CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: GREEN-SKINNED PAUPER

On the eighth level of the plains

Near the orc camp, Kane and his group were resting on the back slope of a hill not far away.

They spent quite some time clearing out all the monsters on this dungeon level, except for the orc camp.

Of course, clearing these orcs also cost them a considerable amount of magic power and physical strength.

Kane sat on the ground, chewing on the jerky he brought, occasionally taking a sip of water to help swallow it down.

"Finally finished the cleanup."

Longbei lay on the grass, his armor inevitably showing some signs of being attacked.

Kreya’s weapon was also covered in blood, with not much time here for her to clean it off.

"How’s the rest? Ready to move out."

Kane stood up, patting the dirt off his body.

With Kane standing, the others got up too, tidying up their weapons and armor.

Bringing the team to the hillside behind the camp, they observed the camp again.

The orcs patrolling around the camp had already been killed earlier, leaving only the orcs inside the camp.

Although there weren’t many magic reactions within the camp, they were stronger than those of the patrolling orcs outside.

Rushing into the camp to kill the orcs inside was a bit risky, as they couldn’t see the exact situation inside.

Kane didn’t like fighting on the enemy’s home ground.

They needed to come up with a way to lure them out, which would be more straightforward. Outside, the plains suited Kreya and her group better.

After thinking it over, he said to his teammates, "Get ready, I’ll use the goblins to lure them out."

Longbei and the others didn’t quite understand what he meant by goblins, but they understood Kane’s intention.

"The goblins are a summoning item we picked up before," Kreya reminded them, explaining to Longbei and the others.

After hearing Kreya’s explanation, Longbei and the others immediately understood.

So they had a cannon fodder item in their hands.

Seeing his teammates were ready, Kane took out the previously acquired [Goblin Assembly] from his space equipment.

He used it on the empty area behind, summoning talismans released magic particles that condensed in the open area.

Ten goblins appeared, consisting of a goblin leader ×1, goblin sentinels ×2, goblin thieves ×2, and goblin soldiers ×5.

Upon appearing, these goblins immediately began making noise and even wandered around.

"Rally," Kane ordered.

The goblins quickly gathered together, but expecting them to line up neatly was impossible.

They just stood loosely as a group.

It seemed unrealistic to expect them to surprise anyone; completing simple commands was already a surprise.

Kane told them, "Go to the camp gate, provoke them from outside, and attack when they come out."

Hearing Kane’s command, the ten goblins raised their weapons, shouting and charging forward chaotically.

Kreya and the others watched curiously from the side; this was everyone’s first time seeing summoned creatures.

The goblins reached the camp gate, shouting and jumping crazily with their weapons clattering.

Even more outrageous was a goblin urinating at the entrance of the orc camp.

The orcs inside the camp were instantly alerted, rushing out one after another.

Kane began observing the orcs’ setup: four standard orcs with knives, three spear throwers, and three riders on wargs.

The orcs, enraged by the goblins’ behavior, roared loudly at them.

However, they did not immediately attack; instead, they glanced back.

A figure slowly emerged from the camp.

While most orcs were not armored, the Beastman Commander wore tattered armor and had a flag sticking out of his back.

The magic reaction on him was far larger than that on other orcs.

Seeing the goblins taunting in front of him, he waved his hand at them.

The orcs behind him, who were already impatient, rushed forward with their weapons raised.

Seeing the fight about to start, Kane quickly said to his teammates, "Be ready to engage."

He then immediately got up, shooting a few arrows at the three spear throwers.

Kreya charged directly at the warg riders.

Longbei activated his skill, transforming into a small giant, and taunted the Beastman Commander.

"Come, you green-skinned fool in rags, duel your grandpa."

The Beastman Commander, enraged by the taunt, charged at Longbei with his saber.

Meizike had already applied two bottles of dense gas on Longbei, coating him with a protective film.

Kane also thoughtfully shot a few strands of spider silk at the orcs battling with the goblins.

He shot another arrow, finishing off the spear thrower who dodged the deadly strike.

Quickly adjusting his position, he attacked the wolf cavalry engaged with Kreya.

An arrow struck one warg’s heart, causing the mount to buck, throwing off its rider.

Before the dismounted rider could get back up, Kreya seized the opportunity, bringing her sword down on him.

The neighboring wolf cavalry tried to stop the centaur’s attack, but suddenly, a blood hole appeared in its head, causing it to wobble and fall off the mount.

After eliminating the downed riders, only one wolf cavalry remained. Without its comrades to distract Kreya, she easily cut it down.

As for the orcs battling with the goblins, once the goblins were defeated, Kane dispatched each of them one by one.

Goblins were indeed classic minion monsters. Even with a fully equipped ten-man squad against four regular orc soldiers, and under Kane’s web control, they were completely wiped out.

However, they did manage to kill one orc and severely injure the others, proving somewhat useful as cannon fodder.

Besides the Beastman Commander held off by Longbei, all other orcs were now slain.

Kane and his team quickly moved to Longbei’s side.

At this time, Longbei was exchanging blows with the Beastman Commander evenly.

Both suffered numerous wounds, but Longbei’s protective film absorbed many attacks.

So his injuries were lighter than the Beastman Commander’s, mostly scratches and bruises.

Seeing his teammates had eliminated the nearby orcs and joined him, Longbei raised his shield, taking a defensive stance.

Kane also raised his bow, attacking the Beastman Commander.

The Beastman Commander noticed the unseen arrows, but his injuries prevented him from dodging. A blood hole appeared on his head.

Yet he didn’t immediately fall, roaring as he attempted to continue attacking, but Kreya had already rushed to his side, swinging her sword at his neck.

Thus, all the monsters on this dungeon level were cleared, and a success prompt appeared in Kane and his team’s minds.

Kane’s team gathered together, waiting for the arena to return to normal.

When the plains disappeared, cheers rang in their ears, and this level of the dungeon was officially completed.

Light began to converge.

After Longbei and Meizike satisfied their urge to open boxes, they handed the task of opening boxes over to the captain.

Especially after learning that the Mist Warrior’s medal indeed increased luck.
