Chapter 10 The Moment of Slaughter
Chapter 10 The Moment of Slaughter
The key to defeating the enemy by capturing their leader is to achieve victory with fewer troops.
Within goblin tribes, the difference in combat power between elite goblins and ordinary goblins is enormous, making this crucial point even more prominent.
If the plan goes smoothly, Misfiel can snipe the elite goblins that come out in pursuit during the ambush.
After the leader dies, the remaining ordinary goblins will be like a pile of loose sand, easily defeated.
Luo Qi's gaze passed through the subjects in the Emperor's Banner, following the rabbit girl who was stealthily approaching the goblin settlement.
She moved incredibly fast, just like a real white rabbit.
With one foot still lurking in the bushes, she darted behind a large tree in the blink of an eye. As soon as the goblin sentry relaxed even slightly, she would get one step closer to the goblin tribe.
Once Dorothy reached the right position, she wasted no time, drew her bow, and fired.
The arrow initially emitted a faint glow, but the moment it flew out, all the light sank into the arrow's interior, even absorbing external light like a black hole.
The arrow, like a shooting star, pierced through the goblin on the watchtower in an instant.
Before the sound of the bowstring could be heard, the rabbit-man scout fired another arrow with lightning speed, knocking over the brazier on the watchtower. The wooden watchtower instantly billowed out thick smoke, and the firelight illuminated the surrounding environment.
Instantly, the goblin tribe was thrown into chaos. Screams, running, and the sounds of objects colliding filled the air. The green-skinned monsters ran around in a panic, some trying to put out the fire but only making it spread further, while others waved their sticks and shouted wildly.
In the chaos, a goblin shaman dressed in a brightly colored robe stormed out of the central room.
It was hunched over, and its bone staff slammed heavily on the ground.
"Woohoo!"
A roar brought the chaos to an abrupt halt.
Four muscular, two-meter-tall elite goblins stomped forward, surrounding the shaman and baring their teeth as they roared, drawing a group of ordinary goblins to gather around in fear.
At this moment, the scout, who was hiding in the bushes, stared at the four elite goblins with a furrowed brow.
They are about two meters tall and covered with muscle lumps.
These four high-ranking goblins were also wearing well-fitting breastplates, and their weapons were also made of steel.
"Five Tier 1 monsters. Even if those hundred or so ordinary goblins don't fight, the high-end combat power of this tribe already surpasses that of many adventurer teams."
Miss Scout still remembered her responsibility to lure the enemy.
She knew it very well.
Under the command of the goblin shaman, secretly killing ordinary goblins will not cause the goblins to launch a major pursuit; at least they will first understand the current situation.
"The best way to attract hatred is... to attack that goblin shaman!"
Miss Scout was calculating the distance between herself and the goblin shaman.
This exceeds the range of a scout's shortbow direct shot.
"That means we can only use a projectile launcher!"
Doros focused intently, nocked an arrow, and said, "Although the chances of hitting the goblin shaman are slim, the elite goblins protecting him are a large target, so the probability of them being hit is not small! In any case, the goblin shaman must realize that he is in mortal danger, so it makes sense for him to send people to hunt me down."
swoosh~
The heavy arrow flew diagonally upwards into the air.
Before the arrows even fell, the scout girl confidently jumped down from the tree and ran towards the designated southern valley.
She was very confident in her archery skills.
She had carefully scouted the evacuation route before the attack, planning the fastest way. Every tree, every vine, and every stone became a source of leverage for her movement.
rear.
The goblin shaman's eyes were icy cold.
In front of it, an elite goblin was clutching its arm and screaming in pain.
If it weren't for the tall goblin blocking the way, the arrow falling from the sky would have landed on its head.
It is a noble spellcaster, but an arrow can also take its life.
"The arrows came from outside the village."
The goblin shaman made this judgment: "Wolf Tooth, Leopard Eye, each of you take fifty men and kill that attacker. Those despicable fellows only dare to ambush us when we are resting, which proves that those attackers are not as strong as us."
Miss Scout noticed that goblins were flanking her from both directions. She dared not attack the pursuing goblins to distract them and ran as fast as she could.
"The goblins have already split up their forces?"
Misfield observed the battlefield from his vantage point.
With a simple act of harassment, the hundred-plus goblins split into two groups. Moreover, the two groups of goblins were roughly equal in number, with one group having a slightly larger number and the other having an extra spellcaster.
After this separation, the goblins the three faced were about the same strength as those described in the mission.
Although it is difficult, there is a good chance of completing this task.
The priestess couldn't help but sigh, "Goblin shamans have some cleverness, but absolutely no combat wisdom."
"Goblin shamans don't have many choices to begin with," Loki said calmly.
"Either launch a full-scale attack, but if the enemy chooses to avoid battle, such a large-scale attack will waste a lot of energy, and if it happens a few more times, they will run out of resources; or hold onto the camps, but if the enemy harasses them a few more times, they will not be able to rest properly."
"Although splitting up forces is foolish, forcing it to make such a stupid decision puts it at a fatal disadvantage in terms of information."
A small number of goblins choose to live in caves, an environment best suited to their small size. Humans entering such caves would have their fighting ability significantly limited.
If adventurers enter goblin caves carelessly, they are very likely to fall into the hands of goblins in a shameful way.
However, as the number of goblins increased and cave space became insufficient, they had to establish their own villages. This large goblin tribe, in turn, developed many weaknesses.
After all, their construction capabilities cannot compare to those of humans.
Using tactics to maneuver goblins becomes extremely easy.
"Since the enemy is right in front of us, let's just eat him up without hesitation."
Luo Qi assigned tasks: "I'll go to the left, you go to the right. Take out those two big ones first."
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters...
The goblins were getting closer and closer to the ambush site.
The priestess's prayer had begun, and the arrow, glowing with the light of the silver moon, was aimed directly at one of the goblins.
the other side.
The twelve ministers within the Emperor's Banner are attached to arrows, locking onto another goblin.
Whizzing……
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
The two elite goblins sensed the danger, but they didn't have time to react.
The Moonlight Arrow struck one of them in the chest, shattering half of the goblin's chest and reducing its heart to dust.
The Soul Arrow struck another goblin in the forehead, obliterating its entire head and stealing its soul.
