Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Luibod did not join the battlefield, he did not even show up, but used magic to convey messages to Sarlona, ​​bringing news from the entire battlefield.

The goblins failed to discover the hidden bishop, but they immediately noticed the change in the direction of the opponent's attack. A crossbow arrow hit the shoulder armor of the goblin, and the halberd took advantage of the situation and blasted a stealthy drow assassin out of his invisibility.

"How did you find me?"

The drow looked at the hobgoblin with some surprise. He still had a short blade in his hands. The other blade that was originally a pair had been caught in the cold arc of the halberd in the previous fight. The assassin acted decisively and avoided the hobgoblin's fatal follow-up move by discarding one weapon.

When it comes to martial arts alone, most of the world follows the same set of rules: using a knife to attack a gun will result in nine deaths and one injury, while using a gun to force a knife is an entry-level teaching method.

The halberd is slightly longer than an ordinary gun or spear, but the attack range of the dagger is not as good as that of the scimitar. Therefore, even a drow assassin who is accustomed to hiding in the shadows and attacking by surprise will no longer have any chance to get close the moment he is discovered.

unless……

Zhuo Er turned around and disappeared into the shadows. Fortunately, this was not a completely open area. As long as the hobgoblin dared to chase forward ten or even five steps, he would have a chance to catch a glimmer of opportunity and kill him.

After all, he is not the only assassin here.

But there isn’t just one goblin’s “distant cousin” here either.

"I leave it to you." After taking a step forward, Karad stopped immediately, turned around and attacked the drow who had no chance to hide anymore. Inside his helmet, a small invisibility detection magic circle was slowly running. It was a "practical function" that Ron had specially enchanted for this earth elf, and it came in handy today.

Following Karad's order, one of the two bear goblins beside him disappeared silently. Unlike their noisy goblin cousins, these huge hairy beasts could crawl out of the shadows as quietly as cats. They are one of the prototypes of nightmares for many races.

But the drow may not have heard of this, after all, bugbears rarely rashly venture into the dark underground.

"Didn't catch up?" The drow assassin who had just escaped stopped dozens of meters away. The battlefield covered most of the jungle, and this was an open space on the battlefield, allowing him to take a short rest. Although the target was much more restrained than he had imagined, he thought it was just that the other party was a little luckier.

I'm just a hobgoblin. I can't always be so lucky...

A shadow suddenly flashed across the scarlet eyes of the drow assassin, which were red because of his belief in the Spider Queen Rose. He sensed something was wrong and immediately turned around and bared his fangs at the attacker behind him. The dagger on one side pierced his skin, but before he could feel at ease by the bloody smell, his empty left hand subconsciously swung towards the air, and a big hand had already grabbed his throat!

The suffocation lasted only a moment. If it weren't for the drow's purple complexion, the bear goblin guards would have been able to appreciate the other's instantaneous change of expression. At the same time, the ambusher, who was full of brute force and cunning, was about to break the other's neck, but he caught a glimpse of a twisted and pleased smile on his face.

This made him subconsciously loosen his grip a little. "Fool..." The drow assassin laughed hoarsely, "Your master only has one guard left..."

With a loud "kaba" sound, the drow, whose head and torso were no longer connected by continuous bones, fell to the ground helplessly. The bear goblin turned around and ran towards Kalade, but the drow would never give him so much time.

The sound of metal clashing was still lingering in Karad's ears, and the sound of bones rubbing against each other soon joined in. His yellow eyes were fixed on the tip of the sword that was already within reach, and he used all his strength to prevent it from moving forward even an inch. More than ten centimeters away, his halberd was also stuck in position, and he could not turn it back to cut off the female drow's neck.

"Single-handed attack" is still possible, but... at least it requires Sarona's level. And she can do much more than that - there is a height difference between the drow and the hobgoblin. When she puts most of her body weight on the important short sword, the tip of the sword is getting closer and closer to the blue nose.

"Who... are you?" Kalade was still trying to break the deadlock, but with little success. The last bear goblin guard fell at his feet. The surrounding goblins were already resisting, but their numerical advantage was no longer obvious. If this continued, the balance would soon be broken.

"'Bad Omen' Sarlona, ​​Sarlona Koledin. Remember my name, and die in peace." The drow's advance did not slacken at all as he opened his mouth. As a female member of a matriarchal race, she received the best and most complete education and would never make such a ridiculous mistake.

In her eyes, the hobgoblin was already a dead man. With a slight intention of keeping him in mind, she asked casually, "What's your name? I can carve it on my sword. You are the eighth opponent worthy of me doing so."

"It's a pity that your strength is really limited. If you were stronger or had more subordinates, you wouldn't have ended up like this—"

Kalade grinned and pushed the sword away a little: "A woman with really strong hands... do it!"

Sarona was startled by the loud roar at such close range. Before she could react, a large number of goblins suddenly rushed out from the surrounding jungle and surrounded the assassins who were caught off guard. The drow who were originally ready to help their leader win the victory had to be suppressed again and fell into a melee with the goblins again.

"You actually hid your strength?!" Sarona stared at Kalade, "Even though you showed signs of defeat long before?!"

"If I want to keep you here, I have to open my mouth as wide as possible," the hobgoblin sneered coldly, "You can't leave now."

If Karad had summoned the first and second teams before, the other side would have probably retreated when seeing the bad situation. But at this moment, the drow, who had been entangled and lost a lot of men, had no chance of escape!
"But you will die too!" Sarona's face became ferocious. She could hear the screams of her people without turning around, which made her more eager to kill Karad quickly. "You lunatic!"

As a drow favored by Rose, Sarona didn't care about such stupid topics as why Karad wanted to sacrifice his men to achieve his goal. What she couldn't accept was why the other party would include himself in the calculations!
"As long as the price is right, why can't I die?" The yellow in the hobgoblin's eyes was as cold as jade. "But you are wrong about one thing. You are not worthy of being buried with me. Do you think a crazy woman who takes risks alone has the right to call me crazy?"

Sarona sensed something wrong in the eyes of the earth elf, but she was also covered by the other party's halberd and was anxious but unable to escape.

"Old friend! Let's eat!" Kalade responded with waves of wolf howls approaching rapidly from a distance! (End of this chapter)
