Chapter 35: Counterattack, Wan's Evacuation
Chapter 35: Counterattack, Wan's Evacuation
To reach the destination, you need to pass through Xiahe Village.
Daenerys led the soldiers inside to search.
"Your Lordship"
"All the supplies inside have been looted."
I opened the map and checked the location of Xiahe Village.
"The previous three lords did not come from the direction of Xiahe Village."
"So there are still people!"
That's how dangerous the secret realm is; no one knows when another enemy will appear.
The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the light.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Chuan summoned the heroes to discuss the matter.
A trial plan was devised.
Arthur's army marched forward.
Viktor disguised himself as Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan followed Arthur.
Daenerys spread out, stealthily searching for her target.
The team split into three.
The lords who followed soon saw this situation.
"They've scattered?"
"What's going on?!"
"They're probably going to search for supplies."
"Hehe, you can tell at a glance that you're a newbie who just entered. In the difficult secret realm, the worst thing you can do is to randomly divide your forces."
"Dividing our forces is just right. If we concentrate our forces and take down the lord, his army can be easily defeated."
"The scout position is to pinpoint the lord's location."
"Found it."
"A mage, surrounded by nearly a thousand soldiers for protection."
"That can't be wrong."
"How do we do it?"
"I have the talent for stealth, which allows me to assassinate at close range, but ordinary soldiers should avoid me."
"Leave it to us."
"It's easy to miss when you're alone. I'm an awakened sharpshooter, equipped with an orange +5 sniper bow."
"And so it went, archers sniping, assassins closing in."
"The two of us will be responsible for drawing the soldiers away."
"Here's a map. There's a good ambush spot up ahead."
"Go over there and ambush us here."
......
Just as they were discussing how to ambush him...
Daenerys's scimitar cavalry, relying on their war wolves, had already discovered the whereabouts of several people.
"Found it."
The news quickly reached Lin Chuan.
"Don't move."
"Be careful, it might get away."
"Instruct the cavalry to set up an encirclement around the perimeter."
"Victor, stop and cooperate with Daenerys."
"Arthur, let's not move."
"Yes."
Lin Chuan will not risk showing himself.
These lords didn't bring a single soldier with them, which clearly means they brought very powerful items.
The lord is fundamental.
As long as the lord doesn't die.
Losing some troops within the secret territory is of no consequence.
Just as several lords were preparing to cross Viktor's army line to set up an ambush.
It was discovered suddenly.
A series of cavalrymen appeared ahead, forming a net.
They're flanking us from the middle.
"not good."
"We've been discovered."
These lords were not novices, and they immediately realized that they had been exposed.
"run!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the lords turned to flee.
But they soon stopped.
Behind them were Daenerys's wolf riders.
The howls of the dire wolves made them instantly realize why they had been exposed.
"Dire wolf".
"How come this guy has a wolf rider?"
"No wonder we were exposed; dire wolves are masters of scent tracking."
It's too late to understand now.
Heavy armored swordsmen appeared beside Viktor, blocking the last gap.
They are lords, not supermen.
It was simply impossible for them to break through the encirclement of heavily armed forces on their own.
"For now, the only option is..."
"thump!"
Several lords knelt down in the direction of Victor.
"Boss."
"Spare me!"
"These are our backpacks and equipment."
"Please let us go, we just want some leftovers."
"Yeah, yeah, boss, please."
It is not shameful to beg for mercy in secret territory.
As long as we can survive and get out, that's fine.
Lords who cannot adapt will go bankrupt and die in poverty.
Of course, this also depends on whether the other party is willing to spare your life.
The group showed considerable sincerity in this regard.
All of them are orange-tier items, which I use as my life-saving money.
Viktor was at a loss for what to do in this situation.
Send a soldier to inquire about Lin Chuan.
"Beg for mercy, or buy your life?"
"Not now."
"Kill them all."
It wasn't that Lin Chuan was bloodthirsty, but rather that these people were following him with ill intentions.
Besides, Lin Chuan had to complete his mission, in case these people continued to follow and launch sneak attacks or backstabbing.
Lin Chuan was absolutely unwilling to take this risk.
Not to mention a few orange items.
Even if it were gold, Lin Chuan would absolutely not agree.
"kill!"
Viktor gave the order.
The lords looked helpless.
One must accept the consequences of a bet, even if it means death.
After killing the five lords, Lin Chuan only obtained some equipment and worthless items.
The combined equipment of each lord is roughly equivalent to the threshold for a difficult dungeon.
"Enter the secret realm by passing the threshold."
"Successfully ambushing a lord is truly a risk-free and highly profitable endeavor."
After dealing with these treacherous lords...
They did not encounter any new lords and successfully reached the mission point.
"Green Village".
Outside the village are large groups of goblins.
These goblins are much stronger than the ones we've encountered before.
There were also goblin cavalry riding wild boars.
The number is also quite large, easily exceeding a thousand.
"The task of disciplining the nuns is exceptionally difficult."
If Lin Chuan hadn't been quite strong, it would have been really difficult to defeat him.
Now that we have reinforcements from the secret realm, it will be even easier to fight.
"Arthur".
"Press forward with sword and shield infantry."
"yes!"
The core is the sword and shield infantry, with the blade and shield infantry as the vanguard.
The goblins on the perimeter rushed forward after spotting them.
This is where the advantage of heavily armored units becomes apparent.
Goblins can't break through the defenses at all.
All those who rushed forward were chopped into pieces.
Even if it's a wild boar goblin charging.
They were also stopped by sword-and-shield infantry.
The shield parry skill blocks ranged goblin damage.
They simply pushed through the goblins and defeated them.
Finally, the goblin chieftain roared, brandishing his weapon, and led his personal guards into battle.
Arthur was coming towards them.
The two-handed greatsword slashed down at his head.
The goblin chieftain's head flew off.
Sword and shield infantry advance.
The goblin guards were squeezed into a pile of minced meat.
The battle ended within half an hour.
The task of cleaning up the battlefield was left to the pikemen.
Lin Chuan entered the village monastery under Arthur's escort.
The entire village has become a battlefield.
The villagers were all killed, and their bodies were hung on the beams to be used as food for the goblins.
Some female villagers were locked inside their houses.
To become a breeding tool for goblins.
Lin Chuan had saved some of them before, but these female villagers were beyond recovery and would soon commit suicide.
"Kill him."
Although it was somewhat regrettable, Lin Chuan still issued the execution order.
Just then, Alice walked over from behind.
"Your Lordship"
"It would be better to let them be influenced by the nuns."
"If we can successfully convert them, they will be the most devout believers in the Holy Light."
"She is also the best candidate to become a battle nun."
Lin Chuan is not a cruel person; he will not be stingy if there is a way to survive.
"It's up to you now."
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
The soldiers then pushed open the closed doors of the monastery.
it's here.
Lin Chuan met the only remaining nun in the courtyard.
"I'm here for rescue."
That was the first thing he said.
The nun's words were also very simple.
"Lady Theresa has committed suicide."
"I killed the other nuns as well."
"I am carrying out Her Excellency Theresa's orders."
"Nuns must never be used as breeding vessels for goblins."
It was only then that Lin Chuan noticed that the other person was covered in blood, but his expression was frighteningly calm.
"Thank you for your rescue."
"Now please escort me to Xiahe Village."
"I will rebuild the monastery there."
"But my monastery is no longer just for spreading the holy light."
"I will train the nuns to punish the enemy with iron and blood."
"Purify their bodies with holy light."
His voice was deep and filled with murderous intent.
Then she looked up at Alice behind Lin Chuan.
"As a reward for the mission."
"I will train her to be the first Disciplinarian, granting her the Seed of Holy Light Disciplinary Power and the right to train Disciplinarians."
"Your Mightiness."
"Are you willing to accept this task?"
There is no reason to refuse.
After accepting the mission, Lin Chuan escorted the nun to Xiahe Village.
At the same time, the lord system will provide a notification.
His location is exposed, and other lords can see his location on the map.
An attack is highly likely.
However, after Lin Chuan killed eight lords.
It seems no other lords have come to their deaths.
They escorted the enemy all the way to Xiahe Village without encountering any enemies, even after the mission was completed.
"Ding-dong."
"After completing the Punishing Nun quest, Alice advances to the next level, undergoes a second awakening, and becomes a Punishing Nun, gaining the new skill Light of Punishment."
"Ding-dong."
"The evacuation route to Xiahe Village is now open. One person can be evacuated at this time. Do you wish to evacuate immediately?"
Having completed his mission, Lin Chuan did not stay any longer.
Leading the legion across the passage, they completed their evacuation.
"Ding-dong."
"The supplies harvested in this challenging dungeon are worth 5600 million."
"Kill 6 lords, 5 alien lords, gain 5000 reputation points, and 1 lord of this civilization, gain 500 reputation points."
"First successful evacuation from a difficult secret realm rewards 100000 experience points."
"First-time completion of the Hard difficulty dungeon rewards you with 1 Achievement Chest".
"First kill of an alien lord, reward achievement chest *1".
"First kill of this civilization's lord, receive reward achievement chest *1".
