Chapter 47 The Weak Goblin Warrior
Chapter 47 The Weak Goblin Warrior
Without hesitation, the two Yuri brothers immediately jumped off the carriage.
House and his two companions followed closely behind.
As soon as House stepped out of the carriage, he could see from afar that the guards accompanying the caravan were fighting the goblins ahead.
At a glance, there must be at least twenty or thirty goblins.
There were also three goblin archers among them.
Although the caravan had a large number of people, about sixty or seventy in total, most of them were logistics personnel, with only about twenty being guards.
Although the number of guards was roughly the same as the number of goblins, and their equipment was not inferior, the caravan was still at a disadvantage when facing the goblins.
The reason was that among the group of goblin minions stood an even larger goblin.
Goblin warrior?!
House encountered the goblin warriors once again on the outskirts of the forest, and he really didn't know what to say.
This is no longer a matter of luck.
Fortunately, this time, the advantage is on their side.
With the arrival of several powerful adventurers, including House, the situation on the battlefield instantly reversed.
The Yuri brothers, wielding longswords and shields, were holding back the goblin warrior.
On the other side, Ian's archery skills were superb. He drew his bow repeatedly and hit his target every time, instantly killing three goblin archers hiding in the distance.
Roland, acting as a scout, didn't AFK. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the interior of the battlefield, quickly reaping goblin imps with a dagger.
Priest Aaron then raised his hand and cast a healing spell to heal the caravan guards who had been wounded by the goblins.
Only House, possessing the powerful fireball spell, could not afford to accidentally injure friendly forces with the current mixed enemy and ally forces, so he had to suppress his urge to act, observe the situation, and wait for an opportunity to strike.
After Yuri and his brother worked together to keep the goblin warrior at bay and create an opening, House seized the opportunity, shouted a warning, and then fired a fireball at the goblin warrior.
The Flame Missile, upgraded to level 2, has grown from the size of a palm to almost the size of a human head, and its power has increased several times over.
The effective range of the attack has also been increased to sixty meters.
The fire missile, gleaming with an orange-red light, flew rapidly toward the goblin warrior like a meteor, leaving a long trail of red energy flames after it left his hand.
Almost instantly, the fire missile covered a distance of fifty meters and arrived in front of the goblin warrior.
Having already received a warning from House, the Yuri brothers quickly dodged to the sides.
"Bang!!!"
A huge explosion rang out.
Beneath the thin mist of flying blood and flesh, the goblin warrior let out a shrill, painful roar as both arms were blown off at the elbows, blood gushing from the wounds.
Its weapons, along with its two arms, were blown off by House's powerful fireball.
How can an ordinary flesh and blood body withstand a powerful magical attack?!
"Gah—"
The goblin warrior stood still, howling in agony.
Before it could fully express its pain, a second fireball had already shot through the air, touched its two yellowed front teeth, and slammed straight into its face.
He would strike with all his might, determined to kill the opponent in one breath, leaving them no chance to resist.
Under House's double barrage of fire missiles, the goblin warrior finally collapsed to the ground, completely incapacitated.
Its head was charred black, and its mouth was mutilated, with only a few broken teeth remaining.
House didn't expect that his opponent would fall after just two shots.
It seems that my strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.
Of course, the cooperation of teammates also plays a role, so one should not be too arrogant.
Seeing the goblin warrior lying on the ground, still slightly heaving from the blow of House's magic, the Yuri brothers immediately stepped forward and finished him off with their swords.
After the goblin warrior fell, the remaining goblin imps, seeing the situation was dire, scattered and fled.
Meanwhile, the caravan's morale soared, and they pressed their advantage.
Compared to speed, how could a goblin's short legs possibly outrun a trained caravan guard?
Before long, the caravan guards had wiped out all the goblin hordes that had scattered and fled.
After quickly clearing the scene and treating and bandaging the injured, the caravan continued on its way.
House and the others got back into the carriage.
Looking at the Yuri brothers and Roland, who were covered in dust and bloodstains and looked disheveled, and then glancing at Ian beside him, who was clean but sweating profusely from repeatedly drawing his bow, House secretly rejoiced that he had mastered the spellcasting skill.
As for Pastor Aaron beside him, he remained calm and composed, leisurely flipping through the church scriptures in his hands.
Of the six adventurers, only he and House did not need to engage in excessive physical labor, thus maintaining their "elegance and composure."
Having just finished a battle, the Yuri brothers have already generated a whole host of topics.
The two marveled at Ian's archery precision, Roland's swift attack, and House's terrifying magical reserves.
They had seen spellcasters unleash level 2 fire missiles before.
But they had never seen anyone like House, who could fire two fireballs in a row, and whose power and explosive force far exceeded that of ordinary spellcasters.
This means that House's magical foundation far surpasses that of other ordinary spellcasters.
"You guys cooperated very well."
House was not complacent; instead, he attributed the credit to the two of them.
House had a feeling that there was something wrong with the two brothers. They kept praising others and seemed to be trying to find out more about them.
After attributing the credit to them, House noticed that the two brothers didn't seem to care. Instead, they took the opportunity to inquire about the backgrounds and strengths of the other people.
House felt increasingly uneasy.
His intuition told him that there was something wrong with these two.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
After all, the twins look a bit silly, and their smiles are quite innocent.
Without venting further on that topic, House smoothly changed the subject, bringing up the goblin warrior from before.
House was curious as to why goblin warriors would appear on the outskirts of the forest.
This is definitely not right; the Adventurers' Guild has also given its preliminary conclusion.
Unfortunately, although the guild has given its conclusion and sent investigators into the forest to investigate, it has not yet given any results. House has had to turn to other aspects to gain a deeper understanding.
When the topic of goblin warriors came up, Yuri and Ian echoed their sentiments, admitting that they had indeed encountered goblin warriors frequently in the forest recently.
In their casual conversations with other adventurers, they also learned that many goblin warriors had inexplicably appeared on the outskirts of the forest.
"Could it be that autumn has arrived?"
At that moment, Pastor Aaron said something out of the blue.
Upon hearing this, the other adventurers all showed expressions of sudden realization, but House, the "outsider" and new adventurer, still looked completely bewildered.
Autumn has arrived, and goblin warriors have appeared on the outskirts of the forest. What does that have to do with it?
