A powerful gust, originating from him, swept forward, sending most of the incoming jars crashing off course into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crossbows, fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fern seized the moment to give the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang! Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crossbows at the bow and stern emitted deep roars, the arrows as thick as a baby’s arm shrieking through the air, aimed at the pulling swordfish of the speedboats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swordfish, which had slowed their swimming to facilitate the goblins’ throwing attacks, were in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some arrows pierced through their bodies, with bright red blood spreading rapidly across the sea surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the beach goblins seemed unyielding, not deterred by these losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps having plundered similar scaled ships many times, they had grown careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the scent of blood seemed to drive these creatures into a more frenzied and excited state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more rafts surrounded the Seagull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, it was spectacular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a swarm of ants besieging a beetle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thunk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crossbow arrows with ropes pierced through the air, firmly penetrating the bulwark of the Seagull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this time the crossbow attack came from the goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pillaging fishing and merchant ships, they naturally dismantled and repurposed some lightweight micro crossbows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss’s gaze fell on a ship in the distance, the only decent-sized ship among the beach goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smaller than the Seagull, it looked like a merchant ship too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sails were removed, replaced by a tall mast platform, with goblin archers standing atop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for propulsion, it still relied on those restrained sea beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a modified goblin \"mothership\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed somewhat impressed by this bunch of goblins’ capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like these pirate goblins were smarter in utilizing transportation compared to many goblins he had encountered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblin \"mothership\" didn’t slow down but rammed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both ships shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the ships stabilized, the goblin ship penetrated the Seagull’s left bulwark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, goblins eagerly leapt from the other side of the mast onto the Seagull’s deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, goblins on the other rafts divided into multiple groups, either climbing up with hooks from all directions or climbing aboard the mothership to use it as a springboard to attack the Seagull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaliyah’s prepared spell was cast instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seed swiftly turned into vines, growing and binding the two connected ships together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even if the goblins wanted to retreat, it wouldn’t be possible in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfazed, the goblins leapt onto the Seagull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wave of the boarding battle erupted immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong sailors had some advantages over the regular goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss initially didn’t intervene, just silently standing at the stern, observing the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until he saw many goblins climbing onto the Seagull or boarding the other connecting ship that Gauss, knowing he had lured them into a trap, felt secure enough to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goblins at sea were hard to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once aboard the Seagull, escaping was no longer up to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss lightly tapped his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure floated like a feather into the center of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t immediately swing his sword, just stood quietly there, but an invisible pressure spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind seemed to accelerate in circulation around him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closest goblins suddenly felt a wave of fear, freezing momentarily, their bodies uncontrollably trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sailors seized the opportunity, cutting down the goblins with their curved blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the few unlucky ones were affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of goblins present, even those who hadn’t seen Gauss and theoretically didn’t know of his presence, felt a heaviness in their minds, soon engulfed by an invisible chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins’ Star Destruction had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>",957,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1cf16125aa5cfdb74b2fde07d2f6cd2237e5d1ee052645de80c0c3c4aaf6abb","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-417","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-316",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
