Kael let out a cold snort, "Now that the intelligence report on the Barbarians has been obtained, there’s no need for further delay."
After all, the Barbarians were the main fighting force of the northern wastelands. It was now almost certain that the conflict between the two sides was sparked by the group of Totems hiding in the northern wastelands, which made the situation quite interesting.
The group first skirted a complex network of underground passages, then switched to a water route, and it took them nearly 20 minutes to follow the waterway into Wandong City, hidden deep within a cave.
Seeing Wandong City standing tall among countless giant pillars, the group marveled at its splendor, and via the moat encircling it, they entered this special area that had long vanished from the sight of many players.
...
At this ti, inside Wandong City, the glow emitted by Magic Lamps made the entire city seem almost resplendent.
Kael, the great savior who had personally saved Wandong City, always encountered goblins eagerly greeting him while he walked the streets.
"Lord!"
"Good day, Lord Kael!"
"Lord Kael, this is a new fruit cultivated from our soilless farming base. Take it! It’s really delicious!"
Throughout his walk, Kael didn’t engage in conversation, responding only with a gentle smile and a headshake as a gesture of polite refusal.
Seeing the direction Kael was heading, so of the smarter goblins promptly held back their kin and friends who wanted to approach him.
It didn’t take long for everyone to guess that Kael must now have so urgent matter that required consulting with the upper echelons of Wandong City.
In fact, Kael was already quite anxious inside but still had to maintain a stable deanor on the surface.
After all, the more critical the mont, the less a leader like him could afford to show signs of cowardice or confusion, which could easily lead to misunderstandings among his subordinates.
When Kael arrived at the office building of the Wandong City Goblins’ Union Council, he happened upon a group of goblins having a al.
Among those most familiar to him in Wandong City, such as Dr. Osborne, who used to head the Wandong City Research Institute, was there too.
The goblins’ breakfast was far from what one would call light.
Perhaps because Wandong City had previously faced severe pressure from an Alliance of multiple nations, causing significant problems with its food supply, now that it had co to Lancaster and its basic needs were t, there was a kind of backlash.
Even breakfast had to include so kind of at or fish, as if they feared they would never have the chance to eat it again.
"Lord, would you like to try this savory tofu pudding? It’s delicious and very popular here!"
Dr. Osborne held his cup, gently swaying it, and the savory tofu pudding inside looked quite tempting.
"Sorry, at least with tofu pudding, I personally prefer the sweet variety," Kael rejected without hesitation.
Dr. Osborne looked disappointed, scooped a spoonful of chili from a nearby condint jar, and added it directly into the tofu pudding before stirring gently.
Then he picked up his cup and drank it all at once, licked his lips, still with a hint of chili oil, and said amid Kael’s pained expression,
"That’s enough, now is not the ti for this. I have sothing I want to ask you all."
Kael took a seat on a small stool, organized his thoughts, and said,
"Has our Wandong City, or rather the forr goblin empire, ever clashed with the Titan Giants?"
"Do you need technical support concerning the hunting of the Titan Giants?" Dr. Osborne asked in surprise.
"Yes, a Barbarian Priest has sohow obtained a Titan Giant’s juvenile and turned it into an Undead. It’s now causing trouble at the edge of our territory!"
"Asking about such matters won’t be of any use. You should ask the engineering departnt," Dr. Osborne shook his head.
"Is there a difference? Usually, in order for the goblin engineering departnt to develop equipnt for everyone, they also need to have your theoretical technical support, right?
Do we still need to make a special inquiry about the relevant issues?"
"No, it’s not the sa, Lord. For the staff at our research institution, because many research directions are too specialized, we don’t thoroughly understand or investigate equipnt that requires extensive schematics, and the knowledge of an individual is not so comprehensive.
Or to put it in terms you can understand, nowadays, the goblins who work on the front lines of Magic Research are mostly middle-aged and young goblins, to ensure creativity and work intensity.
This inevitably leads to an issue where we do not delve into and examine many of the theoretical studies that have been completed by our predecessors.
Not to ntion proposing imdiate production and improvent. Most of that is managed by the contractors themselves."
God damn contractors!
Kael felt sowhat at a loss for words.
"I always feel like you’re implying that your researchers are younger, and those in the engineering departnt are older than you."
"Ah, you noticed, huh? Well, it’s not exactly an insinuation!"
Dr. Osborne scratched his head and said, "Although the engineering departnt does require so inspiration, compared to scientific research, it’s more about the accumulation of experience and technical expertise.
To be realistic, in their industry, the older you get, the richer your experience becos, and the more in demand you are."
