“Don’t hurt those commoners. Stick to the plan before the enemy comes!”

Regardless of whether they heeded his instructions, Xiao Yu led his Goblin army towards the Druid Shrine at Night Whisper Village.

The shrine was easily located once they went down the straight path from the main gate. There was a huge, crooked tree that was 15-16 meters tall. The inclined branches formed a slope and a log cabin located at the end. Despite the dark surroundings, the green light rays being emitted from the cabin were vivid like a light tower. That was the Shrine. From afar, Xiao Yu could see a figure with antlers standing in front of the Shrine’s gate.

Archdruid Manster Moonwalker said, “Who dares to violate this ancient land, who dares to provoke the fury of the Night Elves!? Infiltrators, you will pay for your insolence!”

A gravely and oppressive voice resounded throughout the shrine, and it seemed to have been heard by the entire village.

“Damn,” Xiao Yu thought to himself, “he seems really strong.” Usually, NPCs’ strength could be gauged from their speech, hence the Druid was probalbly really powerful from it’s cocky address.

As expected, upon completing his piece, the Druid raised his staff.

He seemed to be manifesting a powerful spell as a green gleam agglomerated in his hands.

Xiao Yu took a quick glance at the guards’ layout around the shrine.

Other than the Archdruid, there were several Night Elf Guards in front of the ancient tree. Since they were obstructing him from the Elemental Seed, even if it was the Archdruid, they had to die.

“Killer, shoot now!”

“Yes, Boss!” Killer Codename 38 was assigned to command the archers. He stepped up and instructed, “Ready, release!” The Goblin Scouts drew their bows and aligned their arrows. Soon, the short arrows fell like rain droplets.

Manster Moonwalker (Archdruid) said, “Gale, listen to my command!” With the Archdruid in the center, a tempest flurried and dissipated the weak rain of arrows. None of them touched the druid.

“Damn, I didn’t know that this skill existed, it’s so strong!” Xiao Yu thought. “Let’s put the druid on hold and shoot the guards instead.”

“Fearless, charge with your warriors! Slay that old hog.”

“Yes, Boss.” Fearless led the 30 Goblin Warriors and bolted towards the druid. Killer Codename 38 commanded the archers to target the guards instead. The guards did not possess strong defense skills like the Druid, so they began falling to the ground one by one. The Druid cast another spell just as Fearless and his team were about to dash up the slope.

Manster Moonwalker (Archdruid) said, “Violators, experience Mother Nature’s Rage! Nature’s Power!” His staff aimed at the trees, and it lit up with a green glow. The surrounding trees unrooted from the ground and the roots transformed into legs, while the branches turned into arms. They struggled to maneuver themselves as they became Treants and darted towards Xiao Yu, barricading the path to the shrine.

Fortunately, the three Treants’ width was around two meters, not as large as the Ancient Tree Guardian and Ancient Tree of War. However, they still proved to be a threat for the Goblins.
