In the open space, the Goblin King and Androno were fighting fiercely. Their fists and sticks collided with each other, making crackling sounds.
Although Androno is a warrior, his attack style is more like a boxer. He adds various enhancements to his fists and every punch hits the target.
The Goblin King is a legendary melee mage who attaches magic power to his long staff. Once he hits, the mixed damage of magic and physical is enough to inflict heavy damage on people.
After several rounds of confrontation, the higher-level Androno was the first to suffer losses.
As soon as the BUFF on him dissipated, his flaw was exposed, and the Goblin King hit Andno in the chest with a stick.
Androno spat out a mouthful of blood, grabbed the stick with his backhand, pulled it forward, and punched the Goblin King in the face.
The Goblin King was indifferent and stared at Androno with a disdainful smile.
“Very capable.”
Androno was extremely surprised, he had never heard of a talking goblin before, how intelligent was it, and what on earth was he fighting against!
"What's there to be surprised about, old man?" The Goblin King kicked Androno in the abdomen.
Gastric juice rose to his chest and Androno flew backwards instantly. Resisting the urge to vomit, he lowered his center of gravity, got on all fours and stabilized his body.
"Oh, you didn't fall down. I will kill you with the next blow. You will become the stepping stone for the revival of our Goblin Empire!"
"Haha." Androno laughed, "Arrogant, even if we all die here today, when you get out, you will..."
"Will there be more powerful adventurers waiting for me when I get out?" The Goblin King waved the long stick in his hand and sneered, "I know very well that I am a frog in the well. Even if I have reached this level of cultivation, I am still too weak. But in the end, it is you humans who will lose. Think about why the people who come here are all inferior D-level adventurers, or adventurers who have just entered the C-level!"
Could it be that everything is in its plan? If so, the entire rescue team might be in danger.
Anderno was incredulous and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Goblins are very weak monsters, so there's no need for adventurers above level B to take action. Or maybe adventurers above level B are busy looking for dungeons full of treasures and don't have the time to deal with weak monsters like us. Even if a disaster occurs, those arrogant adventurers won't take it seriously. That gives me enough time, enough time to come here and become stronger."
The Goblin King was far wiser than expected. Androno's inner uneasiness gradually became a reality, and he clenched his fists.
If the Goblin King is not defeated here today, he will surely become the second Goblin Emperor in time.
However, if we attack by force, we will definitely not be its match. Now we can only delay it until reinforcements arrive.
"I know what you're thinking. Your reinforcements are probably in a stalemate with my troops right now. What a pity. That team was clearly used to ambush you. However, humans seem to be braver than I thought. I will not let you come here."
The Goblin King swung his long stick at Androno, and Androno's muscles bulged. The breath of destruction gathered on his fist and he launched an [Annihilation Blow].
Andno's fist collided with the Goblin King's long stick, the ground cracked, and the bursting momentum blew away many nearby goblin soldiers.
"Even if they win, it won't be easy for them to find this place. This is the unit I lead directly. There are more than one goblin unit in this forest. If they go to the wrong place and find a training ground, the time it takes them to get here will increase exponentially."
In a pure clash of power, both sides were evenly matched, but the Goblin King was superior. There was magic attached to his long staff. The moment of contact, the magic invaded Androno's body and corroded his body.
Androno was hit hard by the long stick and flew away. His injuries continued to accumulate and his body was already tired. He didn't know how long he could hold on.
"hateful!"
"Face it! This is the cruelty of reality. If you surrender obediently and become my sacrifice, I might be the last one to kill you." The goblin's eyes were full of mockery, and he swung his stick arrogantly. "Don't expect the elite troops you sent to come to rescue you. Your elite troops should have been killed by the assassination troops I sent out long ago."
Elite Force? What does it say
Suddenly, Andeno's face showed some confusion. In his mind, the scenes of Yang Yu proposing to conduct reconnaissance first and Yang Yu bringing back Secamens flashed one after another.
Could it be that after encountering Sekamens' team, Yang Yu took precautions and deliberately created the illusion that we were divided into two teams
"How ridiculous! Is it really that unbelievable? I am much smarter than you. I have already seen through your little tricks!"
The Goblin Dynasty Androno walked slowly, it wanted to destroy the strongest in this team, not only his body, but also his heart, to let these arrogant humans taste the taste of failure.
Coming in front of Androno, the Goblin King opened his arms and said, "Take a good look! Your rescue team has been drowned in my Goblin army and has been killed without a complete body! Listen carefully! This is the shrill sound of despair. It is you who brought them into despair!"
The goblin closed his eyes proudly and listened to the sounds of the battlefield.
Unlike what it had imagined, all it heard were the sounds of close combat and the defeat of one short body after another falling down.
It is normal for the goblin army to attack the rescue team and encounter resistance and the death of a few goblins. After a brief period of pain, they will eventually reap the fruits of victory.
but.
Reality, like a hammer falling from the sky, shattered the Goblin King's dream.
The Goblin King turned his head sharply towards the battle area.
The rescue team's defense was in good order, without any disorder. On the other hand, their own Goblin Legion suffered countless casualties. The Goblin Legion, which had an overwhelming advantage, was actually eaten up by half, while the other side seemed to have no losses.
How can this be
Androno raised his fist and rushed towards the stunned Goblin King. The Goblin King swung his long stick to block Androno's attack, and then hit Androno in the abdomen with a counter-attack, sending Andron flying.
This time, Androno managed to stabilize himself by tumbling and crawling, and he began to mock:
"Haha, you didn't expect that! Although you are very capable and have predicted many of our actions, it seems that you and your subordinates are not very good at leading troops in battle.
Your troops obey your orders and regulations completely and seem to be completely inflexible.
This is the army you lead as a dictator!
I don’t think the army can really go to the battlefield like this.”
"shut up!"
Many years passed, and the Goblin King roared for the first time in a long time.
It was able to stand above all the goblins in this forest because of its unique intelligence. When it became the king, it also realized that except for itself, basically all the goblins lived by instinct.
Although it is not without some enlightenment to them, it often only touches on them.
An army that is too smart is difficult to control, so stupidity is necessary.
Just as it thought, its goblin army obeyed its orders. No, it should be said that all the goblins obeyed its orders and went to die without any complaints.
No goblin was dissatisfied with its use of weak and old goblins to cultivate the wrong perception of humans; no goblin had any doubts about its decisions; no goblin refused to carry out its orders, even at the cost of their lives.
