Chapter 1229: 640: Expedition Squad Assemble! Target: Goblin Tribe!
How can you go into battle looking so battered and bruised?
Gujate, usually resolute and brave, hung his head in shame.
“Clan Leader Taru…”
“I can use the medical device to heal…”
“Don’t let me stay here…”
He mumbled indistinctly.
Because he had taken quite a beating, even his speech had become unclear.
Zong Shen: “…”
He helplessly rubbed his face, peeking through his fingers to check Gujate’s remaining blood volume.
He found that its Life Value had recovered to over 90%.
In theory, it certainly wouldn’t affect low to medium-intensity combat.
He shook his head and took out a small bottle of [Moon God Spring] and tossed it to him.
“Drink it; its effect shouldn’t conflict with the potion from the healing device.”
“Make sure to follow my orders later!”
Zong Shen said helplessly, then turned around.
Standing behind him, Blood Wolf Gujate took the small bottle of [Moon God Spring] and uncorked it, pouring its contents directly into his mouth.
Not far away, the Saint Joan next to Wenresa suddenly curled her lips into a radiant smile.
After Gujate arrived, Tasuya brought the Lion Skeleton Knights to the scene.
Under her command with soul fluctuations, 34 Tier Five Lion Skeleton Knights formed three columns, and 2 Tier Six Golden Lion Skull Knights stood at the forefront.
Tasuya stood proudly at the very front.
Not long after the Lion Skeleton Knights entered, Favide brought the Hell Two-headed Dog Team to the outside of the fortress.
Apart from the four Hellhounds sent to the mine, he brought the remaining eight Hellhounds.
Recently, there were no large-scale battles in the territory, and his Woof Woof Team had just formed an organized squad.
However, it’s still a significant force.
After all, these Woof Woof Teams are not only fierce but also attack with chaos damage.
If the eight Two-headed Hellhounds charged together, it would be enough to give those goblins a good fight.
Following them, Aisha, Madeleine, Mapple, Kangnijiya all arrived.
And also Reese Ulysses, the Intermediate Spatial Mage, temporarily recruited to join the ranks, stumbled in.
Originally, he didn’t plan to bring Reese, but thinking about it, he found her [Shadow Wormhole] quite convenient; after defeating the goblins, they could easily raid the goblin homes.
After everyone gathered, there were only a few minutes left until eight o’clock.
Everyone carried enough food for three days and water bags.
This had always been Zong Shen’s routine; whenever going on an expedition, he ensured enough food supplies, preventing any surprises.
According to Zong Shen’s plan, they could completely eliminate the Goblin Tribe by noon at the latest.
Once confirming the correct number of people, Zong Shen took out the [Pascal Contract’s Large Pocket (Golden)] and kept most of the accompanying warriors inside.
Leaving behind twelve heroic level talents headed by Joan, Wenresa, and Favide.
Also Reese Ulysses, Kangnijiya, Blood Wolf Gujate, Aisha, Tasuya, Madeleine, Mapple.
They would ride the Flying Tiger leading the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Squad, directly flying through the air.
As for Zong Shen, of course, he would ride Xiaoheizi!
After arranging everything, Flying Tiger led the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Squad carrying everyone, taking off into the sky.
Zong Shen then returned to the yard, skillfully climbing onto the saddle behind Xiaoheizi.
“Xiaoheizi, let’s go!”
After a single command, Xiaoheizi adjusted its posture reluctantly, flapping its black wings, rising into the air, flying in the direction he indicated towards the Northern Forest.
Flying Tiger and the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Squad excitedly followed several hundred meters behind Xiaoheizi.
In terms of flying speed, Flying Tiger was actually faster than Xiaoheizi.
But at the moment, it still followed in formation, trailing the Black Dragon forward.
To keep a low profile, Zong Shen had Xiaoheizi adjust the flight altitude to four thousand meters.
At this height, you could only see a few black dots moving across from the ground.
With drifting clouds and mist obscuring the view, unless using the Eagle Eye Technique or other detection magic and tools to focus on the sky, it was difficult to spot them.
…
About twenty minutes later, they had entered more than a hundred kilometers into the Northern Forest.
The Goblin Tribe was near this area.
Initially, Korby had discovered the location after advancing through over 180 kilometers north of the territory.
Just traveling back and forth had taken most of the day.
Now with the aerial riders, it only took them ten or twenty minutes to reach the location.
Zong Shen turned around and waved his hand, signaling the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Squad to pause.
He then took out two [Type IV Goblin Bombs], unscrewing the trigger-style safety caps.
The air raid would be initiated by him alone.
Ultimately, high-tier [Goblin Bombs] were limited.
He couldn’t afford to hand them out like candies.
Plus, with him riding Xiaoheizi, the safety factor was higher.
Xiaoheizi’s Life Value had recovered two-thirds.
Its Dragon Scale boasted considerable double resistance, enough to withstand the goblin’s anti-air retaliation.
Therefore, he decided to make the first move and test the waters.
From four thousand meters high, he overlooked the entire forest.
It was entirely green, filling the view with a rising white mist.
The Goblin Tribe seemed like a blemish in the forest.
Amid a sea of green, it stood out as extremely discordant.
In Zong Shen’s view, the entire Goblin Tribe appeared about the size of a basin.
To initiate an attack, he must first get closer.
“Xiaoheizi, let’s go down!”
Zong Shen called out.
Xiaoheizi lowered its neck slightly, surveying the situation below before plunging down towards the ground.
…
Meanwhile, above the Goblin Tribe, a blue luminous eye trembled slightly; in the center of the tribe at the location of a large wooden structure previously destroyed, there were twelve Goblin Shamans sitting.
In the middle, a Totem Pillar engraved with eyes was emitting light.
As the blue eye trembled above, all Goblin Shamans simultaneously opened their eyes, shouting hoarsely in goblin language.
“Incoming attack!!!!”
