"Odysseus, we met here, so let's part here as well!" Han Shuo smiled faintly at Odysseus and the others at the place where he'd met Odysseus and the others.
This place was close to where the Forest Troll lived, and Odysseus could guarantee a full recovery from his injuries after experiencing the Medusa's essence blood. Han Shuo's injuries had more or less healed after these days of recovery. It wasn't too dangerous to leave at this time, so Han Shuo brought up the suggestion of parting.
All good things must come to an end, and Odysseus and the others also knew that this place was relatively safer. Odysseus nodded helplessly after Han Shuo's suggestion and said, "Since this is the case, then let's part ways here. I hope we can meet again in the future."
The group bid farewell to Han Shuo and Trunks with some reluctance and finally gradually left this place after Han Shuo and Trunks waved their hands, heading towards the outskirts of the Dark Forest.
Trunks finally spoke up when Odysseus and the others had disappeared, "With your current condition, I don't think you need my protection anymore. It looks like it's time for me to leave!"
Seeing Trunks shake his head, Han Shuo smiled and said, "You can't leave yet."
"Why?"
"I'm quite angry at the harm the McGrady Guild has done to me. My anger won't die until that earth adept mage Leon has died in my hands. Heh heh, I've discovered that your manticore often disappears for a period of time recently. Have you already discovered traces of the McGrady Guild and are planning on slowly making a move against them? "
Trunks said with astonishment when these words were spoken, "It looks like there's something mysterious on you, as if nothing can be hidden from you. That's right, I'm planning on making a move against the McGrady Guild, but there's an archmage holding down the fort and many other helpers. I can only move stealthily and absolutely don't dare face them head on. You're still injured, so you won't be of much use if you really do fight. That's why I've excluded you. "
Looking deeply at Trunks, Han Shuo mused for a moment and then said, "I have a way to deal with the McGrady Guild. I also know they'll pass through here, and it'll be difficult for me to deal with the archmage. As long as you help me deal with the archmage, I'll take care of the rest."
"Are you crazy? The McGrady Guild uses earth dragons to travel, and there are more than a hundred attendants and guards of all sizes. There are sixty to seventy guards of all professions in this group. Do you think you can deal with so many people with your strength alone? "Trunks stared at Han Shuo and exclaimed in confusion.
Smiling faintly and enigmatically, Han Shuo said, "You don't need to worry about that. You'll know why I can deal with them when I show up. From now on, follow the McGrady Guild. You'll see them pay the price before long. "
After saying these words, Han Shuo didn't wait for Trunks to continue asking and left with a long laugh, walking in another direction, leaving behind a baffled Trunks.
When he arrived at the Forest Troll's holy land, Han Shuo summoned the Little Skull and had the Forest Troll guarding this place take out the hidden bamboo raft, bringing him down the river to where the Forest Troll lived.
The Little Skull's appearance immediately sent the silent Forest Troll tribe into a state of panic. The Forest Troll warrior who'd led Han Shuo here immediately sprinted inside when he arrived. Before long, an excited old priest scrambled and crawled in front of the Little Skull and knelt down, kowtowing loudly.
"The Great Goddess Dadara commands you to arm yourselves to the teeth and prepare. The Great Goddess Dadara plans to bring you to do a big business and rob a large human guild that's passing by." Han Shuo raised his head high and gave his orders arrogantly.
When they heard that they were going to rob, all the Forest Troll, whether old, women, or children, immediately became excited. They waved their weapons with one hand and waved the pockets they carried on their bodies with the other as they yelled loudly. It looked like the robbing nature of this race was something that no one could change.
"Thank you, Great Goddess Dadara, thank you, Great Goddess Dadara, for your guidance!" The old priest was beyond excited and immediately turned around to give orders to the strong troll leader who was running over from afar.
When the Forest Troll leader heard that they were going to rob, he raised a long spear and stood on a high place, mobilizing his men. All sorts of young and strong Forest Troll automatically lined up in long lines, separated by the troll warriors, hunters, and priests. Before long, five to six hundred Forest Troll were all ready to go.
Seeing that they were all ready, Han Shuo nodded and didn't say anything else. He gave an order to Little Skull. The high-spirited Little Skull stood on a high place like the Forest Troll leader, waving the bone knife in his hand high in the air.
Little Skull, who was wearing a pirate's eye patch, had the demeanor of a bandit at this moment. Under the old priest's yell, the palanquin that had transported Little Skull last time was brought out again and placed Little Skull inside. Han Shuo took out a black magic robe and wrapped it around his body and head, leading the way towards the path that the McGrady Guild would definitely take.
Because the Forest Troll's reputation was too bad, it would definitely bring him trouble if he were to be found out in the future. Therefore, after some consideration, Han Shuo decided to conceal himself as much as possible. The reason why he sent Odysseus and the others away was because Han Shuo knew that they were too kind and simple. Not only would their presence not be of any use, they might even affect him a little. Therefore, he had no choice but to let them leave first.
Han Shuo was very clear about the McGrady Guild's location with the original demons' constant observation. He brought five to six hundred Forest Troll to a Tanai mountain. Under Han Shuo's orders, the Forest Troll began to skillfully set up traps and obstruct their advance. After everything was in place, the oily green skinned Forest Troll stood in the thicket at the side and became one with the trees. It would be very difficult to find traces of them if one didn't look closely.
Trunks rode his manticore and followed far behind this group of people. Because there were archmages present, Trunks didn't dare make any rash movements and only followed according to Han Shuo's previous orders.
After half an hour, the group of people led by the enormous earth dragons gradually appeared. The earth dragons huffed and puffed as they moved forward, the goods on their bodies swaying continuously. Guards of all professions walked at the very front, their vigilant gazes patrolling all around. Han Shuo was quite familiar with two of them and recognized them as the ones who had attacked him in the swamp.
Apart from the two earth dragons, there were also a few enormous lizard camels in this wave of McGrady Guild people. A few richly dressed merchants were inside, surrounded by experienced guards. It was no wonder that even Trunks didn't dare act rashly.
When they walked into the mountain valley, the soles of the guards in front of them suddenly gave way and they fell into a trap. Rocks rolled down from the surrounding hills and completely blocked their path. Javelins and spears were thrown from both sides and nailed into the ground beneath these people's feet.
Loud cheers suddenly sounded from all directions. The excited Forest Troll took off the concealment on their bodies. Five to six hundred Forest Troll hurried over and surrounded the McGrady Guild people.
"Dadara, Dadara!"
At this moment, the Forest Troll discovered that this batch of prey was indeed very large. They all thought that this was indeed a gift from the great goddess Dadara and couldn't help but shout out. The old priest even knelt devoutly in front of Little Skull's palanquin and used an ancient incantation to express his gratitude.
"Damn it, it's the annoying Forest Troll!" All sorts of complaints suddenly sounded from the McGrady Guild people. When they saw that the newcomers were Forest Troll, and such a large number of Forest Troll at that, the McGrady Guild people felt a great headache coming on. Now that the front and back of the caravan were blocked, it didn't look like they could get out of this peacefully.
A beautiful, voluptuous woman wearing a gorgeous magic robe and holding a magic staff embedded with many gems slowly walked out from a palanquin at the back. The symbol of the magic staff on her body proved her identity as an archmage. The beautiful woman walked over with a smile and called out in a soft voice, "Hi, is there anyone I can talk to?"
"Emissary, do you want to talk to her?" The old priest, who was still kowtowing to Little Skull, couldn't help but turn to stare at Han Shuo, who was hidden in a corner of the palanquin and wrapped in a black magic robe, when he heard the beautiful woman's call.
"Go ask her what she wants?" Han Shuo nodded and said.
Under Han Shuo's orders, the old priest stood far away in front of the beautiful woman under the protection of the Forest Troll leader. The old priest opened his mouth to ask, "Ugly human girl, what do you have to say?"
The beautiful woman had been smiling merrily at first, but her face immediately darkened when she heard the old priest speak. However, it was only for a moment before her expression returned to normal and a smile once again hung on her face. She said, "We're from the McGrady Guild. I know that you Forest Troll are strong, so I want to negotiate with you. We're willing to pay ten thousand gold coins in the hope that we can leave this place safely. We have a lot of people on our side, so you'll definitely suffer losses if we fight. What do you think? "
"Ugly human girl, don't you know that the appetites of our race have always been large?" The old priest looked at the mature, flirtatious woman arrogantly and said in a stiff, cold voice.
From Han Shuo's perspective, this beautiful woman had a lithe figure and gorgeous features. She was full of the aura of a mature woman and held a strong attraction for normal human males. It was a pity that the old priest and the others were Forest Troll and that the aesthetic standards of humans were completely different from theirs. The beauty in Han Shuo's eyes became a synonym for ugliness in the old priest's eyes.
The beautiful woman took another deep breath and controlled herself under the repeated blows of "ugly human girl". However, her gaze was no longer as kind as before as she stared at the old priest and said, "Then, what do you want?"
The old priest puffed out his chest and was about to speak when he suddenly remembered Han Shuo's existence and said, "We need to discuss this."
The old priest quickly walked towards Han Shuo after saying these words. A few Forest Troll warriors blocked Han Shuo, so the people around them couldn't even see Han Shuo's existence. The old priest came to Han Shuo's side and looked at Han Shuo, "Emissary, what should we do?"
Frowning and looking into the distance, Han Shuo saw Leon appear at the back. The McGrady Guild specialized in smuggling and had some disputes with Phoebe's Guild of Boozt. Add to that the fact that these people's previous evil deeds had offended Han Shuo, and so Han Shuo only hesitated for a moment before saying coldly, "There's nothing to say. According to the rules of our race, rob them all. If anyone resists, kill them all."
When these words were spoken, the old priest said excitedly, "The emissary is wise, the emissary is wise!"
The old priest didn't say anything else and walked out from the encirclement of the Forest Troll warriors, nodding towards the Forest Troll leader in the distance.
The Forest Troll leader raised the long spear in his hand and gave a high pitched call. The Forest Troll warriors surged out from all directions, and after the priests cast magic from the back, they charged fearlessly towards the guards of the Guild.
"Damn it, these greedy Forest Troll, let's fight it out with them!" Angry shouts rang out from within the Guild.
The smile on that coquettish mature beauty's face had also disappeared at this moment. She chanted an incantation and waved the magic staff in her beautiful hand. A greyish brown ball of air flew out of the magic staff and formed the head of a demon in the air, entangling the forest troll warriors that were charging over first.
More than ten greyish brown balls of air continuously changed shape in the air and fell into the bodies of the Forest Troll warriors without any resistance. The troll warriors' rapid running speed suddenly slowed down, as if something strange was happening within their bodies. Sarcomas quickly appeared one after another, swelling and throbbing. They looked very frightening.
With a "pu", the sarcomas on the body of the first Forest Troll exploded, and dark black liquid seeped out from within. The liquid remained on their bodies and carried an incredibly strong corrosive effect, causing the Forest Troll to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves as their bodies gradually melted into liquid.
The other Forest Troll that was splashed by the liquid also emitted thick white smoke from their bodies, appearing to be in great pain.
When Han Shuo, who was at the back of the group, saw this archmage's attack, he recalled some of Fanny's magic explanations and recognized that this was the high level dark magic, "Devil's Haunt". He also finally knew that this flirtatious mature woman was actually a terrifying dark archmage.
The tragic deaths of the first ten Forest Troll warriors had caused a certain degree of panic among the Forest Troll. However, it was a good thing that the Forest Troll race had always survived in the midst of cruel pillaging. Although there was a short period of panic, they still continued to advance due to their large numbers.
A sharp whistle suddenly emitted from Han Shuo's mouth. When Trunks, who had been observing everything from the shadows, heard Han Shuo's signal, he was a bit confused. This was because Han Shuo's whistle had come from within the Forest Troll. No matter how Trunks imagined, he would never have thought that Han Shuo would be mixed in with the Forest Troll.
However, out of his trust in Han Shuo, Trunks still abruptly dashed out from his hiding place according to their previous agreement and charged towards the female dark archmage who was wreaking havoc on the Forest Troll.
Trunks, who was riding on his manticore, gripped his longsword and locked onto the female archmage. Taking advantage of everyone's panic and confusion, he charged towards the female archmage, planning to first entangle her because the power of her dark magic was too great. Normal people wouldn't be able to defend against it.
"It's that Trunks! Everyone stop him! Don't let him near me no matter what!" The female dark archmage actually quickly discovered Trunks and immediately yelled out in a high voice.
Five or six senior swordsmen, archers, and other mages immediately ran over from all directions to block the dark archmage when they heard the female dark archmage's yell. This group of people immediately launched their attacks, forcing Trunks to be unable to easily approach.
The female archmage didn't pay attention to Trunks as she released one powerful dark magic after another with her back facing Trunks. The dozens of troll warriors that had rushed over fell one by one. Not a single one was able to approach the female archmage.
"Emissary, emissary, what should we do?" The old priest saw the Forest Troll warriors die one by one and scrambled to Han Shuo's side, asking in a panic.
Staring at the frightening female archmage for a long time, Han Shuo felt that he would still be hard pressed to escape death if he rushed over. The invasion of the dark magic on the physical body was too frightening. It looked like perhaps only the Little Skull, which was purely made up of bones, wouldn't need to fear the invasion of the dark magic.
"Look, the great goddess Dadara has come out." Pointing at the Little Skull that had stepped out of the palanquin, Han Shuo comforted the old priest.
