Chapter 212: Episode 77 Appetizing_3

Goblins, a relatively weak group, their only notable trait being their numbers, and the only thing they can rely on is also their numbers, but it’s the number of allies around them. They follow behind the Beastmen, wielding crude weapons, shouting loudly. In their hearts, finding ’enemies easy to deal with’ and ’safely scavenging treasures’ are their highest pursuits. In the team, they are never the main combat force, but they are excellent at cheering.

Naturally, Lynch, who was in Invisibility, didn’t want to be trampled into a meat patty by the Beastmen and goblins, so he quickly got out of the way and hid to the side. Although the residence of the second family seemed silent, the seemingly calm courtyard was full of traps. Lynch’s Arcane Vision clearly indicated the positions of numerous Magic Runes, and using the Eye of Insight’s X-ray vision, he also saw many spike pits and crossbow mechanisms.

When the first trap was triggered, the entire second family suddenly sprang into action. A large number of Dark Elves appeared in the courtyard, all fully armed and in a state of alert. Initially, Lynch thought the second family was already prepared for battle, setting up a trap pocket for them to walk into. But then he recalled the Dark Elves’ habit of living ’perpetually prepared,’ and he felt reassured.

Brilliant flames and explosive roars erupted one after another— the yard of the second family became a stage for trap performances. The astonished screams of the Beastmen replaced their original battle cries, even drowning out the noise of the Fireball explosions. They could understand the spike pit traps underfoot, as they would sometimes use such means to deal with ’troublesome’ enemies. But the suddenly igniting and electrifying ground left them utterly confused. This ignorance filled them with fear. Suddenly, strong wine, treasures, and beautiful women became illusions, turning dangerous and unreal.

Some Beastmen turned and wanted to flee, believing even facing a Dark Elf’s punishment was better than being burned to death without knowing why. They figured there would surely be many fleeing, and they would be the unfortunate ones, seeing themselves as the lucky ones, thinking the punishment would never land on them.

This behavior of the Beastmen had long been anticipated by the Dark Elves; the second wave sent forth was the family’s soul-bound corpses squad. The last battle had resulted in heavy personnel losses but also provided ample material for making these soul-bound corpses. Unlike Beastmen, these Undead lacked a sense of fear as they moved slowly, blocking the gap in the fence.

Like all other Undead, the soul-bound corpses exuded a terrifying aura that made living beings recoil in disgust. The Beastmen and goblins were at a loss, caught between heaps of traps and terrifying walking corpses.

"Charge! Take down the Dark Elves in front, drink their blood, let them feel the power of the Beastmen!" A genuine and pure Beastman language erupted suddenly, instantly rousing the indecisive cannon fodder’s spirits. Since their retreat was already blocked by the dead, besides advancing, there was indeed no alternative.

Thus, as Matron Batana planned, the goblins and Beastmen began using their own flesh and blood to clear the traps on the path again. They were blasted into flaming fragments by Fireballs, burned into stinking charred bodies by lightning, turned into pancakes, or skewered like beehives by spike pits. Regardless, the Dark Elf forces behind no longer had to face these obstacles. Especially the goblins, though numerous, were quite timid. Upon seeing the myriad traps, they finally couldn’t bear it and began to scatter and flee. However, the more scattered they ran, the more traps they ’disarmed.’ Originally, multiple Beastmen would have been blown up by the same Fireball trap, but now, the trap’s destructive power was distributed, with one goblin taking out one Fireball trap.

"A truly cheap deal." Matron Batana lightly tossed aside a sheepskin scroll, the Illusion Sound Technique she had just used, "Ignorant creatures are easily incited."
