Chapter 156 Fireball!
Chapter 156 Fireball!
What is this guy saying?
The saintly woman was dumbfounded.
Zi'an was completely bewildered.
The surrounding slaves didn't understand either.
All they knew was that the enemy hadn't arrived yet.
……
"Tell the slaves to open the wooden wall!"
Baron Talis gave orders to Hick and Camor.
After several attempts, he finally confirmed that the wooden wall at the top of the slope was harmless.
But he still felt uneasy.
We still have to let the slaves do it.
How cowardly.
Baron Stern frowned, somewhat displeased.
It's clear that he was still worried about the situation when he arrived.
What if there really is some kind of ambush?
"Go! Open the door!"
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Driven by two bodyguards, a group of slaves walked to the middle of the wooden wall and shakily opened the door made of round logs.
The gate was pushed open, and finally a gap appeared in the wooden wall.
The two barons exchanged a glance, and Baron Matica stepped forward first.
"There are no more goblins! What are you afraid of?"
Seeing that the cheap militia being overwhelmed by the goblins, he became really anxious!
There's flat ground right behind this wall!
Could there be rolling logs?
He led the soldiers behind the sturdy wooden wall and looked around.
The two barons watched him go in, and then led their soldiers and knights in as well.
Baron Taliss saw familiar terrain.
Same as last time.
But they are not exactly the same.
There were many pine branches forming a wall about a hundred paces ahead, but no goblins were to be seen.
These walls are not as neat as last time.
About 100 meters to the right, a new earthen wall appeared on the slope leading up the mountain.
There are two goblins on the earthen wall!
The earthen wall is flanked by walls made of pine branches!
But the earthen wall was very low; he could even see the top of it, where there were no logs.
And below the slope corresponding to the pine branch walls on both sides of the earthen wall...
No trees?
This means that even if the goblin pushes the logs off both sides of the earthen wall, it will not be able to run and bounce through the forest like it did before!
You can rinse it!
Baron Talis glanced at the soldiers, slaves, and overseers filing in behind him, then raised his riding whip and pointed it at the earthen wall.
"Soldiers, prepare yourselves! This is a real battle! Our enemy is behind that earthen wall!"
Baron Stern also turned and shouted to the soldiers.
"These green monsters are far more cunning than their ordinary kind; we must win! Children, load your crossbows! Just like we do in war training!"
As they gave the order, the soldiers took out their crossbows and cocked them, while the knights put on their helmets, ready to officially join the battle.
The two barons also put on helmets.
They need to get serious!
"They're treating this like a real war; watch out for crossbow bolts."
The saintess lowered her voice and gave a reminder.
Li Mosi and Zi'an immediately recalled the words she had once said.
The nobles' soldiers would suppress the enemy with a hail of arrows, and then charge forward themselves.
Li Mosi quickly spoke to the clever young man and the old man.
"Get behind the wall and raise your shield above your head."
"Wow."
The clever boy nodded and quickly started squeaking at the goblins.
Hundreds of goblins who had not yet become warriors quickly raised their shields.
"An arrow is coming!"
The two goblins who were standing on the earthen wall to keep watch immediately jumped down!
Whoosh whoosh—
More than two hundred crossbow bolts were stacked together, their sound of piercing the air was incredibly clear.
Along with that, the sound of Longma charging forward rang out!
bang bang bang...
Nine dragon horses charged forward in unison, their hooves sounding like rolling stones in the mountains, or like continuous thunderclaps.
The slaves who had just escaped from the supervisory team covered their mouths and noses tightly, afraid of making a sound, and their faces turned red.
The goblins swallowed hard, looked at each other with unwavering determination.
They believed in the new elders, they believed in the leader.
We will definitely win!
The instant the sound of rushing air and the clatter of hooves reached his ears, Li Mosi looked up and shouted.
"Ziyi!"
Bump-bump-
Even the fastest dragon horse can't outrun a crossbow bolt.
The crossbow bolt struck the earthen wall and wooden shield the instant Li Mosi finished shouting, producing a soft, muffled thud.
The dragon horse continued forward, and the soldiers mounted their bows once more.
"High throw!"
Just then, a whooshing sound echoed across the battlefield once again!
A shower of stones flew out from the wooden wall on the north side of the battlefield, heading straight for the soldiers!
"There are enemies to the north!"
"Get out of the way!"
The soldiers tried to get away, but their horses were huddled together and not as maneuverable as the dragon horse.
bang bang bang-
The stone struck the flesh with a dull thud.
Then came the soldiers' cries of agony and the neighing of horses!
"what!"
"Whew—"
"I'm pinned down!"
The number of glowing spots on the soldiers' side immediately decreased by more than a dozen!
The knight Kumo, who was at the forefront, turned around and shouted.
"Quickly! Order the slaves to attack north!"
The other nobles also maintained their charging posture while looking back to check the battle situation.
His orders were insufficient to mobilize the slave-catching team.
But neither Hick nor Camo are fools; they would have done it even without his permission!
Baron Stern's soldiers were positioned at the southernmost point and were not injured for the time being.
He was the first to turn his head back and look at the earthen wall again.
He saw a tall figure climb up the wall!
The bear-orc drew his longbow!
Baron Stern immediately warned, "Watch out for arrows!"
Arrows?
What is it?
Just as the nobles turned their heads in confusion, the arrows had already been shot out!
Zi'an's arrow was aimed directly at the Kumo Knight who was charging at the very front!
whoosh-
Upon noticing Zi'an's tall stature and the longbow in her hand, the Knight Kumo quickly propped himself up and tumbled off the dragon horse's back!
boom!
"Hmm hmm hmm~"
The dragon horse was shot in the hind leg, and the hanging horse armor was shattered into pieces by the arrow, which fell to the ground with the arrow embedded in it.
Its massive body instantly lost its balance and slid to its knees, falling forward!
But Li Mosi's smooth little combo wasn't over yet!
dong dong——
Pong!
Two familiar landing sounds rang out, and the pine branch shelters on both sides of the earthen wall scattered towards the nine knights.
Two extra-long logs made from whole trees fell down from both sides of the earthen wall!
They could not affect the eight knights who were charging straight toward the earthen wall, but Kumo had already moved out of the wall's range!
roll?
Too late!
Knight Kumo raised his hands to the throne and sprang up with his extraordinary physical abilities.
It's too late!
The steep slope and high platform, with a drop of nearly ten meters, gave the extra-long logs tremendous power!
The giant log that was made that day was like a giant's whip, lashing hard at the body of the Kumo Knight.
He suddenly went limp and spun in the air like a top.
The extra-long log also used his body as a fulcrum to move closer to the slope!
The remaining eight nobles quickly took cover.
The other log went downhill without any hindrance.
In fact, these two logs were not originally intended for the people heading towards the earthen wall.
Their target was the group of people down the slope!
Crossfire! Kid!
"The log is coming!"
"Watch out!"
The soldiers' actions of cocking their crossbows were interrupted once again, and only the slave-catching team's personal guards, holding longbows, had time to launch a volley of arrows at Zi'an.
Zi'an quickly jumped behind the earthen wall.
Baron Talis drew a spear from the side of the dragon horse and shouted at the remaining knights.
"Prepare to throw spears!"
We can't let the bear-beastmen make a move anymore!
But Li Moss and his group also had a pole-throwing device and a spear-throwing machine!
[Target distance: Approximately 50 meters]
Li Moss locked onto the nearest point of light and used a spear to point the way for everyone.
"Throw the spears and the boomerangs, all of them, upwards!"
The clever boy listened and translated at the same time.
"All soldiers, jump!"
The goblins and Koyasu were already prepared!
[Target distance: Approximately 40 meters]
In the time it takes to issue a single command, the distance has been shortened by ten meters!
Fortunately, everyone acted immediately!
A shower of stones and spears shot out from behind the earthen wall, forcing the nobles to raise their greatswords and shields to defend themselves!
Their speed slowed down.
But some people still got infected.
"what!"
One of Baron Stern's knights charged too far forward and was hit first by stones and javelins.
He was pinned down by his own dragon horse!
Knight Kumo found himself at the very front!
Seeing Zi'an climb back onto the wall, he threw down the giant shield and took out a scroll from behind him, tearing it open.
"Fireball!"
