I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 76 Dragon Horse

Are knights not considered nobles?

Li Mosi was somewhat surprised.

It can't be that the saintess is too powerful and subconsciously expelled the "lower-class nobles" from the ranks of the nobility, right?

The two disciples were also a little confused.

My teacher just said that knights are clearly nobles, so why doesn't the saintess count them?

The saintess was somewhat smug.

"The nobles recognized by the Church of Light, besides the king, are only dukes, earls, marquises, viscounts, and barons."

"It's only because such remote places can't support many cavalry that knights are also considered nobles, and they are given a piece of land to support themselves."

Li Mosi suddenly realized: "So it was the Church of Light that set the rules to prevent nobles from entering the ruins of the divine war?"

The saintess nodded and agreed, "That's right."

Zi'an asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly willing to talk to us so nicely?"

For some reason, she suddenly asked about it.

But after she mentioned it, Li Mosi and Zi Yi also became a little curious.

The saintess, who had never done anything serious before, suddenly became serious.

She began, "Regardless of whether a knight is a nobleman or not, for a baron to do such a thing is an unforgivable crime. It would be best to let him know how dangerous the forbidden area is."

Although she appeared righteous and indignant, Li Mosi saw in her the keywords she had been paying the most attention to these past few days.

"Planning".

Hagi Saint must be holding something in his heart.

In fact it is.

Although the saintess still does not know who her enemy is, it is certainly not appropriate for her to appear in front of other nobles rashly now, and it is best not to spread any news.

Unless a sufficiently trustworthy and powerful member of the cult comes to her, the enemy may discover her again.

It's hard to say whether I'll even survive by then!

In addition, she was being supported by a descendant of an overseas nobleman who had fallen on hard times and become a craftsman in the manor. It would be best if the goblins could drive these guys away.

As long as the status quo is maintained, she will have time to look for a turning point.

They even tried to rebuild the divine magic connection!

But if the nobles were allowed to venture deep into the ruins of the divine war, or even offend the Silver Dragons...

Seeing that Haji Saint remained silent, Li Mosi turned to Zi Yi and asked, "How many pickaxes, shovels, hoes, and axes do we have now?"

All the tools were inventoried by Ziyi, the person in charge of the tribe.

"Master, let me think..."

Zi Yi counted on his fingers.

"There are seven pickaxes, six shovels, twelve hoes, and those guys brought back quite a few axes today, so there are more than twenty now."

It can be seen that Ziyi's tribe was quite wealthy during its heyday.

Li Moss nodded: "We have about two days to prepare for battle. The enemy will have about a dozen slave hunters and two powerful knights, plus more than twenty slaves."

He briefly described the current situation and then asked his two disciples, "What are your thoughts on the upcoming battle?"

As always, Li Mosi first let his disciples think for themselves.

Zi Yi was already familiar with this pattern, and he knew that his master must have a solution.

He boldly suggested, "We can do what we did last time: first, build a fake outpost down the mountain, then we go out and scout out their location. Finally, we'll get ready and wait for them to charge in."

Goblins are indeed goblins.

The saintess frowned and said, "Isn't this exactly the same as last time? You don't think that being able to deal with one bear-orc is enough to deal with a knight, do you? And where did you find the time to build a stronghold that can withstand a knight's charge?"

"Hey!" Zi'an suddenly raised his voice, "That knight is still just a human! How could he be stronger than me?!"

Although the saintess frowned, there was a hint of...helplessness in her expression?

"Their bodies are twice as strong as those of ordinary people, and they also possess magically crafted metal armor and enormous iron swords."

If she were to retaliate verbally as she had done before, Zi'an wouldn't think much of it.

But she couldn't stand the way she was being looked at.

Considering that the other side was at least helping them, she couldn't very well intervene.

So she changed the subject: "Ziyi, before the last battle, did you and our master already know the team's location?"

Zi Yi answered, "Yes, two days before you arrived, my late master and I saw smoke coming from your cooking. We went over and secretly took a look."

Zi'an then looked at Li Mosi.

Li Moss said, "You were searching the lowlands, so we had a lot of time to prepare."

Zi'an fell into thought.

But her words reminded Li Mosi.

"Ziyi, this time is different from last time."

Zi Yi realized what Li Mosi meant when she reminded him.

This time, the other side knew about their existence!

Zi'an nodded in agreement: "I didn't notice it at all last time, but this time we're chasing after goblins, so it definitely can't be the same."

Li Moss asked, "So why did you rush over here last time?"

Li Mosi still finds the slave-catching team's fighting style puzzling.

He just stood there, standing there, slowly walking within a hundred meters, and then he charged straight ahead.

The saintess also found it strange.

But what she found strange was different from what Li Mosi found strange.

In her view, "light infantrymen putting on their equipment two hundred paces away and then charging within one hundred paces" is a normal method of combat.

That is indeed the way nobles fight.

But shouldn't we hunt goblins?

"Last time... Lasso thought the goblins..."

Zi'an recalled wanting to answer, but then looked at Zi Yi with a drawn-out voice.

She recalled the words of the slave-catching captain, Lasso, and felt they were rather impolite.

Zi Yi waved his hand: "I'm not an ordinary goblin, you tell me."

Zi'an nodded and continued.

"The slave-catching team had already killed hundreds of goblins, and the captain of the slave-catching team, Lasso, didn't think goblins were that powerful. Besides, after I put on that armor, the goblins couldn't hurt me either. So they thought they could fight them however they wanted."

Inside the cave, the three people outside Zi'an all nodded.

Can understand.

Zi'an's charge was indeed unstoppable if the pole hadn't hit his head.

Based on the information brought back by the big-eyed goblin, Li Mosi suddenly realized that Zian's role seemed somewhat similar to that of a heavy cavalryman.

That's really impressive.

Zi'an ignored the three people's gazes and continued speaking while looking up at the ceiling.

"At the time, Lasso judged that the goblins here were probably a group of unfamiliar goblins who already lived here. He said that these goblins cared a lot about their territory and were not like the goblins they had initially hunted who would easily run away."

"So he deliberately followed the three goblins at a leisurely pace, until they were close to the place where they had fought before. Only then did he put on his armor, and the battle was then led by the Baron's guard, Zwan."

So wild...

Li Mosi finally understood why the last battle had been so abstract.

Captain Lasso's judgment was correct; he was simply too complacent.

Zi Yi turned to look at Li Mosi and asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

"There are three things we need to do to counter the enemy."

Li Mosi then held up three fingers.

"The terrain is different to the north. The passage where the fake stronghold is located is narrower than to the south. If more than fifty people rush up, they will definitely try to climb the slope. We need to find a way to restrict and lure them towards us."

"This time, the enemy includes two knights. They will charge from a greater distance than the last group, so we need to dig a pit to stop them. According to the goblins who returned, the two knights are wearing metal armor, and their horses shouldn't be able to cross the obstacle."

The saintess objected.

"That can't be right? You haven't seen the 'Dragon Horse' used by the knights?"
