Chapter 42: Confrontation
The moment he gave the order, several guards who had been preparing began to turn the gears that connected the city gates.
As soon as the gate moved, the goblins outside smelled the smell of flesh inside that was enough to drive them crazy.
There were thousands of living people inside.
All of a sudden, hundreds of goblins who were still trying to climb the city wall rushed towards the city gate.
"Bang!"
Before the wooden gate could be fully opened, it slammed open under the impact of dozens of goblins.
Smelling the scent of humans at hand, those goblins' mouths were frantically secreting saliva.
But just as their eyes were red and they rushed straight in, they crashed directly into a battle formation of shields and spears.
Even though the goblins have the flesh defense of hundreds of rats huddled together, they are nothing in front of the sharp spears.
Combined with the terrifying speed and explosiveness of their impact, these goblins didn't even have a chance to slow down, and they crashed into the death trap made up of dozens of spears.
With the screams of rats, the dozen or so goblins in the lead suddenly had many blood holes on their bodies.
The guards holding the spears were violently impacted, and the tiger's mouth in their hands suddenly cracked, and a trace of blood seeped out.
Even if the goblins in front were dead in the blink of an eye, there were many more goblins rushing from behind.
They are not sane, and they do not flinch because of the death of their companions, but become more crazy because of it.
A dozen more goblins lunged at the guards.
With the sound of flesh being pierced, the dozen or so goblins also fell.
But at the same time, the guards with their spears could no longer hold their grips.
Their tiger jaws were cracked, and even worse, their arms were directly dislocated and fractured under the great force of the goblins, and they couldn't help but let out screams.
"Retreat!"
With the commander's shout, the guards who were the first to rise up raised their shields and slowly retreated.
The goblins rushed toward the retreating infantry formation, but were either impaled by spears or slammed into their shields with a clang.
When the guards withdrew to a certain distance, only an angry roar from the commander was heard.
"Kill!"
As soon as these words were uttered, there was a shout from both sides of the city gate.
The populace held their spears aloft and charged towards the goblins who rushed in.
"Roar!"
The body was pierced, and the goblins couldn't help but let out a roar of pain.
Without intelligence, they were unknowingly caught between three sides, even if they had inhuman strength and speed, but under this kind of lineup, it would be useless.
Most of the people had done farm work, and the strength at hand was not much less than that of ordinary guards, and as long as they gritted their teeth, they could stab a bloody hole in the goblin's body.
Blood splattered on people's faces, bodies, but they didn't care in the slightest.
The depression of many days, the anger of leaving home, are vented at this moment.
They've already killed the red eye!
"Ahh
The man at the front held his shield aloft, blocking the Goblin Shock formation.
Even though their arms had become almost numb and even fractured under the impact again and again, they still gritted their teeth and held on desperately.
They knew that if anything happened to them with shields, the people behind them would be vulnerable to the monster's charge.
In just a few tens of seconds, the first goblins that rushed in had turned into corpses.
Their bodies were full of blood holes, lying on the ground, and the black blood kept spilling out.
At first glance, there were forty or fifty corpses.
When they arrived at the city wall, there were only about 300 monsters left.
By the time the gates opened, only about 200 were still alive.
Half of the monsters were destroyed.
Even if the results of the first wave were so gratifying, the expressions on the faces of the commanders on the side and Baron Angelo, who was evacuating from the high platform, were not very good.
The commander could see that under the first wave of monster charges, many guards and militiamen had already lost their combat effectiveness.
The terrifying strength and speed of the monster cannot be easily compensated for by the precise lineup and coordination, as well as the weapons at hand.
"The people in the back are on top!"
The commander roared.
One second those goblins fell, and the next, more goblins had poured in from the city gates.
This battle is destined to be bloody!
......
The battle on the walls was not much more optimistic than at the gates.
Eren and Mia were still fighting, but their breathing had become rapid and heavy.
With an axe, Eren slashed a goblin that wanted to crawl through the gap, and the blade of the axe, which was already full of cracks, added a crack that looked like it could collapse at any moment.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Eren turned his head and glanced at Mia.
The red light representing the feather of the falaca beneath her feet was gone.
"Do you have any extra Hayabusa feathers?"
He yelled.
Mia shook her head, the blade of the silver axe in her hand also had many cracks, but it looked much better than Alan's.
Mia, who lost her Falcon Feather, could no longer take care of the entire wall.
In just a moment, goblins climbed up from other corners of the wall.
After the guards had finished using the giant crossbows and boulders, they were already exhausted, let alone fighting, and they couldn't even lift their swords.
Such a fragile guard, in front of the murderous goblins, did not even have a chance to resist, and was torn to pieces by the thunderous claws.
The defense line on the city wall had already been broken the moment Mia's Falcon Feather was destroyed.
While Eren slashed into the side of a goblin with an axe, bringing out large pieces of mouse corpses and black blood, the giant axe was overwhelmed and disappeared into the air.
"......"
Alan cursed, kicked the incapacitated goblin, kicked it off the wall, and then took out the sacrificial bag.
Iron Axe Fragments are enhanced versions of Axe Fragments that are to be used against slimes and cannot be wasted on miscellaneous soldiers like Goblins......
The mask that can be used for transformation looks like there is only one chance to use it, and it can't be wasted......
Then it's just old Jerry's nose.
Alan pulled out Jerry's nose and dodged a goblin's blow.
He pressed the big red nose to his nose, activated it with his magic power, and his mind moved.
Rats emerge from the ground out of thin air and pounce on the goblin.
The goblin who hadn't reacted yet felt that there were thousands of ants gnawing on him.
In a few seconds, the dwarf-like goblin turned into a blur of flesh and blood under the gnawing of the dozens of rats.
Directing the group of rats to lunge towards the other goblins, Eren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at the others.
There were very few guards left on the city walls, and the few who remained had lost their fighting spirit under the death of their companions, and ran towards Mia, who was closest to them, as if to seek refuge.
Mia may seem delicate, but she can easily use the huge silver axe, and with any slash or split, a goblin will fall to the ground with a wail.
One of the goblins saw that Mia was attacking the other goblins, seized the opportunity, raised its claws, and lunged at her back.
But Mia seemed to have eyes on her back, and she rolled and easily dodged the blow.
It was this tumbling that made the hood she had been wearing on her head fall.
Looking at that face, Alan was stunned.
But that's it......
"Be careful!"
