《blood tax》Chapter Eleven Goblin troll
Advertisement
In a rock hole covered with rubble, Galatea stopped.
"This is it."
Griffith looked inside. This is an ordinary cave. The winding tunnel is high enough for several people to run in parallel, extending to the invisible depths.
"Spread out and check if there are any exits nearby," Griffith said. "People with shields will go down with me, and others will guard here."
The elf bit his lip, plucked up his courage and said, "I'm going too."
According to the prior arrangement, half of the militia followed the captain to ensure the rear road, Griffith and Galatea covered each other and marched along the dark cave passage. In this narrow cave, more troops can't be used.
The unbearable stench is getting stronger and stronger, and Griffith is worried that the torch will cause explosion or suffocation in this place.
"Ah!" Suddenly, several militiamen shouted. In front of them, big and small eyes twinkled in the dark, and they looked at the human beings outside with extremely vicious eyes.
Goblin. Griffith beckoned, and four militia armed with wooden shields immediately stepped forward to form a strong defense line.
"Prepare for battle!" The apprentice shouted, he had no plan to hide his tracks from the beginning, "Galatea, do it!"
The elf lit the arrow and shot an arrow at the eyes in the dark. Then there was a scream and the sound of falling to the ground. Bright flames lit Goblin's body and lit up the road ahead.
"Hey, hey!" Goblin guards immediately rushed out and pounced on the front shield line.
Galatea fired a series of dazzling rockets in the crowd. Her shooting speed is extremely fast, and the endless arrows and chords converge into the sound of tearing linen. The flames even line up, sweeping the enemy ahead.
Griffith was frightened to disgrace. Last night's battle, Galatea's archery was really superb, but it was not exaggerated. Elf's wrist and arm look slender and delicate, but the explosive force and persistence of this round of continuous shooting have surpassed Lux in the army. Even those strong veterans who specialize in archery can't match her.
Is this the extraordinary person of "Ranger" way!
Intensive shooting has knocked down a dozen enemies one after another, and swept away the shadow that rushed over. And the grease on the flame and arrows lit the shot Goblin, and the dark cave was illuminated clearly.
Griffith put his hand on the shoulder of the militia in the front row.
"Forward."
The procession passed the dead Goblin and walked towards the depths. When they passed a corner, suddenly more than a dozen monsters jumped out of the darkness.
"Steady."
"Hey, hey!" Screaming, Goblin bumped into the wooden shield line. The militiamen couldn't see clearly the situation ahead with their shields, only that a dozen little monsters were beating hard with various weapons.
"Attack, kill them!" Griffith took the lead in stabbing a pike down from above the shield, and nailed a little monster to the ground on the spot.
The militiamen in the back row followed closely, constantly thrusting from the shield gap or above. Goblin jammed in front of the shield was killed in the blink of an eye.
The third wave of attacks soon followed, and more than a dozen Goblins jumped up. This number must be the maximum number of goblins that can be put into the cave once. No matter how hard these goblins try, they can't get through the wooden shield in the militia's hand in the narrow space that can't be detoured.

"Replace!" With Griffith's command, the militia in the second row took advantage of the battle gap to replace the militia in the first row with shields. The replaced soldiers were unscathed, and they retreated to the back to drink water and rest with a relaxed face.
Then the fourth wave, The 5th Wave Goblin, sent an attack. With the cooperation of pike and shield, they left a few bodies and went back to the depths of the cave screaming. "What a sinister tactic ~" Galatea has no chance to attack again since he shot a round of bows and arrows at the beginning. "Last night, and now,Your tactics make Goblin unable to exert his strength at all. Is this all the war experience you learned from the front? "
If these goblins rush up together, they may be crushed by your arrows. Griffith shot a corpse on the ground and said quietly:
"War is fair or foul. Defense consumes the enemy's physical strength and courage, and relies on formation to fight against disorganized stragglers, so that we can leave the battlefield alive, and this is not a war, but a public security war at best. Notice that the road ahead is widening. "
After crossing this road, the human militia arrived at a large circular cave. It's very spacious here, and it's no longer a road that four militiamen can block.
"Have some lighting!"
Galatea and the militiamen in the back row threw torches and straw piles to the front, illuminating the big hole in front of them, so that we could see the whole picture here.
"Oh."
At the moment of understanding the scene in front of me, several militiamen vomited.
In this spacious cave, four or five mutilated human bones are scattered on the ground. Broken cloth strips are still hanging on the bones.
Three young women were pressed to the ground naked, their bodies were covered with beatings and bites, and disgusting dirt was smeared everywhere.
How dare these ugly and wretched goblins.
Galatea's silver teeth clenched, trembling with anger. The militiamen on one side were furious after vomiting, and they rushed forward gasping for air.
Griffith scanned the scene nervously, and was surprised to find that there were only more than 50 ordinary goblins here.
What's going on? Where is the superior species of Goblin? No goblin warrior?
"Steady, don't move!" Griffith realized that the situation was not good. "Everyone, hold your positions and don't spread out."
But all the people present have been carried away by anger and humiliation, and they are ready to go up and get revenge.
Just then, a naked Goblin suddenly lifted the woman's lower body in front of it and dug her skin with sharp claws.
"Ah!" The dying girl let out a scream.
Shit! Griffith grabbed Galatea's hand, which was about to rush up. At his side, angry militiamen roared and rushed at the little monster in front of him without formation.
"Stop, it's a trap!" Griffith shouted in vain. His cry just reminded Galatea. Before the militiamen could pass through half of the cave, the soft ground suddenly collapsed.
"Wow!" Four militiamen fell into a hole full of sharp wooden stakes and were killed on the spot. The rest of the people panicked.
At this time, some 50 goblins swarmed, besieging the chaotic militia with all kinds of weapons.
Galatea quickly bent his bow, put down several of the strongest and fastest goblins, and immediately attracted a large group of enemies to besiege him from all directions.
"Back, back into the passage!"Griffith lost his spear, raised his round shield, and drew his sword to attack.The sword was not suitable for waving in the dark cave. He patiently looked for an opportunity to stab it, killing a goblin with each blow.

The besieged militia gradually fell down, and the rest were forced back to the corner to fight.
"Hold on a little longer!"As she ran out, she whistled to the militia outside the cave for help.
However, far from being supported by the militia outside, there were screams and shouts, as well as the sound of blade fighting.
Griffith and Galatia fought and retreated, and it took a while to reach the entrance to the cave.
The main militia force behind the palace has disintegrated in the shade of dense trees that cannot be penetrated by sunlight.On the ground lay the broken corpses, and only a dozen people were divided into several desperate resistance.
Before the two men could see the scene clearly, a huge, strong creature came at them waving a thick trunk.
Two people subconsciously to one side, almost hit.
In front of them, is a three meter high green skin creature.It is not like the ordinary goblin so obscene, full of flesh and rough, the body as strong as a bucket.The giant stick in his hand was a broken tree trunk covered with flesh, blood and bones.
"Goblin monster!"There was surprise and panic in her voice.This is a goblin variant that is higher and more powerful than goblin warriors and shamans.
No wonder shaman led the attack last night.This monster is the ruler of this group of goblin.
"Click!"When goblin pinched it with his left hand, the head of a human beetle caught by it burst like a watermelon.The headless body was thrown to the ground and twitched slightly.It was only then that Griffith recognized from his leather armor that this was the knight of the Eden family.
More than thirty goblins followed the troll, some of them besieging the remaining militia, while the rest swept the slender elves from top to bottom with lustful eyes.
"Whoosh!"The goblin Troll swept over with a giant stick.
Its attack is like a gale that cannot be resisted. The trainee knight and ELF Archer are repelled by the violent wind pressure even without being hit.Galadiya seized the opportunity to shoot two arrows, the sharp arrows as if nailed to the wall of the wall, deep into the monster's chest.
The troll didn't even shake.A large body and fat is the best defense.
If I fall into the hands of this thing. Can I escape now. Galadiah looks at this terrible creature, her heart beating violently, and her hand holding the bow and arrow is full of sweat.She first looked at the top of the tree, found that the distance was too far to reach, and could not help but look pale at the trainee Knight around her.
Griffith, on one knee, gazed at the goblin monster, slowly lowered his shield and breathed calmly.
The genie's eyes widened in surprise.In front of her, the human soldier in coarse armor seemed immune to fear, calm as a cold rock.
"Galatia," Griffith rose slowly and trotted toward the goblin, "shoot it in the head!"
As time went by, galadiya shot three arrows at the troll like lightning.
The troll raised his hand. Two plumed arrows aimed at the eyeball were inserted into its arm, and the other arrow went through its throat.However, the strong body is indifferent to the arrow shot into the throat, waving a big stick to the human ahead.
The flow of time seems to have slowed down.Griffith in the trot speeds up at the moment the arrow hits, and at the moment the troll raises the stick, he has already jumped at the enemy's feet.
The trainee Knight lands on his knees, leans back to the limit, raises his sword and slides between the troll's legs.The blade cuts through the flesh and blood. Before the red and yellow liquid gushes out, Griffith has already appeared behind the troll with his left hand, leaping sideways from the sliding state.
"OhGoblin knelt down to the ground with a twisted face.Before his knees touched the ground, Griffith had adjusted his posture in mid air, and his sword had been thrust into the monster's wide shoulder socket from top to bottom.
"Cough!"The goblin Troll didn't even have time to scream, and the Sword Pierced fat without clavicle protection.It spat out a mouthful of blood foam on the spot, shook it and fell to the ground.
Just now considering whether she could jump to the treetop to escape, galadiya couldn't accept the flash of the Firestone.
Also startled were the militia and goblin.They didn't even understand what was going on. The monster's hideous body was slowly crashing to the ground.
Griffith drew out his sword and waved a cold light to Goblin, who was still in a daze. His two heads immediately flew up.
"Well!"Goblin, who was there, blew up the nest on the spot.Goblin, who was still besieging the militia, and goblin, who coveted galadiya, screamed at the same time and ran away.
Griffith kept picking up a sword from the body of the militia leader and dashed into the chaotic goblin with both hands dancing.The little monsters howled, threw down the bodies of their companions, and fled to the depths of the forest without looking back.
"Won?"Galadiya hardly believed her eyes.Goblin troll is a very rare and powerful creature. Its amazing strength and vitality enable it to fight against great knights and elite Rangers.
Is it so simple to be killed?
Griffith chased and killed for a while, and immediately turned back and called out to the garadiya and the militiamen who were still in the chaos, "take up arms, follow me, we will go back to the cave to support!"
When the trainee Knight said this, he put his sword back into the scabbard, held the captain's long sword, picked up a shield and headed into the cave.
Garadiya and the militiamen were stunned for a moment, and then they followed suit one after another.
There are scattered goblin in the cave.They obviously knew the troll's pincer plan, and they thought they were winning, so they walked in no hurry.
Then they saw the fallen dead troll and Griffith with a sword.The trainee Knight smashed one goblin's head with his shield, killed one with one foot, and chopped down two fleeing fellows with his sword.
The reaction is slow, Goblin's is immediately killed by the intruding probationary knight, and the rest of you push me and flee to the cave.
Galadiya and the militiamen followed closely, unable to keep up with Griffith's assault.By the time they got to the cave, it had become a flesh and blood mill.
Griffith, who had been killed, pursued goblin's steps and killed the enemies who stopped to fight back.
"Goo Hoo ~" some goblin seemed to understand the situation.The return of the human warrior to the cave means that goblin's powerful leader has been defeated.These ugly monsters showed expressions of panic, and some even curled up on the ground and cried out to Griffith for mercy.
Griffith didn't listen to the cry for mercy, and slaughtered the chaotic enemy with his sword.Finally, he not only rescued the desperate remnant militia, but also drove the remaining goblin in the cave to run around.
"Hold up the shield!"Griffith stopped and called to the assembled militia, "get them to the corner!"
Goblin, who had been beaten to death, was immediately surrounded by people from all directions.Although the number of them is more than that of human beings, they can't be used together, they can only be forced to the corner together.
Several goblin tried to take the captured girls as hostages, but they were shot and killed by galadiya's bow the first time.
"Goo Goo Goo!"The last dozen goblins, who had no weapons at all, huddled together, gaping in horror at the people who surrounded them, and grunting like pigeons.
"They're begging for mercy."Garadiya pointed to Goblin, which had shrunk into a ball.
"What can be asked from their mouths?"Griffith put down his shield and drew another sword from his waist.
"No, there is no superior species. Ordinary goblin can take orders from the superior species, but he has no language ability. He only has the instinct of obedience, eating and drinking, killing and mating. Even if he uses the magic controlled by the mind, he can only obtain fragmented chaotic memories," said galadiya, taking out the medicine to treat the three miserable girls,"It's hard for them to surrender honestly."
"That's useless."Griffith pushed aside the militia and stood in front of the frightened goblin with his swords.
"You don't have the concept of repentance.
"That will save you."

The Lady's Handbook of Intrigue and Murder (High Fantasy Politics)
Summary:The daughter of a dying house is summoned to the Imperial City to meet and perhaps marry a handsome prince. It sounds like a fairy tale. Except Mydea doesn’t have the advantage of a half-forgotten childhood encounter, supreme magic to match the highest echelons of society, or even the privilege of an ally. In order to survive and make a name for herself, she must beat the Imperial Court at its own game. At least no one's tried to kill her—yet. Notes: Basically, if you liked the magic of Harry Potter and the politics of Game of Thrones, you'll probably like this. While the first book focuses on the female lead, and the interplay of competing regional and imperial interests, subsequent books will also cover warfare and how I imagine that differs wildly from historical norms with the introductions of a magical aristocracy.
