Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the strongest single-unit weapon sold by the Goblins to the outside world."

The Magician, wearing an awkward smile, rubbed his hands while introducing the giant mechanical construct emitting a pungent odor beside him to the Giant Dragon perched on the splendid throne.

"The Goblins call it the War Trampler Type III. You might find its appearance somewhat crude and shoddy.

But with the firearms equipped on the War Trampler, even the weakest Goblin could, in a short time, contend with a Gold Rank warrior. Its role on the battlefield, in particular circumstances, can surpass a fully armed Heavy Knight squad..."

Noah gazed at the mechanical creation before him, revealing a sense of shoddiness everywhere. It was a four-legged, two-armed, and numerous firearms-equipped all-terrain War Mecha, barely humanoid.

Not to mention how crudely this thing named War Trampler was made, Noah also noticed a lot of wooden structures on it, indicating it wasn't made entirely of metal.

Whether it was due to the green-skinned beings being too poor, or overly frugal, or perhaps a mix of both.

In any case, upon first seeing this creation, a culmination of Goblin ingenuity, Noah felt quite speechless, as he couldn't perceive an ounce of the mechanical beauty he anticipated.

Bluntly speaking, this thing felt like a pile of junk pieces cobbled together from usable materials found in a garbage heap.

Because the two mechanical arms with the same function used different materials, and none of the four mechanical legs were identical, yet it could still maintain balance and move.

Most ridiculously, the so-called War Trampler is a series with different models, which must admit, those green-skins have some skill.

"Is the strongest weapon the Goblins sell externally, meaning their internal weapons are even stronger?"

Though in terms of appearance, structure, function, and smell, Noah felt as if the Magician had brought back a pile of junk from the Goblin City tens of thousands of miles away, Noah still had a keen eye to spot the advantages.

This War Tearer exhibited neither a hint of magic power nor elemental fluctuation, nor did it use any decent magic materials. The most expensive material was probably the main framework of refined steel.

Noah estimated that due to the inferior materials used, its upper limit was just sufficient to withstand a Radiant Gold for a short time, after which it would be torn apart into a pile of junk.

However, using "withstand" might insult the transcendents of Radiant Gold Level, as the reason it would take time is likely because dismantling this junk requires a bit of time for transcendents of this level.

Nevertheless, this single-unit weapon from the Goblin has undeniable advantages: firstly, its cost is sufficiently low, considering it was made from such trash—the cost is evident, so how high can the price go?

Secondly, it has low requirements for the operator. If a Goblin can drive it, then a slightly trained mortal should be able to as well.

Lastly, this piece of junk is part of a series product. Once a production line is set up, it can be manufactured on a large scale.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Goblins' strongest self-used single-unit weapon is called the War Tearer Type V, which boasts the battle record of killing a Golden Knight head-on on the battlefield."

The Magician, who was originally introducing eloquently and fluently, hurriedly answered when Noah inquired.

"You didn't bring this model of single-unit weapon back?"

Noah wanted to see the limits of Goblin creations from the West, but upon hearing his inquiry, the Magician, who was in the middle of his introduction, was suddenly stunned, then stammered a bit before answering,

"The Tearer Type V is part of the non-export series; I couldn't buy it..."

"Couldn't buy it? So, you never thought of bringing it back by other means?"

The Golden Dragon looked at the Magician with a peculiar gaze, surprised that among a bunch of ruffians and scoundrels, there was someone as pure-minded as this naive cabbage.

"Your Majesty, the Goblins have installed bombs in all the non-export weapons and equipment. If not acquired through legitimate means, they will explode after leaving a designated area. I don't understand the principle, so I don't dare to plunder recklessly."

The Magician knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained that it wasn't adherence to rules, but indeed those Goblins are so adept with bombs that he dared not act recklessly without understanding the principles.

"So, how much do you know about those Goblins?"

With a barely acceptable reason, Noah let it go for the moment and turned to inquire about the Goblins' origins.

Goblins are a very unique race. In the vast majority of common perception, Goblins, like Goblin Kobolds, are low-level demons with their average combat strength among the lowest in the ranks of inferior creatures.

Special variants among Goblins, such as Bear Goblins and Mountain Goblins, have their place among low-level creatures, but as for higher-level creatures, these variant Goblins cannot make the cut.

But this isn't the most unique thing about Goblins. What sets them apart from all creatures is their disproportionately large heads compared to their weak bodies.

As creatures, such a body structure gives Goblins no competitiveness in the wild, but as intelligent beings, the great brain capacity of Goblins grants them extraordinary intelligence.
