Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two sharp arrows suddenly flew from behind, piercing the skulls of the two leading goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Anjie!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec didn’t turn around—he just thanked her, swinging his sword to cut down another goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a burly Big Goblin wielding a broadsword hacked at Alec.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the attack landed, a giant sword swept across, hitting the Big Goblin and sending it flying far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec nodded, then quickly stood back-to-back with Bart, who held a heavy sword. Together, they fended off the endless stream of goblins. Standing at the forefront of the battle, the two were like a reef, standing firm against the onslaught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Anjie hopped back and forth atop the beast cart carriages, firing arrows to support them. Stein, the scout, wielded two daggers, using the carriages as cover to launch hit-and-run attacks, picking off goblins one by one. York, the team’s mage, stood in front of the protected crowd, providing constant long-range magical suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the battlefield, the other adventurer teams had adopted similar formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under their combined efforts, the goblins’ offensive was gradually repelled. While many people suffered minor injuries and two beast carts were severely damaged, fortunately, there were no casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let your guard down—their leader is still behind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao——!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, a thunderous roar echoed from the jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s here...... the Goblin Lord——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec’s eyes turned grave as he stared intently at the jungle ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large tree was suddenly snapped in half and flew toward the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dodge——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec yelled in alarm, and the people behind scrambled to get out of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree trunk slammed into a beast cart, smashing the carriage to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec had no time to worry about the damage behind him—his gaze remained fixed on the newly appeared Goblin Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Goblin Lord stood over three meters tall, wielding a massive warhammer with a trunk as its handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly ten Big Goblins surrounded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No Goblin Mages......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec scanned the area and let out a slight sigh of relief—he hadn’t spotted the second-most dangerous threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love what you're reading?

These two were just bugs he could squash with one hammer, yet they darted around relentlessly—it was unbearable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao——!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its roar, several goblins fighting the defenders behind the carriage barrier immediately abandoned their targets and rushed back to the Goblin Lord’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Don’t you dare——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anjie nocked an arrow to stop them, but suddenly several arrows flew from the jungle toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to dodge in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch, troublesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Goblin Archers rushing to support at their lord’s call, Anjie clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“York——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On it! Ea——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>York raised his magic wand high, preparing to cast a spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ga——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a green-skinned goblin slipped through the gap between the carriages, raised a stone spear, and stabbed at York’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>York was forced to abort the spell, swinging his wand to parry the spear before knocking the green-skinned goblin to the ground with a blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchants and passengers holding weapons behind him seized the opportunity to rush forward and finish off the goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of this interruption, York’s support failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec and Bart were immediately surrounded by goblins......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! These cursed demonic beasts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec cut down a green-skinned goblin and cursed at their predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden whistling sound came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Alec could turn around, he was sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alec——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bart shouted in alarm and rushed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec crashed heavily to the ground, but his injuries were not severe—because—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, this thing...... doesn’t care about its own allies at all?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goblin Lord had ambushed Alec successfully because there had been a goblin between them. Normally, that goblin would have blocked the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Goblin Lord didn’t hesitate for a moment—he smashed through the goblin and hit Alec.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the goblin acting as a buffer, Alec hadn’t taken the full brunt of the warhammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ga——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Alec struggled to get up, a green-skinned goblin raised a stone spear and stabbed at him fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec rolled to the side, dodging the attack and swinging his sword upward to hit the goblin’s legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-skinned goblin screamed and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Behind you——!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bart’s urgent voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down Alec’s spine.
