Chapter 406: Reunion with Belinna and Nara
"They want to fight?"
"Looks like it!"
"Should we kill them?"
"Hold on!"
Seeing the surrounded humans preparing for battle, the goblins muttered among themselves.
"How do you say that human phrase again?"
"I remember, let me go!"
"Alright, you go!"
A goblin warrior stepped out from the ranks.
Shouldering a spiked mace, he swaggered toward the surrounded human soldiers.
"S-surrender, n-no kill!"
Though the words were slurred and broken,
The human soldiers could understand.
Seeing a goblin actually speaking the human language,
The human soldiers were visibly shocked.
"Surrender, n-no kill!"
Seeing the human soldiers hesitate, the goblin speaking human tongue glared fiercely.
The human soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"We surrender!"
The officer leading the soldiers was the first to drop his weapon.
He had thought it was a dead end, a fight to the death.
Unexpectedly, a sliver of hope appeared.
Faced with life and death, he made his decision.
With the officer taking the lead, the other soldiers also dropped their weapons one after another.
This scene played out throughout the city.
Some soldiers surrendered and were led away by goblins.
Some chose to resist and fight to the death.
But their fate was being completely overwhelmed by the goblins.
"Ah!"
After successfully capturing the Garrison Fort, the goblins began a massive search of the city.
They stormed into every building.
Amid the civilians' screams, they took away the beautiful females.
"Wait, I think she's ugly!"
In one house, a group of goblins found a couple hiding.
The couple had been dragged out from under the bed in terror.
A boy and a girl hiding in the wardrobe were also found.
The goblins sized up the woman and sneered.
"The king likes big tits and fat asses. Her ass is way too small!"
"Boss, what does 'big tits and fat asses' mean?"
A big goblin leaned in curiously to ask the goblin warrior leader.
The goblin leader gestured with his hands.
"It means two big lumps of flesh on the chest, and the ass should be fat and round!"
Hearing this, all the goblins stared at the woman again.
No flesh on the chest, no meat on the ass.
So damn ugly!
The same thought popped up in every goblin's mind.
"Boss, let's go!"
"Go, go, go! We gotta find pretty women for the king! Wahaha!"
"Pretty women, pretty women!"
The goblins noisily ran outside,
Leaving the confused couple behind.
They didn't understand what the goblins were saying,
But from the looks of disdain, it was obvious they were being looked down upon.
This scene was happening all over the Garrison Fort.
Garrison Fort, the Earl's Mansion.
"Such a familiar place!"
Walking through the courtyard, Li Meng looked around, feeling nostalgic.
The last time he came here was more than half a year ago.
The pavilion not far away reminded him of two women.
The flower garden brought memories of another woman.
"Belinna and Nara should still be in the city, right?"
[Yes, they are in the Garrison Fort, controlled by the goblins.]
Li Meng looked up at the ravens circling the sky.
"Go, find Belinna and Nara!"
"Got it, I got it!"
The raven cawed and flew north.
The raven didn't know Belinna and Nara, but Xiao Bai did.
Through the spiritual link between ravens and the Raven Queen,
Xiao Bai could send messages and control ordinary ravens.
Without entering the mansion, Li Meng headed toward the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, Li Meng sat by the stone table.
A few ravens landed on the pavilion's railings.
"King, the main army has entered the city!"
One raven cawed loudly.
"Gobu Hui wants to keep chasing the fleeing humans. Should we allow it?"
"No, the first phase of the war is over."
"Got it, I'll go tell him!"
The raven flapped its wings and flew north.
"Notify Gobu Gao, Gobu Yi, Gobu Chi, Gobu Zhi, and Gobu Gao to divide camps along the north, east, and west walls!"
Another raven flapped its wings and left.
"Go find a few humans who can talk, preferably merchants, and bring them to me!"
"Yes, King, I'll go now!"
Another raven flapped its wings and left.
Stretching lazily, Li Meng glanced at Xiao Bai standing gracefully beside him.
Gesturing with his hands to form a heart, he looked Xiao Bai up and down.
"Xiao Bai, you're really beautiful!"
Sitting across from Li Meng, Annie pouted slightly.
Boss obviously loved Xiao Bai like crazy,
But he just wouldn't touch her.
Just as Li Meng said, the first phase of the war was over.
With the human army's retreat, the Garrison Fort completely fell into goblin hands.
Nearly over a hundred thousand civilians were trapped inside the city.
But the massacres humans feared did not happen.
Though the goblins dragged civilians out of hiding,
They only took a small number of women.
For those men trying to protect their women, the goblins didn't kill them.
They just beat them until they couldn't fight.
Amid the civilians' screams, the fallen Garrison Fort迎来 its first night.
"Mom, I'm scared!"
At night, inside a room at the Earl's Mansion.
A mother and daughter sat on a bed, hugging tightly.
Nara clung uneasily to her mother, who had a large pregnant belly.
Only like this could she feel somewhat at ease.
Belinna held her daughter tightly, comforting her.
"Don't be afraid, Mommy's here!"
Though saying that, Belinna's heart was filled with fear too.
They were goblins—ruthless goblins.
Even though they hadn't been harmed yet,
It was possible the goblins were just saving them for later.
"Click!"
At that moment, a sudden "click" sounded.
The door burst open.
The mother and daughter jumped in fright,
Staring in terror at the door.
But when they looked,
Both their expressions froze.
"I-it's you?"
Belinna stared blankly at the young man entering the room.
She recognized him—she could never forget him.
Because the child in her belly belonged to the boy before her.
Li Meng stepped into the room and smiled gently.
"Madam Belinna, Nara, it's been a while."
Nara broke free from her mother's embrace,
Tears streaming down her face as she ran into Li Meng's arms.
"Ugh, it was so scary!"
Nara cried into Li Meng's chest.
Li Meng smiled gently, stroking Nara's little head to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid. It's safe here. No one can hurt you."
"Really?"
Nara looked up, her eyes filled with tears, gazing at Li Meng.
Li Meng held Nara and sat down beside Belinna.
Looking at Belinna beside him, Li Meng smiled warmly.
