Chapter 54: Fierce Battle Outside the City
"Kill!"
Hordes of mercenaries swarmed out of the open gates to meet the goblin army.
After a while, the forwards of the two teams collided.
On the city wall, in order to smooth the battle, regardless of the cost, a large magic guide lamp was turned on. Although the bottom of the unobstructible is like daylight, at least it is enough as a battlefield. After all, if the mercenaries were really allowed to fight in the dark with goblins who could see at night, I am afraid that there would be casualties as soon as they approached.
The front row of goblins are all mad goblins with Berserk spell cast. So as soon as it began, the battle was at a fever pitch.
The crazy goblins, with red lights in their eyes, brandished their sticks or axes, and despite the fatal blows they had received from the mercenaries, they ignored them completely, and swung their weapons directly at the nearest mercenary. In the next moment, although the goblin was killed by the dense attack, it also cut a huge wound in the stomach of the mercenary who could not react before he died.
In normal times, there are countless ways to save this person. But alas, this is on the battlefield. The fight doesn't stop for a moment.
Eventually, the mercenary was severely injured and slowed down shortly after being blown off in the head by a black goblin hammer that came later. This is the unforgiving battlefield.
In the light of the magic lights, spears were thrown out by the throwing goblins. A light flashed from his hands, and balls of basketball-sized ice and fire magic condensed from the hands of the Ice Goblins and Flame Goblins. All of this has led to a lot of casualties among the mercenaries who have been held back by the Mad Goblins.
"The front row is scattered, and each class attacks in batches, don't mess up!" As commander, Stewart was keenly aware of a serious problem. That is, these mercenaries are completely uncooperative.
Because she was in the middle of the battle, even though she didn't have that much experience in combat command, she also discovered this huge problem at this time. Because most of the mercenaries here have completed large mercenary missions of twenty people at most in the past, and they have never experienced a large-scale battle with hundreds of people like this. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be various coordination mistakes in battle.
In the short battle, Nia found that this problem was a frequent occurrence in the battle. Archers' arrows often hit one place because they were not planned in advance. The magic of magicians is often wasted because of such problems.
Also, when the melee class is about to be fatally attacked, it is often impossible for the mages in the back row to put on a magic shield for this reason. After all, if one's own mercenary teammates may be attacked and others may be killed at the same time, the long-term cooperation of the mercenary squad will cause people to subconsciously put magic shields on their teammates.
Even those mercenaries who have a clear understanding of the situation on the scene will hesitate, after all, this is the tacit understanding that they have formed after a long battle. But it was such a tacit understanding that helped in the battle. Because some of the people in front of them who were threatened with death died for this reason, after all, not every mercenary team has a mage to join.
The fighting was far more fierce than the military had anticipated. If it was only a few dozen goblins, the army might not be able to compare with some mercenary groups that cooperated tacitly, but in such a large battlefield with more than a thousand goblins, a trained army would definitely be able to crush these mercenaries. It was precisely because of this mistake that the goblins, who were estimated to be completely unthreatening according to the number of people, had the upper hand instead.
"Don't mess around, archers and magicians shoot in groups of twenty. The melee mercenaries in the front row should be cooperative, and try to help if they see someone around them in danger. Shouting out loud with PA, Stewart wanted to try to salvage the situation.
However, in the fierce battle, only some people in the rear heard his shouts smoothly, and as for the mercenaries who were desperately fighting with the goblins in the front of the big front, they were killing Red Eye. I don't have time to listen to what is being said in the back.
Even if the people in the rear reluctantly organized a long-range team, they were scattered and unable to cooperate tacitly, but in general, it was still a little neater than before.
Soon, the melee mercenaries suffered heavy casualties under the frenzied attacks of the goblins, and the defensive formation in front of them slowly became tired. At this point, people haven't broken through the attacks of those crazy goblins.
And compared with the front that is gradually collapsing in front, what is more serious is the people's hearts that are gradually beginning to collapse.
The people in the rear knew that if the melee lines in front were torn apart, their ranged professionals would be completely exposed to the goblin army, and it would be like fish on a chopping block.
Although she is anxious about the current situation, the decline of the team in front of her is not something that Nia can suppress at all.
"No, keep staying here like this, and when the people in front can't stop the goblins, the people behind will definitely collapse." With a clear mind, Nia took the spear out of her backpack. Then he opened the magic shield and slammed on the ground, and Nia rushed forward. Leaving a magician beside Nia stunned just now, how did the little mage girl who was still beside her just now suddenly become a spearman?
Running to the front line at full speed and without saying much, Nia immediately joined the battle. The spear reaches out, and the skill [Round Dancing Stick] is activated, grabbing a mad goblin that is about to slash at a person. With a force on his waist, he swept his spear sideways, killing all the goblins that approached.
A charged [Falling Flower Palm] was struck, and the strong palm wind knocked several goblins in front of Nia into the air, and also smashed the goblins behind them apart.
——————
smashed open a goblin behind a mercenary, and the wind came from behind him. At this time, Nia was just gone, and the new force was not born. Just as Nia was about to release the scarecrow to dodge the attack, a punch sent the goblins behind her flying. Looking back, it was the martial artist Caroline.
"Nia, why did you get to the front?" She knew that Nia knew magic, but why would the other party give up the safety of the rear and run to the front instead.
"The front is tight, and my melee is not weak, so I came to the front. You know, you can't bear it in the front, and no matter how many magicians you have in the back, you can't do anything. The spear stabbed out, impaling a lunging goblin, Nia replied.
However, she noticed that a goblin was slashing at Caroline's head.
But without worrying about Nia, the ghost swordsman Baron slashed the goblin's body with a single sword.
"Don't talk during the battle, wait until after the battle." Grumbling, Baron said.
"Be careful." By the way, Nia and the others began to continue their fight against the seemingly endless goblins.
As the battle continued, many people also saw Nia, who was unusually conspicuous in the goblins.
In such a scene like Shura's hell, a girl who is only about twelve years old is living and dying together. Under the light shining from the city wall, the resoluteness and uselessness of the girl in front of her were reflected.
Children like her are at the age when they are growing up safely under the care of their families, and at this time, they are facing the scythe of death with them in front of them. Then what kind of face do you have to run away alone?
Although Nia's addition brought some improvement to the front, it still couldn't stop the team from collapsing.
