Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 88 Princess’s Gift

On the one-meter-high wild grass plain, countless skeleton monsters hidden in it rushed towards the human army.

However, the Southern Army, which had already defeated hundreds of skeleton monsters in the dense forest, was not afraid. They were very confident that these F-level skeletons could be easily killed as long as they worked as a team.

In fact, this is true. The skeleton monsters that rushed in front of Li En were vulnerable and were chopped into pieces by Li En's not-so-profound sword style. It was another wave of magic crystal collection process.

The battle lasted from noon to night, and the F-level skeletons on the wasteland plain were completely wiped out.

Li En didn't even try to feel the joy of breaking through his limits. His physical strength did not increase at all, only consumed.

Although everyone was exhausted, they still harvested 891 magic crystals.

Luck seemed to still be on the side of the Southern Army, but Li En was already feeling a little uneasy.

So when Cobb suggested moving the army camp to East Zone 1, Li En rejected the proposal.

Only a small number of people were left to garrison in East Zone 1, and the army retreated to the middle area outside the dense forest.

The middle area borders the east, west, south and north, and the base camp is temporarily set up here. You can retreat back to the high wall in the north area, or advance to attack the area controlled by the skeleton monsters.

It also makes it easier for the investigation team to return to the main force.

The large force returned to the central camp with many magic crystals for repairs.

Li En returned to the lord's tent and lay down tiredly on the animal skin sofa.

The sofa was not brought from the Green Shade Territory, but was given by the Goblin Princess. During this period, the beloved Li En had received various gifts from goblin women.

Although he accepted the gifts, he didn't give the girls a chance.

Just when Li En was resting, the Goblin Princess came to visit again.

He sat up from the sofa cautiously and put on his coat.

He tried his best not to show off his impressive figure in front of the Goblin Princess, so as to avoid her being jealous.

Li En is so conservative towards women who are not interested in him.

The Goblin Princess has long purple curly hair, a pair of bright and shining big eyes, and a pair of big ears that look like an elf. Her facial features are pretty, but her cyan skin destroys this harmonious beauty.

Li En felt that he would never like Qingpi in his life.

But when he saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, he still maintained the most basic etiquette.

"Princess Julia, do you have something to ask me?"

"I'm here to say goodbye."

Julia said with a smile.

Julia's two goblin maids each held an ancient wooden box carved with intricate patterns.

At Julia's signal, the maids put down the boxes.

"This is my farewell gift to you. I hope you like it."

Li En walked to the wooden box and watched Julia open it, which was filled with medicinal herbs.

While marching and fighting, receiving these medicinal herbs was more of a surprise than food and fodder.

"This box contains the most basic healing medicines. I think your army should be able to use them."

Julia pointed to another box and took out a purple glass bottle.

"This is the life essence specially prepared for you. It can strengthen your body. I hope you like it." Li En took the purple glass bottle, which contained about 5m of liquid medicine.

"Can this strengthen your body?"

"Yes, this is the 'Essence of Life' personally crafted by our Goblin High Wizard. Only our bravest warriors can obtain it. I hope you will always remember our friendship."

Julia has tried her best to show her charm, but Li En still shows no interest. Julia knows that Li En can never be her husband, so she can only settle for the second best and hope to become Li En's friend.

Gaining Li En's friendship would also further consolidate her power and status within the Goblin Clan.

Her brothers and younger brother were all killed in the war. Now she is the only one left in her family. Her uncle is eyeing her covetously and may miss out on her and take away the leadership position that belongs to their family.

This is why she is eager to marry Li En.

Of course, Li En also found out about this situation from the side, but he really had no interest in the Goblin Princess, nor in the power struggle within the Goblins.

In addition, the Goblins had already signed a 50-year peace agreement with him, so no matter who became the Goblin leader, the agreement would be valid. There was no need for Li En to meddle in other people's internal affairs.

"Princess Julia, how can this be so embarrassing?"

As Li En spoke, he put the essence of life into his coat pocket, with no intention of refusing.

Both of Julia's maids looked at her with disdain.

They have been following Her Royal Highness the Princess all this time and have witnessed with their own eyes how the Princess tries to please this man and gives him countless treasures. Unfortunately, this man is always lukewarm and doesn't care about Her Royal Highness the Princess at all. He always goes out with the short-haired girl.

If this man was not the lord of Green Shade Territory, who saved the goblin clan in the Southwest War and signed a 50-year peace treaty, they would have jumped up and down long ago.

"Since Princess Julia wants to leave, I won't stay. We are bound to have a war with the Skeleton Army in the East. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the princess then. It would be safer for her to go back."

Li En said it in a high-sounding manner.

Julia smiled awkwardly, "Well, we did disturb you during this time. We will leave for home tomorrow."

"Your Highness, you must attend the bonfire party tonight. There will be plenty of barbecue and wine."

Li En said with a smile.

In fact, the dry food and fine wine brought by the army had long been eaten up, but the meat had never been out of stock. After all, there were many strange animals living in the Bone Forest, and these animals could be roasted and eaten to last for a while.

As for the fine wine, most of it was sent by the Goblin Tribe.

Julia left Li En's tent in a decent manner with her two maids.

The two goblin maids asked in confusion,
"Your Highness, this human lord clearly has no intention of helping us. Why are you still being so kind to him?"

"Yes, that is the precious 'essence of life'. You should give it to the warrior who is most loyal to you."

"I only hope to gain Lord Li En's friendship. I hope he can lend a hand when I need help in the future. Not to mention 'Life Essence', even if he asks for the Core Magic Stone, I am willing to give it to him."

Li En listened to their discussions and confirmed that this life essence was a good thing. What was the core magic stone? Did the Goblin Princess hide so many treasures?

Just in case, Li En asked Sophie and Cobb for their opinions, and got the answer that the essence of life is an excellent magic medicine that can indeed improve physical fitness.

He looked at a box of life essence and fell into deep thought.

Should I enjoy it by myself or share it with my subordinates?

He picked up a bottle of life essence and gulped it down.

　Thanks to the enthusiastic citizen Lu Xiaoshu for the reward!
