Me and my fantasy world
Chapter 74 Destruction
South of the south gate of Nord Town is a sea of trees that stretches as far as the eye can see.
About 300 adventurers set out at the same time, forming a large team, following the guidance of the map and heading all the way to the marked location on the map.
Gazing at the receding backs of the crowd, the city gate slowly closed again. The president watched them leave with a solemn expression. The three hundred adventurers led by Zero One were the entire combat power of the guild. Now the guild only had the president in charge.
The chief guard at the south gate stroked his beard and walked to the side of the guild leader with a sly smile, mocking him slyly: "President of the Nord Guild, aren't you afraid that Xueyan will steal your limelight?"
"What's the hype?" The president glanced at the old man beside him with some disdain.
"Of course it's your leadership position. Look, it's brother Xueyan who is leading the team now. How majestic it is. Everyone follows brother Xueyan's lead. You are nothing." The old man smiled slyly.
The president's eyes were like sharp swords, emitting a strong killing intent: "Don't joke too much, Luo Xian."
"Oh my, you recognized me so quickly?" The old man's voice suddenly lost all traces of time and turned into a young male voice.
"You should know my intention. These people may know something. It's time to wipe them out." The president looked at the gate with a serious expression.
"What did you know? The scandal between you and the town lord?" The old man laughed at the president with some pride.
The president's eyes were filled with anger. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the old man by the collar. He angrily carried the old man all the way to the city wall and said, "If you know, shut up."
"Oh, you are so greedy. Do you want to take all the A-level task rewards for yourself?" The old man said, nodding his head.
Although the president was extremely angry, he still had some basic rationality. After hearing what the old man said, he let go of the old man's hand and said, "After the matter is done, it will be divided 30% and 70% as before."
"Okay, but are you going to kill Xueyan too? He performed well last night, you can give it a try." As the old man spoke, his voice suddenly became sharp and turned into a female voice.
"It's enough for one person to know about this. Xueyan doesn't need to know. I do admire him, but his nature of hating evil means that he is destined to have a rough life. There's no need for me to keep such a person around." The president said righteously.
"Okay, then what do you want to do?" The old man said, and suddenly grabbed his armor and lifted it upwards. He unexpectedly transformed himself into the third woman in the president's office last night, the woman called "Xiaosha" by the president.
"If I rely on the Goblin King to kill them all, will the seal of the contract still be there?"
"Of course."
"Get ready and let them die."
……
Inside the forest, Zero One was in the middle, groping forward in a diamond shape into the forest. Its steps were not fast, but steady.
Lingyi arranged some archers to lead the way, two people in a group, with two groups arranged in each of the four directions of the team. They were wary of each other and moved slowly forward in a staggered manner.
The two groups of archers in the front were mainly responsible for clearing the way, while the archers on the two wings were responsible for vigilance, and the archers in the rear guard were responsible for leaving march marks in the forest and being vigilant of attacks from the rear.
As the commander, Zero One is in the center of the team. Although he is in a commanding position, he is more nervous than anyone else around him because he knows that if he gives a wrong command, the entire army may be wiped out.
What's more, the intelligence did clearly mention the "Goblin Army", and the biggest problem facing the Goblin Army is its huge number. If they want to rely on the current 300 people, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
So Lingyi is now extremely nervous and dare not relax at all: "Xueyan? What's wrong with you? Why is your face sweating?" Alice was beside Lingyi, took out a towel and gently wiped the sweat from Lingyi's forehead and cheeks.
"No, it's okay. The main reason is that I'm unsure. The next battle may very likely turn into a meaningless massacre." Lingyi looked at the ground with a serious expression.
"Massacre? That's great, I'm just thinking of taking good care of these cubs!" On the other side of Zero One was the huge lion-demon. At this time, the lion-demon was carrying a big sword in his hand. He looked very courageous. The big sword, about two meters long, could be used as a two-handed sword in the hands of ordinary people, but in the hands of this lion-demon was like a one-handed sword.
"It would be fine if that was all we were worried about. What I'm worried about is that we will be the ones being slaughtered." Lingyi said solemnly.
"We? No way, Xueyan, you're giving in before the fight even starts?" Li Si was mocking Lingyi crazily from behind.
Lingyi didn't care about such ridicule, he just lowered his head and thought: "I always feel something is wrong."
"What's wrong, Xueyan?" Leo saw Lingyi thinking deeply and nervously beside him.
Suddenly, Lingyi stopped the team: "Everyone, stop moving forward! Archers stay on guard!" After Lingyi gave the order, everyone stopped and looked at Lingyi with some confusion. Only the archers around were still patrolling vigilantly.
"Xueyan, you're not going to back down, are you?" Li Si was still mocking Lingyi from behind.
But Lingyi ignored Li Si, and just muttered to himself, thinking about what had been wrong all along: "Three knight teams investigated the situation, only one person returned, and that person died?"
"Xueyan, what have you thought of?" Alice asked beside Lingyi.
Lingyi pondered for a moment and decided to speak it out for everyone to discuss. He then sighed and said, "First of all, goblins are low-level monsters. In their eyes, enemies are food. Therefore, compared to monsters, they may be more like hungry wolves and tigers. It is almost impossible to escape from goblins in the wild, but it is easy to kill them."
"Is this true? You are not exaggerating." Li Si was still mocking Lingyi.
The lion-man seemed unable to bear it any longer and wanted to raise his fist to put pressure on Li Si, but Lingyi stopped him: "I really hope that I am just exaggerating and not telling the truth. You should all know that the reason why the warrior was able to survive from the goblins was that he escaped from the goblins, not killed them and escaped unscathed."
Zero One asked questions to all the adventurers present, but everyone just looked at each other without saying anything. This silence seemed to be the simplest answer to Zero One.
"It is very, very difficult to escape from the goblins. They will kill and eat their targets regardless of any consequences or costs. Escape by luck? I have never seen any precedent. Adventurers here, is there any friend who did not fight with the goblins, but escaped purely by escaping?" Zero One asked again, and the people around him were speechless.
"Are you saying that there is something wrong with what the president said?" Alice looked at Lingyi in confusion.
"I don't know, but Uncle Yan's Foundry Record records all creatures in detail. I know it very well as I know it by heart. Uncle Yan's compilation has never written about a precedent of escaping from the goblins. They are always killed and escaped." Lingyi said in a deep voice.
Li Si once again nitpicked with disdain: "You are not right to say that. Everyone saw the thousand-man goblin cavalry. If you say that no one can escape from the goblins, then what about the Goblin King? This information must be correct, right?"
Lingyi glanced at Li Si again and said seriously, "It's not just the Goblin King who can command a thousand Goblin Cavalry. Goblins have an extremely complex class system. Basically, a Goblin Minister who can lead 10,000 Goblins can have this ability. 10,000 is enough, not to mention the Goblin King who can lead tens of thousands of Goblins. But there is a strange thing."
"What's strange? What's strange? I don't think there is any problem." Li Si continued to find fault.
"I don't know much about the Warcraft situation around Nord Town, so I want to ask a question." Lingyi said, looking at Li Si, then at the lion demi-human, and scanning the many adventurers in front of him: "I want to ask, have you ever encountered a group of goblins since you started working? It can be the minister of 10,000 people, the leader of 1,000 people, or even the chief of 100 goblins."
Lingyi said this and everyone fell silent again, staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Brother Xueyan, does fighting ten goblins count?" An adventurer in the crowd suddenly raised his hand.
After seeing this, Lingyi shook his head helplessly: "Think about it, a goblin king who can form a goblin army has tens of thousands of goblins under his command. Doesn't the king have some goblin group leaders and ministers who manage thousands or tens of thousands of people? I haven't even met a tribe leader who manages a hundred people, and you have been doing this until now."
After hearing this, everyone began to discuss in whispers, and the lion-man beside Zero One suddenly said, "What you said makes sense. It seems that the Goblin King discovered it too smoothly."
"Yes, there are only how many people in the three knight teams? Fifteen people, maybe. How could they hide so well? Not even a goblin village of a hundred people found them, nor a tribe of a thousand people found them. Even a goblin tribe of ten thousand people did not find them. Yet they went straight to the location of the Goblin King? Moreover, the knight teams searched so blatantly. Could it be that with so many goblins, they didn't even notice fifteen people behaving strangely?" Zero One asked puzzledly.
"What you said is indeed a bit strange. The knights are wearing heavy armor, and they make extremely loud noises just by walking. If they were a reconnaissance team, it would be fine, but they are the knights," said the lion-man, lowering his head in thought.
But Zero One’s concerns go beyond that.
"Besides that, this operation is also very strange. Why would the president arrange for all of our adventurers to come out in full force?" Lingyi kept asking himself in his mind.
"What's the problem?" Long Er's voice responded to Ling Yi, "After all, it was you who said that we should make a big fuss so that we can catch the people from the town master's faction in the guild."
"I know, but does that mean that the guild leader doesn't trust anyone around him? Send out all the adventurers, all in one go? If it was ten, twenty, or even fifty people, and they were not very trustworthy, it would be reasonable to hand them over to me. Now that the whole guild has come out, it means that the guild leader has never trusted anyone in the guild. As a leader, this is too wrong." Lingyi lowered his head and thought, but he couldn't come up with an answer.
"Wait... President?" Lingyi suddenly spoke. An extremely terrifying thought emerged in Lingyi's mind. His pupils contracted instantly, as if he was extremely panicked.
"Xueyan? What's wrong with you?" Alice looked at Lingyi curiously and grabbed Lingyi's hand, but she found that Lingyi's palms were full of cold sweat and were even trembling a little.
"No, that shouldn't be the case... Does he have any purpose?" Lingyi was puzzled, covering his head, unable to figure it out.
"Brother Xueyan, what have you thought of?" said the Lion-man.
Lingyi was panting heavily, looking panicked, but he still swallowed hard. "I remember that it was the president who told us about the soldier who escaped from the goblins. He also gave us the map and the information about the Goblin King. They are all connected to this person. Could it be that he..."
"The guild leader..." the lion-man suddenly repeated, "That guy is not a good person."
