“Thrall, do you think you and your minions can escape from Durnholde? You’ll all die here.”

“Enough words, Skarloc. Come at me, like a real Warrior!”

As Thrall moved, so did the chains that were wrapped around him. He looked like a moving castle; a strong will for battle burned in his eyes despite his terrible body condition. Everyone had their doubts as to whether he would be able to put up a fight against this battle instructor.

Captain Skarloc didn’t seem like a big fan of torturing Tauren, so Thrall didn’t have as much rage this time. His damage output wasn’t as great as during the previous fight.

Lu Li and the others didn’t sit around either, but didn’t join in on the battle between Thrall and Skarloc. Instead, they quickly focused on the two semi-bosses that Skarloc had brought with him.

Skarloc always travelled with two subordinates – one was a Durnholde Veteran and the other was a Durnholde Prison Guard.

These two were no easy targets. Right at the start, Lu Li and the others were blasted by a Soul Shriek from the Durnholde Prison Guard and were all tossed into fear. This nearly caused a wipe, but fortunately, everyone had their own survival mechanisms so no one ended up dying.

Thrall had Hachi Chan healing him the whole time, so he could sustain the fight for a little while longer.

Thrall was actually much stronger than Captain Skarloc, but what caused him trouble was the System of Dawn. There was no way the System would give Lu Li’s team a Boss model – in that case, the players wouldn’t be necessary anymore.

Thrall was currently an elite model, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t win against a Boss alone.

They focused down the prison guard first, the veteran second, and then turned against Captain Skarloc last. Skarloc was a Paladin class with high defensive stats and could also heal himself.

However, top Thieves like Water Fairy and Lu Li didn’t give him the slightest chance to heal

From the beginning to the end, Captain Skarloc never found a single chance to recover his HP.

“Loot! Let’s go!”

Lu Li watched as Thrall jumped on his horse and left. He didn’t even bother to wait for the others, so all Lu Li could do was to try his best to have his team members keep up.

They had no time to recover, and had to utilize the gaps in between or participate in the battles later.

Remnant Dream looted, but she had no time to check what she had picked up. As soon as she was done, she hopped on her mount and caught up.

“Mr. Thrall, where are you going?” Hachi Chan was confused.

“Thank you, my friends. Thank you for saving me. I apologize for my behavior beforehand, but I cannot escape yet. I need to find Taretha, do any of you know her location?” Thrall asked.

“Sir, the situation is really urgent right now. I suggest you evacuate to a safe area first,” Lu Li couldn’t help but interrupt.

“I won’t do that; I won’t let Taretha stay in danger and escape on my own – I’m no coward. We’ll head to Tarren Mill now!” Its wasn’t easy to change the decision of a great chief.

“Alright, Tarren Mill it is.”

Lu Li just wanted to quickly finish the mission, but the System wouldn’t allow it.

They would occasionally encounter people who tried to stop them, but none of them posed a real threat.

Thrall suddenly stopped when they got close to Tarren Mill and made a signal to have everyone dismount. “Be careful, we’ll have to sneak in and find Taretha secretly.”

They then snuck into the stable, where the accident happened.

A horse, which seemed to have been taken care of by Thrall, greeted him passionately when they entered. This was noticed by a group of patrols nearby and the others were exposed alongside.

“Fight! Finish it as soon as possible, and don’t leave the vision of healers.”

The stable wasn’t an ideal place for battle; Lu Li could only pray that no one would die here.

The Darkmoon Card was too precious, so it would be be best to not use it at all. Lu Li also felt like the Epoch Hunter wouldn’t be as easy as the two bosses from earlier. Blackmoore also hadn’t appeared either, but it was difficult to say when he would.

Remulos had better be handing out some Legendary equipment after this quest.

After they had taken down these patrols, Thrall didn’t bother hiding anymore. He brought Lu Li and the others straight to the position of the church.

However, Taretha was nowhere to be found within.

Lu Li felt like something was wrong; it seemed like someone else had stepped into this business before them.

It had to be the Epoch Hunter; no one else would be able to do this.

“This is a trap!” Thrall roared, then charged ahead and blocked all the sentries that were rushing in. They were surrounded by the soldiers of Tarren Mill.

“Battle-formation! Block the entrance to the church. Mr. Thrall, please don’t rush out!” Lu Li shouted.

Although Lu Li couldn’t command him, Thrall still listened to his advice. He wasn’t stupid; the soldiers could easily kill him with their numbers.

Players could use potions and scrolls, and fought with intelligence under their commander. On the other hand, the NPC soldiers were just rushing in ahead. As long as they stood their ground, no matter how many soldiers came, they posed no threat at all.

When the last soldier died to Thrall’s blades, the battle finally ended.

“If she’s not here, then she has to be in the inn.”

Although Thrall looked like he was in a rush, he could still calmly analyze the situation.

They rushed to the second floor of the Tarren Mill and Lu Li and the others finally saw Taretha there.

She was bound by magic chains that could only be broken by a higher-level caster.

Of course, you could kill the caster of the chains too.

“Thrall, you’ve escaped!” Taretha was surprised to see Thrall.

“It’s thanks to these friends, but what is this evil magic? Who did this?” Thrall said frantically as he attempted to tear off these magic chains but failed. Taretha even showed an expression of pain on her face.

“As long as you’re safe, Thrall.”

Taretha wasn’t worried about herself at all.

“Tell me, what do I do?” Thrall still hadn’t grown into a great leader yet; he was helpless before a situation that he couldn’t solve.

Lu Li watched the scene and felt like something burdened his heart.

After Taretha, Thrall would slowly approach the Great Chief position, but he never showed anyone the slightest hint of weakness. Unfortunately, this woman who could handle his weakness was bound for a tragic destiny.
