Goblin Dependency-Chapter 249 - 135 Kill Through_2

A streak of two, even three, was not uncommon.

As for Xia Nan...

The Beheading Longsword already had the advantage of length, and when used to stab instead of slash, its sharpness and sturdiness were more than enough to handle these fragile lower-level Demons.

Coupled with his enhanced physical endurance, he basically didn’t need to rest and could sustain continuous combat for a long time.

The efficiency of one person was almost equivalent to that of four or five ordinary villagers.

This made the line of defense he was responsible for almost the most stable side of the entire battlefield.

Just like that, the adventurers and villagers divided their labor and worked together, and for a time, they managed to withstand the siege of over a hundred goblins.

If things continued like this, it was foreseeable that in dozens of minutes, the battle would end with a human victory.

But even so, neither Adeline nor Xia Nan had any relaxed expressions on their faces; instead, they looked serious and cautious.

Because they both knew that the real danger... had yet to arrive.

"Huff..."

Breathing heavily, Xia Nan gripped the sword hilt, turning his wrist vigorously to extract the Longsword stuck in the bone seam.

His gaze involuntarily looked into the distance.

The Bear Goblin with its red mane was carrying its pale bone rod with holes, watching them from afar.

Standing in place, like a supervising military officer overseeing the battle.

For some reason, after it had used a taunt skill on the crowd earlier, successfully trapping the Green Blood Team and the villagers, making escape impossible.

The Bear Goblin did not advance further to initiate an attack.

It just watched as the goblins died one by one.

Even if it slightly commanded the goblins to charge the weaker parts of the barricade or personally joined the fray, it could instantly destroy the defense line.

Yet, it just stood quietly in place.

As if waiting for something.

Xia Nan naturally wouldn’t naively think that these cruel Demons, who regard other intelligent creatures as livestock, would kindly spare them.

It’s like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead.

Since the Bear Goblin remained inactive, all he could do was secretly strengthen his vigilance and stay alert to the development of events.

The only good news.

Is that Cui Xi Village is not too far from River Valley Town, just half a day’s journey if you hurry, and adventurers often pass by.

They only need to hold out for a little longer, perhaps not too long, just a few hours, and maybe...

"Boom!"

A sound of collapse suddenly reached his ears.

Xia Nan’s heart sank instantly.

His gaze followed the direction of the sound and saw flying dust, villagers fallen to the ground, and... Green-skinned Goblins rushing into the village from the collapsed barricade.

...

"Bang!"

A dirty black-brown wooden stick smashed down fiercely, causing the man on the other side of the fence, who was supporting it with both hands to keep it from collapsing, to shudder.

His trouser legs were stained with mud and grass clippings, and his patchwork simple clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Blood continuously trickled down from a gash on his brow, covering half of his face—that was from a wound caused by a goblin’s stick while helping other villagers relocate.

The muscles in his forearm were sending waves of soreness, and the intense and rapid breathing made his throat dry and sore.

But Jim had no thought of giving up.

Not only because of the mental revival sparked by the bloody sonic wave earlier, but also because his wife and daughter were behind him, helping to search for weapons from each house.

If he retreated a step, it wouldn’t be just his own death, but also of his entire family and the whole village.

And the scenes he heard adventurers describe about the horrors found in the goblin nest.

Made his resolve even stronger.

It’s just that... humans, after all, have limits.

Jim himself, perhaps fortunate to have exchanged three silver coins at the Association for a goblin he encountered on his way home a while ago, had enough to feed his family well for quite some time.

He was physically well-nourished.

But the other villagers weren’t as lucky.

Facing the goblins breaking through like tidal waves.

Even though they too had not the slightest thought of giving up, the limits of their bodies were still there.

Not just anyone could ignore or even break through these limits.

"Ahh... Ahh..."

The sound unconsciously squeezed out of his throat from exerting too much effort entered his ears.

Using all his strength against the fence, Jim’s peripheral vision swept towards his side.

Uncle Evan, the honest man who lived next door.

In his forties, with nothing noteworthy his entire life.

Just working in the fields, watering and eating.

He seemed to have been sick for a few days recently, and though not fully recovered, had bravely stepped forward.
