I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 238 Why didn't you say so sooner?

This is indeed very safe.

Zi Yi immediately nodded in agreement and hurriedly went to gather the clansmen.

If we don't hurry, it will be dawn by the time we get there.

With Li Moss leading the way, the group rushed to Stern Town to open the warehouse and prepare for battle, and then traveled to Talis under the cover of night.

By the time they arrived, the moon had already passed over the western mountains.

The darkest hour is before dawn.

Fortunately, Li Mosi doesn't need to worry about this.

He had checked the status of each soldier on the [Leshan Water] map.

After confirming that they were all asleep, he spoke softly to Zi Yi.

"That's enough, but you must be quiet."

"it is good."

Zi Yi nodded and turned to look at his clansmen.

The twenty tribesmen who accompanied him this time were all skilled hunters.

"You can start the fire now, but be quiet. How about the kindling?"

Several goblins opened two wooden boxes.

It contained a smoldering ember.

Seeing the faint light, Zi Yi nodded.

"Go."

"Yes."

The goblins responded quietly or nodded silently.

Even with dark vision, darkness limits their hunting capabilities.

But it's difficult to restrict their movement.

Eighteen goblins, carrying firewood, hay, and grease cans, crept toward the wooden wall outside Talis Town.

Two goblins made their way to the fortress gate alone.

rustling...

Hearing the slight rustling sound of the hay during transport, Ziyi, Zian, and the Saintess tensed up.

Li Moss kept an eye on the soldiers' condition.

Fortunately, although the slight friction sound was loud to them, if they didn't pay attention, they would only think it was the sound of a breeze.

Even if one or two light sleepers woke up, they would simply turn over and fall asleep again.

The goblins arrived at their location without incident and began laying down hay and firewood, then smearing them with animal oil and stacking candles on top.

However, the two goblins on the other side of the fortress were somewhat unexpected for Li Moss.

They actually managed to get inside the walled area!

The two goblins were also confused.

Who doesn't close their door when they sleep?

But it doesn't matter anyway.

If you don't close the door, then burn another one!

Soon, all the goblins had set up fire sources.

As planned, they gathered together to confirm their identities and then placed the tinder from the small wooden box under the dry grass to ignite it.

Seeing the fire start, they used a candle to borrow fire and ignited all the ignition points.

He threw down the candle and ran away!

rustling...

The twenty goblins quickly ran back to Li Mosi and his companions, and regrouped.

"Chief, it's on fire."

"The same goes for the wooden door."

As they spoke, they glanced back.

No one noticed them, no one chased them.

Only the gradually growing flames outside the walls of Talis and at the fortress gate proved that they had indeed set fire.

Because the grease is still solidified and has not fused like a proper ignition source, the fire spreads extremely slowly.

Zi Yi looked at Li Mosi.

"Master, it's all on fire."

Li Mosi waved.

"We're retreating."

……

"Get up, stop being a lazy donkey."

"It's getting light, get up quickly."

The soldiers opened their eyes to find the sky glowing with a faint blue light.

They quickly woke up their companions.

They can't let anyone find out they're slacking off!

Although Gaimur told them to rest well yesterday and prepare to assemble and attack today.

Although this is something every soldier on night watch would do.

But knowing something in your heart and being discovered by the manager are two different things.

Such things happen far too often in baronies.

"oh."

"Hmm~~"

"Awesome~~"

Some soldiers got up immediately, some remained seated, and others stretched and yawned.

The soldiers on the northern watchtower instinctively climbed down as soon as they woke up.

"Let's go."

"Let's go eat first."

"When do we meet?"

"I don't know, but it should be after dawn?"

"Suck-suck—"

One of the soldiers who regained consciousness first sniffed.

He looked around at his companions.

Explore the endless possibilities of fantasy novels, all in the category navigation.

Can you smell the grease?

"Do you even need to smell it?"

Another soldier pointed to the smoke rising from Baron Talis's house, then swept across the smoke rising from the rooftops of many townspeople's homes.

"You've never smelled it carefully before?"

"Exactly, you can smell it here every day."

"I think you're really hungry."

The soldiers were bored out of their minds during the first half of the night, and now they chatted about whatever came up.

The sky brightened a little more, and the darkness in our vision began to fade.

That's when someone noticed something was wrong.

"Why are those black things rolling around outside?"

The soldiers followed his finger and saw wisps of black smoke rising and churning in the air.

Before they could make a judgment, they heard shouts coming from the south.

"Fire!"

"Come put out the fire!"

what?

The soldiers on guard duty to the north were taken aback.

Several quick-thinking soldiers immediately pushed open the wooden door to check.

I didn't notice anything when the door was closed, but when I opened it, I found that flames had already climbed all over the outside of the wooden wall!

The smoke drifted into the town on the breeze.

Now everyone realized something was wrong.

It's really on fire!

"Quickly, go get a bucket and fetch water!"

"We don't have that many buckets!"

"Take it from the townspeople's homes!"

Loud roars echoed through the deep blue sky.

Li Mosi led her team to the edge of the Eastern Woods, watching as the entire town's outer walls turned orange-red.

Once you've confirmed that the fire is burning, that's fine.

They don't need to fight this time.

The saint's eyes widened.

"Are you really just going to burn it and leave?"

What else?

Li Mosi was too lazy to waste words with her and simply left with her people.

Zi Yi gave the order to the goblins, and twenty goblins followed with empty jars.

However, a few goblins lagged behind and glanced back.

"Stop looking, let's go."

"oh."

"OK."

The goblins took one last look at their masterpiece, and when they noticed someone had run out, they quickly moved away.

Snapped!

"What are you looking at?! Go fetch some water!"

A soldier captain saw his teammate staring blankly eastward and quickly patted him awake.

"Okay."

The soldiers quickly followed, carrying the wooden buckets.

"I just saw something moving in the woods to the east."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Another soldier, carrying a bucket and running wildly, looked dissatisfied.

"You can see clearly from this far away? Why don't you just become the team leader?"

"alright!"

The captain quickly stopped them.

"Go fetch water quickly!"

The fire was extinguished shortly afterward.

Half of them were extinguished by dousing with water and burying with soil, and the other half were burned.

At this moment, almost all the wooden walls outside the town of Talis were blackened.

Only the innermost part retains its original color.

The thick smoke had dissipated, but Gaimour's face was even blacker than the charred wooden wall.

"Croak!"

He looked at the soldiers gathered in the street, his shouts distorted with rage.

"How do you keep watch?!"

Gaimur's gaze swept over the more than one hundred soldiers, who all lowered their heads.

No one dared to meet his wide-open eyes.

"Can anyone tell me? Why were all the wooden walls burned down?!"

He was supposed to lead a team to plunder Baron Stern's territory today, and he was about to become a sheriff.

Why did this suddenly happen?!

Seeing that no one responded, Gaimour walked directly to the soldiers' captains.

"You're all a bunch of useless trash! Donkey shit! Dog shit!"

His spittle landed on the soldiers' captain, and the captains gritted their teeth.

They still didn't speak.

Seeing their obedience, Gaimour went to join the soldiers.

"Have your eyes been blinded by donkey urine?! Ah!"

The soldiers were startled.

A soldier looked up and spoke in a low voice.

"I saw a green shadow; it must have been them who set the fire."

Gaymur stared at him.

Why didn't you say so sooner?!
