Suddenly, the goblins heard a strange sound, as if some kind of creature was collectively roaring.
However, before they could even react, their lives were taken away in an instant.
With the support of the scout heroes, every goblin had nowhere to hide and died at their hands in the blink of an eye.
On the other side, the orc forces were in almost the same situation; they could easily find the scattered goblins who dared not stay with their companions by following their scent.
Although the heroes and orcs made a great commotion, shouting and yelling as they killed a goblin, the goblins died before they even had a chance to make a sound.
Soon, a goblin shaman discovered this situation.
"Centurion! The humans... the humans are attacking!"
Both the goblin shaman and the goblin centurion spotted the approaching enemy from different directions.
Many wanted to go and warn others, but before they could, they were killed by the heroes.
The heroes and beastmen had no intention of letting any enemy go, and even if the enemy went back to report, the heroes had no intention of firing at them.
Because when the heroes get close enough, the goblins on the mountaintop will spot them and rush back to report.
Now the heroes only need to reduce the number of goblins as much as possible, without having to worry about anything else.
The number of goblins is decreasing rapidly, and the heroes have long wanted to kill goblins to their heart's content!
This includes the orcs.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!!"
The centurions began to try to escape through the sky, but were killed mid-air by the heroes as soon as they jumped.
The agility of the two sides is not at all on the same level. Even if Liu is far away, the highly agile Warrior II can catch up in time and kill the Goblin Centurion.
Because they had no cover and were wreaking havoc all the way, the goblin centurions on the mountaintop quickly noticed the situation.
Looking down from the mountain, it's easy to see goblin centurions who have jumped up and died in mid-air.
"Quickly! Go back and report!" (Goblin language)
……
"What?! Humans have attacked?!" a goblin servant exclaimed in surprise.
It's not just humans' rest time, it's also the goblins' rest time; most goblins are still asleep.
Especially goblins of level six and above, unlike goblin centurions who have to be on guard at all times, have more time to rest.
That is to say...
Humans likely knew they were resting, which is why they chose this time to launch a surprise attack!
"A surprise attack! It's a surprise attack!"
"Quickly, get all the royal guards and goblin champions ready for battle!!"
"Yes!"
In a very short time, all the goblin kings and goblin champions were summoned, along with the goblin centurions who were on rest shifts.
Then there's the Goblin King, Gojin.
All the goblins have been waiting for this day. They have completed the selection of all the royal attendants and goblin champions, and they have been waiting for this day!
Waiting to engage in combat with humans!
Waiting to protect their home!
The time has finally come for a decisive battle with humanity!
"What's the situation?" Gogin asked in a deep voice, sitting on his throne.
"Judging from the current situation under control, humanity is divided into five groups and is attacking the royal city from five directions."
In the short time it took to wake up the Goblin Empire's high command, the goblins had already taken control of the situation.
These were the findings of the goblin centurions who had risked their lives to run back from the outskirts and the goblin chiliarchs who were on the mountaintop.
"Five directions, are they planning to attack the Empire separately and disperse our forces at the same time?" a goblin attendant pondered.
"Heh, foolish humans! Aren't they also diverting their strength by doing this?"
"My king, I propose that we concentrate our forces on one direction first, killing all of humanity, and then deal with them one by one, defeating them one by one," another royal attendant suggested.
"No, I think we should defend from different directions. What if their attacks from other directions are feints, while one of them is the main force?"
"If we concentrate our efforts on one direction, wouldn't we fall into their trap?!" Yet another goblin servant had a different opinion.
Moreover, the latter sounds more reliable.
Gogin sat on the throne, his eyes closed in deep thought.
Should we choose to actively eliminate the enemy, or conservatively defend against them?
This is a problem.
Because he didn't know exactly how many royal attendants he would need to deal with an enemy coming from one direction.
What if the enemy is more formidable than expected, and fewer royal guards are dispatched?
Even when they sent out a large number of royal attendants, they were all killed by the enemy?
To be honest, Gogin didn't really want to engage in too much combat with the other side at this time.
Because the newly promoted Royal Guard and Goblin Champion have not yet fully adapted.
To put it bluntly, the current state of his empire is not yet at its peak.
However... the goblins under his command were very eager to fight.
"Deploy ten royal attendants, each with your men and enough centurions, to defend five directions simultaneously."
The newly appointed royal attendant and champion remain.
Finally, Gogin gave the order.
Let's send in the goblins with plenty of combat experience first; we can't afford to lose any more fresh blood!
Veteran players are more discerning, knowing when to fight and when to retreat, thus increasing their chances of survival.
"Yes!"
The royal attendants replied sternly.
Soon, Gogin designated ten royal attendants to fight.
Gomon was spared because he was missing an arm.
Soon, the ten royal attendants assembled their respective troops and set off towards the mountaintops in five different directions.
……
[Hero of the Thorns: A high-level goblin has appeared.]
Miluko was the first to notice the situation.
Because her agility was the highest among all the heroes present, and she could escape at an extremely fast speed even when encountering high-level goblins, she observed from almost the closest point to the mountaintop.
At the summit, a group of mighty giant goblins gathered together, forming a wall of flesh that rose from the mountaintop.
The Goblin King and Goblin Champion were clad in rough but sturdy leather armor, which looked to be the best armor available to goblins. Each goblin wielded an exaggeratedly large weapon, such as an iron bar or a greatsword.
They look down from above, their gaze constantly sweeping across the environment, and once they spot humans, they will act without hesitation.
They want to teach these humans what happens when they offend goblins!
[Sword Hero: What's the direction?]
The Hero of the Thorns: ...They stood in a row around the mountaintop.
Sword Hero: Okay.
They already know we are attacking from different directions.
Now! Everyone retreat!
An Yi's message appeared in the sight of all the heroes within seconds.
The heroes acted with lightning speed, killing the last goblin in front of them and then turning and running away without the slightest hesitation.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!!"
On the other side, in the orcs' ranks, Arya shouted in the orc language.
Upon hearing the command, the orcs shouted loudly to the nearby orcs, and soon all the orcs began to retreat.
In less than half a minute, all the heroes and orcs began to evacuate the scene.
The low-level goblins were still fleeing in panic, while the high-level goblins had not yet realized what was happening.
After waiting for about half an hour, the commotion in the forest stopped, and the high-ranking goblins sensed that something was wrong.
...?
What about humans?
Why haven't they attacked yet?
The commotion in the forest lasted for a long time because the low-level goblins were running around, and some goblins were even taking advantage of the chaos by attacking other fleeing goblins, which caused complete chaos.
The high-ranking goblins were unaware of this and were still wondering why the humans hadn't attacked yet.
After the riots subsided and things gradually returned to normal, the royal attendants sent out a goblin captain to assess the situation.
The centurions, filled with trepidation, left the royal city limits to search for humans in the forest. They searched and asked around, and it took them a long time to confirm...
Humanity is gone.
gone!
Instead of attacking the Goblin Empire, they left without knowing when it started!
The high-ranking goblin, who had been brimming with fighting spirit, suddenly felt as if he had punched thin air, and his anger, which he had been about to vent, suddenly seemed to have nowhere to go.
Gone... How could they just leave like that?!
