The dragon just wants to stay at home, but the players are frantically upgrading their technology.

As he spoke, Zhan Shuai walked to the blacksmith shop next to the huge waterwheel and waved to Cang.

"Come quickly, I've prepared something good for you."

Cang walked over slowly.

The blacksmith shop was very simple, drafty on all sides, with only a roof, a brick stove, and a weapons cabinet.

There are seven goblin blacksmiths, one dragonblood warrior, and three new players inside.

The most eye-catching thing in the blacksmith's shop is a power hammer made of wood and iron, connected to a waterwheel.

A player is making something there.

The waterwheel rotates, driving the power hammer via a linkage structure.

The heavy hammer slammed down, landing on the hot, rough blank with a deafening roar.

"Huo! General! What you want is over there."

When the Dragonblood Warriors saw the War Commander, they smiled, wiped the sweat from their brows, and pointed to the stone platform beside them.

He then continued hammering the steel billet in his hand.

Cang followed Zhan Shuai over.

On the stone platform lay a dagger that gleamed with a cold, sharp light.

The dagger has a bloodletting groove carved into its blade, and the rear section is made of solid wood and wrapped in leather.

Cang's breathing became heavy. He reached out and picked up the blade, his fingertips tracing the cold edge.

"The feel, the weight, it's incredible, it's practically indistinguishable from the real thing."

Cang smiled as he skillfully twirled the knife.

"It's rare that the team leader... still remembers the weight distribution of my sword, but..."

As he spoke, a mocking expression appeared on Cang's face: "The center of gravity of a kobold's body is still quite different from that of a human."

"Um...then I'll have a bunch of Qs play another game for you."

Zhan Shuai looked embarrassed and extended his hand.

"No, I like it very much."

Cang sheathed his dagger and shook his head.

What can I do in the camp?

His gaze shifted to the new player who was forging a weapon, and Cang asked.

"Do what you do best."

Zhan Shuai also noticed Cang's gaze and immediately spoke.

He knew Cang's character well; he wouldn't accept charity-style help.

"And there's training new recruits and building your own special forces team."

Before Cang could answer, Zhan Shuai patted Cang on the shoulder and chuckled.

"Didn't you always want to replace me? Now you're the captain!"

"Row!"

Cang nodded, his voice calm but revealing suppressed excitement.

"I'll help you find players who are interested in this area, and the training will be your responsibility."

"And the goblins, I think they have good potential. Once you've completely tamed them, you can train them too."

The two chatted as they walked away.

Night falls.

The new players found their place in the camp, filling the gaps in the camp's technical talent pool.

With the shortage of technical talent being filled, the development of player camps has once again accelerated.

Especially in weaponry, steel, and industry.

With the camp's iron needs met, they began to focus on forging weapons and armor.

These weapons and armors flowed to the first batch of Dragonblood Warriors to play with, and in time, even ordinary kobold players were able to equip themselves with iron armor and iron weapons.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one.

Three days after the second batch of players was summoned, a group of kobolds with multicolored scales arrived.

They were led by an old kobold priest.

The group consisted of five dragonblood warriors with scales of different colors and fifteen ordinary kobolds.

The kobold group headed towards the goblin lair.

However, they were discovered by the players who had taken on the sentry mission when they were still fifty miles away.

A new player revealed a weakness, which was noticed by the kobold team.

The veteran players immediately suppressed the restless new players and led them to retreat.

"return!"

A kobold covered in red scales tried to give chase, but was stopped by an old kobold priest.

The dog-headed human priest stared thoughtfully at the players fleeing towards the goblin lair.

Immediately, without any attempt to conceal themselves, they swaggered towards the goblin's lair.

Chapter 28 You've Got into Big Trouble

Outside the goblin nest.

Upon receiving the message, Zhan Shuai and most of the Dragonblood Warrior players arrived here with their weapons.

Two of the players were even wearing newly made armor.

"Didn't we mess with goblins? Why are a bunch of kobolds showing up?"

His expression was one of doubt, as he spoke of justice.

"I do not know either!"

Upon discovering this news, the Dragonblood Warrior player scratched his head.

"Are you sure they spotted you but didn't give chase? And they didn't try to cover their tracks?"

Zhan Shuai frowned and asked again to confirm.

"Yes! A red dragonblood warrior tried to chase after it, but was stopped."

The player nodded, recounted the situation, and then offered his opinion.

"I think these kobolds came with good intentions."

Listening, Zhan Shuai seemed to be deep in thought, and raised his head.

"Then let's proceed according to the previously agreed plan, lure them into the trap, and then decide whether to catch them in the trap."

No one else objected.

This forest has now become their home ground.

Those colorful kobolds can come in easily, but they'll have a hard time leaving.

Before long, Zhan Shuai spotted the kobold group in the distance.

On the mountain path outside the goblin lair, an old kobold appeared.

His back was hunched, and he held a staff made from the leg bone of an unknown beast.

Behind him were rows of colorful kobolds, heads held high, striding arrogantly.

These kobolds, just as the sentry had said, had scales of various colors on their bodies.

The kobold dressed as a priest was no exception.

Its naked body is covered with scales of various colors.

"Is this a dog-headed version of Calabash Brothers?"

One player glanced at the five dragonblood warriors behind the kobold priest and muttered to himself.

Although the five dragonblood warriors had colorful scales on their bodies, they were not evenly distributed.

They have a lot of scales of a certain color, and they are clustered together, while they have very few scales of other colors.

From a distance, it appears to display five colors: red, green, blue, yellow, and cyan.

"That's not right! They're still missing the second brother's orange color and the seventh brother's purple color."

The players stood on both sides, whispering amongst themselves, yet maintaining an orderly stance.

As the group of colorful kobolds approached, the players stopped and put on serious expressions.
