Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 72: A Trap Within a Trap

That elf wasn't telling the truth!

This was Bakoyannis' first thought at the moment. He never said that the other party would actually release a lightning bolt!
Fortunately, this young man didn't seem to want to hurt others, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss as early as the first time they met.

That gem seems to be a powerful magical item...

At that moment, Bakoyannis seemed to have grasped some information: No wonder the elf was willing to pay a high price, could it be that he had other intentions and his target was the gem?
Got to get it!
The preference and obsession for magic items is a common trait among spellcasters, and Bakoyannis is no exception. With this in mind, three spellcasters and three guards were immediately ordered to rush out to chase Ron, while the others, with Bakoyannis as the center, entered a state of preparation for battle.

There were five people on the other side, and Bakoyannis didn't believe that Ron alone would dare to come secretly to rescue those slaves.

It might be that the other party is using himself as bait, but this bait... is too fragrant!
Sure enough, not long after Ron led the six pursuers behind him and ran away, the sound of metal armor and shields colliding came from the woods on the other side.

"Half-elf," Bakoyannis narrowed his eyes, "Your trick is really not new. If a mage like me chooses to stay in the camp, how will you deal with it?"

"Then I'll chop you off!"

The barbarians' roars startled flocks of birds and beasts in the forest. As they were talking, two guards rushed up and started fighting with Sera.

On the other side, the light of lightning continued to flash in the woods. It was obvious that it was Ron who was trying to stop others from coming back to help after switching his attack and defense.

"It's just a futile struggle. Once the fight over there is over, none of you can escape." Bakoyannis sneered as she dodged Victoria's mace and Ivy's sword, and fought back with the dagger in her hand. Obviously, she was not just a spellcaster. As a leader who could dominate her accomplices, Bakoyannis was indeed extraordinary.

At this time, Ivy and Victoria's shields became a burden. Bakoyannis, in turn, took advantage of the shields and blind spots to dodge back and forth. For a while, the three of them were evenly matched.

However, even though he was able to fight two people at once, Bakoyannis was still at ease, using his martial arts and magic to shuttle back and forth between the gaps between the two people's shields and weapons, but he had an unsolved mystery in his heart.

It's too easy for the other party to come to your door. Is there really such a good thing in the world?

Can our side easily get the bounty of five people?

Wait, five people?
Bakoyannis was shocked. There were three of them, plus Ron, so there were only four people. How come there was one missing?
Who is coming?

"It's you, my uncle Driver!" At this juncture, any distraction could be fatal, not to mention when someone was plotting against you unintentionally.

Bakoyannis was distracted for a moment, and Ivy seized the opportunity to press forward with her tower shield and Victoria's leather round shield, which compressed Bakoyannis's roaming space to a very narrow level. The leader with dark circles under his eyes instinctively dodged backwards, but he never expected that as his shoulders suddenly sank, a dagger with a cold light was already on her well-maintained neck.

"Keep your eyes open and don't move! Put down your weapons!" the goblin hunter shouted at the top of his lungs, "or you'll be waiting for your leader to collect his body!"

But it was obvious that the few people did not reach a consensus on how to deal with Bakoyannis. Just as the other two guards were about to surrender, Sera's axe had already crushed their faces like a millstone.

"How dare you be distracted?!" Following the barbarian's roar, all the living people present couldn't help but close their eyes. Even for the three slaves closest to them, it was useless because their heads and faces were covered with blood in an instant.

"Sera..." Ivy sighed, "Didn't we agree on this?"

"Hey! I was so excited about the fight that I forgot about it!" Sera chuckled.

"How did you..." Bakoyannis looked at the men in shock. She tried to throw Driver off her body, but all she got in return was the sharp blade that got closer.

"It's the same old trick," Ivy said with a smug smile, "but we've done a little more development on Ron's idea."

"You three are also bait!" Bakoyannis now understood the whole story, "The ultimate target is me!"

"That's right," Victoria put her hands on her hips, "In fact, we didn't plan to let Driver do more, but you were too slippery. Ivy and I couldn't catch you at all."

"Drivedo is good at catching loaches!" the goblin shouted in Bakoyannis' ear.

"Look, Ron is coming!" Sera pointed to the forest. At this moment, a young man was running towards this side, and behind him were four guys who were covered in dust but were still chasing him.

Without Ron's help (in fact, he was so out of breath that he couldn't even shout), Ivy stepped forward to protect him behind her, while Sera let out a series of war cries, and killed all the pursuers who were already disoriented by the electrocution as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"My aim is not that good!" Ron sat on the ground, laughing and panting while saying in a hoarse voice, "I used up all six lightning bolts and only killed two!"

"These guys have suffered a lot, that's good." Sera came back carrying the huge axe that was still dripping with blood, "If you hadn't tortured them so much, it would have been difficult for me to chop them!"

"If you guys hadn't dealt with this, I would have been caught up in no time!" Ron lay on the ground, looking askance at Bakoyannis who was being held by Driver, "Hey, long time no see!"

"Smart guy!" Bakoyannis lowered her head slightly and looked at Ron. She did not underestimate him, but she still lost to him. "I have been hunting geese all year round, but I didn't expect to be pecked in the eye by a goose!"

"If you walk by the river often, you will inevitably fall into the well." Ron waved his hand to signal his companions to untie all the slaves.

These tortured guys were naturally grateful to Ron and others, and immediately rushed towards the dead perpetrators, snatched clothes, shoes and weapons from them, and armed themselves.

The dangerous environment here is obvious to all. They must unite and unite around Ron and others to truly gain freedom.

But among these people, Ron found that there were two people who were not in a hurry to snatch equipment from others, but walked towards him one after another.
