Chapter 33 The whole team charges!
Seeing the goblins squeaking and scrambling to assemble five or six hundred paces away, the slave-catching team felt relieved and began to don their armor.
Of course, only Zwann and Enlian had proper full sets of armor to wear.
Other regular workers only needed to wear a helmet and a woolen cloth armor, while the slaves only had weapons.
The slaves sprang into action, helping the two of them get dressed.
Zwan's armor was fairly standard; he wore a layer of chainmail over soft leather inner armor, then another layer of thick leather over chainmail, and wide shoulder armor made of iron plates and leather.
Finally, add a leather belt with a pouch hanging from it, insert a dagger into your lower back, and pick up a shield; the armor is now complete.
With the help of four slaves, it was almost instantaneous.
But things are a bit different for Enlian.
Ziwang couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
Enlian, who was already wearing soft leather armor, took a sleeveless leather robe with a hood. Judging from the way it was falling, the robe was very heavy.
Enlian simply pulled the robe over her head, the folds of the robe making a clattering sound.
Once fully donned, the armor covered Enlian's entire head and torso, extending down to the upper half of her thighs.
This armor was specially made by the slave-catching team for the orcs they hired.
The sleeveless robe was covered with metal plates, and its size was increased to match the orc's physique. Thickness was also added to areas that needed special protection, such as the head, resulting in an extremely heavy overall weight.
A single piece of armor can take up half the load of a donkey, and an ordinary soldier would be unable to move while wearing it.
Ironically, the bear-orc can still charge forward while wearing it!
This is why the slave-catching team is not afraid of goblins!
Although it wasn't the first time he had seen it, Ziwan couldn't help but take a second look.
Zwan felt a surge of pride when he recalled how Enlian had rampaged through the goblins wearing it a few days earlier.
In other words, they didn't know what they were about to face from the group of goblins in front of them.
Otherwise, they would have run away long ago.
Lasso looked into the distance again and saw that the goblin disturbance was subsiding. He quickly shouted to the slaves, "Hurry, hurry!"
"Only the arm armor and leg armor are missing!"
The slaves had just finished tiptoeing to install the shoulder armor on Enli when they hurriedly began to dress her in the other parts of her armor.
Finally, they got everything done before the goblins ended their riot.
cing——
Ziwan and Laso drew their swords at the same time, and the other team members also picked up their spears.
"Forward! Fight!"
With a loud shout from Zwan, the slave-catching team began to advance quickly.
Only one slave guarding the donkeys remained, leading three donkeys and slowly following behind.
Li Mosi, who was hiding on the high ground on the left, couldn't help but pinch her face.
What exactly are these people doing?
Are you planning to walk over in a line like this?
Aren't you afraid the goblins will run away?
In the original owner's memory, the slave-catching team wasn't this rigid, was it?
Li Mosi didn't know the specific reason why the slave-catching team's strategy was affected.
Fortunately, things turned out as he expected; the slave-catching team did indeed head straight for the fake stronghold.
In his shock, he didn't notice that the saint behind him was staring wide-eyed at the group hundreds of meters away.
Thief!
If it's just a thief, goblins might be able to handle it.
But why is there a warrior with a shield and emblem at the very front of the thieves?
It is blasphemous for wicked people like thieves to use emblems!
Three hundred steps... two hundred and fifty steps...
The slave-catching team approached quickly.
The goblins gradually took their positions.
Two hundred steps!
Zivan brandished his sword.
"Charge, team!"
With a loud shout, all the slave hunters charged forward.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—
Enlian broke away from the group and charged towards the goblins!
As she ran, the metal plates in her armor collided violently, making a loud bang with every kick!
Judging from his height, which was a head taller than an average person, Li Mosi recognized him at a glance as the bear-beastman she had seen that day!
Unlike what I saw the day before, the bear-orc was now wearing a leather robe that covered him from head to halfway up his thighs, and it sounded like it was reinforced with iron plates!
outrageous.
It's a humanoid tank.
However, even a humanoid tank is still a human.
You don't necessarily have to break through his armor to hurt him!
The bear-beastman's mere presence was enough to terrify the goblins, and the twenty or so goblins that Zi Yi had sent out to feign engagement instinctively retreated.
Flatheads are among them.
To it, the giant before it was nothing short of a monster!
They're just as terrifying as trolls!
No.
Trolls don't make such terrifying noises!
It wanted to back away, but the elder was standing right behind it!
As the giant creature drew closer, the old goblin commanded, "Those in front, throw your javelins! Everyone else, run back to the cave!"
"Squeak?"
"Wow!"
The goblin, who had just been thinking about how to retreat, was so excited by the order that he threw his stone spear and ran away.
Unfortunately, there was another wall of pine needles on the other side, guarded by an old goblin, so they could only flee back to the cave entrance.
Otherwise, the strong goblin would have taken the opportunity to escape.
Snapped--
Zi Yi looked down from the high ground on the right.
Because the goblins threw their spears almost in a flying motion, some of them hit the bear-orcs.
But the bear-beastman didn't slow down at all.
The spears did not inflict any effective damage on the armor.
It only made a collision sound.
Fortunately, the humans behind them didn't stray too far from the bear-beastmen; they all came within sixty paces!
Zi Yi stood up from behind the pine needle cover and shouted the order: "Fire! Push the logs!"
A goblin suddenly emerged from the high ground, shouting loudly, naturally attracting the attention of the slave-catching team.
Even the bear-orcs, who never hesitated to throw spears, turned to look.
This slowed her down a bit.
The same applies to humans.
But the next moment, even more goblins emerged from behind the pine needles on the high platforms on both sides.
They took out their spear throwers and slingshots, ready to attack.
"ambush!"
Lasso realized the problem.
At this moment, he had many questions in his mind.
When was it discovered?
Just how smart are these goblins?
Aren't goblins wild beasts?
In an instant, all doubts were transformed into a command.
"Keep charging forward, team!"
The platforms on both sides are as tall as three people, and you can't climb them all at once, so you can only keep rushing forward!
Kill the enemy, and they won't get hurt!
The command reached his ears.
The same doubts were immediately squeezed out of the minds of the slave-catching team, and they carried them out without hesitation.
"For food!"
"For Lord Talis!"
"Kill the goblins!"
The slave-catching team roared once more and charged forward.
Zivan held his shield to his chest and they advanced together.
Before the slave-catching team could take more than a few steps, the pine needle bunkers on both sides rustled.
Several horizontal logs were lifted out from behind the bunker!
There are even more goblins!
"Hit him!"
"I'm throwing it away!"
The goblins squeaked and squeaked as they threw pine trunks with branches still attached down the steep slope. The fastest spearmen and slingers loaded their ammunition and began their attack.
"Damn it!"
The first round of shooting was chaotic, with most goblins aiming at the bear-orcs, and only a few confident slingshot users attacking the humans behind them.
Unfortunately, a significant portion of the firepower aimed at the bear orcs missed, and even the hits didn't have much effect.
The wooden spear was blocked, and the stones were deflected.
thump—
Just as Li Mosi was feeling sorry, the bear-beastman suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
[Target conditions: carrying heavy loads, minors, injured and unconscious]
He's unconscious?
