Goblin Dependency-Chapter 248 - 135: Kill Through

"Swoosh!"

The iron-grey sword light flashed across the air.

Accompanied by sharp, agonized wails was the sluggish sound of metal piercing through flesh.

Scarlet bloody water, mixed with cold raindrops, flowed down the surface of the sword, seeping into the soil and staining the emerald meadow a reddish-brown.

Xia Nan braced his right foot against the wooden railing in front, pulling the Beheading Longsword from the gap between the fences.

The hot breath left from the body condensed into water vapor in the air, while the black bangs on his forehead were already drenched by the rain.

The villagers of Cui Xi Village, although affected by the Red maned Jackal Wolfman’s "Taunt", no longer fled and returned to the village to fight.

But beyond that, their sanity was not affected.

Instead, their fighting spirit was aroused, their minds were clear, and they appeared even braver.

Facing the goblin attack, under Adeline and the village chief’s command in the battle, they completed a simple defensive setup very quickly:

---The prepared barbed hardwood fences were pushed by the villagers to the edge of the trenches outside the village.

The special geographical location near Mist Forest provided Cui Xi Village with relevant benefits, but also frequently required them to face the ferocious demons that ventured out from the forest in search of food.

Low-level demons like goblins accounted for the majority among them.

Under such circumstances, they also summarized and developed a simple response method, preparing relevant defensive facilities.

Digging a trench facing the forest side of the village, with sharpened stakes pre-inserted at the bottom.

Without Elite individuals like "Earth Goblins" leading, small groups of goblin communities within twenty individuals found it difficult to break through the defenses with their own strength.

However, the wave-like influx of goblins now has clearly exceeded the scope of "small groups."

They didn’t even need to bypass from the side, within just ten minutes, they easily filled the trench, painstakingly dug by villagers over months amid busy farming.

Roaring, they continuously attacked the fences.

"Hold the line! Don’t retreat!"

"Our wives and children are behind us."

"Don’t let a single green-skinned bastard in!"

The hunched, emaciated elderly village chief fearlessly stood at the front line, and his aged yet powerful voice for encouragement had never stopped since the battle began.

And those elderly women and children who should have been hiding in the cellar or evacuated emergency, under the control of "Taunt," also carried items, transmitted messages, doing whatever they could behind the battle line.

"Swoosh!"

Yet another two goblins were pierced through the chest by iron-grey Longswords thrust from the fence.

Convulsing as they fell to the ground, not yet completely dead, they were trampled underfoot by goblins that quickly replaced them from behind.

There were too many, Xia Nan didn’t even need to aim deliberately, simply thrusting the Longsword continuously resulted in goblins falling one by one.

Honestly, this wasn’t suitable for him, who possessed [Vortex Slash] and [Teeth Hunting], and whose style was suited to high-mobility combat.

But considering the civilians needing protection behind, this was the simplest and most effective defense method.

Some villagers held onto the fence that was shaking under the goblin assault, while others used weapons like grass forks and wooden axes through the gaps in the fence to attack the enemy.

And several adventurers, under the command of team leader Adeline, spread across the front line, each contributing their efforts.

Abi, with his Wooden Shield strapped to his back, had his One Handed Sword tied back to his waist—the length was too short, exhausting and more dangerous.

At this moment, he was gripping a grass fork borrowed from the villagers in both hands, aggressively stabbing at the goblins.

His armor, already filthy after many days of adventure in Mist Forest, was now splattered with the enemy’s blood.

Adeline, with rich combat experience against goblins, moved around the front lines, plugging defenses gaps and occasionally supporting villagers whose strength was exhausted, allowing them time to rotate.

In contrast, veteran adventurer Berg, facing the massive oncoming goblins, finally stopped attempting to break free from the "Taunt" control.

Instead, he climbed onto the roof of a nearby one-story house, using the advantage from the height difference to rain arrows down on the goblins.

However, the thick unease and anxiety still visible on his face clearly showed he had not returned to normal.

For now, the impact is temporarily not significant.

After all, there were too many goblins, and they were all gathered together.

Even if there was a lack of accuracy, simply shooting an arrow randomly into the pile of green skins often hit a target.
