Xiao Yu felt like he was in the midst of an underworld negotiation as he glanced at the monster leaders and their lackeys that surrounded the area.

“Little Goblin, you seem like a fresh face. Why isn’t Craigan here?” Hogg was the first to speak. He seemed to be an acquaintance of the old Chief.

“Hehe, our old Chief has passed on. The Mud Horde belongs to me now.”

“Hmph hmph, Goblins all look the same to me,” Blake Rhode snorted.

“Um, Chief Eric, why did you gather us here?” Golden Tooth jittered nervously. He eyed Hogg cautiously as he spoke. The Kobolds have always been tyrannized by the Gnolls, hence all of them followed Hogg’s instructions.

“I have something to discuss with you guys. I have a great plan and would like to invite you all to join me.”

“Plan? What plan?” Judging from their responses, they did not seem to believe that a puny Goblin Chief was capable of coming up with any great plans.

“The plan is to attack Night Whisper Village.”

“What?!” The three leaders were stunned at Xiao Yu’s proposal and thought that they had misheard him. It was ingrained in them that only Adventurers could attack their campsites. Since when could monsters attack the Adventurers’ villages and cities?

Hogg was irritated. “Are you joking? How is this possible?”

“Why, are you afraid?” Xiao Yu sniggered at Hogg.

“You seemed to underestimate me,” Hogg growled. “Hmph hmph, Hogg is never afraid, Hogg is the strongest!”

“You don’t have to give anymore excuses. I know that you are afraid, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Indeed, the Night Elves are far stronger than us. Even though it’s only a village, it still overpowers the hordes here. However, if we work together, we can defeat them and take down Night Whisper Village.”

“But even if we unite and take down the village, what good will it bring us?” Blake Rhode snorted.

It was a player’s style to question the benefits; however, Xiao Yu thought that he could not conclude that Blake Rhode was a player just yet. Usually, when a monster had an odd name, such as Li Goudan, Wang Er Ma Zi, or Romance in the Rain, it was almost certain that it was a player character.

However, professional players would often choose names that were in line with the game’s style, so it was difficult to determine if they were NPCs or players. For example, Xiao Yu’s character was called Eric, which was usually a NPC’s name.
