It was getting late, and Rowan felt embarrassed to ask the Golden-haired Captain to spar with him again.
After thanking him, Rowan returned to his small cabin to rest.
Inside the cabin, Rowan saw a magic learning scroll; it was the reward the old village chief had promised.
After all, Rowan had completed the task, and seeing them busy earlier, the chief hadn’t wanted to hand it over in front of everyone, so he had secretly placed it in his house.
Rowan sighed with emotion, picked it up, and learned it.
The scroll contained a first-tier magic, Lightning Strike.
Hmm, a first-tier magic?
To be honest, for Rowan’s current level, it was far too low; even if he mastered it, it wouldn’t provide any improvement.
However, as his first ordinary magic, he still had to learn it.
After receiving the knowledge, it only took Rowan one night to master this magic.
It was very easy for a high-level individual to master low-level magic; it was a matter of level suppression.
His first magic—no, his first magic was Scout Raven, but this was his first attack magic, and he had learned it.
“Heh, I’m also someone who can use magic now.” …
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, the group officially set out.
Rowan was already intimately familiar with the location of the Goblin tribe, and leading the group, he quickly arrived at their destination.
Looking at the dense crowd of Goblins in the distance, everyone’s expressions turned somewhat solemn.
Before seeing them, ten thousand Goblins didn’t seem like much; he felt he could easily wipe out large swathes of them with a single attack.
But actually seeing so many Goblins, it wasn’t as easy as he had imagined.
If so many Goblins swarmed them at once, they would be exhausted to death.
“Everyone, the number of Goblins is not small.
We must leave some leeway later; if things go wrong, we need to have enough energy left to escape,” the miscellaneous mage said.
“Rest assured, no problem.
Those Goblins are very stupid,” the Golden-haired Captain said, looking not very bright himself.
“Let’s use magic to scout first and confirm the situation of the Goblin King.” “Leave it to me,” the Druid uncle, who had always lacked presence, said.
“I have mastered a third-tier scouting magic, Natural Vision.
I can scout the situation over there, and it is very difficult to be detected.
Do you have a more suitable scouting magic?” He asked everyone, but in reality, he was mainly asking Rowan, because they were all very familiar with each other.
Rowan shook his head.
“I don’t have a more suitable method, so you should do it.” “Alright.” The Druid uncle pressed his hands onto the ground.
Earth vein energy surged, but Rowan couldn’t see anything.
The Golden-haired Captain next to him was a chatterbox and wasn’t afraid of leaking intelligence, so he explained it to Rowan like a narrator.
“This is a high-level Druid magic.
It can communicate with trees and grow ‘Plant Eyes’ from them for observation.
Ordinary people can’t see these Plant Eyes.
Tsk tsk, it’s very stealthy, and the range is large enough to reach the core over there.” “Impressive, impressive.” The miscellaneous mage Irika, who was nearby, revealed a mysterious smile.
The Golden-haired Captain quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak anymore.
To leak squad intelligence to someone he had only known for a day; this guy’s nerves were truly too thick.
“Alright, there is indeed a powerful Goblin over there, with an aura reaching Adamantite Rank, but it is still very far from Hero Rank.
Among the surrounding Goblins, there are seven or eight Commander-level Goblins, and the rest are Goblin leaders and ordinary Goblins,” the Druid uncle reported the situation.
Adamantite Rank, huh?
Although it was stronger than the few people present, it was a Goblin after all.
As one of the weakest monsters, a Goblin of the same level could not compare to a human in strength, so even an Adamantite Rank Goblin was not enough to make them abandon their plan.
As long as it wasn’t Hero Rank, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.
The miscellaneous mage thought for a moment and said, “In that case, let’s execute the decapitation plan.
I will use magic to hide our figures.
After we break into the interior, the uncle and I will hold off the surrounding Goblins, and you three will kill the Goblin King at top speed.” “There are many enemies this time, and they aren’t weak.
Captain, don’t be stingy with the magic scrolls.” The Golden-haired Captain laughed, “Rest assured, I am not the type of person who is reluctant to use magic items when encountering danger.” Rowan, standing to the side, twitched his brow.
Magic scrolls?
Was this guy a rich snob?
The miscellaneous mage used a spell, and the five of them gradually became transparent.
Then, led by the Golden-haired Captain, they advanced in a single file line.
This magic not only hid their figures but also concealed their scent.
Tiptoeing toward the large building in the center, the Goblins naturally had no way of discovering the five of them.
If nothing unexpected happened, they could strike directly at the heart of the enemy.
But, as expected, an accident occurred.
The five quickly approached the central wooden building.
Just as they reached the entrance, a ripple spread out from beneath their feet, and the invisibility magic was instantly dispelled by this energy shock.
“Oh no, it’s an anti-scouting trap!
How could Goblins set up this kind of magic?” the Golden-haired Captain exclaimed.
Accompanied by the strange cries of Goblins, a large number of Goblins had already surrounded the five of them.
A tall figure appeared at the entrance, with several commanders following by his side.
“Heh, I knew humans had their eyes on me for a long time.
With such a small number of people, you actually dare to approach me?” A look of disdain appeared on the Goblin King’s face.
Rowan looked at the Goblin King, and his attributes appeared before Rowan.
[Goblin King (Monster)] [Level: 21] [Justice Value: -200] [Class: Goblin (Lv15), Commander (Lv5), Goblin King (Advanced Lv1)] Hmm?
The Goblin King is actually not a rare class?
It’s just an advanced class?
Rowan was a bit surprised, but thinking about it, it made sense.
The kingdom’s strongest Warrior Captain, who later stepped into the Hero Rank, only had an advanced class and did not have a rare class.
A mere Goblin, even if it was the Goblin King, naturally could not possess a rare class.
“Follow the original plan.” The Golden-haired Captain remained calm in the face of danger and pulled out two magic scrolls, using them immediately.
[Group Speed Boost] [Group Strength Boost] As soon as he started, he used two group buff spells.
The miscellaneous mage and the uncle stayed in place, using large-area interference magic.
The swirling gale combined with magical potion powder quickly caused the surrounding Goblins to fall into a paralyzed state.
They were clearly not dealing with a large number of enemies for the first time.
The other three charged in directly, although there was no need to charge in anymore; the enemy was right in front of them.
“Heh, foolish humans.” The Goblin King sneered and raised his magic wand.
Beside him, two guards rushed toward them.
One commander Goblin stealthily drew his bow and notched an arrow, and another commander warrior charged over wielding a large axe, looking very difficult to deal with.
There was also an old Goblin standing beside the Goblin King with a gloomy expression.
