Chapter 29 – Variables
#029.
“Shoot!!”
Fit! Phoebe Bibit-
At the same time as Park Gyu-wan shouted, bolts flew at the goblins who had just crossed the fence. It wasn’t long before they charged vigorously, and each of them fell to the ground with five or six bolts attached to their bodies.
Dozens of goblins were killed in that single attack, but there were still many left. Rather, they were more excited to see the blood of their own people and made a reckless breakthrough.
“Everyone, don’t be afraid! There aren’t that many of them! Even if you kill only 3 per person, you can win without damage!”
As Park Gyu-wan said, there were only 400 to 500 goblins at most. Since the weight class itself is almost twice as large, it can be seen that 3 dogs per person is enough.
─Aaaaa!
─Kieek!
Soon, the first row collided with the goblins.
In the center stood a handful of people holding large shields, and around them were shield soldiers holding one-handed shields and blunt weapons or long swords. As they hit back with their weight, all the first goblins that rushed at them were thrown back powerlessly.
However, no matter how weak the impact, if it is continuously flying, it will be difficult to handle. After that, the shield soldiers began to be pushed back little by little by the endless hordes of goblins.
“Second row!!”
And the moment Park Gyu-Wan’s cry rang again, the spearmen located right behind the shield soldier vigorously thrust their spears through the gap in the shield.
Fubububuk!
A bloody sound piercing the flesh burst out one after another, and the shield soldiers regained their composure. When the spears were retrieved, dozens of more goblins slithered helplessly on their shields and fell to the ground.
The fight went very easily.
Nearly 50 goblins had already died, but not a single casualty occurred on the New World side.
At this rate, it would have ended with a victory for the humans.
However, the goblins were not foolish.
At least the leader who led them had an intelligence comparable to that of a human.
Doo-woong-!
Then, an unknown resonance sounded.
At the epicenter of the resonant sound was a goblin with a unique appearance.
Its size is no different from that of a normal goblin, but it has a pretty luxurious-looking cape on its body and accessories dangling here and there. And he informed me that the large wooden staff in his hand was an unusual object.
As he cast a strange spell while guarding his staff, dark green light gushed out from here and there in the forest.
The moment the black and green mixed magical energy formed a strange barrier, all the goblins’ movements accelerated.
“Ouch! What, what!”
“What the fuck!!”
The damage followed immediately with screams.
The goblins, who dug into the gaps in the shields and continuously piled up corpses, forcibly cracked the defenses.
In fact, even if the goblins moved faster, how fast would they have gotten? Even if they become a little faster, the difference between their innate limitations and reach cannot be overcome.
The placenta was stopped by the spearmen who came out right away, but the damage suffered once spread out of control and led to a drop in overall morale.
Tension quickly drained his stamina and slowed his reaction even further. The goblins seemed to have the same effect as berserk, but the goblins continued to charge without retreating even as they died without a break.
The fight went on for a long time.
About 30 minutes later, casualties occurred in earnest on the Shinsegae side. Of course, it’s not comparable to a goblin, but death still terrifies everyone equally.
Goblins who forgot fear, and humans who felt the fear of death. The fight between the two quickly tipped the scales. Shinsegae, which had an overwhelming advantage, began to step back little by little.
Kim Min-joon, who had been killing goblins by blowing bolts from a relatively safe place, also sensed a crisis and continued to look around.
‘Couldn’t that bastard show up?’
To him, Gaon was half traumatic.
Even though I couldn’t find a connection at all, the thought that this might also be Gaon’s work continues to occupy my mind.
As a result, it was nothing more than a delusion of persecution, but he was brilliantly penetrating the circumstances.
And then,
─Kwoaaaaa!!
A loud roar echoed from behind.
“What crazy!”
It was an orc. All of them with great sticks of rice cakes were running, wriggling all the muscles in their bodies.
Gyu-Wan Park hurriedly ordered everyone to prepare for the attack of the Orcs, but it was impossible.
He took the damage from the front and brought the shield soldier to set up a display, but he was helplessly pushed back by the rush of over 200 orcs.
─Aaaaa!!
─Hey!
The hands of the Orcs did not discriminate between men and women of all ages. When the palm of his hand, like a large pot lid, struck his face, his teeth erupted and he fell unconscious.
After that, he was trampled by the foot clouds of other orcs pushing in, and his entire body was crushed and his breath stopped.
Seeing this, Kim Min-joon eagerly rolled his eyes to find his life path. Perhaps thanks to his pheromone detection, Kim Min-joon was able to find a gap among the few orcs.
He rolled across the floor and somehow escaped the orcs and jumped right over the bush.
He heard voices saying that he would never forgive him if he ran away from behind, but it did not reach his ears.
I didn’t care about the distribution of physical strength, I just ran without hesitation. Right now, I just wanted to get out of that abyss of death.
Min-Jun Kim, who was running like that, stopped at the moment when he lost his balance after colliding with a stone tower.
“Uh, uh uh… !”
He struggled and barely managed to stop falling, and after breathing heavily, he slowly turned his head. He then gritted his teeth at the fact that he had almost fallen in the same place again.
“This fucking thing!”
He got hit again Because of that bastard who came on vacation, I got into this ridiculous situation again. He must be beating Lee Cho-rin on the butt and laughing.
Driven into a fit of rage by his paranoia of persecution, he nervously swung his foot and toppled the stone tower.
Watching the stone tower crumble with a rumble makes me feel a little more at ease.
And, it wasn’t until he regained his sanity that he heard a strange noise.
Jump! Awesome— Kwa-ching!
A sound like something breaking glass.
At the same time, it fuels anxiety and pretends to be unknown. Kim Min-jun barely moved his stiff body and looked behind him.
“Kurrurer—”
“Sir, fuck. What is this?”
A cave had been created there at some point, and a large green monster that had just escaped was glaring at Kim Min-joon.
Like a frog standing in front of a snake, he confirmed the relationship between predator and prey.
Even if you are dragged into the tiger’s den, you can come out alive if you wake up. Kim Min-jun kept repeating the proverb in his mind.
So when he finally relaxed and turned around, boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A voice followed.
“Sir, Mr. Baaal!!”
He went back the way he had come, hearing heavy footsteps behind him.
He just couldn’t handle it on his own.
He became an excellent decoy, leading trolls into battle.

“You’re here.”
“Oh! Gaon Mr. What should I do? Even the orcs showed up, are you really okay?”
Chorin couldn’t help but look at the battlefield where the orcs had just appeared and turned it into chaos. She couldn’t help but worry as she was teeming with hundreds of guys, each one more than a stout man.
Gaon, unaware of Chorin’s feelings, rather smiled brightly and she fell in joy.
“Of course. Then I will come.”
“You really don’t have to help?”
Chorin grabbed Gaon as she was about to climb down a tree. The way she fidgeted with the crossbow made her feel like she was going to keep pace.
But that’s a risky move.
Throwing a crossbow would inevitably expose the location, and naturally, monsters would flock to catch Chorin.
There was no way I could take such a risk.
Gaon shook her head, put her hand on her shoulder, and spoke in a soothing voice.
“With Lee Cho-rin, I can overdo it. If you’re really sorry, you can treat it later. Do you understand?”
“… Yes.”
Chorin’s face made her blush at Gaon’s words to suit her. Even when she wasn’t thinking about these things, she found his words sounding too vulgar.
Now that this fight is sure to be more intense than ever, Chorin’s mana alone is not enough to provide a perfect cure. Then she said that she had to eat semen after all, so it was only natural for her that Gaon’s words sounded strange.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes. Don’t get hurt too badly. Got it?”
“All right. Then see you later.”
Gaon left her chorin smile behind her and leaped from the tree. He flew swiftly from tree to tree, getting closer to the ground little by little, and when he reached a sufficient height, he jumped down and stealthily crept into the bush.
No one is aware of Gaon right now.
So, what is the most effective strategy in this case?
Of course, in a war like this, breaking the chain of command is very powerful.
In particular, in the case of goblins, their power was blown due to the strengthening barrier maintained by magic. In this case, if the shaman dies, the goblin forces will suffer a great blow.
‘There he is.’
Gaon, who was making his way through the bushes, found a goblin shaman sitting on the ground surrounded by about 10 goblins at the rear.
The muttering continuously while holding the cane on the ground seems to be reciting a command to maintain the barrier.
If that’s the case, it’s enough to get rid of it.
Holding his spear in reverse, Gaon took a few deep breaths before rising and leaping out of the bush.
And when he took one step, two steps, three steps, he took the momentum and weight of it and vigorously threw his arms forward.
Wedge love liquid—!
Due to the increase in physical abilities through karma absorption and the strengthening of muscles using mana, the spear split the sky like a flash. The spear flew so fast that it left an afterimage because the image was not formed properly, and it blew away the goblin shaman’s colossus.
Kwajijik! With a groan, the head that had been ripped off from the head rolls across the floor.
─Kiyaaaaa!!
Right after that, the angry roars of the goblins followed, but by then Gaon had already hidden himself in the bushes.
Now the next target is Orc.
