The Witcher: Darkness Falls

After Zivar finished speaking, not only Maddison, but even Lyon fell silent.

In his impression, there seems to be no humanoid race with such a short reproduction cycle. The only ones that can be compared with it are insectoid monsters.

Because most insect-like monsters are oviparous, hatched from eggs laid by the mother.

Humanoid monsters are basically born alive just like humans. Not only can the number of babies a mother can carry at one time be very small, but the gestation period is also not too short.

And what Zivar said next was even more shocking.

"These hybrids have no so-called breeding season, they are in estrus all the time, and they will mate with almost any female.

But all those born were goblins without exception, the only difference was their body size.

For example, if you mate with a troll, you'll get a hobgoblin. If you mate with a dwarf or a gnome, you'll get a goblin that's good at digging holes. If you mate with an elf, you'll get a goblin that's good at jumping. And so on."

Zival showed a malicious smile on his face and asked: "Did you see any human female body parts at the scene?"

Madison's face turned green instantly and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He recalled that he had indeed not seen any body parts of a human female.

He had seen male heads with half of their skulls bitten off and their brains eaten, and even genitals that had been bitten so that only the glans was left.

But I did not see any female characteristics on that piece of limb!

He thought they were all eaten by the monsters, but he didn't expect...

"These damn bastards!" Madison said gritting his teeth.

Zivar did not forget to add: "If female creatures fall into their hands, they will be gang-raped and give birth over and over again!"

"Stop talking!" Madison glared at the dwarf fiercely.

The dwarf didn't care, but he would definitely be very angry if he were in his place.

Leon was silent and calm. He was even thinking in his heart that this was probably the main factor that allowed the dwarves to join forces with the elves and spend hundreds of years to destroy the goblins.

No intelligent race would tolerate the women of their own race being insulted in this way.

"Of course, we dwarves don't have any accurate written records on this aspect. These are just legends passed down from generation to generation.

In the past, we were not keen on recording history, much later than the elves, but most of the elves' history has been passed down in the form of poetry.

Look at it in a positive light, maybe the situation is not as bad as I said. "Zivar comforted Madison.

Madison certainly couldn't let it go. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he had already seen the reproduction speed of the goblins. In just over a month, the number of people who died here had doubled!

"I have important news to report to the Earl! After you have collected all the bodies, burn the rest!" Madison shouted, "I don't want these bastards to ferment here and cause a damn plague!"

Then he said to Leon and Zival in an earnest tone: “I implore you to come with me to see the Earl and explain the seriousness of the matter.

After all, we know nothing about goblins, and your race exterminated them."

Leon didn't care. Zival nodded and agreed to the other party's request. But before that, he emphasized: "First of all, all my knowledge comes from my father, and my father's knowledge comes from my grandfather, so it may not be reliable!"

Madison didn't care about these, he just wanted to find the count and report everything.

"Take this with you, our friend is not out of trouble yet." Leon said as he stretched out his hand and picked up the body of the goblin leader.

Otik and his companions were on their way to Grampian. If they could take the body of the goblin leader to find the earl, the other party would soon understand that it was not the dwarves who caused these tragedies.

"Okay!" Madison nodded.

The three of them found their respective mounts. Even the dwarves despised goblins, so Leon had to carry its corpse.

Leon was holding the body of the goblin leader and wanted to tie it behind the horse's butt, but when he threw it on the horse's back, he suddenly found something unusual behind the other's neck.

“This is…” Leon looked at it carefully.

"What are you still looking at? Let's go!" Zival shouted as he rode by.

"Wait a minute!" Leon adjusted the angle of the goblin leader's neck and found that there was a nameplate there!

"I've made a new discovery. Look!" Leon pointed at the nameplate on the back of the goblin leader's neck and said, "'Ryan, humanoid, EX, GBL-011'. Does anyone know what it means?"

Madison rode forward, suppressed his nausea, picked up the body of the goblin leader and looked at it carefully.

Finally, he said puzzledly: "I saw 'EX', which is the abbreviation of 'extinction', and the number should be behind it."

The dwarf also came forward and guessed with a frown: "GBL should also be the abbreviation of Goblin. As for the number behind it, it should be the eleventh one."

"Goblin?" Madison was puzzled.

The dwarf explained: "It's a goblin. Goblin is a goblin. Do you understand?"

As soon as the dwarf's words came out, the atmosphere became noticeably more solemn.

This means there are at least eleven of these things? !

"Soldiers! Come and check! See if any other bastards have this!" Madison yelled.

The soldiers around gathered around, memorized the nameplate, and then went to look for it elsewhere.

Lyon and Zivar also helped.

Soon, they turned over the bodies on the ground but did not find any nameplates.

Zival suddenly said, "As far as I know, this thing should mean experimental subjects. Dwarves, elves, and even human wizards, alchemists, etc., as long as they have their own laboratories, they will give their experimental subjects numbers."

Lyon thought for a moment and said, "Then Ryan is most likely the name of a place, and humanoid is obvious, a type of goblin."

"Ryan could also be the researcher's name. Many people like to stamp their test objects with their own names." Zivar said, "It's just like when we forge weapons, we mark the generation or year of production and who forged it."

Leon looked at Madison, who handed the goblin leader back with a gloomy face and said, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know where Ryan is, but there are at least 800 people named Ryan in Grampian.

Let's go, don't waste time, we're going to Grampian Castle, we have to report this matter..."

He didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what he meant.

If this unique goblin represents Subject 11, and it can lead hundreds of other goblins, then there are at least ten such goblins in existence.

How many goblins do they have under their command?

Madison shuddered at the thought.

After Lyon tied up the goblin leader, he rode his horse with Zival and followed Madison to Granbian.

The horses' hooves splashed water everywhere, and they were moving so fast that they even caught up with the convoy that was about to arrive in Grampian.

"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!" Madison shouted.

"But Commander Madison, according to the rules..."

"Fuck your rules, I have urgent business! These people must come with me to see the Earl! If there is anything, let Winster come to me! Get out of here!" Madison yelled angrily.

The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to offend him and had to let the convoy pass.

Finally, at Ottic's strong request, he and Lyon entered Grampian Castle to look for the count.

The others found a hotel and settled down temporarily.
