Arcane Universe

The mercenary group marched along the river bank for seven or eight kilometers toward the depths of this corrupt forest. Until the time of camping, they still did not see the shadow of an undead.

The mercenaries lit a large bonfire in the forest, dried the ground, set up tents on the dried ground, and hoisted the hammock.

On this quiet night when the mercenaries are almost used to them, their camp was accidentally attacked by a group of goblins.

The attack occurred at midnight.

The attacker avoided the ordinary warning trap, but did not avoid the magic alarm. After the mercenary on duty heard the alarm sound, without the slightest hesitation, according to the mercenary’s night duty rule, use the scroll in the camp all Around released several light spells to completely light up the camp all around, exposing the enemies of the sneak attack to the light.

This move is very effective. It cancels out the goblin’s darkvision advantage at once.

The raid was discovered, the goblins chose the latter between retreat and storm, and the battle began.

The goblin wolf cavalry rushed up first.

The skinny goblin rides on the strong worg, and it hardly affects the latter’s flexibility.

More than 30 wolf cavalry drove around the periphery of the camp, and the goblin riding on the back of the wolf pulled out the short-barreled muskets inserted in the front leather barrel of the saddle, and launched an orderly fire towards the camp. .

Universe Pagoda told Feng Chou that these goblin wolf cavalry kept six wolf cavalry shooting each round, instead of a swarm of random shots, so that the gunshots could continue. Sounds, and always maintains pressure on the camp, if it is a recruit, it is possible to collapse under this continuous pressure.

But the members of the Sword of Salma Mercenary Group are obviously not newbies.

The moment the magic alarm sounded, everyone except Feng Chou showed their well-trained reaction ability. They sprang up from the hammock in unison, and they were in the dark as soon as they stretched out their hands. Zhong took off his own helmet, quickly put it on, and then skillfully grabbed his weapon and rushed out of the tent. Some people rushed toward the open space in the middle of the tent, while others rushed toward the shadows in the camp.

When the goblin wolf cavalry rushed to shoot, these mercenaries were almost ready to meet the enemy.

At this time, Feng Chou put on his helmet in a hurry. Fortunately, Universe Pagoda reacted faster than Feng Chou. It spotted the attacker a few seconds before the goblin triggered the magic alarm. According to Feng Chou’s instructions, he immediately activated the spell scroll stored in the Universe Pagoda and blessed Feng Chou with several defensive spells.

As soon as I put on my helmet, the continuous sound of gunfire resounded through the forest.

The harassment tactics of the goblin wolf cavalry did not scare the experienced mercenaries, but it scared Feng Chou enough.

Firstly, Feng Chou from Earth has a natural fear of gunfire, and secondly, he has suffered from the goblin musketeer’s losses.

Feng Chou lay his head on the ground amidst the gunfire, and did not dare to look up for a long time.

Fortunately, the Universe Pagoda’s scanning perspective was shared, allowing him to gradually grasp the battlefield situation.

The mercenaries who rushed to the center of the camp formed a simple formation according to the usual training tactics, with swords and shields outside, heavy weapon fighters to fill the gap, and strong archers at the center of the formation. .

As for Rogue, they have long since disappeared in the shadows.

After the muskets of the goblin wolf cavalry began to roar, the strong archers in the mercenary formation immediately began to counterattack.

This battle is different from the situation where Feng Chou and Hogan were chased by goblin wolf cavalry together. That day, a dozen wolf cavalry chased them two with muskets, and today it is more than 30. A wolf cavalry attacked nearly twenty mercenaries, and for the sustainability of the attack, the wolf cavalry fired every second. Therefore, the firepower that each mercenary had to endure was incomparable with Feng Chou.

Although the bullets fired by the goblin wolf cavalry are blessed with the divine technique as last time, the threat to the mercenaries is not great. Most of these bullets hit the shields of the sword and shield warriors. A small part was hit on the plate armor part of the fighters’ medium armor, and occasionally hit a certain fighter’s chain armor part, and the injuries caused were quickly healed. In the center of the formation, there was a fighter holding a healing scroll. Specially responsible for treatment.

The counterattack of the strong archers in the mercenary formation is extremely deadly for the goblin wolf cavalry.

The strong archers are all made of high-grade black steel, and have been enchanted with high-grade magic weapons. These strong archers with seven or eight fighter levels are all strengthened with magic. , A +3 magical powerful bow with a pulling force of up to 1,000 pounds. This magical powerful bow not only has the terrible pulling force that ordinary bows do not have, but also adds temporary magic effects such as elves hymns to the arrows, allowing this magic bow to shoot The arrow can be temporarily unaffected by air resistance and wind.

These effects overlap, so that the sharp arrows shot by the strong archers have terrible damage. Basically, a goblin wolf cavalry can be killed with one arrow.

However, this group of wolf cavalry is actually just a blindfold. In the chaos created by the wolf cavalry, the follow-up troops rushing up are the best of this group of goblins.

In the chaos created by the wolf cavalry, five trolls rushed up from the side of the camp, followed closely from behind more than a dozen bear goblins, and six hobgoblins behind the bear goblins.

According to the books and materials of the Antalia Mage School, hobgoblins and bear goblins are the products of bloodline transformation experiments conducted by the goblin empire.

The difference is that the bear goblin is the product of failed transformation, while the hobgoblin is the product of success.

Compared to the bear goblin gaining a strong body and losing most of its wisdom, the hobgoblin retains the goblin’s wisdom while also gaining a strong body.

Hobgoblins look like an enlarged version of ordinary goblins. They are larger than humans and are about two meters tall. Compared with the short and wretched ones of ordinary goblins, their stature is tall and tall. Bodybuilding.

Compared with bear goblins who have Level 3 warrior power in adulthood, hobgoblins only have the power of Level 2 warriors in adulthood, but they also have very good agility. They even have a higher level than the average goblin. intelligence.

Even Arcanist in those days admired the transformation of hobgoblins and thought it was a very successful bloodline transformation method. Although the advantages are not so prominent, there are almost no disadvantages.

According to data records, after the bloodline transformation ceremony of the hobgoblin was created, the nobles and rich people of the goblin empire all carried out bloodline transformations to themselves, transforming themselves and their descendants into hobgoblins .

So, in the goblin empire back then, hobgoblins were natural leaders and nobles, bear goblins were soldiers and cannon fodder, and ordinary goblins were low-level laborers.

Even today, the goblins of the Northern Continent have degraded to a state of ignorance, and the hobgoblins are still the natural leaders of the goblin tribe.
