Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 141 Melee
When Sally presented her slave to her "aunt", Ron and others behind Polly were dumbfounded.

Although this elf's face could not be seen clearly because he was wearing the same mask as them, but judging from his figure, attire, and hairstyle, no matter how you looked at it, it was undoubtedly Mindatis!

However, the condition of this elf was obviously not right. He was absent-minded and followed the witch who captured him like a zombie, allowing her to manipulate him like a puppet.

They are just acting, could it be that this person...really fell for the witch's trick? !

"Do you want to kill him now?" Sera obviously recognized the elf. She pulled Ron and asked in a low voice.

According to her temper, she should have rushed up and killed these three witches together with Mindatis. This is called cutting the Gordian knot.

But Ron signaled her not to worry, because Polly had said before that this seemingly standard three-person gathering of hags actually had four - and the mother of the twins was nowhere to be found at the moment.

Rashly alerting the enemy would only increase the difficulty. After all, they did not come into the mountains to suppress bandits, but wanted to obtain more information from the two witches from the previous generation's gathering.

"Although the gifts I offer are not enough, they are definitely more to your liking than those seven!" Sally looked at her sister proudly, "Just get out of here!"

"Hmm..." "Auntie" murmured. She naturally had her own considerations. To this ghost woman who had lived for a much longer time, the number of servants was indeed not that important.

"No, Auntie, you wouldn't really..." Polly was also stunned by Sally's move. She never expected that the other party would be persuaded by a mere elf chip. How could this be possible?

"No, no, okay, no!" The "Auntie" seemed to be experiencing a fierce struggle in her heart. She changed her words several times, making her face look even more hideous.

In the end, no one knew which side had the upper hand. Auntie waved her hand violently, and her sharp claws left four deep scratches on the tree trunk. "No! No matter who this elf was in the past, he is only my servant now. He is not worthy of being compared with me at all!"

"Polly, you are my only sweetheart; and as for you, 'Gloomy Sally,' you must choose between two alternatives: make up your sincerity, or die!"

Sally's confident smile froze on her face: "No, it shouldn't be like this. You clearly said you would... I understand!"

She roared hysterically, making the monster more like a wild beast than a humanoid creature; "I understand, mother! It's you who is behind this, right?!"

"I didn't expect you to go this far! But it doesn't matter, I will never let you control me again!"

"Choice, choice? You never gave me a choice! I will fight you!"

The witch untied a cloth bag from her waist and threw it towards "Auntie" with all her strength. Several seeds in it broke through the bag as soon as they left her hand, and turned into several thick thorny vines that bound "Auntie". Sally immediately took out a set of mortar and pestle, added something unknown into it, ground it and started muttering to herself.

"You dare to resist me?!" "Auntie" grinned, she raised her palms, and a large swarm of insects gushed out from her armpits, instantly devouring the vines. "I don't know how many of those tricks you learned from me, and you dare to resist me?!" A double image seemed to appear behind "Auntie". Although this double image looked nothing like her, under the simultaneous casting of spells by the "two witches", Sally, who was originally weaker, was immediately trapped in a desperate situation and was in danger of the opponent's bizarre spells!
"Sister!" The witch screamed miserably, "You don't think that after I die, they will really treat you as their sweetheart! Come and save me!"

This roar successfully distracted the "Auntie" and let Sally escape the fatal blow. But at the same time, it also exposed Polly - this witch had no intention of reconciling with the "Auntie" at all. She had been preparing to attack the "Auntie" from the beginning, and she was almost successful!

"You short-sighted, bitch-born maggot!" Polly cursed, "Don't try to disturb her with a swarm of wasps. It won't work at all!"

"You can tell they're sisters," Ivy muttered, "They must have been taught by the same mother."

Originally, the two of them together could only fight the "Auntie" to a draw. Now the witches are making their own protection their top priority and are trying to trip each other up openly and covertly. How could they possibly be her match?
"My darling, come and save me!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sally quickly controlled Mindatis, who was still standing there in a daze. The elf responded like a puppet, and drew his sword to attack "Auntie" together with Sally.

"Don't just stand there and watch, come and help!" Polly also called for help, but Ron and the others were not real puppets, so only two Nighthounds responded and pounced on their former master.

"Something's wrong." Sylvia didn't move. There was some confusion in her voice behind the mask. "You have fought against Mindatis before, right?"

"More than once, what's wrong?" Ron was stunned. Could it be that Datis was also pretending to be controlled? Could he act so convincingly?
"He has always used a rapier?"

"correct."

Sylvia was even more puzzled. "How could a man who uses a rapier as his main weapon not know how to use a sword? Why does his technique look so awkward?"

Unlike Ron who had not received any relevant training, Sylvia could tell at a glance that Mindatis's sword skills were obviously not those of an expert. If it was a human, it would be understandable, but an elf?
Isn't such a long lifespan enough for him to master the most commonly used weapon?

“Maybe it’s because he’s being manipulated?”

"Don't worry about that elf," the golden dragon wearing an Exuri vest suddenly interrupted them, "I have tracked down the location of the hag. She is in a depression not far from here."

"There are also a dozen or so Yeti hounds there, and their bodies are almost asleep. Perhaps this is why she can appear behind Auntie in the form of a phantom."

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first!"

Just after the Golden Dragon marked that location in the minds of Ron and others, Sera, who had been suppressing her anger and fighting spirit for a long time, could no longer suppress it and rushed out with a roar!
