The individual strength of the Goblin race is very weak. If human strength, agility, and magic power are all 1.0, then Goblin's strength is 0.4, agility 0.6, and magic power 0.3. It is said that the most powerful Goblin King is only at the level of a peak high-level warrior.
Goblins have very strong reproductive capacity and a large population. The population of the entire Goblin race is more than three times the population of the Nalan Empire. With such a large population base, enough Goblin warriors can still be selected.
Goblins are short, about 1 meter tall, and are good at climbing mountains and digging holes in the ground. This is somewhat similar to dwarves. There were 100 goblins in this team that attacked the convoy, and they were considered elite among the goblins. They sneaked in from the Iron Bi Mountains and have been committing crimes in the Earl of Garin for more than a month.
The commander of this team of goblins is a genius among the goblins, and his mental agility is comparable to several lents. The broken bridge on the Doma River a few days ago was his idea. It was indeed a good move to use the rain to cut off a piece of wood and destroy the bridge on the main road, and then lie in wait on the side road.
It had been 5 minutes since Rogge and his party were attacked. Ofina drank a bottle of magic potion and was still treating the wounded. Except for one archer soldier who was shot in the head and died on the spot, there were no other deaths in the entire team.
Rogge shot a total of 6 goblins to death, and was taken care of like Ofina. Although he was not injured, he had no chance to fight back. The archers and soldiers killed a total of 5 goblins. These green dwarfs hid behind the trees after shooting arrows. They blended perfectly with the surrounding environment and were difficult to detect. The archers of the Empire's transport team, whose archery skills were average, tried their best but could only achieve this point.
Although the Imperial Transport Team and the students have stabilized their position, this is with Ofina as the core. Once Ofina's magic power is exhausted and she can no longer hold on, the entire team will collapse. Ofina now has 1,000 magic points left. There are 3 bottles of magic potion she made before, which can restore 600 points. The magic core staff has 550 energy points stored in it, totaling 2,150 points. It can last for a while.
The situation is not optimistic. God knows how many arrows the goblins have left? If they keep shooting like this, they will be dragged to death sooner or later.
William didn't have any good options, so now he could only rush into the woods and fight in close combat. With his strength, he can easily kill ordinary goblins instantly when he gets close. It is a feasible way to kill more archers to relieve the pressure on the team. So he shouted: "Gray, come with me into the woods! Sonya! Sonya? Where are the Sonya people??"
Sonia had already sneaked into the pine forest. This forest environment was like a dragon entering the sea to the assassin. The girl has nothing to be afraid of. With her gift of perfect perception, even elite goblins can't hurt her for a while. Since the attack, Sonia has quietly killed 5 goblins, relieving a lot of pressure on the right side.
"Sonia has already gone to the right, teacher, you go to the left!" Rogge said. Sonia greeted him before leaving. The girl felt that this young man who had defeated her with his shooting skills and brains was more reliable.
"You follow the captain's command! Protect Ophina!" After saying this, William and Gray rushed to the woods on the left. The senior swordsman was very fast, and he was in front of a goblin in an instant, and cut off the opponent's head with one sword, cleanly.
Gray behind William was held back. A team of 100 goblins, 20 archers, 40 skirmishers, and 30 elite warriors, evenly distributed on both sides. The Goblin elite warriors found an opportunity to separate William and Gray after they entered the woods. Five warriors surrounded Gray, preventing him from moving forward.
There were even more Goblins around William, including 10 warriors and 10 skirmishers, including the most powerful Goblin Commander. The Goblin Commander had already seen that this was the strongest person in the team, so he surrounded him with heavy troops, throwing nets, blowing arrows, and throwing spears at him. William moved left and right, using advanced steps to maneuver around, but was not hit for the time being.
The intrusion of William and Gray attracted a lot of goblin attention, and the attention that Rogg received was gone. Relying on the enemy positions he had memorized before, he singled out the Goblin shooters in the distance to kill, and in a short time he had harvested 5 more heads.
At this time, there were only two goblin archers and four skirmishers still shooting arrows on the left side, and their firepower was much less. Goblin Skirmishers can also shoot arrows, but their accuracy is much worse than that of Goblin Archers. They mainly serve as a suppressor. All the Goblin elite warriors and a large number of skirmishers on the left are besieging William and Gray, leaving almost no free melee units.
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Transport Captain decisively ordered: "The first team charges on the left, follow the command of the deputy captain! The students of Holk Academy, except for the defenders, the rest of the melee fighters also follow! Rogge, continue to shoot at the enemy shooters on the left! "
The captain wanted to support William and Gray, free the two most powerful men, quickly defeat the enemy on the left, and gain victory.
The cunning goblin would not sit still and wait for death. A goblin skirmisher on the left threw a signal flare high at the command of the goblin commander. When the signal reached the target, it exploded in the air and red smoke rose. The goblin on the right saw the signal and rushed towards the convoy under the command of the adjutant. 15 elite warriors and 15 skirmishers pressed forward under the cover of 8 archers, and the pressure on the right side increased sharply.
Rogge killed two more archers on the left and decisively went to the right to support them. There are also 3 Imperial Archer soldiers on the left, enough to deal with 4 skirmishers. Four imperial infantrymen and two archers were too injured to move. Now the only remaining soldiers on the right side of the convoy were the two infantrymen and the transport captain in front of Ofina, as well as a young archer.
So the main force on the right became students. Except for 2 swordsmen and 1 gun dancer who went to rescue William, the remaining 7 students were all there.
Rogge used his martial arts double arrow to reduce the number of goblin elite warriors as much as possible.
Sonia was still killing archers one after another in the woods. There was no long-range suppression here, so the archers relied entirely on her.
Ofina's healing spell almost never stopped. Even she couldn't bear the continuous high-intensity spell casting, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
Lunt and another defender student guarded Madeline and a flame magician student. The two mages were unable to function before, but now they finally have a use.
"Don't panic! Hold your ground, the magician will attack! Goblins are very weak when charging into the formation, so you must hold your ground!" the transport captain shouted.
Indeed, the Goblins were fine for sneak attacks and sieges. They were even stronger than William and were restrained, but they were far from enough for charging into formation. Even elite warriors and imperial infantry can defeat two enemies without losing.
The goblin elite warriors and skirmishers charged to half the distance. Even though Rogge shot and killed them with all his strength, there were still 24 in number. The front finger of Madeleine's staff shoots out thin purple electric wires, and a range of control magic paralysis is activated.
The four goblins that rushed toward her were hit by the electric grid, shaking a few times and then unable to move. The fire mage student's explosive fire technique was activated at the right time, and flames erupted from the middle of the four goblins, swallowing and burning them in an instant.
The Explosive Flame Technique also blocked the Goblins behind for some time. Madeline continued to concentrate on casting spells, preparing to release the Paralysis Technique again. At this time, a sudden change occurred, and a cold light appeared from behind Madeline, hitting her heart. Fire mages and archer soldiers were also attacked at the same time.
The 100-man Goblin team consists of a total of 90 archers, skirmishers and elite warriors, and the remaining 10 are Goblin stalkers. Goblin Stalker's stealth ability is very strong. He has endured it since the beginning of the battle, and finally reached the side of the convoy and suddenly attacked.
"Be careful of sneak attacks!" Rogge had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately issued a warning and bent his bow to draw an arrow. He used his remaining energy to launch double arrows and hit the stalker who was attacking Madeleine and the Flame Mage with great accuracy.
The sneak attack behind him also arrived. Rogge turned around and the dagger grazed his waist. Rogge took advantage of the situation and raised his leg to kick horizontally, kicking the short and thin stalker away. Then he spun in a circle to release his strength, knelt down on one knee and finished him with an arrow.
Ofina still received special attention, and all three stalkers targeted her. After hearing Rogge's warning, Ofina immediately turned around and cast a blinding spell. The two stalkers who sneaked up from behind suddenly let out harsh and unpleasant shouts, but they still stabbed Ofina with the daggers in their hands.
Ofina dodged one dagger's stab, but not the other. The girl turned slightly sideways to avoid the vital point, received the blow on her right shoulder, and fell to the ground.
The last stalker flew down from the roof of the car, his body relaxed, and he wanted to use his greatest strength to kill the light magician who had brought a huge obstacle to their ambush.
Just as the stalker was about to succeed, a spear roared out, piercing him with great force and nailing him to the body of the dragon carriage. It turned out that Lunt reacted and threw the gun in his hand to resolve Ofina's crisis.
The goblin who sneaked up from behind recovered and found Ophina's position before stabbing her again. The transportation captain turned around and swung his sword, cutting off a goblin head. Rogge shot another one with an arrow.
"Nana!" Rogge was very anxious when he saw that Ofina was injured, and hurried over to help her.
Ofina's face turned pale, she took out a bottle of antidote from the space necklace and drank it. The poison on the stalker's dagger is extremely poisonous and cannot be removed by blessing. Fortunately, there is an antidote. Lunt protected the two magicians and joined the imperial soldiers here. He pulled out the spear he had just thrown and asked: "Sister, are you okay?"
Ofina, the eldest sister who is 18 years old and two years younger than Lent, said weakly: "If something happens, Big Stupid Bear, please go to the front to help. They are all fighting. Brother, go to the right to save them."
The imperial infantry has engaged the Goblin elite warriors. Everyone is one to many, and the fight is very hard. Fortunately, the captain is stronger and can help his teammates while fighting back. Lunt turned and joined the fray, swinging his gun widely to hold up the battle line.
Rogge saw that Ofina was not injured and had drunk the antidote, so he helped her lean on the wheel. There have been several screams just now, and I am afraid that the remaining archer soldiers on the left have been attacked by stalkers and are in danger.
Rogge quickly came to the left to investigate the situation. There were 4 human corpses lying on the ground, 3 archers and 2 infantrymen. The infantrymen were the wounded from before. When they saw the stalkers appearing, they fought back and were unfortunately killed. There are also 4 corpses of goblin stalkers, and all 10 stalkers are dead.
The result of the sneak attack on the left was determined. Rogge returned to Ofina and shook his head at her. Ofina's sad expression disappeared briefly, and she pursed her lips to absorb the remaining magic power in the magic core staff.
Ofina's injury made Rogge very angry, but the angrier he became, the calmer his mind became. This was a characteristic he had developed since childhood. Roger is very good at controlling his emotions and making the right choices.
Rogge was analyzing the battle situation while shooting arrows. The battle situation in the woods on the left was unknown, but with William's strong strength and the reinforcements rushing over, there should not be a big problem.
There are no more arrows coming from the far right side. Sonia must have cleared away all the goblin archers.
The forward transport captain was in the middle, with two infantrymen on both sides, followed by Lunt and the defender students. The five of them held up shields and struggled to resist the attacks of nine goblin elite warriors and nine skirmishers. Everyone was injured.
The flame mage student has exhausted his magic power and is shooting randomly with the bow he picked up. Madeline's paralysis spell is very effective and she is still working hard to release it, but she probably doesn't have much magic left.
Ofina was injured, the dagger on her shoulder was not pulled out, and she was too weak to stand up.
"Nana, don't worry, you heal yourself first, and we can win until Teacher William and the others finish the battle and come back with reinforcements," Rogge said.
"People will die." The lives of the five people in front of them are in danger at any time, and Ofina can't wait any longer. Her own injuries were no longer cured, so she gathered the last of her magic power to release the sword of light, and the dots of light turned into six suspended lightsabers. The magic power was exhausted and Ofina felt dizzy and exhausted. She bit her lip with her little tiger teeth, used the sting to cheer up, and concentrated on controlling the lightsaber.
Six lightsabers flew quickly into the battlefield ahead, stabbing left and slashing right, making it dazzling. But each sword was controlled very carefully, and he killed 12 goblins in just a few strokes. I'm afraid the goblins didn't expect that an injured light mage who could only lean on the wheel could have such a powerful explosion.
Ofina was exhausted, her lightsaber shattered into white light and disappeared, but the victory was already established.
