journey of fifth true dragon

War against clayman forces -2

After receiving command from benimaru , goblin riders led by gobta went to the base of mercenary group hereward. From a hill top he observed his enemies .
They are strong maybe stronger than us.  We are matched in numbers as well.  We have to be careful .

He analyzed the situation . A huge majin came from one of tents . He was almost 2.5 metres tall , protruding from his head was two horns  and his body is  strudy and muscled .he has brownish skin wearing a black spiked armour . His aura was completely different from rest of mercenary . Gobta started panicking .

What the hell is he ? He looks very strong. Even in two -on - fight we can't win  . Maybe we should wait for some backup . Yeah that is right thing to do .

He informed other members to wait for some reinforcement and contacted benimaru .

" Gallus sama , we received a message that beastmen have attacked the main camp and want reinforcement from us . " A majin informed .

" Then we should go there . I am eager test my strength against beastkeeters . Let's move towards main camp . "
Other mercenaries followed his order and prepared their equipments .

This is bad . Why is benimaru San not sending reinforcement ? They are moving , it will be too much for Alvis san , they already have that yamza guy .

" Captain , what should we do ? They are going where Alvis sama currently is . Can they handle so many of them " gobte asked , other officers looked at him for response .

I can't back down now . As a leader I have to make decisions. Even if I can't defeat him , I can at least buy some time for Alvis san and others .

" We will engage them in battle . We will stop them here until any reinforcement came . " Gobta said hiding his anxiety .
Goblin riders move forward and blocked the path of mercenaries .

" We can't let you go there . "

" How are you all ? Move aside from our path . We don't fight weaklings ." A majin said looking down on them .

SMACK ! 

" Can't you see they have come here to fight us . It disrespectful fora warrior denying their challengers earnest request . We don't have any obligation to save that yamza anyway . Let's enjoy the battle . "

" You must be their leader . I am commander of this unit , gallus . I am looking forward to our duel . " he moves towards gobta .

" I am gobta , Captain of goblin riders." They both greeted each other.  On one hand , gallus was smiling full of confidence  gobta was pretty tense .

" Boys , show them the power given to us by rimuru sama . " Gobta said and goblin riders and mercenaries clashed .

***

Gobta hold his shortsword ( kodachi ) tightly . Gallus wielded his gigantic Warhammer . Gobta shivered seeing the hammer , it was almost 2 metres long looking like it will crush it opponent in single strike . Gallus was swinging it as easily as a thin sword .
He gulped
" Can we start now ?" Gallus asked

" Yes '' gobta had no intention to say that but he accepted it .

He ran towards gobta and smashed his hammer . Gobta barely doughed it but was blown away by it's impact .
Point at which hammer landed on ground a huge crater was created .
Gallus continued his attacks . Gobta barely managed to escape it . He has been using his extra skill < sage > and < shadow step > to it's full extent increasing his thought processing and speed respectively .
But gallus was surprisingly fast for his huge body .
