Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

Silence.

Saran's more than one hundred pairs of eyes stared at Ron and others in confusion. There was no fear, no shock, no despair, and even no anger.

It was as if they had known it would be like this, and they were not surprised by their "resurrection".

This shouldn't be the case!

"No need to play tricks, we know your details in general," Ron looked at... a random "Mindatis", "I'm just a little curious, so there was no such person as Mindatis from the beginning? He has always been just your puppet?"

"No, no, no," Saran laughed triumphantly, "Mindatis is a descendant of the Ryan family. Many years ago, he went to Green Swamp Town and found hope to revive the Hailan Empire there - that is, himself."

"I originally planned to absorb him into my army until the end, but unfortunately, you killed him in advance, which forced me to obtain this body earlier."

"At the end, earlier?" Shadow Spirit looked at Saran in all directions a little at a loss, "What are you talking about, cousin? ? You don't want to revive the Hailan Empire..."

"Ah, I know you, Yelena, right? You are a descendant of the von Richthofen family," Baron Saran Lane nodded at her, "When Mindatis was still 'really' alive, he mentioned you to me several times - you decided to follow me after listening to his story, didn't you?"

"Your loyalty will be rewarded, but you should report to me before bringing outsiders to me," Saran Lane's eyes focused on the shadow spirit Yelena, "In this case..."

"I can consider letting you enjoy a free and powerful life first."

"No, you shouldn't do this!" Seeing all this, how could Yelena not know what "enjoy it for a while first" meant? "What you should do is revive, is-"

"I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" Saran Ryan's face turned cold, "You are the same as Mindatis, and the elves in Green Swamp Town: self-righteous and greedy!"

"I am the wisest person, you should all listen to my instructions and complete all orders according to my wishes!"

"So..." The "Mindatis" in the cave sneered at the same time, "Why not just give up themselves and use more efficient puppets directly?"

"Individual abilities can be completely sacrificed, and the collective interests will be preserved and further expanded!"

"Look around you, tell me, which city-states around here can resist 'my' army?! When the scale is further expanded, not to mention the army, even merchants, craftsmen, farmers and civilians can be completely eliminated! The reason for the fall of the Hailan Empire lies in its system and policies. It divides various classes and levels. The contradictions between them have rapidly deteriorated in three hundred years and are ultimately irreversible!"

"And in my country, there will only be two kinds of people: me, and my servants who belong to me both physically and mentally!"

It must be said that when so many people speak at the same time, no matter whether what he said is right or not, at least the momentum is large enough. However, here, some people don't buy it.

"So, is this the reason why you colluded with elemental creatures? Let them help you control the rest of the people?" Devin Booker clenched the trident, "Do you know what consequences this will cause!"

"Tsk, fishman," Saran looked at him with disdain, "So many years have passed, and you haven't left yet?"

"You and your companions have caused me so much trouble! My ritual was disrupted, and even my stone tablet and the gems on it were lost! One of them even fell into the elemental plane - you are simply unforgivable!"

"You, damn it!"

With the roar of a group of "Mindatis", these elf puppets rushed towards the paladin and Ron and others like a swarm of bees.

In this environment, Ron subconsciously took out the lightning gem.

"Are you trying to use my magic against me?" The Mindatis rushed to Ron but were blocked by Sera and Ivy and laughed, "Do you know that I am their master!"

"Come back!"

"No!" Driver screamed, not only the lightning gem in Ron's hand, but even the strong acid gem in his arms flew out and returned to Saran's hand.

And on Devin Booker's body, an ice-blue gem rose up, and together with the fiery red gem thrown by an unknown Mindatis, it rose into the air.

"Only three, one of which was taken away by the water element giant," the Mindatis looked very unhappy, "Did you only find these?!"

"How dare you challenge me! Why not after you find them all?!"

"I'll give them to you after you find them all?" Ivy swung her sword and knocked down a Mindatis. Although these guys were more flexible and agile than those "Wilsons", they could not use spells and tricks, so there was nothing particularly troublesome.

If I must say, there are just too many of them!

On the other side, the furnace that had been stagnant was turned on again, and more Mindatis, Wilson, and even Spike swarmed out of it, and launched a siege against Ron and others.

"Boom--"

The fireball in Ron's hand exploded in the crowd, but it could not hinder the enemy's attack at all.

"This can't stop them at all - that sorcerer, can you stop hiding? Where's your master? Pull him down and beat him up!"

"Are you stupid?! He is my master, can I just ask him to come down?!"

Shadow Spirit Yelena was not going to help either party and just slipped away. She was heartbroken by the elf who she had to call her cousin, and Ron and the others were not in the same group with her.

But Saran obviously didn't intend to let go of this cheap cousin who came to her door. Those puppets would not bypass her at all, but would target the shadow spirits together!

"Break out!" Devin Booker, the paladin, resisted the most puppets by himself, but he was already injured, and the previous battle also exhausted him. Under the siege of a large number of puppets, he had a lot of puncture wounds in a blink of an eye.

"Remember to bring those land people with you!"

"What about you?!" Sera didn't want to let a fish-headed guy steal the limelight, so she desperately rushed to Devin Booker to relieve his pressure, "You have to go with us! Don't even think about being a hero in front of me!"
