CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: WELCOME TO MY DOMAIN!

"Hahaha! It seems the Blood Hammer Leader knows quite a lot! However, there’s no need to be so humble, leader. Everyone can see your strength.

Even if my guards have those treasures, they may not be your match! So, at that time, we still need to rely on you, Blood Hammer Leader, to protect us."

The commerce association official stuck his head out again at some point and laughed.

The Sub-human Guard Captain on the side sighed quietly, hoping everything would go smoothly...

"It’s the Half-Beastmen! The Half-Beastmen are here!"

At this moment, a voice tinged with surprise rang out. Everyone turned their heads to see a Sub-human Guard pointing in one direction.

They looked towards the distance.

Suddenly, they saw six or seven savage Beastmen with blue faces and tusks wearing beast skirts!

"Quick! Quickly protect me! Don’t let those damned half-beastmen get close! You all, go kill them!"

The previously calm commerce association official, Aganfu, suddenly shouted in panic.

Most of those around him tightly surrounded the central area of the caravan.

Nearly ten Sub-human Guards then directly galloped towards the Half-beastmen!

And the Half-beastmen?

After a moment of bewilderment, they immediately turned and ran!

Even though they are cruel, bloodthirsty, and battle-hungry!

But they are not fools.

With many enemies and few allies, what’s there to fight?

The Half-beastmen ran on two legs, while the Sub-human Guards chased on horses, using four legs.

It didn’t take long before they were caught up.

The Sub-human Guards drew the sharp swords from their waists and swung directly at the Half-beastmen!

The Half-beastmen were not willing to show weakness, swinging their staffs in return!

BANG!!

The clash of swords and sturdy wooden staffs produced a deafening sound.

The hands of several Sub-human Guards trembled, almost losing grip of their swords, but quickly managed to regroup thanks to the horses charging.

The bodies of several Half-beastmen also shook slightly but continued retreating as if nothing had happened.

However, the mounted Sub-human Guards wouldn’t let the Half-beastmen escape.

They quickly turned their horses around, engaging the Half-beastmen several more times.

Using their advantage as cavalry and their numbers, they managed to inflict some wounds on the Half-beastmen but were still far from defeating them.

Seeing this.

Aganfu, who had been observing the situation, was displeased and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"What are you guys doing? Get rid of those Half-beastmen for me! What are you dawdling for? I permit you to use those treasures! Quickly! Kill them!"

At this moment, several Sub-human Guards trembled all over and surprisingly sheathed their swords.

Then, lifting their shirts, they took out gold-handled, black-barreled short guns from their waists!

"Stupid Half-beastmen! Taste the power of the Goblin Nobility exclusive firearms!"

A Sub-human Guard sneered coldly, aiming at a fleeing Half-beastman and pulled the trigger heavily!

BANG!!!

A sound of an explosion was heard over two hundred meters away by the people in the caravan.

The Half-beastman, who was tens of meters away from the Sub-human Guards, suddenly screamed in agony as a burst of blood exploded from his back, his body staggering, nearly collapsing.

At this, several Half-beastmen wailed, almost as if an uproar had erupted, fleeing faster and more resolutely.

"Hmph! The first shot didn’t result in a headshot? Captain Viss! After we get back, I think you should train your gunmen a bit more!"

Aganfu, seeing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief but was relentless with his words.

The Sub-human Guard Captain on the side nodded repeatedly.

The Dwarf Blood Hammer’s pupils contracted at this time.

Goblin Firegun!

And indeed, it’s the Goblin Nobility exclusive firearms!

Their power is truly extraordinary!

Unlike ordinary goblins, the Goblins are a branch of goblins, looking very similar but with incredibly sharp minds.

Their ability to craft is powerful.

As a result, they developed many pieces of equipment and weapons, such as Goblin Firegun, Goblin Explosives, Goblin War Chariot, Goblin Mecha, etc., becoming known worldwide.

In this world, they are considered a mainstream race with their own empire.

They often trade and sell their manufactured weapons to neighboring countries, famed as a weapon supply empire.

And these weapons are sought after as treasures by all countries!

Even a simple firearm with an effective range of only sixty to seventy meters costs as much as 3 Gold Taler.

And Goblin Nobility Firearms like those used by Havier Commerce have an effective range of nearly two hundred meters.

A single piece costs no less than 10 Gold Taler!

They’re already on par with some magic equipment.

The reason is still due to their powerful lethality!

Even an ordinary person holding it has a high chance to use it to kill some adventurers far more powerful than themselves.

The Dwarf Blood Hammer deeply knows the power of firearms.

In his view, the battle is over at this moment!

With the sounds of BANG! BANG! BANG! echoing one after another.

Bullets struck the fleeing Half-beastmen one after another!

Several had shredded backs, bloody and mangled!

Yet they still desperately fled!

The astonishing vitality was surprising.

But this couldn’t change their deadly predicament.

The Sub-human Guards pursued and shot while riding their horses.

The Half-Beastmen eventually couldn’t withstand such damage, falling one after another. Only the last Half-Beastman was lucky enough to escape into the nearby forest!

The Sub-human Guards did not pursue deeply.

The forest was not the main battlefield for horses, plus the potential ambush forced them to give up.

Although one escaped, the Sub-human Guards were still exhilarated.

They cut off the Half-Beastmen’s heads, cheering and taking them back to the caravan, hanging them on the banners.

To showcase their strength and intimidate any potential enemies they might encounter!

At the same time, they couldn’t wait to boast about their strength to their companions nearby.

The Sub-human Guard Captain watched from the side, frowning involuntarily, feeling a vague sense of foreboding.

The Blood Hammer, seeing the Sub-human Guard Captain’s concern, reminded everyone:

"Everyone, do not let your guard down! That one which escaped earlier might bring back more Half-Beastmen!

To avoid unnecessary trouble, we might need to pick up the pace a bit."

"Hahaha! Lord Blood Hammer is right! But even if they bring more Half-Beastmen, so what? In front of my Guards and Lord Blood Hammer’s Adventurer’s Guild! No matter how many, they’re nothing! Hahahaha~"

Aganfu looked at the heads on the banner ahead, laughing heartily.

The little Half-Beastmen, in front of the Goblin Nobility level firearms, were like a pitiful pack of little dogs! No combat strength at all!

Blood Hammer didn’t refute Aganfu’s boasting; after all, wasn’t that what he thought inside?

The group moved forward once more, this time indeed slightly faster.

The clip-clop of the horses’ hooves and the Guards’ bragging continued to resound.

At this moment, they were completely unaware that high above them, a Giant Dragon was watching them!

And this Giant Dragon was none other than Land!

He had just moved recently into the forest that originally belonged to the Elves, enjoying an emperor-like treatment.

Watching marvelous and alluring dances, eating fruit and vegetables peeled and fed by the hands of Elves.

Unexpectedly, he received the news that the hunting team was attacked!

This news did not alarm Land but rather delighted him; without saying a word, he set off first, preparing to have a good ’conversation’ with these attackers!

The Dragon’s eyesight was extremely superb, even better than an eagle’s eye.

It possessed the ability to focus and magnify, making a thousand meters seem like right in front of it.

With just one glance, Land saw through this caravan.

A total of fifteen Adventurers.

He precisely used the knowledge acquired from the Dragon’s Legacy to conduct a grand evaluation on these guys.

The middle Dwarf.

The armor he’s wearing should be of Dwarven master craftsmanship, enchanted with Solid and Durability special effects, priced roughly at 11 Gold Talers and 54 Silver Rables.

The hammer in his hand also crafted by the Dwarves, workmanship considered decent, possessing a heavy strike effect, priced at 12 Gold Talers, 74 Silver Rables.

Helmet 4 Gold Talers.

Shoes 3 Gold Talers.

Those two Casters nearby, are they serious with such gear? Looking so impoverished?

Only 6 Gold Talers, and they consider themselves Casters? The other one isn’t bad but only has 13 Gold Talers.

Hunter 3 Gold Talers, a miserable pauper!

This Priest, however, is an unexpected surprise, with gear totaling 16 Gold Talers!

Hmm! And these Sub-human Guards, the gear is not from any Kingdom’s official equipment but rather a batch that’s already been eliminated, each set priced around 78 Silver Talers...

Flying in the sky, observing the team for tens of seconds, Land extracted information and finally reached a conclusion.

The armed force of this caravan isn’t strong!

It can be robbed!

At this moment, his crimson eyes seemed to be ablaze! Scorching bright!

Land couldn’t help but grin, diving down!

Of course, he didn’t use the Dragon Meteor, this lethal move, although likely able to wipe out the caravan in an instant, but those mysterious goods might get damaged too!

Those are his treasures!

Land wasn’t willing to guess or bet on whether the goods inside could withstand the impact of the Dragon Meteor.

Whoosh!!!!

Accompanied by a fierce gust of wind.

A shadow in the sky rapidly expanded a hundred meters in front of the caravan; the leading Guards immediately sensed something wrong.

They looked up, their expressions changed drastically, and they let out screams like those of women:

"A GIGANTIC DRAGON!!!!"

"What?"

The others were equally shocked when they heard, looking up, and then they finally saw.

A Giant Dragon, whose chest and abdomen were full of red scales, flashing red light in the gaps, black scales elsewhere, with a thick and short neck.

The Giant Dragon flapped its single ten-meter long Dragon Wings, gracefully circling at low altitude, slowly halting tens of meters in front of the caravan, opening its massive mouth filled with ferocious sharp teeth, unleashing a deep and resonant roar:

"Friends from the Haisen Kingdom!

Welcome to the territory of the great True Dragon! Land Saphis Oakben!

Thanks to your hospitality, my beloved servants suffered quite a bit of casualties!"

The Dragon raised its head high, overlooking the area, its crimson eyes surveying the scene!

Bang!

His gigantic Dragon Wings fully expanded, flickering with crimson sparks, a gust of fierce wind striking towards the Guards in the front! A ferocious presence at the top of the food chain erupted!
