A series of loud thuds echoed from within the goblin horde—
Before the eyes of the heroes, one goblin centurion after another rose from the countless goblins, wielding clubs or greatswords as they charged toward the town.
In the blink of an eye, they jumped to the front of the town!
The original mage force was too busy to deal with these goblin centurions and could only watch helplessly as they approached.
Even the slightest distraction could allow a large number of ordinary goblins to approach the town!
"Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!"
Another series of muffled thuds exploded like thunder in our ears amidst the countless squawking of goblins.
Dozens of goblin centurions, their bodies glowing red, took to the air once more, about to leap over the city walls and into the city!
[Bow Warrior: Anti-air unit preparation ≤ "{=$▲⌒№∧qun：——
kill!!】
"Om-!!"
Various loud noises came from different directions of the city: huge arrows, pillars of fire, giant swords of solid ice, and metal drills with their power compressed to the extreme.
The ranged attack hero, whose strength and magic power both exceed 30, used 85% of his magic power to directly target the intended enemy!
"?!!"
The goblin centurions had no time to react and had no idea that, in addition to the mages bombarding them from above, there was an even bigger surprise waiting for them in the town!
Rather, they were unable to adjust their position to dodge while in the air!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!!"
The blood mist exploded, and dozens of goblins were all fatally injured to varying degrees within three seconds!
Some died on the spot, some had half their bodies blown off, and even the least injured lost both legs. Falling from such a height without the cushioning effect of their legs, they were almost all dead.
The first wave of goblin centurions attempting to enter the town...
Total destruction!
"Replenish your food!"
As the archer shouted, he tossed his messy long hair aside and stuffed a handful of noodles into his mouth without a care for his image, getting sauce all over his white sleeves and face.
The battle continues!
This is just the first wave of goblin centurions!
No one knows exactly how many goblin centurions there are, because Miluko killed more than a dozen that night alone.
Furthermore, if the Goblin Centurion parachutes in, their [anti-air force] will be the ones to engage him.
Defeat them with special skills before they hit the ground! (Nine)
Meanwhile, on the other side... four
Goblin King Gordon was on the other side of the mountain, silently observing everything before him.
Unlike usual, it wasn't accompanied by its two goblin champions, but only by a few small, thin goblin shamans to relay messages.
It didn't bring any centurions or chiliarchs, because that would be too conspicuous in the forest. Temple
Gordon only wanted to observe and watch the humans; he had no intention of fighting from the beginning.
After witnessing the earth suddenly split open, it became even more certain that it could not participate in the war.
At least... I can't go now.
"Humans are indeed not that simple."
Gordon thought to himself.
Originally, goblin air raids were a tactic that could catch the enemy off guard.
Goblins of centurion rank and above have the ability to easily leap into the air and launch attacks into the city that are difficult for the enemy to defend against.
After all, defenses are generally concentrated outside the city.
However, it was clear that the opposing commander knew that his side would adopt this tactic and had made preparations in advance.
And human magic...
"If a centurion can't even withstand one hit, I doubt a chiliarch would gain much of an advantage either."
A centurion's defense is not much higher than a corps commander's. If a corps commander can be killed in one hit, then a centurion could also be severely injured in one hit if he goes in.
With only eight officers, the centurion was already considered the second strongest fighting force, assuming Gordon wasn't planning to participate in the war.
Simple airstrikes seem to be not going to work.
Sending a centurion in would probably be suicide.
It can only be combined with other tactics.
For example, attacking from both the ground and the air simultaneously.
But there are probably humans defending the ground in towns, right?
While the mages were focused on dealing with ordinary goblins, they were completely unable to cope with the advanced combat forces on the ground.
However, the advanced combat forces on the ground were able to destroy the high places where the mages were located.
Once the mages are defeated, the goblins will flood the town, making it even more difficult for the humans to cope.
That is to say...
The key now lies in the city's defense on the ground.
Whether they win or lose depends on which side, the human warriors or the goblin warriors, is stronger.
Thinking of this, Gordon chuckled.
A war like this is something you might only witness a few times in your lifetime; it's far more interesting than the petty squabbles between different goblin empires.
Do you remember the last war against the alien race? It was the destruction of a small orc tribe.
Although it took some effort to take it down, the spectacle was nowhere near as impressive as what we're seeing right now!
Gordon was getting restless, wishing he could point fingers on the battlefield and personally lead the attack on the town.
But it held back.
Since it had said that it would let the two goblin champions command and that it would not fight such a meaningless war, let's wait and see how the two goblin champions perform.
What strategy will these two not-so-bright kids use next?
Gordon was very curious.
As long as the two of them survive, the war will be considered a small loss, and it will even help the empire reduce its livestock and make its resources more abundant.
Let's have some fun!
"Oh!"
Just then, it saw a goblin centurion leap into the air, jumping directly out of the goblin horde and over the abyss blocking its way.
[Swift Warrior: Anti-air units, prepare! The Goblin Centurion has appeared!]
At this moment, the anti-aircraft warriors in the town were all staring intently at the sky.
Once the Goblin Centurion appears within your designated attack range, immediately use your special skill to kill him!
There can be no hesitation whatsoever!
However, the warriors watching the goblin centurion from the city walls didn't see it leap up again; instead...≤
He raised his broadsword!
"Oh!"
The greatsword blasted towards the mages' tower like a cannonball!
"I've been waiting for you!! Hahahaha!!"
From the mage's platform, a robust figure leaped into the air. Layton, holding a heavy shield, met the incoming giant blade head-on.
"Bang!!"
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, and Layton and the throwing knife flew out simultaneously, bouncing in different directions.
The goblin centurion, watching all this from below, was also astonished. How could a human withstand his attack?!
Goblin Centurion:
Strength: 60 Agility: 20 Stamina: 15
Resilience: 20 Magic: 4 Intelligence: 3
Tip: 10
It did not enter the "Encouragement" state because "Encouragement" itself is a skill that puts the body into an overload state.
Once the [Inspire] effect wears off, they will become extremely weak and lose their ability to fight.
A standard Goblin Chieftain is already much stronger than an enhanced Goblin Centurion, so there's no need to use [Inspire] at the beginning.
However, even without enhancement, its power is as high as 60.
Even the strongest goblin wouldn't dare stand still and take a hit from it.
Because goblins are not demons with particularly strong defenses.
However, that human...
It actually blocked its attack with just a strange shield?
But thinking about it, that blow would have either killed him or seriously injured him.
however……
Layton, who had just been knocked away, leaped up the building with incredible agility, unlike a burly man in heavy armor.
“Roar…” Even the goblin centurion looked puzzled.
However, it did not forget its purpose.
"Roar--!!"
