The Goblin Commander on the opposite side noticed something was wrong.
He never expected his subordinates to turn around and attack their own kind.
What on earth happened?
The Goblin Commander didn't know what was going on.
But he knew he couldn't let it continue; he had to eliminate those people as quickly as possible.
He mumbled something to a few of his personal guards beside him.
Then, those Goblins stepped forward, their figures turning into shadows, weaving through the battlefield.
The first to be killed was Chu Ruoxue.
Although she didn't cause much damage, the continuous spread of the Fire Wall spell across the battlefield obscured vision, which was one of the main reasons Lickers were able to successfully infect so many Goblins.
Therefore.
The Goblin Assassin's first target was her, the mage.
Next was Chen Yuxuan.
Both of them had weak close-combat abilities and were ranged units that needed protection.
Once the enemy assassins got close, they were instantly eliminated.
"It's actually Shadow Assassins."
Ansaelia said, surprised, beside Chen Yu.
Chen Yu frowned.
He, of course, knew what Shadow Assassins were; Assassins were an advanced class of Thieves, and Shadow Assassins were an advanced class of Assassins.
They were high-level professionals.
Their general skills were very powerful, at least much stronger than Li Ruoshu and the others at this stage.
Li Ruoshu and the others were still just ordinary Swordsmen, Sentinels, and Archers; compared to Shadow Assassins, there was a difference of two full tiers.
Unexpectedly.
Such powerful individuals existed within the Goblin Kingdom, and there were several of them.
Chen Yu's gaze followed, and he discovered a small Goblin wearing a crown beside the Goblin Commander, staring at Chen Yu with venomous eyes.
Clearly.
This small Goblin was the heir to the Goblin Kingdom's throne, the same small Goblin whose backside Qi Maosong had kicked.
These Shadow Assassins were likely here to protect him.
It was evident.
These Shadow Assassins were also very angry, probably feeling a bit disgraced that under their protection, the heir to the throne still got a kick in the backside.
They probably never expected someone to run into the Goblin Kingdom and do such a thing.
Otherwise, Qi Maosong wouldn't have succeeded.
The Shadow Assassin's skills are very powerful.
Their speed is also incredibly fast.
Before long, the three Lickers were cleared out.
Finally, their gaze fell upon Li Ruoshu.
At this moment, Li Ruoshu had already killed over 40 Goblins, and crimson roses bloomed all around her.
A phantom had already appeared on her body; it was the phantom of the Scarlet Queen.
After absorbing the blood power of over 30 Goblins, Li Ruoshu's combat power had greatly increased, and she was in no way inferior when facing a rare-grade Giant Boar Knight.
But when facing the attacks of six Shadow Assassins.
Li Ruoshu still couldn't hold on for long and was quickly killed.
After Contract Adventurer die, their bodies disappear from the spot, and their consciousness returns to the Adventurer's Cabin, where they can be resurrected by consuming soul crystals.
And after Li Ruoshu died.
A huge crimson rose bloomed, and the Scarlet Queen descended.
Faintly, it seemed as if bells were ringing.
Ancient bells echoed across this battlefield.
The Scarlet Queen in her phantom form once again battled the six Shadow Assassins.
Her powerful combat ability clearly surprised these Shadow Assassins.
However, even so, these Shadow Assassins still managed to slay the Scarlet Queen through their combined power.
Not even a crimson energy explosion occurred.
The battlefield then returned to peace.
This battle was somewhat beyond Chen Yu's imagination.
He had originally thought the strongest combat power on the opposing side was the Goblin Boar Knight.
But he never expected several Shadow Assassins to pop out.
This was a bit troublesome.
On the other side.
The Goblin Commander gave Chen Yu a deep look, then ordered a retreat.
The remaining six or seven hundred Goblins retreated in the direction of the Goblin Kingdom.
In this battle.
The six Contract Adventurer actually achieved very good results, having slain over 300 Goblins.
The most significant factor here.
Of course, was the spread of the zombie virus caused by the three Lickers, followed by the more than 40 Goblins personally slain by Li Ruoshu.
However.
Although the enemy suffered many casualties, those who died were relatively weak Goblins.
In this populous kingdom, the weak are not valuable; they can be bred and replenished through breeding boars.
"I didn't expect these Goblins to be even more troublesome than I imagined."
Chen Yu frowned deeply.
Thinking about it now.
Even if the Nemesis Pursuer card were still here, it would be difficult to conquer this Goblin Kingdom.
The first and second stages were unable to cause too much damage.
And while the third stage was powerful, precisely because it was too powerful, its existence was very short, making it still difficult to conquer an entire kingdom.
"It seems that to take down this Goblin Kingdom, more preparation is needed."
Light flickered in Chen Yu's eyes.
The opposing commander probably chose to retreat because he felt the casualties were too heavy.
But from his unwilling gaze, it was clear.
The enemy would return.
"The levels of these Goblin Shadow Assassins seem to have reached level ten, which is the maximum level cap for this Novice Area."
"Their quality is also very high; to defeat them, the Contract Adventurer will also need to undergo an upgrade."
"It seems that Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors will have to be brought forward; at the very least, the job advancement part needs to be set up first, allowing the Contract Adventurer to undergo a job advancement."
"Additionally, soul crystals must be stored well, so that when the time comes, Li Siya can unleash a wave of troops; at least 1000 Golden Holy Lions must be hired."
Chen Yu made up his mind.
After Li Ruoshu and the others resurrected, he immediately arranged for them to go to the mountains on the west side to search for traces of human territory.
Once people with similar appearances are found and become NPCs for Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors, this Dungeon can be completed.
As for Dark Elves, that's a matter for Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors level 40, so there's no rush for now.
After arranging these matters.
Chen Yu once again busied himself with constructing the Dungeon.
After this wave of probing.
Chen Yu already had a general understanding of the Goblin Kingdom's strength.
The level cap for this area was only ten.
Although the Shadow Assassins were strong, their power stopped there.
And Chen Yu's side had plenty of room for development.
It merely pushed back the timeline a bit.
The main reason Chen Yu was determined to take down the Goblin Kingdom was because of its excellent terrain.
Easy to defend, difficult to attack.
Taking over such a territory would save a lot of trouble later.
Moreover, it could build thirty Dungeons at once; conquering one kingdom was equivalent to conquering three lord territories.
Furthermore, the Goblin Kingdom had relatively complete facilities, containing all the necessary buildings.
Therefore.
Chen Yu was determined to seize this kingdom.
