The weather was not good the next day. It was gloomy and the north wind was strong. The fine snowflakes were swept across the ground, blowing on those whose clothes were not thick enough, it was like a knife cutting them.
But this kind of weather is a good thing for the Darland sweeper army. In this kind of weather, the goblins cannot send out sentries. Even with the leadership of the chief, the goblins with backward civilization cannot prepare the sentries enough to keep out the cold. Thick clothes, but if you don’t have thick clothes, how can you go out and stand sentry in this kind of weather? In less than half an hour, the body would be frozen to the bone and ready to be collected.
Even if the goblin chief arranged for sentries, the sentries could only huddle in the cave and come out from time to time to take a look. In this kind of weather, the warning effect is almost zero, and two or three experienced scouts can solve them all.
This is indeed the case. The mid-level thief under Baron Dahl acted alone early in the morning. Then around noon, he came back and reported: "You can act after lunch. I have confirmed the two goblin outposts. The sentry will be killed in advance."
Baron Dahl was not surprised by such a result. With the thief's skill, it was unusual to achieve such a result, but it was strange to not be able to do so.
So he ordered the sweepers to rest temporarily, eat and drink, and after fully recovering their physical strength and spirit, they would march along the route that the thief had marked, and annihilate the group of goblins in one go.
The priests of the Church of the Mask of the Void are behind the vanguard of the anti-Japanese army. In front of them were fifty armed soldiers and two knights. Not far behind them were almost the same number of shooters.
As for Baron Dar, he was further back and was being protected by the remaining fifty soldiers and knights to ensure safety.
The servants naturally followed at the end. The militias composed of the local ruffians were on the outside, and the pure servants composed of the poor were on the inside. In general, Baron Dahl did spend some thought to avoid casualties as much as possible.
For him, this may just be to prevent the morale of the army from being damaged, but for the priests of the Church of the Mask of the Void, Baron Dar has fulfilled the agreement well, so they will also fulfill the agreement well.
"Well, if the opponents are just some goblins, it really can't be called a big battle!" A paladin said with some boredom, "I killed a lot of goblins when I was a farmer. This thing is too easy to deal with. It's completely Can’t be called an opponent.”
Looking at his stature as strong as a bear and the heavy armor that can knock ordinary people to the ground, you can tell how strong he is. Such a strong man can defeat goblins relatively easily even if he doesn't know any martial arts. Not to mention that he was already close to the intermediate level. Enemies like goblins, as long as they didn't encounter chiefs and shamans, even groups of goblin warriors, would be vulnerable to him.
In the stories, there are often heroes and heroes who can defeat hundreds of people with one enemy, even sweeping away thousands of armies without any enemy. If the enemy is limited to the level of ordinary goblins, defeating one enemy with one hundred people will not be a problem for him. Sweeping thousands of armies and so on, you can also try hard. The only thing that can't be done is probably being invincible.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful." The Kalaba priest frowned and said, "Also, pull down the mask. If you are hit by an arrow, no matter how heroic you are, you will not be able to withstand it. Goblin archers often put their arrows down. The tip is soaked in shit, you wouldn't want to be faced with an arrow soaked in goblin shit."
This threat was indeed powerful. The bear-like paladin immediately shut up and pulled down his mask, completely covering his face.
After a while, he couldn't help but say: "Everything about this mask is good, it's just a little bit stuffy."
"The mask definitely doesn't stifle you. It's your body that smells bad." The Kabbalah priest said lightly, "Just take more showers."
"... No wonder I haven't taken a shower these days!"
"No one has taken a shower in the past few days." The older pastor said with a smile, "That's what adventures are like. If there is a smell or something, just bear with it. If you need it, after this battle is over, if it's my There is still some magic left, so I can do a 'magic trick' for you to purify it. It will be somewhat effective."
"Magic Trick" is an entry-level spell that can do some supernatural things, such as slightly raising or lowering the surrounding temperature, making food and drinking water slightly more palatable, making clothes cleaner... and so on. No matter which effect is obvious, it can only be said to be better than nothing. Generally speaking, its main use is to cooperate with the same entry-level "illusion magic" to perform various magic methods similar to those on earth, such as dead branches blooming, various colors, light and shadow, or music appearing out of thin air.
However, it would be great if this spell could go one step further - the famous high-level spell "The Art of Transformation" is its evolution, and if it goes one step further, it would be the famous "Manifestation Art" among the legendary spells. . If there is still a condition to take the final step forward, it is the power of the gods, the extraordinary divine power to change reality.
Among mages, this spell is a basic skill, and there are almost no mages who don't know it. But among the priests, only those who major in the field of "wisdom" or "spells" can master this spell.
The old priest happened to have "wisdom" among his major fields of power.
So as long as he has enough magic power, he can indeed use some "magic tricks" for everyone. Although the effect may not be great, it is still better than nothing.
After receiving his promise, the sturdy paladin immediately became happy, patted his thick breastplate with his left hand wearing an iron glove, and laughed and said: "Then I will wait for your magic. Haha, I I’m really fed up with this smell! Heavy armor is good for everything, but it smells so bad!”
"You should say less." Another paladin, also wearing heavy armor, sighed, "I didn't feel it at first, but now I'm getting more and more uncomfortable after what you say!"
Everyone burst into laughter, not taking the upcoming battle seriously.
To be honest, this battle is really not worthy of being taken seriously by them.
By the time they arrived at the battlefield, the battle had already begun. The goblin tribe, which had lost its sentinel, completely failed to notice the arrival of the anti-Japanese army. It suffered a loss from the beginning. It was stunned by the rain of arrows that fell on its head and was unable to organize a decent formation at all.
This is the disadvantage of backward civilization. If it were a relatively highly civilized tribe such as the orcs, there would be at least a wall or fence around the tribe, and they would not be attacked by a barrage of arrows so easily. But goblins are not so clever. Their tribes are just caves or haystacks. Only the "great chiefs" and "noble shamans" have tents. To be honest, in this weather, the tents may not be as good as caves.
Burrows are good at protecting against arrows, but haystacks are completely useless. Moreover, there are naturally veteran adventurers in the army. They roared first, scaring the goblins out of their holes or haystacks in panic, and then rained arrows, so the effect was better.
Just the first wave of attacks turned the goblin tribe into chaos.
