The dragon just wants to stay at home, but the players are frantically upgrading their technology.

Even the most hardcore game is still just a game.

"You've been inside, do you know the approximate location of the goblin leader?"

Zhan Shuai looked at the copper-tipped leather belt and asked.

Intelligence is the most important element in special operations.

In virtual warfare, special operations spend 90 percent of their time gathering intelligence, with the remaining 10 percent spent on actual combat.

"Forehead……"

Tong Tou Pi Si scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes darting around, not daring to look Zhan Shuai in the eye.

"It's dark inside the mine, and the slaves can't run around. I only know where the goblin squad leaders live; I don't know anything beyond that."

"The goblin leader should be in the deepest part of the cave where the goblin squad leader lives, right?"

"Caliber is justice" he stroked his chin.

Primitive societies valued worship and bravery, making it impossible for them to hide the chief's house.

"..."

The warlord remained silent.

Damn it, I trusted them too much. Special operations? What a load of rubbish.

Maybe I can bring a teammate over for the second beta test.

The thought flashed through Zhan Shuai's mind for a moment, then was quickly buried.

"Activate wartime status, suppress the players' resentment, and send a few people in as spies."

After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Zhan Shuai began to make arrangements.

"Don't these goblins send people out hunting? Let's capture a goblin squad leader and interrogate him to find out where the leader is!"

"Then……"

A cold glint flashed in Zhan Shuai's eyes: "Initiate the decapitation operation immediately!"

They're just goblins.

Even if the leader cannot be found, the player has rattan armor and equipment superiority, so they can simply slaughter all the squad leaders.

Everyone listened without any objection.

"Commander, that guy..."

Tong Tou Pi Dai opened his mouth, about to ask about the inside man, when he saw Zhan Shuai look over.

"Weren't you arrested before? You took those two complaining players from the camp to act as spies."

"Also, bring along the poison made by the polar bear, and poison him when you have the chance."

After a brief discussion of the details, everyone agreed.

Immediately afterward, the group left.

Chapter 15 The Night Before the Storm

Black Rock Mountains, Southern Forest.

In the afternoon, as the sun began to set, its golden rays pierced through the tree canopy, casting dappled shadows.

A strange four-person goblin squad cautiously stepped over the fallen leaves, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings, searching for prey.

The leader was a tall, slender goblin whose exposed skin was covered with paint for hunting and camouflage.

Her face was rather gentle. She walked ahead, holding an iron spear, her sharp eyes constantly searching.

If the copper-headed belt were here, he would definitely recognize it as the goblin squad leader.

Behind the goblin squad leader, three somewhat aged goblins gripped wooden spears, their expressions tense, and followed closely behind.

In the shadows, among the trees.

The warrior and the players watched the somewhat strange goblin squad from a distance.

bait?

Zhan Shuai frowned slightly, lowered his voice, and said to the player next to him, "Go check if they have any tails."

The player slowly retreated, and soon returned to the battle, shaking his head at the handsome warrior.

Upon receiving this news, Zhan Shuai smiled.

Heh, that's interesting.

A test?

However, even if it's a test, I'll still eat it.

Not far away.

Baicaoyuan looked over, his eyes asking whether they should take action.

The commander didn't speak, but simply made a tactical gesture.

He signaled to Baicaoyuan to flank from the right, while he himself would flank from the left.

Upon receiving the order, Baicaoyuan led the players behind him without hesitation, keeping their bodies low and moving forward slowly.

The same applies to Zhan Shuai's side.

The two acted almost simultaneously.

As the speed increased and the distance closed, sound was inevitably produced.

€€€€€€€!

The sound of branches rubbing together came from both sides, instantly alerting the strange goblin squad.

Hearing the dense sounds, the goblin squad leader felt a dark cloud hanging over his heart. He glanced at the old goblins beside him, and a struggle appeared in his eyes.

If she runs, she might be able to escape, but these...

The goblin squad leader didn't think any further. He simply picked up his spear and aimed it at the side where the sound had come from, while the other aged goblins aimed at the other side.

boom!

Footsteps came from the dense forest.

A burly, dragon-blooded kobold emerged.

Do not!

Not one, but two... three...

Five dragon-blooded kobolds!

Seeing the kobolds appear from both sides, surrounding them completely, the goblin squad was plunged into despair.

If it were just five ordinary kobolds, they could still give it a try.

But these were five Tier 1 Dragonblood Warriors, and several kobolds that looked like they had been trained.

“The vessel is exposed…”

Before Zhan Shuai and the others could make a move, the leading goblin squad leader roared, and the three ordinary goblins immediately put down their spears and knelt on the ground.

The goblin squad leader slowly lowered his spear, raised his hands in a French military salute, and knelt on the ground.

"Huh? Why did you just vote?"

One player stopped in their tracks, looking surprised, and instinctively muttered, "I was still waiting to fight the mini-boss..."

Before the player could finish speaking, he felt a cold, piercing gaze shot over him.

Looking at him, there was no smile on Zhan Shuai's face; his golden vertical pupils held only coldness and warning.

The surrounding players also turned their gazes in that direction.

The player felt a chill run down his spine, an overwhelming pressure suddenly pressing down on him, and the words stuck in his throat, leaving him unable to speak.

The commander withdrew his gaze, stepped forward, and quickly made several tactical hand gestures.

To be on alert and under control.

Baicaoyuan understood immediately and led his men forward, quickly and roughly pinning the four goblins to the ground.

The remaining kobold players dispersed and became vigilant about their surroundings.

Baicaoyuan and the others took out the hemp ropes they had prepared beforehand and somewhat awkwardly tied the goblin to the ground.

Then, stuff their mouths with wads of leaves to prevent the goblins from making any noise.

After confirming the task was complete and cleaning up all traces, the Warlord led the goblins away quickly to the player camp.

Before leaving, Zhan Shuai sent Bai Caoyuan and two Dragonblood Warriors to search for traces of the remaining goblin squads.

Zhan Shuai and his group walked slowly with the goblins. When they were almost at the player camp, Bai Cao Yuan and two other Dragonblood Warrior players caught up with them.

"We scouted around the sentries and found that there was indeed only one hunting team out."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Shuai was not particularly surprised, but simply muttered something under his breath.
