Card simulation, starting with the Goblin Deserter

Hayes stood in the center of the goblin line, calmly looking at Kaka, who had turned to glare at him, and repeated in a slow and deliberate tone.

"Enemy attack, be on alert."

Kaka immediately grabbed a wooden stick and rushed up to Hayes, looking down at him.

"New recruit, do you know that lying about military intelligence can land you in a military court?"

Hayes was amused. These goblins (including himself) who only knew how to run away when they encountered enemies actually had a military court?

He looked up, about to say something, when a faint sound suddenly came from the grass not far away—the sound of a dead branch being trampled by a creature.

Kaka's expression changed drastically. He turned around and saw seven or eight gray wolves attacking from the dense forest, baring their teeth and looking ferocious!

"Enemy attack! Be on guard!" Kaka roared at the top of his lungs, and ran alone toward the wolf pack, much to Hayes's surprise.

Hayes had been fighting the pack of gray wolves for three whole days, and he was tired of the environment of this "checkpoint".

He walked to the left end of the line, carrying a wooden stick, and said calmly, "Now I will take command of this team."

"Anyone have a problem with that?"

The dozen or so goblins looked at each other in confusion. After two seconds, a slightly taller goblin stepped forward.

"Why...?"

boom!

Before it could finish speaking, Hayes rushed forward and smashed its head in.

A murky green mist surged upwards, causing the nearest goblins to shriek. But when Hayes' friendly gaze swept over them, they wisely fell silent.

"It seems everyone trusts my abilities." Hayes nodded in satisfaction and immediately began directing the formation.

"You, you, and you, come stand next to me! All other goblins, hold off the enemies on the right!"

As soon as Hayes finished speaking, several wolf howls rang out from the left and right sides respectively.

Startled, the goblins instinctively followed Hayes's instructions, and just as they formed their battle formation, the gray wolves on both flanks charged out!

The timing was perfect.

Hayes nodded to himself, wielding the giant club as if it were an extension of his arm. After only two rounds of probing, he found a weakness in a gray wolf.

A blow landed squarely on the face, and the gray wolf howled in pain before collapsing in resentment!

"Smack these wolf cubs in the face! Their noses are their Achilles' heel!"

While effortlessly parrying the attack of the second gray wolf, Hayes even had the energy to warn the other goblins.

There was no way around it; he'd practically memorized this whole thing.

Whether it's the timing of reminding Kaka, the way of organizing the team, or even Hayes calling over the goblins beside him, everything is done with care!

Sure enough, Hayes immediately noticed that the goblin closest to him quietly retreated, throwing away its wooden stick and already preparing to flee...

Sorry, I've read it!

Hayes turned and instantly appeared in front of the goblin. Seeing the cowardly creature about to call for "Mom," he slapped it hard, leaving the goblin stunned!

"Pick it up." Hayes looked at him calmly.

"I told you to pick up the stick!"

Snapped!

Another slap in the face!

The goblin, in pain and with tears in its eyes, bravely charged towards the gray wolf, encouraged by Hayes.

At this point, Hayes has eliminated all the factors that could have led to failure in this level!

This skirmish ended quickly in a one-sided fashion.

The dozen or so gray wolves died with their eyes wide open, never expecting that these cowardly goblins would suddenly unleash such formidable strength.

After the battle, Hayes ordered the goblins to rest on the spot, while he sat in the shade, silently waiting for Kaka to return.

About twenty minutes passed, but there was still no sign of Kaka.

"Hmm?" Hayes frowned and stood up.

He actually had a way to defeat the wolf pack early yesterday morning, but Hayes didn't get through it for a long time because he wanted to "gain experience".

He knew that Kaka above would chase the wolf pack deep into the jungle, but almost half an hour had passed and they still hadn't returned.

Have we encountered danger?

Hayes tilted his head and pondered for a moment. When he looked back, he saw a dozen goblins staring at him expectantly, clearly regarding him as their new "commander"...

What's going on here?

Hayes decided to go out and look for Kaka, at least to find out why she wasn't coming back.

"All recruits, wait where you are."

Following the direction Kaka had left, Hayes walked alone into the depths of the jungle.

He thought Kaka had run a long distance, but after only a mile or two, Hayes heard a familiar voice.

It should be "kaka," but why is it making "woof woof" noises?

Hayes peered cautiously out through a thicket of trees—

A burly goblin was sitting on the ground, crying like an eight-year-old child.

Hayes: ? ?

Who the hell is this? That blind goblin killer?

Why is he crying?

With this question in mind, Hayes slowly moved toward Kaka's direction.

But before he could get close, he heard a loud, angry roar that sounded like a sob.

"You eavesdropping mosquito, get out here!"

Not only that, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and charged straight at Hayes, who was hiding in the jungle, like a truck!

Seeing this, Hayes quickly stepped out of the jungle and raised his hands: "Sir, don't worry, it's me..."

But before he could finish speaking, the enormous wooden stick appeared before him.

At this moment, the combined effects of "anticipating the enemy's moves" and the enhanced reflexes from the "Dragon Pill" were reminding Hayes—

Dodge this blow, or you'll die!

He barely managed to crouch down, narrowly avoiding the attack; it felt like a layer of skin on his scalp had been shaved off...

"Huh? It's you." Kaka was taken aback, then immediately released the wooden stick, picked Hayes up from the ground, and burst into tears.

"All the other goblins are dead, only you survived..."

"I'm an incompetent commander!!"

Hayes, who had enough reaction time but not enough speed, was grabbed and hugged by Kaka.

The squeezing sensation, like a press, made Hayes, who had just escaped death, feel suffocated again.

Is this giant a goblin or a titan? Its combat power is ridiculously high!

Hayes' face turned red as he stammered, "Sir, please release me..."

"Everyone is fine, except for two goblins who died..."

Upon hearing this, Kaka's grip on Hayes tightened, and he shook his head as if to say, "I won't listen."

"You're lying! No one in my goblin squad has ever survived!"

Hayes was so tightly strangled that his eyes rolled back in his head!

He was on the verge of tears. With you leading the team like this, which goblin could possibly survive?!

If it weren't for the Dragon Pill strengthening his bones, Hayes suspected his spine would have been snapped in two!

"Really, really... Sir, please let go of me!"

"Everyone's alive, right where we were just now. If you don't believe me, come with me to see!"
