20 Chapter 19: Luxurious Lineup_1

Translator: 549690339

Mu Yuan did not head straight to the Goblin Camp. Instead, he led his team back to the village for some rest and recovery. He then took some time to explore the surrounding dark regions and slay a few minor monsters to warm up, but he didn’t go too far.

Time passed, and soon it was six in the evening.

Throughout the day, Mu Yuan had managed to gather up 80g+ of Soul Sand, two Random Remnant Souls, and several ordinary materials. However, these things were not important. What mattered was what he was about to do next.

A great battle.

Mu Yuan had already finished his dinner early. He was now making final preparations for the battlefield – using the restroom to clear out his system and positioning his snacks, tissues, and mineral water within easy reach.

He was ready for battle.

Inside the game world, Dead Bone was also assembling his troops very seriously.

Dead Bone stood at the very front.

Behind him were several Skeleton Soldiers and Little Skeletons.

By mere numbers, this force was not enough to mount an assault, but among these Skeletons, there were a formidable eight Skeleton Soldiers!

Eight Three-Star Skeleton Soldiers! And one Skeleton Warrior!

The day before, Mu Yuan only had Dead Bone and two other Skeleton Soldiers. He evolved two more in the early morning, and by nightfall… He deliberately dragged the time until after six o’clock to evolve more Skeleton Soldiers.

The serial number of the Skeleton Soldiers had reached ‘Bone Nine’.

At this moment, it was still sunny on the Eternal Continent, with a lovely scenery.

“It’s time to move out.”

He muttered.

In Dead Bone’s hand was a shield that he had borrowed from another Skeleton Soldier. Brandishing a massive sword, he carefully but forcefully moved towards outside of the territory.

Further back, there was a team made up of six Skeleton Soldiers and two Little Skeletons.

Mu Yuan was standing in the middle, in the most steady position.

His assigned combat personnel included Dead Bone and five Skeleton Soldiers. Among them, Bone Two was already able to wield the Cleave skill quickly, and even Bone N, who had not yet learned how to use skills in battle, had combat power exceeding that of the Wolf King a few days ago.

One rare soldier, one three-star soldier who could use skills, and four slightly stronger than regular three-star soldiers.

This lineup was extremely extravagant!

Another Skeleton Soldier had the main duty to act as Mu Yuan’s assistant.

However, he felt that only one Skeleton Soldier acting as an assistant was not safe enough… not enough, so he also called up two Little Skeletons. After all, the speed of the team depended on him, and bringing a few more Little Skeletons did not affect that.

The group set off, heading directly for their destination, the Goblin Camp.

This route had been previously explored, so the journey went fast. In no time, the Goblin Camp appeared in their line of sight.

This location was a depression in the hills, with less vegetation and good visibility. From a distance, large tents could be seen, formed from massive logs that would require two or three people to circle around, driven into the ground and braided with vine, covered with animal hides. The style was rough and primitive, yet from afar it looked quite spectacular.

“The Goblin Camp.”

Mu Yuan had searched for related information on the forums.

Goblins were small, cunning, and cowardly. However, when many Goblins gathered together, they started to learn to cooperate, use tactics, and set traps, causing even high-star monsters to avoid confrontation.

Moreover, within the camp, there were Goblin Spearmen and more than one Big Goblin.

“This Goblin camp, I’m afraid, is a stronghold within several miles.”

At the front of the camp, a Big Goblin shuffled forth, dragging along several Grey Wolf bodies and threw them in front of the Little Goblins.

These Goblins immediately moved forward, deftly using their little knives to butcher the wolves. Their actions were very proficient.

Mu Yuan even saw a skeleton of some giant beast about two or three meters tall at the entrance of the camp, and also skulls from humanoid creatures stacked there.

Blood was splattered all over the camp entrance, with scattered pieces of flesh and limbs strewn all around.

This game wouldn’t pass an 18+ rating with scenes like these.

Mu Yuan stopped a few hundred meters away from the camp and said to Dead Bone, “Whether we can conquer the Goblin Camp today is not important, safety first.”

After all, these were his hardworking employees.

Today, Mu Yuan planned to hand the command over to Dead Bone, to see if he had mastered the basics of commanding.

Dead Bone solemnly agreed.

The Goblin camp in front of him was the most formidable enemy he has ever faced in this life. How could he afford not to be careful and cautious?

Dead Bone didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he perched on a tree a few hundred meters away to watch the Goblins at the distant camp, observing their movements, lifestyles, trap arrangements, and combat methods…

A full half an hour later, Dead Bone climbed down from the tree, his eye sockets brimming with the ominous glint of his Soul Flame.

…

“It has begun.”

A bit further away, Mu Yuan stood within the protective circle of Skeleton Soldiers and Little Skeletons, watching with a degree of tension.

He had already simulated the battle situation in his mind. Even if the Goblin Camp had more strength than expected, he was confident in retreating while fighting.

However, by then, it would be impossible to avoid losses. He would inevitably have to leave some lingering skeletons to cover the retreat.

He also worried about shortcomings in Dead Bone’s command.

No, rather, it’s inevitable that Dead Bone’s command will have problems sooner or later. After all, he had only been revived for two and a half days.

Even if he had awakened self-awareness, it was a blank slate that needed constant learning. It was already impressive that he could command other skeletons in combat

He could not demand too much.

What he needed to do was take over the command when Dead Bone made a mistake, and give Dead Bone a small shock with his exquisite micro-management skills.

Perfect~

…

Goblins are naturally lazy and cunning, but the Goblins that have formed a camp are conscientiously performing patrols around the camp over and over again.

At this time, a Goblin patrol team had moved to a slightly distant position from the camp.

The team consisted of 3 Goblins and 1 Goblin Spearman.

As expected by Mu Yuan, Dead Bone had indeed set his sights on this patrol team.

They ….No, they circled around, blocking the retreat of the Goblins and then…

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——

Several spears broke through the air.

These were not Bone Spears that the Skeleton Warriors carried, but spears that Dead Bone had crafted by sharpening tree branches. Although these spears weren’t as lethal as Bone Spears, they were quieter, making them perfect for dealing with these tiny Goblins.

Dead Bone’s spear-throwing speed was very fast, and extremely accurate. Before the Goblins had time to scream, they had already been killed.

Mu Yuan: “…”

Then why did you command Bone Two and Bone Three to be deployed behind them as if preparing for a Macho Man showdown?

And given your extravagant lineup, couldn’t you have simply charged in to deal with these few Goblins?

“We must be cautious.”

Dead Bone knocked on Bone Two’s helmet, just like how the Lord used to knock on his skull back then. He believed that a knock could awaken wisdom, and he wanted to carry on this custom.

He creaked in a teaching manner at Bone Two and Bone Three, who want to act recklessly, then picked up the spear carried by the Goblin Spearman.

New weapon acquired√.

These spears were not as good as his Bone Spears, but they were better than the rough ones he had made. Dead Bone weighed them, and felt they were quite handy.

He continued to wait patiently, taking out the Goblin patrol teams one by one according to plan.

Half an hour later,

Dead Bone dealt with the last patrol team, using the spears obtained from the Goblin Spearmen to pierce through Goblin after Goblin. The spears ruptured their skulls and pinned them onto the ground.

The entire process was incredibly smooth, possessing a violent form of aesthetics.

Dead Bone, wiping the non-existent sweat, looked out at the distant camp with a solemn expression. “These Goblins are indeed much stronger than the wild ones outside. They’re very difficult to deal with. As the Lord said, the Goblin Camp is a great enemy to our territory.”

Bone Two glanced at the Goblins lying dead on the ground and then his own shiny blade that had not been stained with a drop of blood and his forehead sprouted a big question mark.
