Mountain Goblins, as the name suggests, are Goblins who live in mountainous terrain.
Mountains and mountains are used to describe mountainous landforms. The valleys here are deep and it is very convenient to hide your tracks. Especially the mountain forests with dense vegetation are deep and dark. For people who are not familiar with the mountains and forests, it is easy to lose their way. p>
"Oh~! There is heavy fog today, the weather is very good, garbage, get up and work!"
The Goblin Captain was choked by the snot that flowed back into his mouth. He slept until he woke up naturally and looked outside the cave to check the environment of the day. It was very suitable for an ambush.
"No, you have to work in broad daylight?"
"We are nocturnal creatures, boss."
"Sleep a little longer~sleep a little longer~"
Ordinary goblins are still lying on the shady ground in a mess. The weather has been getting warmer recently, and their mental state is very negative.
"Get up and work. This is a task assigned by the superiors. I haven't eaten meat for several days. Do you want me to eat you? Wake up everyone who can work. Hey, the little trash will also come to help!"<
/p>
The Goblin Captain held his fat and wide palm and slapped the wall of the cave hard, knocking down a large amount of gravel.
"Boss, that little piece of trash is missing."
"I didn't come back last night."
"You're so stingy. You just stole his dinner."
"Maybe it was eaten by wild wolves."
When ordinary goblins heard the familiar "bugle", they immediately got up from the ground and lined up together.
"Hmph, I'll teach it a lesson when I come back. I'll make it clear first. Today's mission requires that you strictly follow orders and act in strict accordance with them. You are strictly prohibited from acting alone. Also, any women you encounter cannot be brought back and must be killed on the spot! <
/p>
If anyone dares to disobey the order, prepare to become our dinner!
Let’s go!”
The Goblin Captain looked at his subordinates who were all different in height, fat and thin with satisfaction. It was more than enough to deal with a few humans. It alone had the strength of ten adult human males, so it was easy to complete the task.

Enduring mosquito bites and the scorching sun, Wang Wang has been lurking in the highest peak near the cave for several hours. This reminds him of his days as a military dog. Sometimes he even lurks motionless for a whole day.
, very strict.
Fortunately, he persisted in the past, otherwise he would have lost patience.
"Coming out——!"
The fat figure of the Goblin Captain is very conspicuous, and he is followed by seven ordinary goblins.
Sure enough, everyone was out in force.
It's a pity, if there are any Goblins left alone in the cave, he wants to kill one or two first.
Finally, I checked the equipment, a dagger made of bone, and more than thirty disposable fishbone turf blow darts coated with poison dart frog venom.
Start taking action to save the subjugated princess.

It is very difficult to walk in the mountains with heavy fog. No one with common sense would choose to enter the mountains in such weather.
However, the Lord Knight is resolute and must enter the mountain today. Otherwise, he will entrust other people in the village to act as guides and increase the reward to two large silver coins per person.
In the end, Joe, Zoe, and Ash decided to venture into the mountains. Even if they encountered goblins, the knight's sword was not a vegetarian. They also prepared axes, hatchets, and sickles as self-defense weapons.
~
"Hey, you guys are walking too slowly! I'm not paying you to come for a walk. Hurry up and lead the way!"
The Lord Knight scolded the three guides impatiently. At the same time, the corner of his eye turned to Luo Jieer, who was looking around curiously at the mountain environment, and a sneer gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, Lord Knight."
Joe walked forward happily while thinking about how much meat two large silver coins could buy.
"Wait a minute, Joe, something's not quite right. It's a little too quiet."
Ash, who had remained silent along the way, suddenly squatted down and checked the surrounding grass. It was a bit different from the place they had walked before. There were no fresh animal footprints on the grass.
"Master Knight, how far are the herbs and ores you want to collect? We three brothers often go into the mountains. It might as well let us know a little bit. It's just a map without any marks. It's really embarrassing.
..."
Zoe clasped her hands together and approached the Lord Knight with a flattering expression. He felt a little uneasy, it didn't feel like an ordinary collection task.
Even if there are any precious medicinal materials and ores, are they really worth eight large silver coins?
I hope he doesn’t overthink it.
"Shut up! What do you, a pariah, know? Just leave. How can I tell you where the treasures you want to collect are!"
The Lord Knight held down the heavy sword hanging on his waist, roared angrily, and pushed up the helmet on his head.
"Huh? What are you talking about! So what, Lord Knight? We are not your subjects!"
Joe clenched his fists and turned to glare at the Lord Knight.
"Okay, okay, Joe, it's natural for the Lord Knight to be agitated. It's all because of this shitty weather. How about this, Ash, you choose a 'shortcut' that we usually take, and catch up on the up and down journey in one go?"
”
Zoe quickly dissuaded Joe and the Lord Knight, while winking at Ash.
He judged that the Lord Knight must not be familiar with this mountainous area. It happened to be a foggy weather, and it was not too late to return now. After returning, he said that they had lost their way, and the Lord Knight could only give up no matter how angry he was. p>
"Hey? Is there a shortcut? Great!"
Luo Jie'er had no idea what was happening and just looked at everything around her curiously. After all, this was something she had never seen before.
It felt like the mountains were much bigger than the palace she lived in before.
"Then leave quickly!"
The Lord Knight took back the heavy sword that was about an inch out.
"Who——!"
Ash, who was about to lead the way, immediately threw a stone towards a certain patch of grass.
[Enlightenment Spell*Light & Flame & Explosion——
Flashburst!】
The moment Ash threw the stone, there was movement in the grass. A dry black and blue skeletal hand stretched out, and the red light array composed of triangles and rings quickly rotated in the air, with one popping out every time it rotated.
Mysterious runes, after rotating for three weeks in total.
More than a dozen flame missiles rushed out from the rune light array and exploded immediately above the five of them, accompanied by a strong light.
All this was performed extremely quickly, completed in only 0.1 seconds!
"The Enlightener——!"
Luo Jie'er covered her crystal clear lips in shock.
"How is it possible——! How could the Enlightener appear in such a place!"
The moment the Lord Knight was deprived of his vision, he regretted it. It turned out that the Lord who assigned him the mission also arranged for an initiate to silence him.
Looking back now, I find it unbelievable that such a major task as assassinating a subjugated princess could be left to a lowly knight like him.
"..."
As the light dissipated, the knight, whose head was blown to pieces, fell from the horse to the ground.
Zoe and Ash were slightly injured because they were protected by Joe's body immediately, but Joe was not so lucky, and his entire back was cut off.
Because Luo Jie'er was at the back of the team, she only suffered the shock wave of the explosion, but she almost lost her mobility.
