Tauren Overlord

They all saw that Gobgolin had just broken free from his stagnation and fell into a spontaneous ecstasy:

"Chosen of the Minotaur God! I just received a summons from the Minotaur Overlord!"

“The Lord has not abandoned us; He is still watching over us from the depths of space.”

"He also established new commandments for us to turn us into true righteous goblins!"

When Goblin said this, the goblins were still skeptical.

It was not until Lu Heng opened the portal and distributed the commandments in written form to Goblin that the goblins were completely shocked!

287. The Dragon Queen in a new outfit

All the goblins surrounding Gobgolin were filled with a combination of joy, excitement, and fear:

"It turns out that the Minotaur Overlord is really watching us!"

What’s even more shocking is yet to come—Lu Heng created another illusion.

Unlike the last time when he only had a private chat with the Goblin Pope, this time Lu Heng also brought hundreds of other goblins around Goblin into a giant temple.

The Minotaur Overlord, who was over ten meters tall, was sitting on the pulpit in the temple, facing the hundreds of short goblins in front of him.

Except for Goblin, the other goblins entered the space created by Lu Heng for the second time, and were once again deeply impressed by this world-changing power.

Before Lu Heng could speak, Goblin and the other goblins prostrated themselves at Lu Heng's feet, showing their piety.

The reason why Lu Heng built the Minotaur Temple was, on the one hand, to prevent the authority of the Minotaur Cult from being too concentrated in the hands of the Pope;

On the other hand, the goblins summoned by Lu Heng only accounted for about 1% of the total number of goblin troops.

This is to distinguish them from the ordinary goblins who are not interested in the "Tauren Cult".

And among these hundreds of "selected" goblins, there may be future cardinals or new missionaries.

Lu Heng's behavior indeed made the 1% of the goblins realize that they were the only voters of the Tauren Overlord.

The Goblin Pope was also deeply moved.

After all, he really contributed a lot in the process of building the "Tauren Cult" from scratch, but he was still looked down upon by most goblins.

There were even other goblins who were setting up some kind of "God-worshipping Cult" to compete with him for believers.

If the Minotaur Overlord had not appeared in time and won so many followers for him, Gob Gaolin might not have been able to compete with other pagans.

Of course, the Goblin Pope must do his best to please the source of salvation before his eyes.

His body was still kneeling on the ground, but his upper body was raised high, his hands spread out like wings, palms facing upward, and he was muttering:

"Great Tauren Overlord, please allow us to offer our sincerest blessings to your cause!"

“I believe you have also heard that collective blessings can be combined into a great force to change automobile transportation!”

"We will continue to develop new believers. As long as our prayers increase by one point, your invincibility will continue for a moment!"

Lu Heng wasn’t sure whether this was a blessing just composed by Goblin, but for this friendly force…well, perhaps calling it a friendly force is an understatement.

If he really secures his position as the living saint of the Minotaur Cult, then his relationship with these goblins will definitely be closer than his relationship with the centaurs.

Looking at the many goblins crawling under his feet, Lu Heng also stretched out his hands, his body and mind were uplifted, and his tone was calm and steady:

"Rise up! I want my followers to do more good deeds instead of kneeling down to others."

Lu Heng didn't care what Gob Gaolin's original purpose was in establishing the "Tauren Cult".

Maybe the goblin was simply trying to make money, or maybe he wanted to become the new goblin warlord, who cares.

Since Lu Heng is the real boss, this thing in his hands will not become a pure tool for exploiting people.

However, Gob Gaolin didn't seem to quite understand what Lu Heng meant. He hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say:

"You could have let us die in endless purgatory, but you chose to save our lives. How can this not be a great act of mercy?"

"How can we weak goblins express our gratitude to you except crawling on the ground and kneeling before you?"

This idea of ​​"being grateful because the powerful Tauren Overlord didn't kill them" is indeed logical, but it may not be in Lu Heng's interest.

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, the strongest spellcaster is not Lu Heng, but the Imperial Emperor.

The most powerful army was not Lu Heng's elite troops, but the double ghost coalition composed of the Imperial Devils and the Volachian Dead Ghosts.

What can Lu Heng do with just his few battalions? So we must improve diplomacy right now.

But it would be unreliable to rely solely on intimidation to conduct goblin diplomacy.

Because the goblins could choose to surrender again because the God-Emperor is more capable of killing them.

Lu Heng must plant some seeds in their hearts to resist the temptation of the God-Emperor, so as to prevent them from repeating the same mistakes.

He calmed himself down and continued:

"You should follow my three commandments, and the fourth one is to seek equal exchange and mutual benefit in everything."

"I don't intend to exchange anything for your kneeling - because this behavior lacks the necessary value for me."

"I would rather you become the vanguard of changing the entire Earth Force and clean up any factions that try to surrender to the Empire or the vampires."

"In return, I will lead you to avoid extinction - or even a fate worse than death."

These goblins all know that the Empire and the vampires don't just treat them as cannon fodder.

The Empire prefers to treat the goblins as "blood banks" or "sacrifices" for their blood recovery or to create magnetic horned demons;

The necromancers of Volachia have long wanted to kill them and use them again, and by then they won’t be able to rest even after they die.

The reason why the Imperial Demons and the Necromancers did not do so was largely because it was difficult for them to trust each other.

At this time, whoever draws the knife against "their own people" first will more easily make the other side more wary, causing the alliance to break down prematurely.

The secret restraint between demons and ghosts is the reason why this group of goblins can still survive.

But precisely because the goblins are weaker than either the Empire or the Kingdom of Volachia, they are likely to rebel again out of fear.

So how can we make the goblins more stable for our own use?

Lu Heng's solution was to offer the goblins a more competitive term, such as "equivalent exchange."

A necromancer like the vampire king Degal, who only cares about enslaving his undead supplies, naturally would not advocate equal exchange.

As an unrivaled powerful being, it is even more impossible for him to agree to an equal exchange.

Lu Heng came from a world where transactions were everywhere. For him, doing business did not require any mental obstacles.

Although goblins are greedy, they are not born mentally retarded.

After weighing the pros and cons, the goblins, led by Goblin, stood up and firmly stated that it would be more cost-effective to follow the Tauren Overlord.

Seeing their expressions of having taken advantage, Lu Heng felt more relieved.

Expecting the goblins to not surrender to the Empire and the vampires out of loyalty is obviously a very difficult task and one could easily sprain their backs if not careful.

All it would take is one more step to make the goblins realize that the other options are extremely disadvantageous.

If the enemy wants the goblins to make a bad deal, it will be more difficult than killing them.

……

In fact, while Lu Heng was solving the goblin problem, the Golden Dragon Queen Aurelia also changed her previous arrogant attitude and asked to engage in diplomacy with Lu Heng.

She even listened to Roland and took the initiative to fly outside the magic barrier, waiting for Lu Heng's call.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the environment around her finally changed, as if she had come to a clean and elegant garden.

In the center of the garden was a tea pavilion, where the Tauren Lord was sitting, seemingly waiting for her to drink tea together.

What made Aurelia a little embarrassed and annoyed was that the Tauren Overlord actually changed her appearance without her permission.

The noble queen appeared directly before his eyes in a slender human form, and even her clothes were changed.

No matter what, Aurelia is the god of death in the sky of the Sea Alliance.

But now she was wearing a pure white lace princess dress, the hem of which just reached her knees;

What's even stranger is that she was wearing some thin, light white "pants" on her slender legs. No, they looked more like socks that were too long.

The shoes the Minotaur matched for her were princess shoes that were too cute and lacked dignity, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

In order to make herself feel better, she also tried not to discover such a terrible fact:

That minotaur had inadvertently changed all her clothes... How dare he do such a thing?

But Aurelia did not dare to be angry with Lu Heng.

At this moment, Marshal Selron's demon army and Degar's undead army are pressing towards the Cat-Eared Kingdom.

Their vanguard even had a rebellious legion of goblins leading the way - and the centaurs that were originally the main reserve had been crippled.

The current situation does not allow her to continue to neglect the minotaur who can help her the most.

288. What is this female ghost?

Aurelia originally thought that if the Empire and the Sea Alliance really attacked, she would lead her Golden Dragon team to attack westward.

With the tremendous power of rune bombs, it is entirely possible to paralyze the major cities of the empire one after another.

In this way, the Sea Alliance will be able to gain the upper hand in a protracted war...

However, this strategic plan must be based on the premise that the four major defense zones of the Sea Alliance can successfully resist the imperial attack.

However, the southeastern corner of the alliance was missing due to the betrayal of the vampires, and the centaurs, who were the general reserve, were also crippled.

As a result, the Cat-Eared Kingdom became the salient of the rest of the Seaside Alliance.

Now this salient is being attacked by both the Imperial Army and the guides within the Sea Alliance, but the rest of the alliance dares not provide full support.

No, it’s not a question of whether or not to give your all.

Of the remaining 12 healthy member states, only her beggar version of the "Dragon Kingdom" is still supporting.

To make matters worse, the Empire consists of more than just the Army.

The "Eye of the Sky" runes deployed by the Cat-Eared Vians on the shore also discovered that the Imperial Navy had arrived.

In this way, the Cat-Eared Kingdom was completely attacked from both the east and west sides of the empire.

This cat-people kingdom is actually not much stronger than the kingdom of galloping horses. How can it withstand this?

The Cat-Eared Kingdom is on the verge of destruction.

If Aurelia and her Golden Dragon Squad chose to leave at this time, the Cat-Eared Kingdom would be completely isolated and helpless.

However, it often takes Aurelia several days to bomb Imperial city targets far away in the Western Continent while avoiding the Imperial air defense forces.

That would make it easier for the Cat-Eared Via Kingdom to fall into despair.

Will these hopeless cat people surrender under the instigation of the Imperial God-Emperor?

This is exactly what Aurelia is most worried about.

Now that the vampires of the Kingdom of Volachia have surrendered, it is not certain that the cat man can really hold on until she flies back.

Once two powerful member states surrender or even lead the way for the empire, the war will be completely hopeless.

Even putting aside her dream of reviving the Dragon Kingdom, Aurelia really doesn't want to lose.
