The Goblin Group suddenly quieted down.
Among the hundreds of murky eyeballs, at this moment, they only reflected the gallant image of the female Hero brandishing her longsword.
And those legs, that waist, those hands, that skin, that hair, those cheeks—
Then, the goblins went into a frenzy.
It has to be said that goblins are creatures truly faithful to their instincts—after all, beyond that, they have nothing else.
Because they want to survive, they don't care about the death of their leader; they only strive to run faster than their companions.
Because they want females, they don't care about the death of their leader; they only chase to run faster than their companions.
The difference is that the former is about saving themselves, which means retreating,
while the latter is about disregarding their own life and death, which means advancing.
At this moment, driven by instinct, almost all the goblins exhibited an undaunted spirit of 'sacrifice' and 'unity.'
They rushed towards the Hero one after another, indifferent to the sharpness of the sword that had slain the Big Goblin, even willingly charging toward the blade, sacrificing their vile lives to create opportunities for their companions,
All actions were just to touch, to defile the beauty in front of them.
The goblins, drooling and eyes blood-red, either ran or jumped towards the Hero, creating an overwhelming illusion.
Overpower her, overpower her, overpower her!
"——!" Faced with this scene, the Hero's breath also hitched, tightly gripping the longsword in her hand.
[The Guards' Cooperation (Intelligence +15)]
[Cooperation meets the standard; Guard joins the battle. Due to Guard LV27's attribute gap being too large compared to the goblins (5 times), the action is automatically successful.]
[The frenzied Goblin Assault (Collective Frenzy D3, numerical advantage +6)]
3d8+6=d8(5)+d8(5)+d8(5)+6=21
[The Hero's Counterattack (Armor Break+12, Support Shooting D41+8)]
D10+d41+20=d10(2)+d41(35)+20=57
The stench of blood assaulted her face, and the Hero instinctively thought to dodge, but everywhere around her were goblins; it seemed there was no other choice but retreat.
But obviously, the goblins would not let her go so easily. The green-skinned creatures fervently assaulted the fragile girl, but the terrifying momentum only fueled the flames of wrath in the girl's eyes.
However, just when the Hero was about to face them head-on, two Guards charged out from behind her, one to the left, one to the right, standing in front of her.
Buckler raised, longsword swung.
"Haha, I apologize for my doubts. You really are a Hero!" Guard A's buckler easily knocked several leaping goblins out of the air.
Having witnessed the Hero split the Big Goblin in two at the back, Guard B, unsure if he could do the same, nodded in agreement.
The goblins' claws and sticks hit his buckler and arm but failed to change his expression at all. Then, he swung his sword with the other hand, smoothly beheading all goblins that approached him.
The annoying presence of males elicited screams from the goblins, but the Guards' movements were unruffled, easily slaying the green-skins with their swords.
As the goblins screamed, the twang of bowstrings sounded behind the Hero, as arrows sent goblins attempting to attack from behind flying, not embedding in their flesh but blasting holes, shattering their bodies as if they were tofu.
"Goblins are goblins; without a leader, they're just a rabble, whether one or ten, it makes no difference." Guard C scoffed, his shooting posture unwavering.
"This number of goblins is nothing to worry about. To bring us down, you'd need, what, a thousand?"
The Hero seized the opportunity, swiftly swinging her longsword. Even though it didn't hit any vital spots, it easily split a goblin apart, spilling mechanical parts wrapped in green skin all over the ground.
Although the students who had gone abroad had only brought standard-issue equipment, the Border's military equipment was of high quality. Whether arrows or slashes, neither were something the frail bodies of goblins could withstand.
Realizing that the three males all exuded a dangerous air, the goblins hesitated.
[Goblin Group's Panic]
D100+30=d100(32)+30=62
[Panic exceeds 50, goblins begin to flee.]
The mindless desire quelled by the repugnant male scent, the goblins finally awakened from their frenzy.
Some still reluctantly gazed at the Hero, while others began to flee in panic.
And some goblins tried to rush forward, but were immediately slain by the two Guards.
Seeing this, naturally, the Hero had no intention of letting these creatures off, brandishing her longsword to begin another charge, cleaving through any goblins she could catch as if slicing through vegetables.
[The Hero's Pursuit and Slaughter (Perception+30, Agility+19, Ranged Support D2)]
2d100+49=d100(33)+d100(28)+49=110
[Goblin's Escape (Forest D6+5)]
6d15=d15(5)+d15(14)+d15(13)+d15(4)+d15(1)+d15(6)=43
"How's it going!?" Amid the forest reeking with the scent of blood, Guard B shouted.
"All dead! Not one spared!" Guard A responded.
The goblins that came bustling were now scrambling uncoordinatedly as they ran,
The forest environment that made the Hero's charge slightly stagger also became a hindrance to the fleeing goblins.
Those who fell to the ground, who collided with their kin, and even those still fixated on the girl and trying to take a detour back.
Thus, despite their overwhelming numbers, they couldn't escape far before they all became buried in this forest under the alternating harvest of slashes and arrows.
These magic creatures, initially excited to the extreme when attracted by the Magic Potion, could have never imagined this place would become their graveyard.
