Chapter 174: Shameless Goblins!

"Orc! Orc!"

Amidst the shouts, a horde of goblins suddenly surged from the forest, surrounding Neo's group in the middle of the road so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

"Go... Goblins!"

Neo and the others were still fantasizing about the happy life awaiting them back in Eagle City.

They never expected such a sudden surge of so many ugly goblins.

"Orc! Orc!"

Seeing the goblins about to launch an attack, Neo hurriedly shouted, "Great Goblins, do not attack us! We are willing to buy our lives with gold coins!"

"Moreover, we have a Title Knight among us, very powerful. If you truly fight us, it will not be profitable!"

"Orc, gold coins?" The goblin leader immediately called a halt to his subordinates, his eyeballs rolling, "Bring out the gold coins, Orc!"

Seeing that the other side truly had no inclination to continue attacking, Neo felt both delighted and heart-aching, but he still quickly rummaged in his chest and pulled out... a single gold coin!

"A single gold coin? Too little, Orc! Charge up and kill these two-legged sheep of the human race!" The goblin leader's face turned green, and he immediately flew into a rage.

"No, no, no, I have more here! Don't be impulsive first, you don't be impulsive first!"

Terrified, cold sweat broke out on Neo, and he dared not fool these goblins again.

Soon, ten gold coins were pulled out, along with the bag of silver coins and copper coins obtained from Baron Storm's fortress at the very beginning.

But seeing that the goblins in the distance were still not satisfied at all, he immediately turned to his subordinates around him and said, "Quick, bring out all the money on your bodies!"

"This..."

"Hurry up with the damn thing, we'll talk once it's safe!" Neo shouted in anger, frantic.

The subordinates, thinking that Neo still had a large amount of gold coins on him, finally each pulled out their own heavy money bags.

"Great Goblins, this is all the gold coins we have. We give it all to you, please spare us!"

The goblin leader's eyeballs rolled, and this time he finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Orc! Put the money down!"

Neo and the others immediately happily placed the money a few meters ahead and then waited for the goblins to collect the money.

The goblin leader, accompanied by several dozen subordinates, walked forward slowly and soon picked up the money bags one by one.

Looking at the golden and silver glinting in his hands, the goblin leader's ugly, dark green face smiled even more brilliantly.

"Good! Good! Orc!"

"Great Goblins, can we go now?" Neo, feeling relieved, cautiously opened his mouth to ask.

The goblin leader looked at Neo, a face full of mockery, and said, "Go? You cannot go. You are the food of the Great Goblins! Little ones, kill these two-legged sheep..."

"You shameless, dirty goblins!" Neo was stunned by this sudden turn of events from the goblin leader.

"Kill! Orc! Orc!"

Then, before Neo and the others could react, several dozen Bugbears beside the goblin leader charged up first.

And the goblins around them also launched a charge all at once.

"Two-legged sheep, killing you, not only will the gold coins belong to me, but you can also become delicious dishes. What if I am a bit despicable? Orc!"

Having finished speaking, thinking of the group of two-legged sheep who guided the way, he couldn't help but mutter again, "Later, that group of two-legged sheep who guided the way must also be killed. Although what they said is true, so what? Only a fool would let them go! Orc!"

Good heavens!

Fortunately, Lei Meng did not hear such shameless words from this goblin leader; otherwise, he would probably have been unable to resist jumping up on the spot and giving them two knife strikes.

And as the battle erupted ahead, this goblin leader, holding the gold coins, retreated happily all the way to the edge of the forest.

Glancing at Lei Meng and the others behind the bushes, seeing them all extremely obedient, he temporarily paid them no more attention and only focused on the battlefield ahead.

It was just that this goblin leader did not know that Lei Meng had already untied the ropes on his body.

The reason he did not act immediately was that he needed to act only after Neo died.

Thus, Lei Meng and the others continued to listen to the shouts and killing sounds outside the forest and waited.

And Neo naturally would not let Lei Meng and the others wait too long.

Although their group had a ten-man cavalry squad to protect them, and there was also a Title Knight in the ranks.

But goblins are dirty, despicable, land-based ticks.

They are best at winning when the situation is favorable.

They play the game of bullying the few with the many very skillfully.

Before long, even the only Bronze Knight in the squad was already injured, and the rest of the cavalry were dead, four or five of them.

"Damn goblins, bastards, sons of bitches, you do not keep your word!"

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Amidst the unwilling curses, Neo was finally pierced in the abdomen by several bone spikes simultaneously.

Chirp!

As Neo was severely injured, a high-pitched cry came from hundreds of meters high in the sky.

Lei Meng and Knight Mi Gen exchanged a glance and immediately took action.

Only to see Lei Meng suddenly spring up, with combat qi supporting his body, and with a few solid punches, he smashed five goblins and two Bugbears, who were in a daze, to the ground.

"What is happening, Orc!"

The goblin leader ahead also heard the commotion and turned his head, cursing.

But the next instant, he found a palm and a fist the size of a sand pot coming straight for his head.

The palm grabbed his collar, and the fist the size of a sand pot smashed directly into his face.

With a thud, the goblin leader's head shook, feeling many golden stars constantly flashing around him.

"If you do not want to die, immediately do as I command!!"

Before the goblin leader could react to what was happening, a short blade was already pressed against his neck.

"No... don't kill me, Orc, I surrender, I'll obey you!"

Thus, the goblins in the battle soon heard the sound of the bone whistle.

And the command of this bone whistle was for them to stop fighting immediately and stay where they were.

The goblins and bugbears looked at each other in confusion, hesitatingly staying in place.

And the few remaining cavalrymen and that Bronze Knight dared not delay; they didn't even think about what was wrong with these goblins, but instead immediately took advantage of the goblins' daze to charge out of the encirclement.

After the group of survivors escaped, the bone whistle sounded again, this time ordering the goblins to withdraw immediately.

But the goblins weren't actually that stupid; after reacting, they immediately sensed something was wrong.

Thus, the group of goblins soon discovered that their leader had been captured.

However, these goblins also dared not approach, because their leader was still in the hands of these humans.

"Mi Gen, let's go!"

"Yes, Knight Commander Lei Meng!"

Immediately, Lei Meng and the others began to move while holding the goblin leader hostage.

And as they moved, the other goblins and bugbears followed them all.

Just like that, the original battlefield was left with nothing but corpses.

Splash! Splash!

Several figures descended from the sky.

It was Gervas and Evelan riding Zuiyue.

After all, that bag of gold coins was still on Neo.

And what made Gervas even more delighted was that when he arrived before Neo, this fellow was not yet dead!

"You... it's you..."

Originally, Neo's eyes were nearly dim with despair.

But the moment he saw Gervas, they instantly cleared up.

His complexion suddenly flushed red.

Of course, this wasn't because his health had improved, but because he was furious.

Neo wasn't stupid; with Gervas's appearance, how could he not understand that all of this was his scheme!
