Chapter 22 - Goblin Army 2
The wind brushed his skin and then he whipped the axe to remove the blood. Painting the ground with red. The surroundings were painted with blood and bodies littered with green-skinned goblins.
Torot!!!
Roar!!!
The sound of horn and roar came from one direction, but what trembled Aizen was it then was followed by more roaring from all directions. His back, side, and front.
"Damn, I didn't think that hobgoblins would act fast!"
The Hobgoblins—The captains of the clan of goblins. Even the presence of a Hobgoblin champion that leads them was possibly on the move.
It was then after that, The Hobgoblins then appeared from the forest and arrived at the clearing. Showing their faces as their teeth were shown as they smiled.
They have taller heights and bulkier bodies. Even though that was the case, they still have the face of a goblin.
Then inside their formation, appeared slightly taller than the rest and had a necklace of bones. Having a wooden club was towering compared to Rolan. Their skin was green and had tribal tattoos with them.
Rolan then clicked his tongue and was troubled. He didn't know what tactics he would use.
Also, they were growling and were excited to fight. the Hobgoblin champion tended to mute the others and Rolan was surrounded. Though the Hobgoblin seemed to want to have a duel with him and stopped his underlings.
Rolan clicked his tongue. He was not that strong yet as of now. And that was because his stats were not much. It would be better if he had stronger skills. Only luck would be his only comrade for now and bless him with that much.
He also has starting items only and was not yet used to his weak body. It would be a hassle.
Still, he won't back down. His enemy then dashed,
Rolan ran towards his enemy with him hurling the dirt. The axe was swung like a sword dance. He dueled the Hobgoblin champion while doing a weapon handle to boot.
The enemy then swung vertically and smashed toward Rolan.
Bang!
Dust was blown and Rolan rotated as he slashed on its back. Making him smirk at the enemy.
Swoosh! Swish!
The enemy then gritted its teeth and roared at them while not even wincing at the pain. It seemed its tenacity was high enough to endure the pain.
They soon coordinated their attacks and made great reflexes as he evaded the swing of the enemy.
A horizontal slash was made and the two ducked. Rolling on the ground then leaping toward the enemy. Slashing vertically and then the Hobgoblin champion grimaced in a smug. A streak of red light was emitted as he turned toward Aizen.
Rolan slashed its arms as he was not hit by the wooden club as he attacked in a different direction.
He immediately stepped back a bit and gripped his axe tighter as he gripped it slanted while being leveled on his face. The enemy then ran towards him while Saliva was drooling.
The Rolan then sprung up and went towards the enemy. Rolan was swung with the weapon and he sidestepped in the last moments. Scraping his face a bit.
'Tsk! That was close!'
He rotated away from the swing and then attacked. He slashed against the enemy and he coordinated his hands to his attacks.
Ting! Ting! Clunk!
The Hobgoblin champion then blocked his attacks with his wooden club. They did not even land an attack at all. Rolan then was attacked more aggressively and could only block its attacks.
"Ngk! His swings are heavy!"
He gripped his axe and shield and could only grit his teeth. Rolan attacked its back and then the Hobgoblin champion blocked his stab. Making the axe stuck in the club. The club then swung towards him and he let go of the axe. He grabbed his sword on his waist as he lost his main weapon.
Shing!
The enemy then grabbed the axe and then threw it away from them. Making the Rolan grit his teeth. Rolan heard the enemy chuckle with a low growl. A good intimidating factor for the enemy.
Rolan slashed in the front and the enemy blocked with his club.
Ting!
Then he flipped and attacked the back with a rotating slash while mid-air and it was blocked by his club. The enemy smashed Rolan and he was flung a bit for several steps. His feet were rubbed on the ground as he was regaining his balance and footing. He then collided with the tree trunk with a thud.
The enemy then focused its attention on him. Smashing in his direction made a booming sound as the weapon of destruction hit the ground. It was then, the Rolan rolled to the side to evade the attack. Making him spring up and dash towards him.
The enemy then saw that Rolan was shaking and his muscles were trembling. He even had difficulty standing up. He then knelt on the ground as he inhaled deeply.
Rolan then attacked furiously and did not even think of his safety. The swings of the enemy were only in hair's breadth in the distance. And he was also attacked once again and he dashed in a flicker.
He attacked the Hobgoblin on the left and then flickered to the right. When Rolan attacked, he was so fast that he dealt a slash on the back. The enemy retaliated and swung toward his direction but he was attacked by Rolan on the legs. Making it lose balance and strength in its legs. He immediately knelt on the ground. A small mishap from the enemy would cost his life. Such a blunder was made and he might lose his life.
Rolan then slashed and hacked nonstop. Making the two of them dance like swordplay and make brutal wounds on the enemy.
All muscles were cut and it hindered the enemy from moving at all. Still, the enemy didn't show weakness and was brave upon facing him.
Rolan watched the enemy in the eyes. He saw his face reflecting on the eyes of the enemy then stabbed him in the chest.
It was then, that the hobgoblins roared upon the death of their champion and Rolan was surrounded.
He then battled them all with all his might.
Rolan, together with his underlings fought. The formation was in a circle formation and he was attacked in all directions. Making him fight with all he got.
Finally, the enemy morale stooped so low that they retreated. Cheers of his men rang throughout the vicinity and they all raised their weapons in victory.
