In a series of thuds, the goblin slammed into Katarina's protective wall, and large black brambles tumbled out of the ground and wrapped around their legs, tightening tighter and tighter, sharp spikes churning through the flesh, causing a series of terrible screams.
The fireball reappeared, this time near the crowd, and Kulona and the shaman had no time to stop it, and the other three leaders had not yet arrived, finally playing their due role. At the same time, the elven ranger's hand plucked the bowstring like a phantom, pouring out the shadows of arrows, and almost every long arrow pierced the vital point of the goblin warriors, freeing them from the severe pain.
However, the opponents were not timid, or they knew that there was a great patriarch and leader behind them, so they did not dare to show their timidity at all, and continued to attack the corpse of their fellow clan as if they were crazy.
This way of fighting did bring considerable pressure, because among the hundreds of big goblins, there were many elite-level small leaders, and even a few of them were obviously in the middle and upper echelons of the third order, which was not much better than Red and Yelena, they could only do their best to hold the flanks, and occasionally launch a few limited counterattacks.
Caterina was the first to bear the brunt of the pressure, but no matter how the big goblin hit her, she didn't take a step back, and the shield and long sword in her hand were swung alternately, and the muffled sound of the shield blow and the wind of arc slashing were endless, fully exerting the power of a sword and shield knight. Hold on to this line of defense in front of you.
A loud shout came from not far away, and the big goblin leader with a big sword in his hand violently pushed away the people who were huddled in front of him, and walked quickly towards the human woman standing at the forefront of the battle with disdain. When it was less than ten meters away, it directly swung its weapon, and its two-handed sword slashed through the air and fell towards the other party.
Caterina was engaged in a battle with a fierce goblin, a leader who had just pounced, and his size and arm strength had already blocked the girl's shield several times, preventing him from effectively inflicting damage on the warriors around him. However, Katerina's protection power exceeded the leader's imagination, and the swords of those ordinary warriors were directly slashed at her. It was also immediately bounced away by an invisible force or directly slipped aside, with little real threat.
At this moment, the big goblins in the rear suddenly split to the sides like a tide, and the leader's attack came with a roar. The little leader immediately took a few steps back, and made a gesture to the human girl in front of him, which was quite insulting among the big goblins, as if he had foreseen the tragic fate of this human woman.
Caterina looked up at the attack from the goblin leader, knowing that this opponent was no match for the little boss she had just had. Immediately reflexively raised his shield. I want to block this powerful blow first.
However, when the shield was halfway raised, it slowly stopped, and the girl bit her lip tightly, and at the same time put the shield down again, but her eyes gradually flashed with a bright look.
Caterina stood silently, her body began to exude a different momentum, and her skin gradually glowed with a faint red glow, and the floating soil on the ground near her trembled slightly as if it had been blown by the wind. The next moment, the girl looked coldly at the little leader who had retreated not far away. Her gaze was sharp as a knife, and she took a step towards it. The span of this step is not large, and it is impossible to pose any threat to the small boss, nor is it possible to dodge the attack from the front, it is like making a completely meaningless move.
But as Caterina fell, a heavy sound of horses' hooves sounded behind her, and then a phantus emerged from the air, resembling a horse with its front hooves raised high. Then, the phantom swept through countless eyes at great speed, and stomped heavily on the chest of the little leader with a stunned expression.
With a "click", the chest of the little goblin leader completely collapsed, and a stream of blood spurted out of its mouth, and the strong body was hit off the ground by the force of this blow, drawing a long arc in mid-air, and falling to the ground dozens of meters away.
This scene frightened countless goblins, and the leader's face became more solemn, and it pressed hard, and the two-handed sword slashed at the girl's forehead with faster and more fierce momentum.
Caterina took a deep breath and raised her sword to meet it, and suddenly there were spiral ripples around the long sword, which went down the sword body until the girl's body was completely enveloped, and then it was clear that this was actually a virtual image of a unicorn, and the long sword was the long unicorn.
The two weapons met head-on, and the power wrapped in the big sword rolled up a strong wind, and the girl's ponytail was blown away by the wind pressure, and her long black and silky hair immediately flew up behind her head.
The greatsword reverberated with the crash, the leader's face filled with shock, and Caterina gasped and finally took a few steps back, her footsteps so heavy that they made deep marks on the ground. However, the girl's eyes were quite bright, because the opponent was a fourth-order goblin leader, and it was completely unimaginable for her to confront it head-on, but after having the blood of the sacred unicorn, she not only killed the goblin who insulted her with gestures in one fell swoop, but also blocked the leader's full force, which made Caterina feel a faint trace of pride while being excited.
Of course, for Katerina, this is a pride that belongs to both her and Leon.
But in a blink of an eye, the girl calmed down, after all, the amount of body she consumed to greatly stimulate the power of the blood vein was quite expensive, and she felt tired in an instant, if she didn't know that Li Ang had many means to recover, she really didn't dare to be so "wasteful". What's more, the most powerful leader in the opponent is not only the one in front of her, the other two leaders are crossing from both sides and heading straight behind her, even if she knows that her companions are prepared and don't have to bear it alone, but Caterina is still a little worried.
At this time, the two leaders also saw the battle just now, they glanced at each other, knowing that these humans were a little troublesome, but thinking about it, that young man was the lord of the human race, and it was said that his identity was similar to that of the great patriarch, how could he dare to come rashly if he didn't have the strength to match?
"Blackstone, you go and kill that cleric, I'll deal with the mage!" the leader with a thick wooden stick suddenly slashed back at Red who rushed up, and shouted to the other.
Although the Great Goblins are perceived by humans as evil, greedy, and stupid, they are also intelligent creatures, and the stronger they are, the more obvious the enlightenment of intelligence. The two leaders were well aware of the powerful lethality of the mage to ordinary warriors, and also understood the control of the clergy over a battle, so they didn't pay much attention to Red and Yelena, who wanted to stop them, and rushed directly to the rear, towards the two girls.
