Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 289 Two Groups of Robbers
"Old witch, you are talking nonsense—" As soon as the orc priest said this, the centaurs immediately exploded, "We also saw you orcs rushing into those villages!"

"My Lord, don't you know what kind of people the orcs are? They are simply arguing for the inarguable!" An angry Zandia raised his upper body with all his strength and shouted to Ron to protest his injustice.

"Enough!" However, Ron, who was upset by the sudden news, had no time to listen to the debate between the two sides. "Karad, you take the army to escort them, and the others come with me. Let's rush back as soon as possible!"

"Gilliannis, can you use high-level arcane magic to teleport us directly to the trading post?"

"Since I've never been to your trading post, I can't specify the location directly," Gillianis tried to explain, but after seeing Ron's expression, she added the second half of the sentence, "But it doesn't matter. It will definitely be much faster than walking for you."

Gillianis's method was simple: she only needed to release her familiar for reconnaissance again, determine the coordinates of the trading post first, and then she could bring up to eight willing creatures at a time to a designated location on the same plane.

For ordinary spellcasters, the success rate of this kind of teleportation that they have only seen once is almost the same as the success rate after hearing the description of Ron and others, but for Gillianis, the chance of correct teleportation is much higher.

It was only the morning of the second day. With a strong wave of energy, the yawning Gillianis, along with the members of Roan's team, and the orc priest and the two captives Zandia, appeared not far in front of the trading post. All six members of Roan's team had experienced teleportation. The orc priest was relatively calm, but the young centaur leader vomited as soon as he landed.

Although the Centaurs originated from the Feywild, just like the Goblins, that was all ancient history from who knows when. Born and raised in the Gobi Desert, the most powerful magic that Zentia had ever heard of was probably the curse cast by the Orc priests. She had never heard of the arcane magic of teleporting so many people at once, let alone experiencing it herself.

"I was thinking it might be a little off," Sylvia said, dodging the vomiting soldiers in disgust, "but now it seems to be just right."

"Don't talk about that, go back and take a look!"

Gillianis used arcane magic to lead the people and horses, while Ron and the others quickly rushed to the trading post. As soon as they entered the yard, a five or six meter long black shadow rushed towards them, and its razor-sharp teeth almost scraped a large piece of flesh from Ron.

Ron hastily held up a shield to repel the attacker. When the attacker was knocked to the ground by the recoil, he could see clearly what kind of creature the attacker was.

"Damn it, Axuri, what are you crazy about!" Ivy was shocked and quickly protected Ron behind her, frowning at the black dragon baby that attacked them inexplicably.

"You are... eh?!" The dragon that had attacked Ron just now was not another dragon, but Exuri. The young dragon that had climbed up wanted to continue attacking, but when it saw the faces of Ron and the others, it jumped in shock, "It's you! You're finally back!"

"Why are you here?" Ron looked inside the trading post. It was quiet and silent. "Where are they? Rurik? Lavinia?"

"Lavinia and Bunny have been picked up by the teacher and the old wizard. They will be safe in New Green Swamp Town," Exure said quickly. "The other residents have also been picked up."

"Your trading post and the nearby villages have been attacked by several groups of bandits recently. Now Andre's militia and I are patrolling here to prevent them from coming back again. Andre and his men have just set out. Do you want me to call them back?"

"No need, just let them continue to perform their duties," Ron waved his hand, "What about the others? You only mentioned Lavinia and Benny just now, are they injured?" "This... I don't know." Axuri hesitated, and finally shook his head.

"Don't know?! What do you mean by don't know?" Driver jumped up. "Explain it to me! I'm so anxious!"

"I just don't know!" The young black dragon stamped its feet and growled, "Rurik and the disabled consultant were captured. Annie went to ask us for help, but was caught by them on the way!"

"Luckily, the consultant used some kind of magic to turn the ground into living things and temporarily trapped the robbers. This allowed Annie to escape and report to us!"

Axuri kept turning in circles on the ground. "The teacher and the old wizard have gone to look for them. They asked me and Andre's militiamen to guard this place until you come back... but now it's been almost a week, and there's still no news from them!"

"No news..." Ron was immediately overwhelmed after hearing this. Jin Long and Mazarino were both powerful and had various means. They had not returned for such a long time. Not to mention that they were in danger, they must have been in trouble.

"Exure, what do you know about the raiding bandits?"

"I haven't seen those robbers," Young Dragon paused, "but according to Annie, they are probably not in the same group."

"The first group to kidnap Rurik should be a dozen or so people." As soon as Aikzuri finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Zandia on the ground.

"My Lord, I really didn't do it!" The Centaur wanted to cry but had no tears. Facing the accusation of a real dragon, even a chromatic dragon cub, all her words became pale and powerless. "I can swear to any god that I have never ordered my men to do such a thing!"

A feeling of bitterness welled up in her eyes, and Zandia actually cried.

Their life in the Gobi Desert was already difficult. They were ostracized in the town of Frome, attacked by orcs, and hunted in the Land of Delusion... and now they became bandits. What was going on?

"Little girl, put away your crocodile tears and stop pretending," the orc priest laughed hoarsely, "Sir, now you should believe us, right? Although others say that our Broken Tooth Tribe is barbaric, we still have a bottom line..."

The black dragon looked at the prisoner who suddenly spoke more for a long time, and suddenly snorted: "As for the ones who captured the disabled consultant and Annie, and also injured Lavinia and Bunny, they were more than ten orcs!"

"Annie also said that a few days before the attack, they had entertained a group of migrating orcs. The leader was an orc priest who looked like an old woman!"
