My summons are weird

Black Shield City, the territory of Gay, one of the three lords in the east of the Kingdom of Yas.

If he hadn't come here in person, it would be hard for Lu Yu to believe that this Black Shield City is not a simple military castle, but a large city-state no less than the King City of Yas.

The kingdom's supplies were continuously imported into Black Shield City from the rear, and then transferred to the other two cities through Black Shield City.

Running such a huge city, as well as being an important border area and a material transfer center, the Duke of Gay is definitely a diehard loyalist of Yas III.

It took five days for the nobles participating in the competition to arrive in Black Shield City. Guy didn't even show up to meet anyone, but just randomly sent his men to settle them down.

The only one received by Guy was Lu Yu.

A team of cavalry escorted Lu Yu and Lulutis to a tower on the outer city wall.

Inside the tower, a burly man in black armor saw Lu Yu coming, waved his hand, and drove away the people around him, leaving only a few cronies behind.

The large scar on Guy's left face that had been burned by flames filled his every expression with ferocity.

Guy spent more than a minute looking at the letter in his hand while sizing up Lu Yu and Sigrid.

Lu Yu didn't speak, but looked at him calmly, and even looked at the scars on his face with great interest.

"Are you interested in my scars?" Guy put down the letter in his hand and looked up.

"I once heard that Duke Guy's scar was caused by a Goblin Archmage. It happened that His Majesty told me before departure that there was also a Goblin Archmage near the area where the noble competition took place."

Guy waved his hand, pushed back the rest of the guards, and closed the door of the tower.

Sigrid became vigilant, and slowly retreated to a position against the wall.

"Marquis of Seris, if you don't mind, I will call you by your first name."

"please."

Guy sat down, touched the scar on his face, and said, "Your Majesty said bluntly in the letter, if you are willing to find the Goblin Archmage, let the Black Shield Knights cooperate with you."

"If you don't want to do anything, I have sent people to prepare a safe place in Black Shield City. What happened the night before departure will definitely not happen again."

Lu Yu smiled and said: "It seems that the news spread very quickly, is the city of King Yas full of wind and rain?"

"No, His Majesty did not plan to pursue it, and asked me to apologize to you in the letter."

"It's okay, I also know this is the end result."

On the eve of departure to the east, Lu Yu was attacked.

In the middle of the night, four assassins sneaked into Lu Yu's mansion.

Holding a compass that could scan out magic traps, they dispelled several magic circles arranged by Lulutis along the way, and turned into the house through the window in the backyard.

With the help of the compass, everything went smoothly. As long as they touched the bedroom on the second floor, they could kill Lu Yu and Sigrid in their sleep.

If they missed the traps used to hunt the giant bears.

After the assassins learned that the target of the assassination was a magician, they focused all their attention on various small magic traps.

These traps set by Lulutis are located on both sides of the wall, basically at the line of sight of normal adults, and are very easy to detect.

The assassins who focused on these traps would not have thought that there were bear traps lying on the dark ground that were set to trigger when the magic trap disappeared.

The animal trap brought back by Sigrid was specially used by the Adventurer's Guild to hunt and kill large monsters and wild beasts. The lethality caused at the moment of triggering was enough to crush the hard boulder.

No matter how dedicated an assassin is, he will yell if his leg is cut off by a trap.

After waking up, Lulutis held the magic core in her hand and opened all the traps on the second floor.

The assassin rushed up to the second floor to kill Lu Yu, but what he faced was a flow of magical light like light pollution.

The unlucky guy whose leg was pinched off became the only survivor, and was taken away by Duke Buckman who came after dawn.

The attack made Yas III furious, and even went deep into the dungeon to interrogate the assassin himself.

However, the only unlucky guy who survived was only paid through an intermediary to do things, and he didn't even know who the employer was.

Therefore, when Lu Yu left the royal city, he witnessed a fire torture, which was the anger of King Yas III.

"No, I'm going to give it a try. I'm very interested in the corrosive liquid of giant salamanders."

Seeing Lu Yu's firm attitude, Guy told Lu Yu some information about the goblin underground palace in Luotan Plain outside the Black Shield City in advance, and sent Lu Yu a map showing the active areas of goblins.

Before leaving, Guy reminded: "Although I heard that you have traveled a lot and have rich experience, I still want to warn you... With your current injured body, you can't deal with Goblin Archmage. It is very strong."

Lu Yu naturally knew that he didn't want to fight a monster that might already be a gold rank. In order to prevent accidentally bumping into each other, Lu Yu also asked Lulutis to prepare a speed-enhancing potion, so he ran first-class.

Back at the residence, Lu Yu moved a cart full of medicines into the house, and closed the door.

Two days later, the goblin hunting competition officially started, and the noble children led their teams out of the city one after another.

Before leaving the city, they searched among the crowd for a long time, but they could not find any trace of Lu Yu.

Maroney gritted his teeth in hatred.

Lu Yu excited them so much that they had to come to the front line of the Eastern Border, but this guy shrank in this competition?

What a real villain!

But Lu Yu could shrink, but they couldn't.

The adventurers and knights in Black Shield City are all watching their every move. If you just sit and wait for the people below to harvest the heads, and enjoy the rewards yourself, you will still be despised if you pass it to the King City.

What's more, at this point in the matter, it is no longer a competition with Lu Yu.

With so many families forced to participate, killing goblins has become a competition of family background.

No one wants to lose, they all want to be the first.

Rewards are second, the face of the nobility is the most important.

A day later, some nobles who set off returned covered in blood, with several goblin heads hanging on their horses.

Although the guards who accompanied him were not damaged, several of them were bruised and fell off their horses as soon as they arrived in the city.

Several of them had arrow wounds on their backs, and some even had their armor shattered by magic, leaving their flesh and blood shattered.

A team of more than 20 people captured only 17 goblins in total.

Several teams of nobles returned one after another, the most brought back twenty-nine goblin heads, and the few were only three.

The important thing is that the nobles who returned later, Maroni, who won more heads, have begun to reduce the number of people in the team.

No family is unprepared. This group of nobles started with four or five cars of props per capita.

People like Lu Yu who only transported a truckload of potions are different.

Sigrid, who made the last purchase before departure, told Lu Yu the news, and Lu Yu only thought about it for a while, and then showed a clear expression.

"It turns out that the biggest trap of the competition rules formulated by Yas III is buried here."

"Trap?" Sigrid asked curiously, "Master is the head of the goblin?"

"Yes, if you want to prove that you have indeed hunted and killed goblins, you must submit the corresponding number of goblin heads. Then the question arises, how do you get this head?"

Sigrid didn't understand Lu Yu's question, and replied stupidly: "Isn't it obtained by killing goblins?"

"I mean, how should they decapitate?" Lu Yu continued to explain, "According to the information that Duke Guy gave us, although most of the underground palaces have spacious entrances, as they go deeper, the passages will become narrow. Space It limits the choice of weapons and forces the overall formation to be broken up into squads."

"This has also led to the fact that in the narrow area, the only person who actually meets the enemy is the soldier standing at the front. How much damage he can cause to the goblins means how much he can gain."

Sigrid carefully recalled that among the returning noble teams just now, the most seriously injured were indeed the shield guards and warriors carrying shields.

"In a narrow space, if you want to help the fighter at the front make up the knife and cover his advance, the long-range output at the rear must maintain high accuracy. Whether it is an archer or a mage, they need to consider the problem of accidental injury when attacking."

"You saw many soldiers with injuries on their backs just now, there is a high probability that they are teammates..."

Lu Yu glanced at the medicine powder under the medicine pestle, it was not fine enough, and he needed to keep pounding it.

"Let's continue to think about the scene just now. In the underground palace with not enough light, we experienced a fierce battle and barely repelled the goblin. At this time, it's time to cut off the goblin's head."

"The goblins are very familiar with the underground palace they built. If you temporarily repel the opponent, the opponent will quickly gather reinforcements and return. And you beheaded a large number of goblins when cleaning the battlefield. One or two of these heads is nothing, there are a lot of them. It becomes quite heavy, and if you take into account the armor that everyone has to wear to be safe, everyone is equivalent to a weight race in the enemy's old home."

"And don't forget that Black Shield City is far away from the Goblin Underground Palace. If the Goblins counterattack, the cavalry outside Black Shield City will not be able to rescue them immediately."

Passing the crushed medicinal materials to Lulutis, Lu Yu took a sip of water and sat aside, admiring Lulutis' tentacles performing multi-threaded operations.

Lulutis couldn't help but want to tease: "According to what you said, there are only three of us. Isn't it courting death to go to the underground palace?"

"Who said that? I think our configuration is quite reasonable. Sigrid slashes and kills in the front row, and I put a magic shield on her in the back, and make up for the fatal damage by the way, and you can wrap your tentacles around the two of us and control them at any time." With our position, the extra tentacles can take the opportunity to poison."

There are fighters and tanks, mages and summoners, and auxiliary and poison masters. This lineup should be enough.

"Okay, but the group of nobles who hate you for setting up a trap may not want to do something to you. We have to deal with goblins and nobles at the same time. We are in great trouble."

"Also, we can't remove a large number of goblin heads. How do you plan to solve this?"

Lu Yu said calmly, "I've already figured out a solution for this, just wait and see."
