"There are too many people on the other side. Should we charge over?"
"What are you afraid of? Are we Adventurers afraid of anything?"
"That's right."
"What kind of Dungeon haven't we played? What's there to be afraid of? Are we afraid of a few Goblins? Let's just go for it."
"And it seems they are attacking someone else's village. There are armed forces in that village fighting back."
Wu Yue said excitedly, "Isn't that perfect? We'll attack from both inside and out."
With that, he grabbed his club and charged out.
Seeing Wu Yue charge out so recklessly, the other Adventurers had no choice but to follow.
The sudden appearance of 19 Adventurers clearly startled the Goblin forces, who shrieked and screeched a lot.
They seemed to be caught off guard for a moment.
The Adventurer squad instantly charged in and engaged the bewildered Goblins in combat.
These Goblins were short, and although they had green skin and bared their teeth, they were still too weak compared to Orcs.
Their common quality was only 【Normal ☆】, and it was hard to find anything weaker than them among Normal-grade units.
Therefore, these more than 30 Goblins instantly crumbled under the assault of 20 Adventurers.
After the Goblin Miscellaneous Soldiers were mostly cleared out, the Elite-quality Goblin Head was instantly besieged by the Adventurers.
Facing the excited Adventurers, although this Goblin Head's combat power was stronger, he couldn't withstand how cunning these Adventurers were.
They poked him here, poked him there.
They didn't give him a chance to face them head-on.
"Stab his butt, stab his butt."
"Yes, yes, yes, he turns very slowly, it's hard to defend his backside, use a wooden stick to stab him."
"Let me, let me, my stick is sharper, you guys distract him."
Under the combined effort of the Adventurers, the Goblin Head, despite his high combat power, was poked to death, stick by stick.
This Goblin Head couldn't understand until his death why there was such a dirty tactic in this world.
Inside the village.
The two warriors who had been desperately defending saw reinforcements arrive, and their expressions brightened, knowing the village was saved.
They grabbed their swords and charged out.
With the combined efforts of both sides, the Goblin forces quickly collapsed. Only a scattered two or three Goblins managed to escape, and even the Goblin Head died under Wu Yue's club.
Several Adventurers began searching the bodies.
They found a few more magic crystals, and from the Goblin Head's body, they even found an Elite-quality magic crystal.
"Oh, wow, we hit the jackpot."
"If Lord Chen sees this Elite-grade magic crystal, he'll definitely be beaming."
"He'll definitely have to reward us with some happy coins now, right?"
As a few people discussed.
The rescued village also sent two people to negotiate with them.
The people in this village looked somewhat like humans.
However, their ears were pointed.
"Elves?" Wu Yue said in surprise.
"Probably not. How could Elves be so weak? At the very least, they wouldn't be suppressed by some Goblins." Bai Feifei shook her head.
"They should be Half-elves, a hybrid of humans and Elves, a race abandoned by both sides."
Li Ruopu said, "Let's first hear what they have to say."
The two Half-elf representatives approached. One of them looked older, likely the elder or village chief here.
After they came closer, they said:
"Jili Gulu."
"Xili Hua La."
What they said left the Adventurers bewildered; they couldn't understand, simply couldn't understand.
It seemed to be a language barrier.
Li Ruopu scratched his head, "What should we do now?"
Bai Feifei thought for a moment and took out a recruitment order from her embrace.
In the Dark World, language might not be understood.
But the system's items must be recognized.
As expected.
The two Half-elves, upon seeing the recruitment order, immediately understood something.
After they exchanged a few words, they made a gesture, inviting the Adventurers to follow them inside.
Then they called out all the people in their village, signaling that the Adventurers could choose.
However, the two Half-elf warriors with combat ability were not among those to be chosen.
The Adventurers guessed that these must be the village's only fighting force, to be kept for defending the village.
As for the others, they were all elderly, weak, women, and children. Not only did they lack combat power, but they also consumed food. The Half-elf elder probably wished someone could support them.
"It doesn't matter anyway. Lord Chen doesn't mainly need combat power. He even specifically stated he wants beautiful young women."
"What do you think of these two?"
Men's eyes for choosing beautiful women are always surprisingly consistent, and they quickly found two thin, small Half-elf young women in the crowd.
They looked malnourished, but if they were properly dressed up, they would definitely be very beautiful.
To avoid scaring the two young women, Bai Feifei went over by herself and pointed to the recruitment order in her hand.
The two Half-elf young women were still a bit scared.
They hid behind their mothers.
However, after the Half-elf elder said a few words, the two young women hesitated for a moment and chose to accept the recruitment order.
【Congratulations, you have successfully recruited two residents: Half-elf (No level, No quality)】
Chen Yu, who was sitting outside the castle basking in the sun, suddenly saw this line of text appear on his system panel.
He knew that the Adventurers had succeeded and had actually recruited two Alien.
Seeing the words "Half-elf," Chen Yu was very satisfied. After all, they were going to show their faces in the Dungeon, so as long as they weren't some ugly monsters, it was fine.
Chen Yu sat quietly, waiting for the Adventurer squad to return.
About ten minutes later.
The Adventurer squad's figures appeared outside the castle's protective barrier.
Because they were worried about any accidents on the way, they first sent these two young women back.
The Adventurers also knew in their hearts that if they died, they could revive, but if the Half-elf young women died, they would be gone forever.
After sending the Half-elf young women back, the Adventurer squad left again; they wanted to continue searching the forest.
Upon entering the castle.
Chen Yu looked at the two Half-elf young women and nodded in satisfaction.
These two Half-elf young women were quite pretty, with a mixed-race beauty that made them perfect as NPCs in Happy Chess and Cards.
"What are your names?"
Because they had signed the recruitment order, the two Half-elf young women quickly learned Chen Yu's language.
"Replying to Lord, my name is Lina, and her name is Effie."
The two Half-elf young women were still a bit reserved.
However, when they realized that the Lord before them was not so difficult to get along with, they gradually relaxed.
Chen Yu looked at their scrawny appearance and knew that there was probably no surplus food in their village, leading to long-term malnutrition.
Chen Yu immediately exchanged two unusually rich meals from the system.
【Warning: The food you exchanged has exceeded the limit for a novice Lord. The excess portion needs to be purchased with soul crystal.】
"Buy, buy, buy, you stingy system."
Chen Yu complained.
With a wave of his hand, after consuming a little soul crystal, a full array of food instantly covered the ground.
"Eat, it's all yours," Chen Yu said.
Hearing this, Lina and Effie's eyes instantly widened, their blue eyes blinking as they looked at Chen Yu.
They seemed somewhat incredulous.
"Lord, is all this for us?"
Listening to Lina's still somewhat fearful tone, Chen Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
What a pitiful girl.
"Eat, it's all yours. Once you're in my castle, as long as you work hard, you'll have plenty to eat."
Upon hearing this, tears instantly welled up in Lina's eyes, and both of them quickly knelt down to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord."
The two of them had already signed a lifelong contract. From now on, they were people of the castle and could never betray him.
