Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Su Qing put down the binoculars and remained silent.

What he had just seen felt extremely jarring to him.

Inside what could barely be called a wall, several goblins surrounded a large cauldron, throwing in chopped, unidentified tubers and wild vegetables.

Firewood was burning at the bottom of the pot, and white smoke drifted out, just like the smoke we had seen from afar earlier.

Meanwhile, on the other side, several cubs were chasing another cub.

Because the cub was holding a toy that looked like a paper windmill, it accidentally fell to the ground and started crying loudly.

Instead of taking the opportunity to snatch the paper windmill, the other cubs helped it up and comforted the crying cub.

Su Qing also counted the number of goblins in the entire "camp" and found that, just as Lord Griffin had said, there were about three hundred.

However, most of them are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled.

There are only about fifty adult individuals in total, of which only about twenty are wearing equipment.

This is not some bullshit goblin camp at all.

This is a somewhat primitive goblin settlement.

Su Qing returned the binoculars to Selena, another question popping into her mind.

Based on the defensive strength of this settlement, even if Redstone City only brings the thirty guards in front of them, they don't need any external support to take this place.

After all, the two sides are not on the same level in terms of equipment or troop quality.

Moreover, Su Qing glanced at the guards who were poised to attack.

There was no fear or tension on the soldiers' faces in the face of danger.

On the contrary, their faces were filled with comfort and excitement.

Su Qing was about to ask the cavalry captain a few questions when the captain walked over first.

"Mr. Su Qing."

His tone was respectful.

"Our escort team will lead the next battle."

"You and your companions can rest in the back."

"I'll ask for your help again when I need it."

Su Qing stared at the smile on the cavalry captain's face, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded.

"it is good."

He didn't ask himself when he needed to make a move.

Because he suddenly realized that he might not necessarily take action, and even if he did, it might not be this group of goblins.

He had already sketched out the outline of the truth in his mind for this instance; now only the last piece of the puzzle was missing.

Su Qing led the crew of the Sunshine to a high slope on the side.

The view from here is excellent, overlooking the entire battlefield, while also being far from the guards.

Wang Yao stood behind Su Qing, holding a shield.

"Su-zai, something feels off about this campsite."

Su Qing hummed in agreement but did not speak.

Selena stood to the side, holding up her binoculars, and the same scene came into her view.

But she didn't speak; she knew the captain would make the right decision.

The bugle call to charge sounded.

The cavalry captain brandished his longsword, and the guards split into three groups, advancing steadily toward the camp.

The goblins also realized what was happening, and their chattering and howling filled the camp.

Soon, the adult goblins in their armor rushed out, wielding crude spears and scimitars they had somehow acquired, and launched a pointless charge.

They had just charged in front of the guards when they were knocked away by the shields of the front-line guards, followed by spear thrusts from the guards in the back.

But the guards' spears seemed to have missed their mark, failing to hit any vital organs, only piercing the goblin's body and causing him to fall to the ground.

One is like this, two are like this, and everyone is like this.

Standing on high ground watching the battle, Su Qing truly realized that this was not a cleanup war initiated on the grounds of city safety at all.

This was a hunt, a hunt to capture slaves for the "development" of Redstone City.

Several large goblins emerged from the middle tent, while a few goblin archers stood behind them, firing from a distance. This was quite unexpected.

However, it was all in vain against the well-equipped and well-trained guards.

The three separate squads quickly formed ranks and began their slaughter.

The guards pulled out ropes and looped them around the goblin's neck from different angles. They pulled him down with all their might, and then thrust their spears at him, turning the goblin into a swarm of thorns.

These guards killed the Big Goblin, which Su Qing guessed was because the Big Goblin was uncontrollable and had become a slave.

As for those archers?

Don't forget that the cavalry captain also has a squad of cavalry with him.

These goblin archers, who looked like they hadn't been trained much, were all wiped out in just one volley of cavalry charges.

Su Qing stood on high ground, her brows furrowed as she looked at the battlefield.

He was searching for the final piece of the puzzle.

Then he noticed the goblins who had been cooking, the cubs, and the other thin goblins.

They cried and screamed as they ran toward the huge tent in the center of the tribe.

Su Qing stared at the large tent.

That so-called special species might be the final piece of the puzzle, perhaps it's right there!

The fighting on the perimeter ended quickly.

The guards surrounded the central tent, but no one made a move; they just watched helplessly.

Behind them lay goblins lying haphazardly.

Almost none of the goblins died; they were all wounded and unable to get up.

Su Qing counted about forty goblins; the others were either dead or had escaped into the camp.

The battlefield fell silent.

The cavalry captain trotted up the hill, his body completely untouched by blood.

His face still wore that kind smile.

"Mr. Su Qing."

"The outer perimeter has been cleared, but inside the central tent..."

He paused for a moment.

"There's one more special goblin; I'll leave that to you."

"His fighting ability is extremely strong; only a powerful hero like yourself can defeat him."

The word "hero" was emphasized.

Su Qing did not answer immediately, her fingers stroking the musket at her waist.

These people aren't even acting anymore. Before, they said they just saw a goblin that looked special, but now they suddenly know it's very powerful?

But he did not refuse.

They did not agree.

He simply waved his hand, signaling the crew of the Sunshine behind him to follow.

Wang Yao walked in front of Su Qing, carrying a shield, while Selena walked behind Su Qing.

This is their battle formation.

The cavalry captain didn't hear Su Qing's reply, but seeing the three of them's imposing manner, he assumed Su Qing had agreed and eagerly followed behind.

Su Qing stood directly in front of the huge tent. All around was quiet. He was waiting, and so were the others.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the tent flaps.

Su Qing saw a tall figure with an exquisite longsword at his waist.

"Are we really going to wipe them all out?!"
