Chapter 600 - 409: Exterminating the Goblin Squad, Tower Defense Enthusiast
Zong Shen halted the Burden-Bearer Mecha.
Wenresa stood on the cargo hold, drawing her bow and shooting arrows.
The wolf cavalry on both sides let out a roar and launched a charge.
One by one, capture nets were thrown out.
Covering the goblins head-to-toe in place.
Doris held the [Scorching Burning Staff (Purple)] and unexpectedly jumped off the cargo hold.
Stumbling as she followed the wolf cavalry team.
After advancing ten meters, she activated the [Flamethrower lv10] skill of the staff.
A fire dragon as thick as a calf shot out from the tip of the staff.
Like a range-restricted version of the [Molotov Fire Spreader].
A genuine smile of joy spread across Doris’s face.
The fire dragon’s might was impressive, evaporating and melting the fallen snowflakes around.
White steam rose, making her seem as if she was in a fairyland.
The fire dragon avoided the wolf cavalry’s path of entry.
Quickly sweeping over the goblins.
The 1.3 times magic damage caused high damage numbers to continuously pop up above every goblin’s head.
Simultaneously, the flames ignited their fur, under the binding of the capture nets.
With just one encounter, they were completely stunned.
Even the goblin shaman was no exception.
When it raised the shaman’s short staff, attempting to chant witchcraft.
It was first interrupted by the capture net, then by the terrifying fire dragon.
By the time the fire dragon swept in another direction, the wolf cavalry had already arrived in front of it.
A gleaming sabre directly slashed toward its head.
Zong Shen stood at the driver’s seat, watching everyone’s seamless battle, feeling very satisfied.
He wasn’t surprised at all by Doris’s performance.
There’s a saying that goes.
"Nature cannot be deprived."
Doris’s nature is the extreme frenzy in battle.
Although over time and transforming into a hero, it had mellowed significantly.
It still couldn’t completely extinguish her passion for battle.
"Leave the shaman."
"Kill all the others."
Zong Shen said coldly, his voice penetrating through the battle helmet.
All the warriors immediately proceeded with further attacks according to his command.
The duration of the battle wasn’t long; it had reached its conclusion as soon as contact was made.
The warriors under Zong Shen could all be considered battle-hardened veterans.
Especially the previous burrow challenge, which greatly enhanced the warriors’ combat experience.
A mere goblin combat squad couldn’t make any waves.
It didn’t even require Zong Shen to personally take action.
Zong Shen wasn’t very interested in such a one-sided battle.
His mind had already sunk back into the guide module.
Beginning to inquire about whether there were any scattered goblin scouts nearby.
According to the guide’s tips, there were no other goblins near the territory.
However, nearby, there were still goblin scouts and squads active.
The nearest ones were just over ten kilometers west of the territory.
Their targets weren’t just Zong Shen.
But all the lords in the vicinity.
In the region, there were still many territories with a total population of farmers and soldiers not exceeding thirty.
For such ordinary territories, even relying on defense towers could mostly only withstand the attacks of two or three goblin squads.
For the Goblin Tribe, they are undoubtedly "pastures."
Faced with this situation, Zong Shen didn’t intend to interfere.
He had already done his part.
This combat squad must have had a clear target before setting off.
Once they are completely wiped out and fail to return to the tribe on time, it would certainly arouse the Goblin Tribe’s suspicion.
All Zong Shen needed to do was patiently wait it out.
If the goblins dared to send one squad, he’d take one; if ten, ten squads he’d take.
Let the goblins quickly deplete their force in the game of saving Grandpa.
After all, dealing with a thousand people in ten rounds is completely different in nature than handling a thousand people all at once.
After confirming the situation around the territory.
This group of goblins had also been completely annihilated.
Except that the Burden-Bearer Mecha’s durability points lowered by a few dozen due to javelin attacks.
None of the members were injured.
The entire goblin squad was cleanly and swiftly killed.
Only the leading goblin shaman was spared one life due to Zong Shen’s instructions.
But it had also been beaten half to death.
Its body not only bore large areas of burning marks but also had three or four blade marks.
Furthermore, to prevent it from having any strange objects imbued with witchcraft on it.
The wolf cavalry stripped it of all belongings.
All clothes, accessories, headdress, and short staff were confiscated.
Now it lay on the ground, its limbs tied up like a hog by the wolf cavalry.
"Collect all their weapons."
"Pile the bodies together."
"Add some wood and burn it all right here."
"Doris, the task of lighting the fire is yours."
"As for this goblin shaman, take it back to the territory; I want to interrogate it."
Zong Shen said steadily.
He wasn’t worried about exposing the location of the territory or the goblin shaman having any magic marks.
He even needed his territory’s location to be a bit more exposed right now.
His territory’s whereabouts weren’t really a secret to the goblins.
But its number of warriors and their potential strength the goblins did not know.
To implement his previous plan, Zong Shen decided to use his territory as bait.
Currently, in his territory, including 65 different defense towers, there were.
Most of these were third-tier or fourth-tier defense towers.
Even though Zong Shen’s territory had been forward-thinking in its planning.
All the arrow towers were divided into eight matrices.
His territory was already a fortress bristling with defenses.
Because some ultra-long-range arrow towers existed, many areas inside and outside the territory were overlapping defense zones.
With his elite warriors under his command, Zong Shen naturally had this confidence.
No matter which direction the enemy attacked from, they would end up battering themselves bloody.
Unless they had high-tier warriors ten times Zong Shen’s number.
Such as the Expeditionary Army of the Lentax Giant City.
Then the advantages of Zong Shen’s territory might be negated.
Before the burrow challenge began, Zong Shen was already well-versed in tower defense.
Afterwards, he made efforts to collect all kinds of defense tower blueprints.
Including using a significant portion of points from the challenge to exchange for defense tower blueprints.
His previous hard work wasn’t in vain, at least at this moment, the rogue attributes of Zong Shen’s territory were exceptionally glaring.
Even though the territory’s defense level had reached a very high degree.
Zong Shen still wasn’t satisfied, for a seasoned tower defense lover.
He wished nothing more than to fill his territory with various kinds of high-tier defense towers.
The wolf cavalry were quick with their hands and feet.
They swiftly gathered the goblins’ bodies into a pile in the heavy snow.
Zong Shen took out several pieces of wood and placed them on the pile.
Having Doris activate the flamethrower again to ignite the pile of bodies.
As the flames roared,
Zong Shen and his team set off on their return journey.
Black smoke rose to the sky.
The stench of burning protein gradually permeated.
After taking down this wave of goblin squads, Zong Shen didn’t gain any experience points.
He and Wenresa had allowed Doris to have those experience gains.
Upon reaching LV20, the leveling speed had drastically slowed down.
Because the experience needed for each level was getting higher and higher.
Currently, Zong Shen was at LV26, with experience points at [15765/95150].
At this rate, Zong Shen needed to take down 55 monsters of the same captain level.
The mentioned captain-level monsters here were not the gargoyles from the burrow challenge.
Because in the burrow challenge, monsters had a portion of their experience and attributes castrated.
Here, the captain-level monsters referred to guys like Fierce Bandit Calier, the Spider Prophet, and Sewn Monster Pato.
Thus, he had to stir up some action to earn some experience points.
The Goblin Tribe was clearly a very good option.
He considered all this as he drove the Burden-Bearer Mecha back into the territory.
Everyone gathered in the Inner City District.
The Goblin Shaman was rudely thrown to the ground.
Zong Shen parked the Burden-Bearer Mecha properly.
Then walked over slowly.
