In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

The tree elf has a kind smile that makes people feel inexplicably warm in their hearts.

What a strong affinity.

Green was secretly shocked. He actually developed an inexplicable liking for this woman. And it wasn't just the kind of liking for her lower body. He truly felt that she was a good person.

Fulilian had a similar feeling and developed a liking for him. She guessed it was probably some kind of magic that passively generated liking, or a racial talent or something.

but

so big

What's going on with that slight feeling of unhappiness?

She looked at the woman's chest. Why were there always women with big breasts around her recently? It seemed that the world was full of hostility towards flat chests.

"Why should I help you?"

Green crossed his legs, trying to see if he could get some benefits, and the other party was also very sensible.

"Of course I won't let you attack me for no reason. I have a treasure hidden somewhere underground in the Great Jura Forest. I hope to present it to you. It contains some ancient lost magic books. I believe Lady Fulilian will be more interested in them."

"I know this may not be enough, but the Jura Forest is the territory of you and Lord Rimuru. Helping me is also helping you, right?"

The tree elf smiled slightly. She had long known that someone was a money-hungry guy.

As the embodiment of the forest's will, she is able to know some secrets unknown to ordinary people. For example, the treasure mentioned by the tree elf was temporarily buried in the ground by a fleeing noble three hundred years ago, and it has not been opened until now.

Oh? There's such a thing?

Green was a little uninterested.

There are generally not too many treasures of this kind. The ones that exist on the mainland are mostly nobles or thieves who hide them somewhere with at least a few gold coins and at most hundreds or thousands.

"You're quite good at talking, do you think you've got me?"

Fulilian pulled his sleeve, a little excited

"Ohhh! Come on, agree to it, Green. It's an ancient magic book."

Glancing at Fulilian with difficulty, Green finally understood the feeling he had when he was a child in his previous life: his parents' sighs when they were bargaining with the merchants and even pretending not to buy unless the price was lowered, but he refused to leave.

I can't hold it in for a bit.

It was really strange. Before, when Freelian was in Wiz's shop, she had bargained fiercely with him, leaving the junky shop owner feeling a bit frustrated. What happened now? Could it be that she couldn't walk anymore after seeing the magic book?

It's really evil magic, I must

The tree elf smiled knowingly and took control easily.

"I don't dare to have such thoughts. I really need your help, so I can't wait."

"I am sorry."

She had to give him a way out, otherwise it would be bad to embarrass the Earl.

Without going into too much detail, it would be more trouble than it would take for her to allow the Jura Forest to undergo extensive deforestation.

"Haha, okay, I promise you."

Green is sunny and then cloudy. Do you think others are smart?

Well, maybe this tree elf can be of some other help in the future.

"However, you have to get involved in dealing with the Pig-Headed Man, and you can't refuse when I need your help later. Is that okay?"

"Of course~~~"

The two sides reached an agreement in this way. Green made a little fortune and the tree elf was also guaranteed a guarantee.

soon.

As expected, the Pig-Headed Man immediately stepped up his actions, first sending out a small-scale army to test the waters, and then a legion of thousands of people came directly.

It was at noon one day when four thousand pig-headed warriors attacked the town in the Jura Forest.

These pig-headed men have been armed through repeated battles. Basically, every pig-headed man has at least one iron weapon in his hand that can kill people, and the operators among them even fight with shields and daggers and wearing breastplates.

The pig-headed people's fighting spirit is also surprisingly high. They don't retreat even when they die one after another. It is probably because they have beaten their once high and mighty masters to tears during this period of time, which has given them confidence. In short, the intensity of the battle has further increased.

However, thanks to the support of the cute king and the elite troops of the Medici Lords, the pig-headed army was quickly repelled and even mobilized a wave of vassal tribal troops that were originally watching outside the forest to join in the fight against the pig-headed people.

These guys were very cunning. They would not take any action until the Jula Forest showed strong resistance. But when they saw the pig-headed people being chased, they came up one after another, howling to collect the heads.

Green knew that these guys were still not honest, so after the battle, he asked Rimuru to cooperate with him to intimidate the vassal races and to a certain extent, he regained the power to mobilize the army.

In several subsequent small-scale battles, they were made cannon fodder first, and the Jura Forest Army came in later.

During these battles, one of the Pighead Emperor's commanders, including one of his sons, was killed. In addition to the deaths and captivity in the Jola Forest, the number of Pigheaded people reached nearly 10,000. This enraged the Pighead Emperor! He risked his life and diverted some of his forces to the destruction of the Jola Forest, and even joined the battle.

Finally, a decisive battle was about to break out between the two sides. The Pig-Headed Emperor led 70,000 pig-headed people to attack the town of Jura Forest, while the Cute King's side, including the army of the vassal races, had only about 3,000 to 4,000 people at most.

Jura Forest. Wall

Ghosts, lizardmen, goblins, and human soldiers stood on the city walls with stern expressions. The enemy was the pig-headed people who surrounded the city.

"There are so many pig-headed people? It might get a little dangerous later."

Rimuru stood on the top of the city wall. Not far away, there was a dark mass of pig-headed people setting up camp. Her face looked a little unhappy.

It's true that she is powerful, but she is not omniscient and omnipotent. Many acquaintances have died during this period.

"Indeed, the number is truly astonishing. Are there so many pig-headed people on the Demihuman Plain?

Standing on the city wall, Green looked at the pig-headed people who were cutting down trees and setting up camp, and was secretly amazed. The number of these pig-headed warriors was estimated to be 60,000 to 70,000. Together with the vassal races who helped with transportation, the number must be more than 100,000. From a distance, it looked like a large black mass.

Fuck it.

Greenling felt quite worried. These pig-headed people might really rise up. A sow could give birth to dozens of pigs in her lifetime, and the number would increase even more especially when the living conditions improved.

After the appearance of the Pig-Head Emperor, the combat effectiveness and wisdom of the Pig-Headed People were significantly improved, and the level of terror suddenly increased.

And the most terrifying thing is that these guys are really tough, have strong defenses against diseases, can survive by eating dirt and shit, and have extremely low logistical requirements.

According to the description of the game, the logistical pressure is reduced by 50%, the race is moderately immune to diseases, the intelligence evolves, reproduction is strong, and the population growth rate is 200%. Damn, is the answer to this version a pig-headed man, and did he reincarnate into the wrong place?

Looking at the group of starving ghosts who were reincarnated into ugly pig-headed people, Green felt that it would be better if this kind of creature did not become the answer to the version because it was too disgusting. He still wanted to be reincarnated into a good-looking race.

But this also shows the threat posed by the pig-headed man, and Green is already a little afraid of it.

A pig-headed man who is too strong is not in his interest. What he needs is a pig-headed man with good combat capability, who can cause chaos to the subhuman ruling mechanism but will not completely overthrow them.

At least, this time, we must get rid of the Pig-Head Emperor! Otherwise, we will be raising a tiger to cause trouble.

"Our Medici Territory will also provide assistance this time, and I will transfer some people over later."

Green made a decision. It didn't matter if he was exposed at this time. At least the people on Rimuru's side would pretend not to see it, and the vassal races would also pretend not to see it in order to reduce losses.

After the war, they naturally lost their position as they pretended to be blind.

"Thank you so much, Green. I don't know what I would have done without you."

After hearing this, the cute king couldn't help but express his gratitude. Her eyes looked a little haggard. She had been under too much pressure during this period.

"It's ok."

Green waved his hand and said, "You're just a tool, so don't try this on me. I'm not interested in loli."

ummm

He glanced at Rimuru. It should be correct, right?

"Aqiu!"

Rimuru sneezed for no apparent reason.

Chapter 177 Decisive Battle

At first, they may have just wanted to get rid of the thorn in the Jura Forest and obtain a large amount of resources here. However, after another offspring of the Pig-Head Emperor was killed, the Pig-Head people went crazy and the city wall came under fierce attack.

Crossbows, catapults, and even antique magic crystal cannons that were found from nowhere, all the firepower was directed at the defenders on the city wall. In addition, the pig-headed people seemed to be in a frenzy and attacked the city wall at the cost of death, which brought great psychological pressure to the defenders for a while.

Fortunately, Green was well prepared. He urgently mobilized a batch of city defense weapons early on. Thanks to the money he made and the development of trade routes, he also stockpiled a lot of these weapons that were difficult to make.

The crossbows on the city wall kept firing, and the catapults followed suit, which actually beat the Pig-headed People so hard that they were heartbroken. In just one week, the number of Pig-headed People killed and wounded exceeded 10,000, and for the Pig-headed People with weak medical conditions, being seriously injured meant death.

Moreover, the total number of troops is about 100,000. According to the IQ of the pig-headed people, they should be on the verge of collapse, and the siege will fall apart by itself.

however

City wall

"What a trouble! As expected, beasts have their advantages. This is going to be a bit troublesome."

Green frowned as he looked at the terrifying scene. These pig-headed people were attacking the city while organizing a special army to carry the corpses back.

What to do after moving back?

The answer was clear from the thick smoke drifting over the camp opposite and the faint aroma of meat.

These guys actually cooked and ate their own people?

This is too fucking cruel. The death of a fellow tribesman seems to have no effect on morale. They can even bring the corpses of their own tribesmen back to eat with their meals. It is so horrifying. To some extent, even modern elite troops may not be able to match it.

What Khorne?

This is also the difficult part of the other world. If it were in modern times, a force that did not collapse if more than 30% of them were killed or injured would be considered an extremely elite force. But when it comes to the pig-headed people on the opposite side and the goblins they had met before, Green believes that they can probably defeat them even if the number is more than half.

"I really didn't expect these pig-headed people to eat the corpses of their own kind. It's really hard to imagine. Don't they have any scruples?"

"What should we do? This will never end. How about I just take people out and kill that Pig-Headed Emperor?"

At this moment, the cute king was also a little dusty, with some hatred in his eyes. Although none of her direct subordinates died directly during this period, several of them were seriously injured. However, the number of others who died had already exceeded three digits, and the number of casualties in the city was nearly a thousand.

She even wanted to take the risk of rushing out alone to find the Pig-Head Emperor and chop him up. Theoretically, it was feasible.

"Are you a tiger? I know you are very powerful, but there is no need to rush into reincarnation."

Green is having a headache. You are the big brother and you are not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my tool will be gone?

"Then what's your plan? If I go out now, I can minimize the casualties. I can do this by myself, and it won't involve anyone else.

Rimuru looked at Green seriously, as if to say, "I'm already prepared."

"Wait, don't be impatient."

Green couldn't hold it back any longer. The look in his eyes was serious. This group of time travelers would really seek death if they got carried away, especially those with middle school syndrome like Neon. Once they got sick, no one could stop them. Yet, they looked very conscious.

To be honest, he really couldn't understand it. He was clearly a human before traveling through time. Is it really easy for him to develop feelings with this group of sub-humans?

At least he felt that it was difficult for him to develop emotional connections with the human natives, and this Rimuru was still too well integrated.

"Why not? A lot of people have already died, and as their leader, I did nothing but stand on the city wall and watch them die. I can't do that!!"

Rimuru grabbed Green's collar, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

wipe.

I'm anxious.

"Things haven't reached that point yet. I'll transfer Aqua over to treat some people later. Don't worry for now."

"I will try my best to minimize the loss of personnel. Have you ever thought about how these people would be affected if the operation failed and you died?"

Green looked at the demihumans on the city wall. Many of them had already turned their eyes here, or had simply heard it.

"Yes! Lord Rimuru, please trust us!"

The demon named Benimaru grinned, revealing his strong biceps, and looked very energetic. He felt that as a subordinate, he should naturally help his master solve problems. He was not dead yet, but asked his master to risk his life to save him. Isn't that too useless?

"But!"

How could this happen? Rimuru's eyes flickered. She had a disagreement with Benimaru some time ago, and now that he said this, she felt a little guilty.

Benimaru's behavior also resonated with many soldiers who had never seen Rimuru's strength and felt that this was completely unnecessary. If the commander died, it would be a complete disaster. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the pig-headed men were a bit difficult to deal with, but they were not at the end of their rope.

But if they knew how powerful Rimuru was, it would be hard to say.

"Yes, yes! Please believe us, Lord Rimuru. There is absolutely no need for you to take any risks!"

"Don't do anything stupid!"

The most prestigious old ghost man, Bai Lao, also followed suit to dissuade him. He had communicated with Green privately and knew that he was a traitor to the subhumans. Although he was loyal to Rimuru, he was also loyal to Green and did everything for the sake of the tribe.

It's okay if Rimuru is alive, but if Rimuru dies, Bai Lao can easily imagine that the human earl Green will find a way to replace him with a more obedient dog, and their special status as a ghost in the Jura Forest will no longer be maintained. The worst possibility is that Green will directly decide not to transport trade goods to the Jura Forest.
