20: Chapter 20 Goblin Attack, Abandoning Wife and Daughter!

Clearly, the lord world was not meant for human enjoyment.

On the first day of arriving at the Lord Continent, except for the special case of Xu Xuan, who was airdropped into the Japanese region, other lords were living leisurely lives within their respective national zones.

Some felt that since they didn't have to go to work anymore, being a primitive tribal chief who just ate and waited to die while living shamelessly with female savages was quite nice.

Others began to treat this place as a leisure vacation spot, playing wilderness survival and experiencing nature.

However, at midnight last night, when the system announced the arrival of monsters, those lords who were completely unprepared immediately lost their footing and were finished.

At 8:00 AM today, the first wave of monsters arrived on the Lord Continent. Those who sought pleasure and play would pay a price in blood for their first day of indolence.

As for those unlucky bastards in the Tokugawa Alliance?

They could only say they were born at the wrong time, encountering a warmongering prehistoric tyrant like Xu Xuan.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was fleeing through the night, suddenly heard strange cries coming from all directions in the forest, and he instantly panicked.

At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was still with his family: his wife Tokugawa Yoshiko, his son Tokugawa Shinta, and his daughter Tokugawa Mio.

It could be said that for a middle-aged man like him, starting out was equivalent to having a population of 400, with his wife and children all listening to him; this was also why he was elected as the alliance leader.

His family consisted of four lords with a total population of four hundred, and his wife and children could serve as retainers and generals.

However, after Xu Xuan's attack and their overnight flight, of his family's 400 savages, some died and some were scattered, leaving only a bit over two hundred savages by his side.

After this night of fleeing for their lives, Tokugawa Ieyasu's group was already exhausted. They finally waited until dawn and wanted to rest, but then Goblins began to appear all around them.

Hearing the strange cries of the Goblins, Tokugawa Ieyasu showed a look of despair.

"Father, there seem to be monsters around us. What should we do?"

Tokugawa Mio, a JK girl wearing a high school uniform, hid by her father's side with a face full of fear.

Tokugawa Ieyasu gripped the stone axe in his hand and shouted through gritted teeth, "Prepare for battle! It's just a bunch of monsters, how strong can Goblins be!"

The middle-aged man's words lifted everyone's spirits, thinking to themselves, how powerful could Goblins really be?

They still had over two hundred savages, and with the whole family gathered together, any difficulty could be resolved.

Thinking of this, the family of four regained their confidence.

Yet, they heard the continuous rustling sounds coming from the surrounding woods.

Countless shadows flashed through the forest, and accompanied by a horn blast, those green-skinned monsters with pointed ears, hooked noses, and hunched backs came howling out.

They were originally full of confidence, but when they saw these monsters in reality for the first time, fear couldn't help but rise in their hearts.

The ugly Goblins stuck out their tongues, drooling as they shouted, "Women! Delicious women!"

Monsters could speak human language?

No, that was because the lord system provided translation, allowing everyone to understand the languages of foreign races, including those of monsters.

Those Goblins saw the humans and acted like mad dogs. The tribal warriors standing in the front row were directly pounced upon; these monsters used wooden sticks and teeth, using hands, feet, and biting all at once!

A muscular tribal warrior had his shoulder bitten by a Goblin, which tore off a large chunk of flesh.

Seeing this scene, the savages, whose morale was already low after a day of fleeing, directly collapsed.

However, because the lords were still by their side, although the savages were breaking down, they had not yet fled. Unless the lords ran first, the savages could only bite the bullet and fight.

At the same time that Tokugawa Ieyasu was suffering the monster attack, adding fuel to the fire was the fact that Xu Xuan's Floating Island was currently approaching this area.

Seeing this scene, Tokugawa Ieyasu showed a terrified expression.

This!?

Was the heavens out to destroy him?

Even if he led the two hundred-plus savages to defeat these Goblins, he would still have to face Xu Xuan's pursuit. This truly drove him to a dead end.

Moreover, as it stood, even if Xu Xuan didn't come, the three hundred-plus Goblins before them alone were already biting them relentlessly.

Although the Goblins' weapons were still in the early Stone Age, consisting of wooden sticks and stones,

The Goblins were unafraid of death, fighting like wild beasts, pouncing and biting in wave after wave. The tribal warriors fighting on the front lines were directly routed by the Goblins' charge.

Under such circumstances, Tokugawa Ieyasu was doomed to die...

Now... now he could only harden his heart!

There was a saying in China about a brave man cutting off his own arm. In his favorite Three Kingdoms, even Liu Bei could abandon his wife when he was defeated.

One who achieves great things cannot be too restricted.

He wanted to live; he wanted to scrape by and survive on this Lord Continent!

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at the rapidly approaching Floating Island and gritted his teeth slightly: "Don't blame me. If you must blame someone, blame this Chinese man!"

After saying that, Tokugawa Ieyasu took advantage of the chaos to pull his son: "Shinta, come with me."

The son who was pulled was stunned for a moment: "But Father, Mother and Sister are still commanding the savages in battle..."

They looked back and saw the wife and daughter still at the very front, constantly stabilizing the savages' morale and letting them continue to slaughter the Goblin monsters.

Tokugawa Ieyasu gritted his teeth, his face ashen: "Never mind them. As long as the two of us can survive, we will definitely come back to avenge them in the future. It's all that Xu Xuan's fault! Remember, if you want to blame someone, blame that Chinese man for causing the deaths of your mother and sister!"

As he spoke, this old fellow pinned the hat of hatred onto Xu Xuan's head.

Tokugawa Shinta glanced back. His remaining conscience told him that he should call his mother and sister to retreat together.

But looking at the approaching Floating Island and the howling monsters eating human flesh, Tokugawa Shinta closed his eyes in fear: "Let's go, Father."

This father and son, without notifying the wife and daughter, left the mother and daughter to cover the rear and fled with a small portion of the savages.

Tokugawa Mio watched the battle line constantly closing in, as tribal warriors were knocked down one after another by the Goblins' wooden sticks and stones.

And in the sky, Xu Xuan's Floating Island was rapidly approaching. They already had nowhere to run!

Tokugawa Mio clenched her fists and turned back to shout: "Father, Mother, you guys run first, I'll fight them to the end!"

She originally intended to stay behind to cover the rear and let her parents escape, but who would have thought that when Mio turned her head to look, she found that her father had actually already run away with her brother.

And he had abandoned the two of them and fled without even notifying the mother and daughter!?

"Father? Brother?"

At that moment, an expression of indescribable despair appeared on the face of the girl in the high school uniform.

She had wanted to cover the rear herself, only to find that her father had long since abandoned them. This feeling of being discarded by her own family brought her a massive shock.

She wasn't even afraid of death, but she never expected to be abandoned by her family.

It's over...

Watching the step-by-step approach of the Goblins, Mio gripped the weapon in her hand in despair. In her mind, she already imagined the tragic fate of being dragged back to the caves by the Goblins.

However, at this moment, a strange whistling sound came from the sky.
