Chapter 27: Disaster For Humans (part 2)

As the battle raged on, the number of goblin riders dwindled, and they met their demise. Well, not a true death, as they would eventually resurrect.

"AAAHHH!" Elder Gong cried out in pain as the wolf tore his right arm apart.

The Hobgoblin rider mercilessly swung its club at his head. Elder Gong, who was already on the brink of death, couldn't evade the attack. He could only gaze at the oncoming club with pleading eyes.

"Boom!"

Elder Gong's head exploded like a watermelon.

Fax and Elder Lee, who were valiantly defending against the relentless onslaught of hobgoblin riders, witnessed Elder Gong's fate and shuddered in horror.

However, suddenly, the three hobgoblin riders ceased their attack. The fighting around them had come to an end as all the goblin riders perished.

Yet, the humans were not elated by their victory, for more than half of their camp had fallen in battle.

The three hobgoblins turned around and departed, their mission already accomplished. Although they harbored no fear of dying here and killing more humans, their orders were to eliminate only half of them, and they had exceeded that quota.

Fax and Elder Lee made no attempt to halt the hobgoblins. On the contrary, they wished for their departure to hasten.

Once the hobgoblins were gone, their legs gave way, and the two men sat down on the ground, completely exhausted. Their bodies bore numerous broken bones and cuts, an unfamiliar experience for them. After all, in Waydale City, they had been top powerhouses, rendering others powerless before them.

Argon gazed at the four thousand soul coins in the system with excitement. Nearly two thousand lives had been lost in that battle, making it natural for him to acquire such a substantial amount of soul coins.

"I can finally acquire a body... System, assist me in constructing a body!"
