Chapter 380: Hobgoblin

As time went by, the distance between the group that was approaching and the territory continuously reduced. And finally, Henry and the others were capable of figuring out the appearance of the other party.

Just like Henry had expected, it was a group of goblins. Their green skin stood out under the illumination of the light from the territory walls. The ugly appearances that they possessed, together with the pointy ears like those of elves also easily distinguished them from members of the other races.

Each goblin that was coming over was only putting on a piece of cloth in their crotch area. As for the other parts of their bodies, they were completely naked regardless of the gender.

In their hands they were carrying several barbaric weapons. Maces, swords, spears, bows and arrows, with the majority of them being made out of bones. According to the guesses that Henry made, those bones were from monsters.

As the goblins approached, the killing intent that they were giving out continuously increased. The killing intent that they were giving out was actually above that of the zombies!

Henry could not help but raise his brows a little when he realized that. He had not expected that there was actually another race that was capable of giving killing intent that was way higher than that of the zombies.

Nevertheless, since this was the first time that he was going to interact with the goblins, perhaps he was going to broaden his horizons.

Henry continued observing. Continuously, a prompt appeared in front of his vision, giving him the information about the goblins that were approaching. Of course, he was completely attracted by what the goblins in the middle of the group were carrying.

There was a carriage that the goblins were carrying. The size of the carriage completely contrasted with the small sizes of the goblins that was about 1.5 meters tall and extremely skinny body statures.

As the group of goblins drew closer, Henry detected that there was a stronger existence that was present within that carriage that was being carried over instead of being pulled.

Nobody could see what was contained within that carriage considering that all the sides were completely enclosed, and Henry could not see anything from the direction that he was in.

On closer inspection, Henry could see that the eyes of the goblins were filled with killing lust. It was as if they were thirsting for killing.

That was especially so the moment that they saw that there was a group of humans that was on top of the wall. The madness within the eyes of the goblins increased drastically, and it seemed that had it not been for the fact that they were being prevented from charging forward, they would have already come forward to attack Henry and others.

It was also at this time that Henry finally understood why it was that the goblins possessed a higher killing intent as compared to the zombies. It was because of this madness and thirst for battle that they possessed such killing intent.

After there was only about 100 m of distance between the wall and the group of goblins, they finally stopped. Then, the carriage that they had been carrying all this while was brought forward from the center.

After it was placed on the ground, the curtains of the carriage were drawn, and a muscular figure stepped out of it. This figure was completely contrasting to the goblins around it.

Henry’s eyes squinted as he looked at this figure. This figure possessed features of the goblins, with just a difference of the fact that this goblin was putting on clothes, only on his lower parts of the body, though he was completely bare-chested.

Additionally, his figure was full of muscles, completely contrasting to the skinny figures of the goblins. Additionally, the height was about 2 m, which was way above that of the normal goblins.

Without hesitation, Henry focused on the figure, and finally, information appeared in front of his eyes.

[Hobgoblin Hurgh

Race: Goblin

Power level: Level 4 diamond rank

Affinity: Earth element

Skills: earth wall, earth spear, earth shield, earth armor, bloodline sacrifice. ]

Henry was completely surprised after reading the information about this goblin. It turned out that this goblin was not a normal one, but a hobgoblin instead.

It was not strange to him anymore that members of the other races also possessed elements. The only strange thing to him was for the zombies to possess elements. As for the members of the other races, just like the dark race, they possessed the dark element affinity.

But what attracted Henry’s attention the most was the fact that this hobgoblin was actually at level 4 of the diamond rank.

He had not thought that there was actually something like this that was going to happen. They were already trying to think of where they were going to get those level 3 diamond rank mutation crystals, when suddenly, a level 4 diamond rank apocalyptic creature delivered itself to their door.

At this moment, Adam’s breathing suddenly became erratic. At this point, he was just preventing himself from going ahead and attacking that goblin. He understood that he required mutation crystals for his sister to be saved. And the goblin in front of him was definitely the method for his sister to be healed.

Henry did not say anything and continuously stared at the hobgoblin. He was not sure if the reason why the goblins were here was for a fight or not. After all, just observing the group of goblins here, it was clear that they were going to be at a great disadvantage against this territory due to their numbers.

According to Henry’s estimation, there was only about 300 or so goblins that had come over. Compared to the thousands of humans that were present within the territory, this was definitely a low number.

Even though it was true that all the goblins that had come over were either in the silver rank or above, but nevertheless, there was also a large number of humans that were already in the silver rank and the gold rank.

But looking at the giant goblin, Henry suddenly understood the reason why the goblins possessed the confidence of coming over if they came over for a fight. With a level 4 diamond rank leader among them, it was definitely not difficult for them to be able to take over a territory like this one, where there was not even a single person within the diamond rank.

Hurgh looked at the humans who were looking back at him from the top of the wall and frowned. He was completely displeased by the fact that the humans were looking down on him from a high ground.

Nevertheless, he did not say anything and approached the wall. As he approached, he looked at the humans on top of the wall, trying to see which one of them was going to be considered as the leader.

But then again, he was completely attracted to three figures on top of the wall. It was those three figures that he could not see through at all.

Just like the human race that possessed an advantage of seeing the information about the members of the other races, the members of the other races also possessed their own respective methods that they utilize in order to be able to get information about humans and other members of the other races as well.

Hurgh could not help but frown the moment that he realized that he could not get any information about these three people.

Additionally, there was another thing that confused him. There was no change of expression on the three people that were looking at him. As for the others, all of them looked completely frightened, which was something that he was already expecting.

He had not tried to hide his information using any item. For that reason, he believed that humans would definitely be capable of seeing his information. Since that was the case, why was it that even after seeing his information, these three people were not surprised?

In fact, on closer inspection, there was even one of them that was eyeing him greedily. Or could it be that he was just hallucinating about how that young man was looking at him, as if he was going to devour him in the next moment?

Deciding to ignore that matter, Hurgh cleared his throat and said, "I’m here with only a single reason. We are here because we want food. The stock that we possessed has already diminished by a great margin."

Hurgh’s voice was extremely thick, and rough. For some reason, it gave a vibe that it did not belong to a human, which was actually true.

Without waiting for the humans to say anything, he continued, "The fourth stage of the apocalypse will be here soon. So, we have to stock up much more food considering that our numbers will be rising soon. At that time, there is no way that my soldiers are going to battle on a hungry stomach."

"So just like the deal that we made before, I’m here specifically for a few people. But of course, the leader of this territory has to be included among the food that I’m going to take back with me to my territory. As for the rest, you can continue living, continue breeding so that my race will no longer lack enough food for them to eat."

Hurgh said all of these words as if he was talking about something ordinary, and not about eating the humans that he was talking to.

Henry was just about to say something when suddenly, Adam who was standing beside him suddenly erupted.

"The f*ck! I never thought that I was going to meet another crazy member of another race!" Adam exclaimed as his eyes tinged with anger as he gazed at the goblin that was below the wall.
