The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 125: The More I Think About It the Angrier I Get


At the corner of the street ahead, two goblin managers, arm in arm, had just walked past the corner when they saw a line of skeletons on the street.

The two of them were stunned.

Only Sonam lived in the Royal Palace, and in front of the palace lived those two high-tier goblin knights.

Because the first floor was very large, most of these goblin managers occupied a street with either two or three of them working together.

A few occupied a street alone.

They were just passing by and didn't expect to see such a sight.

Where did those two high-tier knights go? This didn't make sense at all.

Those two high-tier knights were second only to Sonam and would, of course, not brief these subordinates on any matter.

So their departure from the Underground City was completely unknown to any other goblin managers.

The two goblin managers thought that the two high-tier knights were most likely cultivating Battle Energy in a building on the street, who would have thought they'd see a bunch of skeletons here?

In fact, in front of this pile of skeletons were many Merfolk as well?

Except for the two Merfolk Royal Family members, ordinary Merfolk would have their tails transform into two legs after reaching adulthood but retain some Merfolk characteristics.

For example, the wrists and ankles of adult Pink Merfolk had a circle of pink scales, resembling beautiful bracelets and anklets.

And the most noticeable ears, long and pointed, surrounded by delicate pink scales, possessing a peculiar beauty.

Thus, Merfolk were easily distinguishable, and the two goblins recognized them on the spot.

They were puzzled about where the two goblin high-tier knights went; if they were still inside these buildings on the street, how could they ignore such a situation?

Also, Sonam, they could clearly see, some skeletons were even standing at the palace gate, how could Sonam ignore this?

Before they could collect themselves, the players had already reacted first.

Sea Flip raised a large cleaver in his hand: "Brothers, the dungeon monsters have appeared! Let's take them down!"

The other players, upon hearing Sea Flip's roar, instantly reacted, raised their weapons, and charged toward the two goblins.

Tina watched silently from the side without making a move, as Fang Ka had told her that handling the goblins here was up to Fang Ka's subordinates, no need for her to interfere.

Her only task was to lead the players to the second layer and then spread the gratitude towards Fang Ka.

The Underground City consisted of three levels; the first was called the upper layer where Sonam's Royal Palace and the goblin managers' residences were.

The goblin managers did not allow any slaves to enter this level, and there were goblin managers stationed in shifts at the entrances of all three levels.

Hence the first level was vast but sparsely populated.

The second and third levels were known as the lower layers; the second level was where the slaves lived, incomparable to the environment of the first level.

The third level was where the Magic Crystal Vein was mined, goblin managers took turns to oversee the slaves excavating the Magic Crystal Ore.

Every harvested Magic Crystal was packaged by the goblin managers and then transported to the first-level warehouse.

When Sonam required them, he'd take them from the warehouse to the Royal Palace.

Seeing the skeletons rushing towards them, the two goblins shivered instantly.

They had now realized that something major must have happened in the Underground City; Sonam and those two high-tier knights were probably no longer in the Underground City, otherwise, how could so many skeletons be wreaking havoc here?

Realizing this, they immediately prepared to escape.

However, it was evidently too late.

"Brothers, release!" Iron Black Pot released the bowstring in his hand abruptly, yelling.

The other players wielding bows were quite coordinated with him, having learned archery from Iron Black Pot at a high price, and followed suit by releasing their bowstrings.

At that moment, they felt greatly moved, for previously, during the Gana Forbidden Domain cleanse, because it was underwater combat, bows weren't usable and could only serve as ornaments.

Mind you, they had spent a hefty sum learning archery from Iron Black Pot and buying fine bows from him, only to find them unusable in the dungeon? It was frustrating enough to almost make them vomit blood, though fortunately, they had none.

Now finally able to be used, they were deeply touched, eager to shoot a thousand arrows to thoroughly indulge.

The arrows sealed off all escape routes for the two goblins, causing their expressions to change drastically.

Then they drew the longswords from their waists, infusing them with their battle energy, and began to swing them to deflect the arrows.

They were only middle-tier knights, their battle energy not yet undergoing a qualitative change, making the defense rather clumsy.

Just as they had blocked the first wave of arrows, intending to take a breather, two spells struck them from bizarre angles.

It was Mr. Zhou "Old Silver Coin" and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching hiding among the players.

The two were instantly seeped in by magic, their movements slowing significantly.

At that moment, the players had already charged up to them.

Sea Flip, leading the charge, reached the two and swung his large cleaver toward one of the goblins.

"Take a slice from my fish fillet technique!"

The goblin was taken aback and hurriedly raised his longsword to block.

"Clang…"

The two weapons collided fiercely, sparking continuously.

The blue water patterns from the Water Enchantment on the cleaver and the battle energy on the longsword were slightly distorted.

The goblin middle-tier knight staggered back several steps to steady himself.

Noticing the crack in his palm, he couldn't help but marvel at Sea Flip's immense strength.

"Pssh."

Before he could make his next move, numerous arrows brushed past Sea Flip's armor and flew straight toward the goblin.

The goblin hurriedly dodged aside; however, under the influence of Dark Magic, his movements were evidently sluggish.

Two arrows directly pierced his left leg.

As he barely managed to cry out, a stray arrow flew past Flatulence's legs, piercing directly into the goblin's right leg, bringing him down to the ground.

The other rushing players raised their weapons and stabbed at the goblin on the ground.

The goblin, faced with the fierce stabs from several middle-tier Skeleton Warriors, couldn't withstand them, having his head chopped off by Flatulence's longsword, ending his life.

Flatulence retrieved his Two-Handed Greatsword and turned towards the other goblin, who was already rendered silent after having his throat slit by Wangzai Little Buns with dual daggers.

"The more I think about it, the more annoying it gets; I must find out who shot that arrow under my legs earlier and challenge him to a duel."
