After Liu Tianyu casually twirled his lance in his right hand, a system notification sounded in his ear.
"Puff puff!"
With a single four-stab, Liu Tianyu pierced the heads of the four goblins that had pounced on the berserker, leaving them bloody holes. They fell straight to the snow, staining the white snow a dark red.
"Hey! Go protect your teammates, reinforcements will be here soon, I'm off to slaughter dogs and wolves!"
Liu Tianyu turned around and shouted at the soldier, then threw down the 2m heavy lance in his hand and drew the heavy half-sword from his waist.
The lance is only effective during a charge, and in this surrounded situation, it's not a good time for him to charge. He might as well draw his sword and fight hand-to-hand.
"Gala la!"
Upon seeing that Liu Tianyu was the only one coming to the rescue, the goblins, who were initially surprised, immediately let out strange cries, seemingly mocking Liu Tianyu's overestimation of his abilities.
"Pfft!"
Liu Tianyu was too lazy to argue with beasts. He spurred his horse and slashed diagonally at the two nearest goblins, instantly sending their ugly heads flying.
Two goblins leaped up and screeched at Liu Tianyu, who was riding on Snow Shadow, raising two small knives stained with bright colors.
Liu Tianyu slammed his knight's kite-shaped shield into their faces with his left hand, smashing them deep into the snow. Then, he pulled on the reins of the Snow Shadow, and the Snow Shadow's two hooves stomped hard on them.
"Oh!"
The "watermelon" burst open, but compared to a real watermelon, these two "watermelons" were really unappetizing.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Upon seeing Liu Tianyu's bravery, the goblin archers and blowgunners in the distance immediately aimed their fire at him.
A barely perceptible clang rang out from Liu Tianyu's plate armor chest. The thin arrows and blowguns deformed and fell to the ground the moment they touched the plate armor, not even worthy of leaving a mark on it.
"Da da da"
Seeing the goblins stabbing people in the back, Liu Tianyu pulled on Xueying's reins and charged forward.
"Gala!"
Seeing Liu Tianyu charging towards them, the goblin archers and blowgunners immediately tried to run away, but two legs can't outrun four, especially since they were short legs.
"Pfft—" For these goblins who are only covered by a rag or fur, no skill is needed at all; you just need to hit them.
Soon, the heavy hand-and-a-half sword in Liu Tianyu's hand was covered with thick black blood, and there were already double-digit numbers of goblin corpses on the ground.
Aside from being covered in goblin blood that made him look like a demon, Liu Tianyu was not harmed in the slightest.
"Woo-ga-ga—"
"Scratching sound—"
Looking at Liu Tianyu, who was fully armored and unharmed, and the corpses of his kind on the ground, some of whom had lost their heads or were dismembered, he was shocked.
The goblins, who had been wearing sinister smiles, suddenly became hesitant.
So one goblin quickly chose to flee, and the other goblins immediately followed suit.
"Ha, what a piece of trash! Trying to run away? You can't run anywhere now!"
Looking at the dozens of goblins fleeing in disarray, Liu Tianyu chuckled softly.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
A whooshing sound came from the air, and ten goblins who were running for their lives instantly fell to the ground, their backs either impaled with throwing axes or riddled with two holes by javelins.
The lucky ones can still breathe, but the unlucky ones will become the best fertilizer for the prairie next year.
Three more whooshing sounds followed the Nord Royal Guards' throws.
But not from behind, but from the front! Arrows pierced the heads of the three goblins with pinpoint accuracy.
The Goblin Slayer squad has circled around to the direction the goblins fled, blocking their escape route.
"Heh heh, how about that, Bucket? My rapid-fire arrows were pretty accurate, weren't they? All three were headshots!"
Watching the goblin fall backward, the fairy archer boasted to the miner-priest.
"This is far from enough, Anvil!"
The miner-Taoist took a swig of wine and then exhaled a strong stench of alcohol towards the goblins who were frantically fleeing in this direction.
"Gah?"
"Waaaaa?"
Desperate to escape, the goblin slowed its pace upon smelling the alcohol. Its already ugly head began to drool, and its small eyes narrowed slightly.
"One, two, three..."
Goblin Slayer looked at the goblin that had slowed down, said nothing, and simply drew his short sword and charged forward, slashing and hacking. Only after confirming that the goblin was completely dead did he record the attack in his mouth.
"The three of you are full of energy! Then this humble monk will also lend a hand!"
Seeing the lively scene, the lizardman monk felt his cold blood warm up slightly, then he pulled out a pair of recurve swords and charged over.
"Gala?"
"Gah!"
Seeing that its escape route was blocked by four different races, the goblin immediately tried to run in the opposite direction, but well...
A 1.8-meter-long halberd, gleaming with metallic luster in the sunlight, had already thrust forward.
The goblin found itself seemingly flying. It couldn't help but look down at the ground and realized, oh, that its belly had been pierced, and a human below was holding a halberd and lifting it up.
With a loud thud, the goblin was confirmed dead. The kingdom's regular army then threw the body off the halberd.
Goblins killed by the kingdom's regular army are considered lucky; at least they can leave with a complete corpse. But what if they encounter the kingdom's swordsmen?
With a "thud," just like the sound of a butcher chopping meat, the Kingdom Swordsman raised his 1.4m two-handed greatsword and swung it down at the goblin in front of him.
The goblin hurriedly raised his broken knife, trying to stop them—no, even just to hold them off for a moment.
But as it turned out, the two-handed greatsword easily severed the broken blade and continued its momentum towards its head.
After breaking some bones, the goblin was easily turned into a goblin I, with dark red monster blood spurting out from both ends.
The most terrifying were the Nord Royal Guards. They didn't personally engage in melee combat, but every time they threw an axe or javelin, it hit the goblin with deadly accuracy.
Then the wailing goblins will be finished off one by one by the Goblin Slayer, ensuring that no one survives.
"Okay, great!"
The soldiers were stunned as they watched their allies charge into battle.
"Excuse me, could you please help him up? I need to help stop the bleeding."
Just then, a childish voice rang in his ears, bringing him back to his senses.
The priestess, her staff tucked under her arm, struggled to drag the berserker with her two small, white hands.
"Okay, sure!"
The warrior then realized what was happening, quickly sheathed his sword, and came over to help the priestess lift the berserker up.
"Drink this antidote, and then I will cast a healing spell."
After the warrior took over, the priestess took out a bottle of purple potion from her priestess robes, gave it to the berserker, and began chanting a spell. Then, her staff glowed and she aimed it at the berserker to release the potion.
"Yes, has it worked?"
The soldier asked cautiously.
"I'm sorry, he was already poisoned, and with the added blood loss, he's now..."
The priestess shook her head with a look of pity.
"Damn it! Priest, how's the scout?"
The warrior slammed his fist into the ground, turned his head, and shouted at the priest who had been healing the scouts behind him.
"I've already cast Holy Light twice, and his leather armor only covers the front, with just straps in the back. The arrow hit his heart in the back. I can't do anything more!"
The pastor, not far away, was drenched in sweat and shook his head with a sorrowful expression.
"Damn it! Why is this happening?!"
Upon hearing the priest's words, the warrior, filled with despair, frantically pounded the ground.
"Da da da" "Hey! Tell me, what's going on here?"
A shadow quickly blocked the sunlight from the soldier's eyes, and a childish yet deep voice asked him.
The soldier couldn't help but look up and saw that the person who had asked him was none other than Liu Tianyu, who had just ridden to their rescue.
"So, your scouts clashed with my kingdom's riders, and he thinks his scouting skills are far superior to theirs."
The kingdom riders, besides wandering around on a horse, can neither solve any battles, nor do they provide you with food and drink, so you chased them away, right?
In the end, without the kingdom's riders to scout, your scouts failed to discover the goblin ambush and were even shot dead by the goblins..."
After the battle ended, Liu Tianyu put the spoils into his inventory, sat down at the temporary camp, learned the cause and effect, and looked at the remaining warriors and priests with a playful gaze.
"The reason I sent a soldier with you adventurers is not only as a witness, but also to serve as your scout."
And what you did was complain that even his horse wanted to eat, so you just chased him away. Seriously? Is this what you call a mid-tier adventurer?
Liu Tianyu's voice sounded remarkably calm, so calm that both the warriors and priests couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Tsk tsk, take your companions' corpses back to Stormwind Territory. Whether you bury them or cremate them, it doesn't matter. We can't just leave them to rot in the wilderness!"
Of course, you can continue to choose to complete the quests, and I won't say anything. After all, besides enjoying the thrill of adventure, the most important thing for adventurers is to get rewarded!
"If you want to continue this quest, this time bring my kingdom rider with you. If you want to return to Stormwind Territory, have him guide you."
Liu Tianyu didn't make things difficult for them in the end. He just said something meaningful, then waved his hand and led his troops away.
"Thank you. You didn't abandon us at the end. If you hadn't drawn some of the goblins' attention, we probably would have been wiped out."
After Liu Tianyu and his men left, the priest quickly thanked the kingdom riders.
The kingdom's rider shook his head and asked:
"Do you want to continue the commission or return to Stormwind Territory? Judging by the number of goblins, it seems that goblins from three lairs have come out in full force."
Those three nests will at most only have some goblin cubs left; perhaps you can still give it a try.
"No, no, without our companions, we probably won't be able to continue. We'll have to give up on this mission."
The soldier had completely lost his will to fight at this point and shook his head in refusal.
Chapter Thirty-One: The Miracle of Upgrading (Thanks to Boss Huoyunzhiguang for the 100 Moe Coins reward)
[Ding, you have won. Casualties:]
[Our casualties: None]
[Friendly casualties: Jade Adventurers (2 dead)]
Enemy casualties: Goblins (88 dead), Goblin Archers (14 dead)
[Soldiers are now eligible for upgrades!]
The system's mechanical notification sound reached his ears immediately after Liu Tianyu left.
Liu Tianyu ignored it and looked at the junk in his inventory with a troubled expression. Even if he sold these things to a scrap collector, they probably wouldn't want them!
"System, do you have a shop system? I can't keep all this junk taking up inventory space!"
Liu Tianyu asked himself.
[Host's wishes confirmed. Disposal has been changed to recycling. The host can now place unwanted items in the recycling bin, and the system will convert them into appropriate dinars!]
After the system finished speaking, the left side of the inventory page changed from the discard bar to the recycle bar.
"Nice! That's more like it! After all, some junk is something even merchants won't accept. You can't just put it all in my inventory and take up space. Ugh, I knew you weren't that kind!"
Liu Tianyu tried dragging a wolf from his inventory to the recycling bin. The wolf, which was valued at 980 denars in the inventory, was only worth 294 denars in the recycling bin, a loss of 70%!
[The item displayed in the inventory is the item's maximum value. The system requires energy to convert it into denars for recycling. If the host is not satisfied, they can choose to sell it to a merchant.]
The system's voice remained mechanical and clear.
"Sigh! It seems I can only sell you some junk. If I were to sell you any treasures, I'd be a complete bastard!"
Liu Tianyu rubbed his forehead, but he didn't have anything to complain about. It was already good enough that there was a garbage station to recycle garbage, what more could he ask for!
Soon, Liu Tianyu threw the pieces of trash into the system and finally received 2233 dinars.
