Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 46: Camp Battle
Although because of Donna's mission, Levi wanted to go directly to the Rocky Highlands without wasting even a minute.
However, it was not his character to give up halfway, and Donna agreed to continue, so he finally endured it temporarily. At this time, the hobgoblins had already made new moves.
The goblin wolf riders were galloping back and forth, shouting loudly and giving orders to the goblins, Skaven and other servants. It was obvious that they were about to launch a formal attack, and these goblins were just cannon fodder.
At the same time, the wolves followed behind them, baring their teeth and threatening the goblins, so although they looked reluctant, the servants still began to move forward reluctantly.
Since there was a considerable area of trees and grass around the camp that had been cleared, the visibility around was relatively clear, and the dog-headed people soon discovered this group of malicious aliens.
Following a series of dog barkings, the dog-headed people who were originally busy in the camp gathered at the gate of the camp with all kinds of crude weapons, obviously intending to put up a strong fight.
Many ogres also picked up their slings, swung their arms, and launched wave after wave of stone attacks. Although the power was not very great, the momentum was still good.
Seeing this, the hobgoblin commander no longer hesitated and directly issued the order for a general attack. At the same time, with his shout, the hobgoblins gathered more densely, dozens of shields were raised, and they directly ignored all the stones.
At the same time, the shouts of the wolf riders became louder and louder, and they even waved their weapons threateningly at the cannon fodder, and many coyotes let out long howls.
Under their joint threat, although many of the slaves were reluctant, they had no choice but to launch an attack together with the earth elves.
The hobgoblins attacked the widest but most strongly defended entrance, while their servants rushed in from all directions.
The hobgoblins protected themselves with shields and killed the enemies with spears. Some used archers to snipe the ogres who climbed up the watchtowers. They cooperated with each other very well and soon attacked the gate of the camp.
With a loud "bang", the battering rams carried by several super-giant ants slammed heavily, and then the entire camp gate shook violently. More than a dozen dog-headed men were immediately blown away and fell to the ground, their lives unknown.
The hobgoblins cheered instantly, while the gnolls tucked their tails between their legs and barked softly, obviously their morale was affected.
Levi, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but be a little surprised, not only because of the way the earth elves used slaves, not only because of the power of the battering ram, but also because their infantry phalanx was really effective.
If all members of the hobgoblin squad in the wild hold shields, given that their squad currently relies on bows and arrows as their main output, they would be very uncomfortable encountering this kind of shield formation. It is too restraining. It seems that I still need to improve the structure of the troops.
However, is the difference between the fighting methods of wild monsters and regular troops? No wonder the hobgoblins are lawful evil.
The fierce battle continued. Although the ogres were numerous and occupied advantageous terrain, the earth elves were well-trained and cooperated well. Their average strength was much stronger, and they had more slaves acting as cannon fodder. So soon the gate of the ogrell camp became shaky.
Levi, who was watching not far away, sighed. Really, the earth elves really found a good opportunity.
They are already quite intelligent, have sufficient fighting skills, and can tame servants of other races. If they are allowed to occupy this camp and the most likely God-given building quarry in it, their strength will surely expand further, and the harm they will cause in the future may even be greater than that of the jackals in the Rocky Highlands.
But on second thought, Levi felt that this might not be entirely a bad thing. At least for a God-chosen hero like himself, this might even be a good thing.
Because only when the water is muddy will it be easier to fish. Once the hobgoblins become a threat, will the nearby high elves or other races also release a new regional quest like this time?
At this moment, Donna suddenly grabbed Levi's arm with a little excitement: "Levi, look over there!"
In fact, Levi also noticed the target without Donna's reminder, the special ogre whom he had seen before but did not appear at the first time when the war just broke out - the ogre wizard!
"Woof, you damned hobgoblins, try my fireball, woof woof!"
With an extremely sharp dog barking, a red fireball appeared in the hands of the kobold wizard, and then as it moved, it flew straight towards the hobgoblins. As it flew, its body quickly expanded in the air.
The earth goblin commander, who was originally very excited and thought that this revenge operation would be successful, suddenly changed his expression. However, he had no time to react at all because the blazing fireball was already in front of him!
With a loud bang, the earth elves were blown away on the spot. The blazing flames instantly swept across dozens of square meters, turning the place into a sea of fire.
The camp gate, which was already in ruins, was blown into pieces, and along with it, nearly twenty earth elf soldiers were turned into pieces.
They originally gathered together to better defend against the hurling stones of the ogres, but now the dense formation has become a death spell for them.
Although they were wearing armor and holding shields and looked well-equipped, these things did not provide any effective protection against magic, and they all died when hit head-on by the fireball.
The earth elves that were affected in the surrounding areas were also seriously injured, and the giant ants and battering rams that were originally well protected in the middle were all turned into fragments on the ground.
The goblins and other servants who only knew how to fight when the wind was in their favor, although not affected much by this magic, their movements stopped instantly. They were obviously frightened, and many of the guys who fell behind started to run away directly.
Levi and Donna looked at each other in the distance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This time Levi didn't have so many negative emotions, because he knew that if the hobgoblins had not tried out the kobold wizard's trump card, but waited until he and his group went to fight him, this magic alone would be enough to cause him heavy losses, and he would almost certainly be killed instantly.
Such power is probably not an ordinary level 2 magic, it must be at least level 3 or even higher, right?
Donna was also having a headache: "Levi, as a level 3 magic, Fireball shouldn't be so powerful. Either the Kobold wizard is very powerful and has many related specialties, or he has some special treasure on him."
She is a hero, but facing an enemy who can use such a powerful fireball, she is not confident that she can escape unscathed. After all, the flying speed of the fireball is faster than her movement speed. If she is hit head-on, she will be seriously injured.
At this time, the hobgoblin commander who had been particularly concerned by Levi was not dead. He struggled to stand up from the bodies of his companions, but before he could give any orders, the ogre wizard had once again summoned a blazing fireball with a wicked grin.
"Woof, try my flaming orb again!"
Although equally blazing, this time the fireball did not fly in the air, but rolled along the ground, and the speed was not particularly fast.
Of course, this is compared with the fireball spell just now. In fact, it can still catch up with those seriously injured earth elves relatively easily and turn them into burning torches.
The hobgoblin commander who had just tried to reorganize his troops was burned to charcoal, and the entire entrance to the camp .
But that’s not all. The sharp-eyed Donna saw the kobold wizard take out an amber amulet with a bug sealed in the middle.
After reciting a few spells, a giant insect more than two meters long, more than one meter wide, with a big belly appeared in front of the kobold wizard.
Following its command, the big bug opened its mouth and spit out a mist, covering the three or four earth elves that had not yet died. Those earth elves immediately screamed, and extremely terrible changes appeared on their skin, as if they were corroded or even melted.
Then the kobold wizard shook his staff, summoned fist-sized energy balls, and fired accurately at the surviving earth elves.
Once the energy sphere lands, the hit hobgoblins will make extremely miserable cries just like their companions attacked by the giant bugs, but the attack they suffer is more intense, and even their leather armor will be melted.
The goblins and their servants, whose morale was already low, simply chose to flee. Even the goblin wolf cavalrymen who had served as military supervisors did not care about them and also chose to flee.
The hidden attribute of morale is basically not reflected in Levi's team, but it will be particularly obvious in the goblins, because they will really choose to escape when the battle situation is unfavorable!
This made Levi feel a little emotional. The earth elves were well prepared, came with great momentum, and had the upper hand at one point. However, when the kobold wizard appeared, they turned victory into defeat in an instant, and the defeat was without any suspense.
The power displayed by this ogre wizard is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers!
At this time, the Kobold Wizard laughed twice: "Woof, you foolish hobgoblins, you actually dare to challenge the great Doug Bone Eater, Woof woof, it's so pathetic, little ones, chase them, Woof woof!"
