Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 136 Kill and Penetrate

"laugh!"

The iron-gray sword light flashed in the air.

Along with the sharp and painful wails, there was the dull sound of metal piercing through flesh.

Scarlet blood mixed with cold raindrops flowed down the surface of the sword, seeping into the mud and dyeing the green meadow into a brown-red color.

Xia Nan placed his right foot against the wooden fence in front of him and pulled the beheading sword out from the gap in the fence.

The hot breath of the remaining body temperature condensed into mist in the air, and the black hair on the forehead had already been soaked by the rain.

The villagers of Cuixi Village, although affected by the "taunting" of the Red-maned Bear Goblin, no longer fled and returned to the village to fight.

But other than that, their sanity was not affected.

It even aroused their fighting spirit, making them more courageous as their minds became clearer.

Facing the goblin's attack, under the command of Adeline and the village chief, a simple defense arrangement was completed very quickly:

——The thorny hardwood fence that had been prepared long ago was pushed by the villagers to the edge of the moat outside the village.

The special geographical location close to the Misty Forest has brought relevant benefits to Cuixi Village, but it also often has to face ferocious monsters that come out of the forest to find food.

Low-level monsters such as goblins make up the majority of them.

In this situation, they also summarized a set of simple response methods and deployed relevant defense facilities.

On the side of the village facing the forest, a deep trench was dug and sharpened wooden stakes were inserted into the bottom in advance.

Without the command of elite individuals like the "Ground Goblins", a small group of goblins with less than 20 members would find it difficult to break through the defense on their own.

However, the goblins that are now pouring in like a tide have obviously exceeded the scope of a "small group".

They didn't even need to go around the side. In just a dozen minutes, they easily filled the trench with corpses. The trench had been dug by the villagers after taking time out from their busy farming schedule and taking months to dig.

Roaring and hitting the fence continuously.

"Hold on! Don't back off!"

"Our wives and children are all behind us."

"Don't let any green bastards in here!"

The hunched and skinny old village chief stood at the forefront without flinching, and his old and powerful voice of encouragement had not stopped since the beginning of the battle.

The elderly, women and children who should have been hiding in the cellar or evacuated urgently were also under the control of "ridicule", moving objects, transmitting messages, and doing what they could behind the front line.

"Hey!"

Two more goblins were pierced through the chest by the iron-gray sword that pierced out of the fence.

They fell to the ground twitching, and before they could completely die, they were stepped on by the goblins that followed behind them.

There were too many goblins, so Xia Nan didn't even need to aim. He just kept stabbing with his sword, and the goblins fell one by one.

To be honest, this is not suitable for him who possesses [Spin Slash] and [Fang Hunting], which are suitable for high-mobility mobile combat.

But if we take into account the civilians who need protection in the rear, it is the simplest and most effective way of defense.

Some villagers held up the fence that was about to fall down under the attack of the goblins, while the rest used weapons such as pitchforks and wooden axes to attack the enemy through the gaps in the fence.

And several adventurers, under the command of team leader Adeline, were dispersed throughout the front line and each contributed their own efforts.

Abi carried his wooden shield on his back, and his original one-handed sword had been tied back to his waist - the length was too short, making it difficult and more dangerous.

At this moment, he was holding a pitchfork borrowed from the villagers tightly in his hands, and stabbing the goblins excitedly.

The armor, already dirty after days of adventuring in the misty forest, was now splattered with the blood of the enemy.

Adeline, who had rich experience in fighting goblins, wandered around the front lines, checking and patching up the loopholes in the defense line, and from time to time helped the villagers who were exhausted to buy time for their rotation.

In contrast, Berg, who is also a veteran adventurer, finally stopped trying to break free from the control of "Taunt" when faced with the massive attack of goblins.

Instead, he came to the rooftop of a nearby bungalow, and taking advantage of the height difference, he poured his arrows at the goblins.

However, one could still see a strong sense of uneasiness and anxiety on his face, and it was obvious that he had not returned to normal.

At present, the impact seems to be minor.

After all, there were too many goblins and they were all gathered together.

Even if the aim is off, just randomly shooting an arrow into the greenskins will usually hit the target.

Two in a row, or even three in a row are common.

As for Shanan...

The beheading sword has the advantage of length, but if it changes from cutting to stabbing, its sharpness and strength are enough to deal with these fragile low-level monsters.

Coupled with his enhanced physical fitness, he basically does not need to rest and can maintain long periods of uninterrupted combat.

The efficiency of one person is almost equivalent to that of four or five ordinary villagers.

This made the defense line he was responsible for almost the most stable side on the entire battlefield.

In this way, the adventurers and the villagers divided the work and cooperated with each other, and for a while they actually withstood the siege of hundreds of goblins.

And if this continues, it is foreseeable that in a few dozen minutes, the battle will end with the victory of humans.

But even so, neither Adeline nor Shanan had any relaxed look on their faces. Instead, they looked serious and cautious.

Because they all knew that the real danger...had not yet arrived.

"call……"

Gasping, Xia Nan grasped the hilt of the sword, turned his wrist and exerted force to pull out the sword that was stuck in the bone gap.

I couldn't help but look into the distance.

The bear goblin with red mane was carrying his pale bone stick with a hole in it, looking at him and the others from afar.

Standing there, he looked like a military inspector supervising a battle.

For some reason, after it used its taunting skill on everyone just now, it had clearly successfully controlled the Green Blood Team and the villagers and prevented them from escaping.

The bugbear did not go any further and took the initiative to attack.

Just like now, watching the goblins die one by one.

Even with just a little command, letting the goblins charge towards the weak points in the fence, or going into battle personally, the defense line can be destroyed in an instant.

Just stood there quietly.

As if waiting for something.

Xia Nan was naturally not naive enough to think that these brutal monsters who treated other intelligent creatures like livestock would be kind enough to let him and others go.

It's like the sword of Damocles hanging over your head.

Since the bear goblin didn't move, he could only secretly pay more attention and be alert to the development of the situation.

The only good news.

Cuixi Village is not too far from Hegu Town. It only takes half a day to get there if you quicken your pace. Adventurers often pass by.

They just need to delay for a little while, not too long, just a few hours, and maybe there will be...

"boom!"

The sound of collapse suddenly came from my ears.

Xia Nan's heart sank instantly.

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, all I saw was a cloud of flying dust, villagers lying on the ground, and... green-skinned goblins rushing into the village from the collapsed fence.

……

"boom!"

The dirty dark brown wooden stick fell down violently, shaking the body of the man on the other side of the fence who was supporting it with both hands to prevent it from collapsing.

His trouser legs were covered with mud and grass, and his patched clothes were soaked with sweat. Blood was dripping from the wound at the corner of his eyebrow, covering half of his cheek - that was the wound he had received from being hit by a goblin's stick when he was helping other villagers move.

There were waves of soreness in my forearm muscles, and my throat was dry and sore from my intense and rapid breathing.

But Jim had no intention of giving up.

It was not only because of the spirit that was instantly lifted by the blood-red sound wave, but also because of his wife and daughter who were helping to search for weapons in each house behind him.

If he took a step back, it would not only be him who would die, but also his family and the entire village.

And I have heard from passing adventurers about the tragic scenes that occurred in the goblin nests.

Make their will stronger.

It’s just… humans, after all, have limits.

Jim himself, perhaps because he had exchanged more than three silver coins at the association for the goblin he met on the way home a while ago, was able to have a full meal with his family.

Full of energy.

But other villagers were not as lucky as him.

Facing the continuous attack of goblins like a tide.

Even though there is no thought of giving up at all, the limit of the body is there.

Not just anyone can ignore or even surpass the breakthrough.

"Ho...ho..."

Because of excessive force, the sound squeezed out of the throat unconsciously entered the ears.

Using all his strength to hold the fence, Jim glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye.

Uncle Evan, the honest man who lives next door to him.

I am over forty years old and there is nothing noteworthy in my life.

Just work in the fields, water the plants and eat.

It seems that he was sick for a few days a while ago, and now he is coming up again even though he is not fully recovered yet.

Now he looked so exhausted that he couldn't even speak.

Jim spoke up quickly, thinking of asking the villagers who were resting in the back to take turns to fill the opponent's gap.

But just opened my mouth.

He saw with his own eyes that Uncle Evan's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground as if exhausted.

Then, there were cracks appearing on the surface of the fence, mud splashing out as the fence gradually collapsed, green hands poking out from the gaps between the sills, and the sudden high-pitched neighing of the goblins.

"boom!"

The already shaky wooden fence collapsed in an instant.

Like an inverted hourglass, the goblins that were blocked outside by the thorny hardwood squeezed out from the gap with a shrill laugh.

The sudden increase in force made Jim, who was already close to his limit, unable to hold on any longer. He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

Looking at the villagers falling down one by one and the collapsed fences in front of him like a chain reaction.

His eyes were filled with despair.

"It's over, it's all over..."

Jim's mind went blank.

His body was overexerted, and the extremely shocking scene before him made him lose the ability to think for a short period of time.

His face was dull and his eyes were dead.

Even though the first few goblins that rushed into the village through the gap were already in front of him with their fangs bared, he did not react at all.

And that's when.

hold head high--

The high-pitched wolf howls mixed with the noise caused by high-speed moving objects and friction in the air made Jim's eardrums hurt.

In his dazed eyes, there was a blurry shadow of a wolf's head made up of strong wind, grass clippings and blood.

"Boom!"

A strong airflow whistled past, sweeping away wood chips that scratched his cheek, leaving a tiny wound.

The goblins in front of him were still charging forward, but their shoulders were empty.

Ugly heads gushing with blood and with twisted smiles still on them flew around and fell to the ground along with their headless bodies.

Xia Nan glanced at the man sitting on the ground in front of him.

Without saying a word, he turned around and rushed towards the gap.

Behind him, Adeline, who had hurried over a step later, called out:
"Don't panic! Hold on!"

"Hold it all to me!"

The battle line has not yet completely collapsed.

Although the gap is gradually widening, they have already killed a large number of green-skinned goblins before that.

There weren't many people coming in.

As long as they could temporarily plug the hole for a few minutes and prevent the goblins from rushing in and besieging the villagers in other parts of the front line from the inside, they would have to wait until the backup fence was in place.

There is a turning point!

As for the most critical few minutes, which require facing the attack of countless goblins and determine the survival of Cuixi Village, who can withstand it...

Xia Nan has given the answer with his actions.

The long and high-pitched wolf howls echoed throughout the battlefield. The goblins, who were torn apart by the fierce wind pressure and had no intact skin or flesh left on their bodies, were blown up and thrown down by the strong wind like toys.

The iron-gray sword light was like the scythe of the god of death reaping lives. It often only flashed in the air, and at least three goblins lost their heads.

[Fang Hunting], [Spinning Slash], [Fang Hunting], [Spinning Slash]...

repeatedly.

The black-haired figure in iron armor crushed all visible greenskins within the attack range like a lawn mower, moving swiftly and swiftly, bringing with him cold winds and blood.

Swing the sword, move, swing the sword, move...

When the locks of Shanan's chain mail were filled with the stinking blood of goblins, there was not even a single green-skinned goblin that could hit him head-on with their ridiculous wooden sticks.

The instantaneous explosive power granted by [Tooth Hunter], the strong endurance under the exaggerated physique, the beheading sword and [Spin Slash] that are 100% effective in open areas...

The accumulation of more than a hundred days and nights of experience since the time travel has turned into him, who is now like a war machine, slashing and leaping in the green tide.

There is no need to hold the hilt of the sword and stab awkwardly through the gap in the fence anymore.

Letting go of his hands and feet, being able to move, chop and use combat skills at will, has undoubtedly brought Xia Nan into his comfort zone.

The agility attribute that was previously improved due to [Tooth Hunting] reaching level 3 also took effect with the silent battle, making the body wrapped in the blurred wolf head almost only visible as a shadow.

Feeling the stagnant touch from the palm of your hand as the sword swung, the sharp scream that suddenly stopped, and the blood, flesh and internal organs splattering in your sight.

Xia Nan once again felt the exhilarating experience of reaping what one can without restraint under overwhelming strength.

I even had an inexplicable illusion in my mind.

There is no need for any defense line or setting traps in advance.

These hundreds of goblins...

I can kill them all by myself.
