Chapter 1212. War Begins
Lodel frowned.
Two thousand is still a bit too many.
It would be very difficult for the three hundred guards to completely wipe out the enemy, but they had an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
With the ability of the Guards, even if they were fighting alone, one soldier could handle three Goblins. After fighting in a group, the Goblins' numerical advantage would be meaningless.
Just be careful not to consume too much energy due to traveling and affect the combat.
Lodel ordered the advance to continue.
Along the way, the scouts continued to join the main force and report the intelligence they had collected to Lodel.
Most scouts believed that the total number of goblins was over 1,000, while others believed that there were only a few hundred goblin warriors, with the rest being old, weak and disabled.
It is almost impossible for a guard corps of more than 300 people to conceal their whereabouts.
As expected, the guards were discovered by the goblin sentinels.
"There!" Lowe raised his hand and everyone looked in the direction he pointed.
A hundred meters away, on the branches of a tall and lush tree, a thin figure with green skin was jumping back and forth at a rapid speed. As agile as a monkey, it jumped from one tree to another.
"We can't let it get away." With Lodel's loud shout, the wolf scouts quickly chased after it.
Adjutant Zoe raised the longbow in her hand, pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind her and loaded it onto the string.
Lovi only saw her eyes narrowed slightly, and thought she was just randomly shooting an arrow to disrupt the goblin sentinel's escape rhythm, but he didn't expect it to hit directly.
This girl is quite capable! She deserves to be the adjutant.
"It was just luck!" Zoe put down her longbow proudly and reached out to touch her cherry-colored hair on the side of her face.
The goblin sentry tumbled down from the branch, and the wolf scout brought back the body.
Luo Deer's face was as gloomy as water. After discussing with his adjutant, he ordered the team to rest and eat on the spot, and then continue the rapid march without interruption.
Since it is difficult to conceal your whereabouts, let's launch a surprise attack.
Lovi sat on a thick tree root, drinking water from a bamboo tube and eating white bread.
When the war was about to begin, he was very calm and even focused on watching the ants fighting under his feet.
"Master, don't run around later! Lodel said there are a lot of enemies and it could be dangerous." Mosophie sat next to Lowe, holding his knees and said.
"I understand." Lovi nodded slightly.
"Warrior Captain Lodel asked me to protect you! If you die, I will die with you. Lanlan promised her." Lanlan sat on the other side of Lovi, with her ears drooping. "Lanlan has never killed anyone."
"Goblins are not humans, they are aliens." Lovey stroked Lanlan's tail and felt much better.
"Master, don't be like this." Lan Lan covered her tail and scratched it in frustration.
Why would they still have the urge to reproduce when spring had already passed? After a short rest, the team moved forward again. This time, their target was the goblin camp.
It is about six kilometers away.
After more than an hour's march, with only two kilometers left, Laudel ordered a final two-minute break.
Everyone should drink water to replenish water and adjust their condition.
Wolf scout Volme found Lodel with a worried look on his face: "Warrior leader, we have lost contact with Vogaf. The last place he was seen smelled like goblins."
"Really? Vogaf has been captured." Lodel looked deeply at the direction of the goblin's nest. "You'd better be mentally prepared."
"Yes." Volme bowed his head deeply. "Is Vogaf still alive?"
"The goblins will not go easy on male creatures. We can only hope that they have enough food now." Lodel raised the scabbard in her hand, "We have organized, and the whole army will set out now."
Hurrah! The guards raised their swords at the same time.
The marching speed began to increase for the remaining two kilometers, and there was no need to hide their whereabouts.
More and more goblin scouts appeared within Lowe's spiritual perception range. Adjutant Zoe dealt with a few of them, but many still escaped.
At this time, it was already midday when the sun was at its strongest.
Lowe was sweating all over, and the panda butler was in even worse condition, his fur was soaked.
"I hate summer the most." Mossoffe muttered in an angry voice.
Lovey summoned a gust of cool wind, which swirled around Mosuofei.
If he wasn't allowed to cool down, Lovey was afraid he would get heatstroke.
"Thank you. It feels so comfortable." Mosuofei drank all the water in the bamboo tube in one breath.
Goblins had already appeared in everyone's sight. They stood on the hill, overlooking the guards, holding various equipment in their hands.
Most of them are stone and bone tools, but occasionally goblins have weapons made of copper and cast iron.
Their number is several times that of humans, and their numbers are constantly increasing.
Luo Wei took out a helmet from his bamboo backpack and put it on. He was the only one in the team who wore a helmet, which made him feel a little different.
But I can't care about it anymore, swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield. It would be terrible if someone plotted against me.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the front row guards held up their shields, and the back row guards raised their spears.
The guards behind the palace used knives! The gleaming blades could unleash unimaginable lethality in close combat.
Adjutant Zoe was followed by a team of twenty archers.
Each archer was of burly build, completely contrary to the image of slim girls that Lovey had imagined.
Following the command, the archers raised their bows and shot arrows in unison.
There is rarely any negotiation between conflicting races.
Especially with the lowest level of barbaric race like the goblins, there is no need for any negotiation.
The moment the arrows rained down, the war broke out.
The goblins on the hill screamed in unison and charged from the high ground towards the human phalanx below.
They are generally about 1 to 1.2 meters tall, which is about the height of a human child. The average maturity period is three years, and about seven or eight are born in one litter.
Information about the goblins flashed through Lowe's mind. This race gained a foothold on the continent by relying on their extraordinary reproductive abilities.
As long as a goblin has enough females, it can continue to reproduce by thousands of times.
It is worth mentioning that the females here include some female wild beasts such as wild deer and wild wolves.
Like a wave, the goblins crashed into the guards' raised shields. Their sharp spears could not stop their desire for female humans.
Even if they fall in groups, the goblins in the back row will still rush in like crazy.
Oak! Oak! A goblin rushed to Lowe, holding a stone hammer in his hand, swinging it like the wind. Several female warriors around him were helpless.
The panda butler took action! With a body as tall as two meters, he drew his sword with unparalleled force. In an instant, the brave goblin was beheaded.
The cumulative gap in equipment, strength, and skills cannot be made up by courage alone.
The battle continues.
