Chapter 28: Idiots, You Are Fooled

In the ruins of Florence.
Green-skinned goblins were scattered everywhere. They sat in groups of two or three. Some were sleeping. Some were heating a cauldron on a bonfire, which gave off an indescribable smell. Some were playing with the soil together…
Four elves and a “human girl” were lying down on a clump of grass nearby. They were the special attack team members who lurked there after constructing the teleportation circle.
Looking at the ruins that collapsed yet was still magnificent in the distance, Little Salty Meow could not help but exclaim,
“That is Florence… I cannot imagine how beautiful the intact city would be.”
Cuckoo Bird closed her eyes and listened with her ear tilted to one side. Her expression became serious.
“There are a lot of goblins. Apart from these goblins we have seen, I cannot hear how many goblins are hidden in the ruins. Besides, there are some powerful creatures that are probably at Iron levels. One of the powerful creatures is very cold in a horrible way. It makes me feel very scared.”
“Psst–”
On hearing this, the chosen ones took a breath of cold air.
“Fortunately, we didn’t let the players swarm the city, otherwise all of them would have been destroyed.”
Box Meal said seriously.
Li Mu patted Demacia on the shoulder and said,
“Demacia, act according to the plan. The three goblins are playing with soil there. I feel that they are not powerful and their equipment is poor. None of them seemed to reach level ten. It’s up to you to lure the monsters here!”
Demacia, “…”
He managed an ugly smile.
“I… Can I not go?”
“No.”
The four said at the same time.
Demacia, “…”
“Ah, let it be. The wind is rustling and the water is cold…”
Demacia gave up the struggle. He flicked the long air he got through Transfiguration and stood up from the grass.
…
On the edge of the ruins.
Three goblins sat together, played with clods of dirt happily, and laughed strangely from time to time.
All of a sudden, a stone came flying from behind. Straight and direct, it just hit one of the goblins on the head.
Boom! Blood was sprayed.
The goblin hit by the stone was knocked to the ground in an instant.
It stood up and looked around, only to meet the gaze of a companion.
It immediately got angry. It groaned and struck the companion’s head, which made the other goblin freeze.
Then the two goblins scuffled…
Boom!
Boom!
Another two stones came flying through the air and hit the two goblins’ head with excellent precision.
The third goblin stood up with its eyes wide open, pointed to a distant place and yelled, “Ah ah.”
The two goblins were attracted by their companion’s voice, stopped their movements immediately, and looked at where the third goblin pointed at…
Tens of meters away from the ruins.
An enchanting woman was leaning on an ancient tree, playing with her hair curls and stroking her thigh.
When “she” saw the three goblins looking towards her, she winked at them, licked her lips, and stretched out her hand to make a kissing gesture. 1
The three goblins’ eyes were immediately fixated on her.
At this moment, their simple brains started the most complicated calculation for a goblin to have.
Head + two legs + upright posture + nice clothes = human beings
Human beings + XX + XX = Women
Women = Offspring 1
…
Their eyes immediately brightened, stars could be seen within them.
They took their weapons, croaked, and ran to the “woman”.
As soon as the goblins chased after the woman, she turned and ran towards the forest like a vigorous cheetah.
The goblins did not notice anything was wrong. They followed closely and ran increasingly faster like hooked fish…
After a few minutes, the three goblins finally perceived something was wrong.
This woman ran too fast like an elf, “the child of nature.”
But at this moment, they had already followed the woman to an open area surrounded by lush shrubs and trees.
The woman in front of them suddenly stopped. Turning around, “she” smiled vulgarly and said in a rough, playful voice,
“Idiots, you are fooled.”
After these words, “she” shone and turned into a red-haired elf in a dress–Demacia.
The three goblins saw the transformation and instantly froze.
Before they had time to react, several vines suddenly burst forth from all around them and shot at the three goblins.
It was Li Mu’s skill, Twining Vines.
Then, Cuckoo Bird and Box Meal jumped out of the grass and surrounded the goblins in a triangular formation with Demacia.
“Destroy them!”
Demacia took the wooden knife he had hidden aside and rushed up excitedly.
The three goblins panicked at first, then let out an angry howl. They took their weapons and slashed the vines…
Clank…
To Li Mu’s surprise, the goblins’ scimitars easily cut through the magic vines, while the three players of the strength system were fighting against the goblins.
But the scene turned a bit hectic after they started fighting.
“Damn! Sister Cuckoo Bird, you almost kicked me!”
“Sorry, you blocked me.”
“These goblins have great power!”
“Wait, I seem to have been cut…”
“Curing Minor Injuries!”
“Where is the magic support? Where is Little Salty Meow’s magic support?!”
“I’m coming!”
“Damn, your fireball almost burned me! Can you aim accurately?!”
“Don’t fight too hard! Save your magic and physical strength. Focus on protecting yourselves! Wait for the opportunity to attack! We outnumber them. They cannot drain us of our stamina!”
In actual combat, all plans were invalid. Under the crazy assault of the three goblins, the five players were very unorganized. For quite a while, unexpectedly, they were suppressed.
This was especially true with the three players of the strength system who were fighting at a short distance. Demacia and Cuckoo Bird would have been seriously injured if the agile Box Meal did not help them repeatedly.
But even so, the three people were struggling desperately.
Hiding in the forest nearby, Berserker frowned when he saw all of this.
“It’s a joke that five level ten chosen ones are suppressed by three level eight goblins.”
There was deep disappointment in his voice.
The fact was that goblin was synonymous with stupidity and weakness on the continent of Sagas. For example, it was like a collection of human prejudice against pigs and cockroaches on the blue planet.
On the continent of Sagas, goblin was not only a noun of a species, but also a curse.
“You goblin!” was the greatest insult one could say when provoking intellectual creatures.
It was also the reason why Berserker and Alice were so disgusted when Demacia proposed seduction for their plan.
This was equivalent to letting human beings on the blue planet lure wild boars with themselves as bait, which would still be extremely risky…
“Mother God, it seems that although they are good at construction work, they are not good at fighting. Why do you expect so much from them?”
Berserker knew that Eve was also watching this combat, so he did not hide his doubts.
Eve, who was watching the live-stream, chuckled. Then His majestic voice resounded through Berserker’s mind,
“Don’t worry. Just continue watching them.”
Hearing Eve’s answer, Berserker felt helpless. But he still watched on with a frown.
All right, let the goblins defeat them, lest they would be frivolous all day long.
Gradually, however, the situation seemed to change in a latent way.
