The carriage sped along the main road. Ya Yan glanced back to make sure no goblins were chasing after them.
"That's really strange!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Nan asked, gripping the reins.
"I remember the Goblin Wolf Riders were the Goblin King's elite troops. How did they end up here?" Ya Yan recalled his memories of fighting the goblins.
This world is strange. The nobles only care about their family's glory and the pursuit of money and power, and they disdain dealing with those lowly dark creatures.
High-ranking mercenary groups consider dragon hunting an honor, and even though dragons have long since disappeared into the corners of the world, they are unwilling to deal with low-level dark creatures.
The knights of the various cities fought each other for the benefit of their own lords, and always entrusted the goblins to mercenary groups to deal with.
In the end, it was mostly newly established mercenary groups that dealt with the goblins.
"Hey! Ya Yan, you're daydreaming!" Lu Nan nudged Ya Yan.
"I... Lu Nan, do you still remember how we dealt with the goblins back then?" Ya Yan recalled some unpleasant memories.
"Ha! Those brats?" Lu Nan stroked his chin. "That was a long time ago."
“Yeah, we haven’t faced those brats since we got through the newbie phase.” Ya Yan thought of his sister who was forced to be buried in the goblin’s lair.
"No one keeps track of how many newcomers are killed by goblins every year. Apart from the lucky ones who are sponsored by nobles early on, most of them are buried in goblin lairs!"
"Hey, actually there aren't that many. Those little devils are just scary in their methods, but they're not that strong in reality!" Lu Nan smiled.
But Ya Yan suddenly glared at him: "Have you forgotten how Ya Lian died?"
"Yalian?" Lu Nan was taken aback. "Who is that?"
"Ya Lian! My sister! We buried her together!!" Ya Yan almost roared.
Lu Nan frowned and scratched his head. He seemed to remember that Ya Yan had an older sister, but he didn't know how she died.
Not only that, but they've also completely forgotten all the experience they had in dealing with those little devils back then.
"..." The two remained silent, seemingly because Lu Nan's forgetfulness had deeply hurt Ya Yan.
Inside the carriage, El looked at the sleeping Firi, then at Lunan and Yayan driving the carriage ahead.
She couldn't sleep because the narrator kept talking in her ear, which meant she was still in danger.
At this moment, Aize was lured into an ambush by the goblin army; had it not been for his heavy armor, he would likely have already died.
Hey! Don't look at me like that. You brought these people here yourself, are you blaming me?
"What do you mean I brought them here?"

"Holy crap! When did this appear?" Elsie hadn't looked at her data template much, so she hadn't noticed its existence.
[This person just eats and sleeps all day long; I won't name names here!]
"Shut up! You're being a jerk again! Does this mean I'm out of danger?"
[It's also possible that danger has already arrived; my suggestion is to jump out of the moving vehicle.]
Elsie pointed to herself: "Huh? Me?"
Suddenly the carriage stopped. Ya Yan stared ahead, his eyes darting around, as if he were looking at something terrifying.
"My Vanessa!" Lu Nan exclaimed, "What is this thing?!"
Under the moonlight, in the middle of the last stretch of road leading to Locke City, a group of wolf riders blocked the carriage's path.
To be precise, this was a group of heavily armored wolf riders!
"Are you kidding me!" Ya Yan felt like the world had gone mad: "Goblin heavy cavalry?"
There were a total of five goblin wolf riders. They looked like large goblins, taller than ordinary goblins, but not quite giant goblins.
Unlike the previous wolf riders, these wolves were stronger and clad in silver armor.
The goblins on the wolf's back are all heavily armored, wielding meteor hammers, lances, or spears.
Of the five goblins, only one was unique, as he was the only one with full-body heavy armor, the style of which was the same as that of the Tilan family's heavy armor.
"Why did my heart suddenly feel half-cold?" Elsie leaned against the window, looking ahead.
[Because the enemy used the fear skill on you.]

[Fear Intensified (Beginner): Targets marked with the Fear skill have a chance to enter a state of frenzy, based on their willpower, resulting in a 10% reduction in all attributes.]

"That's not necessarily true!" Elsie said, hands on her hips, gazing into the distance.
"My ultimate weapon is here!"
