Dark Ruler - Chapter34

In fact, not only was Jenn's plan related to them, but it was also deeply related to them.

It could also be said that Enoya, Verna, and Elise were the main characters in Jenn's plan.

The reason was simple. Just as mentioned earlier, Goblins were creatures that bullied the weak and feared the strong.

The old, the weak, the sick, and the pregnant were their favorite targets. Gray dwarves were strong and powerful, and they didn't look easy to deal with. It wasn't easy to use them as bait to lure the goblins.

However, the three young ladies were different. It was hard to say for Verna, but Enoya and Elise were the kind of characters that were easy to bully. If the Goblins saw them, they would definitely rush out immediately while drooling. Come to think of it, even if they weren't Goblins, there were probably very few races that wouldn't take action upon seeing the three beautiful young ladies.

Jenn's plan was to use the three young ladies to attract the attention of the Goblins. After they left, he would lead the others to surround the Goblins' lair.

On the other hand, Enoya, Elise, and Verna only needed to pretend to be weak. After the Goblins were lured into the gray dwarves' encirclement, they would cooperate with the others to wipe them out.

It wouldn't matter if the Goblins escaped because according to the nature of these low-level monsters, they would definitely return to their lair.

At that time, Zayen only needed to wait for them to tire themselves out and kill them all.

Enoya, Verna, and Elise didn't object to this plan.

Enoya was Jenn's adjutant. Even if it was a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, as long as it was Jenn's order, she wouldn't even frown and would jump straight in.

As a Dark Elf, Verna naturally had no problem dealing with the Goblins.

As for Elise, if a high-grade Mage couldn't even take care of a group of Goblins, she might as well hang herself.

Torg didn't express any objections either. Against weak and pitiful creatures like the Goblins, strategies and whatnot were unnecessary. If it weren't to prevent them from escaping, they wouldn't even need to waste time discussing strategies.

Go straight to your lair, roll up your sleeves, and do it.

After ascertaining their respective roles, Enoya, Verna, and Elise each led a team of dwarves to set up ambushes and prepare to lure the Goblins.

On the other hand, Jenn led Torg and the other grey dwarves to hide in a corner of the tunnel and waited quietly.

Due to the fact that he had already scouted the area, Jenn knew the terrain of this area like the back of his hand.

Not only did he know where the goblins' nest was, he even knew when the goblins would come out to look for prey and which path they would take.

But now, the path that Jenn chose not only allowed him to avoid the Gnomes' search, but also allowed him to grasp their movements and reach the Gnome's nest in the shortest time possible. It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone. It was the best choice.

Of course, not everyone was as confident as Jenn.

"Mage, are you sure that the Goblins' nest is here?"

Torg gripped his huge axe with both hands, gazed at the pitch-black tunnel, and asked dubiously.

It wasn't surprising that he had doubts because the current location of Jenn's group happened to be at the edge of the Brandon Stone City's security perimeter. Even though it wasn't safe, the grey dwarf patrols would often pass by here. Torg would never believe that the damned Goblins would actually build their nest here.

"It's not just me, but we gray dwarves have been patrolling the area several times, and we haven't seen any signs of the goblin nests. If those cursed bastards live so close to us, why haven't we discovered them after so many years?"

"I've sent my cutest hound to investigate and I can confirm that their nest is here …"

Speaking of this, Zayen couldn't help but sigh. In fact, although he knew that the goblins' nest was here, Zayen wasn't very clear about the situation here.

After confirming the situation of the Goblins' nest through investigation, even Jenn couldn't help but lament that there were indeed hidden talents in the Dark Region. The fact that such a foolish race like the Goblins could survive in such an evil and gloomy place without becoming slaves and vassals of other races proved that they were unique.

But it was a pity that this was the end of it.

"Hound?"

Torg let out a snort after hearing Jenn's words.

"Why didn't I see any hound with you?"

"As a matter of fact, it has always been here."

Jenn said and glanced behind Torg. Upon sensing Jenn's gaze, Torg hesitantly turned around and looked behind him. Then, he widened his eyes abruptly and took a few steps back.

He raised the huge axe in his hand abruptly and placed it in front of him.

"Rock above!

What the hell is this?! "

A gigantic Xenomorph was crawling silently on the dark, gloomy wall in front of Tog. It was only two meters away from the Duergar leader.

However, Torg didn't notice it at all. There was no temperature, no sound, and no smell.

If he didn't see such a terrifying and strange creature in front of him, Torg would've thought that he was dreaming!

The Xenomorph didn't notice Torg's reaction at all even though the razor-sharp, gigantic axe was only a finger's distance away from it.

It lowered its head and let out a weak roar that was unique to the Xenomorph. Then, it turned around and climbed up the wall. Before Torg could react, the Xenomorph had vanished into the darkness.

"Ssss …"

Torg sucked in a deep breath of cold air. As a Grey Dwarf, he wasn't as cunning as his compatriots, which was why he was assigned to be the commander of this miscellaneous army.

However, as a Grey Dwarf Warrior, Torg was confident in his strength. He was a rare high-grade Warrior among the Grey Dwarves.

If not, Cadker wouldn't have allowed him to live until now.

Of course, as he didn't get along well with the Grey Dwarf Archon, Cadker often assigned him dangerous tasks.

If Torg died or got injured, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Cadker.

It was the same this time. The reason why Cadker assigned Torg to assist Jenn was because he had similar considerations.

Due to this reason, Torg had led his army to deal with all sorts of evil creatures in the Underdark. Needless to say, he had encountered Goblins, Petrified Lizards, and Clawed Terrors. He had experienced countless ambushes.

But even so, Torg had never seen such a terrifying monster. Holy Rock above, if that monster really wanted his life, he wouldn't even have the time to react!

This Mage can actually command such a terrifying monster …

Torg couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Frankly speaking, Torg was originally worried about this mission and it seemed like he was even more worried now.

"Squeak squeak!

Kakaka! "

At this moment, a sharp scream from afar interrupted Torg's thoughts. He hurriedly turned around and gestured to his subordinates.

Shortly after, the Grey Dwarves extinguished their torches and scanned their surroundings vigilantly.

The chaotic screams grew louder and Torg knew that it was a sign that the Goblins had found their target and were chasing it excitedly.

It seemed like the Mage's plan was working. Torg wasn't concerned about the fate of the women.

Since the Mage had done this, he must have his reasons. All he needed to do now was to follow his orders.

Shortly after, the chaotic screams faded away. After confirming that the Goblins had left, Jenn led the other Grey Dwarves forward silently.

One had to admit that it was too difficult for the Grey Dwarves to move in the dark.

No matter how discreet they were, the clanking sounds of the Grey Dwarves' armor were unusually ear-piercing in the silent tunnel.

However, Jenn didn't mind. He had already sent out all the Undead to search and investigate. Based on the feedback from the Undead, Jenn was sure that there weren't any more troubles in the vicinity — apart from the Goblins.

"Say, Mage, where is the nest of the Goblins?"

Torg couldn't help but ask as he followed Jenn forward.

He had led the patrol team out more than once and was very familiar with this route.

Even though this place was secluded, there wasn't a large space that could accommodate a few hundred Goblins.

"You just have to follow me quietly."

Jenn didn't intend to answer Torg's question. Instead, he led the Grey Dwarves through many turns and soon, they arrived at a relatively spacious tunnel.

But what was different from other tunnels was that they could clearly hear the sound of water flowing from here.

Torg frowned in disgust when he heard the sound.

Underground water veins weren't considered rare in the dark underground.

But to the Grey Dwarves, they hated it bitterly.

A Grey Dwarf would rather drown in a barrel of wine than let his body soak in a pool.

They believed that spilling any liquid other than wine on their body was an insult to them.

To them, ordering a Grey Dwarf to take a bath was as unacceptable as a monarch ordering his knights to kill defenseless babies.

This was why the Grey Dwarves usually stayed away from such places to avoid unnecessary trouble.

However, Zayen didn't seem to care about the disgust of the gray dwarves. He led them to the end of the tunnel and soon, a pond appeared in front of them.

Although it was called a pond, it was actually a puddle that was about half a meter deep. Perhaps due to the underground water veins flowing above them, the water dripped down the ceiling and formed a small waterfall between the stone walls.

The entire place was filled with moist water vapor and green moss.

Many of the Grey Dwarf Warriors were filled with disgust and disgust just by coming here. It was as if they were going to die.

"This is the place."

Jenn scanned the surroundings and walked into the pond without a word.

Just as he came to the waterfall at the corner of the wall, the grey dwarves suddenly saw a flash before their eyes, and the next moment, Zayen's figure disappeared from their sight!!

What's going on?
