It was a broken spell again! But it was better than nothing. Xiao Yu nodded and was satisfied with the result.
A Goblin Scout rushed in and reported, "Chief! There are many Adventurers outside! We cannot hold our position anymore."
"What? That is so rude! They killed my men and now they are raiding my base?" The Goblin Chief was outraged. "Gather all the Goblins at the center of the base now! Prepare for war! Eric, come with me! We will fight too."
"Yes, Sir! I'll fight bravely for the horde," Xiao Yu said eagerly. However, he was complaining in his heart. Their opponent was a level 47 main account. It would be a suicide mission for them. He decided to make a run for it.
After leaving the tent, he began to scan around. There was only one exit in this camp, and that was the main gate. There were no buildings in here, only the Chief's tent and some bashas. He had nowhere to hide at all! Suddenly, a muddy cave caught his eye. It was a pretty good location because female characters were less likely to go near such dark and filthy places.
It became clear to Xiao Yu why the female Night Elf had decided to let him go. It was to follow him to the base and raid it! The Reputation awarded for destroying a monster camp was decent. It was likely that this camp would not last.
He waited for his chance and then quickly made a dash to the cave and hid.
It was very damp and there were frogs jumping around. Xiao Yu ignored these animals and walked deep into the cave, where he saw two faces.
One of them was a Goblin Scout and the other one was a Goblin Warrior. They were playing… poker?
Xiao Yu was speechless. It was so damn weird. He believed that he had seen them around and talked to them before.
"Oh? Why are you here?" one of the Goblins asked. "Are you a player?"
"Yeah. You too?"
Xiao Yu asked curiously. He had thought that he was the only player in the camp. It turned out that he had some companions.
The two Goblins nodded. "There are some Adventurers outside, and when we went to check, it was a level 47 account! We had no choice but to hide here. This is great, why don't you join us?"
Xiao Yu sighed and sat down. "Seems like you guys are clever too. What's the bet?"
The war (a slaughter actually) was getting heated up outside, and the main culprit of the attack was hiding in a cave playing poker with other Goblins!
The Goblins showed their bravery and courage facing this level 47 Night Elf with Black Dragon Leather Armor. In the end, they were all killed.
Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser wiped her dagger on one of the corpses and said to herself, "What a waste of time. Only 12 reputation? Seriously?"
However, she was expecting this. She was much higher level than them—it was lucky that her reputation was not reduced.
She touched a corpse habitually and a staff appeared in her hand.
Goblin Chief's Staff (Green-Good):
Attack: 5-9
Spell Power: +4
Spirit: +2
Intelligence: +2
Mage Class only
Active: Summon a small Goblin to fight alongside you. Lasts 30 seconds. Cooldown 60 seconds.
There was a small line of yellow description below:
It is a staff commonly used by the Chief Goblin. It's said that it represents the power of Goblins.
That was a surprise.
"Here, it's for you." She threw the weapon to the mage.
She touched Shrek (Goblin Fighter)'s corpse and a giant machete appeared.
Globin Fighter's Blade (Green-Good):
Attack: 8-10
Strength: +1
"That's trash. Anyone want it? If not, I'm throwing it away."
"Wow, this staff is good! What a surprise. Sadly, it was not me that earned the drop," the mage said. She then threw the weapon on the ground.
"What are you doing?"
"Like I said, I want to get my own drops. Otherwise, it is not fun at all. If I want, I can always use cash and get a better weapon. Who needs green equipment?"
Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser was angry, but she smiled. She did not understand the thought process of these RPG players. Why make their lives so troublesome even in game? "Then why am I here babysitting you?"
Tearless shook her head and said, "There are too many outlaws in the game. Hiring you was just to make sure that we could still enjoy the game. Now that the revenge is done, let's go."
The three of them walked out and left.
Region Announcement: Firmament Age 1375, elite Mercenary Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser wiped out the Goblin Camp at Night Whisper Forest. She killed Chief Goblin Craigan. It will be recorded in history.
System prompt message: The leader of the camp is dead. If there is no new leader within the next 24 hours, the camp will be eradicated.
Alas, the camp was going to disappear. Xiao Yu had no choice after hearing this information. He knew how the game was. Every Monster Force had to have a leader. As long as the leader was there, new Goblins would constantly respawn. Conversely, if the leader was gone, the Monster Force would be considered defeated. Within 24 hours, a new leader had to be put in place, or it would be erased by the system. Of course, the camp would not disappear, but it would become the site of other monsters, such as a Bandit camp, a Kobold camp, or a Gnoll camp. In short, it would not be a Goblin camp.
"Let's go. I think the fight is over. Let's think of a way to leave. We might have to move to the other camp. There is a Goblin camp at the west side of Night Whisper Forest."
The three of them started their journey.
After exiting the cave, they were shocked by the view. It was horrifying. There was nothing alive, and even the level 1 small Goblins were not spared.
