Chapter 330 – The Weak Meat
Although optimistically speaking, the situation is not very favorable.
No, it’s disadvantageous.
Each and every one of them is a difficult opponent, but to bring along the goblins as well.
I quickly glanced at the goblins surrounding Trisian and me.
It didn’t feel like the hobgoblins were ordering the goblins to surround us. The goblin’s ‘Kieek’ street probably doesn’t have that much intellectual underpinnings to its stupid, obnoxious noise.
The story of this becomes the story that these guys recognized their numerical superiority and surrounded me and Trisian.
Despite the advantage of numerical superiority, they do not easily approach us empty-handed with their unlucky faces filled with tension, perhaps because of the memory of being slaughtered in a cave the other day. The distance maintained is about 5m.
The distance between the goblins was also quite wide, so the siege wasn’t very tight.
The advantage of the tactic of encirclement is that you can knock the enemy from all sides. The more surface area to attack the enemy, the more places to hit.
Trisian and I have our backs to the wall, so if we are surrounded by goblins, we will have to deal with the goblins coming from the front, left and right.
There is no reason to accept a fight that is advantageous to the opponent.
As I said before, the best way for me and Trisian now is to break through the encirclement and run away and defeat the goblins that are chasing us individually.
Fortunately, goblins are in a small weight class. The difference in strength between weight classes is absolute.
If you quickly run into a goblin that is stupidly widening its distance, it becomes a one-on-one fight between you and the goblin for that brief moment until another goblin next to you comes to help.
If you quickly knock out that one guy and get out, you can get out of the siege.
It is like piercing a cloth with an awl.
However, the only variable in a 1:1 situation is a weapon that can bridge the gap between the goblin and my weight class. No matter how much stronger I am than the goblins, if I get stabbed in the heart with a sharp knife, I won’t be able to stand it.
When I thought about it, I immediately looked at the weapons the goblins were holding. They carried crudely carved wooden clubs. Some of them carry spears made of sharpened stones wrapped around vines at the end of clubs.
Its size also matches the goblin’s body type, so it doesn’t look that threatening, but it’s enough to attack and incapacitate a person for a moment.
I glanced at Trisian next to me.
Her armed condition is disastrous. Of course, her weapons were missing, and the armor that covered her body was damaged and lost here and there, and the clothes she was wearing on the inside were torn little by little, leaving parts like her thighs exposed.
According to her shallow knowledge, thick blood vessels ran through her thighs, and if cut incorrectly, she could die from excessive blood loss.
However, the robe of the god of death I am wearing is different. It proved its durability by blocking countless times the Gurkha dagger of Pusil, a dragon woman, and never being cut. I’d better take the lead and break through the siege here.
However, it is impossible for one to stand still and watch the process of breaking through the siege. For a goblin to attack me, the body has to come directly, but one is different. Even from a distance, she will control the plants and try to hinder our movements.
“Stop the futile resistance and be easily captured, right? I’ll treat you kindly~”
“…”
A strange feeling of discomfort passed through her head.
The time when Hana fought Trisian on equal footing was when Trisian was fully armed. No matter how much mana can be used to strengthen her body, Trician now is just a naked woman.
In other words, Trisian now is an opponent that Hana can easily defeat.
There was no need to surround us with goblins and persuade us to surrender.
Just like when you first met me, it’s enough if you break the vine and grab him mercilessly.
After all, vines are plants.
It couldn’t be cut with bare hands, and it wasn’t an animal that felt senses, so it couldn’t be shocked like Natalia’s skeleton. If it comes randomly, no matter how much you resist, you will eventually be caught.
But why are you using the goblins instead of using such an easy method?
‘Mana recovery, semen…’
The series of actions she was taking flashed in her head as she coveted my semen and muttered that she was lacking mana.
If it was because she didn’t have enough mana to control the plants, then her behavior was understandable.
Like Trician who lost her armament, Hana also ran out of mana and was unable to attack.
Stalemate.
Hana must have brought her goblins to break the stalemate.
The one variable that bothered me the most was that she couldn’t use her hands.
The next thing that bothers me is the Hobgoblin, who is in the same weight class as me.
There is no weight class advantage against him.
There, he holds a long sword made of steel, albeit rusted.
But Hobgoblins are not like Hana. If you want to attack me, you have to come directly. You just have to break through the siege before he gets close. Then things will go smoothly.
“Miss Trisian. Are you ready? I will take the lead.”
“Are you going to break through the siege?”
“Yes.”
“Direction?”
“I’m going to run straight through the bushes along the wall on the left, opposite to where the Hobgoblin and Hana are. Besides, the goblins standing here look the weakest.”
In order not to be too obvious, I glanced at the goblin approaching from the left.
Perhaps the stupid goblins couldn’t form a tight siege, only this guy stood there feeling detached.
From her besieged attitude, you can feel that this guy is a surefire hole.
There, Hana and the Hobgoblin are standing with their backs to the wall, leaning to the right rather than the front.
Breaking one point of the encirclement is not that difficult if you break through the farthest left direction from them!
“Going! Follow the tempo!”
Consciously take a deep breath.
As the supply of oxygen changes, the blood circulates rapidly.
Mana is shed by the accelerated rotation of blood. Shed shed!
The mana that begins to spread quickly and densely throughout the body permeates between the muscle fibers, allowing them to generate strength and speed that they could not produce with their usual muscle strength.
I could feel the soles of my feet kicking off the ground breaking through the hard soil.
The one step he took with his mana-enhanced body lightly jumped three times the distance of his usual step.
He leaned forward so violently that he fell forward at a speed faster than he thought.
It was because if I didn’t bend down like this, I couldn’t keep up with the speed and I felt like I was going to fall.
“Kie, Kiek!!”
The goblin is visibly taken aback when I jump right in. A stick is not a striking object, it is not a useful object for stopping an enemy who suddenly rushes at you.
It’s not a weapon that can make up for a weight gap that’s more than doubled.
“I’m going to die!!”
Using the running speed as energy, I immediately kicked the knee at the goblin’s disfigured face. Truly in the blink of an eye. In that brief moment, she felt her knees crushing the soft cartilage on the side of the goblin’s pointy, large nose, breaking her teeth.
The goblin’s neck bones that couldn’t overcome my mass cracked with a crackling sound. I reached out to the collapsing goblin, grabbed the club it was holding, and passed it to Trisian, who was following me.
“Take it!”
“You?!”
“Trissian is stronger than me!”
No matter how much I thought about it, I handed it over because I thought it would be more useful to use Trisian than mine.
Even after breaking the goblin’s neck, its speed did not decrease at all.
Without stopping, she headed straight for the thicket between the trees in front of her. First of all, after crossing this thicket, knock down the goblins chasing after you.
There’s no way you’ll lose against the goblins unless you’re surrounded!
With that thought in mind, as soon as I jumped over the bush, something glittering caught my eye.
“Kikki.”
“Uh?”
Goblins’ skin is green. It is not a meaningless evolution. The reason why it is small and its skin is green is to hide its body well. It was to hide well and make it easier for the enemy to attack, so there was no way that the goblins hiding behind the bushes would be noticed.
That’s why I was able to see the three goblins appearing as if they had been waiting here until I jumped over the bushes and faced them with my body floating in the air.
The one standing in front is pointing at me with a sharp dagger I don’t know where it came from.
But, why did the goblins wait here… ?
“Trap… ?!”
Surrounded by a siege, anyone will choose to break through one point. You can’t stop it. If you can’t stop it, you can induce action.
The fact that they kept their distance from the goblin standing on the left and tightened the encirclement was also the reason they induced my action by throwing them as bait!
It is impossible to stop a body floating in midair. You can turn around only when you land on the ground as planned.
However, if that happens, it is a foregone conclusion that you will be stabbed by the dagger the goblin is holding!
“It’s great… !”
