I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

When Zhang Wei and his team of diamond-level adventurers arrived at the military fortress of the Goblin Army, they found that it was deserted. Zhang Wei looked at the charred wooden walls of the fortress and knew that they were not only late, but also lost the whereabouts of the Goblin Army.

Zhang Wei was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he went into the fortress with the diamond-level adventurer team to look for clues that the goblin army might have left behind, but they found nothing. Just then, Zhang Wei and his team heard a sound coming from outside, so they cautiously went outside.

At the first encounter, both sides were shocked by each other, but Zhang Wei soon discovered that the people coming were actually Takemoto Nami's team.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

Zhang Wei and Takemoto Nami spoke in unison, and both sides lifted the alert.

It turned out that after Nami Takemoto and others completed the task of clearing out the goblin's nest, the Earl was still worried, so he issued a new task, which was to find out other situations in the Earl's territory and prevent such things from happening again.

"Then why did you come to the Marquis's territory?" Zhang Wei asked.

At this time, Yabe Masako spoke up: "It's because we want to upgrade your Dalinmu Guild. We encountered a group of goblins. After seeing us, they did not attack us, but turned around and ran away. Xiaomei thought there was something wrong, so she led us to chase them. After we wiped them out nearby, we found this place, so we came here to investigate what was going on."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Wei did not expect that Takemoto Nami and the others were willing to help the people of the Dalinmu Guild upgrade, so he quickly expressed his gratitude.

But Yabe Masako didn't buy it. She said, "It's not hard, it's life that's hard. If you pay the fee, life won't be hard anymore."

Nami Takemoto was afraid that Zhang Wei would be embarrassed, so she quickly touched Yabe Masako's slender waist gently, and then said to Zhang Wei: "Lolita and the others are on guard outside. If there is nothing to find here, let's go out."

"Okay." After Zhang Wei said that, the group walked out of the ruins.

After meeting up with Lolita and the others, Zhang Wei told everyone about the goblin army's siege of the city and another goblin army looting the village.

Takemoto Nami and the others were very surprised, because the kingdom's restrictions on technology meant that only the Marquisate in the entire kingdom could have a teleportation array, and the various lords below the Marquisate not only had no teleportation array in their cities, but even military intelligence needed to be transmitted by people. In addition, the kingdom restricted the use of horses, so even if the Marquis wanted to pass the message to the Earl, he could only use people's legs and not horses.

This is also why the old man said before that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, because it takes too long to transmit the message.

Zhang Wei guessed that after the goblin army set fire to the things they couldn't take away, they would go to join the goblin tribe with the hotbed room. The main reason why Zhang Wei couldn't determine the whereabouts of the goblin army was that they didn't see any flames or smoke columns caused by burning when they came. He couldn't determine the time when the goblins set the fire, so he couldn't speculate on the whereabouts of the goblin army.

Nami Takemoto and others also helped to speculate, but to no avail.

In view of this situation, Zhang Wei decided to head straight to the location of the goblin tribe, so that he might catch up with the goblin army on the way. Zhang Wei didn't know that he underestimated the intelligence of the goblins, which led to his wrong judgment.

Nami Takemoto and the others did not choose to act with Zhang Wei, because this time they were actually crossing the border, but they also had the excuse of chasing monsters. If they continued to go deeper into the Marquisate with Zhang Wei, big problems might arise.

So, after a brief encounter with Takemoto Nami and others, Zhang Wei said goodbye to them temporarily.

Just as Zhang Wei was marching in a straight line towards the Goblin Tribe, he didn't know that the Goblin army was not far from him. They would go south to harass the villages on the border between the Marquisate and the Earldom, and then head west to join the Goblin Tribe.

Likewise, the goblin tribe did not stay there quietly as Zhang Wei had learned. After taking the opportunity to plunder some villages, they returned to the tribe and headed east to plunder along the way. They would then join up with the goblin army and then find a suitable place to build a nest and establish a new base.

When Zhang Wei and his five companions finally arrived at the original address of the goblin tribe, Zhang Wei swore to burn all the goblins in one second, but the next second he found Centurion Chaudhry and his men walking out of the semi-underground building.

“???” Zhang Wei looked confused.

Centurion Chaudhuri saw Zhang Wei's dishevelled appearance and sneered, "Did the Marquis give you money to let you wander around? Did you wipe out the Goblin army?"

Zhang Wei didn't say anything. He knew that Centurion Chaudhry saw that they had not completed the mission and was deliberately mocking them.

"Tsk, rubbish." Centurion Chaudhry took the opportunity to scold Zhang Wei, and then led his men towards the direction of Laza City.

"What should we do?" The captain of the diamond-level adventurer team asked Zhang Wei. They had suffered a lot these days, but in the end they got nothing.

Zhang Wei thought about it and felt that something was fishy. He didn't have the third eye and didn't have a God's perspective. Now there was also a problem with Shen Mudan's intelligence. He could only choose to go back to the city to see what was going on.

This time, Zhang Wei suddenly felt that there were things that were beyond his ability. It was like he had punched hard but ended up hitting fluffy and soft cotton. The deep feeling of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable.

Lazar City, Marquis's Palace

Although Centurion Chaudhry slandered Zhang Wei again, saying that Zhang Wei was not doing his job well and was running around and wasting time, the Marquis knew that Zhang Wei had tried his best when he saw Zhang Wei's sloppy appearance.

Considering that Zhang Wei's help would be needed in the future, the Marquis comforted him with kind words and let Zhang Wei wash up and rest first.

After Zhang Wei left, the Marquis asked Centurion Chaudhry to call the old man over as he wanted to hold a small meeting.

"Sir, I've heard everything." After the old man walked into the room, he continued, "You still want to ask the Duke for help, right?"

"Don't you think it's not the right time? Chaudhry said that the tribe is very large and there should be a lot of goblins. Now another goblin army has disappeared. If they take root in the territory, there will be endless troubles in the future." The Marquis was anxious. He felt sorry for the people in the territory, not because he was merciful, but because in his eyes these people were items that could "generate" money. The goblin's looting would destroy his money-making machine. How could he not be anxious?

"Sir, don't forget that the Duke has always wanted to encroach on your territory to expand his. If you ask him for help now, you can certainly easily solve the current difficulties, but then the Duke will once again ask you to exchange territory with Marquis Boyan Reva. It's called an exchange, but in fact it's ceding land, and you have no land to cede. Do you really want to become the first marquis in the history of the kingdom without a territory?" The old man was so angry that he smashed his cane on the ground.

After hearing this, the Marquis sighed...
