Chapter 20: The Saint Looks Cute After the Collapse

[Kill level 15 and level 14 adventurers in the cave. ]

【Gain energy 100. 】

[Skill (Goblin's Greedy Nature) activated, energy gained doubled! ]

Gu An was in the planting cave, sitting on a stone chair that had just been carved by the miner goblin. The other goblins lined up on both sides, with the lord's noble aura at its fullest.

The battle outside was over, and the Ice Goblin quickly returned to the cave, followed by a dazed Tiya.

[My Lord, both humans have been eliminated.]

[A red light flew out from the corpse. I don't know what it was, but it was so fast that I couldn't stop it.]

The Ice Goblin stood in the middle, reporting the battle situation to Gu An, his eyes full of fanaticism and admiration.

The ambush and attack arranged by the lord were perfectly timed and executed at the right time in the dangerous situation. It was as if he was there in person giving precise command.

Such ingenious intelligence truly surpasses that of all goblins. It is a great fortune and honor to be able to serve such a lord!

Listening to the Ice Goblin's report, Gu An sat on the stone chair, with his hands crossed under his nose and his legs naturally apart, supporting his body at just the right angle. This seemingly casual look gave people a sense of confidence that he could control everything.

[That red light is a prop called (The Sayings of the Dead), which can automatically transmit the scene seen within one minute before death. ]

Gu An was always monitoring the battle situation, so he naturally knew this detail. He was familiar with various props, so he figured out what was going on at the first opportunity.

[Quotes of the Dead] By now, the information about the Ice Goblin should have been passed back to the Adventurer's Guild in the small town.

Another group of adventurers died, and part of the Ice Goblins' strength was exposed. The Adventurer's Association would definitely be furious and quickly make a decision to counterattack.

The next humans to attack the nest will probably be the Silver Squad.

However, with three level 20 mutant goblins here, even the Silver Squad can't cause any waves.

At this moment, he was more concerned about Tia's condition and whether the expected effect had been achieved.

Waving his hand, signaling the Ice Goblin to step aside, he saw that Tiya's eyes were dull and her expression was numb, like a walking corpse, lifeless, like a rag doll that could be trampled on at will.

The effect seems to be quite good.

The collapsed and numb saint looked much more obedient.

"Ms. Tia, Saint Lady?"

"Haven't you been hoping that adventurers would come to rescue you? Were you satisfied with the conversation after meeting? Do you feel good about being abandoned by humans?"

Gu An's every question was like a steel knife, stabbing into Tia's already broken and scarred heart, beating on her soul that was already on the brink of collapse.

Tia was shrouded in a haze of despair. Her breathing was shallow and rapid, as if each breath was accompanied by a painful twitch. Her face, as pale as paper, seemed to have been drained of all the blood. Her lips were tightly pursed and trembling slightly. Facing every question, she had no words to refute.

She lowered her head, her shoulders slumped, and her tall and straight body looked listless.

All the scars were forcefully revealed in front of the group of goblins. Despair and helplessness pushed Tia, who was already on the brink of collapse, completely into the abyss.

She covered her eyes with her arms and ran out like crazy, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, oozing out traces of blood.

The pretty face was distorted due to excessive sadness, and water rolled down like pearls from a broken string, meandering along the cheeks, soaking the collar, and falling to the ground.

She ran into the stone hall and hid in a dark corner, unable to control herself and crying almost hysterically, her sad voice echoing in the cave.

[Humph, this stupid woman! She betrayed the Lord, this is what she deserves! ]

[Right, right, right! He was so arrogant every day, arguing with the lord, but in the end, he was still abandoned by humans, right? ]

[She has become the Lord's servant, and she still thinks she is a saint, harboring a rebellious heart, but she doesn't know that she has already been seen through by the wise and powerful Lord! ]

Several junior goblins and lustful goblins felt relieved when they saw Tiya's miserable state, and then held a small meeting to discuss and express their emotions. Only the ice goblin was a little worried about Tiya's condition, and came to Gu An's side and quietly advised:

[Lord, don't you need to keep an eye on her? She's your servant after all. If she dies because of depression...]

Although the Ice Goblin was also dissatisfied with Tiya's usual style of looking for trouble, she was still the lord's servant. If she died accidentally, it would go against the lord's original intention, right?

However, Gu An saw things much more clearly than it did.

【Don't worry about her.】

[Although this woman has been claiming that she is not afraid of death since she was captured, and even actively seeks death. ]

[However, that was just a moment of stubbornness and a weak provocation out of fear of torture. After truly experiencing the moment of life and death, she was more afraid of death than anyone else.]

Just like people who are about to commit suicide will feel regret, living a miserable life is everyone's instinct and uncontrollable brain consciousness. Tia obviously does not have the power to overcome all of this now.

So Gu An was not worried at all that she would commit suicide.

According to his speculation, after experiencing this blow and collapsing in despair, Tia should fall into temporary confusion, and then approach the brink of depravity. She should be only one step away from becoming a completely qualified being.

Just one more opportunity, one chance to explode, and she would crawl at his feet, becoming a begging XX saint.

That day won't be too far away.

From conquering the body to completely controlling the mind, more postures and ways of playing will be unlocked soon. An's face showed an expectant smile.

The Evil Fire Goblin frowned at this moment, and clapped his flaming hands together vigorously, as if he had suddenly realized something, and suddenly spoke loudly:

[The Lord deliberately let Tia come into contact with humans! ]

【So that’s how it is! 】

[Lord, your opinion is great! ]

All the goblins were stunned by this sudden shout.

Even Gu An, who was always calm and composed, showed a very surprised expression at this moment, and was completely stunned.

The Lustful Goblin walked up to the Hellfire Goblin and kicked it hard on the butt.

【you idiot!】

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, the mighty and powerful Fire Goblin now looked very aggrieved.

Gu An held his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.

I didn't expect that although the Hellfire Goblin is powerful, its IQ is not as good as that of the Primary Goblin.

[Okay, let’s leave it at that. You guys can start working now.]

[Gather the fruits, sow new seeds, water the fields, and then go out to collect more wood. ]

[Starting tomorrow, we will start a more intense war with humans. ]

Starting an all-out war with the humans in the town will be a protracted tug-of-war.

Although that group of humans did not have many top-level combat forces, they had the advantage in numbers and various props. Even if they could not break into the nest, it would not be difficult for them to defend outside the cave.

Faced with a large number of adventurers and various props, taking the initiative can also be dangerous. You should take advantage of your free time now to collect more wood in advance to prevent resource shortages later.

For the upcoming war, Gu An began his own careful planning...
