Chapter 59: The Adventurer Team in the Village
Following the direction of the cleric uncle’s gaze.
Above the distant hills, hundreds of green-skinned Goblins waved wooden sticks and iron bars, shouting as they charged over.
“Block them! We can’t let these monsters break through! Watch out for stealth-breaking!”
The cleric uncle pulled out a giant cross as big as a door from behind him and planted it in front of him, while everyone else was on high alert, preparing to meet the Goblin’s attack.
Just then, he suddenly heard the young man beside him speak:
“Sentinel, open fire.”
The order was given.
Opening its red glowing eyes, it continuously spun.
Hundreds of light wheels appeared out of thin air under the feet of the Goblins that had entered the 150-meter warning range, and even the Goblin Slayer in a stealth state was instantly broken out of it.
“Hum——”
Weapons appeared.
Afterwards.
Open fire!
Bullets poured forth, every single one accurately hitting the Goblins’ vital spots.
The ferocious attacks prevented all Goblins from entering the Sentinel’s 150-meter warning range.
The instinct of fear made the lowest-level Goblins turn around and flee.
Some Goblins escaped the 150-meter warning range.
But, could they really escape?
“Chase after them.”
Command updated.
The Sentinel detached from the Train, and even while equipped with a heavy machine gun, it could still pursue forward at an extremely fast speed.
These Goblins were destined to die here the moment they attempted to charge at Ye Qiyan.
When the gunshots stopped, all hundreds of Goblins were hunted down.
The Sentinel returned above the Train to continue its guard.
Ye Qiyan patted the shoulder of the dumbfounded cleric uncle beside him.
“Uncle, are you hurt?”
“Ah? Uh, well, who, who on earth are you? Just what was that?”
The cleric uncle recovered his wits, swallowing hard as he looked at Ye Qiyan’s harmless appearance.
“I just said, I’m just passing by, but as it happens, my target should be the strongest individual among these Goblins. Tell me, where is it?”
This is a Hunting Platform, so there must be a hunting target.
Just like that old bat.
“The strongest Goblin? Do you mean the Goblin General?”
From this cleric uncle’s mouth, Ye Qiyan learned about the current situation.
This village was surrounded by a legion composed of five thousand Goblins.
There were over two hundred civilians in the village. As adventurers, they were hired by the human royalty to defend the village so that the people inside could evacuate.
Of course, when the cleric said this, he smiled and shook his head.
“Of course, how could the people of the Kingdom spend a huge amount of money to hire high-level adventurer teams like us just for civilians in a border village.”
The real reason was that a princess of the human royalty was currently staying somewhere in this village looking for something.
Therefore, this adventurer team had to prevent Goblins from invading the village for at least five hours, until the princess found what she was looking for and left safely.
And the commander of the Goblin legion outside the village was a Goblin General.
It should be the hunting target of Ye Qiyan’s current stop.
“Five thousand… can you guys really hold out for five hours?”
Ye Qiyan was skeptical about the cleric uncle’s words.
After all, these people didn’t look like they could withstand five thousand Goblins no matter how you looked at it.
The cleric uncle laughed heartily.
“We are a famous adventurer team in the Kingdom. Although it’s unlikely to defeat the Goblin legion, we can still manage to hold them off.”
He pointed at the sky.
“Look over there, we’ve set up a barrier. As long as the Goblin army arrives and we activate the barrier, they won’t be able to charge in.”
Looking at the other person’s mysterious and confident expression, Ye Qiyan silently looked at the translucent light film in the sky that had not yet fallen.
He always felt it wasn’t as reliable as he claimed.
“Will that Goblin General come too?”
“Of course. Oh right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Donald, and I’m a cleric. If your target is that Goblin General, you can stay here. Outside is very dangerous, and further ahead outside the village, the Train tracks have long been destroyed by the Goblins.”
Donald’s gaze glanced towards the Sentinel a few times, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Target confirmed, Ye Qiyan accepted Donald’s invitation to stay temporarily.
The people in this adventurer team were not bad. Ye Qiyan exchanged a few bottles of iced beer for their trust.
Compared to the Goblin General which was his hunting target, Ye Qiyan was actually more curious about what in the village was worth a princess coming personally to search for.
Donald’s alcohol tolerance was average. After drinking a little too much, he blurted out everything he knew.
“We don’t know what it specifically is, but we heard that an ancient ruin was discovered beneath this village, and there might be some treasures inside, haha.”
“But it’s also strange, huh? We’ve wandered around the village a few times, so how come we didn’t notice any entrance to the ruins? Who knows where that princess and the people she brought in entered from.”
An ancient ruin with no entrance found?
What kind of treasure could be hidden there?
Could it be the Treasure Chest of this stop? Or something else?
Ye Qiyan’s interest was piqued. Taking advantage of the gap to get more wine, Ye Qiyan returned to the Train.
Looking at Wall-E spinning in place and amusing itself, he patted its iron head.
“It’s your turn to make an appearance. Go and bring back the most precious thing of this stop, don’t let me down.”
A Train Coin turned into dark golden spots of light and integrated into Wall-E’s body.
It patted its square body with its machine pliers, giving off an expression of ‘leave it to me’.
“Be careful, don’t get caught by anyone. If you can’t handle it, come back to find me, there’s no need to take risks.”
Watching Wall-E’s departing back, Ye Qiyan instructed him.
Hearing his concern, Wall-E’s camera-like eyes actually made a moved expression, nodded, rubbed against Ye Qiyan’s calf a few times, rolled its tracks, and entered the village without being discovered by anyone.
Near an earth house, it found the entrance leading underground.
“Brother Ye Qiyan, why are you so slow? We thought you drank too much and fell asleep inside the Train, hahaha.”
“He’s a top adventurer with his own Train, how could he get drunk so easily.”
“I’m so envious that you have a Train. How much money did you spend to buy it from RUN Corporation? We’ve saved for over ten years and only saved 18 coins, and we’re still 3 short to buy our own Train. Sigh… Who knows where the remaining 3 can be found.”
“Won’t there be a coin after the Kingdom’s mission is completed this time, Boss? We’ll soon have a Train too! When that time comes, we won’t have to ride those butt-bruising carriages wherever we want to go.”
“Haha, right! We’ll have one soon!”
RUN Corporation?
Walking out of the Train, upon hearing that somewhat familiar name in those people’s conversation, his footsteps paused.
He heard the name of this company once again.
Where was it last time?
In Doomsday Town, the monster in that silverware shop used 3 Train Coins to buy a piece of cake from RUN Corporation that it thought could cure its daughter, but the Courier from that company died on the edge of the town.
This was the second time.
What they wanted to buy was a Train?
