Chapter 61 Split up
Alan felt that these people's weapons, equipment and uniforms were not uniform, so they should not be a formal team.
Notis asked if there were any wizards or priests. The pig-headed man said that he had not seen anyone casting magic, but they might be holding the line from behind.
Here, only Notis had participated in battles with humans and had relatively more experience.
After some summary, I thought that this should be a team of bandits and robbers, and there must be a few scouts or thieves among them, because the attack on the Pig-Headed Man was very thorough and there must have been prior reconnaissance.
In addition, the human with dual swords who injured the pig-headed captain was probably a master among them. Based on the pig-headed captain's description of the battlefield, it was very likely that this person was commanding on the spot.
This person's fighting ability should be comparable to Corolla's, both are between green jade and emerald jade. Of course, he is not afraid of even Ruby Dora. His current strength is about the Ruby level. If he has a lightsaber, he can fight against bronze adventurers.
Alan thought about it and felt that this information was not enough to determine the purpose and actions of these humans. He proposed to go to the Pig-Headed Man Tribe to investigate the battlefield traces, and then secretly go to the vicinity of these humans' camps to investigate and see if they could find anything. After all, they were too close to the nest, and it would be too passive if they knew nothing about the enemy's intelligence when a conflict occurred.
Notis was a little surprised. Most of the goblins were of low IQ type. Those who could learn some shamanistic priests were considered smart. Alan had never experienced war, but he knew the importance of intelligence. It was really not easy.
However, Notis felt that if the enemy camp was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside, she could still try a sneak attack if she had the chance. Attacking humans was also a tradition of the goblins.
Everyone had no objection and immediately decided that Alan would lead the team, which would consist of Notis and the pig-headed captain, five stronger pig-headed men and six goblins.
This time they are going to deal with humans, and Allen thinks that Corolla should not participate. Although everyone trusts Corolla, it is not a good idea to let her fight with her fellow humans.
Although the Monster Hunter also took over the task of clearing out the bandits, Corolla had never killed anyone and had no objection to this arrangement.
Notis also thought that Alan's arrangement was good and considerate.
Therefore, Alan did not nominate other goblins and pig-headed men. Instead, he asked Corolla, the human captive and his slave, to stay and protect the nest. She commanded the other goblins and pig-headed men, including the old priest next to him.
Notis told Corolla to protect herself and other women. If the pig-headed men and goblins were not honest during the stay, they could just be killed. None of the monsters left here were named monsters, and they were no match for the female hunter.
It was the first time that Corolla was trusted by someone like this. She felt warm inside and it was a really good feeling.
Alan felt that speed was of the essence, so he asked the goblins accompanying him to prepare food and water, as well as the javelin that Dora often used, and the group of monsters set out at dawn.
The morning light shines through the trees and mist into the forest, and occasionally the sound of birds can be heard.
Corolla and the old priest who stayed behind stood at the entrance of the cave in silence for a long time.
Watching the reconnaissance team disappear completely in the forest, the hunched old priest suddenly realized a horrible fact: the slave of the leader standing next to him was a powerful monster hunter, and unlike before, she was not tied up now.
If Corolla wanted to take the opportunity to kill all the monsters in the cave and then escape with the women to join humans, there would be absolutely no way to stop her now.
After all, the fighting power of ordinary goblins is similar to that of human teenagers, and the average pig-headed man is no better than a human strongman. Even if these monsters are ferocious and cruel, for a female hunter who is close to the jade level, it is like Tyson in kindergarten, who is no match for her with empty hands.
This made the old priest, who had just thought of this, break out in a cold sweat, his whole body stiffened, and he almost didn't dare to turn around to look at the female hunter next to him.
The early morning sun slowly shines outside the cave, accompanied by the morning mist and the chirping of birds, the woods seem cold and deep.
Corolla slowly turned his head and glanced at the old priest standing beside him. He sneered, suddenly reached out and pulled out the big sword behind him, and stabbed it into the entrance of the cave with a bang. The blade flashed with cold light.
The old priest was frightened by the hunter's sudden action and his legs went limp. He sat down on the ground and looked up to see Corolla's cold eyes...
"you!"
The old priest was about to scream for help, but before he could make a sound, Corolla grabbed him by the neck.
On the other side, Alan, Notis and their group spent half a day carefully arriving at the pig-headed man's former lair, only to see a mess of ruins, with wooden walls and mud houses all burned down.
Dora used the Force to sense that there was no one else around, and it seemed that all the humans had already evacuated. However, he still sent a few goblins to scout and keep watch just in case.
Alan and Notis looked around the ruined camp, searching for clues.
Unfortunately, the Pig-Headed Man retreated in such a panic that he offered almost no resistance, so no useful remaining information could be found.
There were two more corpses in the pit where the pig-headed men used to store food scraps. They were the two pig-headed men killed by humans and had been burned to charcoal.
Notis took a careful look and found no signs of magic or witchcraft. The camp was simply burned by arson.
Alan did not find any remains of bow or crossbow arrow handles nearby. It seemed that the opponent either did not have much long-range attack capability, or was quite confident and felt that long-range firepower was not necessary to deal with the pig-headed man.
More importantly, no traces of bullets or explosives were found. Alan knew that there were already muskets and artillery in this world. The last hunter who was eaten by the ferocious jackal dragon used a crossbow.
The pig-headed captain also walked around the area, but with his intelligence, he naturally didn't find anything.
Alan and Notis discussed it and decided that they needed to get closer to the human camp to conduct some reconnaissance in order to obtain more information.
The pig-headed captain was a little scared. The knife that hit him almost took his life. He didn't want to find those humans at all, but he didn't dare to directly oppose Doro and Gurulu's decision.
Captain Pighead thought about it and decided to make a roundabout suggestion: "The human hunter should stay in the cave and kill the others. Don't worry."
The pig-headed captain struggled to express his concerns, saying that it would be unsafe for others if such a powerful human hunter like Corolla stayed in the cave.
