Chapter 734: Chapter 475: Surveillance and Counter-surveillance, Assembly and Preparation [Anti-theft][5K]_3

It could awaken the procreation instinct in its bloodline.

Now, Zong Shen’s territory has become increasingly attractive to it.

To avoid direct contact as much as possible, after the first Eye of the Poisonous Snake was exposed, it had the Shaman use witchcraft to summon back the leading Goblin Hero and the two teams of Goblin Scouts.

The opponent’s territory is there, and once they set their sights on it, escape is impossible.

When the King of Goblins regained its composure, only three projections remained, which were scattered Eyes of the Poisonous Snake placed in other directions.

However, these three Eyes of the Poisonous Snake did not survive long. It watched as two people riding Horned Eagle Battle Beasts destroyed the remaining Eyes of the Poisonous Snake.

The fully armed Zong Shen, holding a thick spellbook, launched a Thunder Light Arrow to destroy the last Eye of the Poisonous Snake, which was the last scene the King of Goblins witnessed.

All the projections were shattered, not one managed to remain undetected.

The opponent’s reaction ability exceeded its expectations, and both the known situations and its experience were conveying one piece of information.

That is, these humans are not to be trifled with!

Inside the domed straw hut, those Shamans could be heard panting heavily.

This was the center of the Goblin Tribe and also the usual residence of the King of Goblins.

The Goblins didn’t care much for architecture or aesthetics, and the arrangement inside the hut could be described as impoverished.

In the room, there was a campfire made of round mountain stones, all blackened by charcoal fire.

There were also some half-burned pieces of wood and some black-gray bones.

Apart from the campfire, there were only some crudely made wooden tables and chairs.

There was also a simple bed padded with various animal furs.

The ground was covered with dry straw to block the morning and evening dew from the mountains, keeping the dome-shaped wooden hut as dry as possible.

In summary, just two words, primitive!

"Let Throat Shattering come find me..."

After a moment of silence, the King of Goblins spoke in the Goblin Tribal language.

Its mood was no longer calm, and its voice was as low and grim as a wild beast’s growl.

After it gave the order, the Goblin Shamans around it got up and left the domed straw hut.

...

Zong Shen and Wenresa quickly destroyed the remaining three Eyes of the Poisonous Snake.

They also took the opportunity to fly on the Horned Eagle Beast, circling the territory overhead.

They confirmed the normal operation of the eight defense matrices around the territory.

Now on the northern side of the territory, a [Tier Four Detection Tower] had been erected. This complete building was installed by Marie after she received notice from Zong Shen.

With this Detection Tower, the northern part of the territory would have much tighter defense capabilities.

As for the other directions, they had to rely on those Tier Three and Tier Four [Magic Energy Patrol Dogs].

These Magic Energy Mechanical Dogs, inherently equipped with detection magic, would dynamically patrol to fill the stealth detection gaps in other directions of the territory.

The weather had turned stunningly clear, and the cold temperatures were no longer present.

Only the ice layer on the ground remained, but much of it had melted and disappeared over time.

When Wenresa guided the Horned Eagle Battle Beast, carrying Zong Shen, to the living area, everyone had already left their houses and stone huts.

Due to having cleared the snow twice and the efforts of the windbreak walls during the storms, the ice layer in the living area was thinner than in other places.

The melting speed was correspondingly faster.

The Horned Eagle swooped down, its massive wings whipping up fierce winds, lifting the hairs of the warriors waiting on standby.

Frosty Winter had ended, and the ice layers underfoot no longer felt cold or smooth.

Zong Shen agilely jumped from the back of the Horned Eagle Beast, landing in front of the warriors.

All the warriors had already taken off their cold-resistant suits, rabbit fur boots, and leggings.

These cold-resistant items had been uniformly collected by Marie.

Zong Shen stood still, unfastening his Charging Cloak and Bear Skin Coat, then removed his boots and leggings, immediately feeling much lighter.

He twisted his neck and stretched his body on the spot, and by the time he was done, Wenresa had already rejoined the group.

This was the first assembly of the warriors after the Frosty Winter Challenge.

Even the Mages who stayed long-term in the [Magic Hall] were all present.

Zong Shen stood upright, raising the face cover of the Silver Knight’s Battle Helmet to his forehead, revealing his face.

His gaze swept over everyone; the formation of a hundred or so warriors did carry a certain momentum.

Finally, his gaze stopped in front of Hoy, and in front of everyone, he took out the [Hiking Merchant Badge] and gestured for Hoy to come over.

"Hoy, come here."

Upon hearing the summons, Hoy quickly stepped forward, kneeling with one knee in front of Zong Shen, lowering his head to look at Zong Shen’s boot tips, showing respect.

"My Lord, Hoy awaits your orders."

He spoke softly, his attitude impeccable, befitting someone who once served nobles.

However, Zong Shen was not very fond of such formalities, valuing efficiency over these courtesies at the current stage.

"Raise your head, I will bestow this badge upon you."

Zong Shen said loudly.

Extending his hand that held the badge.

Hoy immediately lifted his head.

Raising his hands, watching as Zong Shen placed the badge in them.

As a hero under the Lord’s command, he naturally could check the attributes.

When his gaze landed on the badge, the notification of loyalty change followed.

Zong Shen was not surprised by this.

Giving gifts is the fastest way to increase loyalty.

After a period of interaction, his loyalty had reached 88 points, and this badge added another ten points.

Now only two points short of Max.

"Thank you for your gift, my Lord!"

"Hoy will surely..."

His words were cut off by Zong Shen, who waved his hand to silence him.
