"Oh..."
Gomon wasn't stupid; it immediately realized that humans might have some means of searching for goblins.
It's highly likely that it was brought in from the sky, or through hidden sentries, alarm traps, or similar means, right?
If alarm traps are set, there is a risk of being discovered when exploring at night.
However, if you're spotting goblins from the sky or using sentries, you can slightly disrupt their vision at night.
"Probe again and report again."
"Yes!"
On the other side of the forest, large numbers of goblins are "spreading" towards human territory.
Unlike humans who often move while howling, they silently slither through the forest.
4. They only make frequent calls when they are certain they have succeeded in capturing and tormenting their prey.
They usually hunt, so they naturally know not to make noises that scare away their prey.
The goblins were hurrying on their way, unaware that...
A thin mist was slowly spreading through the forest.
At first, only a few goblins felt dizzy, but they did not stop moving. In their eyes, the goblins who claimed to be dizzy were just slacking off.
Unexpectedly, more and more goblins started to feel dizzy, and all the goblins moved at a slower pace.
They began to lean on the tree and slowly move forward, some even sitting down and closing their eyes.
Not just ordinary goblins, but also giant goblins, and even goblin shamans didn't last long.
The goblin shaman was the first to realize something was wrong.
Soon, a large number of goblin shamans leading the groups began issuing orders to retreat.
They didn't know what was happening to their bodies; they were just dizzy.
Goblins don't get sick often.
However, issuing commands also requires other goblins to relay them.
Now all the goblins are in a daze, and with no goblins able to relay messages, their communication system has been completely paralyzed.
Helpless, the goblin shamans could only rely on their superior agility to flee while shouting for the goblins along the way to retreat.
They didn't realize it until they were stuck in the tree...
They probably won't be able to escape either.
I'm just feeling dizzy right now, and there aren't any other symptoms yet. To be honest, there's really no need for me to run away.
But goblins are cowardly and afraid of death. Since things have already gone wrong, why don't they run away?
In just a short while, almost all the goblins had fallen.
Some sat on the ground, some simply lay down, and some even sprawled on the ground. They hadn't lost consciousness yet, and they all instinctively covered their heads, seemingly trying to relieve their dizziness.
"vomit--!!"
Suddenly, a goblin began to vomit.
"vomit--!!"
"Ugh!! Ugh!!"
Like wildfire spreading across a barren plain, the sounds of vomiting rose and fell, and goblins, big goblins, and goblin shamans all began to vomit within two minutes.
Following closely was a sharp, intense pain emanating from my internal organs, as if my heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were all burning up.
"Ugh! Gah! Gah gah gah gah—!!"
A goblin was pounding its chest and vomiting, its eyes rolled back, and finally it even banged its head against a tree, the pain in its head almost making it want to smash its head apart.
In unspeakable pain, it suddenly went black and lost consciousness.
Once she fell asleep, she never woke up again.
Once one goblin exhibits these symptoms, immediately a second, a fourth, an eighth, and hundreds and thousands of goblins begin to die in agony.
They didn't even know what was happening; from dizziness to death, it only took five minutes.
The toxins spread rapidly throughout their bodies with their breathing, soon filling all their blood and organs.
Even if they escape, they have no way to detoxify; it's just a matter of how quickly or slowly they die.
The higher the toughness, the stronger the resistance to poison, so it's unlikely that these poisonous fumes will kill the Goblin Centurion.
However, killing goblins below level three with a resilience of less than 10 is a piece of cake!
[Leaf Warrior: You've done a good job observing the large number of goblin deaths.]
The Leaf Warrior, who came to help "cover up," praised the two warriors who cooperated to release the poisonous mist.
[Poison Warrior: The effect is surprisingly good!]
Mist Hero: Yes! As expected of the strongest sword hero!
This was their first time working together to fight goblins; before this, they had only cooperated to poison a rat rabbit in a sealed box.
Because heroes are immune to poison from their skills, the pikas became a delicious meal for them.
And the one who brought these two originally unrelated heroes together was none other than An Yi.
The current outcome seems as if An Yi had foreseen it the moment she saw the two of them. II
[Hero of the Mist: Should we press on and continue deeper into the fray? Part 4]
It seems that if the dosage of the toxin were increased, poisoning a large group of goblin centurions wouldn't be a problem!
Poison Hero: I think so too! Part 3
Leaf Warrior: No, the goblins in this area have been cleared. Let's retreat. Zero
Although I know you all want to kill more demons, let's not do anything outside the plan for now. (Wu)
Poison Hero: Alright!
Mist Hero: Alright, that's all for now.
Although heroes have the freedom to make their own decisions, they lack experience in fighting demons, and acting on their own is very dangerous.
What if, in addition to Goblin Centurions, there are also Goblin Tritons that are more resilient and faster?
Staying in the forest would actually be very dangerous for them.
Therefore, we will follow the orders of the higher-level warriors and retreat for the time being.
Not long after, about half an hour later, a goblin centurion noticed the anomaly.
Because all the goblins seemed to have stopped moving, the forest was eerily quiet.
It was like a bustling market suddenly falling silent, eerily unsettling.
Could it be that all the goblins were just being lazy and sleeping?
Several centurions went to explore and, sure enough, discovered a large number of goblins "sleeping".
They were all asleep.
He has passed away.
I guess I'll only wake up in my next life.
The centurions did not immediately return to report, but instead quickly checked to see if there were any living goblins and asked them what had happened.
But they were too late.
Even if you come half an hour earlier, there might still be goblins that haven't died.
They're all dead now.
The centurions searched for nearly five minutes before deciding to send one of the centurions back to Gomon with the body.
……
Gomon frowned as he looked at the goblin shaman, big goblin, and ordinary goblin lying on the ground, their faces contorted in pain, their tongues lolling out, and their eyes rolling back.
"Lord Wang, we have found these bodies in the forest. The cause of death is unknown."
The men I sent out... privately
"The entire army was wiped out," the goblin centurion said tremblingly.
"He must have died from human magic," Gomon said immediately, crouching down to examine the corpse.
Goblin Centurion: "...Ah, um."
“Has a similar situation occurred before?” Gomon asked.
"I'm not sure. All of my kin who had direct conflict with humans are dead," the goblin centurion answered honestly.
"Bang!"
Gomon smashed the goblin shaman's corpse to pieces with a single punch, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
"Despicable humans!"
Wouldn't we gain almost no information from the deaths of these goblins?!
The goblin centurion was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he gritted his teeth, not daring to utter a sound. He was almost scared to death.
Gomon plopped down on the ground, staring blankly at the two corpses in front of him.
Having no information about humans, sending out these ordinary goblins would result in them being wiped out on a large scale.
How can you fight a war without any intelligence?
If Yiguo were to attack the city directly again as it did at the beginning, it might even die in the city itself.
“Wait a minute…” Gomon suddenly remembered something, “Take me to the scene where these bodies were found.”
I'll go check it out; maybe I'll find something new.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Following the goblin centurion, Gomon quickly arrived at the scene where he found the goblins dead.
