Chapter 33 Caught off guard

" But my plan nullifies the size advantage of the enemy", Gillaird said.

Gillaird then went on to explain the details of the plan.

"As you all know the goblins are very weak creatures and even an average man can kill them with a weapon, and the hobgoblin and goblin general isn't much of a problem for us , But their is one goblin species that makes the goblin race hard to overcome , and that is the goblin Shaman " Gillaird explained.

"The mages have looked into the goblin race and discovered that the goblin shaman is in possession of an artifact that can greatly increase its troop strength in time of war which has been passed down from one goblin generation to another, not much is known about the artifact except that it is a very precious item to the goblins and it is always around the shamans neck, and although they are not physically strong they are always protected by other goblins and have strong magical attack " Gillaird said.

"In other for the battle to be won we will have to take care of the shaman first " , Gillaird said.

"But how are we supposed to do that ", Bulk , one of the B rank said , he was a towering man who stood six feet tall he had average look with black rough hair , he wore armours of different sets of armour with mismatch colour and had a long spear as his weapon.

" Excellent question , we are going to need a stealth type warrior , and I have just the man for the job " , Gillaird said pointing to a knight who was now walking to met him.

" This is a member of the black sash knight ", Gillaird said pointing at the man right beside him , his armour was black and instead of armour he wore easy to move in clothes which was enchanted making him look like a ninja.

Black sash are special knights who instead of ensuring peace are used by the royal family as assassins .

" He is going to take care of the shaman , but to do that he will need our help to get close to the Shaman ", Gillaird said.

" Now pay attention while I explain the plan" , Gillaird said.

Through out Gillaird long detailed narration of the plan Miles kept staring at Layla still angry at her ,he was wandering how it will feel when he grew to be so strong that her family will be afraid to offend him and watched as she begged him for forgiveness.

"Now that you know the plan we can now set out to Elgade , and remember stick with the plan , while we are in Elgade I won't be able to talk to everyone of you so try your best to make sure nothing goes wrong with the plan" , Gillaird said.

"So is their any question " , Gillaird asked.

"No , okay its time to move ".

Elgade city , a city that was once filled with people had now turned to a city ruled by the goblin king , goblins roamed the city turning it to their home , the once prosperous city had now turned to a wasteland .

The walls of the city instead of the usual guards had goblins Manning them , on this particular wall a goblin facing the forest which separated the city from other city saw smoke rising from not to far away coming from a distance of five kilometers away from the city wall seeing this the goblin decided to report to his leader the strange activity who in turn told the goblin king.

"Your gobloid there has been report of a fire outbreak in the forest and the location is not to far from us " the hobgoblin said bowing to the floor

"Send a troop of soldiers to scout the issue and send me the report it might be those humans trying to take back the kingdom ", Rakh'Ash the goblin king said

When the hobgoblin left Rakh'Ash turned to speak with the shaman .

"Consult our God tell him that we are about to go to war , we need his Blessing to destroy our enemy and birth in their blood " Rakh'Ash.

"Yes your gobloid ",The shaman proceeded to taking the crystal from his neck saying some incantation lighting up the crystal.

*******

In the dungeons second floor , The raid team was moving at a fast rate but where in high spirit due to not losing a single member and they where starting to think maybe just everyone might survive , after facing the eight magma beast they hadn't come across another beast making them explore the dungeon at a relatively fast rate.

" At this rate we will be done with this goddamn dungeon in no time then we can celebrate ",Reahan said putting his hand around Nates neck.

" Dude don't say that out loud you might jinx it " ,Nate said .

" Ohh please you believe in all those crap , trust me we will be out of this dungeon in about a week " , Reahan said.

"I don't know bro I guess I am still pessimistic , but I really do pray we make it out of here " , Nate said letting out a sigh.

"Anyways , what do you think they are talking about over there " Reahan asked.

"Maybe formulating a strategy to clear the dungeon ", Nate said.

Meanwhile at the front of the team a group of Five A rank adventurers where discussing among each other.

"Don't you think this dungeon seems to calm for an A rank " ?, Mariposa asked.

"It does seem weird but we can't afford to slow down , we only have a little over a week left ", Avrion replied.

" I have been keeping an eye out for a while but I can't sense any beast nearby which is quite strange considering we are in a dungeon, and I can't help but feel like some one is watching us " , Zatiel said.

"You all are just paranoid , I think that is just how this dungeon is " , Vastor said.

" I think Vastor might be right , I mean if the beast don't want to come after us then it is a good thing I mean all we have to do is destroy the dungeon core its not like we need to kill all the monsters in the dungeon , Gilmore said.

The team walked for an hour more before stopping to rest and eat, the team brought out their tents and set up camp in a secluded area.

The team had already settled down and where about to eat when a spike came flying to the group passing through a B rank adventurer head leaving behind a gaping hole which displayed a beast which looked like a magma beast but with spikes protruding all over its body , and behind it more beast came rushing out of a gate .

" Everyone prepare yourselves we are been attacked " Mariposa said.

"Shit , how did they know our location , I knew they where watching our movement , striking us while we are unprepared they where aiming to catch us off guard ,this is going to end badly" , Zatiel thought.
