Chapter 162 Exhaustion
The latest chapter is packed with exciting plot twists! Come check it out!
"attack!"
At Li Moss's command, the goblins who had been preparing in front of the Baron's troops stepped forward from all directions.
The goblins rose from the bushes and emerged from behind the tree trunks, brandishing their weapons!
"Wow!"
"What are you babbling about!"
"For freedom! Kill!"
Non-warrior goblins and slaves also rushed down the slope!
The rain of stones and javelins flew over their heads, aimed directly at the soldiers below the slope!
"There are enemies!"
"ambush!"
"Run!"
"Follow up, Baron!"
The soldiers shouted in panic, while the two barons, carrying their giant shields, ran directly to the left!
Seeing that they didn't turn back, the soldiers quickly followed and fled.
Although the other side was just a slave.
Even though the other party was right in front of him.
But they weren't wearing armor!
In order to speed up the journey, the soldiers had long since taken off their armor and handed it to their horses to carry!
They only had spears and iron swords in their hands!
The same applies to the two barons!
Besides their iron swords, all they carried were the giant shields on their backs!
He only wore the greaves that were inconvenient to remove, and even the greatsword was placed on the horse!
The two barons, carrying giant shields, ran fast thanks to their extraordinary strength, and even when bullets hit their backs, it didn't hurt.
But the soldiers couldn't do it!
They can't outrun the barrage of comments!
"what!"
"Don't push!"
Don't step on me!
As the barrage of bullets subsided, the soldiers let out cries of agony.
Some soldiers lost consciousness immediately after being hit by stones, while others fell and were trampled to death by their comrades after being hit by spears or stones. Soldiers near the horses were even kicked or trampled to death by the panicked horses.
Chaos reigned!
Dozens of lucky soldiers followed the two barons and rushed to the left, while a dozen or so soldiers whose retreat was blocked fled to the right. The soldiers who fell to the ground and the armored horses were pierced with a thousand transparent holes by the slaves who rushed down the slope!
Li Moss raised his left hand and pointed at the dozen or so soldiers.
"Kill the lone ones first!"
"Watch me!"
Zi Yi shot an arrow at the dozen or so soldiers.
"what!"
The last soldier in the squad was shot in the back by an arrow and froze.
The slaves immediately chased after him and stabbed him to pieces!
"Me too!"
Zi'an had just placed the saintess on the ground when he immediately nocked the arrow, released it, and completed the task in one swift motion.
The arrow flew more than sixty meters and pierced a soldier's chest with a large hole!
Zi Yi, holding a short hunting bow, gave orders to the goblins.
"Stop those humans! Don't let them get away!"
"Yes, Chief!"
The goblins didn't even bother to aim; they swung their weapons as soon as they loaded their ammunition.
This time, the barrage of comments was weak and crooked, but it successfully blocked the soldiers' path!
The slaves simply pierced these guys with spears!
Even if some soldiers could temporarily hold off the slaves, they would be finished off by goblins with spears wielding them from behind!
Seeing that all the dots on the [Leshan Water] map had disappeared, Li Mosi quickly announced.
"They're dead! Stop! Take a break!"
The slaves and goblins breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zi Yi's excitement hadn't subsided yet.
Finally, we have a chance to fight back!
The tribe had been harassed by these humans several times, and even though the ancestor had managed to win each time, it still made him unhappy.
He looked at Li Mosi: "Master, shall we not continue the pursuit?"
[Target distance: Approximately 700 meters]
"Don't rush. There are still 127 soldiers left."
Li Mosi waved to him, telling his disciple to rest assured.
"They have strayed from the path they came by. To avoid getting lost in the forest, they must return to the original path and follow the footprints."
"Let's rest for a bit, then we'll head to the next place."
As the saint thought about the two escaped barons, she suddenly realized that they had overlooked something.
She looked at Li Moss: "Craftsman, what about the knight who ran away first?"
Li Moss found it by zooming in and out of the map.
"That guy abandoned his armor and warriors and is almost back in his territory."
……
rustling sounds...
The two barons led their soldiers in a frantic run through the forest.
"Hoo, hoo, ha."
Seeing that the soldiers were about to run out of energy, they stopped.
Baron Stern looked behind him.
No movement?
Didn't those bastards catch up?
Baron Talis looked up at the sky.
The sun had already passed its highest point and was beginning to slant slightly westward.
Based on the slight changes in the sun, he quickly determined the location and pointed to the territory.
"Soldiers! We must return quickly! Keep moving forward! Don't let the sacrifice of our comrades be in vain!"
Baron Stern also figured out the direction.
He was somewhat puzzled: "That's the same route we came by. Aren't you afraid the heretics will ambush us again?"
"No more."
Baron Talis looked at Baron Stern with a determined gaze.
"The heretical warriors are nothing but goblins and young slaves! The next suitable ambush spot for them is ten thousand paces away! They can't outrun us!"
Hearing his words, the soldiers forced themselves to stay alert.
Goblins and slaves have short legs; as long as they are fast, they certainly won't be caught!
The procession continued onward.
Although they were rushing, they only ran the first part; for the latter part, Baron Taliss chose to lead his soldiers on a fast walk.
No one offered an explanation, and no one needed one.
Everyone knows it in their hearts.
The sun tilted a few degrees further.
The two barons and the soldiers finally saw the footprints they had left behind and the ramp that Baron Talis remembered.
Baron Talis stopped and raised his right hand to signal the soldiers to halt.
The footsteps stopped.
Baron Stern looked down and surveyed his surroundings.
rustle--
Upon hearing the sound, Baron Talis snatched a spear from a soldier behind him and threw it toward the source of the noise.
It's in the bushes on both sides of the slope!
"Aaaaaah!"
A sound like a baby crying rang out, and the group breathed a sigh of relief.
They recognized the voice; it was just a rabbit.
Baron Stern looked around and shook his head at Baron Taliss.
No extra footprints were found.
Baron Talis beckoned to the soldiers, signaling them to continue forward.
This time the slope is gentler.
Reaching the middle of the slope and looking at the top of the slope less than a hundred paces away, Baron Talis burst into laughter again.
Hahahaha!
The commotion startled the soldiers!
They really jumped up!
The soldiers were somewhat relieved when no other sounds came from the surroundings.
The soldier at the front carrying the rabbit couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what is this...?"
"Why is the adult laughing again?"
"Last time my laughter attracted goblins, this time..."
Baron Stern frowned and looked at Baron Taliss beside him, quietly distancing himself from him.
Seeing this, Baron Stern's soldiers quietly dispersed a little.
Baron Taliss, seemingly oblivious, continued forward, pointing towards the hilltop not far away.
"I laugh at goblins for being weak and slaves for being cowardly!"
"We lost this battle, but the church's stone walls still stand! They can't invade my territory! Once I call for reinforcements from the church, they'll be left here to die!"
"We've lost many comrades and our weapons and equipment. If they dare to take the risk and force their way here to ambush us, even if they can't wipe us out, they'll certainly inflict further losses on us!"
"Huh? Hahahaha—"
Baron Talis's laughter was interrupted by two voices.
"Attack! You guessed right!"
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Right in front of the Baron, Li Moss's command and Hagi Saint's loud laughter rang out at the same time!
Goblins and slaves emerged again from among the bushes and trees!
The slaves' faces flushed red, while the goblins' faces turned dark green.
But that doesn't stop them from launching an attack!
"Dahwa!"
"kill!"
Goblins and slaves wielding spears charged down the hill, unleashing another barrage of stones and javelins!
"Run!"
Baron Stern was already prepared and turned to flee to the left!
His soldiers quickly followed.
Baron Taliss stared at him for a moment, then turned and ran.
As the slaves rushed down the slope, another forty-odd soldiers became corpses!
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
After the game, both the slaves and the goblins were panting heavily.
Zi'an stared blankly in the direction the two barons had fled.
"Master, shall we continue the pursuit?"
"It's probably too late to catch up."
Li Mosi looked at the goblins.
"They are exhausted."
