Chapter 36 Goblin Attack (2)
“It’s a goblin tribe.”
Paladin Ronald made his judgment at the same time.
“But they are being driven by higher-level demonic beasts. I predict it is the Dragon Crystal Flame Burst Tree that we are about to hunt.”
“Lord Ronald…”
Grisia tightly hugged the staff in her hand, and a trace of worry appeared in her emerald blue eyes as she gazed at the tall knight standing before her.
“Don’t worry, Grisia, I’m here.”
The young paladin smiled confidently at the young girl, his hand inside his silver gauntlet clenching his longsword tightly.
“Guild Master Hel, let us fight.”
Hel nodded with a serious expression. With a swing of his arm, powerful Dou Qi spread to the armor and battle sword he was wearing. The leader of the Cyclone Wing Adventuring Party shouted loudly and issued his command.
“All warriors and swordsmen, form a defense with me. Mages and archers, retreat and provide covering fire. Priests, prepare for healing! Remember to conserve your energy for the upcoming battle!”
Hel also noticed the exquisite young lady rushing over from not far away. After a moment of thought, he issued another command: “Also, everyone, please protect Miss Verafia!”
Although Verafia was a powerful Gold Rank Mage, most magic-class professions had very weak close-combat abilities.
Not to mention, in Hel’s opinion, this young lady mage, who seemed to be of noble birth, did not have much practical combat experience. She might even get scared if a small magical beast got close.
Even if it wasn’t for the sake of befriending her, as the leader of the team, Hel had to ensure the survival of the most powerful offensive force in his adventuring party… As for the young swordsman beside her, Hel hadn’t really considered his strength from the beginning.
The Cyclone Wing Adventuring Party was indeed an elite adventuring party. The moment Hel issued his command, the adventurers with swords and shields quickly formed a defensive line. The mages and archers behind them had also prepared their spells and arrows.
“Gurgle!”
At the same time, under the silent night sky, countless pairs of eerie green eyes suddenly lit up, and sharp screeches tore through the heavy and solemn atmosphere.
Sensing that their tracks had been exposed, the goblins no longer concealed their movements. The green-skinned creatures, exposed under the moonlight of the twin moons, brandished crude shields and wooden clubs, their hissing cries like a tide rushing towards the intruders.
“Attack!”
Arrows carrying powerful Dou Qi and elemental fluctuations stirred by frenzied demonic power tore through the silent night sky, striking the charging tide of goblins like a torrential downpour.
In just an instant, several small, frenzied green-skinned creatures were blown apart by the powerful force, splashing sticky, disgusting green blood onto the ground.
However, a single-digit casualty was utterly insignificant to a goblin tribe known for its numbers. In the next moment, the goblins at the forefront had already charged to the adventuring party’s defensive line!
Under the radiance of the twin moons hanging high in the night sky, the goblins brandished their crude wooden sticks and bone clubs, their oily green eyes burning with abnormal scarlet ferocity, hissing and lunging at the defensive line built by the adventurers.
Hel snorted coldly, and the longsword he drew gathered powerful Gold Rank Dou Qi. He slashed downwards diagonally, cutting the leading goblin charging forward into two halves.
The extremely powerful Dou Qi instantly extinguished all its life force. The goblin’s shattered internal organs, along with its viscous green blood, were flung onto the ground.
“Pathetic trash controlled by… Brothers, take down these green-skinned pests!”
As Hel’s voice rang out, the elite warriors of the adventuring party also swung their Dou Qi-infused weapons. In the deep, dark night, as cold silver metal glinted under the moonlight, the goblin warriors at the forefront were decapitated one after another, falling onto the mud-soaked ground stained with green blood.
At the same time, the mages holding their staffs completed their complex and obscure spell incantations again. The gathered elemental power formed incredibly powerful spells, instantly blasting the bodies of more than a dozen goblin warriors to pieces!
However, the casualties of their companions did not bring them the slightest fear. On the contrary, they were provoked to ferocity by the bloodiness spreading in the air. The small and gaunt goblin warriors hissed incomprehensible words, charging at the adventurers’ defensive line without regard for their own lives.
The warriors of the Cyclone Wing Adventuring Party maintained their defensive line with their powerful strength and rich combat experience. For a time, the roars of Dou Qi, magic, and arrows almost enveloped the entire silent night sky, slaughtering the goblin warriors charging at them again and again!
As the “powerful combat strength” heavily hired by the adventuring party, Verafia certainly had no intention of slacking off. The girl, along with the adventuring party’s mages, used magic to inflict heavy casualties on the tide-like green-skinned goblins.
Somewhere, Swordsman Reske, harboring resentment towards a certain arrogant young lady, suddenly exposed a flaw, allowing a goblin chieftain, considerably larger than its companions, with yellow-brown fangs dripping with viscous saliva, to break through his defense and rush directly towards the golden-haired young lady who was casting spells behind him.
“Whizz!”
A small but incredibly hot fireball materialized in an instant. Thrown casually by the young lady, its scorching high temperature easily burned the goblin chieftain to ashes.
Reske was startled and quickly drew his sword, rushing to the front line.
However, Verafia seemed to have not noticed Reske’s small thoughts. She merely patted her fair little hands and looked at the goblin green tide charging forward fearlessly, her cute little face blinking with curious big eyes.
“Hmm, Ig, do you think there’s something odd about these goblins?”
“Odd?”
The black-haired young man paused the movement of the “End” tightly held in his hand, turning his gaze to the young lady with a puzzled look.
“Of course!”
Verafia cast another fireball, blasting a tall and strong goblin away, nodding her head slightly.
“Although these little guys have always been used as cannon fodder by various races, I, this young lady, have never seen goblins that don’t know fear at all… Well, except for those driven mad by Orc shaman priests’ frenzied spells.”
Verafia tilted her small face in confusion, her crescent-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed, and guessed.
“Could these demonic beasts have learned such frenzied spells too? No, they are just a few Gold Rank little tree spirits, how could they be so smart?”
Although she held doubts in her heart, Verafia’s expression remained relaxed, her big eyes showing curiosity.
She was not worried about the goblins in front of her.
Although the goblins in front of her appeared more ferocious and numbered in the hundreds, outnumbering the adventuring party by several times, even if she were not here, the entire tribe of goblins being wiped out would not cause much harm to the members of the adventuring party.
