Chapter 512: Saving People

"Twenty people, including Jilie and Feike, who have been staying here."

How could Francine not understand what Thomas meant, but the latter did not know who the real owners of the mercenaries were, so he would never have guessed that Frank would be lying - in fact, when Frank returned to Blanc this time, he brought back at least fifty people just in case, twenty of them returned to the manor villa with him, and the rest lived in Salt Lake City, the druids did not want to die, and Francin did not want his own people to die.

"Okay, then let all these people go with us, except for Raymond, who is going back to the druid settlement, all of us who can fight, and go together to save Muhammad, Flanming, you stay at the manor and take care of the wounded and logistics."

At this point, Thomas's orders were all given, twenty mercenaries, ten of Rogge's personal guards including him, plus Cloud Shadow and five druids, the team of thirty-six people was quickly assembled, fortunately the horses in Boulunc Manor were sufficient, and everyone did not run to save people.

"Alright, then we'll head at full speed to the northern wasteland now!"

As Thomas took the lead, the cavalry behind him immediately galloped for two hours, and when it was completely dark, Thomas ordered to rest in place, and this place was not far from the cornfield where the dwarven tunnels were hidden.

"Cloud Shadow, what do you think?"

"What?"

Cloud Shadow, who was sitting on the ground munching on dry food, didn't expect Thomas to be the first to come and talk to her after getting off the horse.

"Yunying, we need unity now, I need your wisdom, tell me what you think, so that I can verify whether I think the idea is reasonable, we all need to live."

The goblins who don't know where they are because of the fear of being frightened. Thomas ordered no campfires, but his gaze was still fixed on Cloud Shadow's eyes.

"Well, I thought you'd rather go to someone like Hepburn who has experience at first glance and discuss the next course of action."

Cloud Shadow shrugged. Honestly expressed his incomprehension.

"It should be, but I don't want him to have a chance to repeat the word Utherry."

Thomas chuckled. Sit down next to Cloud Shadow, in a way, they're the closest two of the group, because they share a secret in commonโ€”a damn secret.

"Hehe, okay, then what do you want to discuss with a teenage girl?"

Since Thomas wanted to say something, and Yunying was not a hypocritical person, she thought that she could still help somewhat.

"It's simple. Where do you think the goblins will be? โ€

Thomas smiled as if the question was like how many are one plus one.

"Are you kidding? Instead of asking me, you might as well beg Philips in the villa to wake up and tell you right away. โ€

Cloud Shadow stroked his forehead with his hand, but his tone was relaxed.

"It seems that you have a plan in mind, tell me about it."

Thomas naturally heard Cloud Shadow's lightness, which pleased him, he didn't want to waste time with an idiot.

"Well, let me thinkโ€”"

Yun Ying didn't squirm, and said to himself: "Philips fainted before he could tell them where they were in distress, which is really helpless, but his words are not without clues. The first is time. Gina and Philips returned to the Dwarven Tribe yesterday morning, but Philips did come back this afternoon for advice, what does that mean? โ€

"Huh?"

Thomas snorted in response. Let Cloud Shadow continue.

"This shows that Gina and Philips did not go through the tunnel hidden in the cornfield, because it would never take nearly two days to go back and forth between the Bounck estate and the cornfield, which means that the young couple may have walked the moorland road in order to spend more time alone, where they must have met the goblins."

Cloud Shadow unconsciously used his hands to write and draw on the land, so he didn't see the admiration that flashed in Thomas's eyes beside him.

"Excellent, but what about the patriarch of Muhammad? How did he meet the goblins? โ€

Thomas guided Cloud Shadow to continue.

"Well, Gina should have some kind of device that can communicate with the patriarch of Muhammad, and when her daughter is in danger, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally her father. So the patriarch of Muhammad hurried to Gina after receiving a distress call. โ€

"That's right, because of the presence of off-road vehicles. The patriarch of Muhammad was clearly confident that he would be able to rescue his daughter alone, but he did not know that the goblins had already set a trap waiting for him. Perhaps Gina's ability to contact the patriarch of Muhammad was also a deliberate result. โ€

Thomas added to Cloud Shadow's, which made the latter's train of thought clearer.

"Yes, the buggy is indeed strong, but Muhammad is still in danger, and there can only be two explanations for this, either there are enough goblins to cover the world, or - it is the trap set by the goblins that inhibits the buggy!"

Cloud Shadow looked at Thomas vigilantly, they all knew that the power of the off-road vehicle on the plains would be absolutely astonishing, but if it was a ditchy and dense cornfield......

"Looks like we've got a consensus, the goblins are in that cornfield, maybe they've set up traps for us again."

Thomas smiled and looked in the direction of the cornfield, where the undulation of silence not far away seemed to suddenly become unfathomable.

"Tsk, it turns out that you have long been suspicious of the cornfield, so why do you want me to talk for a long time? Are you too unconfident? โ€

Cloud Shadow couldn't get used to Thomas's look of control, so he had to squeeze the other party.

"Hehe, maybe, when human life is at stake, I don't like to put treasure on a person, even if that person is me."

There is no doubt that Thomas's caution is absolutely unique in this group, and perhaps this is the main reason why Rogge trusts him.

"Andโ€”"

Thomas paused before he confessed: "Yunying, you have amazed me again, your reasoning ability is very terrifying, even if it is another ten years, I will never be able to guess the complete story based on a few words from someone, what you just said is like being there, I believe that is at least eighty percent of the truth." โ€

"Oh? You don't think so, so how did you deduce that the goblins were hiding in the cornfields? โ€

Cloud Shadow was really aroused by Thomas's curiosity this time.

"Because of the experience and the smell."

"What?"

Cloud Shadow was confused.

"My father was involved in some goblin hunting operations a long time ago, and he told me that many goblins emit a unique smell when they come together, which is a signal that they unconsciously send to find a mate, and that smell is like well-hydrated earth for us humans." (To be continued).
