Chapter 33, Goblin Attack
"At that time, Ms. Aurora and you were both in Winter City, because His Majesty the King needed Ms. Aurora to refine the brilliance potion for him. Veronica was the one who entertained me at that time. She was surprised that someone actually chose to walk alone on the mountain road. He came to the Sky Castle...and immediately launched an attack on me." Ryan smiled bitterly, and everyone knew from his face that this was not a good memory: "Later, Mrs. Griffin, who happened to be a guest at the Sky Castle, recognized her. I."
"Pfft~ You actually met that person." Teresa pursed her lips and snickered, like icebergs and snow lotuses blooming: "What on earth did you do in the Sky Castle alone?"
"It's both an experience and a gift. I got the Harpy's Heart that Ms. Dietlinde asked me to find, so I gave it to her." Ryan raised his right hand: "Then I added money to get this one. Space ring.”
"Wow, I'm so envious~" The half-elf looked at the ring on Ryan's right index finger, his face full of envy: "In the forest, only the woodland lords and spellsingers - that is, wizards - can own space rings. "
The wood elves' magic item production capacity is not like that of their compatriots, the high elves, and humans are not a race suitable for using magic. The output of magic items is relatively small. This is mainly because the production of a magic item means that the maker The loss of magic power is considerable and requires a long period of practice and recuperation to recover, so magic items are very precious.
"The heart of the harpy is so precious! Mr. Lane, how did you get it?" Rost also listened to the conversation between several people, and after feeling that they were in a good mood, he also took the opportunity to join in. topic.
"It's very simple. Two steps. The first step is to put your hand into the harpy's chest, and the second step is to take out its heart." Ryan smiled.
"Hahahahaha~"
"Haha~ It's really simple."
"What Mr. Lane said makes sense, just take it out, right?"
"Yeah yeah!"
The words of the Kingdom Knight caused everyone in the convoy to burst into laughter.
"Next time you come to Sky Castle, remember to inform me. I will arrange a room for you. Then I will show you the most beautiful sea of clouds in Sky Castle." The sorceress looked at the sea of clouds in front of her and said warmly to Ryan.
"Wow! Is this an invitation?" Ryan joked with a rare frivolity: "Our mission has just begun, well... If we can successfully complete this mission, there is nothing wrong with going to Sky Castle to have a look. "
"Then it's settled." Teresa nodded and smiled at the man, her lips raised in a charming way.
Several other men present pouted. This knight of the kingdom was really lucky to be invited by Councilor Gloria.
The horse's hooves stepped on the soft meadow, and the carriage moved forward smoothly. Everyone walked up to the mountains and had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. The clouds in the sky and the fog in the valley seemed like a fairy tale world in the sky.
After advancing for more than three hours, the midday sun showed that it was time to eat. Everyone sat on the ground and boiled water for cooking. Ryan once again demonstrated his ability. After the light flashed in the man's hand, the pyre was easily lit. The people in the caravan soon enjoyed hot water and hot food.
After finishing lunch, everyone was about to continue on the road. They had only packed their things halfway when a black spot appeared at the extreme end of their sight. Rost reacted the fastest: "That's? Birger! Birger is back! Something must have happened." !”
Ryan subconsciously stood up from the ground. Birger, dressed in gray robes and riding a fast horse, quickly arrived in front of everyone: "There is a situation. There is a group of goblins ahead, and they are coming towards us!"
"How many people? What level."
"There are about twenty or thirty Goblin Wolf Cavalry and more Goblin Spearmen. They will be here in about ten minutes." Birger responded loudly.
"Ike, Rost, Estelle, you guys come with me! Theresa, you follow Wilt and the others to protect the caravan." Ryan made an immediate decision, and he immediately got on his horse: "Mr. Bilger, you Just keep Mr. Oliver and the others safe.”
"clear!"
The guards of the caravan reacted very quickly, and they obviously encountered this situation frequently. They were well-trained and immediately built a defensive position around the crowd, while Ryan and others got on their horses.
"Ahhhh~ It's coming! Gentlemen, it's time to fight!" The wandering knight Ike was very excited. He got on his horse, pulled out his long sword, and raised his shield. Several wandering knights mounted their horses one after another. Sterre had already ridden forward.
Pull the reins, it's time to fight.
Several people climbed up the hillside, and at the end of their sight, several black spots appeared in their eyes.
They were several short monsters with broad faces, long ears and concave noses, very ferocious faces, all green, holding simple spears and wooden sticks, riding on tall wargs. They obviously also discovered Ryan and his party. .
"Waaaaaagh!" The goblin in the lead shouted, as it was bigger, and the remaining goblins responded: "waaaaaaaagh!"
"Human! Kill!"
"kill!!!"
"Tsk, it's really ridiculous to see a few goblins shouting like this." The half-elf Estelle is a person who has seen the world. Standing on the hillside, the half-elf took out an arrow from the quiver behind him. , set the string, bend the bow, and then there was a sound that cut through the sky.
A goblin riding on a warg was hit by an arrow. It let go of the reins and rolled down the hillside with the warg.
"Whoops~" The second arrow was released immediately after the first arrow. This feathered arrow accurately hit the center of the warg's head.
"A volley of arrows," Ryan whispered.
As we all know, the Ranger profession and the Warrior profession seem to be going in completely different directions. To summarize briefly, the Warrior is melee combat, while the Ranger profession is long-range.
But reality is not a game. In fact, a large number of rangers often use scimitars, long swords and spears to fight, but they are less equipped with shields. Many warriors also know how to use bows and arrows and hand crossbows to attack enemies from long distances, but they are difficult to master.
When a ranger becomes an elite level powerhouse after many years of experience and masters the secrets of archery, Continuous Arrows and Split Arrows become symbols of these archery masters. It’s just that anyone who Ryan knows can use Continuous Arrows and Split Arrows. The rangers are all at least thirty years old.
Well~ Estelle is a half-elf, and of wood elf descent. Each wood elf is a master of archery. Judging from his appearance, he should be no more than eighty years old, which is different from a human in his thirties. There is no difference.
With such a powerful long-range output, Ryan felt relieved. He raised his warhammer: "Forward, warriors!"
"Rush!!!" Before Ike could wait for Ryan to finish speaking, he immediately hit the horse and rushed down the hillside.
"Charge!" The remaining wandering knights also rushed towards the Goblin Wolf Cavalry frantically.
"...Don't these people know how to obey orders? Forget it, they are just some goblins anyway, so they shouldn't be a problem." When Ryan saw that even Rost had rushed down, he decisively gave up command.
Ike was seen holding a long sword and rushing directly towards the Goblin Wolf Cavalry who was rushing in front. The Goblin also shouted and urged the Warg to charge. At the moment when the two clashed, Ike adjusted his body slightly and hid. After passing the spear, the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, cutting off half of the goblin's body.
Goblin red blood splashed in the air, which further aroused the ferocity of several wandering knights. The moment the Goblin Wolf Cavalry engaged them at close range, they were rushed to pieces. The short Goblins The long knives and spears in their hands could hardly harm these wandering knights. On the contrary, the wargs still had some fighting ability, but they soon died under the swords of the wandering knights.
Goblins have never been a symbol of strength. These races, whose status among greenskins is lower than that of orcs, are a combination of poor strength, poor morale, and poor command. Goblin armies usually lose one person in the war. If they achieve more than that, they will face the defeat of the entire army, and their leader is the fastest one. Compared with these scumbag goblins, although the wandering knights have no title or title, they are all professional soldiers who have undergone standard military training. , and also has a reasonable set of equipment. It is very easy to defeat these Goblin Wolf Cavalry.
"Hey~" A warg was shot in the eye and rolled down the hillside.
The half-elf bent his bow again and nocked an arrow.
"Hey~" Another warg was shot in the chin. It hit its head on the ground, rolled its body, and fell into the thick grass beside it, whining incessantly.
"What a skill! Estelle, people say that the wood elves' volleys are like pouring rain, and today they are indeed well-deserved!" Ryan did not rush forward on his horse, he just dismounted and stood beside Estelle, the enemy Too weak, he has lost interest in taking action.
"Where we are, my archery skills are not considered superb. Every adult in the forest has practiced archery for at least twenty years." The half-elf's movements are elegant, his long hair is flowing, and he is extremely chic.
"Twenty years doesn't mean anything to you, but to humans... this may be half their lives. Estelle, just call me Ryan." Ryan looked at the few wandering knights who had put those few The goblin wolf cavalry was beaten to the point of running away, leaving a few corpses behind and fled in the original direction.
"Twenty years is not that short for me, Ryan, and it is also for my father. When I was considered to be able to stand alone at the age of thirty-five, he finally left me and left this world." The Goblin Wolf Cavalry has left the range of the half-elves, and Estelle put down her bow and arrows: "But decades have passed, and my mother is still as beautiful as before. I look even more beautiful than her now." Be old."
"Is this why you don't want to stay in the forest?" Ryan thought for a moment and smiled dumbly.
"Out of place and weak. When I get along with them, I always feel that they treat me like a baby... That's probably not my illusion. It's not like being with humans. I feel like an elder, and Like a giant." The half-elf put the short bow behind him and made a contemptuous expression on his face: "Anyone in the forest who can hold a bow can't master the two skills of continuous arrows and splitting arrows, but in the forest What about here? I dare say that in Nord, a complete army of lords will have no more than twenty rangers like these."
"That's right, but human soldiers can develop a certain combat effectiveness after training for about half a year." Ryan saw that a few wandering knights had completely defeated the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, so he got on his horse and said, "Where are the elves?"
"...Well, it takes at least ten years to become a qualified forest guard, because elves always learn slowly." Estelle also got on the horse, and the two waited for a while, while Ike and others were still busy showing off themselves. He was brave and brave, and Rost had returned, holding two goblin ears in his hand: "Something is wrong, Mr. Lane."
"The number is too small, right?" Ryan spread his hands with no panic on his face: "The information we received is that there are more than thirty Goblin Wolf Cavalry and more spearmen, but The number of Goblin Wolf Cavalry we have seen so far is no more than fifteen, and the spearmen have also disappeared. This is obviously a trick, Rost, Goblins are always cunning."
Yes, compared to those Orcs, the green-skinned Goblins are very, very reluctant creatures who know how to think more. They may just rush up to hit people and throw stones, and then rush up to hit them. the difference.
"We were deceived! Other Goblin troops diverted us! Mr. Oliver and the others are in danger!" Rost exclaimed, but he relaxed immediately: "Ha! Look at my brain, Mr. Oliver They are safe, extremely safe.”
"Yes, so clean up the battlefield and let's go back." Ryan smiled.
Sure enough, when a few wandering knights joined them and rode back to the convoy, a tragic scene appeared in front of them.
The mercenaries and guards went out. They rushed towards the goblins excitedly. The situation was almost one-sided. Oliver's guard Fuck shouted his name. He raised his shield and easily blocked the long shot thrown by the goblins. With his spear, he rushed towards the Goblin spearman with long strides. The short-legged Goblin was quickly overtaken in panic. The long sword slashed down, and red blood splashed on Fake's face. Fake Cut off the goblin's ears, and then continue looking for the next target.
Wilt, the leader of the Blood Ax Mercenary Group, used his two-handed sword to kill as much as he wanted. The bad situation he had been facing for a while seemed to have been sufficiently vented at this moment. Wherever he waved his two-handed sword, everywhere They were all the broken limbs and arms of the goblins. Under his leadership, the mercenaries defeated the goblins.
The leading Goblin leader immediately shouted: "Go~go!"
Before he finished speaking, a ball of white ice shot from a distance, hitting the head of the Goblin leader, directly cutting off his food from the leader's neck. The head fell to the side, and several mercenaries were snatching it away. Dedicated to the master who unleashed the Frostbolt.
"Should I really be more polite sometimes?" Ryan subconsciously touched his neck, thinking that angry women are really strong.
Especially the women of Gloria.
"Get out of the way, none of these greenskins can run away today! Get out of the way!" Teresa stood in the middle of the motorcade. She raised her staff. Dark blue arcane energy was gathering around the purple staff. Then, under the guidance of the sorceress, he tilted out: "Frost Nova!"
Along the center where the woman was, the power of magic froze the entire fan-shaped area within a hundred meters in front of her. All the goblins who wanted to retreat were sealed in the frost, including a few who didn't have time to retreat. mercenaries.
The battlefield was completely silent.
This is the power of magic.
Goblins are really weak~
