Chapter 31: Hope and Despair

Looking at the battle in the distance, the fishmen began to rout, and now only rely on a few summons to keep the battle going.

"Let the Goblin Wizard move!" Kabrindo showed a smug smile in his hand, although he is also a goblin, but it is as tall as 1.8 meters, and has an unusually strong physique, unlike the slender muscles of ordinary goblin strips, the muscles all over its body are as high as rocks, which is due to the fact that it is born with the talent of "flesh strengthening".

Although he also lost a lot of his subordinates on his side, Cabrindo blinked disapprovingly, it is true that goblins of that level do not need to feel pity at all, as long as they reoccupy the territory, they can recruit more.

When it thought about the territory, its heart was instantly filled with anger.

"Damn goat-man!" With a gnashing curse from his mouth, Kabrin threw a punch that shattered a rock beside him. This sudden move frightened the four goblins guarding the side into a pale face, although they were guards, they were originally goblin leaders with their own tribes, and they were also considered strong among goblins, but they could only bow their heads in fear in the face of Kabrindo's powerful power.

Kabrindo, born in a small mountain range ruled by goblins more than 200 kilometers away from this canyon, has a giant in the dwarf goblins, it has good strength, and what is even more terrifying is that its sensitivity is also outstanding in the goblins, so it is quite easy to defeat the leaders of several surrounding goblin tribes and unify the entire mountain range. As a leader, despite his brutal personality, he is also quite talented, attracting many small groups of goblins who come from far and wide to take refuge. It has adopted a cautious strategy towards humans, and although it will occasionally attack some villages, it will never set foot in the town's sphere of influence. Because it is quite clear that attacking a village will only be resisted by some adventurers hired by the villagers at most, and once it attacks the town, it will attract human armies, which it is difficult to deal with with at its current strength.

Always carefully expanding its power, although it has also suffered several crusades from adventurers, but it has been easily repulsed, and it is not impossible to become a king-level goblin if it continues like this.

However, all his plans were ruined by the stupid goatmen. Thousands of goat-man troops came out of nowhere and ransacked all the monster tribes and human villages along the way like locusts, all of which had little to do with themselves, but the goatmen who were not self-sufficient began to attack human towns in a grand manner. What's even more infuriating is that the human army that was urgently summoned to crusade against the goats also encircled and suppressed their own mountains by the way.

After finally gathering 10,000 goblin warriors, Kabrindo had to abandon the mountains and flee in a hurry, only 2,000 people were left who broke out after him. Blame the abominable goatmen for all this! The rage that had nowhere to vent was rampaging through his body like a beast, and Cabrindo let out a terrifying roar.

Then

There was a sound of wind cutting in his ears, and Cabrindo instinctively turned his head, and a slender shadow crossed his cheek and landed on the ground behind him, revealing its true form after a violent shake, which was a short harpoon specially designed for projection.

Cabrindo turned his gaze to the front, and as if falling from the sky, three fish-men appeared. A silver fishman with two short swords in his hands, a silver fishman with a fighting spirit in his eyes, a gray fishman with a long harpoon on his back, and a black fishman with a dark red luster with a wooden weapon inlaid with blue crystals similar to a staff.

"I was dodged, this guy is not only tall, but also very agile, it seems that it is difficult to deal with." The gray fish-man let out a somewhat regretful sigh.

"Prepare for battle!" The black fish-man muttered something silently, and then a dark red light lit up on the two fish-men beside him at the same time.

"You're the leader of the goblins, I'm Livada the Fishman, and I'm here to defeat you!" The silver fishman raised the two short swords in his hand and said imposingly.

"Ha, the fishman who can't help himself, came at the right time!" Cabrindo took the hammer from the guard and laughed unsharpened, then turned to the side, "Don't make a move, you four, I'll play with them." ”

"Yes!" X4

The four guards obediently stepped aside.

At this moment, it was Livada, Rak, and Blackvein who had not appeared on the battlefield that came to Cabrindo.

Rewind to last night's fish-man conference.

Livada said confidently: "There is a reason why I chose this territory where I live as the place of the decisive battle, because I have checked the traces of the goblins' stationing before, and their leaders should be at the rear of the entire army, and there is an underground lake under the river in my territory, we can go directly behind the goblin army through the underground lake, once the leader of the other party is killed, I believe that the goblin army will soon collapse." ”

"Although you are very powerful, but since you are the leader, there must be a lot of guards around you, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to win alone, so it is better to let me go with you, I can find an opportunity to shoot the other party's leader directly with a harpoon." Listening to Livada's strategy, Lark also expressed his thoughts.

"If you're going to assassinate the leader, count me in, I can use magic to assist you," Blackstripe also suggested the idea of joining the operation.

"Then we'll try to attract the attention of the goblin troops and make the defenses in the rear weak," Gumas said, patting his chest.

The rest of the fish-people nodded in agreement.

The Goblin Leader Assassination Force, consisting of Livada, Rak, and the Black-Striped Fishmen, was formed, which is why this confrontation scene took place at this moment.

Cabrindo swung the hammer in his hand and quickly rushed towards the three fishmen. In the face of Cabrindo, whose physical fitness is far superior to his own, Livada still did not hesitate to raise his sword to meet the enemy.

The Warhammer's top-down attack was blocked by the dagger with a dull crashing sound, and the strength of Kabrindo was quite amazing, and Livada, who specialized in skill rather than strength, could not withstand this heavy blow in the first place, but the reason why he was able to parry it at this moment was because of the magic of "primary attack blocking" that the black stripe had already applied on it before. This magic can withstand a certain amount of attack damage, and if you convert the total amount of damage blocked to the attacks of ordinary human swordsmen, it will be able to resist about ten slashes. However, just by taking a blow from Cabrindo, the dark red magical light on Livada's body completely dissipated, which shows how amazing the power of this blow is.

Although Livada barely suffered any damage thanks to the help of magic, the ground beneath his feet still crumbled into sand under the strong pressure. When they saw Cabrindo's unusually strong body, the three fishmen already had a premonition that it would be a strong enemy, but when they saw that Cabrindo defeated the magic protection of the black veins with just one blow, the three fishmen's hearts still suffered different degrees of blows, and the black veins and Rak were too surprised and had a second of sluggishness.

Of course, this second was completely grasped by the brave and skilled Cabrindo, who quickly unleashed a strong kick to kick Livada into the air, and randomly targeted the black tattoo, after all, it would be difficult to kill any of the opponents without first dealing with the magician who could cast auxiliary magic.

However, in the next second, Cabrindo's action was not a forward dash, but a backward dodge.

"Luck, Blackvein, lift my spirits!" Livada, who was supposed to be kicked out of the air for several meters, blocked between Cabrindo and Black Stripe, and intercepted Cabrindo's dash with two extremely fast sword lights.

"Yes!" Blackvein nodded heavily, and re-cast his spell on Livada.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Livada," Lark also took a deep breath and took an offensive stance.

Cabrindo frowned when he looked at Livada, who should not have appeared in front of him, and was hit in the chest by his own kicking technique, even if he didn't die, he should be seriously injured, but the fishman in front of him was unharmed, and he couldn't find even a trace of bruises, and then thinking back to the strong kick just now, the touch from his feet really didn't look like a kick in the body, it was more like a kick in the water, and the soles of his feet were indeed stained with water at the moment. It is impossible to chant magic to defend in such a short time, so it must have used some kind of martial art. Since he couldn't figure it out, he would like to see it clearly in the next battle, and Cabrindo, who was thinking about it like this, launched an attack on Livada again.

Having learned the power of Kabrindo's hammer, Livada did not choose a hard-fought confrontation this time, but skillfully defused his opponent's attack with his swordsmanship. Rak stared at the fast-moving two, threw his short harpoon at the right time, and it was quite difficult to throw an attack at the opposing side of the two who were constantly fighting and changing positions quickly, but Lack was able to lock on to his opponent accurately every time, and his attack did cause considerable trouble for Kabrindo, preventing him from concentrating on the attack. The black stripe on the side also carefully calculated the consumption and recovery of his mana, and took turns to release the three magic spells of "primary attack blocking", "weapon enhancement", and "primary physical recovery" to ensure that Livada could always maintain the best condition in close combat.

Under the tacit cooperation of the three fishmen, Cabrindo, who originally had an absolute advantage, was slowly being suppressed, and Livada's sword strikes continued to add wounds to its body, although it was not a serious injury, but the pain and bleeding still reduced Cabrindo's speed and strength to a certain extent. Although the attacks used by Kabrindo were powerful, they were all defused by Livada one by one, and occasionally the attacks that hit the opponent were also canceled out by magic. Coupled with Rak's pin-and-shoot precision and the magic arrows that Black Streaks sent out from time to time, Cabrindo began to retreat constantly.

Livada attacked with all his might as he kept an eye out for the movements of the four goblin guards behind him. It is quite clear that the reason why it can achieve suppression now is entirely due to the light enemy of the opponent, and once the four Goblin Guards in the rear join the battle, then the chance of victory for its own side will be zero, so it must take advantage of the fact that it must defeat the opponent quickly.

Another blow from Kabrindo shattered Livada's magical protections, and seeing the flaw in the attack, Lark quickly threw his short harpoon. Due to the continuous depletion of energy, Cabrindo's speed slowed down significantly compared to before, and his left leg, which could not be retracted immediately, was hit by a short harpoon, which caused him to lose his balance for a moment.

Now is the time!

Judging that this was a good chance to win, Livada did not wait for the Black Stripe to apply magic assistance to him again, and jumped to his feet and stabbed the short sword into Cabrindo's throat, and at the same time, Cabrindo, who was feeling bad, also threw his fist.

Both sides are in an undefensible state, so it depends on whose attack can hit the opponent faster.

A smile appeared in Kabrindo's eyes, and although Livada's short sword was also quite fast, it seemed that its fists were faster. However, just as its fist was about to hit its opponent, a water balloon appeared in front of Livada. The fist was surrounded by soft water, and the force of breaking through the air was also absorbed by the water ball, and the final blow that landed on Livada was simply minimal, which was the same touch as the previous kick, so it was, this is the trump card that the opponent retained!

Finally coming to his senses, Kabrindo's eyes widened, and the four goblin guards behind him were rushing at full speed, but they must have been too late, because the fish-man's sharp twin swords had already touched his throat.

Pain, a sharp pain came from his neck, and Cabrindo could barely breathe.

The water balloon that appears in front of Livada is the product of his natural ability, "Liquid Manipulation". It's a bit like magic, but it's not magic, and Livada was born with a talent for manipulating liquids, though that talent was initially limited to a single drop of water. After continuous reinforcement and training, Livada is now able to manipulate about 1 liter of water, and the water balloon that was used to absorb damage just now is its original martial art "Water Prison"!

Finally won!

Livada landed lightly, and the crazy joy made its body tremble. Directly in front of it, about ten paces away, the four goblin guards stopped running, standing in place, unable to tell if the expressions on their faces were surprised or frightened, or both.

Then the sound of something falling to the ground.

It must have been Cabrindo's head, Livada's mind had thought, but it couldn't confirm it because it was facing away.

However, there was a crisp sound twice, not the sound of a head falling to the ground, but more like the sound of two pieces of metal falling to the ground one after the other.

Then Livada's ears rang with the cries of Black Streak and Rak, but before he could hear the strong pressure from his back, he fell to the ground, his hearing was occupied by the sudden ringing in his ears, and his eyes were suddenly dark, and the bones and internal organs of his body were in sharp pain as if they had been shattered.

As in eternal time, Livada remained in a hazy state, of course it was only its own feeling, and in fact only about 5 seconds had passed.

Hearing was restored again, and the sound that came to its ears plunged its heart into darkness, unwilling to admit it but not wrong, it was Cabrindo's laughter.
