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

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Finley perked up, quickly composed himself, and ran over.

Looking around, Finley spotted Broken Bones running wildly down the narrow mountain path with a dozen or so vanguards and stragglers.

"Truly worthy of being called Bone Shatterer!"

Finley couldn't help but sigh, realizing he hadn't followed the wrong person before.

The Bonebreakers and the Goblin army were indeed weaker than the Blackscale Clan.

But that's because the Blackscale Clan's weapons, tactics, and soldiers are too strong.

The goblin army is not weak even when placed in the northern grasslands inhabited by a large number of demi-human races.

The only problem is that the goblin army lacks cavalry.

"Sigh... In the end, Broken Bones still got away!"

Looking at the shattered bones that were gradually approaching the exit of the narrow mountain path, Mog sighed helplessly.

"But it's alright, after all, we defeated an elite goblin army..."

"No, what are you talking about?"

Walking slowly over, Zhan Shuai glanced at the situation below and looked up at the two of them.

"He can't escape; we have a backup plan."

"What? There's another trick up your sleeve?"

Upon hearing this, Mog and Finley looked at the Warmaster in astonishment.

"Sigh~"

Mog gasped, unsure what to say.

I just felt that the Blackscale Clan was absolutely terrifying.

It's one thing for low-ranking soldiers to be fearless.

The War General had actually devised so many tactics and backup plans, completely manipulating the Broken Bones.

"Commander! I want to learn!"

Finley's eyes lit up as he stared excitedly at the War General.

He had no doubt about Zhan Shuai's words.

The various tactics used previously have completely proven that Zhan Shuai's tactical abilities far surpass his own.

It's quite normal for a war commander to be able to foresee this level.

He, however, never expected that the War General could have foreseen this.

"Of course, of course!"

Zhan Shuai was a little smug and wiped his nose.

Playing games is nothing more than finding fun and showing off.

What is there that cannot be taught?

"You have an apprentice now? Aren't you happy?"

"Justice is the ultimate truth" walked over slowly, mimicking the tone of the war commander from before, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"I'm so happy!"

Zhan Shuai nodded naturally and glanced at Finley.

"However... I'd rather he call me Dad."

"Strange fetishes of boys."

The official stance remained silent, his gaze sweeping towards the abandoned trade route.

"Let's see who takes down the Broken Bones in the end."

Upon hearing this, the others all looked down.

Finley, on the other hand, kept stealing glances at the Warmaster.

He was pondering whether he should satisfy the War General.

Chapter 45 Why is the General laughing?

Narrow mountain road.

The broken bones had already joined up with the stragglers and the vanguard.

But the stragglers and vanguard looked at the mountain pass with despair on their faces, and there were faint signs that they were about to flee.

They never imagined that the goblin army would be wiped out in the time it took to scout a road.

Former comrades and military flags were destroyed in the massive explosion, leaving only severed limbs and debris.

The once mighty and powerful General Shattered Bones is now in a sorry state.

"What are you standing there for! Run!"

The charred, broken bones, carrying a strong stench of blood, rushed forward without stopping, passing directly over the goblin soldiers; only their voices could be heard from afar.

"As long as we escape back to the Black Iron Tribe, we still have hope! I will promote you!"

Upon hearing this, the goblin soldiers halted their rout, their eyes lighting up.

Yes!

As long as the general is alive, they will be promoted upon returning to the Black Iron Tribe.

Having figured this out, the goblin soldiers immediately turned around and followed in Bonebreaker's footsteps.

In order to run faster, the goblins abandoned their shields and breastplates, keeping only spears and other weapons for self-defense.

Taking advantage of their light equipment, this fleeing remnant army gradually widened the distance between themselves and the Dragonblood Warriors behind them.

Although Broken Bones was still wearing full armor, he was a second-tier transcendent with extremely strong physical abilities.

Even when injured, its speed remains extremely fast.

In the rear, among the Dragonblood Warrior squad, "Did you beat the dust today?" and "Bricklaying Expert" ran the fastest.

"Brother! Don't run away! We just want to borrow your head!"

"In the future, when our DaerMei company becomes successful, we will never forget you!"

The two shouted as they sped up, chasing after the enemy with all their might.

Their large and beautiful engineering company hasn't recruited a single new player yet.

They hoped to make a name for themselves in this battle, acquire more loot, and then hire—no, recruit—new players.

No matter how fast they sped up, even after losing their shields, and with all their might, they couldn't catch up with the disorganized goblin remnants ahead.

In the chase, Shattered Bones quickly led the remaining goblin soldiers to the exit of the narrow mountain path.

As he ran, glancing at the gradually widening mountain path ahead, Broken Bones cautiously slowed down.

Other goblin soldiers had been here before, so they had no suspicions and quickly moved forward, running out of the narrow mountain path.

"Whoo~"

Seeing that the goblin soldiers at the front were safe and sound, and that the surrounding forest was completely still, Broken Bones let out a long sigh, his lips curled up, and he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~"

"Why is the general laughing?"

A goblin squad leader following beside Broken Bones looked puzzled.

"I laugh at that kobold commander's lack of intelligence!"

Sui Gu looked relaxed as he slowly walked forward, pointing to the exit of the mountain path.

"Not far from here, there are several small paths that will allow us to escape."

"And here, the terrain is narrow, and it's the only exit. If I were that kobold commander, I would definitely have laid an ambush here. At that time, we would all be doomed..."

The word "death" had barely been uttered by Shattered Bones when a commotion came from ahead.

Click!

The goblin soldier at the very front seemed to have stepped on something, and his expression changed drastically.

The goblins didn't know what it was, but the players did—it was a flint-activated landmine.

And it's not loosening the hair, it's pressing it down.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, intense flames erupted, engulfing the goblin soldier.

At the same time, the blasting metal fragments took away several goblin soldiers behind him.

Some goblin soldiers fled in panic, triggering other landmines in the process.
