Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 50: The Bully King

"Well... forget it." Driver stuck out his tongue and obediently followed the others in crouching down and covering his mouth and nose with clothes.

Ron hid behind a rock and threw his hands vigorously, throwing several tightly wrapped handkerchiefs into the territory of the crazy frogmen.

With a snap, before the Madwugs could react, the handkerchief fell to the ground and was shaken away. The drug powder inside instantly dissipated and enveloped the small territory of the Madwugs in an instant.

These crazy frogmen had no time to dodge, and their moist skin covered with mucus quickly absorbed the powder, and the effect of the drug was quickly absorbed with their breathing. Before Ron and his men could reach their limit of breath-holding ability, in the blink of an eye, there was no more crazy frogmen standing outside.

Driver immediately wanted to rush forward to reap the harvest, but was quickly stopped by Ron: It can be seen that the goblins have not yet fully understood the wonderful uses of this "weapon". After the powder diffuses in the air, the particles will remain suspended for quite a while. Rushing in at this time will only get him caught.

Ron hasn't had time to learn the art of creating wind, otherwise this attack would have been twice as effective with half the effort - of course, even now, the effect is already enough.

A breeze blew past Ron and the others from behind, blowing away all the powder on the Madfog's territory.

"Go!" Ron shouted, and several of his companions immediately rushed forward and slashed at the crazy frogs who were already limp and unable to move, quickly harvesting them.

It's not that Ron can't recognize natural medicines with stronger toxicity, but that medicines with this kind of toxic effect are more cost-effective: poisons that are so toxic that they can be life-threatening if inhaled are very easy to misuse, just like Driver. Even a little inhalation may lead to various consequences, which is really not worth the loss. It is better to use this kind of paralyzing powder. Anyway, they have hands and feet, so it is enough for them to come up and finish off the enemy like they are doing now.

The only things left to deal with now were the remaining Madwugs in the cave and their king.

"I'll go and take a look first!" Driver took the lead and rushed into the Madwug's cave. Then, Ron and the others heard the sounds of fierce fighting and the thunderous roars of the Madwug's warnings.

But the crazy frogmen outside will never stand up to support them.

"This reckless fellow!" Ivy said "tsk", and immediately set up the tower shield and rushed in. Ron and his men arrived soon after.

Under the light of the torches in the cave, we can see that Driver is struggling with three bullywugs with his agile skills and small body. The bullywugs inside don't seem to be as strong as those outside. Although they are similar in physique, when Ron and his friends fight with them, they feel that they are just like silver and pewter. They are far inferior to the hunters in terms of strength, agility and physical fitness.

"Why is this happening?" Ron hid under the shadow of the tower shield and shot a flaming arrow through the throat of a bully frogman. "Logically speaking, these should be guards protecting the king. They should be stronger than those outside, right?"

Although the cave was deep and the Madfogs kept pouring out after hearing the alarm, the coordinated attack of Ron and his men were unable to put any pressure on them.

"If I were that king, I wouldn't have placed strong tribesmen around me," Sera said in a muffled voice as he chopped off the calf of a bullywug. "I heard that they are like wild beasts, with the strongest guy as the leader?"

"If you place those less powerful guys beside you without giving them tasks to do, won't they challenge their leader every day? Won't the leader become tired and weak in this round-the-clock battle?" "It's better to let the old, weak and sick stay in the cave, so that it can crush them at any time to enhance its prestige. The hunters outside will have to run around for their lives and have no time and energy to think about other things."

"You sound like a philosopher when you talk about this," Victoria said in amazement as she cast a blessing on the team. "It's hard to imagine that you can understand such a troublesome social issue."

"That means your so-called 'social problems' are not a problem, they are no different from wild animals!" Sera laughed and rushed deeper into the cave. Just as Ron was about to speak out to stop this overexcited barbarian, Sera came back from the depths at a faster speed.

But this time we used a flying machine.

"Pfft!" Sera spat out a mouthful of blood. "Damn it, no wonder that bird king doesn't need guards - he himself is the most powerful guard!"

Before Sera could finish her words, a terrifying frog croaking like thunder in her ears interrupted her words. Just as Ron was dizzy with tinnitus, a huge humanoid monster rushed out from the depths of the cave.

Ron and the others immediately understood why Sera had such feelings.

The "king" was twice the size of his tribesmen, with dark green skin covered in rough patches, and turbid mucus flowing freely between new and old scars. His muscles were knotted and he was furious. Even the dead Swampmaw could not give Ron and the others such a shock.

In its hand, it held a huge wooden stick, and its body was covered with a huge cloak woven from a bunch of ornaments collected from somewhere and broken rags. When it "jumped" on the road, it made a rustling sound, as if thousands of troops were marching.

The king was not polite at all to the intruders. After casually glancing at the corpses of his tribesmen on the ground, he stepped over the mad frogs who were not yet dead and rushed towards the crowd howling!
"boom!"

Ivy stepped forward, and her relatively slender body and heavy tower shield collided with the opponent. The Madwug King stopped where he was, and Ivy was unable to stop until Victoria and Sera behind her worked together to stop him.

"I thought such a high cave was built here for my convenience!" Ivy laughed bitterly, panting heavily, "It turns out it was built for it!"

"I've never heard of such a big bullwug!" Victoria was also shocked, "Not to mention seeing one with my own eyes!"

"Magic Missile!"

But at this moment, obviously, he could not care about so many things. Ron immediately began to chant spells, and magic missiles rained down on the Madwug King like crazy; Victoria's eyes flashed red, and invisible threads emerged from nothingness, trying to hinder the opponent's actions; Driver took out a short bow, and an arrow instantly turned into a rain of thorns and poured down on the king; and Sera and Ivy rushed forward again, using their bodies to block the Madwug from moving forward!
