Its skin was a hellish blood-red color, standing at around two meters tall, with a robust physique. Its attack power, vitality, magic, resistance to attacks and magic, and intelligence were all astonishing.

 

“It’s that powerful?”

 

Cas O’Bleu was somewhat surprised; goblins had always been synonymous with weakness in her eyes.

 

“According to the seniors among the silver-ranked adventurers at the time, that red devil goblin was considered relatively strong among its kind. Generally, a red devil goblin is about equivalent to one of them, a silver-ranked adventurer.”

 

“I see.”

 

Cas O’Bleu picked up her water flask and took another sip. Silver-ranked adventurers were almost equivalent to their senior knights.

 

In the vast territory of Count Earl Rogerson, they had fewer than ten senior knights. This indicated the formidable nature of these goblins.

 

“Could the goblins here be dangerous?”

 

As the words left her mouth, Cas O’Bleu remembered today’s battle and felt she might be overthinking.

 

Keltan laughed immediately, “Impossible. Please rest assured, Lord Cas. The goblins here are weak. Usually, when we have new adventurers needing practice, they come here to kill a few goblins.

 

Even if that red devil goblin did appear here, it would just be a cub. Considering the terrifying rate at which goblins grow, even after ten days, it wouldn’t have fully matured. There’s nothing to fear. It’s the other goblin groups in different places that are troublesome.

 

To give you an idea, in the territory directly governed by Duke Nas to the west, there’s a place rumored to be the birthplace of a goblin king. It’s considered a holy place by the goblins, attracting a large number of them. But because of adventurers like us, it’s now called the ‘Goblin’s Grave.’

 

Compared to those places, the goblins here are nothing. It’s just luck. The guard captain escorting Lady Lila slackened here because it’s goblin territory and fell into a pit trap full of spikes, horse and all. Otherwise, with the guard captain here, how could they have taken advantage and kidnapped Lady Lila?

 

Today, we killed nearly a hundred of them, sending them fleeing in fear. It made those audacious creatures remember the fear of being dominated by us humans. Consider it revenge for that guard captain.”

 

“Tomorrow, Lady Lila’s enemies will also be dealt with.”

 

Cas O’Bleu took over, speaking coldly and solemnly.

 

She drew her greatsword, wiping off the goblin blood with a wet cloth and then discarding the filthy cloth stained with goblin blood.

 

Tomorrow, the eldest son of Count Earl Rogerson would arrive here with two senior knights to seek revenge for his sister.

 

“These despicable, filthy, disgusting creatures should be exterminated.”

 

The female knight leaned against a tree for a while, not the one currently on night watch.

 

Even when resting in their camp, she didn’t take off her armor, only removing her helmet and resting against the tree before quietly falling asleep.

 

The flickering firelight illuminated her beautiful and enchanting face, with fair and delicate skin. Even in her sleep, she maintained a resolute expression. The firelight and the cascade of soft, flowing hair complemented her noble demeanor, a quality even nobles struggled to possess.

 

Her handsome and imposing armor reflected glimmers of light in the firelight, while her exquisite curves were perfectly concealed within it.

 

Only her gleaming greatsword placed beside her revealed her formidable presence in the firelight.

 

However, for some creatures, this only made them more excited.

 

Because it indicated she was a healthy female.

 

Ah, the brave and valiant human female knight, she must possess excellent genetic heritage.

 

Chapter Fourteen: Goblin Attack on the Female Knight

 

For a certain goblin emperor about to enter the central area, potentially cutting off contact with humans for a long time, young and beautiful female knights seemed crucial.

 

This meant the breeding rate would double, a temptation too great for the goblins to resist.

 

One old purple demon goblin and one white ghost goblin had to be sacrificed tomorrow. So why not let them make a little contribution to the tribe before they died?

 

The answer was obvious.

 

Because in this dark night, numerous small figures were silently approaching with two bulky monsters.

 

“Hehehe, it’s the scent of a clean woman~”

 

The foolish white ghost goblin chuckled foolishly as it approached the human camping area.

 

The humans who spent the night in the forest immediately sensed the eerie atmosphere.

 

Cas O’Bleu quickly opened her eyes, and as the scene around her came into view, she was immediately stunned by what she saw.

 

At this moment, two bulky white ghost goblins stood tall in front of her, exposing their mouths with two upward-pointing fangs, drooling sticky and disgusting saliva onto the ground.

 

On their hideously ugly faces, there was still a mesmerized, terrifying grin.

 

One of them had its enormous foot stepping on the body of a night watch guard whose throat had been pierced by an arrow, and the crimson blood slowly spread towards her.

 

In the flickering firelight, in the dark and gloomy forest, one small figure after another approached with a grin, silently surrounding them from the shadows of the trees.

 

In this instant, the female knight felt like she had fallen into the most terrible hell. The sudden appearance of this scene filled her heart with an inexplicable fear.

 

The female knight immediately picked up her greatsword, about to shout to wake her sleeping companions. But at this moment, piercing screams shattered the calm of the night.

 

Poisonous snakes slithered into the clothes of her companions, and small goblins sneakily approached, holding stones and smashing them towards the heads of those people.

 

A blazing fireball tore through the night, rushing towards the place where several guards had gathered to rest.

 

In an instant, the flames of war ignited. The hideous and disgusting goblins appeared one after another, and the diminutive purple demon goblins arrived with smiles.

 

“You bastards! You’re just goblins!!!”

 

Cas O’Bleu shouted angrily, but her legs were trembling unconsciously because she had a feeling—those goblins, their gazes seemed to be faintly focused on various parts of her body, as if her armor and clothes couldn’t block their sight.

 

As prey with a sense of resistance, the white ghost goblin didn’t hesitate or consider. It slowly raised the large stick in its hand and swung it fiercely towards Cas O’Bleu.

 

Bang!

 

The powerful blow from the terrifying white ghost goblin was blocked by the sturdy armor and iron sword, but Cas O’Bleu’s body was pushed back two steps by the force, making her hands and shoulders numb.

 

In the next moment, countless small stones were thrown from the green goblin’s hand towards her, while the giant stick in the other white ghost goblin’s hand greeted her.

 

The flying pebbles struck her face, preventing her from opening her eyes and vaguely blocking the sight of another white ghost goblin approaching. As Cas O’Bleu raised her greatsword to fend off the stones, she saw the white ghost goblin’s club already swinging towards her.

 

The enormous club smashed directly into Cas O’Bleu’s abdomen, sending her, along with her armor, crashing into a tree. Blood gushed from her mouth, and the rebound force sent her back.

 

Her greatsword fell to the ground, and the pain in her abdomen spread rapidly throughout her body, almost making her faint. In an instant, her body lost its ability to fight.

 

The brave and resilient female knight, Cas O’Bleu, gritted her teeth, trying to stand up. But her legs trembled uncontrollably, too weak to support her.

 

Two tall shadows and many other small figures blocked the light shining on her from the firewood, casting darkness around the center where the goblins surrounded her.

 

In the midst of the grotesque and disgusting goblin encirclement, Cas O’Bleu raised her trembling head, and the filthy grins of the goblins reflected in her eyes.

 

Droplets of saliva dripped in front of her, spreading on the ground, causing her clean and pure heart to be overwhelmed with terrifying images.

 

Her breathing turned cold, and her beautiful, resilient face finally revealed a look of fear.

 

Screams echoed through the night.

 

“No… No!!!”

 

“Hehe, hehehe~”

 

The female knight struggled desperately, but the bulky white ghost goblin’s large hand gave her no chance to resist, firmly grabbing her.

 

The female knight Cas O’Bleu was thus engulfed by the goblin horde. As her armor was removed, her terrified screams continued until they fell silent.

 

The guards led by Count Earl Rogerson naturally did not witness this. Cas O’Bleu, submerged in the goblin horde, had her armor removed and was then gagged with a rag by the goblins before being tied up and carried into the dark and gloomy forest.

 

They were all fighting the goblins, only hearing the piercing screams of the female knight, imagining what might be happening there.

 

The beautiful and powerful female knight, subjected to the goblins’ attack and humiliation, was a sight too horrifying to behold.

 

The scenes in their minds made these grown men shudder with fear.

 

One of the knights, who had just left a pit and hadn’t pulled up his pants yet, was startled by the sudden sound of battle and stood up, still stuck in his pants.

 

He quickly put on his pants, grabbed his weapon, and came to the camp, only to witness a scene that would shock him for a lifetime.

 

One of the guards in his team was nearby. He rushed forward to rescue him, hastily asking, “What’s going on? Why are there goblins here?”

 

The guard, terrified, replied, “The goblins attacked us.”

 

The knight couldn’t believe it. “How is that possible? Goblins dared to attack us? How many are there?”

 

The guard said, “I don’t know, there are densely packed, at least more than a hundred, and there’s also a goblin shaman and two large goblins!”

 

The knight asked incredulously, “Aren’t the goblin groups here very scattered? What caused them to gather and attack us?”

 

The guard replied, “Lady Cas… she was taken by them…”

 

At that moment, the knight knew the reason.

 

It was a woman.

 

Goblins had a special fondness for beautiful human women, which led them to gather together and attack them.

 

“Bastards! Don’t think we’re easy to bully, you’re just goblins!”

 

The knight joined the battle.

 

In the end, humans repelled the goblin attack, killing one large goblin and dozens of green goblins. But only ten humans survived.

 

Chapter Fifteen: The Noble Female Knight Will Never Surrender

 

Still, on this night, the goblins who had achieved their goal dragged the beautiful female knight into the terrifying forest and returned to the goblin cave.

 

Blindfolded, the female knight heard the laughter of many goblins around her. The scenes she imagined were too much to bear, but no matter how she struggled, it was in vain.

 

In the darkness, a pair of golden eyes slowly opened, and Chen Le glanced at the exposed figure of the female knight being carried on a stone. He then turned to the goblins gathered here.

 

It was time to part ways.

 

Chen Le looked at the old purple goblin, and the old purple goblin realized what was happening. It came to Chen Le’s side, leading other goblins, and knelt before Chen Le, muttering strange goblin blessings.

 

The old purple goblin left behind one of the remaining two white ghost goblins and most of the other goblins here to face the wrath of the humans. It was what their Emperor’s subjects had to do for him.

 

For a humble race like theirs, sacrifice was inevitable.

 

The strong trampled over everything, while the weak survived through sacrifice.

 

The old purple goblin’s capabilities were undeniable, surpassing all the other goblins here. To Chen Le, it was more like a father, preparing everything for him from the moment he was born.

 

Here, he felt a warmth that he had never experienced in the human world.

 

But now, he had to make a choice.

 

Sacrifice it, and with a few of his subjects, face the new challenges.

 

He was the Emperor, and the prosperity and strength of his race were the best consolation for all the sacrificed subjects.

 

At the moment of Chen Le’s birth, the old purple goblin actually felt relieved. Because the burden of carrying on the strong genes of the race was no longer the foremost concern weighing on it. They no longer had to bring their offspring into this world to suffer as they did.

 

The fragile goblins were nothing but numbers to the world, invisible to the future.

 

They didn’t know when they would die at the hands of other races, only to rely on rapid reproduction and growth by other goblins to fill their ranks, lest their entire race face extinction.

 

They were the weakest and most despised subhuman race, persecuted by all.

 

And the smarter they were, the more they felt the pain of it all.

 

So, when a superior individual appeared, they would unconditionally flock to it, and their own desire for mating would greatly diminish.

 

Instinctively, they didn’t want, and neither did their offspring, to be born into this world, repeating the same despair.

 

And at this moment, the old purple goblin was bidding farewell to its children, but this time, it wouldn’t be the one sent to safety.

 

It would stay behind with some of its other children to face death.

 

One purple goblin commander, one purple goblin shaman.

 

One white ghost goblin giant warrior.

 

Six goblin knights, six goblin archers, six goblin scouts, and one goblin lookout.

 

These were all the goblins that would accompany Chen Le into the central area of the Misty Forest, surviving the selection process.

 

With the blessings of the old purple goblin and all the other goblins, Chen Le and his selected subjects, along with two human women, set off into the night, traversing the territory of the wolf pack and entering the central area.
