Knight with Wand
Chapter 8: King of the Forest
"Crack!~Crack!" The wild goblins waved their crude weapons and screamed as they pounced on the prey in the camp.
I click your mother——!
Looking at these small fish monsters that looked like goblins, Leon lost his fear after experiencing the initial surprise. He took a steady step forward, raised his arms and stabbed the three prongs of the pitchfork at the nearest enemy.
The leading wild goblin quickly dodged and raised his arms. The rusty broken knife firmly held Leon's thrust, but he was pushed and staggered. The other two wild goblins took the opportunity to swing their weapons from both sides of the pitchfork and went straight towards Leon. Body.
Unlike the wild beasts they face while hunting, these creatures possess savage intelligence and are able to understand the power of weapons and parry them in response.
However, when the attack was blocked, Leon did not panic. The formation in front of him was barely within the range of the spear skills he had learned in his previous life. Especially when facing these short creatures, he had an absolute advantage in size and wingspan. .
Quickly retreating and retracting his pole to get out of position, he twisted around and pulled out the held pitchfork, and quickly stabbed the pitchfork diagonally, knocking the careless wild goblin fork on the left, who was only focused on attacking, to the ground.
The sharply polished iron tip penetrated directly into the eye socket of the wild goblin. It screamed that its eyeballs exploded and blood spattered. Without waiting for a second look, Leon immediately stabilized his body and raised the pole with both hands and swung horizontally. The passing pitchfork tip hit the center again. The approaching wild goblin was frightened away, and the pitchfork head continued to use its strength to knock down the slashing attack of another wild goblin on the right.
The siege was resolved without any danger. Leon seemed to feel the rapid surge of adrenaline in his nervousness. Before the three prongs of the pitchfork that shot down the attack had completely fallen, he pushed the tail pole again and provoked it fiercely.
——Poof.
The three-pronged fork plunged sharply into the unprotected abdomen of the wild goblin on the right. The little monster grabbed the pitchfork on its belly in pain. Leon roared and dragged the pitchfork hard, pushing its body towards those The wild goblins who were still rushing towards him pushed forward violently.
The seriously injured wild goblin was forced to knock over the kind behind him, rolling and howling while holding the three ferocious blood holes in his stomach.
Leon stopped when he saw that he was ready, and quickly took a few steps back to the bonfire to adjust his slightly messy breathing rhythm.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced to his side. Lohark, who was wearing chain mail, was slashing and stabbing at the side with a torch and an armed sword.
Between opening and closing, there were already four or five wild goblin corpses lying at Rohark's feet. Wearing chain mail and an iron helmet, he was not afraid of the crude weapons in the hands of his enemies. Everyone who dared to face him All the wild goblins could not take more than two moves under his sword before being chopped down to the ground.
Compared to Rohark's fierceness, Azerion was much more cautious. He never strayed far from Leon's side. Armed with a buckler and a pitchfork, he forced back several attacks from the left wing, steadily protecting his companions. 's flanks.
Rohark's eyes were red, and he seemed to be in high spirits. The enthusiasm of killing the enemies continuously made the young man unknowingly rush into the wild goblins and slash left and right. The chain armor on his body was soon stained red with blood.
Suddenly, a stone-bound locket was thrown from the darkness and swung towards Rohark's ankle. The stone counterweight of the locket swirled around the young man's leg. Rohark, who was unable to react, was suddenly pulled. Stumbled to the ground.
The wild goblins that had been lying in wait in the shadows for a long time began to exert their strength, trying to drag this most threatening armored target into the dark bushes.
Lohark, who was unbalanced and fell, immediately swung his sword to cut off the rope at his feet, but two wild goblins who had waited for the opportunity also jumped out of the darkness, and smashed his head and face with short spears and short knives.
"Get away!!" At the critical moment, Azarian, who was always observing his companions, had arrived without knowing it.
He held his shield and knocked away the wild goblins beside Lohark.
At this time, Leon also noticed that his companion was in danger. He no longer fought with the enemy in front of him. He waved the pitchfork in three and two steps to push back the enemy. He ran over and covered Rohark on the ground with Azarian and stood up.
"Go back and stay away from the grass." Leon shouted to the two of them to fight and retreat, and everyone returned to the campfire again, narrowly and narrowly saving the situation from being defeated one by one.
The shouts of killing that pierced the silence of the dense forest continued. In just ten minutes, the corpses of a dozen more wild goblins were filled around everyone.
These bloodthirsty wild goblins are not without cruelty. Fortunately, the three tortured youths are not vegetarians in either a real sense or a symbolic sense.
The smell of blood that filled the open space quickly calmed down the impulses of the surrounding wild goblins. They were wandering around the crowd and confronting the teenagers with roars, but they did not dare to come forward for a fight.
With an idea, Azarian picked up a wailing, yet-to-be-dead wild goblin on the ground with the tip of a pitchfork. Then, holding the shaft of the pitchfork between his arms, he raised the remains and showed hesitation to the surroundings. Wild goblins display their dying kin.
"Kaaaak! ~ Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) The wild goblins held their weapons high, seeming to be even more annoyed by Azerion's provocation and intimidation. Some impulsive individuals tried to move forward, but were stopped by the three Leons. Killed by iron forks and sharp swords.
Gradually, this continuous deterrence took effect, and the wild goblins showing signs of wavering and retreating.
Even if they are bloodthirsty by nature, they will still weigh the most basic gains and losses. The sneak attack was unsuccessful, and the short fight cost them considerable losses.
The leader of the wild goblins hiding in the dense forest looked at the "prey" wearing armor unwillingly. Even if they rushed forward at the risk of casualties, they still had a chance to kill the other party, but the cost seemed to be not worth it. If they continued to lose their tribesmen, they would not be able to survive in this dangerous forest.
After a long deliberation, it had to give up the tempting trophy.
A burst of cackles came from the woods. The wild goblins in the open space heard the order to retreat, and roared threateningly at Leon and the other two, and slowly retreated back into the dense forest.
Watching the figure of the wild goblins gradually retreat, after a few minutes, when there was no movement around, Leon and the other two were able to relax and breathe deeply.
It was the best result to make them retreat when they knew the difficulty.
Don't think that the three of them seemed to be killing all around when dealing with these little monsters. This is just the state of hormone stimulation in the body in a short period of time.
After all, they are mortals. If they really stand stalemate with these little monsters for a long time, they will be exhausted after fleeing for many days and will sooner or later be injured due to exhaustion, just like Lohak who was almost trapped just now.
"Don't let your guard down. Wild goblins are cunning by nature. We must be on guard against them coming back before dawn." Azerian reminded his companions not to take it lightly.
Everyone retreated to the campfire, while recovering their strength in alertness, and continued to stare at the darkness in the dense forest, waiting for dawn.
It was unknown how long it took in the torment. Just when the three people gradually became convinced that the wild goblins had completely gone away, Leon suddenly heard a faint sound of walking through the dense forest ahead.
".Did you hear anything?"
As soon as he finished asking, before waiting for his companions to answer, the movement became clearer and clearer.
Not only was there a sound of running through branches and grass, but there seemed to be the familiar screams of the wild goblins.
The wild goblins' screams in fear were getting closer and closer, and the ground was trembling faintly, until the wailing stopped with the loud sound of a tree being knocked down.
——Roar!!!
The roar that shook the mountains and forests was like a boulder hitting the water.
The faces of the three people turned pale.
Even if they didn't know what the thing that made the terrifying roar was, they knew that it was definitely not something they could deal with.
"Run! Throw away the obstacles, run!" Without a moment's explanation, Leon threw away the grass fork that was meaningless and could only be a burden in the face of such danger without hesitation, and picked up the torch next to the campfire with his free hand. The three of them took a step and ran away in the direction of the deafening roar.
At this time, they didn't have to worry about whether they would encounter other threats when running into the forest at night.
As early as the moment Leon heard this iconic roar, fear drove the original owner's memory to surge up like a spring. He was lucky to know what the roar represented.
It was the roar of a bear, but it was far from a bear beast in the general sense.
"What is that? A tiger? A bear?" Lohak couldn't help shouting.
"Don't ask, run! Don't stop for a moment!" Leon shouted to his companions to run for their lives.
His and Azerien's linen clothes were soon torn by the dense trees and bushes around them. When crossing the rugged mountains, even if they accidentally fell and were covered with scars, they would immediately climb up with pain.
Soon, the torch fell to nowhere. Leon panted in the dark and tried to confirm that his companions were still around. Without the light, they had to slow down until the trees around them gradually became sparse and the moonlight was seen, and everyone was able to speed up their escape again.
If it were an ordinary bear, although it was dangerous, it would not be impossible to retreat calmly with torches and weapons in hand, and it would not be so embarrassing.
But the giant beast with a deafening roar behind him had actually left the range of wild beasts. Even staying in its range for only one second would be an extremely dangerous and unwise move.
Dinosaurus.
It was a terrifying giant bear that was as big as an adult African elephant on Earth, and it was said that its skin was so thick that even steel swords could hardly hurt it. This rarely seen forest monster was even worshipped as a god by remote villagers. In memory, the original owner had only been lucky enough to witness it once from a distance with his father in the deep mountains far away from human habitation.
But even if it was just a single sighting from afar across the cliff, he would never forget that terrifying huge figure.
Not to mention the three fleeing teenagers who were scavenging along the way, even ordinary armies would not dare to challenge this real forest overlord.
Fortunately, as long as they could escape the range of the Dinosaurus as soon as possible
! Rumble~Bang~!
Leon listened to the sudden and clear sound of trees falling behind him, felt the ground shaking more and more rapidly under his feet, and felt cold all over his body in an instant.
What's going on? The Osprey is chasing them?
The Osprey is targeting the three of them?
Why?
Suddenly thinking of the wild goblins who had just suffered the same disaster, Leon got the answer.
——The smell of blood!
"Fuck!" He gritted his teeth and cursed. There was no doubt that the bloody smell of the large number of wild goblins they killed in the battle attracted this monster.
Was it for food? Or was it protecting its cubs?
None of this mattered. Listening to the increasingly shocking rumbling running behind him, Leon was sweating in his heart. The important thing was that their legs could not outrun the Osprey that was getting closer and closer.
What should they do?
How to get rid of this monster that was about to catch up
"There's a river ahead!" Lohak, who was running in the front, turned back and breathlessly reminded everyone: "Swim over or go around it! Uh!!" He was frightened by the huge and terrifying black shadow behind everyone, and his pupils trembled and he was speechless for a moment.
Turning his head, Lohak seemed to have stimulated his physical potential, and his legs were like the wind, speeding up his escape.
Leon followed Lohak's direction, and his eyes fixed. There was indeed a turbulent river reflecting the hazy moonlight in front of him, rushing and rushing to an unknown place.
"Jump into the river!" Leon shouted without thinking.
The river was very fast, but they had no time to hesitate.
They didn't even dare to look back to confirm how close the giant creature that was getting closer was to the three people at this moment. Everyone ran to the shore and jumped into the turbulent river one after another without stopping -
Bang!
Bang! ~Bang!
The three teenagers sank into the river, and in the blink of an eye, they were swept downstream by the rapids under the water.
Boom. Boom
The heavy running sound gradually stopped at the river bank.
Roar, roar, roar——!!!
The ferocious king of the forest roared at the river surface, shaking the forest.
The giant bear lowered its huge head. It could still smell the smell of the invaders who broke into its territory gradually fading away. The river water could not block its keen sense of smell.
But it slowly raised its head and looked far away at the distance where the river led. The giant bear instinctively took a few steps back.
The area at the end of this river would terrify even the king of the forest.
