A burst of multicolored light rose into the sky.

With this light, Joseph vanished.

The remnants of the city defense army found that their captain was missing, and they all rushed towards the red hat goblin frantically!

Among the remaining more than 300 NPCs, there are more than a dozen second-order NPCs with bronze and silver lord-level strength, and there is even a gold-level elemental.

Deputy Captain of the 1st Brigade of the City Defense Army, Theon Blair.

There were only six level 50 Silver Lord Red Hat Goblins on the other side, and in Theon's opinion, if it weren't for the use of trickery, the opponent would not be an opponent at all!

The Red Hat Goblin finally reached Theon's attack range, stretched out his amethyst-encrusted staff, and chanted a spell.

"Second-Order Imprisonment Magic, [Starfire Chain]!"

Immediately, a red iron chain appeared out of thin air, directly linking the six Red Riding Hood goblins together!

While the Red Hat Goblin couldn't move, the second-order NPCs who arrived later frantically vented their hatred on him!

As the NPC and the goblin fought fiercely, Chu Li appeared in a shadow, and his brows furrowed.

Obviously, the Mercenary Guild miscalculated the difficulty of this mission, no matter how you look at it, it is not only a three-star difficulty, but at least a five-star difficulty!

And how could the goblins set up an ambush in advance in this Quinn Valley, causing the crusading army to lose most of its strength.

Could it be that a mole leaked the movement of the march?

What is hidden behind this mission?

And just as Chu Li was thinking, the battle was also coming to an end.

Including the Red Hat Goblins, the two or three thousand goblins who attacked were all wiped out.

The Raiders suffered equally heavy losses, bringing dozens of NPCs to the burial of the six Red Riding Hood Goblins as they were dying.

As a result, there are only more than 200 NPCs left, and they are all dragging stumps and broken bones, and they are scarred.

At Theon's command, the people rested in place.

Under the organization of a second-order priest, the wounded gathered together, and then the priest's prayer sounded, and in a green light, the body was stitched up, the blood stopped, and the wound no longer cracked.

Chu Li casually walked to a bunch of second-order NPCs, the current leaders of the crusading army.

Theon, as the most powerful of the crusading army, sat at the top, listening to the argument below with a headache on his face.

On one side are the city defense army, and on the other side are mercenaries.

Mercenary Leader, Level 50 Silver Lord, Second Order Ranger, Peeta.

Centaurs, carrying emerald green longbows and hats with white goose feathers on their heads.

As a supporter of the retreat back to the city of Barra, Pita is trying to convince the leader of the opposing city defense forces.

Captain of the First Squadron of the First Brigade of the Third City Defense Army, Level 50 Silver Lord, Second Order Swordsman, Paraf.

"I'm afraid of Lord Raff, I know you are anxious about the safety of your captain, but we have just experienced a big battle now, and you know how heavy the casualties are, and you can no longer afford to crusade against the goblins. And I think there's a good chance that the information was wrong, as it was clear that we had leaked the march to lead to the ambush, as well as the red hat goblin that we had never seen before. I hope you'll understand us, retreat back to Barra, and then gather a large number of men to fight the goblins, this is the safest way! ”

Syllable!

Palav slammed the table, stood up and shouted:

"Shit! I think you're a fool! Captain Joseph, he's my own brother, and I can't watch him get into danger! If it is delayed any longer, the eldest brother will really not be saved! ”

With that, Palaf turned his gaze to Theon.

"Vice Captain Theon, if you don't go, I'll take my subordinates myself!"

And Pita also turned her head and advised Theon, "Lord Theon, this is really too dangerous! ”

The two sides had their own opinions, and Theon also touched his forehead in annoyance, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"Let's do it, both sides take a step back, we really can't leave Captain Joseph behind, and then we have to go to the goblin camp to crusade, after all, we have killed so many goblins, and it is expected that there are not many goblins left in the goblin camp, but for the sake of safety, please also ask Lord Pita to go back to Bara for help, and Paraf, you also send your best scouts to the nearest Red Maple Town to send a garrison over.

Theon's words and arrangements made Pita sigh involuntarily, and after receiving the order, he hugged his fists and retreated.

When Chu Li heard this, he secretly said that it was not good.

Chu Li quite agrees with Pita's point of view, the water behind this goblin is a bit deep, and with his current strength, it is difficult to even protect himself.

Who would have thought that Palaf, a reckless man, would not even care about his life in order to save his brother.

It's a bit tricky.

Chu Li wanted to slip away, but once he took the initiative to give up the task, he would be punished by prestige.

I had no choice but to follow Theon and the others to the Obsidian Forest.

After a short rest, Theon ordered the rest of the group to continue to the goblin camp.

...

Obsidian forest.

The slender pinnacles are continuous, and there are craggy stones everywhere.

A geologist in Luxembourg once discovered the precious obsidian, a main material for equipment building.

When the Delauno Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg learned of this, they paid for the excavation, but as the obsidian was excavated, the area was no longer taken seriously, leaving many barren caves that were eventually occupied by goblins.

More than 200 crusaders, led by Vice-Captain Theon, finally arrived here.

After Pita left, Nar, a Wind Thief with the strength of a second-order bronze lord, became the leader of the mercenaries.

Nar looked at the mine ahead, sniffed the damp dirt on the ground, and whispered to Theon behind him, "There are no traps!"

Chu Li looked at Nar with some surprise, but he didn't expect that he also had a second-order skill [Trap Detection].

This is one of the less popular skills.

Hearing Nar's words, Theon nodded and turned to beckon to his command.

"The knights follow Lord Nar in the front, and the thieves and warriors in the back."

"Let's go!"

...

In the dark cavern, a rusty transport rail was laid on the ground, and the magic oil lamps on both sides had long since ceased to work.

The dim light of the fire appeared on the side of the dark mine, and as the figures continued to appear, the originally dark mine was illuminated by the fire as if it were day.

It was the crusaders who had gone deep into the mines.

Chu Li followed a few NPCs to stay in the back half of the crowd, cautiously observing the surroundings.

Suddenly, there was a movement around the corner ahead.

Chu Li and the others hurriedly crossed the corner, but the scene that appeared made Chu Li also feel numb.

The large army that had been in front of them was gone!

Chu Li and more than a dozen NPCs stared at each other, completely unaware of what was going on.

But fortunately, with Palaf, a second-order swordsman, everyone can still hold their breath.

Chu Li touched the wall in front of him and reminded everyone:

"Be careful, everyone, the goblins actually used the mine's diversion device to separate us into another passage!"
