron Rodney has many industries in Kolanbang, which is the critical period for the growth of crops and livestock. Once the goblins attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

  Baron Rodney frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Can General Harlock restrain his subordinates and avoid farms and vineyards?"

  "If General Harlock could restrain those greedy, stupid, and brutal goblins, they would have unified Dagon County and become the king of goblins long ago, so why would they need your support? By the way, there is another piece of gossip!" Moonlight Mouse rolled his eyes again, but then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The 'house mouse' lurking in the Castle of Doom has sent news that a large-scale underground ruins have been discovered under the Castle of Doom, which contains a large number of goblins and lizardmen!"

  "Underground ruins? What does this have to do with us?" Baron Rodney was stunned, and then he suddenly realized, "Could it be that the so-called 'ancestral land' is the ruins under the Castle of Doom? And the exit of the 'underground passage' is the Castle of Doom?"

  Moonlight Mouse nodded slowly, and Baron Rodney frowned immediately.

  Could this Cole potion be sent by God to make trouble? This is too coincidental! It was such a coincidence that he couldn't help but wonder, is there a traitor inside the JQ Association? Let the Cole Pharmacy always ruin his plan!

  He sent someone to contact the war goblins of Dagon, and Cole Pharmacy bought the Castle of Doom.

  He funded the goblins and lizardmen to open up the underground passage of the Sea Wall Mountains, and Cole Pharmacy discovered the underground ruins.

  The goblins and lizardmen attacked the "ancestral land", and Cole Pharmacy recruited thousands of magic apprentices...

  Baron Rodney suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. He took several breaths to recover. He didn't even have the energy to be angry. He even felt a little bit amused.

  "You also find it incredible, right?" Moonlight Mouse said with a smile, "I don't know if what I'm going to say next is good news."

  "Since the entrance to the underground ruins in Dagon County has been destroyed and closed, the magic apprentices who have completed the ruins exploration have evacuated the Doom Castle. Most of those who remain there are apprentices from the Potion and Alchemy Departments."

  Baron Rodney's eyes lit up when he heard this. He walked to the wall of the conference room, looked at the map of Colanbang on the wall, and moved his finger on it for a while, and pointed at the location of the Doom Castle.

  "You mean, tell General Harlock this news, let him take the foothills of the Sea Wall Mountains, attack the Castle of Doom, and let the goblins' marching route avoid most of the manors and farms?"

  Moonlight Mouse smiled and said, "You are so wise and brave!"

  Baron Rodney said excitedly, "Then what are you waiting for? Go and contact those hateful goblins!"

  "Yes, Sir Baron!" After that, the figure of Moonlight Mouse gradually disappeared from Baron Rodney's sight...

  Suburbs of Kolan City.

  A "Dragon Nest Adventure Hall" that can accommodate 100,000 people has just been completed, and the "First Komo Adventure Competition" will be held here soon.

  Jia Lan stood behind the service desk, with his arms around his chest, watching the magic apprentices who served as "game arbitrators" busy preparing for the opening.

  Recently, the Komo Adventure Game has quietly emerged in Kolan City, attracting a lot of attention.

  Participants are no longer limited to students of Komo University, but are gradually extended to all people in Kolan City.

  This kind of interesting adventure game has many participants and even more viewers.

  In this era of lack of entertainment, Komo Adventure is much more interesting than drinking in bars, gambling in casinos, and watching plays in theaters.

  Especially for those civilians who cannot become warriors or adventurers, watching participants perform Komo Adventure tasks can also make them immersed in it and enjoy the fun.
