Chapter 64: Beheading
After setting the battle plan, Leo arranged combat missions for his subordinates one by one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEveryone evacuated the village as fast as they could, and lurked in the southern hills a few miles from the village, waiting for the Goblin army to enter the village.
The Cossack cavalry, after a short break to recuperate, used their charge to open the way for the Viking and Spartan warriors to enter the Goblin tribes, and if the decapitation was successful, they were also responsible for driving the goblins away and preventing them from fleeing to the south-west of the Kulen Barony.
The main forces in charge of the decapitation operation were Viking and Spartan warriors.
The mission of the Viking pirates was to hold back the reinforcements of the goblins on the outskirts of the village, buying time for the Spartan warriors to enter the village and kill the goblin king.
In response to the huge number of goblin tribes this time, Leo specially asked the Viking pirates to replace the tomahawk and hammer in their hands with a huge log trunk, and the thick trunk that one person could barely hold in his arms danced easily like a small sapling in the hands of the strong and powerful Viking.
As for the elite Spartan warriors, they need to storm the village under the cover of the Viking pirates, find the Goblin King and kill him, and try to demoralize the Goblins.
Dozens of miles away, the huge goblin tribe marched for a day and a night to reach the village of Haruna. The slender size of the goblin gives it the advantage of agility, but the lack of stamina is also an unavoidable weakness. This weakness prevents the goblin from withstanding long and high-intensity marches, and can only stop and go, constantly resting and recovering before continuing on the road.
After some inquiry, the goblins determined that the village of Haruna was empty. The goblin tribe in charge of the front station rushed into the village in an excited swarm, rummaging through each house one by one, looking for anything to eat and use.
Some ordinary goblins found the food and clothes in the house that the villagers didn't have time to take away, and when they walked out of the house with big bags and small bags on their faces, they were found by the little goblin boss who rushed to hear the news. Ignoring the screams and sorrows of the goblins, the little goblin leader forcibly took their spoils and presented them to the Goblin King.
Even the most ordinary and inferior daily necessities of human beings are a rare luxury for goblins who have no productivity and can only make a living from plundering. When the Goblin King saw the loot that had been presented, his eyes turned green, and he hurried into the village of Haruna to enjoy the high bed and thick quilt of the stone house.
Many of the goblin leaders and cavalrymen in high positions in the goblin tribe also vied for the right to occupy the other buildings in the village. As for those ordinary goblins, they were naturally not qualified to enter the village where the king was, and could only continue to build shacks on the outskirts of the village.
Although the vast goblin tribes are ruled by the Goblin King, and are managed by many goblin leaders and cavalry guarding them, the chaotic nature of the goblins makes it impossible for them to manage in an orderly manner, let alone discipline.
When marching, the goblins were still able to follow their companions in front of them one by one, and although there was a lot of noise and fighting, at least they were able to keep moving, and once the goblin tribe was in a state of rest, the chaotic scene was a headache.
There are a few male goblins who fight for a female, there are those who suddenly grab other people's things and run away, there are those who defecate in the open, and there are even those who look at each other and can't wait to fight in the field. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of goblins come together and are more noisy than the same number of ducks.
In the early morning, when it was just getting dark, most of the goblins were still asleep, and even the goblins on duty on the periphery dozed off their heads like kowtow bugs, Leo and his summoned legions quietly attacked.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the heavy footsteps of the Vikings as they landed, woke the goblin tribe from their slumber, and many of the goblins rubbed their eyes and thought they were dreaming, and turned around to go back to sleep.
It wasn't until the shrill and piercing cries of the outer goblins on duty pierced the night sky one after another that the goblins realized that an enemy who dared to challenge the huge goblin tribe was approaching.
"Get ready for battle, the Cossack cavalry rushes in to open the way, and everyone else follows!" Leo saw that the goblin reacted and hurriedly gave the battle order.
The Cossack cavalry kicked their horses in the belly, driving them to speed up their pace, and the Viking pirates stood up one by one, dragging the trunks of logs and trees, and strode forward with the Cossack cavalry.
The Spartan warriors led by Dominic untied the round shield hanging behind their backs and held it in their left hand, and followed the charge without saying a word. Feng Xifan and the Roman infantry escorted Leo behind, Leo's left hand held the Arena of the Gods in front of his chest, ready to summon reinforcements at any time according to the situation on the battlefield.
When a group of goblins saw an enemy approaching and rushed out of the group, they saw the cavalry in formation and a few giants behind them rushing towards them, and they quickly turned and ran until they fled back to the middle of the large group of goblins.
The goblins on the periphery faced the cavalry and giants, like little girls blocked in the alleys by strong men in the middle of the night, and their sharp cries resounded one after another through the wasteland, but they were unable to organize a decent defense.
The Cossack cavalry, having picked up the speed of their horses, rushed into the ranks of the Goblin tribes without hindrance, and went straight in the direction of the village like a great wave.
With a hideous face, the Viking virates let out a hearty laugh as they swept away the goblins around them with a giant log. Everywhere they passed, there was a vast blank space like a ploughed field. Leo and the others seemed to be strolling leisurely, and they only needed to walk in along the passage that had been cleared by the Vikings, and the battle was so easy that Leo thought that he would reach the Goblin King's location directly.
After being broken through by the Cossack cavalry and swept by the Viking Giant Tree, the Goblin tribe reacted from the initial chaos. An unlucky leader who did not grab the village house appeared on the path of the Cossack cavalry with a group of monitor lizard cavalry.
The Wasteland Monitor Lizard is a species of lizard unique to the Badlands Wastelands, with a stout body, a temperament, and strong stamina, making them the perfect companion for goblin companions. However, one of the weaknesses of monitor lizards is that they crawl and crawl like other lizards, and their stature is too low, and even if the goblins ride on them, they are much shorter than human war horses.
This weakness is nothing in a non-horse-producing wasteland, but it is embarrassing when hedged against human cavalry. Under the control of the cavalry, the horses ignored the monitor lizards that stood in their way, and trampled directly on them. The hooves of the horses wrapped in the shoes were stepped on at high speed, and it hurt to think about it, not to mention the monitor lizards that were trampled by hundreds of war horses in turn, and the goblin cavalry on their backs were naturally solved by the Cossack cavalry.
A dozen monitor lizard cavalrymen disappeared into the path of the Cossack cavalry charge without even a single wave. Horrified, the little goblin leader screamed and blended into the goblin group, never daring to show his face again.
The decapitation operation went surprisingly well, and with the Cossack cavalry and Viking navigating the way, there were few major obstacles to the entrance of the village.
As the king of a giant goblin tribe, it is natural that it is guarded by elites. When the Cossack cavalry came outside the village of the Goblin King, a group of Goblins, who were almost as tall as adult humans, lined up from the village.
These goblins are all strong, and the weapons in their hands are much better than ordinary goblins, and some of them even wear armor that has been clearly plucked from humans, so they don't seem to be easy to mess with.
Company Commander Ivan, who had already completed his mission to lead the way, naturally would not let the cavalry under his command collide with them, and with the constant swinging gestures of Company Commander Ivan, the Cossack cavalry queue split into two, each turning to the left and right, revealing the Viking pirates behind them.
