◈ 374. [STAGE 15] One-way
[Goddess Blessing].
A defensive buff that the human side can use as a concept in response to the [Dark Event] on the monster side.
After considering several options, I finally came up with two options.
– Goddess Blessing: Invincible Wall
> The wall is not destroyed during this battle.
– Goddess Blessing: One-way
> During this battle, the enemy attacks only through the southern wall.
There were many buffs that were more direct in battle, but the enemy commander was the enemy commander. I struggled with these two for a tactical counter.
In the game, the Goblin Legion’s main siege method was demolishing walls using suicide bombers.
That’s why I had the ‘invincible wall’ in mind at first. It was to make it difficult for the enemy to siege itself.
However, as the Goblin Legion marched forward, he felt that he was being tactically pushed back by the enemy commander, so he leaned toward ‘one way’.
I already suffered a lot of damage from the Werewolf army’s detour maneuver in the last stage 10.
The Goblin God King, who has destroyed numerous human walls with strategic tactics, must have used much more complicated tactics.
They must have secured siege means other than suicide bombers.
And to be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to respond to his wider tactics than I was.
If so, let’s rather limit the battlefield.
Concentrate our forces on the southern wall to crush them.
So, I activated [Goddess Blessing: One-Way] the day before the start of the defense battle.
[The goddess blesses your battlefield… … .]
[The enemy attacks only through the southern wall during this battle.]
Our battlefield is limited to the southern wall.
‘Fight well, my heroes. My soldiers.’
Command of the outer front was entrusted to Lucas. I gave instructions to everyone with tactics.
The battle of the wall had no choice but to trust and entrust it. What I need to do right now is… … .
Chaeeng!
Tsukak-!
Defeat the goblin god king in front of you as quickly as possible!
Despite the siege and onslaught of four of my captors, Carly-Alexandre was holding on without difficulty, brandishing her sword.
I also grabbed the dagger in my hand and jumped into the mayhem of the metal.
A low laugh erupted from Carly-Alexandre’s mask as I joined. I gritted my teeth and thrust out the dagger.
As this world has always been… … .
have to kill
to survive.
***
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa through the snow
!
Kirik Kiririk-!
The goblin army pours out a scream.
“Prepare for battle-!”
Lucas, who drew his sword, repeated the order. The soldiers stood in front of their projectiles and loaded their ammunition.
As Ash said, the waves of greenskins did not make any roundabout maneuvers. I honestly pushed straight ahead.
That’s why I was out of breath.
25,000 creatures were flocking towards the wall, not caring about the safety of their own lives.
There was a different pressure compared to when I saw the same scene at the forward base.
At that time, the walls were lower and the troops were smaller, but there was a way to escape.
But now, this is also Bae Soo-jin.
This wall is the last line of defense. If this place is breached, the goblins will advance north, gather their own people, and recreate the ‘Goblin Invasion’ of hundreds of years ago.
‘I’m going to turn around.’
Each time, it was a defense battle with the fate of the public, but this time there was a decisive difference from the previous one. Lucas clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘They can’t come in at a glance.’
many.
Too many.
As many of them spread out and poured widely, it overflowed because it could not fill the field of view.
I had to turn my head left and right to see the full size of them.
Kwakwang! Quagmire!
The line of goblins rushing in was caught in a minefield and exploded. In an instant, the lives of over a hundred goblins were lost.
But it didn’t even show.
It felt like scooping a handful of water from the beach. The huge waves were still crashing and foaming.
Kyaaaaaa-!
After easily jumping over the shattered bodies of compatriots, the next line of goblins rushed. Lucas shouted as they got within firing range.
“Fire-! Each one sees only the direction he is assigned and shoots-!”
pop! Beep-!
Patter!
In the meantime, the cannons and ballistas that had firmly guarded the walls of the Crossroads fired their own bullets.
The central gunners focused on intercepting the goblins gathered around the gray fortress, while the right and left gunners aimed and shot the goblins flocking in front of their respective walls.
After crossing the minefield, the goblins reached the kill zone.
It was a place where wooden fences were arranged in a messy twist, effectively obstructing the path of monsters.
The first group of goblins who had come this far were exhausted and fell to their deaths. The problem was the binary that came in after that.
pop-!
Kwakwawang!
The 2nd was a goblin suicide bomber.
They slammed their bodies into the wooden fence without hesitation.
Originally, it was a place where the monsters would slow down causing bottlenecks and fall under friendly fire.
However, the barricade was shattered, set on fire, and collapsed due to the successive explosions of the goblin suicide bombers.
“These crazy people… .”
Lucas groaned, bewildered.
The suicide bombers either got caught up in each other’s explosions or killed other goblins in the back row.
However, the goal was achieved nonetheless.
By the time the binary was all burned to death in the explosion I caused, the killzone was neutralized.
Three lines of goblins broke through the battlefield of crossfire, which normally would have taken a long time.
All right! All right! All right!
The third was the cavalry.
The goblins mounted on mountain goats ran across the battlefield at lightning speed.
What role could cavalry play in fighting for the walls?
What is the meaning of rushing towards the fortress wall firmly guarded by the siege troops?
Unexpectedly, the goblin cavalry rushed madly toward the wall.
He jumped over the densely packed barricades at once and ran towards the castle wall, easily dodging the triggered mines.
The panicked gunners hastily changed their sights and aimed at the cavalry.
However, the goblin cavalry were much quicker than the regular goblins, and they took longer to aim and deal with.
By the time most of the cavalry had been annihilated by the fire from the top of the ramparts, the sights of the cannons and ballistas had already been messed up.
And the last cavalryman who finally broke through the fire and reached the castle wall-
Peruk!
I slammed my body into the wall.
The goat and goblin, whose entire bodies were crushed, collapsed to the ground.
The perplexed human soldiers moved the cannon and the ballista’s line of sight again.
The cavalry charge was reckless but effective.
There was a hole in the cannon and ballista’s net, and the goblin troops continued to rush through the thinned net without much damage.
After that, 4 goblins came running. This time it was a shield soldier.
No, does the distinction between 4 and 5 make sense?
Lucas, a little dizzy, closed his eyes for a moment.
How many camps are the goblins lurking behind?
It seemed as if the water was pouring far beyond what the dam could accommodate.
They took the lead, but the main force, which had already been driven, was approaching just in front of the wall.
“Prepare the artifact-!”
Lucas commanded.
Lily, who should normally be in charge of Artifact, was not there. Instead, the head of the Alchemist Guild hurriedly received the order.
Lucas, grinning at this, shouted, stretching his arms forward.
“Activate the slowing force field artifact! Then, activate all Ice Field Artifacts!”
Wide Area Slow and Wide Area Freezing Artifacts were triggered in succession.
The snow piled up under the slow goblins’ feet and froze coldly.
Extremely mobile, the goblin legion was suddenly bottlenecked, and shells and arrows fell over their heads.
However, Jin 4 was a shield soldier. They raised their shields large enough to cover their entire bodies and slowly resumed their march, protecting their allies in the back row.
“Junior-!”
When Lucas shouted, Junior, who was preparing magic with other wizard party members, threw the juice cup he was drinking out of the wall.
“Let’s go guys!”
“yes! sister!”
“yes! sister!”
The attributes of the young wizards are fire, wind, water and earth, respectively.
Among them, the fire magician spread the flames as widely as possible first. Then the frozen ground melted away.
“Huh-!”
And the remaining four wizards, including Junior, sprinkled their own magic. Junior also used wind and water attributes.
Shoot Aaaaa!
A stream of water falls from the sky with a strong wind, and
Kwajik! Quadduk!
The soil of the ground cracked and accepted the stream.
The ground that had been frozen a moment ago instantly turned into a muddy swamp.
The head of the bogged goblin soldiers was immobilized.
bang!
Kwajik!
No matter how much I was a shield soldier, I couldn’t handle the continuous bombardment. In the end, the 4 goblins also gradually collapsed and were eventually annihilated.
However, the entire force advanced just as much.
The corpses of goblin shield soldiers were lined up on the wide swamp formed by magic.
The goblins in the back row stepped on the corpse as a stepping stone and advanced.
The 5th camp consisted of a mix of shields and archers. Protected by the shield soldiers, the goblin archers fired arrows at the walls.
Took!
Dududuk!
It was a terrible shot, but in the meantime, the attacks of the guys who couldn’t even reach it were definitely reaching the top of the castle wall.
Lucas gnashed his teeth as he looked down at the goblin arrows that had come and stuck at his feet.
‘… It’s clear that these guys are running indiscriminately.’
The commander-in-chief, the Goblin God King, is trapped with Ash.
I’m sure they’re just charging forward without being commanded by the God King.
‘why… Isn’t the type of soldier that’s exactly right for the war situation always in front of me?’
As if everything had been calculated and arranged so that all you had to do was run in turn… .
‘no!’
Even if the Goblin God King predicted everything and deployed his troops.
Commanding the troops must be the officers remaining on the field.
If that’s the case, if you just get rid of the officers, their chain of command will collapse and eventually they won’t be able to charge as efficiently as they do now.
“Damian!”
Lucas shouted.
“We must snipe the officers’ troops! you know?”
“yes!”
Damian had been shooting snipers at the officers caught in his eyes from a long time ago.
Amir and Janissary, who wore colorful armor, all fell to his sniping, spraying blood.
As the goblin corps itself got closer, the other snipers belonging to Damian’s party began to shoot mainly the officers.
Taang-!
Damian, who knocked down one of the goblin Amirs with a sniping shot, noticed something was wrong.
“… There Lucas.”
In private, the two became quite close, but now they are in a defensive battle. Besides, Lucas was serving as acting commander.
So Damian called Lucas by his honorific title.
Lucas winked at him as if to tell him to speak, and Damian muttered in disbelief as if he didn’t quite understand the current situation.
“Goblin General… So, wasn’t there a total of 10 Goblin Amir?”
“okay. The lord confirmed it this morning.”
“An entity with a unique pattern engraved on its face and wearing high-quality armor… Right.”
“No doubt.”
“… .”
“What is it? Hurry up and report it.”
Damian responded slowly to Lucas’ urging.
“… I just shot the tenth goblin, Amir.”
“what? Did you finish everything?”
“Yes. I thought so… .”
Damian pointed his hand across the battlefield.
“There is another one.”
“what?”
“There, and there, and there… .”
Goblin officers with unique patterns painted on their faces and wearing high-quality armor.
“There are dozens more.”
“… .”
“As the prince said, if there are ten goblin Amir in total… .”
Damian muttered with a pale face.
“They… What is it?”
