Chapter 25: The Goblin Hero is Too Terrifying!

The distance between Orwick City and Locke City is not short. Taking the main road that Aize took back then as an example, it would take at least three days to walk at full speed.

During the day and night journey, some people will inevitably fall behind the group due to various reasons while taking a break.

Perhaps? They think they're completely safe once they leave Orwick City!?

On the hillside, a goblin scout let out a "hehehe" laugh.

He stared at the unarmed civilians, swallowed hard, and thought, "The males can be eaten, and the females can be taken back to the nest for a good time!" That's exactly what he was thinking!

Damn it!

He rubbed his hands together, thinking that after bringing it back to the lair, it would definitely have to go through the Goblin King's selection process. Yes! That big guy had the right to be the first choice; the ones left over would be theirs!

He felt uncomfortable thinking about this, and in fact, he wasn't the only one with this thought.

My good brother, oh! He's up in the tree! He's been resentful of that king for a long time!

Why should he be king?

He's just a little bigger, stronger, better equipped, a little smarter, a little richer, and has a loyal legion of goblin heroes. Putting all that aside, he's nothing but a piece of trash!

"Quiet!"

A hoarse voice came from the woods, and a fully armed warrior slowly walked in, holding a magic longsword.

He was armed to the teeth, except for the ears peeking out from under his helmet, which told people that he was also a goblin.

Goblin Hero!

Another extreme besides heavy cavalry, he wields a small round shield in his left hand and a magical longsword forged by goblin priests in his right, and wears a full suit of very fine armor.

His physique is also very similar to that of humans, which is why he has a certain physical advantage.

Behind the armor was a red cape, which looked very cool. If he were human, he would probably be regarded as a strongman.

But to these little goblins, the goblin hero is nothing more than the inferior offspring of the goblin king.

They obeyed his orders entirely out of fear of the king's wrath, that's right! Not out of fear of the goblin hero! Absolutely!

This goblin hero was unknown which child the Goblin King had, and from birth he was treated as an inferior being by the goblin priests.

His name is Shanyu, a name he chose himself. As members of the Goblin King's direct legion, they were stripped of their names at birth.

From birth, Shan Yu was raised to be a suicide soldier. The goblin priests locked some of the inferior goblin princes in cages and forced them to kill each other.

Those who survive will have a magical mark implanted in their bodies, implying they cannot betray the king, followed by years of training.

Whether it's magic or martial arts, their potential has been developed to the extreme. Even if their potential isn't outstanding, their strength far surpasses that of others with the same potential!

In addition, his adult armor and magical longsword allow him to easily unleash amplification abilities that are slightly less powerful than sword energy.

If we were to describe them in human terms, they would be called... Demon Swordsmen.

"Don't rush." ​​Shan Yu suppressed an impatient little goblin beside him.

He watched the crowds moving down the mountain toward Locke City.

One has to marvel at the power gathered by the goblin priests, which allowed them to calculate the direction of these civilians' evacuation and even teleport them here without anyone noticing.

Yes, he wasn't the only one on this mission.

Shan Yu glanced at the distant hills, where a column stood at each position, all waiting for their chance to devour all the civilians of Orvik City in one fell swoop!

"If we still decide to attack Orvik, we will inevitably have to fight the city's garrison head-on."

"Even if we take it, it will just be an empty city, nothing at all, a waste of effort."

Shan Yu glanced at the distant city of Orvik. If he could simply devour these civilians and then turn back to enter through the south gate, launching a surprise attack, the city would be easily captured!

At this time, the Goblin King should be leading his army toward the north gate, but how the battle is going there is unknown.

"Ready..." Shan Yu raised his hand, his gaze fixed on the distance, and the other squads also began to prepare for the attack.

The squad furthest away had already taken the lead in charging forward, and the civilians' ranks slowed down instantly, before one squad after another rushed up!

"charge!"

"twitter!"

A continuous horn blast sounded, and a large number of goblins crashed into the civilians' ranks. The civilians had never seen anything like this before!

"Don't come any closer! You damn brat! Get out of my way!"

Among them might be some strong and courageous individuals who could still wield hoes and sickles to drive them away in a pointless manner.

Most of the women were dragged away by goblins, and cries of agony filled the air.

A father desperately tried to protect his daughter, but he was no match for the sheer number of goblins. He was stabbed multiple times, coughing up blood, and leaned against his luggage, watching helplessly as his daughter was dragged away by the goblins.

"Brothers! Charge!" Some of the scattered mercenaries who had retreated with the main force gathered together, wielding longswords as they slashed at the goblins.

"clang--"

The longsword sparked in the air!

"What!" The man holding the sword stared in shock at the broken sword in his hand.

He looked up at the fine magic longsword and the goblin hero wielding it.

That astonishing pressure instantly rendered him unable to move!

The goblin hero raised his longsword. The man's eyes filled with tears, and he trembled with fear. Should he run? He absolutely had to run! But... he couldn't move!

Finally, he looked at the mercenaries not far away, who were also trembling and looking in his direction.

What are you all looking at?!

"Help me! Help me!!! I don't want to die!!!"

"Whoosh—"

A human head rolled into the crowd, accompanied by a headless corpse that was still convulsing. The crowd screamed instantly and lost all will to resist!

"Help!"

"Someone, please save us!"

Large numbers of goblins blocked the civilians' retreat, and with goblin heroes as their backers, they became even more unscrupulous.

Some even pounced on women's bodies and bit them, leaving bloody scenes everywhere.

However, no one could see the devastation here. Awwick City was too busy to help itself, and Locke City was unaware of the situation. Thus, the tragedy lasted for a whole day.

The following day, some of the civilians who had managed to escape brought the news to Locke City.

Aize arrived with his knights and a large number of guards.

There were no supplies left at the scene, except for a few poisoned and rotting corpses and a pool of blood.

Aize took off his helmet, his eyes filled with tears, unable to speak from his grievance.

The road leading to Locke City was drenched in blood, and looking at it, one could imagine the despair of the common people at that time.

He looked in the direction of Orvik City. Judging from the drag marks, the goblins seemed to be heading towards the south gate of Orvik City!

"Warriors! We must not let those beasts leave alive!" Aize put on his helmet and looked in the direction of Orvik City.

"Our destination is Orwick City. Let's go!"
