chapter 35

"Great! Kishande, Miranda, time your skills to buy me some time when I'm in a stunned state. Ashe, continue to support the adventurers."

"Gaspard, don't!"

Having given out my instructions, I ran towards the center of the Goblin's army. I heard Tyr scream out my name, but I simply ignored him. As I charged forth, I noticed groups of goblins taking the side routes to double back and surround our party from all sides.

'Mir, tie up those Goblins that are trying to go around us, protect our flanks!'

'Yes Lord, I'm on it.'

After Jenna had left to track the Elves, I had Mir join me just in case. Although her stealth wasn't as good as Jenna's, she was still easily able to hide her presence from the human adventurers.

"Octa Slash!"

I instantly killed down dozens of Goblins that were in my way with 8 quick cuts. The risk of being attacked during my stunned period was halved because I was riding on a horse. It was also useful to pierce through the Goblin lines as just the momentum was enough to send them flying.

Pung Pung! Shoot Shoot!

Neiighhhh

Kishande's spell and Miranda's arrow felled two goblins who were about to strike me.

"I second... 2..."

After being released, my distance from the Goblin King had narrowed to just 10 meters.

Quoh!

In response to my advance, the King rushed out to meet me, holding a glaive with both hands whose length matched his height. He was joined by 3 Goblin Commanders while a Wizard and Shaman stayed back, chanting magic from a distance. I threw the long sword I held in my hands towards those two in the backline, before drawing Excalibur.

Pung Pooung. Shoo shoot

Ting Tang

The Goblin King's glaive and my Excalibur clashed and I was able to cut through my opponents glaive. Still, because it was so large, despite ruining his sword I still have to bear the brunt of it's weight.

Hiiiiiinh Kooung

The shock was transmitted to my horse which could no longer stay standing and its legs gave out. Falling down from my horse, I rolled to the ground expertly, allowing me to dodge the slash form one of the Goblin commander's greatsword. Despite not having a clear line of sight, I instinctively used my skill.

"Double Slash!"

Kieee Kieek

I was once again able to cleave the sword in two, but the goblin commander was able to retreat in time leaving a common goblin to take the hit.

Pung, Pong Shoot

Kishande and Miranda's skills arrived at the perfect timing, allowing me to overcome the 1 second stun period.

Kuooooooooo!

By now the Goblin King and Commanders had backed off, and was barking orders as they surrounded me with regular Goblins. Likewise, the Wizard and Shaman stayed far behind.

'Are you turning this into a war of attrition?'

Having crossed swords with Excalibur, it appeared that the Goblin King had realized I was no easy foe, and had cunningly chosen to wear me out with his troops. Such planning indicated a certain level of intelligence.

Having dashed out alone, I was quite isolated from my group of adventurers. Not to mention that the Goblin King and Commanders were always lurking nearby, ready to pounce if I showed the slightest opening.
