Leon chuckled to himself, his grin widening at the sight of the short green creatures laughing at him as if he were prey.
'Did they really think this little trick would work on me? I'm not that dumb. Their squad had fifteen hunters, the archer included. And the fact that the archer isn't here only confirms what I already know… their plan is too obvious.'
The goblins tightened their circle around him. Their aim was clear—to distract him in combat so he'd focus on them, while their hidden companions would spring out at the perfect moment for a killing blow.
But Leon had already seen through their ploy. He was more than eighty percent certain of it.
By his guess, at least two goblins were still lying in ambush. That was assuming there hadn't been additions to their numbers since their first encounter. Back then, he had counted fifteen. Thirteen were here now, leaving two unaccounted for. If reinforcements had joined them, then the hidden number could be even greater.
