The Sims Evolved from Goblins

Chapter 28 Stupid Equipment

"We'll deal with them later. Now the tribe has to save its strength!"

The goblins were still too weak.

The sneak attack plus the advantage in numbers actually resulted in a 1-for-1 exchange.

The lizardmen lost half of their men, and his goblin brothers also lost nearly half of their men.

If they continue to fight, even if they can defeat the lizardmen, there won't be many of his goblin brothers left.

Gobqiang glanced at the boss with a vague understanding.

Why should we save our strength?

The brothers can be replenished at any time.

Even if the brothers are gone, they can just be regenerated.

After enjoying the corpses of the lizardmen, the team continued to go upstream.

Two days later in the afternoon, Li Meng returned to the tribe with the hunting team.

After returning to the tribe, Li Meng only did one thing.

That is to strengthen the army and let the goblins learn to use crossbows as soon as possible.

Once the goblin brothers are equipped with crossbows, the efficiency of hunting will be greatly improved.

Its own combat effectiveness will also increase several times.

The barbarians without armor had no power to resist the crossbow.

It was another new day.

The weather was very good today, with a cloudless sky and bright sunshine.

In the forest where the tribe was located, the big goblins gathered together.

"Boss, what is this?"

The big goblins looked at the crossbow in their hands with curiosity.

"This is a crossbow, a new long-range weapon, watch it!"

Li Meng held the crossbow in his right hand and pulled the string with his left hand to load it.

"What are you looking at? Do it!"

The boss's scolding made the big goblins hurriedly pull the string and load it clumsily.

Although Li Meng pulled the string and loaded the crossbow easily, the big goblins were different.

They gritted their teeth, and their arms were bulging with blue veins before they barely pulled the string and loaded it.

"Now load the crossbow arrow, and make sure it fits the wall of the crossbow!"

Li Meng took the crossbow arrow from his waist and loaded it.

The big goblins followed suit.

"Now, aim at the big tree in the distance!"

Li Meng held the crossbow with both hands and aimed at a big tree thirty meters away.

"The bulge below is the trigger, press it in the direction of your body!"

After saying that, Li Meng pulled the trigger.

With a "swoosh" sound, the crossbow arrow flew out.

"Swish!"

The next moment, the crossbow arrow was deeply nailed into the tree trunk.

"Swoosh!"

Big Goblin pulled the trigger in a hurry.

With the sound of breaking through the air, the crossbow arrow flew to an unknown place.

After all the big goblins pulled the trigger, there was still only one crossbow arrow on the trunk of the big tree.

"Now you know what weapon this is!"

Big Goblin nodded excitedly.

"Boss, you are so awesome!"

"Boss, the force required is too great, and the brothers can't pull it open."

Li Meng bent down and stepped on the foot ring rope of the crossbow head with his foot.

That was a foot ring rope made of bark rope.

Even if it is broken, it can be repaired with local materials.

"Look, you can also use both hands to pull!"

Li Meng pulled the bowstring with both hands to load the bow.

The big goblin brothers showed a look of enlightenment.

If they use both hands, the goblin brothers can also use the crossbow.

"From today on, you must learn how to use the crossbow skillfully, and teach your brothers."

Faced with the boss's lecture, the big goblins nodded repeatedly.

"I will randomly check in a month. It may be you or your brothers. If anyone fails, you will go to the iron cave to work as a coolie for a year."

Go to the iron cave to work as a coolie?

The big goblin's heart tightened and he looked down at the crossbow in his hand.

Although they like the environment in the cave.

But being used as a coolie is a torture.

The big goblins nodded quickly.

"I will send someone to deliver the crossbow to your wooden house later. You can do it yourself."

Li Meng threw the crossbow in his hand to Gobqiang beside him.

Gobqiang was shocked by the boss's behavior.

It quickly caught the crossbow.

"Benben, follow me!"

Li Meng turned and walked into the depths of the forest.

Benben had been sitting obediently by the side.

Hearing the boss calling him, it stood up.

Following the boss with huge and heavy steps.

Half an hour later, outside the iron cave.

The sound of "cracking" branches and leaves suddenly sounded in the forest.

A moment later, Li Meng and Benben's huge body walked out of the forest.

In nearly three months, the iron cave has changed a lot.

The originally narrow cave entrance was dug into a square gate.

As soon as he entered the iron cave, Li Meng felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

Looking into the depths of the iron cave, the firelight disc player on the underground river bank dispersed the darkness.

Wherever the firelight shone, there was a noisy scene.

There were bonfires of all sizes on the river bank.

When one bonfire went out, another bonfire would be lit.

Bonfires are not used for lighting, but for burning charcoal and iron ore.

In addition to the bonfires, there are more than ten five-meter-high blast furnaces standing on the river bank.

The blast furnaces are neatly arranged in a line on the river bank.

Hundreds of goblins are busy on the river bank.

Some are wheezing and pulling the bellows.

Some are piling up firewood to burn charcoal and iron ore.

Some are forging iron tools, and the clanging sound of hammering echoes in the cave.

Some people touch the furnace wall and scream when they are burned, causing their companions to laugh.

Some are holding iron picks and mining iron ore deep in the cave.

"The boss is here, the boss is here!"

Benben's huge figure at the entrance of the cave attracted the attention of the goblins in the cave.

Someone made a strange cry, which made all the goblins look at the entrance of the cave.

Gobug, who was busy at the blast furnace, quickly ran to the boss.

"Boss, boss, why are you here?"

Gobuge, who ran up to Li Meng, asked with a flattering look.

The boss hasn’t been to the Iron Cave for a long time.

Why are you here today?

Li Meng raised his head and glanced at Benben beside him.

"I plan to personally build a pair of armor and weapons for Benben. Is Rusty ready?"

As early as more than a month ago, Li Meng sent someone to notify Gobug to prepare some rust.

Mild steel can be obtained by smelting rust and pig iron.

Benben is a big man, and armor and weapons made of pig iron would be too brittle.

"Boss, everything you want is ready!"

In the next few days, Li Meng and Benben became busy.

Benben is a big man nearly five meters tall, and the armor and weapons he uses are giant.

In the first five days, Li Meng only did two things.

One is to measure the size of Benben’s body.

One involves making giant molds out of clay.

On the seventh day, Li Meng started making steel.

More than half a month later, in the iron cave.

Standing on the river bank is an anvil nearly two meters high and two meters wide and long.

The huge Benben stood in front of the anvil and hammered a piece of fiery red armor with a big hammer.

Every time the hammer is struck, a large amount of sparks will fly out.

"Here, yes, here, here!"

Li Meng held a wooden stick and guided Benben to beat the flaming red armor.

Sometimes the armor is clamped with large iron tongs and tempered before continuing to forge.

On the ground nearby, large and small armors could be seen piled together.

Although it is slightly rough, it will be greatly changed after subsequent polishing.
