"boom……"

After a brief incantation, fireballs floated in mid-air. As a polymer of fire element, they would explode upon contact with a target, causing damage from both high temperature and impact. This is the so-called Fireball spell.

Although it is the most basic offensive magic, it will never become obsolete in theory.

In the early stages, you can use simple fireballs to deal with monsters like goblins. When facing minotaurs, you can simply create larger and more fireballs.

It's even said that the kingdom has powerful magicians who used fireballs to kill the dragon...

The forest environment is perfect for using fire.

With the remote unit ready, the sheriff looked at the quiet woods in front of him, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

What's going on? Why is the situation here different from what I imagined?

Theoretically, this is the best ambush point. Even if they are well prepared, the monsters could still achieve good results if they launch a full-scale attack.

To ensure safety, he even had several warriors prepare instant-cast magic scrolls to deal with potential sneak attacks, giving the back row precise timing.

Now, his attack is ready, but the monster hasn't made a move yet?

"Something's not right. Something's ten or even nine parts wrong. What's that vampire thinking?"

Could it be that it has some other conspiracy, and the plan that I saw through before was actually deliberately exposed?

I thought it was on the first floor, and I was on the second floor, but it's actually on the third floor?!

An invisible pressure weighed on his heart, and a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. The sheriff felt that this time, even though he had overestimated his opponent as much as possible, he had still underestimated him.

However, with the die already cast, he had no choice but to give the order to begin the operation.

"Everyone, prepare to attack!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Three cannons fired at the forest, the shells being some kind of red energy ore.

First, it shattered some of the trees, then the energy inside exploded, and flames engulfed the surrounding environment.

The mage followed up with a fireball, finishing off areas the cannons couldn't reach.

"Gagaga..."

The attack was indeed effective; there were several goblins lying in ambush, and they were pure cannon fodder.

According to the vampire viscount, they should hide here to launch a sneak attack and buy time so that monsters from other places can gather here.

With its green skin and slender body, it hides in the bushes and in the tree canopy, making it difficult to spot as long as it remains still.

As it turned out, the sheriff accidentally discovered them and sent them away with a barrage of fire.

These goblins are pretty tough; they didn't utter a sound even after being hit by the explosion (I'm sure of it).

Breaking through the woods in front of him did yield some results, but the sheriff felt no joy in his success.

"Vampire, what exactly is your conspiracy? There are only some goblins here. Where are you hiding your trump card?"

"Human, you actually discovered my goblin, and even used such violent methods to desecrate its corpse?"

What are you thinking? Why can't I understand your actions anymore?

The vampire viscount was also puzzled as to why the goblin he had used to buy time was instantly killed.

However, it still did not obtain any more intelligence from the human side.

The sheriff was still hiding something; he hadn't seen the real cards yet.

"My ambush was all anticipated; this guy predicted my actions..."

Faced with this top human expert, the vampire felt that his plan was completely useless.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
