Chapter 53: Chapter 52 “A Little Bit Better”_l
Translator: 549690339
Emerging from the dense jungle, the sun shone on his face, dazzling and piercing.
“This is the Goblin Camp, and the Secret Realm’s Gate is inside.”
Although this camp was larger, and the wild monsters were beyond imagination sharp, spearmen stood guard under the blazing sun with professional spirit, but…
Similar to the previous camp, filth and blood flowed freely here, with everywhere filled with indescribable bloodshed and cruelty that even an 18+ rating would struggle to capture.
Mu Yuan squinted, looking at the goblins in the distance who were ready for battle, yet had not rushed out of the camp.
Bad news: There are many goblins in the camp, an estimated two to three hundred.
Good news: These two to three hundred Goblins are not as elite as the ones that ambushed him that day.
If all these goblins were elite, Mu Yuan would… um, it seems like he could still fight?
He is not the same as he was in the past.
Although his troops on this trip numbered only in the fifties, they were even more elite than the elites, with over half of them being rare soldiers.
With the advantage on my side, how could I lose?
“Ahem, of course, there might be professional-level enemies inside the Goblin Camp, and Dead Bone has never fought such a big enemy, but even if we can’t…
He still had God Monster Crystal Lamp as a backup.
No rush, just charge.
“Today’s battle is unlikely to involve any sneaky attacks or use any clever tactics.”
Mu Yuan stroked his chin, the entire Goblin Camp was as solid as a rock, it seemed that he could only use brute force.
Brute force it is, my army is not without the ability to fight hard.
He looked towards Dead Bone.
In this battle, he would still hand over command to Dead Bone, but he, the Great Lord Shepherd, also played a crucial supporting role. He had arranged for several Battle Falcons to circle around the outside of the camp, like unmanned reconnaissance aircraft deployed around the battlefield, delivering scenes and intelligence from various directions into his eyes.
Commander Dead Bone took the order.
He began to command.
Skeleton Warriors and Strong Shooters stepped forward, pulling out their spears and raising their bows.
The Goblin Shaman far away, with command capabilities, was also stunned. It murmured something, and the next moment, the elite spear throwers standing on the watchtowers, with their great vision and height advantage, all threw their spears forcefully.
Wave after wave.
For a moment, spears rained down, the scene was quite spectacular but…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh-
Several wooden spears stuck into the ground dozens of meters away, they seemed to have been shot in vain. Even if a few spears were thrown far enough, they had no accuracy and were not very lethal.
After all, this place was beyond their range.
The Goblin Shaman on the other side, who was wise, understood this fact. It just saw the other side pulling out their bone spears and longbows and thought it had misjudged. Little did it know, it was fooled by the damned human.
Just as it thought this, it saw the skeleton throw a bone spear from a distance, and the archer also shot his feather arrow.
But the distance was beyond the range, and they still had the advantage of the high ground, so they didn’t think…
Boom-
A Goblin Spearman was hit by a bone spear, with half of its green skin body shattered.
Spurt-
Two or three elite spear throwers were hit by feather arrows and fell straight down from the watchtower.
This was within Dead Bone’s expectation.
The Skeleton Warriors used Charge to throw their spears, while the strong shooters used Charging Arrow or Triple Shot.
Under the effect of these skills, both bone spears and feather arrows flew faster and further.
Our range is beyond yours!
Dead Bone commanded two rounds of precise strikes, of course, some were missed, but still managed to kill twenty to thirty elite spear throwers.
The remaining goblins almost all hid behind buildings.
The shaman on the other side was positioned a bit far… Dead Bone couldn’t help regretting.
Mu Yuan was both three-part surprised and seven-part proud: there is such a tactic? No wonder it’s a great general I trained.
Without beating drums or blowing horns, in silence, just when the goblins had just retreated in panic, Dead Bone launched a full attack.
It is a very cautious skeleton, but at this time, it would not let other skeletons or Duo Lai act as pioneers.
It concentrated its energy on its legs, stepped forward first, it would bear the greatest pressure.
Fight!
Within a few moments, Dead Bone was rushing towards the gate of the Goblin Camp, facing numerous wooden spears shooting at him, remaining utterly fearless.
Energy output increased threefold;
Cleave combined Charge for a six-meter-long black sword glow;
As he muttered under his breath, the black mist on the giant sword began to erupt like boiling water, interweaving ceaselessly to form a terrifying several-meter-long black glow. With both hands on the sword, a horizontal slash cut through everything in front of him with the pitch-black glow.
A fireball was split apart;
Wooden fences and watchtowers got devoured and annihilated in the darkness;
Three large goblins that had growled and pounced on Dead Bone also had half of their bodies devoured by the black glow, while still three or four meters away from him.
One slash unleashed an invincible might!
Other goblins still recklessly charged up, but the shaman not far away was scared, wanting to tactically withdraw stealthily.
At that moment, the wind whistled, a terrifying wind pressure attacked from above.
The shaman quickly dodged, catching only a glimpse at a giant palm that was falling from the sky from the corner of his eye.
Duo Lai’s Palm!!
Boom
The ground trembled, wood chips and broken stones flew up, and a thick cloud of dust and smoke hid everything within more than ten meters.
At this point, other several Silver Slime followed in Duo Lai’s footsteps, using duplication+leap, raining down from the sky, dealing heavy blows to the goblins.
The killing power of the Silver Slime couldn’t compare with Duo Lai, but they too caused great chaos in the enemy ranks, causing dust and smoke to surge within the whole camp.
The great chaos of battle thus unfolded.
At this time, the goblin corpses lying on the ground suddenly shriveled, their bodies split open like leather bags, and one after another, bent-back Goblin-branded Skeletons slowly climbed up, suddenly catching or holding onto other Goblins.
The next moment, the giant sword fell.
Boom
The scene was utterly chaotic. Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Warriors, and countless Goblins fought desperately together.
It was the strong shooters, Imperial Guards, and Silver Slime, under the command of Dead Bone, only maneuvering on the outskirts of the battlefield, fighting quite cunningly.
Duo Lai, on the other hand, merely relied on his palm technique to drop from the sky, hitting wherever he pointed, having already annihilated countless goblins in the back row – one of the Goblin Shaman even died under his hand.
“Three Goblin Warriors, two Goblin Shaman, but, they’re all 9th level of the zero rank.”
Even though this camp seems to be elite, it apparently hasn’t existed for long.
Comparing with the situation of the monsters guarding the Secret Realm’s Gate shown off by some second-generation lords on the forums, Mu Yuan felt that he was odd, but not to a ridiculous extent.
It was just a few rare monsters and hundreds of ordinary ones… Well.
The 7th level ‘Bone Two’, ‘Bone Three’ completely suppressed the Goblin Warrior, and Duo Lai chased the last Shaman everywhere.
But at this moment, a hulking figure that looked like a small giant appeared in their line of sight, and with just one punch, it shattered a Skeleton Soldier, then grabbed a 6th level Skeleton Warrior, slammed it onto the ground, and then threw him far away.
It was as if a giant was beating up a child.
Mu Yuan’s eyes slimmed.
“This is the Goblin… Leader!”
‘Goblin Leader (Rare***): Zero rank, 9th level.’
Same rank as Dead Bone, even a level higher.
It showed its teeth at Dead Bone, its mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth still had remnants of flesh and blood, it gestured as if it were going to tear him to pieces, and then, like a heavy truck, it fiercely charged forward.
Dead Bone did not retreat either.
He had to bear the greatest pressure, withstand this powerful enemy.
He held the sword with both hands, the massive energy reserve brought by his gifted Death Extraction, surged out nearly unreservedly at this moment.
Energy output increased 500%!
Fusing the energy by charging it three times with the Charge skill, then converging it with the Cleave skill!
Infusing it into the blade of the giant sword, and then spreading it throughout his body, covering his silver armor with the billowing black mist.
Dead Bone looked like a ghostly figure walking out of Nether Hell, basking in the black ‘flames’, the ‘flames’ scorched the earth. He swung a forceful slash towards the Goblin Leader who, not far away, was charging madly, his face becoming increasingly twisted and pale.
Boom
Black glow burst like a water fountain, consuming everything in a large area in front of him, and a deep rift was cut out of the ground.
Within that rift, a broken hulking body lay under the dim black glow.
Dead Bone seemed to wipe a nonexistent sweat, “Fortunately, I had a slight edge..”
