There are seven people in a group, and it is precisely the earth mage who is good at defense who suffers, which has nothing to do with the strength of any attribute, it is purely a test of people's ability to react.

Ivan activated the rock shield on his staff, and several warriors were agile, either blocking or dodging, avoiding all attacks. Like Ivan, the water mage activated the defensive spell on the staff and escaped.

The earth mage is not very old, about thirty years old, and it seems that he has not been a caravan guard for a long time. As a defensive earth mage, he has neither a staff of defensive additional spells, nor has he cast magic in time.

A sharp wooden spear pierced the back of the earth mage, the tip of the spear piercing through the weight, a severe penetrating wound! The only good news was that the wooden spear pierced through the right chest, so he was still alive.

"Goblins, it's goblins!Didn't these greenskins just be swept away by the High Mage of Gattuso City?, why did they come out and make trouble again in such a short time?" the old man was obviously very surprised by the appearance of the goblins.

Ivan turned to look, only to see a group of green humanoid monsters approaching them quickly with a mess of weapons such as wooden spears, short clubs, iron swords, and long knives. Some tall goblins wore plate armor, some wore chain mail, some medium-sized wore leather armor, more thin wore leather apron cloth clothes, and some were simply naked and ugly.

The first time he saw a goblin, Ivan felt like a ragtag army. The term ragtag is not a derogatory term, as goblins work together in teams and are superior to mercenary guards.

"Uncle, is it difficult to deal with such things as goblins?" asked Ivan curiously.

The old man smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I'd rather face a group of low-level demonic beasts than a group of goblins. Goblins are more physically fit than humans, they are fierce and treacherous, and they know how to fight in teams, if it weren't for a variety of negative natures that make them unorderly, otherwise humans would have one more great enemy!"

The old man's opinion of the goblins is not high, but Ivan will not be alarmed by this. Although they are strong in some aspects, their weaknesses can greatly reduce their level, and goblins are only low-level things after all.

"Uncle, the goblins seem to be faster than us, and we definitely can't run away, so what should we do?" Ivan was first in contact with goblins, so he wanted to hear about the old man's experience.

"Hey, there is no way to reverse the disadvantage of being outnumbered, I didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a big accident this time. Little brother, this time it's the old man I'm sorry for you, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise, this time we estimate that we will be wiped out. "The old man is obviously very pessimistic about the situation.

"Goblins can't spell, and their skin doesn't have much defense, so it's far from being comparable to Warcraft. By the way, goblins are afraid of fire, and they also hate sunlight. The middle-aged man who was at first arguing with the old man was the fastest, and quickly gave a brief account of the goblin situation.

"Afraid of fire, this is easy to do!" Ivan looked at the rapidly approaching goblins, and began to quickly cast a scorching spell, setting up fire barriers behind them.

The goblins were very fast, and they were about to reach the range of the battle, but they were stopped by the flames. Their green faces showed a look of fear and disgust, and finally chose to take a long detour to continue the pursuit.

"Effective! Little brother, you are actually a fire magician, what an impressive thing it is! The old man unabashedly said his intention to abandon the earth mage just now.

Reality is often extremely cruel, and burdensomeness will naturally be abandoned. Not abandoning, not giving up is just an expectation after all, in fact, doing so will only cost your life in vain. The protagonists who are really made up as legendary stories are often the pride of the sky, and later become the existence of real legends!

"Don't stop! Goblins move fast, little brother Edlan, how long can you cast such a spell?" the old man asked eagerly.

"I can last most of the distance, after all, there are so many goblins, I have to interfere with their movements at a high frequency!" Ivan replied.

"We carry magic flares, and when we get out of this dense woods, I'll activate them. The bad thing is that I don't know how long it will take to wait for support, you try to conserve your mana, don't get distracted, and we'll take care to help you intercept the flying objects. ”

"Got it!"

Although several people ran as hard as they could, the speed was still a lot worse than that of the goblins, but fortunately, Ivan kept casting spells as long as there were obstacles. This is a large group of goblins, the total number of goblins is more than a hundred, if the caravan cannot be prepared in advance, it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out.

Seeing that the goblin team was close at hand, Ivan couldn't care about retaining his strength. He performed a short chant, and a wind light technique blessed the old man, who was obviously half as fast as he was. The total amount of amplification that can be increased by this type of amplification spell is fixed, and the effect can vary greatly from person to person, and there is a cap on the amplification.

"Good fellow, you're also good at wind spells, so you'll finally be able to hold on a little longer. The old man exclaimed.

"Feel free to practice, just value the function of this first-order spell. Ivan didn't want to say more, he quickly put speed blessings on everyone, and the overall speed of the team suddenly increased by a level.

Time passed slowly in a chase and escape, and Ivan felt that time was passing so slowly! The continuous casting of spells was a great burden on him, although he had already stepped into the threshold of the fourth order, but he had only just stayed somewhere. It's been two months since Ivan has completed his promotion, and his magic level hasn't improved at all!

"Bang!" sounded, and the old man released a magic flare, and the bright red color hung in the sky, which was very eye-catching.

"We've done what we have to do, and we'll leave the rest to fate. "The old man is pessimistic about the situation, the caravan has always been concerned about its own safety, and it is hopeless to expect the caravan to send people to support.

A few people hurried through the jungle, and the complex terrain was very unfriendly to humans, because the human body was not adapted to such a road.

"Come on! I see a gap in the trees ahead, and we're on the road soon!" shouted one of the fighters excitedly. He is the Ranger of the team, responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance, as well as setting up dangers while sleeping.

"Guys, my magic is running out!" Although he didn't want to hit everyone, Ivan had to add a bad news to the good news. They were able to escape here thanks to the interference of Ivan's fire magic with the goblins.

"Hold on, everyone, we are not far from the big army. The old man encouraged everyone.

"Oh no! those elite goblins are starting to go berserk, we're going to be caught up!"

Perhaps the chase was too long, and it was already beyond the goblin's expectations, and the strong goblins threw off their armor and began to chase at full speed, leaving those ordinary goblins far behind.

"Prepare for battle!" shouted the old man, drawing his long knife. Although it is not far from the main army, it is close to the end of the world, the distance between life and death.

"Whoosh!" a thick cracking sound rang out, and a tall goblin threw the weapon it had snatched from its kind.

"Drink!" the old man shouted, slashing the flying spear with all his might, "Don't be afraid! They took off their armor, although they were much faster, but at the same time they also lost their protection, and the goblin's own defense was very average!"

That being said, it's just that the competition between the two sides is not at the same level, and the number and strength are much different. Ivan noticed that the old man's right hand was trembling, and it was obvious that the blow just now was still very reluctant for him.

"Wind Blade!"

Since the battle is engaged, Ivan no longer keeps his hands, and the goblins chase directly in a straight line in order to catch up as soon as possible, so the distance between them is very close, which is very suitable for using the Wind Blade Technique.

"Mizusawa!" The water mages on the team also took action, Mizusawa is the simplest form of swamp magic, which can only make the dirt ground muddy and slippery.

Facing the oncoming wind blade, several goblins in front of him waved their weapons to block. Spells are tangible and qualitative, and they can be resisted to a certain extent with weapons.

Elite Goblins are relatively large in size and strength, but being strong means that they can move a lot. The dirt ground gave Mizusawa a good place to perform it, and several goblins used too much force, but they were not strong under their feet, so a few of them fell down one after another for a while.

"Good opportunity!" the middle-aged swordsman's eyes lit up, he shouted, raised his long sword and rushed over.

"Don't fight, take advantage of the opportunity to escape!" shouted the old man hysterically, and he said that the battle was only because he could not escape, and it was better to die in battle than to be killed in the run. Now that the two of them have worked wonders, it's time to take the opportunity to escape.

It's just that his prompt was too late, the swordsman had already rushed out, and he was obviously a little stunned when he heard the voice behind him, so that the blow that would have been killed was off the way. A single blow severely wounded a goblin, and the swordsman looked up to see that the goblins behind him were already catching up. Not only that, but the goblins are agile, and the fallen goblins quickly get up and fight the swordsman from the left and right.

"Run!" the old man shouted heavily, and the others were a little hesitant, after all, it was not so easy to abandon long-term companions. The others hesitated, but Ivan didn't hesitate, he turned around and ran.

The thing of dying in vain was not done by normal people, not to mention that Ivan had nothing to do with these people. The most non-existent thing in the work of licking blood with a knife head is the will of life and death, because some of them have long since died.

"Ahh

"Brush!" a fierce knife slashed at the old man, "I'm sorry old man." The old man whispered in the ear of the earth mage, placed his companion on the ground, and drew his weapon.

"Flame Slash!" saw him spin in a circle and a half, and the sharp blow of the long knife split the slashing broadsword, and then the long knife quickly turned and slashed down the goblin's broadsword. The goblin obviously didn't expect the knife to be so useful, and he couldn't get rid of the long knife that was glowing with flames for a while. Seeing that the flaming knife was about to slash at its arm, the goblin had no choice but to throw away his weapon, thus avoiding the end of the arm being chopped off.

The old man briefly gained the upper hand, but another goblin attacked next to him, and the old man was forced to take a few steps back. After all, he was invincible with two fists and four hands, and when he retreated, the earth mage on the ground was trampled on the neck by the goblin, and he couldn't die anymore.

Seeing that his companion was dead, the old man no longer hesitated to turn around and leave, and spent a lot of energy, and the person was not saved after all.

The large army finally saw it, and seeing that it was about to turn the corner, the pace of several people couldn't help but be a little faster, and the joy on their faces overflowed.

"It's the team that went out to clean up the slime, and it seems that they sent a magic signal before, what's wrong with them?"

"Goblins! It's a horde of goblins!Hurry up and be on guard!" Apparently the previous signal hadn't been taken too seriously, and the multiple safe trips had made them let their guard down. Fortunately, the team was also a little vigilant, and soon formed a defensive formation.

The goblin army soon arrived, and the caravan guards first performed a round of spell bows and arrows, and many goblins died. It's just that due to the large number of goblins, the defense line was finally breached, and then there was a ransack.

Goblins don't just fight after all, and their greed in their bones keeps them from waiting for the battle to end. Goblins are extremely strong when they don't see wealth, but when they do, they turn red quickly, and nothing but death can stop them from looting it!

This is the goblin's biggest weakness, once attracted by wealth, the goblin's combat power quickly collapses. Some goblins will flee quickly when they grab wealth, but many more will be killed as they flee.

With the goblins dispersing, the matter finally came to an end. The battle was won, but no one was happy. First, the caravan suffered heavy losses, then some people were killed and many more were wounded, and finally the goblins were defeated with nothing but a few weapons. Goblins are such a disgusting thing that you win or lose, and you take a loss with nothing to gain.

"It's really good that you're okay, uncle!"

At the end of the battle, Ivan saw the old man again, and he was covered with color, but not multiple injuries.

"Hey! Goblins were attracted by their possessions and got their lives by luck. It's just that my old fellows have suffered, and now it's just me, the Ranger, and the Water Mage. Half of our squad is dead here, and if it weren't for you, we'd be wiped out. ”

"Life is fragile, so we must cherish life, and today I will have a good chat with my uncle. Ivan comforted.

"No need, it's already underestimated! Ahead is the border city of the Afterglow Kingdom, we will return there, and you will also embark on your journey, have a good experience. The old man patted Ivan on the shoulder, and a deep wave of envy and helplessness flashed seriously.

"I will. ”
