Deep in the forest, in a room filled with crystal balls, many of the crystal balls have dimmed. Those crystal balls that once showed the forest scenery mercilessly are now gray.
The emerald and ugly face revealed obvious murderous intent.
"You're really capable. Who on earth discovered that I was spying on them?"
The Goblin King's mind flashed back to the battle he had witnessed two days ago, and his intuition told him that the person who saw through the plan was the inconspicuous young man.
"It is indeed possible that he was the one who spoke to the leader of the team. After he spoke to the leader, the leader took action and removed my eyes."
The team chasing the escaped pigs also lost contact halfway. The people who launched the rescue operation stood in a blind spot and their faces were never seen from beginning to end, which meant that they had separated a part of their people to carry out the operation.
If there were so many people, my men wouldn't have been able to charge forward roaring like that.
Are they sending elite troops to surprise me? How naive.
The face of the Goblin King gradually distorted, revealing a creepy smile. Having lost his vision, the Goblin King could no longer monitor the rescue team's every move, but that did not mean he would not take action.
He casually pressed a button on the chair, and several skinny goblins with daggers immediately fell from the ceiling.
"Respected King, I accept your call."
These skinny goblins look weak, but they exude a strong murderous intent, which is the result of countless bloody battles. If you underestimate them, you will die.
"Formation 311, area FBA, F area command AK."
The leading elite assassination goblin showed a look of shock, and the Goblin King also vaguely sensed its uneasiness.
"Why? Any questions?"
"It's nothing. You are always right, our great king. You will awaken the souls of our ancestors, and we will surely rule the world again." The elite assassination goblin captain was respectful. He firmly believed that their king would not make any wrong decision.
"Alright, back off!"
The Goblin King waved his hand, and the Assassin Goblin disappeared from his sight in an instant. Soon, he pressed another button, and this time an inconspicuous goblin appeared in front of him.
The inconspicuous goblin had leaf-like marks on its body, and could move quickly and stealthily among the treetops. It also knelt before the Goblin King.
Its mission is to listen to the king's orders and convey them.
"Pass on my order. The ambush troops will retreat and attack from the front and back. The trap troops will serve as bait."
The inconspicuous goblin nodded and disappeared from the sight of the Goblin King.
After waiting for the opportunity, the rescue adventure team has almost recovered.
Yang Yu took Secamens back along the original route, reunited with Androno, and repeated the intelligence to Androno.
"They are more cunning than we thought. I don't know what ritual they are performing. We only have one chance. If we fail this time and it runs away, it will probably cause even greater chaos when it appears again."
"The situation is more serious than imagined. This practice seems to have happened in history. I heard that when the Goblin King was sweeping the world, there was a period of time when people were used to perform rituals every day. Due to the lack of various historical materials, there are different opinions on the purpose of the ritual. Among them, the generally accepted one is that the Goblin King seemed to have someone forge some kind of prop."
Anderno frowned, and his muscles couldn't help but tremble.
"It requires a certain amount of sacrifice to activate it. It is not clear what effect the item will have after being activated. We need to prepare for the worst and race against time. The sooner we solve it, the sooner we can stop the situation from getting worse."
After saying that, Androno gathered all the members of the rescue team and briefly repeated the result. The rescue team looked solemn. The story of the Goblin King was one of the most notorious legends in the world, and no one wanted another Goblin King to appear.
Everyone in the rescue team can feel that they are standing at a historical node, and even if they are unwilling, they have to shoulder the responsibility.
Perhaps many years later, someone will tease them, "Where is the Goblin King II? If there really is one, he would not have been defeated by a bunch of C- and D-class adventurers like you. You are such shameless braggarts." But they will also resolutely nip the tragedy in the bud.
The rescue team reached a surprising consensus and decided to find the goblin base camp, capture them all in one fell swoop, and rescue the missing adventurers.
Morale was higher than ever before, and everyone set out again under the leadership of Androno, bypassing the main area with dense vision and moving carefully without destroying the eye.
However, being able to reach the goblin base safely was just their wishful thinking.
They passed a big pit, which was where the goblins hid the stone balls. The huge pit could not be dug in a day or two, which also showed that the trap they encountered was premeditated long ago.
With just one glance, a large number of weak goblins holding shovels poured out of the tunnel and fought with them. Although they won an overwhelming victory in the end, they still made quite a noise.
Ten thin figures fell on the tree trunk. They finally found their target and looked at the advancing rescue team from afar. Two assassin goblins looked at each other, and then left the team one after the other to meet the teams attacking from the front and back.
The remaining eight goblins watched the rescue team's every move, and before the encirclement team arrived, they decided to spread fear.
The elites in this team have long been stripped away. How naive it is to think of attacking our king from the flank. Our king has seen through everything. There is a captain with 30 elite assassination goblins to deal with your trump card. There is only death waiting for them. And these old, weak and sick of you will be defeated by the front and back attacks of our goblin army.
The only thing that caught the elite goblins' attention was the muscular warrior mentor. They could clearly feel the aura of a strong man from Androno.
However, the elite assassination goblin speculated that Androno left the elites behind in order to lure them to gather their forces here. One or two elites could not do much.
Soon the elite assassination goblins selected their first victim, a young man holding a shield and a sword on his waist. He looked very immature, a rookie. The goblins only smelled the stench of weakness from him.
The relationship between humans is fragile. As long as one person falls down inexplicably, anxiety and fear will spread among the team.
Locking the target and getting ready, the Elite Assassination Goblin released rows of darts from his hands and threw them out mercilessly.
