Chapter 12: Saving the Caravan

Although he was slapped in the face by the system, Edward accepted the system task happily.

After all, after a few days of exploration and familiarity with the existence of the system, he also understood that he could get more experience points and rewards by doing tasks than looking for monsters everywhere.

It's just that the ones I received before were all things like [Daily Quest - Hunt 10 Rodents] and [Weekly Quest - Collect 30 Boar Fangs], and this is the first time I have encountered a side quest.

After determining the content of the mission, several people immediately sneaked closer in the direction where the sound of battle came.

Soon they reached the edge of the battlefield, hiding in a thick bush to peek into the field.

The battle took place in a fairly wide glade, with several wagons in the middle of the clearing, which Edward immediately recognized as the wandering wagons of the traveling merchants. In the past, Kenwison Village would occasionally be visited by traveling merchants, and at that time, the whole village would become as lively as a festival. Unfortunately, Kenwison Village was so poor that the whole village had no savings, and the traveling merchants did not make much money in the village, so they did not appear much over time.

Outside there were densely packed goblins more than a meter tall, and although they didn't have any decent weapons or armor, they roughly numbered more than a hundred.

The camel beasts of the wagon had died, and the carcasses had been piled up around the wagon by sword-wielding mercenaries to be used as improvised fortifications.

There were about eleven or two mercenaries and traveling merchants, although they were sharpened and their leather armor was excellent, but they could not resist the ants biting the elephant to death, and two wounded men who had lost their combat ability had already appeared in the improvised defensive circle built by the carcasses of camel beasts, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were lost.

"What to do? Want to get your hands dirty? Joe swallowed and whispered to Edward.

"......" Edward bit his nails, looking a little hesitant.

Even Dogdan and Jessica looked a little hesitant.

It was the first time they had faced such a dangerous situation, and what worried them even more was that there were so many goblins that even if they went up to help together, they might be killed by the goblins!

Even though they have become 'players', Sivi has also mentioned to them that they can be resurrected even if they die if they have enough experience. But their mentality has not been completely reversed, and although there have been many bumps and injuries in the time since they set out from Ken Wilson Village, no one has ever 'died' so far.

But Alina didn't mind that. As a saint, her faith itself is much stronger than the other four.

"If you don't do it, let me get the goblins' attention." The girl was eager to try: "I think I can hit ten!" โ€

"But they're definitely more than a hundred." Dogan retorted quietly.

"Little Ancestor, you are the only one of us who can resurrect the technique, if you die in battle, according to what the Lord said, we will have to wait for three days before we can be resurrected!" Edward hurriedly stopped.

"And 20 percent more experience will be deducted." Jessica added.

"Eh, but I'm really bored when I hide behind every time......"

Alina grumbled dissatisfied.

Edward gave Joe, who was a warrior, a 'you can help persuade her too'.

Joe immediately showed a look of understanding.

Then he just yelled 'Wryyyyy! Burst out of the bushes and slew at the goblins.

Suddenly, the eyes of the entire battlefield, including the goblins and mercenaries, all looked at them.

"That idiot!"

Edward didn't bother to continue talking to Aliana, and picked up his staff and hurried to follow.

The dog was quicker and had already wound up and shot over a goblin that wanted to sneak up on Joe. Jessica threw Joe a power boost.

"We are the people of the 'Silver Wind Chime' Chamber of Commerce, thank you for your support!" A middle-aged man dressed as a merchant in the group of mercenaries shouted to them with joy.

It's just that after waiting for a moment, he shouted strangely, "What about the follow-up support?" Where are you adults? โ€

"There's no follow-up," Edward said with a frostblast that froze the two goblins, before replying, "It's just the five of us." โ€

So the middle-aged man's originally overjoyed expression suddenly changed to the crying and mourning look he had before.

The five imps who didn't have any hair, in this situation of being attacked by the goblin tribe, are simply a drop in the bucket, and they can't even bubble up if they are dropped.

But it didn't take long for his expression to change againโ€”the five strange imps were unexpectedly powerful.

Although the most burly imp is weak in forehand and weak in backhand, unsteady in step and slow in response, none of them have decent movements, but he can pick a goblin into the air with every sword, whether the goblin is charging or swinging a wooden stick before, there is no difference, all of them will be knocked away!

The strange thing is that if it were other swordsmen, at this time, they should have directly made up for the goblin key points that had nowhere to escape and dodge, and directly killed them, but he was different...... After picking off the goblin with his sword, his next step is to grapple with the opponent and take a back throw......

Although it is very powerful, I always feel that something is wrong.

As for the mage imp who looked like the head of the head, it was even more incredible, the middle-aged man had seen those mages in the big city before, and he was fortunate enough to watch them cast spells up close, but those mages either had to chant spells before casting spells, or they had to prepare spell casting materials, even if they were more powerful, they had to make a gesture or something to cast spells.

Although the mage imp only has two tricks, ice balls and fireballs, he can directly cast magic without any preparation.

Ordinary mage: "O water spirit of the atmosphere, obey my call, gather, change, form, in the name of ice, freeze the blood and bones of the enemy, and bring the dead cold to the earth......"

Mage Imp: "Frost Bomb." โ€

That's pretty much how it feels.

And it lasted for such a long time, and the power of his magic did not decrease at all, which is really incredible!
