"..."

Brother Sha didn't respond, but the saint continued.

"What happened to that child was indeed very tragic... but we didn't suspect it was a goblin at first, because there has never been an example of a goblin invading a large town before.

Later, the guards in the city also stepped up their patrols, but the situation did not improve.Theft, abduction, and violence against women... It wasn't until an adventurer rescued a woman attacked by goblins that it was established that they were behind the scenes.

We also issued a mission to hunt down goblins, but the adventurers in the town..."

"Didn't you come back?" Brother Sha was not surprised, "It happens often."

The novices who had almost fallen into the hands of the goblins looked sad for a moment.

Generally speaking, although goblins are cruel, they are also timid, and they dare not invade large towns. Since they dare to appear in human settlements, it proves that there are a large number of them, which gives them enough sense of security.

Adventurers like Goblin, who are familiar with the habits of goblins, will naturally become vigilant because of this, but ordinary adventurers look down on weak chickens like Goblins, and adventurers in the water capital are compared to the veterans in the border area. In other words, there is also a lack of vigilance.

With the idea of ​​"cleaning up the miscellaneous fish", they went to attack this group of goblins who had become a climate... Of course, the end was not much better.

Originally, after losing many adventurers in a row, local adventurers and residents should also be vigilant, but what is disappointing and puzzling is that this has not happened. Goblins see it as a threat.

The Sword Maiden is an exception. She is well aware of the harm caused by goblins, but for some reason, she cannot personally deal with them.

Moreover, even she couldn't control people's hearts, and it was difficult to change the cognition of the residents in the city, so she had no choice but to turn to the outside world for help.

Just at this time, the poem about "Goblin Slayer" (Goblin Slayer has a fan who is a bard) spread to the Water City, and the Sword Maiden released the commission after knowing its existence.

"If they are really goblins, there must be a lot of them, but where can they hide? This is a city." The female elf scratched her head.

"It's probably a sewer or something." The old dwarf said, "Goblins just like that kind of dark environment, and they don't need to dig holes."

"After all, the city of water is a city with a long history, and there are many ruins underground, which are very suitable for little ghosts to hide."

The lizardman looked at Lin Ye: "What do you think, Your Excellency?"

Lin Ye blinked, then turned to look at Brother Sha: "What do you think?"

"If it were me, I would stay underground and not come out, and would come out at night."

Brother Sha said coldly: "It is dark and vast, there is no better lair than underground waterways."

"Yes, I think so too." Lin Ye nodded approvingly.

"But it's still very strange." The rookie swordsman questioned, "How did so many goblins come to the water capital? It can't be by drilling a hole or climbing over a wall, right? That would definitely be discovered."

"We have no way of knowing about this." The Sword Maiden said, "The guards have not found any secret passages that can be entered or exited."

The Sword Maiden wanted to say something, but Gosha had already stood up and was ready to go.

"It's not too late, let's start now."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Because goblins will continue to do evil." Brother Sha simply said, then turned and left.

Lin Ye and others also stood up one after another. Although some complained about his impatience, they followed up honestly while checking the equipment.

Only the little priest stayed behind and bowed deeply to the Saintess of the Sword: "I'm really sorry, please forgive their rudeness... Then, I will leave now."

Just as she was about to leave, the Sword Maiden called her from behind: "You..."

"Huh? My Lady, what's the matter?"

"You," the Sword Maiden quietly "watched" the little priest, "Aren't you afraid?"

Scared?

"Of course it would be scary."

The little priest held the staff in both hands: "Until now, I can't face the monster calmly, and I will still be frightened."

"Then why did you..."

"Because I have a reliable companion!"

The little priest smiled cheerfully: "Although there are various problems in personality, they are a group of reliable people... So, there will definitely be no problems."

Does this mean that even if you encounter danger, you have to face it with your companions?

The Sword Maiden sighed softly. She also had a rookie period, and she was also folded in the hands of Goblins. Although she was not violated for some reason, she was deprived of her eyes... This made her always look at Goblins. Lin was terrified.

Thus, the Sword Maiden showed an encouraging smile to the little priest.

"Indeed, you and your companions are excellent...May the gods bless you."

-

puff!

Goblin's one-handed sword pierced through the back of a goblin. He swung the shield in his left hand resolutely, and pushed the goblin's corpse off the sword. A side cut killed another goblin, although The movements are simple and unpretentious, but they kill goblins one after another skillfully and precisely.

The rest were not to be outdone, whether it was the three silver-level adventurers or the rookie team headed by the rookie swordsman, they all showed their seasoned fighting skills in this dark underground waterway, and within a short while these twenty or so goblins were killed. I'm all killed.

"call……"

The old dwarf untied the gourd around his waist, took a sip of wine to relieve the thirst in his throat, and let out a long breath.

"It's outrageous, isn't this the fifth time it has been attacked since I came in? There are probably hundreds of them before and after.

How could there be so many goblins in a place like Water City! "

"It's really weird."

Brother Kill made a supplementary attack on a goblin who was pretending to be dead, and said to himself amidst the screams.

"How can the equipment of these guys..."

Lin Ye also squatted down and began to look at these "strange" goblins.

To say it is "strange" does not mean that there is any difference in body shape and appearance. To be honest, these guys are all ugly in his eyes, and Lin Ye is unwilling to look at them carefully.

What made him and Brother Sha curious was that, unlike goblins who dug holes and lived in the wild, these goblins did not just pick up sticks and stones as weapons, but generally had a short sword or dagger. Individuals have even been found carrying iron handaxes.

This is really puzzling, because goblins are creatures that can only plunder. Although they have certain intelligence, they have not accumulated technology. They have always been directly used as tools for stealing or robbing humans.

Even if the goblin group develops to a large scale, there will never be occupations such as "artisan", "farmer", and "blacksmith".

Each of these goblins has a weapon, and it can be said that they are basically of the same style. It is impossible to snatch them all, but if they made them themselves... that would be too abnormal.

Brother Kill has cleaned up countless goblin lairs, but he has never seen a "Goblin Craftsman" before.

"Would you like to retreat to the ground for a while to rest?"

The elf covered his nose: "The smell here makes me want to vomit, and the arrows are also consumed a lot."

The City of Water is worthy of its name. There is a very complicated underground waterway extending in all directions, which is used for daily discharge of sewage and flood discharge. Its width is almost comparable to that of a street, but it is divided into left and right sides by the waterway in the middle.

It is said that this underground waterway system is built on the ruins of the old times, and many places are connected to the underground palace. Even the officials of the water capital have not explored all the corners clearly.

But no matter how magnificent it is, it is a sewer after all, and the smell will definitely be very "sour". Of course, the elves who have always loved cleanliness and have a keen sense of smell cannot bear it.

"Compared to here, the smell of the Goblin Cave is even better."

"...I think it's pretty good here."

"what?"

The female elf looked at the little priest in surprise, but the blond girl had a meaningful expression: "At least there is no need to 'eliminate' our smell."

"..."

Only then did the female elf realize that if she was exploring an ordinary goblin cave, then according to Goblin's habit, all members would have to be smeared with the stinky goblin blood...

"You're right." The female elf's eyelids twitched, "Indeed."

"Wait a minute! Be quiet!"

Lin Ye suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to be more vigilant.

"what happened?"

Immediately the elf drew her arrows to her bow, so as to be the first to fight in an encounter.

Brother Killer and the newcomers also made preparations one after another, standing in their respective positions according to the usual rehearsal.

"There is something... a strange sound."

Lin Ye looked up to the upper reaches of the river, deep into the darkness.

"Not right!"

- Boom!

A slight vibration came from the depths of the darkness, and everyone couldn't help becoming tense under their breaths.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound became louder and clearer, indicating that the target was getting closer and closer to them, accompanied by the sound of splashing water.

"coming!"

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, and suddenly snatched the torch from the rookie swordsman next to him, and threw it upstream——

The flame quickly passed by, clearly illuminating the foreign objects flowing down the river, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.

"Goblin?"

"Boat?! How is it possible!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

"OHHHH!"

What appeared amidst the sound of war drums was a warship carrying dozens of goblins!

Chapter 156 Chapter 142: The Intruding Marsh Dragon

In all fairness, calling it a "warship" is a bit of an understatement.

It was not such a huge ship, its shape was flat and crude, and its material was not as good as it could be seen at a glance. It was not even as good as a larger fishing boat, but no matter how bad it was, it could sail in this underground waterway, and That's enough.

Their mission is not real navigation, they are just used as patrol vehicles for goblins in this underground world.

What really shocked everyone was the fact that "goblins are actually building a boat".

In everyone's impression, although goblins can also use human tools, most of them are tools with simple principles, and ships... even humans need certain training to control them.

Even if the underground waterway does not have the wind and waves above the rivers, lakes and seas, and the difficulty of driving is much lower, it is definitely not something that goblins can master!

"Be careful! The attack is coming!" the dwarf old man roared.

Just like what he said, the goblins also immediately spotted Lin Ye and the others on the bank. The guy in charge laughed ferociously and uttered a few syllables with unknown meanings, and then two teams of goblins ran out of the cabin Gathering to the ship's side, one by one lined up as if they had been trained, and drew the short bow in their hands.

——These beasts actually have batches of bows and arrows!

"【Compassionate Mother Earth!】"

Almost immediately the little priest raised his staff and began to chant the holy incantation.

hum!

A layer of transparent barrier exuding white radiance appeared in front of everyone, and the next moment flying arrows pierced through the air and hit the [Holy Wall] like raindrops, but were blocked without exception.

"I can't last too long." The little priest said seriously.

"It won't take long."

[Holy Wall] is not a protective cover that isolates the inside and outside, but a unilateral shield that only defends against external attacks, but does not hinder internal travel.

The female elf's sharp eyes swept across the boat, and she let go of her fingers. Suddenly, an arrow shot across the void at the sound of the bowstring, and under the guidance of the wind elf, it hit the head goblin.

puff!

Without any suspense, the goblin leader became a female elf's record as soon as the battle started.
