Volume 1 The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 114 The Great Pit
Russell was very happy to see Carter regain his uninhibited appearance in the past, because this was the Carter he was familiar with!
Russell looked at Carter, who was full of confidence, and was about to open his mouth to invite him back with him, when the sound of rapid drumming came from outside.
Russell has learned a lot about the barracks from Carlos these days, and the sound of this drum is the signal that the enemy is coming!
Didn't the alarm in the camp just be lifted? Why are there warnings again?
Russell and Carter stepped out of the tent to find out, but they happened to bump into the Carlos siblings.
Russell walked up to Carlos and asked, "Carlos, do you know what's going on?"
Carlos shook his head to show that he didn't know anything about it, but he still said his guess, "I don't know what's going on, maybe it's the Snow Barbarians who don't die, and now join forces with those monsters to attack the camp again, trying to defeat the Imperial Legion in one go!"
Russell looked at the soldiers who were running around and preparing to line up, and wondered: "The empire has been defeated before, resulting in the loss of nearly 100,000 troops, but excluding the people who transported the grain and the accompanying scholars, craftsmen, there are still about 200,000 soldiers in the legion, how can the snow barbarians have the courage to fight the empire in a decisive battle?"
Russell pondered the recent battles and realized that the Snowfield tribe had the roots of their fearlessness, and that behind them there was a powerful presence called the Abyss!
Russell learned from the soldiers' rumors that the enemy could also shoot a group of orbs full of flames, and with the memories of his past life and recent events, Russell was able to tell that the enemy's team also had mages who could perform magic.
Russell knew that these mages were the most terrifying existences, and he believed that the Empress of the Empire had also seen this fact in the previous battle, so the most important thing in this battle was to kill these mages who could use powerful magic!
Russell thought of this and shouted to his companions: "Hurry up and find a safe place to hide, I will now go to Her Majesty the Empress and inform her of a very important matter!"
With that, Russell ran towards the Empress's camp. After running a few steps, Russell felt the ground tremble slightly.
Could it be an earthquake? Russell didn't dare to move, nervously looking at the ground that was shaking as the earth and rocks flew around.
Suddenly, the mud and sand on the ground began to slowly dent, and after a few loud noises, there were deep pits on the ground one after another, and many soldiers who were assembling according to training fell into the big pit with one foot, so frightened that the soldiers behind quickly stopped their pace, and a group of people stood on the edge of the pit and did not dare to move.
After that, there was no movement in the pit, did the earthquake stop? The soldiers standing at the edge of the pit remembered their comrades who had fallen into the pit, and cautiously poked their heads into the pit to look into the pit in order to rescue their comrades who had unfortunately fallen into the pit.
But not long after the heads of the soldiers observing the pit poked their heads into the pit, they fell into it as if pulled by something.
What the hell is this? The soldiers behind were so frightened that they hurriedly took a few steps back.
Russell had already retreated far from the crater when it appeared, he knew the power of the earthquake, and he didn't want to risk himself to explore these dangerous places.
The crater became very quiet again, but the soldiers had no idea of rescuing their comrades, and turned around to get to safety through the narrow ground between the craters.
At this moment, there was a sound of rustling in the pit, and out of the pit jumped a group of small, pointy-eared brown monsters, armed with short swords and short knives, wearing light leather armor, and their long, dark and narrow yellow eyes staring at the fleeing people.
Russell saw these monsters from a distance and was surprised to find that these monsters were a group of goblins!
A tall goblin chief shouted and gave the order to attack, and the goblins heard the chief's order to grab their weapons and shields and attack the unsuspecting soldiers.
They were about the height of a ten-year-old human child, so they relied on their diminutive stature to attack the abdomen and legs of the soldiers, which is where most soldiers do not wear armor.
Goblins' weapons look like toys for children to play with, but they are very sharp, and the goblins have fermented feces on the blades of their weapons in order to make the most damage possible, so that any creature that is hurt by their weapons will not be able to escape the wound infection in the future, even if they escape.
Goblins use these vicious weapons to fight for the territory of many creatures. The soldiers would not sit still after being attacked by the goblins, wielding their swords and spears to kill the dwarves who were in their way.
However, the soldiers of the Empire have been fighting against human enemies for many years, and most of the weapons they hold are intended for humans.
Despite the frantic counterattack of the soldiers, the goblins relied on their small bodies to nimbly dodge the soldiers' attacks, and the goblins were rarely injured.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Imperial soldiers were entangled by their subordinates, several goblin chieftains roared a few times and ran towards the newly repaired camp gate, obviously trying to open the gate and defeat the Imperial legions.
