Chapter 20

Thomas led his men into the town office building. Thomas discovered that although the building looked intact from the outside, it was completely empty inside. The entire building was empty, with nothing.

“This is really strange. What dark creature did this?” Thomas looked at the small town office building that only had one frame left and was a little surprised.

After all, the dark creatures had always been famous for their cruelty and destruction.

They rarely plundered the resources of humans wantonly.

Especially this kind. They even took away the floor. It was definitely not something that ordinary dark creatures could do.

Thomas decided to find traces of these dark creatures and then destroy them.

Having such a group of dark creatures in the village made Thomas feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

Thomas walked out of the town office building and walked towards the temple of the Goddess of Life.

He wanted to see if the temple of the Goddess of Life had also been robbed.

Thomas came to the entrance of the temple and was about to walk in when he suddenly heard a series of snoring sounds.

“Someone is there?”

Thomas was surprised. He quietly opened the door of the temple and carefully looked inside.

Thomas suddenly found dozens of green-skinned monsters entrenched here.

These green-skinned monsters were about 1.4 meters tall and had strong limbs. They had a pair of big ears, brown hair, and animal skin around their bodies. Beside them, there were stone axes and stone axes.

Each green-skinned monster had a pile of things around them from human clothes to all kinds of kitchenware.

From frescoes and jewelry to candlesticks and cutlery.

There were all kinds of things. It looked like a huge broken market.

The things that had disappeared from the town office were also piled here.

Seeing those green-skinned monsters, Thomas knew why the town office had been robbed.

These green-skinned monsters were called Goblins. They were dark creatures that lived in groups and lived in tribes.

These Goblins were the greediest.

If they went somewhere, they would plunder everything, not even leaving a stone behind.

Therefore, this was one of the reasons why the town office was so clean.

If they were given enough time, there wouldn’t be anything left in the town.

Everything would be taken to the temple.

Thomas had decided to kill all of these Goblins.

Just being in the temple of the Goddess of Life was enough for Thomas to sentence them to death.

However, there were more than thirty Goblins gathered here. There were too many of them.

Moreover, although these Goblins were level 1 dark creatures like the Rat-Men and the Lesser Demons, they were much stronger than the Rat-Men. Moreover, they were braver than the Lesser Demons.

They were highly organized. Although their bodies were short, they were very strong.

Moreover, they were good at using stone axes and stone ropes to coordinate with each other.

Among the level 1 dark creatures, they were considered to have higher combat strength.

It seemed that it would be difficult for Thomas and the others to deal with so many Goblins at once.

“This is a bit troublesome. How can we eliminate all these Goblins?” Thomas was in a dilemma.

Thomas circled around the temple and suddenly thought of a good idea.

The temple of the Goddess of Life was very special.

Other than the front and back two doors, there were no windows within ten meters of the ground. Even if it was ten meters away from the ground, there were only narrow high windows.

Each window was about two meters high, but the width was less than 30 centimeters.

It was said that this was specially designed to prevent the enemy from attacking.

Now, Thomas was going to use a special structure in the temple to kill these Goblins.

First, Thomas spent three level 1 magic cores to first place a White Bone Spike trap at the front door of the temple.

[Level 1 White Bone Spike detected. Super Enhancement System triggered. Increasing…]

[Level 1 White Bone Spike increased by Level 3 Blood Spike.]

[Level 3 Blood Spike. Uses hidden spikes from the ground to kill enemies. Attack Range 2 * 2 square meters.]

“Beautiful!”

Thomas looked at the Blood Spike trap in satisfaction.

This trap had already blocked the main entrance of the temple.

With the Goblins’ short stature, it was practically impossible for them to cross the two-meter Blood Spike trap.

Following that, Thomas placed a Blood Spike trap at the back door of the temple. This completely blocked the front and back doors of the temple.

After blocking the front and back doors, Thomas led O’Neill, Arya, and the others to climb up the window of the temple.

“A close-combat soldier and an archer team up. Attack immediately. Make sure to kill all the Goblins in the temple. Oh right, kill those long-range throwers first,” Thomas instructed.

“Understood!” Arya and O’Neill immediately led their men to attack.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Arrows were shot at the Goblins who were sleeping soundly in the temple.

A few Goblins were shot through the neck on the spot.

Their eyes were wide open and their hands were covering their necks. Even in death, they still could not understand where these humans came from.

“Quick! Kill a few more while they are asleep,” Thomas called out.

Arya increased the speed of her arrows.

She shot the Goblins one by one.

‘It would be great if I could kill all these Goblins in their sleep,’ Thomas thought.

However, things did not go smoothly. Before a Goblin died, it rolled and knocked down a vase.

Crash!

The sound of the vase breaking woke up the sleeping Goblins.

Seeing the dead Goblins, the Goblins became anxious.

The leading Goblin shouted loudly, causing the throwers to start fighting back.

There were specialized throwers amongst the Goblins, but due to their limited skill level, their throwing weapons were only rocks and ropes. Only a few spears could be possessed by elites.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

A large number of rocks and ropes shot towards Arya and the other archer.

“Raise your shields! Block them!”

Thomas had already expected the Goblins’ reaction. He immediately had the close-combat soldiers raise their bronze shields to block the Goblins’ counterattack.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Countless rocks smashed onto the bronze shields, producing a loud sound. However, no matter how hard the Goblins tried, they were unable to break the bronze shields.

The archers were still hiding behind the shields, calmly shooting at the Goblins.

“Chief, why don’t we rush out? If we continue to stay here, all of us will die!” one of the Goblins said to the Chief of the tribe.

“Rush out!” Seeing the tribesmen fall one by one, the Goblin Chief’s eyes turned red.

However, it also knew that if it continued to stay here, only death awaited it.

Thus, it took the lead and led its tribesmen towards the main entrance of the temple.
