Chapter 1158: Traitor?! (Part One)
Everyone was shocked by this extraordinary battle in the sky.
When this goblin god died, his bones and blood fell on the ground, instantly shattering the land. Then, all the goblins within five kilometers died, and more lava and water shot out of the ground as the land cracked, creating many terrifying and bottomless abysses.
Only the campsite of the expeditionary troop was shielded by the magic array of the Northern Region Empire. Like a lone magical island, the campsite lightly floated above the flames and water.
Everyone inside the campsite felt like their legs were sore and twitching; this scene was too terrifying!
This was the result of Valkyrie Elena and the goblin gods’ battle in the sky; they intentionally moved away from the ground already. If this battle took place on land, this area might have been turned into a giant crater already.
Boom!
The Valkyrie’s long hair looked like a fire, and she was engulfed in terrifying flames. The ancient spear in her hands was lethal, and it pierced the head of the second goblin god who was engulfed in green energy flames.
The two goblin gods were dead.
Their bodies turned into dust and fell, and their vast and unimaginable godly core energies permeated the air like a thick green fog.
Suddenly, a light appeared, and an invisible energy flashed by.
In the next moment, the core energies that the two goblin gods left in the world disappeared.
The Valkyrie stood in the sky, looking dignified and unrivaled.
After killing two goblin gods, Elena wasn’t injured at all.
Her presence was vast, and she emitted terrifying pressure. Red godly light shot out of her eyes, piercing the cracks in the sky and looking into the void like two sharp swords.
A series of angry roars sounded from afar.
It was clear that other goblin gods were observing the battle, and the strength that Elena showcased shocked them, making them not have the courage to get close to the campsite.
Suddenly, the Valkyrie put away the spear and took out the weapon that she was the most proficient with – her bow.
At this moment, she unleashed radiant light, taking away all the glamor from the world. As if they were looking at the sun in the sky, others couldn’t help but close their eyes.
In this instant, Elena pulled open the bow and loaded the arrows.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three golden light beams shot through the sky.
Wherever they went, the three light beams tore open space and left three black, terrifying, and deep grooves on the ground.
At the same time, a scream sounded from the void about 50 kilometers away.
Green blood dripped down from the sky, and white bone fragments and green flesh fell alongside the blood. Then, a ton of godly essence permeated the air.
Another goblin god was killed!
The Valkyrie’s strike terrified the goblin gods that were lingering in the area. Those lofty existences who were observing from afar instantly dashed away, not daring to stand within 500 kilometers of the campsite.
At the campsite, everyone finally felt safe. The chilly sensation that engulfed their minds completely disappeared.
The expeditionary troop was temporarily safe.
Golden beams shot out of Elena’s eyes, and she scanned the area around the campsite. After making sure that those ill-intentioned figures all left, she dashed down toward the campsite.
A streak of golden flames shot out of the Valkyrie’s body.
The cracked land came back together, and the lava and water were suppressed back into the ground by this force as well.
The only thing was that all the animals and plants in the area died, and the land turned into a desert.
Chapter 1158: Traitor?! (Part Two)
The white sand grains were everywhere, extending to hundreds of kilometers away. A piece of rich and fertile land became a desert in the end after the godly battle.
The power of gods was terrifying!
“Your Highness!” Everyone at the campsite looked at Elena with respect and welcomed her return.
If it weren’t for the Valkyrie being here, the expeditionary troop would have suffered a big loss, and many casualties wouldn’t be avoided. In fact, the expeditionary troop could have been completely wiped out.
Kompany and his close to 20,000 cavalrymen of Manchester City all felt scared after the battle was over. They almost fell into these despicable goblins’ trap. If it weren’t for Elena, they would have died already.
“In this battle, the Goblin Clan lost more than a million members. Although the grassland within about 50 kilometers turned into a desert, many corpses are buried here. In less than three years, it would transform back into fertile land,” Shaarawy sighed.
Now, everyone was surprised and alarmed. None of them expected that they would run into such a terrifying crisis as soon as they entered the Southern Region.
Some of these people already wanted to retreat. In the beginning, everyone responded to the Holy Church’s summon since they wanted to benefit from this war. They all thought that goblins were unruly and lowly beings. They believed that with their elite troops, it would be easy to destroy the enemies and obtain the victory.
However, this war gave everyone a reality check.
“This is strange. We are less than 50,000 kilometers into the Southern Region, but we encountered such a goblin military. In fact, even goblin gods appeared. Don’t you think that it is strange?” Cassano asked with a frown.
Gerard nodded and replied, “I also find that strange. It seems like the goblins know that we are coming, and they know about our path and our plan. It feels like they set up this trap and were waiting for us to fall into it.”
“Now you say that, I feel the same way!” Ramos of Madrid replied as he pondered.
“Could it be that there is a traitor among us? Feeding information to the goblins?” Kompany of Manchester City shouted.
As soon as Kompany said that, many people’s expressions changed.
The Valkyrie shook her head and said in a calm tone, “We don’t need to talk about that now. The priority is deciding what we should do. Should we continue forward or retreat to Bali Island?”
Elena was direct with her words. “In my opinion, we should instantly retreat and go back to Bali Island. Clearly, we underestimated the Goblin Empire’s military force and high-level combat force. With our current strength, it is impossible to travel forward for 500,000 kilometers and get close to the City of Iduna.”
Elena’s words surprised everyone.
“Retreat? This is only the first battle, and we are talking about retreat already? It is a little too abrupt. What about our peers who are struggling in Iduna? Let alone our honor and pride,” people thought to themselves.
“Since we are hesitating, we can rest here for half a day. Everyone, please think hard on the next step. I won’t force anyone. If you all decide to go forward, I will agree to it.”
After saying that, Elena turned around and left.
“Our clans will follow the humans’ final decision.”
White-Tiger Priestess Susanna and that shy female gnome named Jean looked at each other and didn’t say much more than that.
Then, these two returned to their troops and started to organize everything.
