It’s a pity that the Dragon Hunting Crossbow can indeed kill dragons as the beautiful and noble Sword Saint said, but no one knows what went wrong and half of the Dragon Hunting Crossbows could not be used successfully!

If it had ended here, perhaps the remaining survivors would still tell this story to their descendants, telling of the power of the Sword Saint and the regret of failing at the last minute.

However, the strength of the Sword Saint was beyond everyone’s expectations. Even the Fiery Dragon Mother, who was so terrifying at a glance from afar, was defeated by the sword of the Sword Saint. But at this moment, the emotions of the people who went up and down like a roller coaster, returning to the top of the mountain and falling to the bottom of the valley, were finally unable to hold on.

However, what they don’t know is that after this brutal battle between humans and dragons that seems to be coming to an end, even greater despair is about to come.

The first one came from the Fiery Dragon Mother who had been chopped away by the Sword Saint.

When she recovered from her injuries and returned to the sky above Maple Leaf Town, she saw that it was this tiny human who used a super-level sword skill that even a giant dragon would not dare to defend against.

Then, the Flame Dragon Mother could only watch helplessly as more than half of the dragons she was responsible for protecting were killed or injured in an instant!

This made the Flame Dragon Mother, who was already furious about the death of two giant dragons, even more furious, and she couldn’t help but crash into the Sword Saint who was breathing slightly in mid-air.

Although the existence of super-level sword skills is extremely powerful and has amazing effects, it is still a considerable burden for the Sword Saint, who has reached level 60 and possesses various divine blessings.

Not to mention, this was a full-strength attack from her in a fit of rage!

Just carefully guiding the sword light that fell like a waterfall so as not to accidentally injure the residents of Maple Leaf Town had already consumed countless energy of the Sword Saint!

Now facing the Fiery Dragon Mother again, whose body recovered at an astonishing speed, the Sword Saint could only retreat again and again under her angry attack.

Afterwards, one of them, relying on his strong physique and recovery ability, fought for his life, while the other was weak after his ultimate move and was waiting for the cooldown. The man and the dragon fought back and forth, and the fight was hard to determine, all the way out of Maple Leaf Town.

At this moment, the Sword Saint and the Flame Dragon Mother were like two bombs about to explode, both of them were on guard against each other and would rather perish together than wipe out all the remaining dragons or humans.

However, the Sword Saint could not use the second super-level sword skill, while the Flame Dragon Mother was still hesitant about the matter.

They just watched as the two powerful fighters who could decide the situation in an instant walked away. Fortunately, the Sword Saint wiped out most of the dragons before leaving. Now the people in Maple Leaf Town can still win a tragic victory.

However, just as the remaining people gathered together again and prepared to wipe out these dragons that suffered heavy casualties, a group of goblins quietly sneaked in from the outskirts of Maple Leaf Town!

Chapter 285: The Abnormally Smart Goblin Army

At first, the remaining people in Maple Leaf Town who were still gathered together thought that these cunning and hateful goblins saw that Maple Leaf Town was profitable, so they wanted to come and fish in troubled waters.

However, someone soon noticed something was wrong.

Because they found that these goblins did not look for the injured dragons, but rushed straight towards them!

“Oh no, run away!” an adventurer shouted in horror.

However, it was too late as the goblins quickly surrounded them and trapped them.

At the same time, some adventurers began to realize that something was wrong.

“How come these goblins suddenly appeared here? Could it be that…” A middle-aged adventurer frowned, as if he had thought of something terrible.

He turned around and looked around, and found that the other adventurers also had expressions of confusion and fear.

At this moment, a young adventurer suddenly exclaimed: “Look, those dragons don’t seem to attack these goblins!” Everyone looked over and found that the dragons that should have been hostile to the goblins were now turning a blind eye to them, as if they didn’t exist at all.

“What is going on? Why would these dragons let these goblins go?” asked an elderly adventurer in confusion.

There was a hint of fear in his voice, because he knew that if these dragons were really colluding with the goblins, then they would be in great danger this time.

As monsters, they generally have strict hierarchical relationships. The more powerful the monster, the less they will allow lowly races to invade their territory. This is a very serious act of provocation.

And now, even among the monsters, although most of the giant dragons that firmly occupy the top of the pyramid have been killed or injured, there are still a small number of them still wreaking havoc in Maple Leaf Town.

Under the strong pressure of the dragon clan that has spread throughout the entire Maple Leaf Town, how did this group of cunning and cowardly goblins dare to sneak into Maple Leaf Town during this period of time?

Aren’t they afraid of death?

Soon, something even more puzzling happened.

Even though they didn’t know what caused these goblins hiding deep in the Shadow Forest to come out in full force at this moment, they were not even afraid of the pressure and silent intimidation from the top monsters.

However, these goblins were too strange in the eyes of the adventurers and knights who had dealt with them many times.

Unlike the goblins in these people’s impression who were impatient and noisy, rushing forward when encountering an enemy and scattering without caring about anything when encountering a difficult target, these goblins who quietly sneaked into Maple Leaf Town during this battle were really too calm.

What’s more, it’s even more puzzling.

After encountering them, these goblins were not only calm but also very smartly formed encirclements one by one, just like arranging troops, advancing their steps in an orderly manner, just like a well-trained army.

How could the goblins they usually see have the kind of posture they see now?

If the goblins that the adventurers and residents encountered before were like a group of mountain bandits who robbed houses, then the group of goblins that suddenly appeared in this Maple Leaf Town now were like the most elite and serious kingdom guards.

This very strong contrast between the beginning and the end was a little confusing, but it obviously did not make the people in Maple Leaf Town who survived the dragon’s attack let down their guard. Instead, they became even more nervous.

To make matters worse, the battle between Maple Leaf Town and the dragon had not yet come to a successful conclusion. However, at this final moment, a group of goblin soldiers who looked very smart suddenly appeared in this small Maple Leaf Town, which undoubtedly made the situation worse.

As the goblin army advanced cautiously, there were adventurers who looked down on them or wanted to resist.

However, there are no exceptions.

All previous fighting methods against goblins seemed to have lost their effect at this moment. The strong third-generation goblins held up huge shields and stood at the forefront of the goblin army like a city wall.

The relatively short goblin warriors did not rush forward to attack, but waited steadily for the archers hiding behind the third generation goblins to shoot them round by round.

Only when it came time to clean up the mess did these goblins reveal their true insidious and cunning nature.

No matter if it was the corpses that had been pierced into hedgehogs by arrows, or the adventurers who seemed to have fallen to the ground with serious injuries, these goblins showed no courtesy when it came to finishing off the dead. They would first strike a sword from a distance, and then carefully run forward to strike a few more times to ensure that all the corpses were completely dead!

As for those residents and adventurers who escaped in panic, these goblins seemed to know the truth that one should not pursue a desperate enemy.

It was as if he was playing with these adventurers and knights, or similar to the reeling and defense lines in fishing.

These goblins did not completely seal the encirclement during the process of pursuit and interception. Instead, they left a gap, driving away the survivors who were already physically and mentally exhausted after the war, and constantly draining away their remaining physical strength and spirit.

It’s not that no one wants to fight back with all their might.

However, if anyone showed any sign of running slower, a round of arrows would rain down from the encirclement behind them. Even this short distance of just a few dozen steps was like an insurmountable chasm for most adventurers.

Even if some powerful people managed to charge forward despite the danger of the rain of arrows, they would be greeted by huge shields that looked like city walls.

This feeling makes people feel completely desperate.

Even just now, when facing the group of giant dragons that were wreaking havoc across Maple Leaf Town, these adventurers who had already gone mad with killing only felt that, although the gap in strength between the two was huge, they could still work together to kill these dragons if they tried their best.

When faced with the goblin army that was advancing steadily and pressing forward step by step, these people were left with only the despair of being slaughtered.

It seemed that no matter what they did, they could not break through the encirclement of the goblins, and under the protection of the huge shields that were like city walls, they could not even rush forward to risk their lives.

As they were constantly driven away and devoured, these adventurers and knights could not help but be shocked at the intelligence of these goblins that suddenly appeared.

It was as if what they were facing at this moment was not some cunning and despicable monster, but another of the most well-trained and elite troops in the kingdom!

Led by the few remaining elite adventurers and cavalry captains, these remaining adventurers and cavalry did organize charges and resistances, but they were all countered by this group of very smart goblins. They retreated when the enemy advanced and attacked when the enemy was tired. They kept the distance and used rain of arrows as if they were free to block their approach. However, in the face of the desperate attacks of these survivors, the thick giant shields made them return empty-handed time and time again.

However, these goblins did not let down their guard.

They remain on high alert at all times, closely monitoring every possible breakthrough direction.

Whenever adventurers tried to break through from the side or rear, the goblins would quickly adjust their defenses and repel them with dense arrows.

This flexible and changeable tactic made it impossible for the adventurers to find an effective breakthrough.

The goblins showed plenty of patience and caution towards these powerful adventurers or knights. They did not seem to be in a hurry to kill them. Instead, they continued to form encirclements and drove the remaining survivors to the fountain square in the center of Maple Leaf Town.

As for those adventurers who were accidentally left alone, or even those who were fighting with the remaining dragons, they were ruthlessly ambushed and killed by all means possible!

At this time, the situation on the battlefield had become extremely serious.

Although the adventurers were still resisting stubbornly, their numbers were dwindling and their morale was declining.

The goblins were in high spirits, constantly making sharp cries, which brought great psychological pressure to the adventurers.

At this critical moment, an experienced adventurer stood up and shouted: “Don’t panic! We must unite and fight the enemy together!”

His voice spread throughout the battlefield, cheering up the adventurers who were originally a little panicked.

Inspired by this adventurer, other adventurers responded one after another. They formed a tight formation, supported each other, and jointly resisted the goblin’s attack.

At the same time, they took advantage of the terrain and cleverly avoided the goblin’s rain of arrows.

Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the better.

However, at this moment, a low dragon roar suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge black dragon descending from the sky.

It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of blazing flames, instantly burning the surrounding goblins to ashes.

Chapter 286: Heroic Goblin? Norn’s Divine Constitution!

Under the desperate defense of the guards, it didn’t take long before Grey Joy, the prince of the Grey Kingdom who had led two cavalry regiments to support the town, lost the calmness and composure he had when talking with the Sword Saint. He was chased to the center of the town square by a group of goblin soldiers in a dusty state.

The adventurers and knights who had been standing silently in the square, hoping for rescue, fell into complete despair after seeing that Grey Joy had also been captured.

Now, there might be a slight chance of saving them, and the only one left is Her Royal Highness the Second Princess of the Giorral Kingdom, who has not yet been captured with her Royal Guards.

However, since Grey Joy was captured by this group of extremely clever goblins, the Second Princess who was still resisting might not be able to hold on for much longer.

What’s more, they couldn’t help but think that if the second princess, Nolen, was also captured, her fate would probably be even more miserable than theirs.

After all, although the goblins are cunning, despicable and dirty by nature, the most humiliating things are the female creatures once they are captured by them.

Almost without exception, they will all become breeding grounds for these disgusting little creatures.

Thinking of this, some adventurers couldn’t help but quietly look at the dusty Grey Joy.

The reason why the Prince of Gray Kingdom came to this unknown little Maple Leaf Town was probably for his fiancée, the First Princess of Giorlar Kingdom.

However, according to rumors, the first princess had probably been captured by those evil and dirty goblins for who knows how long.

I’m afraid that even if Grey Joy managed to escape this time and successfully found the First Princess, that princess would have been torn beyond recognition by those goblins who ate everything they could.

Thinking of this, many people suddenly felt that their trip to Maple Leaf Town to join in the fun was somewhat asking for trouble.

I had originally wanted to admire the heroic figure of the Sword Saint who was said to have defeated the Demon King, and to observe up close this once-in-a-decade battle between man and dragon.

But who would have thought that as time went by, he would end up seeing himself as a prisoner with his life hanging by a thread.

As for those residents of Maple Leaf Town who had luckily escaped one disaster after another, when they thought about their destroyed homes and the torture and humiliation they would soon suffer at the hands of these hateful goblins, they felt so devastated that they could only shed tears silently.

Whether it is a giant dragon attacking the city or a monster invasion like the current one, as ordinary people, it seems that no matter what they do, they are just a weed that can be crushed at will. Their life and death all depends on the eyes of others.

As for Prince Grey, who looked a little shabby to outsiders, he was not as miserable as others imagined.

Since he has made preparations to come to Maple Leaf Town and intends to intervene in the battle between humans and dragons, this foreign prince who seems to be in high spirits on the surface has naturally been prepared for the possibility of some unexpected events.

At this moment, although he was temporarily captured by this group of goblin tribes that seemed extremely smart, Grey Joy was not as desperate as others.

Don’t forget, although Maple Leaf Town can be said to be completely wiped out now, they still need the existence of the Sword Saint as the last defense.

As long as this group of people can hold out until the legendary Sword Saint finishes off the Fiery Dragon Mother, then no matter how smart these goblins are, they will probably be unable to withstand a casual blow from the Sword Saint.

After all, even the giant dragon standing on top of the pyramid could not block the two swords of the Sword Saint, let alone these most lowly and despicable low-level monsters?

Grey Joy was not too worried about whether the Sword Saint, who was known as the first person in the Kingdom of Giorar, would come to rescue them.

First, he witnessed the sword saint’s heroic performance in resisting the dragon. She was furious at the dragon’s brutality and did not hesitate to use super-level sword skills to fight them.

This shows that she will not easily give up her responsibility to protect the people, and it is even more impossible for her to sit idly by and watch the last survivors of Maple Leaf Town.

Secondly, if even an experienced and capable adventurer like him could not escape the siege of the goblins, then the Second Princess of the Kingdom of Giorar – his future sister-in-law – would most likely not be spared either.

Therefore, in order to save Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Sword Saint will definitely come to the rescue.

In addition, as an important figure in the Kingdom of Giorar, the Sword Saint’s reputation and honor are closely linked to the country. If she turns a blind eye to the plight of Maple Leaf Town, it will not only damage her own reputation, but may also affect the image of the entire Kingdom of Giorar. Therefore, whether from personal feelings or national interests, the Sword Saint will try her best to rescue them.

In the end, Grey Joy believed that the Sword Maiden had enough strength and courage to face this challenge. After all, she was not called the first person in the Kingdom of Giorar for nothing.

And this is the lifeblood of this group of people.

However, thinking back on the actions of these goblins who were so smart that they didn’t look like monsters, as well as those archers who could be considered sharpshooters, a very bold idea quickly flashed through Grey Joy’s mind.

In terms of archery alone, how can ordinary monsters, even if they have been trained, compare to the elves who are naturally good at this?

Moreover, looking at the dark green figures mixed in with the goblin army, Grey Joy had to confirm his bold guess little by little.

This goblin tribe of unknown origin actually keeps a group of elves in captivity? !

The moment he thought of this possibility, Grey Joy realized why this army of goblins behaved so differently from the goblins they had encountered in the past.

I’m afraid that a terrifying heroic goblin was born in this mysterious goblin tribe!
