Nocci was very experienced and had been through many battles so it was completely unexpected for the warriors to be tricked by the goblins. Before the warriors set off, they had specially arranged for soldiers to investigate the surroundings along the way but did not find any goblins in the Bolder Ruins. At this moment, Nocci was extremely angry.
Half of the warrior army’s gold coins and food had been snatched by the goblins, severely weakening the morale of the warrior army.
However, Nocci still led the warrior army towards the Forest of Fog. Even if they lost half of their supplies, they still had enough for the remaining nine thousand warriors to use on the march. They just had to be more frugal. It was more important to complete the task assigned by the king. They would deal with the goblins later.
After the goblins returned to their tribes, they held a feast to celebrate their bountiful harvest. They invited the goblins and elders from the other tribes to drink and eat meat. That night, they sang and danced. It was very lively.
The goblin race was a relatively large race and was split into dozens of tribes. Each tribe had an elder. It was said that in the goblin race, apart from these goblin elders, there was also a Goblin Demon King. However, the Goblin Demon King rarely shows up and does not interact much with the other goblins. The goblins had only heard of the demon king and had no idea where to find him.
Most of the goblins originally lived in the south of the Locke Kingdom and were not within the warrior army’s travel path. However, the goblins continued to plunder, and some of them moved to the southeast area of the Locke Kingdom. These were the goblins who had plundered the supplies of the warrior army.
Two days later, the cavalry sent by Nocci returned to the palace and handed Nocci’s letter to the king of the Locke Kingdom. After reading it, the king was furious and said, “This is simply outrageous. These filthy bandits have humiliated my soldiers and stolen my supplies. I will definitely not let these stinky bandits off the hook.”
Following this, the King gathered the ministers in the army to discuss how to deal with the goblins. All of the ministers in the palace discussed, and soon, a minister stood up and said, “My King, I have a plan for you.”
The minister who stood out had an unfamiliar face, which meant that he had just arrived at the palace not too long ago. When the king saw his face, he was very surprised and could not call out the name of this minister for a moment. Then, he asked, “Oh? What’s your plan? Tell me about it.”
The minister replied, “My King, the goblins are greedy by nature and desire money. They like to plunder rare and precious items like gold, silver, and jewelry. We have arranged for archers to set up an ambush in a low-lying place in advance. Then, we will let the soldiers rush forward and use the gold coins as bait to lure the Goblins over. This way, we can capture them easily and kill them without leaving a single one behind.”
When the Sovereign King heard this, he was elated as he smiled, “Good, very good! This plan is feasible! We’ll do as you say! If we succeed, you’ll be handsomely rewarded!”
The king then asked, “My dear subject, you must have just arrived at the palace. Why haven’t I seen you before? What’s your name?”
The minister replied, “Yes, my name is Chris. I just arrived at the palace yesterday.”
The King said, “Alright, minister. I’ll leave the mission of hunting goblins to you.”
Despite just arriving at the palace, the King had already given Chris the task of killing goblins, which was surprising to Chris. Naturally, Chris did not want to miss such an opportunity, so he gladly agreed.
Chris was not an ordinary minister, but a player. Just like Osmond and the others, he was reincarnated into this world on the same day. However, Chris was assigned to the warrior camp by the system and chose to become civil minister. He was a strategist in Locke Kingdom and was good at tactics
[Player: Chris (Warrior Faction)]
[ Role: Strategist (Civil Minister)]
[Level: 5]
[Talent: Intelligence 80, Strength 30]
[Skills: Hunting Command, Chain Strategy (Not Yet Activated)]
[Commanding: 50]
As soon as Chris arrived in this world, he already found himself in the territory of the Locke Kingdom. Then, he kept reading books and flipping through the history of the Locke Kingdom, as well as the files of various spiritual beasts and demon kings. Chris studied hard. Through continuous research and learning, coupled with his outstanding intelligence talent, Chris quickly reached level 5 and successfully activated the Hunting Command skill.
[Hunting Command: A special skill exclusive to strategists. It will be activated when one’s Intelligence reaches 80. One can learn various hunting strategies to hunt and kill enemies.]
After many examinations and recommendations from other officials, Chris was allowed to enter the palace.
After receiving the king’s order, Chris immediately arranged for 50 soldiers to prepare several bags of gold coins and prepare to set off for the Bolder Ruins.
This was undoubtedly a challenge for Chris. There were more than a hundred Goblins, and they had just killed 1,000 of Nocci’s warriors.
It had to be said that Chris, who had just had the chance to go on the battlefield, was a bit rash.
However, Chris happily agreed to the king’s request. He could not help but want to perform well.
Without any hesitation, Chris immediately set off with 50 soldiers.
Among the 50 soldiers, Chris brought 30 archers and 20 warriors. They were not as fast as the cavalry, and it would take them four days to reach the Bolder Ruins.
At this moment, the goblins were still celebrating in the tribe. They were immersed in the victory they had obtained two days ago. The military supplies they had just plundered could feed the goblins for an entire year. It was no wonder that the goblins celebrated non-stop for three days.
The goblins were too busy thinking about the gold, silver, and food. They would never have thought that the Locke Kingdom would send warriors to attack.
Elder Goblin said drunkenly, “Little ones, eat and drink to your heart’s content.”
A dark green goblin with meat in one hand and wine in the other replied, “Thank you, Elder. Thank you, Elder.”
Osmond and Hill also came to the Bolder Ruins at this time. They saw the water flowing down the mountain, splashing.
The burly Hill walked over. The mountain birds that were feeding were scared away. Hill reached out his hand and swallowed the spring water flowing down the mountain.
Osmond soared in the sky, constantly circling around as if he was looking for prey. He stretched out his dragon wings, covering the sky and the sun. The shadow under him was more than ten meters long. From time to time, he let out a dragon roar that echoed in the valley.
