Chapter 35: Leave None Alive

A group of female Lizardmen and Lizardman children were driven out of the darkness by Goblins.

The number was considerable, over 200 of them.

This caused a commotion in the darkness.

"Move quickly, or I’ll eat you!"

A Goblin looked greedily at the female Lizardmen passing by.

He picked up a spear and jabbed one of them.

The Lizardman let out a miserable cry of pain and jumped in fright.

This provoked a burst of laughter from the surrounding Goblins.

The frightened female Lizardmen, holding their trembling children, walked forward with fear in their eyes.

The appearance of women and children caused unrest among the Lizardmen near the thatched huts.

All the Lizardmen glared angrily at the Goblins driving the women and children.

Faced with the enraged male Lizardmen, Li Meng grinned.

He then turned and waved at a female Lizardman not far behind him.

A Goblin nearby hurriedly used a spear to force the female Lizardman over.

The female Lizardman, full of fear, came before Li Meng.

The sight of the hideous Goblin made her legs weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Looking down at the trembling female Lizardman before him, Li Meng grinned again.

His eyes suddenly turned cold. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the female Lizardman by the neck.

The female Lizardman, larger than Li Meng, was lifted off the ground with ease.

The sensation of suffocation caused the female Lizardman to struggle violently.

But her struggles were in vain.

Li Meng, gripping the female Lizardman’s neck, faced the group of Lizardmen.

"You should already know what I intend to do!"

Li Meng's gaze fixed on Bai Ling standing at the doorway of the thatched hut.

Bai Ling glared at him angrily, her whole body trembling.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"Damned Goblins, go to hell!"

Unable to bear the sight of their kin being so mistreated by the Goblins, several Lizardmen roared in fury.

The leading Lizardman let out an angry shout.

Five Lizardmen suddenly charged at Li Meng.

"Come back!"

Adao was alarmed by the reckless actions of his people.

He quickly tried to stop them, but it was too late.

Benben moved. The massive creature took a few steps forward.

With the giant spiked club in his hand, he swung horizontally.

"Bang!"

The massive club swept across the five Lizardmen.

At the moment of impact, the crisp sound of bones shattering echoed through the night sky.

The five Lizardmen were flung away like ragdolls, soaring tens of meters before crashing into a thatched hut.

One wall of the hut collapsed instantly.

"Roar!"

After finishing his attack, Benben let out an angry roar toward the Lizardmen.

Terrified, the Lizardmen retreated repeatedly, staring at the Ogre encased in steel.

"My patience is limited!"

Li Meng tightened his grip.

The female Lizardman clutched Li Meng's hand tightly.

Her mouth dripped saliva profusely.

Her neck emitted cracking sounds, as if it would be broken in the next moment.

Bai Ling gritted her teeth, glaring at Li Meng with hatred.

"The White-Scaled tribe would rather die than become slaves!"

Hearing the final answer from the female Lizardman, Li Meng grinned.

Releasing his grip, Li Meng let go of the female Lizardman.

The Lizardman knelt on the ground, gasping for air.

Li Meng pointed forward, his gaze filled with killing intent as he stared at the Lizardmen before him.

"Kill them all, leave none alive!"

Originally considering keeping these adult Lizardmen as labor, he now decided to kill them all.

The Goblins behind him were overjoyed by the leader's command.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The ecstatic Goblins charged forward in a frenzy.

Their cries echoed through the sky.

The sound of crossbow bolts piercing through the air resounded again in the dark night.

This made the Lizardmen in front of the thatched huts look tense.

"Block them! Kill!"

Adao realized that the High Priest had clearly been negotiating with the Goblins earlier.

The result was obvious—the talks had failed.

As the Lizardmen moved, so did Benben.

Holding his massive spiked club, he charged toward the Lizardmen like a heavy tank.

Just as the massive club was raised for a sweeping strike,

A cloud of white mist quickly approached from the ground, engulfing Benben's body.

The white mist instantly turned into ice, freezing Benben once again.

"Ah!"

Bai Ling chose to stop Benben, but this meant she couldn’t help the Lizardmen.

The crossbow bolts rained down, falling into the group of Lizardmen like droplets.

The darkness was filled with screams and wails.

Sharp crossbow bolts pierced through the Lizardmen's bodies.

The Lizardmen at the forefront of the charge fell in large numbers.

Adao was strong, an outstanding warrior among the Lizardmen.

But he was still made of flesh and blood.

Charging at the forefront, Adao became the primary target of the Goblin crossbowmen.

His body was riddled with crossbow bolts, turning him into a porcupine.

Even so, he staggered forward in the darkness.

His legs gave out, and Adao fell to his knees.

"Goblins, I... I will kill you..."

His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared into the depths of the darkness.

In his vision, countless Goblins holding spears emerged from the shadows.

He tried to pick up the large machete beside him to continue fighting.

But his hands were already limp and powerless.

The Goblins ignored him, rushing past him with loud cries.

Before losing consciousness entirely, Adao saw and heard something.

He saw countless figures emerging from the darkness.

He heard the rumbling sound of their footsteps.

___

In the darkness, Adao fell to the ground with a mix of despair and resignation.

The night deepened, and the moonlight illuminated the chaotic village.

The shouts of battle, roars, screams, and wails echoed endlessly.

Magical lights flashed in some parts of the village.

"Don’t come near! Don’t come near!"

In front of the thatched huts, Bai Ling looked at the approaching Ogre with despair.

The Ogre seemed like a wall, blocking her magic.

She wanted to help her tribe, to use magic to kill the Goblins.

Even if the White-Scaled Tribe was destined to perish tonight, she wanted to take the Goblins down with them.

But her magic couldn’t break through the Ogre's massive body.

She couldn’t bypass this formidable barrier.

"High Priest, save me!"

In the darkness, a blood-covered Lizardman crawled to Bai Ling's feet.

Two crossbow bolts were lodged in its back, and blood poured from its mouth.

"Ah!"

Bai Ling, having never seen so much blood, let out a sharp scream.

Filled with fear, she turned and ran into the hut.

The High Priest's reaction left the Lizardman lying on the ground bewildered.

As it succumbed to blood loss, it closed its eyes with lingering questions.

At this moment, the final slaughter was underway in the surrounding darkness.

Although it seemed like both sides were engaged in chaotic battle, the Lizardmen were rapidly being defeated.

Against the crossbows, the Lizardmen had no means of resistance.

The darkness hindered their vision.

Already outmatched, the Lizardmen were being slaughtered entirely under such conditions—it was only a matter of time.

"It seems the Lizardmen aren’t such a strong race after all."

In the darkness, Li Meng walked across the battlefield, stepping over corpses.

As he walked, Li Meng didn’t find a single Lizardman with any special abilities.

The Goblins, though weak, clearly had a higher potential than the Lizardmen.
