Light clouds floated quietly over the crescent moon. After waiting for three days, what was supposed to come finally came.
The low war drums roared, and a group of bloated figures appeared in the night.
I'm afraid the only ones who make such a high-profile march are the ogres with relatively simple minds.
Ogres, like goblins, are nocturnal monsters and are natives of the Forbidden Forest. Originally, they should have their own territories and food sources, and they would rarely conflict.
But this time, for some unknown reason, the ogres began to attack the goblins aggressively, as if they were being driven away by something behind them.
As the war drum approached, Lu Xidong stared nervously at the shadows of the dark forest. The night did not affect his vision, which was also one of his advantages as a demon.
Next to him, Yundi was completely blind in the darkness. At this time, she could only tilt her ears, nervously listening to the sounds around her, and firmly grasped the corner of Lu Xidong's clothes with one small hand.
She originally wanted to make a fireball so that at least she wouldn't be so scared, but in the end Yun Di followed Lu Xidong's advice and endured it for the time being.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
I don’t know why, but when that abominable devil said this, Yundi found that she actually believed it.
Am I too naive? Yundi asked herself.
However, before she could figure out the problem, a loud noise that shattered the quiet night came over.
"Ouch~" The first ogre that rushed out let out a dull roar, waving a mace full of iron nails in his hand, and ran quickly towards the goblin village.
His companions were not to be outdone. More and more ogres came into Lu Xidong's sight. The ogres were large monsters. The smallest one was over two and a half meters tall, and the largest one was even taller. It's already over three meters.
On this continent, adventurers divide monsters into six levels from A to F. Those that are stronger will be added with a "+" sign, those that are weak or above a certain level or below will be added with a "-" sign. Human demons are considered to be C-level monsters.
The reason why they remain at the level of C-class monsters is mainly because the ogres' somewhat reckless character and straightforward IQ restrict their status among monsters.
The ogre running with a belly made the ground roar, as if Lu Xidong's heart was shaken to his throat.
The crazy monsters made him secretly frightened. The tense atmosphere made Lu Xidong realize for the first time that this was a strange and different world. He looked at the goblins around him, and all of them had green faces with no expressions. Lu Xidong was slightly A little calmer.
He was now the boss of the goblins. Lu Xidong's strong words and the changes that had taken place in the group of goblins after they became dependents made Guluwa's messengers sent to the nearby area bring back a large number of followers.
Facing the threat of the ogre group, the primitive survival instinct of the goblins helped them make the right choice. They are a group of timid low-level monsters.
Even if he evolves into a big goblin, many deep-rooted habits cannot be changed. "Gulu," Guluwa's throat made a habitual sound. The wet palm made the position where he was holding the stone ax a little slippery. When others were not paying attention, he Sweat was secretly wiped on the animal skin.
While Lu Xidong was observing him, Guluwa was also secretly observing his new master. The tall demon's dark red eyes were concentrating on the man-eating trolls approaching crazily, and his face was coldly connected. Not a single muscle was touched.
"Don't let the master down, relax, take a deep breath!" Guluwa muttered silently in his heart, trying to calm himself down, but he couldn't suppress his accelerated heartbeat. He could only make sure that his face didn't show fear and his calves no longer trembled.
Sometimes, when two equally nervous and fearful guys hold on and don't want to give each other the impression of being weak, courage comes naturally.
The ogre was getting closer and closer, with its naked upper body using natural camouflage to outline a weird totem. The stench from its bloody mouth was already blowing towards his face. Lu Xidong licked his dry lips, waiting for the attack. The timing of the command.
With a loud bang, the opportunity appeared.
It was a man-made opportunity. Many ogres' heavy bodies fell in an instant, and messy pits appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
The reason why I say it is a mess is because these pits are really irregular, with chaotic intervals and different depths. Some trolls disappeared completely, while others only fell down.
As a result, the ogres were in confusion. The ones in front were hesitating whether to step on their companions and continue into the unknown battlefield, while the ones behind were still crowding forward. Lu Xidong was waiting for this opportunity.
"Fire the arrow!" Lu Xidong shouted.
The Goblin's inferior arrows were shot. Although the strength of the bow was not high, the ogre had already rushed close enough. Many monsters were shot, and they let out angry screams.
The goblin who couldn't shoot threw the stones he had collected before. In a sense, the stones hitting the ogre were more effective than the arrows, especially the fat monster who was hit on the head. Most of them fainted.
The wanton goblins made the ogres furious. The ogres, who were originally confused by the trap, no longer hesitated and moved forward bravely, even if they were stepping on the bodies of their companions.
The overwhelming physical advantage began to show at this moment. An ogre finally rushed to the wooden boarding of the goblin lair and reached out to pull the fragile board.
"Oh~"
Screams were heard, and the leading ogre retracted its bloody claws, and saw that it was covered with short sharp arrows. Goblins themselves did not know how to cast iron, but adventurers entering and leaving the Forbidden Forest left behind A large number of discarded weapons were picked up by the weak goblins and put to use at this time.
Behind each wooden board, a large number of weapons with outward-edged blades were fixed. A few unintelligent ogres suffered a secret loss, and no one dared to reach out to pull out the wooden fence anymore.
In the gap between the hoardings, the hemp ropes fixed with wooden stakes tripped a few more ogres, and the heavy stone ax hit the back of the head, reducing the ogres' combat power by a few more.
The charge has been hindered, the ogres are roaring, but there is nothing they can do. The locust-like arrows and stones build a long-range attack network for the goblins, constantly killing the ogres.
"@￥%#" One of the ogres raised his stick and shouted. Although he couldn't understand what he was shouting, the frightened ogres obviously calmed down a lot and worked hard to get closer to him.
At this moment, a fireball flew out of the Goblin's position and headed straight for the ogre.
Lu Xidong's trump card, the elemental mage Yundi, played an important role at this time, hitting the opponent's leader with one blow.
The thick-skinned ogre can still resist the physical attacks of arrows, stone axes, but it is unable to resist magical attacks such as fireball.
The fat grease was ignited by the fireball. The ogre screamed and rolled, bringing down its companions. The ogres who were still desperately gathering here fled in all directions. The raging fire swallowed up the food in the blink of an eye. The life of the leader of humans and demons.
More fireballs continued to fly out, and the ogres who had lost their backbone no longer had the fighting spirit. The surviving guys turned around and ran into the dense forest where they came from, not caring about their injured companions all over the ground, and ran as fast as they could. And ran away.
"Master, have we won?" Watching the ogres who had suppressed his race for a long time escape, Guluwa seemed to not believe his eyes.
"Yes, we have won, everyone cheers!" Lu Xidong raised the big sword, "Goblins I protect, from now on you will enjoy victory with me. Cheer!"
Goblin, the weakest monster who had been bullied by other monsters, cheered loudly for the first time in the background as the ogre fled.
Perhaps what they gain is not just the right to survive, but also something called self-confidence.
This was an inconspicuous battle, but it was also the first step on the road to the Demon King Lucidong. In the history books written by Guruva's descendants, this battle was called the "First Battle of the Rise of the Goblins."
The reason why it is called the first battle is because this matter is not over yet...
