Volume 1 The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 121 Accidents
Russell and his companions were on their way to the Empress's quarters as planned, and there were battlefields full of Imperial soldiers fighting goblins.
After the initial panic of being attacked, the Imperial soldiers were not as helpless as they had been in the face of goblins, and they took out their weapons and began to gather together to deal with these diminutive enemies.
Although the soldiers began to launch a counterattack on the goblins, there were already too many goblin squads in the camp to completely wipe out the enemy in a short period of time.
If Russell had seen Imperial soldiers besieged by the enemy in peacetime, he would have stepped forward to help.
It's just that now is the moment of life and death, and they can't afford to delay here for a moment, so they can only bypass these places of battle and continue their journey.
Scattered goblins popped up from around corners along the way, throwing axes or arrows at them.
The group spent a long time trying to kill these obstructive goblins, and after the battle, Russell looked back at the sky with a worried look on his face.
After taking out the last of the goblins, they finally made it to the Empress's quarters.
However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the camp and entered the station, Russell saw a scene he did not expect.
Russell looked ahead, and there were many large craters on the ground outside the Empress's residence, and the large craters were far more hollow than the others.
And near the big pit, there were the corpses of the dragoon knights of the Empress's Guard, and there were also many goblin corpses in brown iron armor, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, emitting a pungent smell of blood.
Russell looked closely at the corpses on the ground, and was surprised to notice that these goblins were significantly larger than normal goblins.
And they are also very well equipped, not only are they wearing iron armor, but their weapons are no longer short swords and short knives, but they are replaced by armor-piercing weapons like axes and hammers, as if they are tailor-made to deal with the heavy armor of dragoons.
The battle here was so tragic that Russell did not see a complete corpse outside the station, and there were traces of the battle everywhere.
What happened to the Empress after such a fierce battle? Russell couldn't help but worry about the Empress's safety when he looked at such a tragic battlefield.
The crowd could not pause here for a long time, and after a detailed survey of the vicinity was not in danger, they hid their bodies and quietly groped their way inside.
There were still a lot of corpses in the station, and seeing the traces of blood splattered on the ground, it seemed that the battle had only been over for a short time. There were even some people lying on the ground who were still moving slightly, and some of them could let out a low moan.
Now was not the time to treat the wounded knights, Russell could only apologize in his heart and continue to rush towards the empress's tent.
The crowd walked inside for a while, and Russell and the others finally arrived near the tent, and before they could walk forward, they heard someone shouting loudly nearby.
Seeing this, Russell hid behind the box, quietly poked his head out to observe the situation ahead, and looked at the source of the sound, it turned out to be a muscular goblin chief with a dozen goblin warriors standing in front of the empress's tent and shouting.
Russell frowned, there is still a Goblin Chief alive here? It seems that he still has a dozen elite subordinates, this is not easy to do!
Where is the Empress now? Russell continued to observe the situation.
There was no movement around, and it seemed that the Empress was still hiding in the camp, and there were many railings piled up at the entrance, which should have been cut down by the knights and blocked here as a defensive facility.
It seems that these goblins don't know the situation inside either, so they can only call for battle outside and don't dare to rush in easily.
Now that the Empress is surrounded by enemy troops in a tent with their backs to them, it's a good chance to strike a surprise attack!
Russell thought of this plan and took out the Dawn to let it release its previous brilliance, but the body of the Dawn's sword did not have the appearance of the previous deaf eyes except for the slight glow.
Russell sighed, how on earth could he unleash the true power of Dawn? The mage who gave Dawn to him didn't tell him how to use it!
Russell turned to Charlotte and Ball and asked, "Can you guarantee a one-hit kill on the enemy in front of you?"
The two nodded in unison, "The enemy is very close to us, and we should be able to kill them." ”
"Good!" Russell glanced at the goblin chief's heavy armor, it seemed that he could not be fatally injured by arrows alone, Russell looked at the nearby tent and had a plan in mind.
Russell instructed Carlos and Carter again: "It seems that the three of us are going to act together, the leader of the enemy is very well equipped, I am afraid that he cannot be killed by sneak attack alone, it just so happens that there are many tents here, they are built very firmly by craftsmen, we can just climb to the top of these tents, quietly transfer to the head of the enemy leader, and give them a surprise attack from the sky!"
The Goblin Chieftain who was calling at the door was obviously a little impatient, and his shouting became more and more impatient, and the goblins under him were also eager to try.
It seemed that there was no longer any delay, and Russell, Carlos, and Carter climbed up to the top of the tent one after another along the stakes, and ran along the edge of the tent in the direction of the enemy.
