_4 645: Chapter 339: Escaping?
_4 Zhou Tian had thought that everything was within his calculations and that no matter how much the goblins struggled, they would eventually fall into his hands.
However, reality contradicted his expectations.
After Zhou Tian fought the goblins again for a while, he quickly felt a change in the Goblin Main City.
Originally, the escape of the goblin airship team should have greatly boosted their morale.
Because of this, the goblins should have put up a stronger fight, making Zhou Tian’s task of capturing them much harder.
Nevertheless, the situation at the ti was exactly the opposite of what Zhou Tian had expected.
Long after the goblin airships had left, for reasons unknown, the goblins’ performance was actually worse than before.
Zhou Tian didn’t feel it at the beginning because he hadn’t launched a full-scale attack, but as ti went on, he noticed that the attack intensity of the Goblin Main City had unknowingly decreased by more than half.
Upon realizing the changes in the Goblin Main City, Zhou Tian naturally would not naively believe it was just by chance.
It was clear that there must be a reason for such changes on the goblin’s side.
Though Zhou Tian didn’t care much about the resistance of the goblins, he did not dare underestimate them either.
Since changes had occurred in the Goblin Main City, Zhou Tian felt the need to understand the reasons for such changes.
Unexpectedly, this didn’t take long.
As soon as he started thinking about it, Zhou Tian quickly thought of a possibility.
“Could they have fled?” After the goblin airships had set off, Zhou Tian had only been thinking about the goblins using those war weapons to transport magic crystals.
He had even made a few jokes at the goblins’ expense since their actions, despite his failed attempt to stop them, never posed a threat to his plans.
Because he thought he knew what the goblins were thinking, when they decided to act, Zhou Tian didn’t bother stopping them.
For, in his view, given his current control over the continent, the goblins wouldn’t have been able to harvest many magic crystals even if they managed to get so.
Zhou Tian intended to wait for the return of the goblin airships so that he could launch a massive attack.
He believed that with sufficient preparation, he could retain most of the goblin airships in their airspace upon their return.
However, when making these plans, Zhou Tian had never considered the possibility that the real purpose of the goblins’ breakthrough was not to gather magic crystals.
Perhaps, seeing their inevitable defeat, the goblin leaders were prepared to retreat.
In fact, those aboard the goblin airships were the top brass of the goblin clan.
Thus, their sudden departure could be the reason behind the drastic drop in the Goblin Main City’s attack power.
Upon realizing this possibility, Zhou Tian imdiately panicked.
While the escape of the goblin leaders may not affect his plans to unify the continent, the goblin leaders, if they were able to escape on the airships, would surely be able to re-establish themselves elsewhere in the future.
As far as revenge from the goblins was concerned, Zhou Tian wasn’t very worried.
After all, his power was expanding day by day.
Even if the goblins managed to rise again, the chances are slim they could retaliate by the ti they were ready.
Considering the goblin character, Zhou Tian wasn’t concerned about any intense revenge from them.
However, there was a reason why Zhou Tian was so persistent in pursuing the goblins, and this reason was precisely why he was upset about the possible escape of the goblin leaders.
Not ntioning how much territory the goblins held or how strong they were, the goblins themselves could be considered a treasure that could drive any monster team crazy.
Each goblin is a craftsman.
Most professions related to life skills are very common among the goblins, apart from the manual labor occupations.
Such a situation is hardly seen among other monster groups.
A goblin could not survive without the ability to develop weapons.
That is to say, once Zhou Tian manages to capture the goblins, every goblin, after changing its occupation, will beco a craftsman with a life skill.
Zhou Tian knows all too well how scarce monsters with life skills are.
Despite his huge efforts, he has consistently had very few craftsn on his team.
Under such circumstances, he can imagine what it would an to take over a goblin force: he would imdiately have a large number of craftsn at his disposal.
Furthermore, because these goblins have already reached a certain level of developnt, taking them over would also an acquiring several weapon production lines.
Considering their ability to develop weapons, the goblins themselves are far more valuable than their territories.
