Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 159 Escape
This genius elf who was originally declared to have died not only survived, but is still alive today? !
Ron felt that this guy was truly a genius when it came to faking his death.

But how is this possible? The stone slabs in Green Swamp Town and You's memories all prove that this guy is dead!
By the way, there is also the tomb, which has now been transformed into a goblin’s lair by Kalade.

"He is a handsome elf, handsome and intelligent. How could he die so easily?" Shadow Spirit laughed. Her smile pulled at her wound, making her expression quite distorted. "It's just that he found something, something with great power."

"Pure energy?" Ron frowned. "But weren't he and his men corrupted by it—"

"Who told you that corruption means death?" Shadow Spirit sneered, "It's just a different way of living."

"He has the blood of our von Richthofen family in his veins, so he naturally has the same obsession with power. It's just that he has greater ambitions than the humble me."

"I pursue power for myself, while he pursues power for the entire Hailan Empire."

Ying Ling paused, and then continued: "After becoming the target of public criticism, the destruction of the Hailan Empire is almost inevitable. A far-sighted wise man like him will certainly not fail to see this point - then, what can be changed by simply establishing an enclave in a remote corner?"

"Unless this enclave can breed a force more powerful than the Hailan Empire!"

"He accepted this power, was corrupted, and then became a part of the evil?" Ron looked at Shadow Spirit in disbelief, "Even if he killed all the elves in the town?!"

"In my opinion, this act should be called 'coronation'," Shadow Spirit said nonchalantly, "Also, you are wrong. Who said he killed the elves of the entire town? Do you have any evidence?"

"I've been in Delusion for much longer than you," Ron snorted. "I found the ruins of Green Swamp Town. Their library has the last records."

"Words will always be misinterpreted, it doesn't matter."

"There is also the news about the fishman and a few hags. During that period, a large number of elemental creatures were summoned, and along with other events, it led to quite tragic consequences."

"The murlocs don't know what's happening on the shore. Hag witches? Will you believe what they say?"

"What about adding a ghost of an elf? Her name is You now. She was once a member of the Green Swamp Town and experienced everything firsthand."

"You mean the banshee?" Ying Ling was stunned. "No, that's impossible!"

"Cousin Saran swore to me that he did not abandon any elves and allowed them all to embrace a more powerful power!"

"And I have seen his army of elves with my own eyes. It is exactly the same as the list of Green Swamp Town in his hand, not a single person is missing!"

Ron looked into Shadow's eyes quietly, and said word by word: "Think about the Wilsons who chased us before, and think about what you just said."

"Are there none missing, or are there even quite a few extra?"

"This..." Shadow Spirit's facial features were twisted together due to shock. "No, no, no, no, I believe in him. I am willing to come out from the Shadow Underworld to follow his call because I believe he has greater ambitions than me! While pursuing power, he has not forgotten others, him!" "He what?" Ron sneered, "He locked us up together, so that I can also have the 'honor' of being 'crowned' with the noble elves?"

"Or is it that you, a shadow spirit, or even other elves, are worthless in his eyes, no different from humans like me?"

"If you think about it carefully, there is really no difference - it's just a substitute, what's the big deal?" Ron continued, "Look at those 'Wilson's', right? He has no shortage of people under him, and the quantity can completely make up for the lack of quality. With so many cannon fodders piled up, even we would be overwhelmed, so what can you and I do?"

"To add a sample of species diversity to his army?"

"Stop talking!" Shadow Spirit screamed. She tried to push Ron away and ran away, covering her ears. But where could she hide in such a small place?
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, the surrounding stone walls began to shake. After a while, a large number of cracks began to appear on the stone in front of Ron, and then it collapsed instantly with a loud bang. The person standing on the other side of the wall was holding a huge sword and was looking at Ron and the shadow spirit curiously.

"I actually used it to smash the wall," Sera said frustratedly, carrying the Grasp of the Blue Wave on her shoulders. "Should we just kill this guy?"

"She's probably dead," Ron glanced at the shadow spirit huddled in the corner with a dazed look in her eyes and ignored her. "Where are the others? Or are you the first one I found?"

"And Driver and Ivy," Sera made way for Ron to come over, "They were trapped together. I guess it's because I'm bigger, so I'm living in a single room."

"Drivedo contacted Sera by knocking on the wall." Ron saw Ivy, who was covered in dust, and Ivy and the others also noticed Ron.

"Oh, Ron, Ron, you are always so kind," Driver muttered a messy tune in Goblin and Common. "Forget it, we don't want to be bad guys, so let her rot here!"

"Don't mess around, we have more important things to do now," Ron slapped him on the head, "Where are Victoria and Sylvia?"

"Over here, there's only one wall that's empty." Driver pointed to a wall marked with a crossbow arrow, "Sera, break it open!"

"Don't have too high expectations," Ivy patted Ron's shoulder, "Sylvia is seriously injured, and Victoria can't heal her. Even if she can use resurrection..."

It was of no use, Sylvia's injuries were still difficult to stabilize.

Ivy was originally planning to say this, but when Sera swung the sword and broke the wall, several people were dumbfounded, staring at the two people inside who were intact.

Victoria was a rare sight, except that her clothes and armor were a little messy and covered with a lot of blood-stained dust and stone chips. But for some reason, there were some white hairs mixed in with her reddish-brown hair.

But the vampire was surprisingly intact at the moment, except for the clothes on her body that were torn by the shadow spirit and could not be restored. At this moment, she was looking at everyone with energy!
