Although he was slapped in the face by the system, Edward still happily accepted the system task.
After all, after several days of groping and familiarizing himself with the existence of the system, he also understood that doing quests would give him more experience and rewards than hunting monsters everywhere.
It's just that the previous missions were all daily missions - hunting 10 rodents, weekly missions - collecting 30 wild boar tusks, and this was the first time I encountered side missions.
After confirming the content of the task, several people immediately sneaked closer to the direction of the battle sound.
Soon they reached the side of the battlefield, hiding in a cluster of lush bushes and peeking at the situation in the field.
The battle took place in a rather wide forest clearing. There were several carriages in the middle of the clearing. Edward recognized them as the wandering wagons of the traveling merchant at once. In the past, traveling merchants would occasionally pass by Kenwitson Village, and at those times, the whole village would become as lively as a festival. It's a pity that Kenwitson Village is too poor, and the whole village has no savings. Traveling merchants can't make much money in the village, and they don't appear much over time.
The outside was densely packed with goblins more than one meter high. Although they didn't have any decent weapons and armor, they probably numbered more than a hundred.
The camel beast in the truck was dead, and the mercenaries with swords piled up the corpses around the truck as a simple fortification.
There are about eleven or two mercenaries and traveling merchants. Although they have sharp weapons and excellent leather armor, they can't bear the ants to kill the elephants. Two people have lost their battles in the simple defense circle built by the carcasses of camel beasts. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the wounded who are able to lose their defense.
"What should I do? Do you want to do it?" Joe swallowed and asked Edward in a low voice.
"..." Edward bit his nails with a hesitant expression.
Even Goudan and Jessica seemed hesitant.
It was the first time for them to face such a dangerous situation, and what made them even more worried was that there were too many goblins. Even if they went up to help together, they might be killed by goblins!
Although they have become 'players', Xi Wei once mentioned to them that as long as they have enough experience points, they can be resurrected even if they die. But their mentality still hasn't been completely reversed. Although they have suffered a lot of bumps and injuries during the period from Kenwitson Village to the present, no one has 'died' until now.
Alina didn't mind it at all. As a saint, her faith is much stronger than the other four.
"If you don't do it, let me attract the attention of the goblins." The girl was eager to try: "I think I can hit ten!"
"But there are definitely more than a hundred of them." Goudan retorted softly.
"Little ancestor, you are the only one among us who knows the resurrection technique. If you die in battle, according to what the adult said, we will have to wait for three days before you can be resurrected!" Edward also hurriedly stopped.
"And it will deduct 20% more experience." Jessica added.
"Hey, but every time I hide behind, I'm so bored..."
Alina complained dissatisfied.
Edward gave Joe, who is a soldier, a look of "you also help to persuade her".
Joe immediately showed a knowing expression.
Then he yelled 'wryyyyy! 'Rush out of the bushes and kill the goblins.
Immediately, the entire battlefield, including the goblins and mercenaries, all looked at them.
"That idiot!"
Edward didn't care about continuing to talk to Elena, he picked up his staff and followed quickly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Goudan moved faster, and had already wound up and shot a goblin who was trying to sneak up on Joe. Jessica threw a power boost to Joe.
"We are members of the 'Silver Wind Chimes' Chamber of Commerce, thank you for your support!" A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman among the group of mercenaries shouted to them overjoyed.
After waiting for a while, he shouted strangely again: "Where is the follow-up support? Where are you adults?"
"There is no follow-up support," Edward threw a frost bomb to freeze the two goblins, and then replied: "There are only five of us."
So the expression of the middle-aged man, who was still overjoyed, suddenly changed to the previous expression of mourning.
The five little ghosts who didn't even grow all their hairs, in this situation of being attacked by the goblin tribe, were nothing but a drop in the bucket.
But not long after, his expression changed again. Those five strange little ghosts were surprisingly powerful.
Although the burliest little ghost has weak forehand and backhand, unsteady gait and slow reaction, and none of his movements are decent, but every time he strikes, he can pick up a goblin into the air, regardless of the previous goblin. It doesn't make any difference whether you are charging or swinging the stick, all of them will be knocked into the air!
The strange thing is, if it was any other swordsman, at this time, he would directly hit the goblin's vital point with nowhere to escape, and directly kill them, but he was different... After picking a flying goblin with his sword, his next step is to grapple him and throw him on his back...
Although powerful, but always feel something wrong.
As for the mage kid who looks like the leader, it is even more terrible. The middle-aged man has seen those mage masters in big cities before, and he was fortunate enough to watch them cast spells up close, but those mage masters must chant before casting spells. For spells, one has to prepare spell-casting materials, and even for the more powerful ones, one has to make gestures or something to cast spells.
Although the sorcerer kid only has ice ball and fireball to come and go, he can cast magic directly without any preparation.
Ordinary mages: "Spirits of water in the atmosphere, listen to my call, assemble, change, and shape, use the name of ice, freeze the blood and bones of the enemy, and bring death cold to the earth..."
Mage Imp: "Frost Bomb."
That's pretty much what it feels like.
And after such a long period of time, the power of his magic has not decreased at all, it is really incredible!
