Ch 309: Mission Day Two, Infiltration, Central Area

Bang——!

Swish swish swish——

“ya@#%&……”

Plop! Bang! Plop…

In the dim forest, the sounds of falling bodies rang out one after another.

As the goblins, attracted by the sound of the explosion, fell to the ground one after another, a group of people hidden in the dark walked out of the shadows.

“…This is the third wave. Those goblins must have noticed something is wrong.”

Fran pulled down the wet cloth covering his mouth and nose, looked down at the goblins all over the ground, and turned to his teammates behind him and said:

“Hurry up and deal with these guys before reinforcements surround us!”

“Okay, Enrique!”

Salina nodded, and then called out to her younger brother.

“Coming!”

Enrique drew the short sword from his waist and hurried to harvest the goblins on the ground with Salina.

These goblins, paralyzed by the poisonous mist, had no resistance at all.

As long as the short sword is inserted into the goblin’s neck, it can cut off its cervical spine with a little force.

Then push the blade upward, go deep into the back of the head and gently pry it to take out the Magic Core.

In just a few minutes, more than thirty goblins on the ground were cleared.

“Phew~ Easy peasy…”

Enrique straightened up, smiled, and wiped the blood from his face with a relaxed expression.

He shook off the blood stains on his hands and casually threw the Magic Core to Salina.

“This is the last one…”

Ding-a-ling…

“Well! Twenty-one Magic Cores out of thirty-three, not bad luck.”

Salina shook the bag in her hand and turned to Fran and shouted:

“Hey—Captain, all done!”

“Got it, give it to Bella first.”

Fran turned his head and shouted, then turned his head to look at Mos, who was being led out by Lizbeya, and asked nervously:

“How is it, Molly?”

“…”

Seeing that Molly still had her eyes closed, did not answer the question, and was completely focused.

Fran stopped asking, worried that he would disturb Mos.

He nodded to Lizbeya and turned to walk towards the three people in the distance.

“Hey—Captain, hurry up!”

Salina’s shout came from afar, waving her hand to urge Fran to speed up.

“Quick! Come and help, we’re going to give those goblins a big gift…”

“Coming, coming, don’t rush me!”

Fran smiled and raised his hand to shout, speeding up his pace towards the opposite side.

Salina’s lure plan is very effective!

Although the original method had shortcomings, it was based on simply luring the goblins away.

Now that none of the goblins who were lured here could escape, the news would naturally not get out.

No matter how cunning those goblins are, they will inevitably choose to gather and check the sound of the explosion without information.

In this way, the method has repeatable conditions.

And after that, the key to the plan lies with Mos…

Phantom Plan!

……

“Ya@&?”

Da da… swish swish swish…

In the silent forest, a team of goblins riding coyotes slowly parted the bushes and walked out.

This is a team of Silver-Rank Goblin Superior Species ━ Goblin Cavalry.

“Wa ya@&lee!”

I saw the leading goblin saying something to the coyote under him, urging the other party to continue exploring forward.

The coyote lowered its head and sniffed, and soon raised its head to look in a certain direction.

“Awoo…”

“Ya#!”

The leading goblin got a response and hurriedly urged the coyote to move forward.

Some time has passed since the explosion just now.

And the subordinates he led to investigate have not returned, and no news has come back.

This “Cavalry Captain” does not know the time, but he also knows that something must have happened if he has not returned for so long.

Although those are just a few insignificant Lower Species, the consequences of delaying the King’s order because of them are also unbearable for this “Cavalry Captain”.

The thought of the King, who made it completely unable to raise any resistance, made its body tremble a few times uncontrollably.

“Ya lee@#%!”

【……Humans!】

Just as the leading goblin was distracted, a sharp roar suddenly awakened it.

Humans?

The leading goblin was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked forward through the rapidly retreating bushes.

Humans!

Under the mountain of corpses piled up, aren’t those hateful humans?!

They seemed to be talking and laughing, kicking away the heads under their feet at will, as if they were showing off their achievements?

Yes, definitely!

Because they used to be like this, showing off the prey they hunted, or… humans!

Anger!

A surge of anger and shame from the mutilation of its kind instantly filled the brain of this “Cavalry Captain”!

“Ya aa——#%!”

A roar resounded through the sky, and the leading goblin quickly raised the lance in his hand and charged forward with his men!

It wants these people… to pay the price for this!

Swish swish swish…

As the wind-breaking lance pierced through the human with a stubble face, the goblin cavalry’s expression froze instantly!

No, it’s different from any touch when attacking with a lance in the past!

Before it could react, the lance crashed into the pile of hills with the goblins!

Bang——!

The violent explosion, fire, and gale engulfed all of the goblin cavalry!

The power of a trap composed of several Explosion Magic Arrays using a large number of Magic Cores as energy is definitely not something these goblins can withstand.

There is no possibility of survival!

Plop!

Whirr…

As the explosion dissipated, scattered limbs and blood rain continued to fall from the sky, turning the original noise into silence.

The forest seemed to have returned to calm once again…

However, this scene was recorded by a flash of light on the top of the tree.

A Slime carrying an Image Crystal was quietly wrapped around a branch.

The next moment, the Slime disappeared again.

Almost at the same moment, an Image Crystal appeared on the bodies of the Slimes scattered throughout the forest.

Soon, the goblins who were originally hunting in the forest suddenly discovered that there were many human figures in their sight!

Those humans were either hacking and killing their helpless kind on the ground with short swords, or they were laughing and talking in front of the piled-up corpses of their kind, counting the Magic Cores in their hands.

“Ya#￥#~!!!”

【Humans! Kill them!】

At this moment, as the goblins in various locations let out a roar in unison.

All the goblins moved!

And soon those humans seemed to have discovered them, and then they turned around and fled in a panic.

This undoubtedly aroused the cruel psychology of teasing prey in the hearts of these goblins.

They kept chasing the humans, hanging them far away, thinking of killing those humans after they were too tired to run.

But at this moment, the goblins did not realize that they were also being led away from their original location.

Until they followed those humans into a white mist.

Chaos… began in the next moment!

In that white mist, there were no humans that the goblins had expected.

All there were were pre-set Magic Core Bomb traps!

Bang—!

Bang——!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…

In an instant, dozens of explosions rang out one after another in the forest.

……

“Yay~! Success!”

“Hahaha——Blast them to death!”

On a small hillside, Salina and Lizbeya raised their hands excitedly, clapping each other and shouting.

“Phew…”

On the side, Mos, who had been focusing all his attention, also opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

“Fortunately, I didn’t disgrace my mission.”

I saw Mos smile at the few people with a “tired” face.

“Well done, Molly!”

Fran shouted at Mos with an excited expression.

Indeed, well done!

Just now, that wave of dozens of explosion points included goblins within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Thousands of goblins were affected by the explosion, with most of them dead or injured…

In a short period of time, there will be no goblin harassment in this area near them.

“Well, a new batch of Magic Cores has begun to be collected, and the next step is to repeat the previous steps.”

Mos smiled and nodded to Salina and Bella.

“I’ll leave the Magic Core Bombs to Salina and Sister Bella.”

“Before the new round of traps is completed, I will let the Slimes in various places wander around with Image Stones, and use white mist and poisonous mist to hold back those goblins.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Salina came to Mos, gave her a V sign, and said with a smile:

“No problem, leave it to us! I’m very good at traps!”

“That’s right, just engraving the Detonation Spell on the Magic Core is simply child’s play for an Elf who is proficient in Magic Array Studies.”

Lizbeya stood aside, stroking her Magic Wand, the smile on her face was inexplicably a little morbid.

“Those goblins should all be blasted to death like this…”

As for Bella’s morbid murmur, let’s ignore it for now!

Fran silently retracted his gaze, looked at the rest of the people, and said with a serious expression:

“If we go further, we will be in the central area of the outer forest!”

“Listen up, although it’s just the outer area, there are also a large number of Gold Rank or higher Demonic Creatures inside.”

“Even if the goblin tribe has the Goblin King, a King-Type Monster, it is impossible to completely rule the entire central area.”

“We must be more careful and act cautiously, so… let’s go!”

“Oh——!”

Reconnaissance Team, break in!

115 kilometers from Asiala, the outer-central area of Hill Forest!
