Ji Yijun swung his sword horizontally, and the tattered iron sword in the hand of a "tall" goblin in front of him, whose height reached his waist, was cut into two pieces. This was the gap in civilization and the gap in time. The iron bar picked up from medieval humans collided with the sharp blade made by modern metallurgical technology and enchanted by alchemists. The result was self-evident.
The poor goblin was shocked to see his proud "sword" being easily cut off by this human, and he was stunned for a second. This second was enough for Ji Yijun to thrust his sword forward again and pierce his throat.
A black gas emerged from the goblin's seven orifices. This was the goblin's ancestral soul - the soul of a warrior in the past tribe. It was summoned by the shaman and attached to the warriors, greatly enhancing their strength and speed.
But even so, the Ancestral Soul Warriors were still like chickens and dogs in front of Ji Yijun.
Seeing the goblin ancestor soul warrior who was in the front fall to the ground, Ji Yijun frowned slightly, exhaled a heavy breath, and shouted loudly: "Follow me, these short guys can't stand a beating at all!"
The guards around them, armed with spears and machetes and wearing leather and iron armor, howled and rushed towards the weak defense line of the goblins. Five minutes later, with the leading ancestral soul warrior and goblin shaman killed by masters like Ji Yijun and Ye Zi, the goblin defense line completely collapsed. The remaining goblins fled in all directions, exposing the entrance of the entire camp to everyone.
Ji Yijun knew that the outcome of this battle was already determined, and all he had to do next was to chase and kill the fleeing soldiers.
After a period of training and fighting during the attacks of bandits, the originally green guards had gained some more murderous spirit. At least when they were fighting with the wind, they were much braver. Ji Yijun led his squad to the front, forming an arrowhead. Next to him was the team led by Ye Zi, which included some female soldiers, including Wu Qi, the woman who jumped off the building that he had saved. They fought very bravely.
Has this woman changed her personality? Ji Yijun raised his eyebrows. He had heard that this woman had planned to escape before, but it seemed that her companions had died, otherwise she would not have committed suicide. Now she rushed into the team so fiercely. Was she looking for another way to die, or had she really changed
Wu Qi was still pretty, not inferior to Ye Zi. At this time, her face was bloody and she looked gnashing her teeth, which was quite charming. Ji Yijun had been with many women recently, and somehow, he had less and less resistance to them. Any woman who was a little bit pretty could make him eager, except Ye Zi... who was still in a cold war with him.
Just when Ji Yijun was distracted, he heard a scream beside him. He turned around and saw that Garcia was stabbed in the calf with an iron spear by a short goblin who came out from nowhere.
Ji Yijun kicked up and luckily kicked a stone at his feet. The stone hit the shoulder of the short goblin and knocked him to the ground.
He went over to check Garcia's wound and found that the ground force was too weak and the wound was only half an inch deep. Although it was bleeding, it would be no big deal as long as it was treated properly.
He ignored Garcia's request to continue fighting and had two team members send him to the back.
When he looked back at the goblin, he found that the goblin's shoulder was shattered by his blow, and he was lying on the ground groaning weakly. This goblin looked much younger than the previous goblin warrior, and with his body just above Ji Yijun's knees, he was obviously a half-grown child among the goblins. The look he gave Ji Yijun was full of hatred and anger, which made Ji Yijun feel that this look seemed very familiar to him, and he had seen it somewhere before.
"Sergeant, let me smash this bastard to death!" Enrique picked up a basketball-sized stone and moved closer, but before he got close, he found that Ji Yijun had stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Why? Squad Leader, you want to do it yourself?"
"You, what did you just say?" Ji Yijun came back to his senses and found that he had instinctively reached out to stop Enrique without realizing it.
"I said, you want to kill him yourself?"
"Look, what is he looking at?" Ji Yijun answered the question irrelevantly, but followed the goblin's line of sight to the side. It was an adult goblin lying on the ground four or five steps away. The goblin's neck had been cut in half from the back of his head, and the blood had dyed the surrounding land red. He must have died on the way to escape.
"An escaped goblin, a poor guy who was hacked to death from behind. Maybe it was his father, maybe it was his grandfather, who knows? Goblins give birth faster than pigs. They are damned bastards that can't be killed all. " Enrique said swearingly.
Dad? Ji Yijun suddenly understood the look in the young goblin's eyes, which were so similar to his own in the mirror... He pointed his knife at the goblin, but was unable to chop it down.
"Boss, you can't bear it?" Enrique asked curiously.
"Bullshit! Bullshit, how could I not have the heart to do that? I, how could I not have the heart to do that? Ah..." Ji Yijun yelled, and swung his sword and chopped it down. He seemed to be venting his anger, and chopped it down four or five times, until the goblin was chopped into several pieces without any shape. Then he gasped and raised his sword. He pointed to the front and shouted hoarsely: "Charge! Charge forward and kill all these bastards!"
On the other side, Ye Zi led her team to approach a larger thatched house. She asked her subordinates to occupy a good position and suddenly used a spear to pry open the wooden door. However, the scene in front of her stunned her.
There were no hiding goblin warriors in the house, only a few obviously female goblins, holding a few little goblins, curled up in the corner of the house. The little goblins, some smaller than a person's knee, were hiding behind their mothers and shivering. The little ones were only slightly bigger than a palm, and were trying to find milk.
Ye Zi's action of opening the door obviously frightened them. Some of the goblins immediately screamed and cried, while the rest looked at her with fear.
"Ye Zi, these goblins...what should we do?" Cao Lu was originally holding a rifle and hiding behind Ye Zi, but when he saw this scene, he put down his gun involuntarily.
"We were ordered to wipe out the goblins." Wu Qi said coldly. After the incident of jumping off the building, she seemed to have changed her personality and looked like a piece of ice.
"You must be joking. These are still infants. How can you do that to them?" Cao Lu asked, "Ye Zi, why don't you go ask Captain Wang for instructions?"
Ye Zi's face was heavy, but she still nodded and ordered: "Watch this place and be careful of your surroundings. Don't get ambushed by other goblins. I'll go find the battalion commander."
"Is this what you left your combat post to ask me?" Wang Jiyuan's first words made Ye Zi's heart sink. Wang Jiyuan looked at the girl in military uniform in front of him, shook his head and said, "It seems that you are still far from being a real soldier."
"Shouldn't a true warrior have compassion?" Ye Zi asked unwillingly.
"The first thing a true warrior must do on the battlefield is to follow orders, whether he understands them or not. I think I have made the goal of this battle very clear before we set out: clear out all the goblins in this area! Don't you understand this Chinese sentence? Not to mention that you abandoned your subordinates and came back to report such trivial matters!" Wang Jiyuan answered seriously.
"I, I don't think the goblin women and children should be killed. If we do this, what's the difference between us and those inhumane massacres in history? We will become executioners and demons!"
Hearing Ye Zi talking about demons, Wang Jiyuan was so angry that he laughed. He stretched out his finger and pointed in front of Ye Zi's eyes, saying: "Although I am not a historian, I also understand a simple truth. The reason you can stand here alive today is because your ancestors did what you said the demons did. Otherwise, how could your blood and genes be passed down to the present? On Earth, I would not let you do such a thing. In our time, it is not necessary and impossible. But here, we must do such a thing, otherwise we ourselves or our descendants will not survive!"
Ye Zi wanted to argue. She felt that Wang Jiyuan's words sounded too harsh, but she couldn't find a reason to refute at the moment. She could only repeat: "But they are just children, right?"
Wang Jiyuan sighed and said, "During the mobilization meeting, I asked the villagers to share their own experiences. These days, adults and children in each village have been captured by these goblins, tied up and eaten. Do you think these female goblins and child goblins will eat people? Since the entire tribe has participated in such things, they must bear the consequences. I know you are a kind and righteous child, but if you choose to go down this path, you must understand whether you can withstand the test on this path... Otherwise, it is better to leave as soon as possible."
At this time, Zhang Hong, the translator who had been listening for a while, interrupted and said, "Captain Wang, if it doesn't work, let my bodyguard Gameiro do the dirty work. Why make things difficult for the little girl?"
Wang Jiyuan ignored Zhang Hong and asked Ye Zi, "Can you solve this problem yourself?"
Ye Zi glanced at Zhang Hong and the excited giant behind him, then glanced at the expressionless Wang Jiyuan, clenched his fists, and uttered a few words: "I'll handle it myself!"
Ye Zi returned to the thatched house and saw that her team members were all standing there in silence. The atmosphere was quite heavy. She pulled out a dagger from her waist and said to Cao Lu and others, "I will take care of this matter. You don't need to follow me in."
"What! Wang Jiyuan... is actually going to force you to do it?" Cao Lu screamed.
"Don't worry about it." Ye Zi walked into the room.
"Deputy Platoon Leader, I, I can do this." Wu Qi grabbed her, but her voice was trembling.
Ye Zi shook his head slowly.
"Stay outside, that's an order!" she ordered, then walked into the house and closed the door.
Soon, there were crashing sounds and goblin screams in the house, but the screams didn't last long before they quieted down. After a while, the door was opened.
Cao Lu found that there was no blood on Ye Zi's body. He looked inside the door and saw no goblin.
There was only a glaring crack on the wooden wall at the back of the room.
