Chapter 36: Hindsight

Black blood stains remained on the fine-stabbed sword. The damaged clothes and the abrasions in the fight were a bit more heroic. Zhou Qingfeng was even more aggressive after the fight. His mouth was short and clear, which convinced people.
Goblins and villagers have poor combat effectiveness, and the battle depends entirely on the capabilities of the commander. But the gains from a bad battle are huge.
Zhou Qingfeng completely seized two complete light trebuchets, and even the human craftsmen who operated the trebuchets did not run away. All were caught by him. Exactly, it was the craftsmen who saw him as a human adventurer and cried. Running out to take refuge.
These craftsmen came from a city called 'Hengfengbao' outside the Black Forest. It is said to have a population of tens of thousands and belongs to one of the larger cities in the north. They were deceived, kidnapped, and threatened by the Church of Bann into the Black Forest and became slaves of the goblin.
Zhou Qingfeng became the human liberator in the minds of the artisans. The tortured people almost fell to the ground, worshipped and prayed for the hero's help.
"These artisans are always better than the waste from Heonuma Village, aren't they?" Zhou Qingfeng lifted the artisans one by one and simply asked for their names. There were five of them in total, and a middle-aged man named Wilson looked calmer and was assigned as the team leader to direct the others.
"Take the trebuchet away, we may use it later. Take the vehicles behind us and we will evacuate immediately. Old Borg, you take someone to erase the traces, don't let those goblins track us." Zhou Qingfeng ordered. .
There are cattle, horses and even goblin peculiar wolf. Those wolves refused to be driven by humans and could only be killed on the spot. The wolf corpses can also provide meals to the villagers, and the wolf skin can also protect against the cold.
Checking the supplies in the convoy, there was a cart of field equipment, a cart of horses, a cart of jerky, two carts of rye flour, and a box of gold and silver coins. These were prepared for the troops that besieged Baiyu Village, with gold and silver as a reward for human traitors.
Craftsman Wilson said that these were purchased by the Church of Bann from the Cold Wind City for this Black Forest operation. In order to control the Black Forest, the cultists did everything they could to dig out all the wealth they had accumulated over the years and desperately.
The Black Forest is dying, and all supplies must be purchased from the outside world, which costs a lot. If the expected goal is not achieved, the power of the Church of Bann in the North will be severely damaged by moneyless forces. It will be like a street mouse.
It is said that the expenditure is so huge that it can be called an action to determine fate. Anyway, every step must be carefully studied and carefully arranged to avoid a shortfall. However, such an important logistic team has only two bear goblins leading the team to protect it, which is also a big deal.
From Wilson's description, this 'carelessness' is reasonable. ‘The God of Tyranny’ has just been resurrected. The Church of Bann is not very manpowered. There are only a dozen core believers in the Black Forest.
Even in the face of a large-scale fighting, this manpower is far from enough. Otherwise, the people of the Church of Bann would not want to use the power of goblins to achieve their goals, which is really no way.
Now that a heavy team is broken, the good things in the team are all cheaper. The accompanying villagers made several laps around the convoy, rejoicing one by one, and their morale rose again, a bit like a "warrior".
Zhou Qingfeng had to take serious discipline again, demanding that the "warriors" shut up and not disclose any details of the operation. With just one sentence, he told his entire staff to let everyone else in Kuruma Village know more, and the less you divided.
With such intimidation and temptation, Zhou Qingfeng led his team back to Heinuma Village before dark. The people in the village were naturally surprised, but no matter what they asked, the 'warriors' in the team did not speak, and when they were asked anxiously, the word 'discipline' popped up.
Just going out for a long time, such a great gain in a long time, the villagers immediately jealous. Immediately, hundreds of people rushed to Zhou Qingfeng's tent, crying and shouting, demanding to be a subordinate of "Master Hugo".
If you can't be a subordinate, as long as you eat, you can be a slave.
Noisy noises could not be stopped, and people kept trying to rush into Zhou Qingfeng's tent. Right now the village is about to run out of food, and hungry villagers are desperate to survive.
"It's not easy to raise more than three hundred mouths." Zhou Qingfeng arranged fifteen waste wood 'warriors' out, holding the light crossbow to stop the villagers who kept coming.
To be honest, he certainly meant not to raise any waste. But in this situation, if you do n’t support, you have to support, at least half. Don't starve the other half at the same time, don't rebel.
"Boil porridge first, eat a big pot of rice." Zhou Qingfeng called to Rubio, appointed him as a temporary housekeeper, and opened up a certain amount of food to appease the restless villagers.
Waiting for a bowl of gruel, Uncle Zhou ordered the expansion. He made fifteen wastewood 'warriors' the team leader and recruited 20 team members each. The recruited people began to work to repair Kuruma Village.
Manufacture tools, fill roads, clean up garbage, fasten walls, dig wells, dig toilets, do laundry, cook, etc. In short, the work can't be finished. Well done, Zhou Qingfeng inspected himself and decided whether he could eat enough.
Lao Tzu is creating jobs!
As long as employment is stabilized and there is ample food and clothing, the people will not make trouble. Naturally stabilized Zhou Qingfeng's current position.
There was no speech overnight, and Zhou Qingfeng stayed in the village for the next two days. After falling asleep, he used the information network to gather information and attract the civilians at the bottom. He did not go out and rob again.
As for the goblin side, it was only two days later that it was determined that a heavy squad of transporting trebuchets had not reached the front line of Baiya Village from Stucco Village and should be robbed.
This slow response is really staggering.
It wasn't the goblin who stayed in the stucco village, but it was the human traitor Laosius who besieged the village of Baiya.
The jungle wanderer has fierce and treacherous eyes. For his own benefit, he can sell anyone without hesitation. This time he thought that the Church of Bann had a better chance, so he did not hesitate to raise his butcher knife to his kind.
On the night of Zhou Qingfeng's successful robbery, Lao Xiusi was violently cursing in the camp outside Baiya Village. The heavy squad escorted by the two bear goblins will not only transport the trebuchets that destroy the strong walls, but also a batch of tents.
The Black Forest is cold during the day and colder at night. Goblins have to hide in the woods to avoid the wind, and human beings need a warmer shelter. Lao Xiusi brought fifty men to the White Crow Village in a light suit, and spent the night in the wild tormented by a bonfire.
Such suffering is a serious physical exhaustion and has a great impact on the fighting. It should be said that the tent should be delivered the next day, but Laosius waited until the night, only the cold wind came, and nothing else.
"Damn goblins, they must have delayed things." Old Xiuss's first doubt was that no one was robbing and robbing. Instead, he felt that the goblin's laziness and chaos had led to the delivery of logistics supplies.
After all, those goblins have always been unreliable.
Mid-to-low-level goblin soldiers and officers will only bark on 'Ok O'Ke'. Their goblin language has only this one pronunciation, all meanings are expressed by changes in tones, and outsiders cannot understand at all.
The goblins who can speak common language are all high-level, but what they are best at is to jump to the gods and pray to the gods. Letting them do complex tasks that require coordination and organization will definitely mess up.
The next day under siege, Laosius did nothing. His men were all pale, and they could only burn the bonfire again to avoid the cold and wait for the third day to send someone back to the stucco village to supervise the transportation of supplies.
There are several pastors of the Bann Church in the stucco village who are in charge of logistics. They heard that supplies were not delivered to the front line. They also scolded them. They also thought that the goblin's laziness was a bad thing.
So the church pastor quickly sent someone to investigate where the heavy team had gone?
Throughout the day of investigation, Laosius's men and women continued to suffer another night in the cold wind, suffering miserably. In the case of lack of clothing and food, many adventurers became ill and became non-combat.
By the fifth day after the start of the war, the official battle had not yet started. Instead, an investigation report was placed in the presence of the old goblin shaman'zul. Grey skin. A human force attacked our heavy squadron, causing heavy losses.
As for who attacked the Goblin Squadron?
Those goblins who escaped are unclear, but they have a profound impact on the human teenager, and the weapon is a rusty fine bayonet. He is the worst!
