Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 140 The Spellcaster in the Goblin
The ogres soon all fell. They are "melee units" and need to be close to the rear to exert their full combat power. Under the magic arrows of the elven archers and the javelins of the volleys, the ogres fell into the traps and trenches outside the camp without exception. They were never given a chance to get close.
After the ogre came the Gnoll, and the Kobold, the Gnoll's henchman. There were undoubtedly far more of them than ogres, and after emerging from the frost mist, they were like a line of black pressure, straight towards the camp.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
A terrible roar rang out from the camp. Accompanied by a series of loud orders, the mountain archers took up their bows and arrows. A moment later, the crisp sound of bowstrings resounded through the camp, and arrows rose from the camp and rained down on the attacking gnolls like locusts
The gnolls raised their shields to greet them. The arrow landed heavily on the shield, shaking his arm numb. Every now and then, heavy arrows pierced the shield, and the gnolls behind the shield let out a high-pitched scream.
The rain of arrows, though fast and dense, does not do much damage to the gnolls overall. However, compared to the well-organized and highly combative gnolls, the kobolds behind them are very poor in their resistance to the rain of arrows. Kobolds generally carried crude spears, short spears, and no shields, let alone protective armor. The rain of arrows falls, and as long as it hits, no matter which part it is, the kobold will basically fall to the ground.
After three waves of arrows, the kobolds' array immediately stirred. The elven demon archers who were shooting condescendingly saw that the kobolds in the back row were rushing forward, but the kobolds in the front row were retreating. The two sides crowded and trampled on each other, and the array, which had been fairly neat, quickly became chaotic.
"Ready! Preparation...... Put! ”
After the rain of arrows, more than a dozen clay pots were thrown out of the camp and landed on the heads and shields of the gnolls.
The clay pot was fragile, and immediately after a simple collision, it shattered, and the semi-solidified ointment contained in the jar spilled out. The spilled ointment began to burn as soon as it came into contact with the air, and the raging flames almost instantly covered the small half of the gnolls.
There is no doubt that the ointment in the clay pot is the blazing glue, a must-have for murder and arson!
The gnolls in the flames screamed again and again, and the chaos in the kobold array rose to a higher level, and the balance of the battle seemed to be tilting in favor of the humans. However, the elves in the treetops soon noticed that a new dark creature had entered after the frost mist.
New to the Goblin Entry! That's right, it's the little green-skinned monster goblin.
The fences and fortifications of the camp were built and laid out to the highest standards. However, due to the tight schedule, the fence could not be built high enough to carry soldiers and used as a wall, and the fortifications could not be exhaustive, so they could only concentrate on a few key points. As a result, most of the soldiers were unable to see beyond the camp, and they were unable to see a large group of small green-skinned monsters swarming out of the frost mist with various crude weapons.
Oh no, it's two groups...... No, it's several!
If you were to choose what the three pests of the forest were, then the goblins would definitely be on the list. The little green-skinned monsters are not very strong in terms of individual combat effectiveness, but they are like small strongs that can't be killed, with an extremely high reproduction rate, and if you are not careful, several litters will appear, and then they will begin to flood, killing them endlessly, and they will be destroyed endlessly. However, there are many of them, and the goblins are still the scum with only five combat power, the kind that can't be on the table.
But...... Aoegno Morrowind, the leader of the elven archers in the heights, noticed that something was wrong.
Goblins, small green-skinned monsters, are widely distributed and can be found in almost every corner of the world. Whether it was as a member of the Elven Ranger in his early years or as a magic archer, Aegno Morrowind had no shortage of goblins. The way to deal with this is usually to face the arrow, with the median eye socket being the best, followed by the central fossa.
Aegnor Morrowind wasn't the kind of goblin killer who thought that only dead goblins were goblins, but for the most part, he agreed with Goblin Slayers. Goblins, who waste food and pollute the air, are better off dying sooner.
But the goblin in front of me is a little different. It's not because they've been blessed with bloodlust and rage that make them extremely excited and bloodthirsty, it's not because the seemingly jumbled crude weapons in their hands shoot a magical glow that shouldn't be there in the frost mist, and it's not because many of them are wearing armor that obviously doesn't fit...... Rather, it was because Aegno Morrowind saw the presence of spellcasters in hordes of goblins.
Is it possible for a caster to appear in a goblin?
Based on the general characteristics and traits of an individual, it is basically impossible for a spellcaster to appear in a goblin. Whether it's intelligence, perception, or will, the three basic attributes related to spellcasting goblins are extremely low, and it is completely impossible to reach the lower limit of the minimum stat required by the caster.
However, from the perspective of the extremely large population base, the appearance of spellcasters in the goblins is inevitable, as the occasional goblin with excellent intelligence is actually normal. Spellcasters are born among stupid trolls, and there is no reason why goblins who are a little smarter than trolls can't appear.
The problem is that there are casters in every group of goblins that come into view, and there are even two or three casters in the larger groups of goblins.
- Goblin casters from all over the world are gathered in front of you?
Aegno Morrowind couldn't help but have such a question in his mind.
More goblins poured out of the frost mist, and more goblin casters appeared. The goblin caster staggered forward with a short staff with a skull in one hand and a broken banner in the other. They are generally more robust than the goblins around them, and their eyes are bloodthirsty and cruel.
If Fang Qiuling was present, then he would immediately recognize the identity of these goblin spellcasters—dark spellcasters with the Filthy Realm as the core of their power, Fallen Wizards. However, the elves had apparently never seen the Wizard of Perdition, and Aegno Morrowind was even more startled by the ensuing scene.
Three arrows fell from a great height. The arrow of the second arrow is attached to the tail feathers of the first arrow, and the arrow of the third arrow is the tail feather of the second arrow.
This is the technique of a series of arrows, and Aegno Morrowind is familiar with it. He could even tell which elven archer had shot the three arrows.
The trajectory of the arrow was straight, but there was not the slightest sound of breaking through the air. As a target, the Sinking Wizard sensed the arrow coming at high speed, but it only raised its head and fell before it could react.
The first arrow landed in its right eye, and the metal arrow pierced the brain, shattering the goblin's underdeveloped brain. The second arrow was nailed between the chests, and although the arrow failed to hit the heart, it also wrangled half of the lungs. The third arrow was nailed to the throat, and the three pipes were broken in an instant.
The sorcerer who bore the brunt of the sinking fell on his back without saying a word. No matter how you look at it, it should be dead, quite completely dead, the kind that can't be saved.
So far, nothing has been done and everything is normal. The Elven Demon Archer attacks with a series of arrows and hits with one hit. The leader of the archers even heard the grunt of satisfaction from the female elves not far away. And the ensuing scene left Aegno Morrowind dumbfounded.
Another Fallen Wizard stepped forward, and it saw the corpse of its companion with three arrows stuck in it. The new Wizard of Doom dragged a fellow citizen past him, first smashing his compatriot on the head with a short staff, then raising the tattered banner and casting spells.
I saw that the dragged goblin was like a leaky balloon, and its body shrank rapidly, while the corpse of the fallen wizard on the ground was visibly bulging. Moments later, the goblin fell to the ground like a bloodied corpse, and the dead Wizard of Doom stood up again.
The Fallen Wizard, who stood up again, looked around with a fierce expression. As it searched for its killer, it ripped off three arrows pinned to its eye socket, throat, and chest.
Each arrow that is torn off carries a large piece of flesh and skin. Three arrows were torn off, and the Sinking Wizard had three more holes in his body. Any of these three wounds is fatal! But the Wizard of Perdition, who had risen again, was alive and well, and the wounds on its body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Aegno Morrowind heard a slight exclamation not far away. Not to mention the female elf who attacked, even he himself was equally surprised.
- Is it resurrection?
No matter how you look at the scene in front of you, it looks like the legendary ninth-level spell resurrection technique, but Aegno Morrowind subconsciously knows very well that it must not be a resurrection technique, but some kind of unknown evil art.
Not far away, the crisp sound of bowstrings sounded again. Three bowstrings rang out in succession during the interval, a long sound like one. The female elves apparently struck again.
Three arrows shot out again, followed by tail feathers, striking the resurrected Fallen Wizard again in an instant. The Sinking Wizard still didn't have time to react, and he hit all three arrows, and he rolled over and fell to the ground again.
- Dead?
Aegno Morrowind silently drew a magic arrow and aimed at the Wizard of Perdition who appeared afterward.
I saw that the Fallen Wizard who appeared next grabbed a goblin passing by again, and then began to perform the "resurrection spell" as before.
The previous scene recurred, and the battered Wizard of Perdition scrambled to his feet on the ground. Its aura was a little sluggish, but the fierceness on its face was not diminished at all!
- Resurrection...... Is it?
Aegno Morrowind began to gather mana, and the magic arrows in his hand soon burst into red light. The next moment, a fiery red thread shot out from the longbow in his hand.
It's an explosive flaming arrow. Although the elves hate fire, they are much cuter than dark creatures!
