Chapter Thirty-Three: Three Women, One Play

  A beautiful day, a beautiful scene. A fragrant car and a beautiful woman. You wander among the flowers, with the clear songs of orioles in your ears and the pure fragrance in your nose. This is paradise, where there are such beautiful and fragrant flowers for you to pick, what are you waiting for? The beautiful girl beside you is calling you, dont hesitate anymore, brave young man, go ahead...

  Jian slammed shut the daily task list in front of him with a "bang".

  Since the Brain-Eating Demon incident, Zhan En had not received any particularly important daily tasks. Perhaps it was calculated that Zhan En was too bored recently, so this annoying system quickly returned to its usual damn personality. It wasnt urging Zhan En to bully old ladies, but to snatch lollipops from little girls. There was even a time when Zhan En had just woken up and received the daily task issued by the system, which was to snatch Biksus underwear!

  Even a fat guy like Lian Jiu Ru cant escape this system. What kind of sick and crazy system is this?

  Fortunately, daily tasks are the kind that are naturally better off not doing, so even if Zhan didnt do his daily tasks, nothing would happen. However, Zhan was really worried, he found that since the underground city was built, this systems moral integrity has been plummeting by the ton, and its still barely within the normal range. Zhan was really worried that one day the system would go crazy and not even care about race or gender... Can this thing be reset with a reinitialization?

  However, this daily task is actually a prelude to the fact that Zhans battle will not be in danger. Zhan also knows this, because the earth spirit is inherently a timid and evil tribe. They are the best representatives of "bullying the minority".

  The goblins way of fighting is actually very simple. If they see fewer people than themselves, these guys will swarm out, beat the opponent into a pulp, and then rob everything that can be robbed.

  But these guys are also completely shameless, once they find out they cant win, they run faster than anyone else. Moreover, they basically have no learning ability, remembering only what benefits them and not the number of times they were killed by their opponents. The goblins are a highly fertile species, even with heavy casualties, after two years they will reproduce like rabbits again.

  This is also why Kardak was so happy to "lend" Jann fifty dwarf warriors. He had simply had enough of those damned gnomes. If the opposing force were powerful, like the Terrorclaw or the Fungusmen, then he would be at a disadvantage and could live with it. But what really got his goat was that these gnomes were such insignificant creatures. A dwarf could take up an axe and casually slaughter a dozen of them, and yet they still managed to make the dwarves look like fools, which made Kardak furious.

  But what can they do? The dark elves have a reproductive ability comparable to that of the dwarves, so they can roam freely in the dark underground, and even if half of them die, it doesnt matter. However, the gray dwarves dont have this ability, the longer-lived species have lower fertility, and although the gray dwarves lifespan is not as long as that of elves and dragons, its still much longer than that of humans and other species, living for around three hundred years is no problem——of course, in the dark underground, those who can live to a natural death are extremely rare.

  Taking the Grey Dwarves to exchange for the Earth Sprites, even if its a one-for-one hundred exchange, its still not worth it. Moreover, those small but powerful creatures have strong reproductive abilities, and no one knows how many people are actually living in the Earth Sprite settlements. This is also one of the reasons why Brandon Stone City had not made up its mind to eliminate the Earth Sprites before.

  But for Zhan En, there was no such problem. With the help of the system map, he had already investigated the gathering place of the goblins clearly. Including the tribe of the goblins, their numbers, and the geographical features of the places where they were located, there were no more secrets for Zhan En to speak of.

  So next comes the most difficult part, which is how to get rid of these annoying guys.

  "Why dont we just launch a direct attack?"

  As for this question, Verna seems very simple and direct.

  "Ive dealt with those spineless cowards in Bryces Ford before, and if you take out a few of them, the rest will scatter like headless flies. Then its just a matter of letting them become fodder for other dark denizens down there."

  "You have completely misunderstood the core of the masters plan, Miss Verna."

  As Jans second-in-command and the person most familiar with Jans intentions, Enyo quickly raised objections to her views.

  "What we need to do is not drive out, but completely annihilate, wipe them out - the Dark Elves should be experienced in this regard, I dont need to remind you of that."

  "Dont mention dark elves and those dwarves in the same breath!"

  Upon hearing this, Vernas eyes widened in anger as she glared at Enyo. The latter, however, smiled lightly and covered her mouth with her hand, revealing a calm expression towards the dark elf.

  As for the quarrel between Verna and Enyo, Zane didnt pay attention to it. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Iris who was standing beside him with a look of unease.

  "Miss Iris, whats your view?"

  "Huh...? What? Me?"

  Eris, who was hugging herself to avoid "walking in the light", clearly didnt have her mind on the battle meeting at hand. Instead, she kept rubbing her arms and gazing around restlessly. Apparently, until now Eris still hadnt gotten used to this strange feeling. And it was precisely because of this that when she heard Jains voice, she hesitated for a moment before giving out her own answer.

  "Cant we think of a way to lure those goblins out and defeat them one by one? Goblins arent a particularly intelligent species, as long as we give them some guidance, theyll definitely fall for it."

  Actually, until now, Eris still doesnt know why Jain brought her here together. She is still a captive after all, although there are no restrictions, but Eris also has no intention of escaping. Firstly, she knows that Enyo is an immortal being, and her proud magic flame cant do anything to her. Secondly, the underground city already knows that she is from Black Onyx Castle, if she goes missing, its imaginable that Jain will definitely bring people to find trouble for Black Onyx Castle.

  Alice certainly didnt want to let the shelter that her father and others had built with great difficulty in the dark region be destroyed all at once because of her own reasons. After thinking this through, she never thought of escaping again - of course, if Jain was willing to let her leave, then it would be a different matter.

  "Of course, the earth spirit is easily deceived, little girl."

  Upon hearing Eris words, the grey dwarf standing beside her snorted in disdain and looked at her with contempt.

  "But if they were just stupid, we wouldnt have been unable to deal with them for so long! These bastards run faster than anything as soon as they sense something is off. Weve set traps for them several times before, but they always managed to escape successfully. Let alone the goblins, can any other creature be completely eliminated that easily?"

  "This..."

  Upon hearing this, Eriss face also turned red. Indeed, if it were just a matter of defeating the earth spirits, it wouldnt be difficult for them at all. Eris herself could probably do it alone. Her magical flames were the natural enemy of all living things, and except for Enyo who was completely immune, most people couldnt withstand even a glancing blow. But to guarantee that Eris would eliminate every last one of the enemies without leaving a single one behind, that was an entirely different matter in terms of difficulty.

  Actually, if it were other races, defeat would be just that, even the dark elves who were ridiculed by Enyo wouldnt be completely exterminated. Those low-ranking slaves or high-ranking pastors would all be absorbed into other families as spoils of war and preserved. But the dwarves are different, even if they cant be wiped out to the last one, they must be killed until there are only a few left. Otherwise, letting them escape and coming back with a bunch of newborn dwarves after a few years is not a good thing. Kardok hopes to expand the scale of Brandon Stone City after driving away the dwarves, so he naturally doesnt want those dwarves to come back and cause trouble for him, thats why he requires a thorough solution.

  For the discussion in front of him, Zan did not say much, but he looked at the gray dwarf who spoke out to refute with some curiosity. This gray dwarf warrior was Tog, the Hammerer, who was introduced by Kardel before, and also the leader of Mirabas Axe. Since they set off, he had always been in this yin-yang strange state, but Zan didnt think it was unexpected either. The situation was already very clear, Tog and Kardel were obviously not on the same path, and they might even be enemies. So Kardel sent him here, also with the intention of weakening his actual strength - of course, perhaps the gray dwarf official hoped that what happened to Verna before would happen again on Togs body.

  According to his observations along the way, Zan also discovered this Togs personality traits. He didnt have much of the cunning and sinister nature of the dwarves, but was instead very straightforward and rough around the edges. This was quite different from Kadek, who was always calculating and sinister. It would be more accurate to say that he was more like a dwarf than a dark elf. Perhaps this was why Tog wasnt well-received in Brandon Stone City.

  "Whats your opinion, sir?"

  Enoa herself did not express her opinion, as Jans deputy officer, she was the only one who knew what Jan thought. Since everyone else had already expressed their opinions, it was up to Jan to decide next. Upon hearing Enoa speak, Tog let out a cold hum, but didnt say much.

  It seems that even a nail will become noodles in front of a necromancer.

  "What you said makes sense, our numbers are too small, its unlikely we can take them down at once. Of course, the goblins intelligence is relatively low, which is also something we can take advantage of..."

  He said here, Zhan En was silent for a moment, and then he spoke up.

  "In that case, we can kill two birds with one stone. Well split our forces in two, one group will go to attract the attention of the goblin warriors, while the other team will be responsible for ambushing the goblin lair from behind. Then well launch a joint attack, which will allow us to maximize the elimination of those goblins."

  "This is a way."

  But what everyone did not expect was that Tog, who had been silent all along, spoke up at this moment.

  "When those scattered troops are attacked, their first reaction is to cry and run back home to their mothers. If we can attack them from the rear, we can naturally take them down with one blow. However..."

  Saying this, Tuo Ge glared at Zhan En and curled his lip.

  "If its that easy to find the lair of the earth spirit, we can take care of this bunch ourselves."

  Thats the point. The reason why the dwarves repeated attacks on the goblins had no effect was that the goblin lair was too secretive, making it impossible for them to find. In terms of hiding their nests, the goblins also have their own methods, and even the dwarves, who are also masters of architecture, found it difficult to track them down.

  But for Zhan En, this was naturally no problem at all.

  "Dont worry, Ive already prepared."

  Facing Togs inquiry, Zhan En opened his mouth with a calm and self-satisfied smile, then turned his head to look at others.

  "Well then, ladies, its time for you to show your stuff."

  "Huh?"

  Lets not mention Enyo for now. Both Verna and Iris were taken aback when they heard Jans words.

  What does this have to do with me?
