I, the Goblin Emperor, Rule the World - EP.39

“It’s strange. Apart from those wolves, there are no other ferocious beasts here. After being occupied by the wild forest wolves, there shouldn’t be any goblins living here. The goblins hiding here are most likely roaming in the central area.”

Andayal decided to survey the outer perimeter first, mainly to reconstruct what happened at that time. She wanted to understand what actions the goblins took to deceive others and make them believe that Lila died in the goblin’s lair.

Although the information that had been received described the course of events quite thoroughly, the bodies didn’t match up, indicating that there were still secrets unknown to others.

At this moment, one of Mia’s guards beside her spoke up, “Lady Mia, please send another piece of armor inside your armor.”

By this, he meant that the recent shivering was probably due to her catching a cold.

Everyone was momentarily stunned, then smiled knowingly.

Indeed, wandering outside in not very warm weather, and wearing such light clothing, could easily lead to catching a cold. During her school days, Mia would often catch colds even in extremely cold weather while wearing short sleeves.

Miss Andayal, who was often frail and sickly, was always mindful of keeping warm.

Mia suddenly felt embarrassed, as if losing face in such a situation. She felt like a cat with its tail stepped on.

“Shut up! I’m perfectly fine, how could I possibly catch a cold!”

Mia’s denial brought smiles to Andayal and the others.

“Alright, let’s continue forward. Let’s make sure to complete the survey today.”

Andayal lightly covered her slightly upturned lips with her hand, and her mood quickly calmed down.

She didn’t want the atmosphere to be too lively and cheerful at the place where poor Lila met her tragic fate. It wasn’t a place for laughter.

“Lila, you silly girl, wait for me. I will definitely come back to save you.”

Miss Andayal’s gaze drifted towards the distant forest, her mood slightly heavy as they continued forward.

The others noticed Andayal’s mood as well and refrained from speaking further, hastening to investigate the several goblin lairs.

In the outer perimeter of the Strange Mist Forest, there were no less than a dozen goblin caves, but only two were large. One collapsed, and the other was engulfed in flames, leaving no trace behind.

After a day of exploration, Andayal wiped the beads of sweat, carrying the scent of youth, from her forehead and took out the previous map, making modifications. Then, in her mind, she revisited the events that occurred a month ago when Lila was attacked by goblins.

Firstly, Lila was on her way to the Duke of Nas’s mansion, and the leader of the guards fell into a trap. A goblin shaman with a level 2 magic depth cast a fireball, causing chaos. Two white goblin ghosts and a group of little ghosts appeared, and Lila was captured.

Subsequently, the guards who remained tried to enter multiple times but were obstructed by the goblins’ traps and ambushes, missing the best opportunity to rescue Lila.

Later, a vanguard led by several intermediate knights arrived to resist and rescue Lila. The initial battle unfolded as expected. It was during this time that someone spotted a woman’s body in the first goblin cave. The woman was wearing Lila’s clothes. Finally, a sudden fire broke out, causing chaos in the cave, and the goblins inside attempted to perish together with the rescuers.

After that, while waiting for reinforcements to sweep the goblin territory, the human forces were attacked by the little goblins during the night. A junior female knight named Cas O’Bleu was surrounded amid the laughter and tearing of clothes by the grotesque goblins and confirmed missing.

It wasn’t until the next day that Count Earl Rogerson’s army arrived to besiege the goblins, and they managed to eliminate the remaining third white goblin and two goblin shamans, including the level 2 magic depth purple demon goblin.

During the battle, the purple demon goblin burned down its cave, bringing an end to the incident.

After confirming the detailed map environment and combining it with the details, Andayal reconstructed everything in her mind. Finally, the scenes closest to the truth appeared in her mind.

“Everyone, Count Earl Rogerson’s army was deceived. There are indeed goblins here, and there must be a cunning and highly intelligent Red Devil Goblin behind it all.

Lila and the female knight who went missing at the time are not dead. They were captured by that Red Devil Goblin and used as breeding goblins’ incubators!”

Chapter 62: Goblin Army Appears!

Thinking about the true events of Lila’s tragedy and the terrifying smile of the ugly goblin behind it all, Andayal shivered.

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the mysterious night of the forest approached the girls quietly.

Everyone gathered around, looking at the map in Andayal’s hands.

Andayal’s expression was solemn as she revealed the truth to everyone.

“The first group that came to rescue Lila and those guards and adventurers fell into a fatal trap when they arrived here.

The goblin behind the little goblins cleverly used people’s psychology and control of the terrain here, leading them into an abandoned goblin cave.

Through today’s survey, I found that the collapsed goblin cave lacked many traces of goblin activity.

The goblin plotting everything behind the scenes exploited the fact that those people didn’t understand this place, directly leading them to misjudge the core gathering place of the goblins, which later caused the vanguard to attack the wrong place.

The next morning, Andayal’s complexion was somewhat unsightly.

The scene she had seen in her dreams last night lingered in her mind.

Today, she must rescue Lila!

The others also looked a bit tired.

Mia stretched and yawned, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

Ah, the cute girl had been watched by goblins all night but had safely spent the night in the forest. Truly thrilling.

Human girls, they’d better escape while they still can.

“Wow, today, I’m going to defeat fifty goblins for sure!”

Mia waved her fist, eager to try. Indeed, she was a girl with an IQ of only 80, not carrying bad moods into the next day.

“Of course, while it’s fun to play, please make sure to eliminate all the goblins here. I don’t want any goblins left alive.”

“Understood,” everyone nodded.

Mia was somewhat disappointed.

“Just one Red Devil Goblin isn’t enough to fight. I hope there are more high-level goblins.”

“Don’t worry, Mia. Although one less is a bit of a pity, when we join forces, it will end quickly. But we’ll leave a bit of a challenge for that Red Devil later, just for you.” Andayal smiled faintly.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Indeed, women were not to be trifled with when angry.

“Yay!” Mia excitedly waved her fist.

The group continued forward, this time prepared for battle. Before long, they entered the central area of the Misty Forest, stepping into the true territory of the goblins.

Their strategy was straightforward: kill any goblins they encountered immediately, denying them the chance to alert others, then surround their caves and launch a surprise attack on their main base.

No sooner said than done.

The group steadily advanced forward.

Excellent, they finally encountered the first goblin after entering the Misty Forest, a Red Devil Goblin.

“The boss behind the scenes dares to show up so soon?”

Kander grinned at the sight of the Red Devil Goblin, who still looked immature and easy to bully. He drew his magic weapon, Black Howl.

“This guy, I can take him down alone!”

The group rushed forward, brandishing their weapons.

“Huh, humans? Let’s not resort to violence, shall we? Let’s sit down and have a chat.”

The Red Devil Goblin, Erlie, offered friendly advice upon spotting the human invaders.

“Don’t leave any survivors! Kill it and rescue Lila!”

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Andayal’s eyes.

Negotiations broke down.

In the next moment, Ga One, Ga Two, and Ga Three, the Red Devil siblings, wolfish goblin knights, each rode out on a wild forest wolf from the bushes behind Erlie.

The group paused, staring at the three additional Red Devil Goblins that had appeared.

One experienced guard exclaimed, “These three Red Devil Goblins aren’t fully grown yet, their strength is not that of intermediate beasts. We can easily kill them, don’t stop!”

“Not fully grown and still dare to jump out, looking for trouble!”

Mia became even more excited; this was enough for her to fight!

The next moment, rustling figures appeared once again.

A Purple Demon Goblin priest came forward holding a goblin staff. (No problem, just one more Purple Demon Goblin!)

Four Purple Demon Goblin shamans followed. (No problem, just add four more little goblins!)

Ten Goblin Berserkers emerged from behind. (...)
