Infinite Evolution of My Territory

C39 - The Action of Luring the Enemy

"We'll begin our assault at the Goblin mines," Qiang Nantie said, scrutinizing the terrain before devising an excellent strategy. "Let's move stealthily, making sure the Goblins don't detect us."

They advanced cautiously toward the mountain base where the Goblins resided, undetected, and successfully reached the foothills.

"Once inside, swiftly eliminate them all; not a single Goblin should escape. Le Dunwei and Le Kuihao, you're on gate duty. Any issues?" Qiang Nantie commanded.

"No problem!" came the unified response.

With their roles clear, Qiang Nantie nodded in approval, signaling everyone to arm themselves and commence the operation.

Huamo was lightning-fast, leaving only a stunning silhouette as she blitzed into the fray against the Goblins. Their screams filled the air.

Qiang Nantie's troops, each endowed with formidable attributes and unique skills, were overwhelming for the Goblins, who were quickly reduced to wails of defeat.

Caught off guard by the ambush, the Goblins hadn't anticipated an enemy strike.

The spacious stone cavern was surrounded by numerous tunnels, with torches ablaze in several spots, casting away any darkness.

Qiang Nantie lay in wait outside a mine entrance. At the first sound, Goblins peeked out only to be swiftly decapitated by his blade.

The next Goblin stumbled over its fallen ally and before it could recover, met the same fate at Qiang Nantie's hand.

He patrolled the nearby tunnels, dispatching emerging Goblins one after another—it was like a real-life game of whack-a-mole in their Territory.

Noticing a flood of notifications, Qiang Nantie knew this operation had netted him a substantial amount of Soul Coins.

After half an hour, they had meticulously inspected each mine, ensuring no Goblin was left.

"Lord, the Goblins that left earlier are returning with carts," Le Kuihao reported to Qiang Nantie.

"Clear the Goblins from the entrance; we'll ambush them here," Qiang Nantie ordered decisively.

Their strength was unmatched, and they quickly cleared the area of Goblin bodies. After all, in a mine, there was never a shortage of stones.

After ducking behind the rocks, they concealed themselves.

Soon, a group of Goblins strolled in, pushing rudimentary wheelbarrows into the mine.

"Brothers, time to haul the ore," the Goblins called out.

But they were stunned by what they saw.

Without a moment's hesitation, Qiang Nantie, concealed behind the rocks, brandished his weapon and mercilessly slaughtered them.

"Leave one alive to escape," Qiang Nantie commanded.

Though puzzled, the group allowed one Goblin to flee the cave.

Wounded grievously, the Goblin emerged outside the cave, crying for help.

Before it could get far, Tung Xinghan hurled a short spear, ending the Goblin's life.

Confusion spread among them.

Hadn't Qiang Nantie intended to let it go? Why then did he kill it?

"Drag that Goblin back, toss the other corpses aside, and wait for the rest of the Goblins to attack," Qiang Nantie instructed once more.

Huamo and Bi Yu now grasped his strategy; it was a classic bait-and-trap.

Indeed, the Goblin warriors training on the mountain, hearing their comrade's plea at the base, were momentarily baffled.
