"Free?"
The women stared at Adrian for a while, their eyes suddenly gleaming.
Ever since they were imprisoned by the Goblins, they had lived a life of humiliation.
At first, they also thought of resisting.
But they had to face the ferocious Goblins!
Originally, there were four women imprisoned here. Except for the blonde woman who was brought in yesterday, the other three were amnesiacs who were teleported with Adrian .
One of the women had an arrow in her chest—the woman who was shot when Adrian climbed over the wall earlier.
The Goblins did not heal wounds, and that woman died not long after.
And the Goblins devoured the woman's corpse in front of the other women!
That terrifying scene was deeply etched in their minds.
They had endured severe mental torment all day!
When the battle started just now, all the women huddled together, their eyes tightly shut, not daring to look at the bloody scene.
They didn't expect that this battle was initiated by humans against the Goblins.
And it was to save them!
The moment the young man in front of them told them they were free, tears streamed uncontrollably from the women's eyes.
Adrian saw the women crying and wanted to comfort them, but the Summon that attracted the Short Axe Goblin had already been caught and killed.
Now the Short Axe Goblin was rushing back.
Every second delayed here meant more danger!
"Everyone, the Goblin's leader is already on his way back, and I am no match for him!"
Adrian said to everyone with a serious expression, "I know you are very sad, but now is not the time for sorrow. We need to escape quickly!"
The women had been staying in the church and naturally knew how formidable the Goblin leader Adrian spoke of was.
Hearing that he was rushing back, the women also put aside their sorrow, wiped away their tears, covered their bodies with their tattered clothes, and got up to follow behind Adrian .
Before leaving the church, Adrian also plundered all the valuable items inside.
The claws and left ears from the Goblin corpses on the ground were also cut off and put into his backpack for later use.
While escaping, Adrian also had the Summon Goblins spread out to be on alert.
Adrian did not let the women interact with the Summon Goblins.
The matter of Summoning monsters was inexplicable, and Adrian did not want to cause any complications.
Things that needed to be kept secret should still be kept secret.
Even if they noticed that a few Goblins were helping Adrian in the previous battle, they wouldn't associate it with Adrian being able to Summon Goblins.
If they asked, Adrian could just make up an excuse to brush them off.
Half a minute after Adrian led the people away, the Short Axe Goblin emerged from a direction in the forest.
Seeing that only a few corpses remained in the church and all the captured human women had escaped, the Short Axe Goblin roared in anger.
Just then, a small Goblin emerged from the grass not far from the church.
It pointed in the direction Adrian had left and gesticulated, saying something.
After listening, the Short Axe Goblin chopped down the Goblin in front of him with an axe.
Only when he saw that the corpse on the ground did not dissipate, did he pick up his axe and chase madly in the direction Adrian had left.
The four women had not eaten anything these past few days except for some water—the Goblins did give them food, but it was human flesh!
Extremely weak, they could not walk fast in the forest at all.
Adrian was anxious.
A path that would normally take ten minutes to run would take half an hour at their current speed!
But he also knew that the women were already doing their best.
After another two minutes, a Summon Goblin covering the rear discovered the Short Axe Goblin catching up and quickly overtook the Summon Goblin.
Adrian didn't expect the opponent to actually catch up.
A Level 5 Summon Goblin was no match for the Short Axe Goblin.
It only lasted ten seconds before the Summon Goblin was cut down!
Looking at the pale-faced, panting four women, Adrian gritted his teeth and pointed at a Mark on a nearby tree, saying, "Pay attention to the Marks on the trees. Follow the Marks, and you will soon get out of the forest.
Once out of the forest, walk in the direction the sun sets. There is a town there!
Once you reach the town, you will be safe!"
The women didn't know the Short Axe Goblin was catching up and thought Adrian was trying to abandon them.
"Please, don't abandon me!"
The blonde woman grabbed Adrian 's arm, her face full of pleading, "Sir, my town was attacked by monsters, and many people died. I barely escaped and was then caught by Goblins.
Sir, please don't leave me!
I don't want to be caught by Goblins again!"
The other three women had been captured by Goblins ever since they arrived in this Another World .
Even now, with their memories lost, they still didn't understand what was happening.
Adrian and they woke up in the same place, and coupled with his solo risk to save them, the three women's dependence on Adrian was directly maximized.
Hearing Adrian tell them to walk the rest of the way themselves, they felt a sense of being abandoned again.
However, before they could speak, they heard Adrian state the reason.
"The Goblin leader is catching up, I have to lure him away!"
"What?" The four women were all startled, then their faces filled with worry.
They remembered Adrian had said before that he was no match for the Goblin leader.
"We can run a little faster… maybe he'll chase in the wrong direction…" a black-haired woman said weakly.
"No, he's almost here!" Adrian turned and left before she could finish her sentence.
Leaving aside whether they could speed up.
Even if they could, the Short Axe Goblin would easily catch up.
"You don't have to wait for me. Remember, when you reach Gruer Town, go to Guangyue Tavern and find Lia. She is our companion!"
This sentence was addressed to the three black-haired women.
The three women exchanged glances, understanding Adrian 's meaning in their hearts.
They watched Adrian 's retreating figure, biting their lips, and silently prayed for Adrian , "You must come back!"
Seeing the four women leave, Adrian re-Summoned two Goblins.
Looking at the flattened grass, Adrian gave a bitter smile.
"Is that what he's tracking me by? I need to be careful in the future!"
Inexperienced Adrian had forgotten to cover his tracks.
The Short Axe Goblin was tracking them by the traces Adrian and the others left on the grass.
After waiting for a short while in place, Adrian and the Summon Goblins hidden elsewhere sensed the Short Axe Goblin's movement.
"He's really fast!"
Adrian saw the Short Axe Goblin appear in his sight and was glad he hadn't taken any chances.
If he hadn't stayed behind to cover their retreat, and the Short Axe Goblin caught up, he wouldn't be able to protect those women in battle!
Now, by stopping early to set up the battlefield, he still had room to maneuver.
On a thick branch of a large tree, a Summon Goblin held a bow, its arrow aimed at the fast-moving Short Axe Goblin below.
