On the other side, Rodney led a team of thirty guards and eighteen mercenaries and rushed all the way to the south gate of the town.
When everyone arrived, more than a hundred monsters had already rushed into the south gate.
When the two sides met, they immediately rushed forward shouting.
"Lightning ball!"
"Flame bomb!"
"Water Blade!"
The wizard among the mercenaries raised his wand and chanted a spell, and magic balls flew towards the monster team.
At the same time, the goblin priest walking behind the monster also raised the gem-studded wooden staff in his hand.
A fireball with a diameter of one meter condensed above the goblin priest.
The formed fireball flew towards the center of the guards.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
Magic from both sides landed at the same time, causing immediate casualties on the field.
Rodney and several level 9 guards rushed the fastest, avoiding the damage of the goblin sacrificial magic and colliding with several goblin warriors.
“Kill!”
After the two sides came into contact, fighting began immediately.
Among the more than one hundred monsters, half of them are above level six, and the rest are level 4 or 5 goblins and ogres - these are the elite troops of the monsters.
On Rodney's side, there are three teams of guards (one team in the town of Gruul itself) and two teams of mercenaries, all of which are above level six.
Moreover, there are more high-level fighters above level 8 than monsters.
Rodney, who was at level 10, waved the spear in his hand, and all the low-level monsters that stood in front of him were thrown into the air, and after landing on the ground, they were killed by the guards around Rodney.
A level 9 kobold killed a level 6 mercenary with his machete and turned his attention to Rodney.
Rodney sensed something and turned to look at the kobold.
"Die!" Rodney flipped his hands, and several phantoms of the gun tip appeared in the air.
The kobold roared and rushed forward with a machete.
After killing several goblins, Sharp was also attacked by a level 9 goblin warrior.
As for Mavis, her figure flickered on the battlefield like a ghost.
Every time it stops and appears, the dagger in its hand will take the life of a monster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another huge fireball fell, and several guards and mercenaries who were unable to dodge were reduced to ashes in the flames.
Mavis's snake eyes looked towards the position of the goblin priest behind the monster, and she jumped a few times and disappeared into the darkness.
The monsters were also bombarded by mage mercenaries.
Three magicians, one at the lightning level, one at the fire level, and one at the water level, killed more than a dozen monsters in a short while.
But then they were targeted by a group of ratmen.
On the battlefield, magic and arrows were flying everywhere, and blood was flying along with roars.
In less than ten minutes, more than twenty people on the human side fell!
There are only about forty monsters left - most of these forty monsters are above level 6.
Rodney gasped and pulled the spear out of the kobold's body.
There were cracks on his armor, and the blood from the wounds dyed the armor red.
“Boom!”
The body of a goblin flew in front of Rodney, who immediately shot it in the heart.
Sharp, covered in blood, ran over from the direction where the goblin flew out.
He yelled at Rodney, "Captain Luo, these missions are not what we agreed on. Half of my men are dead by now!"
Rodney found a monster to fight and replied, "Perhaps we have fallen into their trap since we entered the town of Gruul. There is no point in talking about this now. Let's find a way to repel them!"
"repel?"
Sharp dodged the arrows shot from the side, pointed at the back of the monster and shouted: "There is a goblin priest over there! Judging from the strength of his magic, it must be level 10!
There are also two high-level trolls protecting it nearby.
If we let it continue bombarding us like this, we will all be killed sooner or later!"
Plop!
A black shadow flew from the air between the two of them, opened its mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
When Rodney recognized Mavis, a bad thought came to his mind.
"I failed, but I killed a troll guard!"
Mavis got up from the ground, took out a bottle of medicine from the package, uncorked it and poured it into her mouth.
"Healing potion!"
Sharp's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the bottle thrown away by Mavis.
The effect of healing potions is the same as that of healing magic. They can heal injuries and even save lives at critical moments!
Although it is the least effective healing potion, it is also very expensive, costing 1 gold coin per bottle.
This kind of stuff is used to save lives, and he also has a bottle in his package.
Now Mavis has reached the point where she has to drink medicine, which shows that the two trolls are also very powerful.
Sharp grabbed a level 6 goblin by the neck and lifted it up, looking around.
"No, if you keep fighting like this, I might lose my life here!"
In fact, when Sharp arrived at the town of Gruul and learned that the number of monsters had doubled to one hundred, he already regretted it.
But he didn't dare to leave with his team - if he was followed by the monsters and surrounded halfway, he would be dead for sure.
Moreover, at that time, there were only thirty level 6 monsters, but with their strength, they were not impossible to defeat.
But the true number of monsters only became apparent after the attack tonight.
Not counting the slimes, the number of monsters reached two hundred.
Not only are the number of monsters above level 6 equal to theirs, there is also a goblin priest!
"Captain Sharp, Albert is dead, we can't hold on any longer!"
A mercenary from the Bloodstain Mercenary Group ran over here in a panic, and when he saw Sharp, he started crying.
Albert is the team leader who came with Sharp and is a level 9 fighter.
Just now, he was shot in the chest by a ratman's crossbow, and then hit by a fireball thrown by a goblin priest.
Sharp's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the news of Albert's death.
“Crack!”
Sharp exerted force on his hands and strangled the goblin's throat.
He looked at the backs of Rodney and Mavis who were fighting, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Since the mission intelligence is wrong, don't blame me for being disloyal!"
Sharp, holding a big knife, kept retreating and finally disappeared on the battlefield.
As Rodney and Mavis were fighting, they suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
After turning their heads and not seeing Sharp, the two couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, where is this guy!"
On the battlefield, the disadvantage of human professionals is getting bigger and bigger, while the monsters are getting braver and braver.
Finally, when there were less than twenty people left, Rodney ordered to fight and retreat.
The monsters are closing in.
The goblin priest looked at the shifting battlefield, put away his staff, and walked forward.
The guard troll followed closely beside the goblin priest, looking around blankly.
“Ahem!”
An injured goblin struggled to get up at the edge of the battlefield.
When he saw the goblin priest, he immediately picked up a dagger from nearby and used it to protect the goblin priest.
The goblin priest looked at the blood-soaked goblin in front of him, tapped the latter's shoulder with his wooden staff, and said in the language of the demons: "Brave warrior, well done. After the battle, the great Goblin King and Lady Liz Christiana will reward you. Now you stay with me!"
As he spoke, the Goblin Priest passed by the injured Goblin.
