Chapter 5: Victory

Vicente, who had been standing by Griffith's side, threw his shield desperately.

There was a loud explosion, and the red fireball flying in a straight line hit the steel shield and exploded less than ten meters away from Griffith, although he felt the heat wave of the fireball explosion, Griffith did not hurt a single hair, but a few goblins who rushed in front were unlucky.

"Bailey, Hansen, hold it back. Griffith knew that the goblin warlock on the other side was higher than his own, and he couldn't let it continue to cast spells easily. A spellcaster of level 3 or higher can easily destroy his own group.

But the key to breaking the game is not here.

"It's up to you, Captain Hyde. Griffith's giant transformation technique fell on Hyde, and the captain of the city guard, who was already a little unable to support it, instantly became huge, swinging a hammer and a shield to smash away the two bear goblins who were besieging him.

He did not chase after the victory, but strode towards the goblin sorcerer.

Forty or fifty meters away from Hyde, the goblin warlock was under concentrated fire from Bailey and Hansen at this time, although there was cover from the surrounding goblins, he was also a little scrambling for a while, and the third magic could not be used for a long time.

The remaining bear goblin, seeing Hyde slaughtering his leader with a fierce attitude, hurriedly waved his stick over to intercept it.

Hyde took a deep breath, his face flushed, and the speed of his whole person suddenly skyrocketed by thirty percent.

The thick mace grazed Hyde's helmet, but the hammer in his hand smashed into the bear goblin's head, splashing Hyde with red and white dirt.

Ignoring his face, Hyde held his breath and continued to rush forward, and there were only about twenty goblins left in front of him. Although it was a bit of a hassle, Hyde was confident that he would be able to kill the goblin warlock before the Giant Spell failed.

At this moment, a cloud of white light flew out of Griffith, the third and last magic he used today. As soon as the white light left his hand, Griffith felt a wave of fatigue rush to his head, which was a reaction to mental exhaustion.

The light cluster silently exploded in the densest position of the goblins, without any sound and light effect, but the effect was gratifying, and a large group of goblins fell to the ground one after another, leaving only a few scattered scattered on the spot with confused faces, completely confused about the situation.

Level 1 Magical Sleep, which is an area of effect magic that causes creatures within its radius to fall asleep. This spell tests the physique of the recipient. As long as it's strong enough, it won't even have any effect. Using this spell against human warriors is often ineffective, and it can only be thrown down two or three people who are not in good shape. However, for goblins, the first-level magic of sleep is a great killer, and who calls them weak physique.

Hyde, who thought it would take a lot of effort, naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and took the opportunity to rush forward, and the distance of fifty meters took less than 5 seconds. The war hammer with the sound of the whistling wind fell diagonally from the ground, and the goblin warlock didn't even have time to scream, and he was hammered several times in one breath, and his thin body was like a broken doll that had been ravaged, and he couldn't die anymore.

A true Dharma Master, in fact, has countless means of self-preservation in this situation. For example, the level 1 magic foot soles can quickly increase the running speed, the level 2 magic mirror shadow spell can change multiple illusion cover bodies, and of course, there is also the level 2 magic invisibility technique, which is extremely effective for sneak attacks and runs.

It's a pity that the goblin warlock is just a fake mage who has awakened the bloodline of the warlock, and does not understand the truth that knowledge is power. Its awakened spells are all plastic energy systems, and they are only worthy of being used as a personal meat turret, and they will be finished if they are close to them.

As soon as the goblin warlock died, the goblins who were still standing seemed to have fallen into a pause in their thinking, and after two or three seconds, the goblins came back to their senses and immediately fell into a great panic, and they scattered like headless flies.

In stark contrast to the goblins, all the humans were so demoralized that even the seriously injured struggled to raise their weapons. On the entire battlefield, only two bear goblins are still threatened. Griffith hesitated to use a magic scroll, after all, there were still a lot of goblins left, if they could muster up the courage, it would be impossible to turn the tables, but it would definitely cause great damage to Griffith and the others.

Hyde didn't have this kind of trouble, and while there was still one last bit of time for the giant magic, he resolutely turned back and wanted to deal with the last two bear goblins. To Griffith's delight, Anna got back on her feet.

It didn't take long for the two bears to take the lead.

Griffith breathed a sigh of relief and slipped the magic scroll he was holding back into the pocket of his mage robes.

The rest is just to clean up the battlefield.

Before the sky was completely dark, everyone chased them to the goblin lair in one goblin.

The goblin's base camp is a cave that is two or three meters high. Perhaps because of the lack of space inside, the goblins built dozens of shacks at the entrance of the cave with tree branches, rags, etc., which were even more dirty than the slums of India.

"Master Griffith, there are dozens of goblins in the cave. Hyde wiped his face casually and emphasized, "They have a bit of a bow and arrow. ”

This was not too difficult, whether it was Hyde or the other soldiers, the armor on their bodies was not bad, and it was not difficult to kill them with a shield.

But after the fierce battle just now, most of the soldiers of the city guard were wounded, and two of them were seriously wounded - Vicente had checked them and should not be in danger of life. Although the absence of dead people is a great blessing in misfortune, seeing the tragic situation of his subordinates, Hyde, as a responsible captain, inevitably becomes conservative.

"Let me do it. Griffith, who was applying medicine to Anna's wound, heard this and handed the ointment to Vicente. He went to the outside of the cave, took out a scroll and repeated the old technique, and threw a sleep spell into the depths of the cave.

Ten golden dragons were spent like this.

Griffith's approach was generous, and he immediately won the favor of Hyde and the other soldiers.

Of course, Griffith won't lose money. The results of this operation are amazing, the head of the goblin warlock alone is worth 100 gold dragons, plus the head of the bear goblin, the recovered equipment, and the looted property from the goblin lair, the value of the loot should not be less than 300 gold dragons. Griffith, as one of the commanders of the operation, is also a nobleman and a priest, and will inevitably share the largest part of it.

The goblins, who had long been frightened, were huddled together and guarded the narrow entrance of the cave, trying in vain to resist the human attack with bows and arrows. In this way, the effect of the sleep technique was naturally too good, and the white light flashed, and the goblin fell to the ground.

Hyde led the way, and the soldiers who were still able to move followed, and quickly cleared the remaining goblins from the cave.

"Master Griffith, come in, there's something terrible here!" Hyde exclaimed with excitement, causing Griffith to walk in briskly, unreserved.

The condition inside the cave was not much better than the shack outside, and as soon as he walked in, the sour smell hit his nose, and Griffith even saw something resembling a human limb in a cauldron that was so dirty that it was to death. Goblins are omnivorous creatures, and it is impossible to extort ransom, and those poor worms who are hijacked by goblins usually end up in the stomach of goblins.

Griffith held back his nausea and went into the deepest part of the cavern - it was a hand-dug cavern, small in size, but surprisingly neat, and completely different from the rest of the cave.

Then, Griffith was stunned.

What appeared in front of his eyes was an off-white egg the size of a watermelon with smooth scales on its surface.

"Is this a dragon egg?" Griffith was excited, and a little incredulous.

Dragons were arguably the most powerful creatures in Titania, but not all dragons were willing to raise their offspring seriously. Many irresponsible dragons lay eggs and are discarded in the wild, leaving them to fend for themselves. Some races, such as kobolds, are particularly keen to raise wild dragon cubs, which is almost like a slave trying to find a master for himself. Unexpectedly, goblins have such a hobby.

Griffith didn't think about it, picked up the dragon egg, carefully stroked it with the palm of his hand, and said to Hyde in a non-negotiable tone: "I want this egg, only this egg! ”

Hyde's face changed slightly, as if he wanted to object, but the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and finally he could only agree to this unfair distribution plan obediently. Even if he dares to make a big deal out of it, Griffith has Gerald, the Councilor of Thousand Sails, behind him, and the dragon egg will never fall into his hands.

It was getting dark, and the looted goblin lair, along with the shack outside, was burned to the ground.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, and judging by the belongings they had gathered, the goblins must have robbed quite a few caravans. With a floating fortune of more than 500 golden dragons, Griffith's behavior of forcibly seizing the dragon egg does not seem to be so excessive.

It was almost night, so it was impossible to rush at night. Hyde, who had long thought about this, forcibly requisitioned a lot of supplies when he was in Black Rock Village, including camping tents, as well as a lot of bread, beans, vegetables, sausages and other food, which were carried by three horses who also belonged to Black Rock Village.

The smell of the goblin lair was unbearable, and the camp was held in an open field not far from the creek.

Griffith, who had hastily finished his dinner, called Hansen to his fire.

"Hansen, I'm very happy with your performance today. Although younger than Hansen, Griffith, as a nobleman, did not need to be too polite. "I think it's a waste for you to stay in Black Rock Village. I'm going back to my father's domain next month to inherit a village, and I don't know if you're willing to pledge your allegiance to me, and I don't know if you're willing to pay my allegiance?"
