Chapter 647: Chapter 647

"Why are there so many goblins?" Du You got a clear view of what was happening.

On the ground, a vast number of goblins poured out from the forest like a wave, all types of goblins Du You had seen before and even some he hadn’t were all rushing out. Fınd the newest release on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

Among them were adults, elderly, and even children. Some had professions, others did not. These goblins were generally from level 2 to 4, but what was overwhelming was the sheer number of them.

Their numbers were vast - like waves charging forth. Just from what he could see, there were at least thousands of them, and adding the dead bodies on the ground and those that kept rushing out, who knew how many there were in total.

Even with Luo Jia commanding a large number of second-tier experts, they could only back off defensively, otherwise they would be swarmed.

In such numbers, these goblins would fearlessly rush forward, as if they were mad.

The Shadow Shooters all drew their short swords, attacking the simple city wall with their blades, none of them using their bows and arrows. It would just be a waste to deal with these goblins using arrows. Once shot, it’s basically impossible to retrieve them. But due to the level difference, using short swords against these goblins was still quite easy.

However, this city wall wasn’t too high, and the bodies of the goblins were starting to pile up.

At this moment, Luo Jia was standing on a high platform in the middle. The area below seemed like a simple military camp, only with an additional wooden wall. The Griffin Knights lacked a large-scale combat method, they could only swoop down from the air to attack stronger ones.

The appearance of flying magical beasts is what they most looked forward to. If this goes on, they will just have to find a way to break through in the end, otherwise they won’t be able to keep up with their physical strength.

Even the second-tier beings have their limits and cannot fight indefinitely.

And for those who were only at first-tier, it was even harder now. Even though they could crush most of the goblins with their level, every kill consumed a significant amount of their physical strength, and even Dou Qi.

If the fight goes on for too long, their physical strength won’t be able to keep up, and they will also be swamped by these goblins.

In the air, Du You quickly released several Dark Swamps towards the ground. Large areas of the black swamp spread out, instantly splitting the goblins, and the incoming goblins could only be swallowed by the swamp.

Du You landed in the camp with both sisters. Seeing them, Luo Jia quickly descended from the high platform.

"Lord, why have you come in person?" Luo Jia appeared relieved. The previous situation was too dire. Even with the soldiers he had brought with him, he didn’t think he could take them all with him.

In the end, the Griffin Knights could only carry a portion away. Most of the rest would have to be left behind. As the commander, Luo Jia was understandably upset at the prospect of losing so many soldiers in such a place.

"We were passing by and received a new task from South Mountain City. What’s going on here? Why are there so many goblins coming out?"

A bitter smile appeared on Luo Jia’s face. "What else could it be? We have been too oppressive before. Now, people from both sides of the forest are continuously putting pressure on the goblins, making their lives almost unbearable. In order to break through, the goblins can only unite. As you know, these goblins don’t have much of a plan. As long as the chieftain agrees, they can unite."

Du You nodded in understanding. Indeed, these goblins were . Just by looking at their disorganized state, one could see that they didn’t have a unified command system.

Even the magic-class goblins were mixed within these usurpers without any sign of organization.

"Then why are they only attacking us?" Du You was even more confused.

"They’re not only attacking us. We just received word that it’s the same in several other places. There are five relatively easy exits from the forest on our side, and there are now large numbers of goblins rushing out from all of them. South Mountain City has just issued orders to increase defensive troops. If we can withstand this wave, there won’t be many goblins left in the forest."

"In my estimation, it’s not just our side that the goblins are rushing towards, it’s probably the same in the Kingdom of Hanhai. After this wave, we’re likely to face direct confrontation with the Kingdom of Hanhai."

He wasn’t sure what the situation was like in the Kingdom of Hanhai or how crazy their people could be, but a direct confrontation would have both benefits and drawbacks for him.

"Master, we have plenty of time anyway. Why don’t we solve this problem here first? We have very few people on our side. If we don’t stay, we’ll have to ask for help from others. In that case, we won’t get much credit," Lin Yushi suggested.

Lin Yucha added, "Yes, yes, although merit isn’t of great use to us, it can help us avoid a lot of trouble. Expanding our influence is beneficial to the development of our territory, isn’t it?"

That was a good point. Du You nodded. Expanding influence and external conquests were both ways to speed up territory development. After this fight, perhaps his territory could meet the upgrade requirements without waiting for three days.

"Alright, then let’s fight. I don’t believe there can be that many goblins."

Du You turned his head to look back. The goblins were truly crazy. Although they were separated by the swamp, the goblins didn’t back off. They were continuously transporting stones from the ground and chopping down trees on the spot. The destructive force was simply insane.

Many wooden pieces and stones were transported and thrown into the swamp. His Dark Swamp had a strong corrosive ability, but its capacity was limited. The large number of stones and woods thrown into it gradually filled it up. Du You could indeed continue to release more Dark Swamp, but the cost-effectiveness wouldn’t be high.

If the goblins found out that this way was blocked, they would probably retreat, and that would be even more troublesome.

Du You nodded to the two sisters and released all his summoned beasts.

Lin Yucha released the Platform Floating Cloud, and the two sisters stood on it. Lin Yucha didn’t have any large-scale attacking methods, so she didn’t intend to attack. But Lin Yushi kept using Explosive Scattering, blasting large areas each time.

It was somewhat wasteful to use her major spell to kill low-level goblins. Eventually, Lin Yushi also stopped.

For Du You, it was much simpler, he directly released his newly learned Resentful Souls Domain. The surroundings suddenly became eerie, and the air seemed to be filled with a strange mist.

If one had strong spiritual power, they would be able to tell that these were actually ghostly creatures appearing one after another.
