Chapter 116 Evacuation

Chapter 116 Evacuation
Lysabelle drew her bow, and the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. They were ready to ambush the pursuers behind them.

Those grassroots Crusaders did not seem to report the situation. The recent waves of pursuers were all clergy and Crusaders stationed in nearby villages and towns. The powerful men stationed in the city and the cathedral did not appear.

"get ready."

A light breeze blew through the treetops, bringing news to Lysabel.

"The team in the distance has more than a hundred people."

Lisabel quietly reminded everyone around her that this seemed to be a gathering of mobile crusaders from several surrounding villages and towns.

Even if their strength is relatively weak, this number of people is not something that a few people like Lisabel can contend with.

"The third option is to attack their horses first."

There were almost no rangers or rogues among the Sun Cult's crusaders, and without their horses, they could not catch up with Lysabel at all.

"three two……"

Even through the obstruction of the trees, Lysabel could see the torches tied to the side of the carriage.

The breeze wrapped around Lysabel's bow, and with the blessing of these breezes, even ordinary arrows could pierce the fine iron breastplates of the Skitarii. But just as she was about to release her fingers to release the arrow, she saw green skin through the gaps in the leaves.

"green?"

Lisabel stopped her movements abruptly, but her two companions were not as sharp as she was. A fireball flew out of the forest and headed towards the convoy not far away.

The bells rang, and the convoy began to move, quickly forming a defensive formation. The swaying fireball seemed to hit a barrier and exploded.

"Ceasefire, ceasefire."

Lisabel called her companions and walked out of the forest.

The goblins looked at them warily without putting down their weapons. Only a goblin caravan leader, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, came out, escorted by two huge mutant goblins.

"This is the Brom Caravan of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce. Why are you attacking us?"

Lysabel was a little nervous. Just a few days ago, she was still fighting the goblins. Now she was not sure what attitude the goblins would take towards them. But there was one thing Lysabel could be sure of. The goblins did not have a good attitude towards the Sun God Cult. The situation between them was tense.

"How come the followers of the Deism are here?"

The leader of the goblin caravan recognized the emblem on Lysabel's chest. He looked a little nervous. After all, not long ago, the goblin mercenaries were fighting with the soldiers of the Windwhispering Kingdom who believed in the god of nature.

As far as he knew, the trigger for this conflict was the attack by the border troops of the Windwhisper Kingdom on a goblin caravan transporting goods to the Kingdom of Valandi.

The leader of the goblin caravan looked towards the woods on the side of the road. He only saw two people hiding in the woods. One of them was wearing a wizard robe, and it seemed that the fireball spell just now was his masterpiece.

But the other party is from the Natural Theocracy. God knows how many of them are hiding in this small woods. Dozens of rangers might appear on the treetops in the next moment.

"We have no ill intentions. We just mistook you for the Sun God Cult's Guardians."

The goblins' faces relaxed a little.

"You are the ones who turned those Skitarii upside down?"

It seemed that they also saw those battered Crusaders along the way, and it seemed that the goblins were gloating over this.

Lysabelle nodded, and she saw the goblins lower their weapons.

"We just want to get out of here now and hopefully get a ride."

The goblin in front of him looked embarrassed.

"We are still at war with the Wind Whisper Kingdom." "The Wind Whisper Kingdom no longer exists. The war is over."

Lysabel remembered the habits of these goblins.

"The goblins are greedy for money. As long as the benefits are enough, they can sell their lives to you."

Lysabelle removed the holy symbol from her chest.

"Send us to the forest of elves, and you will be sufficiently rewarded. This holy emblem can be used as collateral."

The leader of the goblin caravan could see the value of this holy emblem, which was a holy emblem only possessed by a priest favored by the god of nature. Unlike ordinary holy emblems, it had an additional leaf-shaped decoration on it.

Even if Lysabel couldn't pay, other followers of the God of Nature would pay a high price to buy back the holy emblem. The goblins didn't have to worry about getting nothing on this trip.

"How many of you are there?"

The value represented by the holy emblem is indeed very attractive, but there is also a considerable risk in taking the people of the Wind Whisper Kingdom out, and as the number of people increases, this risk will increase exponentially.

"Add me, three of us."

The goblin's brows relaxed. It was too easy to hide three people in the convoy.

"Take off the holy emblem first, and go to the carriage to change your clothes. From now on, you are the second-level employees of the caravan, responsible for security. Do you understand?"

There are also many human employees in this goblin caravan. The remuneration is very good. Many descendants of ruined nobles and bankrupt merchants in the surrounding human kingdoms will join the goblin caravan. After all, there is real money to be made here.

The carriage started moving again, and soon a team of crusader soldiers caught up from behind the caravan.

"Stop, temporary inspection."

With their weapons drawn, they stopped the goblin caravan with a bad attitude. If the goblin caravan wasn't so large in number and looked quite strong, their attitude would have been even worse.

"Customs documents, merchandise list and personnel list."

The commander of the Crusaders rode his horse to the side of the goblin leader. He had no intention of getting off the horse, so the goblin had to tiptoe to hand the document to him.

There was certainly nothing wrong with these documents. When Lysabel joined the caravan, the goblins made a new personnel list, complete with cross-seam seals and anti-counterfeiting marks, and it was slightly aged. Unless it was taken to the church headquarters, no one would be able to tell that this personnel list was just made.

It was obvious that this was not the first time these goblins had done something like this.

"We need to inspect the cargo."

"These are all supplies ordered by your parish and sent to surrounding villages. According to the agreement, if they are damaged during your inspection, we will not compensate you."

The Crusaders opened the doors of several carriages, and the items inside were indeed printed with the symbols of the Sun God Cult, and they matched the types on the merchandise list.

"According to the division of responsibilities in our compensation and replacement agreement, only if there is damage during transportation or quality problems during use..."

The commander of the Crusaders was annoyed by the noisy behavior of the leader of the goblin caravan and wanted to kill him with a sword, but not long ago, the church issued the "Book of Mercy", calling on them to look at alien races dialectically.

If a real fight breaks out, the church leaders will definitely be very angry.

"If we endure for a while, the top brass will realize that these aliens cannot be trusted. Then, we can take the official order and slaughter them."

The commander of the Crusaders clenched his fists and decided to let these goblins go today.

"Let go."

The carriage started moving again, slowly heading forward. After supplying the last few village churches, they would drive towards the forest of the elves.
