Chapter 159: Find the Goblin Settlement
CH159 Find the Goblin Settlement
***
Moments later, Lieutenant Cross, Laura, and a handful of sub-unit Captains arrived behind him. Even though Udara was hidden just a few feet away, the Peak Intermediate Lieutenant couldn’t sense her presence at all.
If not for the current grave situation, Alex might have marvelled at the terrifying stealth abilities of a Peak Intermediate Shadow Dancer.
But now was not the time.
"Goblin?!" Lieutenant Cross’s eyes widened.
Alex stood up from examining the goblin corpses and the faint trail they had left behind. He met the Lieutenant’s gaze and gave a short nod.
"Lieutenant, reach out to Fury High Command. Inform them we’ve neutralised the primary cause of the forest’s upheaval—the Armoured Troll. From here on, we’ll push deeper into the forest to clear any goblin presence. We continue on our assigned path until we reach the northern exit."
"Understood, Commander." The Lieutenant gave a crisp nod.
He stepped away immediately, heading towards the secured rear to use the Fury Army’s special long-range communication method.
The gathered sub-unit Captains exchanged glances, their unease barely veiled.
"Why are we only advancing along our assigned route? Why not request reinforcements to sweep the whole forest?" one of the Shield Captains asked under his breath.
