Imperial Crown.

Chapter 457 Who is surrounding whom?
Chapter 485: Who is surrounding whom?

"Move closer to me and shrink the formation." Looking at the influx of goblin troops, Hoyaz lowered his eyelids and shouted the order.

Too careless.

They had only fought with ordinary goblin villagers and militiamen before. Such opponents were not well organized, so naturally there was no difficulty at all, and they basically had never encountered any tough opponents.

Based on this, even if these goblins have really received professional training, they shouldn't be in any trouble.

Although he and Thor each took the lead, before the battle began, Hoyaz and Thor both believed that as long as they sneaked into the enemy camp, these goblins would definitely fall into chaos; even if they couldn't, these greenskins would not have the courage to leave the camp to fight.

But now, Hoyaz began to doubt his judgment.

He never expected that he would be discovered when he and his men tried to approach the camp in the dark, even after knocking out the sentries with enchanted crossbows - these goblins actually knew how to set up secret sentries!

Moreover, after these goblins discovered them, not only did they not fall into chaos, but they chose to counterattack as soon as they realized they were attacked!
The goblin army that appeared before them, although its formation was a little chaotic, at least it had a formation, and it was changing its formation with the sound of the horn.

Even among the human troops, such a fast reaction speed and formation coordination ability can be considered elite!
The rainforest is not far behind us, but if we turn around and run now, we may not be able to outrun these greenskins who live here.

We can only fight once.

"Heh, a bunch of idiots." Jiujiu Linga touched the pointed head and a cold and cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, the troop configuration on his side was not much different from that on Raven's side. Both sides had air forces, and neither side could prevent the other from checking their movements.

So, how come these humans think that they are the only ones who know the importance of protecting the logistics camp from being invaded, and we goblins don’t know it?

The forwards are given to Raven to eat, the reserve team is the backbone, and the four "Forest Soul" legions following Jiujiu Linga are the real elite!
They train once every 3 days, have a meal of meat every 5 days, and each team of 10 people has 2 wise earth elves as commanders.

Jiujiulinga said excitedly: "You humans regard us goblins as monsters. Today I will show you who is the brainless beast!"

“Shoot the arrows!!!”

The bow and arrow is an invention that all intelligent creatures can create without the need for teaching or communication. Most goblins may not have the intelligence to create bows and arrows, but they have no difficulty using them.

Arrows rained down.

"Raise the shield!" Hoyaz shouted loudly, but he did not raise the shield. Instead, he drew the long sword from his waist, swung it hard into the sky, and the fighting spirit infused in it spread out in the air like a fan.

The fighting spirit left his hand, revealing a white color without any attributes. Then, under Heyaz's full concentration, layers of water vapor condensed around the fighting spirit and turned into a light blue water curtain.

"Heavenly Snake Water Curtain!"

Under the filter of the water curtain, many feather arrows lost their power. They staggered and fell from the air, turning into wooden sticks that posed no threat to people.

As soon as the first round of arrows stopped, Hoyaz gave another order: "Everyone, charge!"

The attacking camp was prepared to make a quick buck and run away. They only brought a small number of crossbows and had no capital to engage in a long-range battle with the goblin army.

Therefore, even if we are at a disadvantage in numbers, we must rush forward to connect the battle lines and avoid the embarrassment of being passively beaten.

In the dark night, the goblins' snake-like vertical eyes emitted a green light, and their green skin appeared a cold gray under the moonlight.

The short arms waved weapons, and the ugly big mouth opened, revealing fangs full of saliva.

A cruel roar shook the sky.

"Wow!!!!"

The Eagle Army's offensive was silent.

In battle, one needs to conserve energy as much as possible and any unnecessary movements must be eliminated. Often, just one breath can mean the difference between life and death.

They marched in unison, and the army advanced forward like a wall, without fear or deformation.

Hoyaz was at the front of this silent queue, his heartbeat steadily quickening as he fixed his sights on a hobgoblin who was also commanding on the front line.

Hobgoblins and Bugbears are both larger creatures among the Goblins.

The difference between the two, apart from the fact that hobgoblins are more intelligent and slightly weaker in strength, is that bugbears usually have dense hair and beast-like noses, while hobgoblins have sparse hair and a bald head.

For example, the giant earth demon that Hoyaz was staring at, his bald head was reflecting the moonlight, the fangs under his bald nose were baring his lips, and a few strands of bloody meat were hanging on them; his body was covered with leaf armor, and the armor leaves made of animal tendons looked like inverted fish scales; his two thick arms each held a two-handed sword.

Hoyaz was counting silently in his heart.

5, 4, 3, 2...

1!

"Roar--" The earth goblin opened his mouth and let out a roar, and his arms were filled with fighting spirit, causing his arms to suddenly swell twice. Then, the two swords slashed at Hoyaz's waist and abdomen from the left and right like scissors.

Hoyaz swung the sword in his hand to the right to deflect a sword, and at the same time raised his left leg, covered it with fighting spirit, and took the blow from another sword.

With a dull bang, Hoyaz's body drifted gently to the right, and a wisp of fighting spirit floated out from his hand and wrapped around the throat of the earth elf.

The pale white fighting spirit turned blue and took on the attributes of green waves. It was about to become a rope, but it was broken by the fighting spirit rising from the neck of the earth goblin!

"Damn it." Hoyaz cursed under his breath.

He originally wanted to use the second-level combat skill "Whale Binding Rope" that his father had bestowed upon him not long ago, but his current proficiency was obviously not enough, and he was interrupted by the opponent before he could complete the move.

"Ha, what a hairless monkey!" The hobgoblin laughed. "Thin, shriveled, and with weak fighting skills."

"Let me teach you what real fighting skills are.

Double Kill! "

The two swords were raised diagonally to the left at shoulder height, covered with burning brown-green poisonous fighting spirit, and then as if pulled by some force, the two swords slashed towards Hoyaz's throat at lightning speed!
Heyaz snorted coldly, and with the sound of water, the azure blue fighting spirit turned into armor that covered his entire body!

"A second-level extraordinary being!" The Earth Elf's pupils shrank. "How could there be such a young second-level being!"

But Hoyaz had no intention or obligation to explain to him.

Holding the long sword with both hands, the blade was lifted up from the lower right side. The green fighting spirit wrapped on it shook off the dark green on the sword. The power erupted from Raven's strengthened body instantly knocked the two swords away.

The sword blade turned, pierced through the armor with a clang and pierced into the earth goblin's chest.

Then he exhaled his fighting spirit, and the surging water flow brought by the blue fighting spirit exploded in the earth elf's chest. In the spray of blood, his head flew high like a cannonball.

A trace of fighting spirit rose up, grabbing the ear of the earth goblin in mid-air, turning into a blue noose, and pulling it down again.

"Tsk, if it had been used earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble." Hojaz complained, cut off the hobgoblin's ears, smashed its head into the goblin team, and said disdainfully:

"Who else is coming to die?!"

The greenskins around were frightened for a moment and some of them didn't dare to move forward!

In comparison, the others brought by Hoyaz were not as brave and explosive as him.

For example, Gran.

This top student, who was born into a business family and graduated from Griffith College, is now qualified to command a brigade on his own.

Unlike his usual eagerness to be the first in everything, Ge Lang in the army is extremely low-key.

His broken eyebrow was hidden under his helmet, and his armor had no markings, making him no different from an ordinary soldier.

The troops under his command, like his personality, pursued perfection and unity, and formed a square formation as neat as bricks.

beep!

Gran blew the whistle, and dozens of Eagle Soldiers in the same row, including himself, thrust out their spears at the same time as if they shared the same thought.

The goblin soldiers performed bravely, but they were too short.

Unless they are promoted to extraordinary level, physique often represents strength; and their short stature makes it impossible for them to wield weapons that are too long.

The spear in Gran's hand knocked away the mace in the goblin's hand and pierced through the goblin's leather armor, causing blood to spurt out with the sound of broken bones.

The spear continued to pierce the chest of the goblins in the last row. Gran decisively put away the spear, and the tip of the spear splashed a splash of blood on the ground.

As they put away their guns in unison, blood formed a neat line in front of the Eagle Army.

Di-

Blowing a long whistle, Ge Lang led the Eagle Army to move forward in an orderly manner, stepping on the blood, ready to bring a new round of killing.

"Ow-!!"

At this moment, a bear goblin with thick hair held a huge stone ball in both hands, with fighting spirit burning on his body, roaring and rushing towards them like a chariot.

And Gran, as if he saw nothing, blew the whistle gently in his mouth.

A beep, short and sharp.

Step forward, move forward, and fire.

Lightning burst out from Gran's hand, coating the spear with a layer of purple light.

As smoke and dust rose, the spear blade pierced into the stone ball, and the burst of lightning and fighting spirit instantly blew the stone ball into pieces!
Almost at the same time, the other Eagle Army soldiers raised their spears. Three spears pierced the bear goblin's left hand, two pierced his right hand, one spear penetrated his unarmored calf and nailed into the ground, and five spears were pressed against his waist!

Even the powerful Bugbear could not resist the combined strength of more than 10 people, and fell to the ground with a howl.

Then the spears were retracted and thrust out, piercing into his thighs along the bottom edge of his armor, and then going straight into his abdomen from his thighs. His internal organs had been crushed before he could even stand up.

Gran didn't even look at the bugbear. This is how the battlefield is. A single extraordinary person can never make up for the difference in numbers. This is the meaning of the army's existence, and it is also Gran's motivation for hiding himself in the forest.

Glancing towards the center of the battlefield, Gran read out Hoyaz's flag signal:

Keep attacking!

Jiujiu Linga's face looked a little ugly.

Even he had to admit that this had brought out all the results of his usual training.

But those damn hairless monkeys were like iron. Instead of being repelled or suppressed, they began to push back towards the village wall!

There are two legions with more than 2 goblin warriors; the other side has less than 1!

Despite a 5-fold difference in troop strength, they were unable to defeat the enemy and instead seemed like they were surrounded!
"What about the battlefield in the north? When can people be transferred over?" asked Jiujiu Linga.

A hobgoblin nearby muttered:
"Just now, the commander of the 1st Forest Soul Legion, Chief Iron Stomach, sent a message..."

"The battle situation is intense, please give him a little more time!"

……

Chapter 486: Using force to defeat tricks

The northern battlefield.

"Chief Iron Stomach, Lord Jijulinga said that he will give you enough time, so there is no need to rush." ​​The goblin who delivered the message ran to Chief Iron Stomach and reported.

Tiewei's slightly nervous expression relaxed a little: "Tell Lord Jiujiulinga that I will complete the task soon and wash these two-legged sheep and send them to him!"

The goblin who sent the message looked at Tiewei with admiration:

"Yes, Lord Chief!"

Chieftain was his title, Iron Stomach was his name.

Goblins value personal strength and bravery, and only the strong can be respected.

Chief Iron Stomach is not a natural shaman like Chocho Linga. He does not have any special abilities. The only reason he was able to become the chief of a tribe of goblins and was appointed by Chocho Linga as the commander of the 1st Legion of Forest Souls was because of his wisdom.

The battle situation is still tense, but Tiewei is not impatient.

Even though he discovered that these Eagle Soldiers were by no means mercenaries with no discipline at all, and that their combat effectiveness exceeded his expectations.

Because he had seen through the Eagle Army's weakness - that is, the number of Eagle Army members was too small!

There are only about 2000 people.

Judging from the combat effectiveness demonstrated by this Eagle Army, it would be a real hassle if they relied on camps and trenches to engage in positional warfare with the legion led by Tiewei.

However, the Eagle Army did not have the opportunity to dig trenches, and the Goblins were the defending side.

No matter how strong the combat power is, it is impossible to contain a goblin army of 1.

Tiewei had anticipated this and had sent out a team under the cover of night when the battle began, going around the rear of the Eagle Army.

Calculating the time...it’s about time.

"boom!"

A burst of firework suddenly exploded behind the Eagle Army's formation. Under the red fireworks, a group of goblin soldiers wearing scale armor rushed out of the forest howling and headed straight for the rear of the Eagle Army!
Tiewei waved his arms excitedly: "Everyone press forward and defeat them!"

Thor was immediately furious when he saw this.

Before he could even try his tricks, the goblins started playing tactics with him!
Originally, he wanted to delay the battle, causing as many casualties as possible before the end of the battle, and gain more merits, but now he couldn't care less:

"Give the order to Magid and have him take his men to beat up those greenskins who are here to mess with me!"

"Everyone else, follow me and smash the wishful thinking of these greenskins!"

Magid soon received Thor's orders.

As the son of Koru, the political officer of Ek Territory, Magde should have stood on the side of the outsiders, but his father Koru required him to stand with the locals.

Magid didn't understand why yet, and he didn't ask.

Because he believed in his father.

In the past twenty years, he had never seen his father make a mistake.

Moreover, his father taught him a truth through his own actions: if you do something, you must do it to the best of your ability!
Since Thor has entrusted the retreat to him, Magid will never let Thor down - for the self-esteem of the soldier and for the honor of the family!

Either this raid will be defeated, or his body will be trampled to pieces!
But he didn't want to lose his life in such a confusing battlefield.

Magid suddenly took off his helmet. Under the moonlight, the left half of his face was pale and the pupil of his left eye was a light pink.

As a person with albinism, he rarely shows his face like this.

"hiss--"

Magid puffed out his chest and took a deep breath.

His chest swelled up like a bellows, and light blue violent fighting spirit flowed from his mouth and nose.

When his chest swelled to its limit, Magid put his fingers in a weird position around his mouth and then blew out air suddenly.

Light blue storm fighting spirit blew out from his mouth and turned into light spots the size of pigeon eggs, which scattered like jumping notes, and as if with intelligence, they wrapped around the ankles of dozens of Eagle Army soldiers around him.

The last bit of air rushed through Magid's throat and turned into a roar:
"rush--"

The Eagle Army soldiers whose ankles were wrapped in light spots felt the wind blowing under their feet, stirring up layers of fallen leaves on the ground.

They took big strides forward, their speed as fast as that of a galloping horse.

And Magde is at the forefront of this team.

This is the second-level storm combat skill that Koulu carefully prepared for his son, Swift Foot!
Led by Magid, more than 40 Eagle Army soldiers, wrapped in light blue wind, suddenly rushed into the elite goblin team that came from behind.

The light was so dazzling that even Chief Iron Stomach on the distant command platform could see it clearly!

Then he saw that the team that had been in good order fell down like a field of green wheat!
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a battle tactic." Chief Iron Stomach comforted himself: "The battle tactic is over, we still have the advantage in numbers... advantage!"

But comforting yourself cannot change the situation of the battle.

He soon discovered that Magde's charge was not a flash in the pan.

The Eagle Army soldiers on the top formed a military formation and pushed out the team he had arranged to go around the rear step by step!
At the same time, the front line was also shaking, and the guy using iron fighting spirit rushed towards his command desk like a mad dog.

This made Chief Iron Stomach unable to believe his eyes.

Sandwiched on both sides, but broken by both sides!
"This isn't just a mob. This is the main elite of the Eagle Army. The one leading them must be Raven's favorite general Eric!"

"They are here to carry out the decapitation tactic!"

Iron Stomach flicked his tongue and roared loudly:

"Hurry, hurry and tell Lord Jiujiulinga that we need support here, we need support!!"

The news soon reached the ears of Jiujiu Linga who was standing by the southern wall of the village, making his face look even uglier, and even the top of his pointed head seemed to sag a little.

Jiujiu Linga did not believe what Chief Tiewei said. He was not so foolish as to think that these were Raven's trusted elite soldiers.

However, whether what Chief Iron Stomach said is true or not, it will not affect the direction of the entire battle.

At this time, the situation on the southern battlefield was also on the verge of collapse.

The Eagle Army did not suffer many casualties. Even if someone was injured, they would be transported back to the center of the army as soon as possible. However, the Goblin Army of Chirping Linga was losing men all the time.

This is the difference between races. No matter how much he trains, even if he trains his soldiers into the elite among goblins, they cannot compare with the Eagle Army composed of humans.

"Ugh……"

Closing his eyes, Jiujiulinga was able to imagine the current situation of the entire battlefield.

With his camp as the boundary, green thorns guarded the north and south sides of the camp. The Eagle Army was like two groups of black worker ants, cutting the thorns bit by bit.

The offensive can no longer be contained.

"I was thinking of saving it for the future to give those tigers and wild boars a little shock."

Jiujiu Linga opened his eyes and looked at the sky without any sadness or joy:

“I didn’t expect it to be used in a place like this.”

"Come, set up the altar. I will offer sacrifices to the great and supreme Magnubiye...

Offer a sacrifice! "
