2025-03-22 01:02:48"In Wyndham, the party responsible for bringing in these goblins is..."
Satisfied with all the information he had gathered regarding the goblins' presence in Cammont, Marc tapped the screen, shifting his focus to the details about the city he was currently in.
"Preston..." Marc muttered. "Hmm, that makes perfect sense. But... what?"
His eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing.
"That old man is a member of Dark Star? That bastard! No wonder he ordered that ninja to commit such a heinous act against Abbot Tenzin."
Yes, the name on the screen revealed that the Baron of Wyndham, Alistair Everstone, was undeniably linked to this cruel and twisted sect. Marc had suspected from the start that the old man was devious, but he had never expected him to be involved in such a vast network.
"You're right." Ulrich's voice came from behind him once again. "In other words, if we eliminate these Dark Star members from every city—even from all o

Chapter 276 - Deliver My Punishment
As if to prove he wasn’t speaking in jest, Elliot dropped to both knees in front of Grizelda. Slowly, he bowed his head.“Go ahead. Give me the punishment you should’ve handed down thirty years ago.”Gone was the cold, commanding presence of a general. In its place stood a man stripped of pride and ego, submitting himself completely.But instead of carrying out his request, Grizelda turned her face away, folding her arms tightly across her chest.“Idiot! Why would you stoop so low? Get up! I don’t need your apology!”Her face flushed red—but not from anger.For reasons she couldn’t quite explain, something stirred in her chest as she watched Elliot kneel like that. A strange feeling she hadn’t experienced in decades.“Why… why do I still feel so sorry for him?” Grizelda whispered to herself.“I should hate him—for what he did to my people. So why do I feel this way? Am I losing my mind?”The truth about Grizelda was far from the accusations Kragnir had hurled at her. She had never mur
Chapter 275 - I’m Sorry
Back to the present.“Huh? Elliot, are you calling me senile? That’s it, isn’t it? That’s what you’re trying to say, right?”Grizelda glared sharply at Elliot. The anger she felt toward Marc now seemed redirected at the general.“Have you forgotten about the token? Anyone who holds that token has the right to grant goblins permission to enter human territory. And I can assure you that every goblin who entered Cammont—or anywhere in Walenstein—did so with that permission.”As soon as those words left her mouth, Grizelda’s appearance changed in an instant. Her tattered dress became clean and pristine. Her messy, tangled hair straightened and fell neatly over her shoulders. The dark, peeling skin on her face smoothed into a clear, pale complexion.In that moment, she looked beautiful—like a woman in her early forties. By human standards, this goblin could easily be considered elegant, even captivating.As a noble among goblins, Grizelda had always possessed a striking beauty for her age.
Chapter 274 - The Pact Made Thirty Years Ago (Final Part)
Skarleta pulled a folded sheet of paper from the pocket of her shorts.“I want to make a pact with you—a peace agreement between goblins and humans. If we sign this, there’ll be no need for any more pointless bloodshed between our peoples.”A sly grin curled across her lips.Although he wasn’t a king, Elliot was the highest-ranking marquis in Lanshire. This gave him enough authority to make major decisions on the spot, including signing a treaty like this one.“What are you getting at?”Elliot grew tense. He caught the meaning behind that grin, and it made his skin crawl.“I’m done wasting breath. You’ll have to read it for yourself.”Skarleta handed him the paper.As soon as it touched his hands, Elliot’s eyes widened.He hadn’t expected the so-called “peace agreement” to be this extreme.The terms written on the page were bold—dangerously so.It stated that goblins would be allowed free passage into human territory, something strictly forbidden for generations throughout the Kingdom
Chapter 273 - The Pact Made Thirty Years Ago (Part 9)
"That bastard’s got no shame!"Grizelda cursed, unable to hold back her fury any longer after hearing Elliot’s words.“Hey, you son of a bitch! You came here and wreaked havoc in my territory, and now you’re blaming us? You really think you can test our patience like that?”She jabbed a finger in Elliot’s face, barely holding back the urge to strike.Hundreds of thousands of goblins had perished at the hands of this butcher. As the goblin leader of the northern region—where they stood now—Grizelda felt it was her duty to take action. Anything less would be a disgrace to her title.“You made a grave mistake. I’ll never forgive you.”A cold, sinister aura burst from Grizelda’s body like a black storm. Her eyes burned with unfiltered rage and an overwhelming thirst for blood.But just before she could lash out, Thorga stepped in. Her beloved nephew quickly positioned himself between her and Elliot.“Auntie, please… think this through.”His gaze locked with hers, his expression firm yet p

“Damn it!”Cursing under his breath, Elliot pushed himself up from the ground, panting heavily. He was still reeling from the sudden attack that had slammed into his back, sending him crashing down with brutal force.Now, where he sat, a massive crater nearly twenty meters wide marked the impact site.“This thing didn’t just withstand my full power… it actually counterattacked? Who the hell is he?”He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, letting his inner energy flow through his body to soothe the dull ache in his back. Though he hadn’t sustained any serious internal injuries, his core energy was nearly depleted.But he didn’t have to wait long for answers. Moments later, he heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching from ahead.His eyes snapped open.In the distance, around a few hundred meters away, four figures were walking toward him. Judging by their silhouettes, they appeared to be human. But Elliot, who had long since reached the pinnacle of cultivation, could sense that
Chapter 271 - The Pact Made Thirty Years Ago (Part 7)
BOOM!!!A deafening explosion ripped through the air, shaking the world as golden and black light clashed violently in the sky. The impact lit up the night with an eerie brilliance—gold streaked with dark energy, illuminating the heavens in an unnatural glow.But that wasn’t all.Even though the clash happened fifty meters above ground, its shockwave reached far beyond. Goblins stationed nearly two kilometers away were hurled back hundreds of meters, caught in the blast’s sheer force.Seconds later, a figure wreathed in golden light was sent flying backwards—miles away—crashing through the sky like a meteor. Simultaneously, another figure cloaked in black aura plummeted just as far, slamming into trees and finally smashing into a massive boulder that cracked under the force before his body finally came to a stop near the forest’s edge.“Damn it!”The dark-aura figure cursed under his breath, gritting his teeth. He pushed himself off the ground, pain searing through his right arm.“My
Chapter 270 - The Pact Made Thirty Years Ago (Part 6)
“Aaaargh!”Agonized screams echoed across the battlefield.Elliot stood amidst a sea of goblin corpses, his hands drenched in blood. Under the pale light of the full moon, he remained frozen, watching the last few surviving soldiers writhe and scream as the goblins tore into their flesh, ripping skin and limbs apart like ravenous beasts feasting on a long-awaited meal."I'm sorry..."He muttered softly, bowing his head as his eyes slipped shut.His reputation as a protector—shattered.But that wasn’t what truly broke him. What crushed him was the realization that not only had he failed to stop the endless waves of goblins, he couldn’t even save a single one of his men.Roar!Roar!Roar!The snarls of the bloodthirsty creatures surrounded him. About thirty feet around Elliot, the goblins paced restlessly, unable to move closer—repelled by the golden aura radiating from his body, an energy so intense it seemed to scorch their very skin.“Aaaargh!”The last soldier's scream rang out—a fi
Chapter 269 - The Pact Made Thirty Years Ago (Part 5)
“Damn it! This is completely out of control!”Still mid-air, Elliot cursed under his breath as he spotted tens of thousands of goblins stampeding out of the forest—racing toward his ten-thousand-strong unit like a swarm of rabid beasts.They didn’t just move fast. They surged like a tidal wave of predators—wild, relentless, fearless.Bang! Bang! Bang!Rattatatat! Rattatatat!Down below, chaos reigned. His soldiers, led by several trusted lieutenant colonels, were panicked and disorganized. Most were shooting blindly, spraying bullets like rookies who'd never held a gun before.Elliot could see the fear had swallowed them whole.These troops were seasoned, sure. But fighting bloodthirsty creatures that moved like cheetahs, leaping through the air with inhuman speed and agility? This was new territory. And it was deadly.“Savage freaks!”Elliot clenched his jaw tight. He had to act—now—or he’d watch his army get wiped out.Hovering two hundred meters above the battlefield, he gathered a
Chapter 268 - The Pact Made Thirty Years Ago (Part 4)
“This can’t be real! That myth… it’s true?!”Elliot clenched both fists on instinct, a blazing golden aura erupting from his body. It lit up the shadowy courtyard beneath the pale full moon like a beacon.Before him stood dozens of ragged, foul-smelling figures, their blood-red eyes locked onto him with razor-sharp intensity.In all his decades in the military, Elliot had encountered supernatural beings from other races—vampires, werewolves, even elves. But goblins? This was a first.He’d always believed goblins were nothing more than bedtime horror stories meant to scare little kids. Yet here they were, right in front of his eyes.Roar!Across the courtyard, around thirty goblins crouched in a semi-circle, feasting on a deer carcass. The moment they noticed Elliot, they froze mid-bite and slowly rose to their feet.Their beady eyes scanned him from head to toe, their nostrils flaring wildly.Sniff-sniff!The scent of human flesh was strong and tempting. They didn’t even hesitate—why
