As the Miracle City mercenaries cleared out the outer sentry patrols, bypassed the fortifications, and infiltrated the mining camp, the Dark Goblins finally became alert. The alarm was quickly sounded.
"Exposed?"
"It's too late!"
"We successfully broke in!"
"Hmph, good, I don't like sneaking around. Let's all go together and take down these Dark Kind!"
"Charge!"
The Miracle City mercenaries took advantage of the Goblins' delayed reaction, launching a sudden attack and swiftly beating five Goblin Warriors to death with clubs.
"#!%￥%..." The Goblin Warriors let out strange cries in their incomprehensible language and used multiple rapid-fire crossbows to intercept the Adventurers.
A barrage of shots hit many Miracle City mercenaries, but not a single one fell. The Anti-riot Zombies' armor was robust enough to negate most of the damage. Even if crossbow bolts penetrated the armor, the damage was minimal, and with the Zombies' strong vitality, they posed no threat in the short term.
"Dare to shoot at us?"
"You'll pay for that!"
The Adventurers swarmed forward and launched a fierce attack. The Goblin Warriors, caught off guard, were defeated, losing their armor and suffering heavy losses.
In less than five minutes, most of them were wiped out.
Another burst of noise sounded, and the Adventurers spotted dozens of Goblins carrying pickaxes and poorly equipped, rushing over. They seemed to be the miners responsible for extracting resources from the mine.
"Be careful!"
"Although they look weak, there are quite a few Goblin miners!"
"What are you afraid of? Charge! All Dark Kind must fall!"
The Adventurers had just killed over a dozen main Goblin Warriors. At this moment, their morale was soaring, and their fighting spirit was extremely high. How could they fear these mobs? They charged forward!
Both sides engaged in close combat. Although the number of Miracle City mercenaries was only slightly more than half of the Goblin miners, they completely suppressed these weak miners in terms of momentum.
If this trend continued, the Goblins would surely be defeated!
At this moment, another Goblin, 1.7 meters tall, with bulging muscles and wielding a mace, charged out. The average height of adult Goblins does not exceed 1.4 meters. With this one's physique, he is definitely the Schwarzenegger of the Goblin world.
"Not good!" Lonely Swordsman recognized his origin. "There is a Goblin Hero, don't confront him head-on!"
The Goblin Hero roared and rushed into the crowd, swinging his mace with fierce determination, ready to smash the heads of the invaders!
However, before he could land a blow on a Miracle City Zombie, a huge rock fell from the sky, aiming for him.
The Goblin Hero was shocked but smashed the giant rock with one blow. At this moment, a huge figure violently crashed open the camp gate, rushing into the battlefield like a chariot, knocking away all the Goblins in its path.
The Tank Zombie had arrived!
This sight made all the Adventurers feel at ease. The Tank Zombie's roar was deafening, its momentum already suppressing the Goblin Hero. A pair of large fists, comparable to pumpkin hammers, smashed down.
The Goblin Hero raised his mace to block, but as the violent force descended, his legs sank directly into the ground. Blue veins bulged under his gray skin, and his bulging muscles twisted like steel wires.
"Roar, roar, roar!" The Tank Zombie hammered wildly with critical hits, as if driving a nail. Although the Goblin Hero endured it, dark green blood spewed from his mouth and nose.
It was clear that the Goblin Hero was struggling!
Before he could counterattack, the Tank violently grabbed the Goblin Hero and threw him like a cannonball, instantly collapsing a Goblin stone house.
"Continue!" Jack commanded from behind the scenes. The Tank Zombie's frenzy did not diminish. He roared and charged up again, continuing to battle the Goblin Hero.
"Too fierce!" The Adventurers watched in astonishment. What a heavyweight and intense duel!
The Goblin Hero was not an ordinary individual. He had at least the strength of a four-star monster. His mace could crack stones and shatter the heads of ordinary people, not much harder than exploding a watermelon.
Even the Tank Zombie would be injured by a blow. However, the Tank Zombie was more dominant, relying on his greater strength, sturdy muscle armor, tenacious vitality, and the most primitive and violent combat desire, gaining the upper hand from the start.
The Tank Zombie is also a Zombie! Its blood and claws are highly toxic, adding negative buffs to the enemy during combat.
After a fierce struggle, the Tank Zombie tore the Goblin Hero to pieces on the spot, winning the battle at the cost of minor injuries.
"Beautiful!"
"As expected of a five-star monster boss!"
"The Tank Zombie's strength and defense are top-notch even among five-star monsters. I think it's not inferior to some elite monsters!"
"We're going to win!"
When the strongest and most threatening Goblin Hero was torn to shreds, there were no more variables in this battle. After the Tank tore apart the Goblin Hero, although he suffered some injuries, it did not affect his ability to continue fighting, so he continued to rampage and sweep away the other Goblins.
With this humanoid weapon and the Adventurers' encirclement and interception, the Goblins were quickly wiped out.
In this battle, one Goblin Hero, thirty Goblin Warriors, and fifty-two Goblin miners were killed. Another glorious victory!
Miracle City lost ten Anti-riot Zombies, while rarer units like Hunters, Smokers, and Tanks were all fine.
Black Stone Hammer King: "We won again!"
Violent Little Chicken: "Fighting, awesome!"
Pig King: "Dark Kind are nothing special. I, Fatty, can still fight ten more!"
Sarah: "We took down two strongholds in two days. Betting on Miracle City was indeed the right choice."
All the Adventurers were proud. They didn't stay idle either, quickly scavenging for supplies. They first gathered over a hundred pieces of intact gray quality equipment from the corpses.
In addition, they found a large pile of fire copper ore, as well as living supplies including alcohol and meat stored in the camp, and finally found the Shelter God Stone.
**God Stone activated successfully!**
**You have successfully occupied "Red Rock Mountain Camp" and obtained "Chaos Treasure Chest (Gray)" ×1!**
Consumed 150 mental power! Jack refined the Red Rock Camp God Stone, activating another teleportation point for his territory and obtaining a Chaos Treasure Chest.
Open the chest directly!
**You opened the "Chaos Treasure Chest" (Gray), you obtained "soul crystal" +400, "Skill Secret Crystal: Lord Possession" +1!**
The soul crystal reward from Red Rock Camp was double that of Red Claw Village. Although they didn't get any blueprints this time, they obtained a Skill Secret Crystal.
A Secret Crystal is akin to a skill book in a game. It can grant the Lord specific skills, which enhance the Lord's combat power or overall ability, making it a very important resource.
**Skill Secret Crystal: Possession**, Tier 1 Lord skill, can be cultivated by consuming 200 mental power.
Not bad! Lord Possession is a relatively common Lord skill. Its effect is to allow the Lord's will to descend upon a certain monster in the territory.
For example, if Jack used Possession on the Tank, he could be in Miracle City but act through the Tank's body. He would be able to command troops on the front line and participate in battles, not only having a greater sense of experience and participation in combat but also being able to personally achieve some micro-operations that mental commands cannot complete.
It is a very practical item! It seems the harvest from today's battle is good!
