I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 164 Lightning Beam

"Fight for the adults!"

It's unclear which soldier was the first to react, but he raised his spear and shouted.

The eighty-odd soldiers immediately split into two groups, pointing their spears and iron swords at each other!

"Stop! Stern is dead!"

Baron Taliss held up Baron Stern's charred head and shouted angrily to stop him.

"Baron Stern was corrupted by heretical magic! He tried to assassinate me! But I detected his movements first and killed him! Which of you will follow the heretics?"

The soldiers all looked at him.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Baron Stern is dead!

"You want to follow heretics?!"

"Put down your weapons! Otherwise you are heretics!"

The twenty-odd soldiers belonging to Baron Talis suddenly became arrogant, showing no fear even when facing a force twice their size.

After all, there's only one Baron left!

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting the ground rang out, and the soldiers who once belonged to Baron Stern threw down their weapons.

"I failed to distinguish heresy! I don't know!"

"Please forgive me, Lord Talis!"

"I am willing to follow Lord Talis!"

"Please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

The soldiers began cutting.

They're not church members, so how can they distinguish secret heretical practices?

Although some soldiers had their doubts, it was not something they could investigate at the moment.

They don't want to be accused of heresy!

"Your willingness to atone proves that you are not heretics."

Baron Taliss's gaze swept over the fifty-odd soldiers, who all lowered their heads.

"I'm giving you a chance to atone! That is to pledge allegiance to me!"

Snapped……

More than fifty soldiers knelt down.

"We are willing to pledge our allegiance to you, Lord Talis!"

"Holy crap?"

Looking at the changes in the glowing spots on the map, Li Mosi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Master? What happened?"

Zi'an, who had been standing next to him, suddenly looked over.

Hagi Seiya leaned to the side and peeked his head out from behind Koyasu.

"Did something happen to the craftsman?"

"The two nobles are fighting."

Li Moss turned off the map and looked up at the slope below.

The two nobles led their troops a long way, and they returned to the place where they had first laid an ambush.

The slaves were stripping equipment from the soldiers' corpses.

Under Zi Yi's orders, the goblins piled up the horse's equipment, guarded it, and then began to dismantle the horse's carcass.

"ah?!"

The saintess's mouth dropped open.

"Why are they fighting?"

Who started the fight?

The old man in charge of maintaining order and Zi Yi, who was leading the work team, immediately looked up and around.

Seeing that it was Haki Saint shouting, the old man continued doing his own thing.

The young girl, Enlian, and the craftsman were constantly arguing.

After a few days, he got used to it.

Zi Yi knew something had changed, so he said a few words to the greedy meat beside him and walked towards Li Mosi.

After Ziyi walked up the slope, Zian and Haji looked at Li Mosi again.

Li Mosi pieced together the terms she had just seen and began to recount what had happened.

"The two nobles and their soldiers did not return by the same route, but instead reached an uphill area."

"And then there's Baron Talis... another nobleman who fled with him must also be a baron, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at Haki Saint.

The saintess nodded: "Yes, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape."

Having received the answer, Li Mosi looked at his two disciples again.

This relieved the saintess.

Fortunately, the craftsman didn't ask her who the baron was.

She was too busy being nervous after the earthen wall collapsed to take a closer look.

"The soldiers were so frightened by the sight of the uphill slope that they stopped in their tracks. At that moment, Baron Talis laughed again, and the soldiers, frightened, backed away."

"The two barons continued up the slope, but halfway up, they started fighting. Talis severed the other baron's right hand and then used magic to burn him. The baron was on the verge of death. He then beheaded the other baron."

Li Mosi stopped speaking at this point.

More magic?!

Zi Yi opened his mouth and began to think.

Hagi Saint frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Zi'an leaned forward slightly.

"and then?"

Li Moss glanced at the map again: "Then the fifty-two soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down and threw down their weapons. Now only one baron is leading eighty-three soldiers to continue south."

The battle between the two barons ended far too quickly.

The soldiers hadn't even had a chance to start fighting yet.

That's it?

Zi'an felt something was amiss.

Li Moss looked at Hagi Saint again and asked, "What did you think of?"

The saint shook her head and asked him, "Is Talis dizzy or unconscious? Has the other baron's position changed?"

"No, none of them."

Li Mosi was very certain of this.

"That's a bit strange."

The saintess's words made all three of them look at her.

She then spoke.

"If it's a fireball spell, it will definitely blast people away at a distance that can scorch them. You just saw this spell not long ago."

The three of them nodded slightly.

The earthen walls were cracked; if it had hit someone, they would have been sent flying.

Moreover, based on previous experience, the fireball spell's attack power is more about explosion than burns.

The saintess then adopted a look of reminiscence.

"If it didn't blow up the other baron, but could still roast him, and prevent Talis from becoming dizzy or even unconscious, it must be magical equipment. But the only magic I can think of is—"

"Lightning Bolt"

"Lightning Bolt!"

Li Mosi and the saintess spoke at the same time, but the words they used were completely different.

The saintess stared at him with wide eyes.

"How do you know the common language name for this magic?"

Oh no.

Li Mosi only saw Haki Saint shake his head.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're also a nobleman."

Ziyi and Zian exchanged a glance, then looked at Li Mosi.

"Master, what is a lightning bolt?"

Li Mosi spoke as she recalled the information about the running game club she had formed before her transmigration.

"A thick pillar of lightning, approximately sixty paces long and three paces wide, is unleashed from his hand in the designated direction. Creatures that fail to dodge it will suffer 8... significant damage."

This craftsman really knows!

But is there something he didn't finish saying?

The saintess felt something was off, but she didn't think much of it and nodded to continue.

"That's right, it's this magic. But I don't recall seeing any related equipment around here in the church's records of monitoring magical equipment."

In other words, this magical equipment is outside of regulatory oversight.

Zi Yi was somewhat speechless.

"Why is this kind of thing so difficult to regulate? There must be very few such cases."

I feel like this large tribe called the Papacy isn't as smart as him.

"You understand..."

"Then why did they choose to run away instead of using force?"

Hagi Sei's rebuttal was interrupted by Koyasu's doubt.

Zi'an now only felt a wave of fear.

If a noble were to use this during an attack or when ambushed... it would probably hurt quite a bit.

"Hmph~"

The saintess grinned at Zi'an.

"It's definitely because they're heartbroken. These border regions don't have many resources to begin with, and the nobles here are very poor. The loss caused by using up third-circle magical equipment imbued with magic crystals is no less than burning down their territory for them!"

There's no need to hold it in when it's already on your face.

Li Mosi sensed something was wrong.

Hiding at a time like this is tantamount to hiding forever, for you'll be hiding until your next life!

He looked at the beaming Hagi Saint: "You're all outside the Vatican's jurisdiction now. I think you should think about what's going on. Maybe it's related to what happened to you."

The saintess's smile froze, and she instantly stopped laughing.

"Chief! The horses have all been butchered!"

The greedy meat below the slope let out a loud cry.

Zi Yi glanced at it, then turned to Li Mosi and said, "Master, the horses have all been distributed."

Li Mosi stood up and patted the dust off her backside.

"Then let's go home."
