Chapter 0522: Strategy for the Iron City

The old goblin has not much time left!

The failure to capture several wizards has caused a huge loophole in its "eternal life plan" that is difficult to make up for. In order to prolong its life, it has to compromise with a strong man in the other plane.

When the plane gate opens, the entire goblin plane will become a vassal of the half-dragon empire in the other plane. The old goblin will obtain the high-energy life form he expects, and then smoothly complete the transition from flesh and blood life to magic life.

Originally, the goblin royal family knew nothing about these secrets, but as Princess Vanessa was abducted to the Iron City, the goblin royal family sent a large number of goblin spies and spies to sneak in there, and accidentally discovered the secrets of the old goblin.

At this time in the Iron City, most of the goblin residents have been turned into laborers by the old goblin, working day and night to build the plane gate for it. On the outskirts of the Iron City, there are patrols and mercenary camps of venture capital companies everywhere, and all roads and ports leading to the Iron City have been completely blocked.

The private army of the old goblin retreated to the Iron City, turning it into a heavily guarded magical city.

The selfishness of the old goblin also made the goblin royal family attacked from all sides. The evil wizards were stirring up trouble in the plane, and the half-dragon empire was eyeing them outside the plane. Even if they gathered all their strength to defeat the wizards, they were destined to be enslaved and plundered by the half-dragons.

So at this critical moment, the goblins finally bowed their heads and prepared to reconcile and cooperate with the wizards to defeat the old goblin's conspiracy first.

The goblin royal documents brought by Tigule indicated that as long as the wizards helped the goblins defeat Gazlowe and defeat the attack of the half-dragons, the goblin royal family was willing to hand over part of their power and share the resources of the goblin plane with the wizards.

Grimm certainly accepted the proposal of the goblin royal family.

Since he came to the goblin plane, everything here was destined to become his territory and wealth. How could he allow another army from another dimension to enter the Goblin dimension and compete with him for dominance of the dimension?

That old Goblin was indeed a nuisance. Keeping it would really poke a big hole for himself.

Grimm knew very little about the half-dragon dimension. If they really encountered and clashed with them in the Iron City, Grimm was not absolutely confident that the seven wizards could defeat the entire army of the opposite side.

So after thinking about it, Grimm's eyes could not help but stay on Alice's face.

As if sensing the burning in Grimm's eyes, Alice smiled: "Since we are here, we must get something... Let's do it!"

With Alice's endorsement, Grimm's uneasy heart finally became calm and resolute again.

"We agree to fight together!" Grimm nodded to Tigule and said, "So do you have any specific battle plan?"

"Sneak into the Iron City... destroy the plane gate under construction... rescue Princess Vanessa... kill Gazlowe..."

As the plenipotentiary, Tigule immediately described the "Iron City Raiders" in detail, and the wizards present were listening quietly.

…………

Five days later.

The periphery of the Iron City.

This is a solid pass located in the gap of the mountain.

The battle has just ended, and the more than 30 goblin mercenaries stationed here have become a pile of corpses. The wolf dung above the pass has been ignited, and a billowing black smoke is rising, which can be clearly seen even from dozens of miles away.

A team of goblin elites is quickly cleaning the battlefield, while Tigule is standing on the pass with 7 black-robed wizards, looking at the Iron City standing on the top of the high mountain dozens of miles away.

This is an amazing steel city.

The entire city is located at the highest point of the snow-capped Sulai Mountains, and is almost entirely made of huge rock and metal. The city is built on the mountain, and most of the city buildings are located in the belly of the Sulai Mountains.

The Iron City has two gates that are more than 30 meters high, and on both sides of the gates stand tall giant statues of goblin sages. The smallest of them is more than 20 meters tall, and they are all exquisitely carved and lifelike.

In order to facilitate access, the Iron City built a flat and solid stone road that can drive 5 goblin chariots side by side at the same time.

However, at this moment, there are seven or eight temporary camps on both sides of this stone road, with thousands of goblin mercenaries stationed. If you want to force your way through here, I'm afraid a bloody battle is inevitable.

According to the plan of the Goblin Royal Family, a large number of royal guards and local legions passed through the Minar Pass and launched a crazy attack on the gate of the Iron City from the east and west.

After they pinned down the main force of the goblin mercenaries, the elite troops led by Tigule, mainly the magic machinery army and wizards, entered the Iron City through the underground pipeline.

The gate of the Iron City was built for the convenience of the goblin caravans, but it was too time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport large quantities of goods to the mountain little by little by the caravans. So the goblins used their skilled engineering skills to dig out a well-connected underground corridor in the underground mountain of the Iron City, and laid convenient steam train tracks there.

Every day, the rumbling steam trains traveled through these dense spider-web-like underground networks, transporting a large amount of coal, firewood, food and fruit from the foot of the mountain, and then transported the daily life waste and engineering waste generated by the Iron City to the outside of the mountain.

If there is no Tigule's leadership, I am afraid that Grimm and other wizards may not be able to enter the inner city of the Iron City in ten days. After all, every key node of these underground tunnels is guarded by the old goblin private army. Once a real fight breaks out, the news of their arrival will not be concealed!

Therefore, when they arrive here, even Grimm must obey Tigule's command.

They used surprise tactics to sneak attack an entrance and exit at the foot of the mountain, and then took a steam train with black smoke and advanced deep into the mountain along the laid track.

Some pre-arranged gondola scouts became train captains, while Grimm and others hid in a large wooden box filled with oats and fruits. With the cover of the goblins, they successfully passed through one level after another.

The steam train sped quickly in the empty underground tunnel, and a lighting crystal was inlaid every few meters on the high dome. When the train was about to reach the next checkpoint, the train captain Dottel blew the whistle, then turned down the steam valve, and slowly slowed down the train.

This was a temporary stop platform.

On both sides of the platform, two huge goblin chariots firmly occupied the most advantageous attack position, and the magic cannons on the top of the chariots were facing the slowly approaching steam train. And a goblin in a yellow uniform was holding a red signal light in his hand, signaling the train to stop.

Wearing a huge thick gas, billowing black smoke, the steam train slowly stopped in the middle of the platform with the harsh sound of the chopping board and the rails.

"Routine inspection!" A small leader who looked like a goblin commander shouted: "What's in this train?"

"All oats and fruits..." Dottel, a goblin detective who had been lurking here for a while, leaned out half of his body from the locomotive and answered loudly. Its body and face were covered with black ash from the black smoke, and it was not expected to be recognized by the other party.

"Open the carriages... all need to be checked..." the little leader waved his arms and shouted arrogantly.

"More checks?... From the entrance to here, it has been checked 7 times, why do we need to check again?" Dotel pretended to be dissatisfied and grumbled: "If we delay any longer, this batch of fruits will go bad. Then, you will just wait to eat rotten apples and bad bananas..."

"Open it quickly... stop talking nonsense!" The little leader gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Do you think we are willing to take so much trouble? This is an instruction from the top of the company. All trains entering the Steel City must be strictly checked."

The goblin guards who rushed over pulled open the iron barrel-like train box with force, and what they saw was a pile of large wooden boxes stacked up. Several wooden boxes at the door had been pried open, revealing the golden tangerines, dates, muga fruits, and sala fruits inside...

Several hungry goblins grabbed the fruits and stuffed them into their mouths. The sweet honey immediately flowed down the corners of their mouths, and also made the goblins who were blocked behind them greedy.

"Why are you so impatient?" The little leader swung the whip and lashed fiercely: "Finish the work first. After the inspection, carry two boxes of fruit to the platform. Are you still worried about not having food? Hurry up... work first!"

Under the urging of the little leader, the goblin guards shouted and checked the goods in the wooden boxes one by one.

However, just when a goblin guard had just pried open a particularly large wooden box, the fruit inside suddenly poured out like a flood.

A tall metal body stood up from the wooden box!

Magical machinery! There are magic machines hidden in the wooden box!

Many goblin guards were immediately scared and ran away. The little leader who was at the end jumped back to the platform in one step and shouted loudly at the goblin chariot in the distance: "Fire... Fire... There are enemies inside!"

But what surprised it was that no matter how it shouted and waved its arms, the goblin chariot did not move at all. Instead, black smoke clouds dispersed from inside, condensing into a mysterious black robe in the open space next to the car.

Witch...Wizard...

Seeing this scene, how could the little leader not understand that his group of people had encountered the most terrifying evil wizards!

Without caring about commanding this mob, the little leader ran to the nearest emergency exit.

As long as it gets in there, relying on its familiarity with the underground tunnel, it is sure to get rid of any pursuers.

But unfortunately, with a flash of red light, its head rolled and flew into the sky! chapter;
