《blood tax》Chapter 49 Griffith Battle Group

"Help!" Sonia cried. But she was answered by more intense screams not far away. The fleeing crowd was already in trouble.

Rana ran into five or six goblins head-on. He was startled, and instantly killed three with his sword, but more enemies attacked from behind, grabbed Fiona's waist-length hair hiding behind him, and dragged her to the depths of the garden. go with.

Rana hurriedly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into a goblin's eye socket, then grabbed an axe and swung it to rescue Fiona. But as soon as he turned around, he was hit hard on the back of the head.

Rana only felt his eyes blink, and immediately fell to the ground. Before he could stand up again, several sharp knives stabbed into his body. The other Shutorals who were present resisted like crazy, but immediately fell to their knees amid the siege from all sides.

Not far away, Sonia's delicate face was cut open by the surrounding bushes, but the goblin who grabbed her didn't care.

Suddenly, Sonia realized that the power to hold her had disappeared, and then came the sound of grass and trees. A hand rested on her shoulder and helped her up from the bushes.

"Quick, follow me!" Galadia grabbed two crude daggers from somewhere, grabbed Sonya's hand and ran to the outside.

"What about everyone?"

"There's nothing left for everyone!" Galadia knocked down the two goblins who rushed over with lightning speed, "The mountain monster called the police just now was a trap to lure us out, and the others were either caught or surrounded. The road to the main castle is full of ambushes, and we have to run outside."

"Ming...Understood," Sonia hurriedly followed, "We hide along the outer city wall, where it is not easy to be ambushed, and we can meet Griffith as soon as possible."

"If he's still alive," Galadia clenched her teeth, "this idiot might be the first to be attacked."

...

Brownie No. 2887 hid in a dark corner, watching the small group of freshmen left by the goblins siege, with a gleam of wisdom and restraint in his distinctive eyes, not like a humble familiar at all. The apprentice knights who protected them were only wearing half-length mail at most, and had already fallen several times during the siege. Two goblins dressed as shaman stood beside it, silent like stone statues.

Under his control, a large group of goblins had already captured several freshmen who had escaped from the library, and it was rare that they had not violently attacked the girls on the spot.

"Shaman, take a team of warriors to intercept the two escaping prey," No. 2887 found Galadia and the others, and immediately dispatched pursuers, "The others took the existing prey and retreated."

"But there are still humans resisting," objected a goblin shaman. "The warriors will take them soon."

In the middle of the garden, Minerva's freshmen had dispersed into small circles after the head-on, resisting with the various spells at their disposal. Under the command of one or two cores, they made the nearby ground greasy or muddy, released fireballs to scorch or gave life to vines to attack the goblins, so that the number of goblins far outnumbered them.

"There is no time, the counterattack of mankind is imminent," No. 2887 shook his head and said, "A bird in the hand is better than a hundred in the forest."

...

Sonia stumbled over the floppy robe and threw a thud on the icy rock. Behind them, a group of goblins had chased after them.

Galadia took off her academy robe, bent down and grabbed the hem of her long skirt and ripped it apart, revealing her legs in white stockings.

I can't run away... If I was alone, Galadia could easily get rid of the pursuers. But Sonia was so exhausted that it was hard to hold on any longer.

"Galladia, run away!" Sonia took off her school robe that was in the way while panting.Picking up a stone and holding it in his hand, he glanced decisively at the deep darkness under the cliff, "I won't let them catch me."

"That's not possible," Galadea turned to hold Sonia's head, hid her behind a broken boulder on the city wall, and covered the two's robes over her, "My battle needs to constantly change positions, You wait here. If they catch you, don't resist, I'll be back soon to save you."

Having done all this, Galadia pulled out the two captured daggers and dexterously jumped up the city wall.

"Jie Jie Jie!" The shaman who led the team immediately noticed the elf's movements and immediately chased after him.

"Trees, hear my call,

"Vine, in response to my voice,

"I affirm,

"The enemy in front of you is the enemy of nature!"

Galadia jumped up towards the inner side of the city wall. Below her, a lush tree opened its canopy to embrace her, and the thick vines on the trunk rushed towards the goblins like snakes.

Four or five goblins were immediately caught, and the remaining goblins swarmed down the broken city wall, rushing towards the elves coming down from the trees.

Galadia was the first to notice a distinctive cloaked goblin jumping out of the darkness. It flanked around with a shirtless goblin.

Is this guy any different? Galadia kicked one, then swung the dagger to block the cloaked goblin's dagger, and inserted the other dagger into its throat.

"Ouch!" The severely wounded goblin spit out a stench of blood at the elf.

Galadia hurriedly stepped aside. Suddenly, another goblin also wearing a cloak appeared behind the cloaked goblin, and she thought she had hallucinated in the same outfit.

The second cloaked goblin opened his bow and shot at the elf from a distance away. Galadia, who couldn't dodge in time, was shot in the shoulder, and hurriedly threw a dagger at the archer goblin, knocking it down from the air.

There was a sharp pain in Zhongjian's shoulder, which was amplified by his sharp touch. Before she could be surprised by the cooperation of the goblins, a third cloaked goblin flashed from behind the slain companion.

No, it's not! How many are there! Galadia was shocked, her weapons had been used up, and she didn't know how to defend against the enemy for a while.

The third cloaked goblin smashed the elf with a wooden stick, hitting Galadia hard on the shoulder. Her arm was dislocated on the spot, and she fell to her knees with a scream.

Acute perception amplifies pain. Galadia was in severe pain, and subconsciously raised her hands to protect herself.

The goblins didn't have any thoughts of pity and cherishing jade, and smashed her with a wooden stick. The wooden stick hit Galadia's hand for the first time, and then it splattered blood on her pretty forehead. Several goblins followed and threw at her with sticks and stones.

Galadia was bruised and bruised by the torrential rain-like attack, and fell to the ground covered in blood. In the blurred vision, the goblin trapped by the vine had broken free and surrounded her from all directions.

"Help me~" Galadia struggled desperately to get up from the ground, but her hands were limp and unable to use her strength, and her mouth was full of bitter taste. What lingered in her mind was the tragic experience of the women she had seen in the goblin lair and the mage tower.

"Who can help me……"

The goblin holding a stick smirked and looked at his prey. The slender and beautiful elf fell to the ground without any resistance, and there was a mesmerizing scenery flowing between the forked skirts. The goblin reached out to the seductive scenery subconsciously.

"click~"

There was a sudden sound of broken bones in the darkness. A goblin on the outside fell to the ground with a broken neck.

Before its companions could react, a tall figure flashed past them. Two wielding sharp blades shaved off two heads.

Griffith rushed out of the darkness and rushed towards the goblin holding the club.

The frightened enemy hurriedly retracted his hand, and before it could adjust its posture, Griffith pierced its stomach with a sword and killed it.

At this moment, there was a crackling sound in the air, and an electric arc shot at the apprentice knight. Griffith, who had just repelled the enemy, accidentally faced each other, and both weapons were thrown out.

"Jie!" The goblin shaman pressed his hand on the staff made of dead wood and continued to chant to the apprentice knight. The remaining goblin warriors also rushed up from all directions.

"Electrical magic? Goblins have such a rare ability to cast spells?" Griffith was electrocuted until his whole body was blackened, and his hands and feet were burned in multiple places. He hurriedly threw a dagger at the enemy, then took advantage of the situation to grab a goblin who was pounced and twisted its neck.

Although Shutoral has good magic resistance, with only one person, Griffith can't block the enemy's spell casting, nor can he completely avoid damage.

If the goblin shaman's thunder and lightning attacks are left unchecked, he may be paralyzed to the ground at most with one more hit.

Griffith swung the captured goblin like a wooden club, knocking over the two enemies who came up to him. At the same time, he stared at the shaman's mouth, watching the thunder and lightning gather on the staff.

It's too late to wait for the lightning to take shape.

Mantras tend to have long syllables at the end.

As the shaman recited an inexplicable incantation, a section of electric light exploded. But Griffith first threw the goblin corpse in his hand towards the shaman.

"Cuckoo!" The shaman exclaimed, watching helplessly as the corpse collided with his staff, and then the electric light exploded and swallowed himself.

"Bi-ka!"

A bright light startled all the creatures present. By the time the light faded, the goblin shaman had fallen to the ground covered in smoke.

The injured goblin shaman tried his best to push away the corpse that was on him, trying to break free. Just then, a foot stomped heavily on its chest.

"Can you speak human language?" Griffith, who had killed all the goblins present, asked the shaman who had only half his life left. There were too many suspects in tonight's attack, and he needed to know as much as he could.

"Stupid... a lackey!" The shaman spit out human words clearly and said viciously.

"Who sent you here, and who is the commander?" Griffith stepped on it hard, and the shaman's blackened face became even more distorted.

"To, to this..."

"What did you say?" Griffith reduced his power slightly, wanting to hear what the shaman was saying.

"To this illusory world...

"Initiate - Rebellion!"

The clear words were like thunder, and Griffith jumped like a rabbit stepping on a trap.

The goblin shaman ripped off a string of beads from his waist with all his might, and the violent flames quickly devoured it and the goblin warrior's corpse, turning it into a flaming fireball.

...

"Goblin shaman set himself on fire? Is there such a thing?" Ophelia, who was fully armed, raised her eyebrows.

By her side, all the first-year Cytolars were fully armed. Although they came to support and rescued many people at the first time, seven girls were still kidnapped, including Sonia who was hiding on the city wall.

Rana who resisted the goblins and the other Shutorals were seriously injured and unconscious, and Galadia also suffered serious injuries.

Griffith took the shield and spear handed by Midianmaia, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out: "They can't run fast with their captives, we are now chasing in armor, and now we are going."

Associate Professor Veronos who led the team has taken over the command and rescue of the scene, and arranged the treatment of the injured. He silently glanced at the neatly lined sixteen first-year Thutoral: "The number of professors is too small, and this manpower is only enough to strengthen the defense, and only you are the ones pursuing. I have informed the school, Lordes. Professor and Ranger Kroger will be here soon to support you.

"Remember your Defense Against the Dark Arts course, the danger in the Whispering Forest doesn't come only from the enemy in front of you."

Strong support from the school will arrive soon, but that is a goblin, and every minute counts in the current situation.

"Understood," Griffith nodded, turned to the Cytolars and asked, "We are going now. Everyone, I ask for command, who has any objection, please raise it now?"

Everyone looked at Griffith with unquestioning eyes. Up to now, no one has shown the determination and bravery that surpassed his confrontation with the tentacle sea monster, and no one has just achieved a result of a mountain monster that is likely to be a Sequence 7 like him.

"Go!" Griffith said toward the dark forest, "Let these bastards pay for their folly!"

...

The goblin escaped into the jungle. They had no carts to transport their captives, and no smooth roads, so they could only carry them to flee among the rocks and tree roots.

All the Shutorals left their plate armour and marched in a hurry, all wearing only one layer of mail or leather, but carrying a shield and three piercing spears.

They lit the torches, crossed the ravines, stepped through the rocks and dense forests, followed the messy footprints left by the goblins, and chased towards the depths of the Whispering Forest.

"Is there a brownie among them?" Ophelia, who had two-colored eyes, hurried beside Griffith, checking the map from time to time to mark the reinforcements behind.

"Yes, unlike a normal brownie," Griffith said, "its identity may not be limited to the traitor who led the way. Judging from its demeanor and words, it may also be the commander of this attack."

"A brownie? What's the point of doing such a thing?" asked Miura behind.

No one could answer his question. The Shtorals express their ignorance with silence.

why? Griffith muttered in his heart. There is no crime without a motive.

After less than half an hour of rapid marching, Griffith suddenly raised his hand, and the entire team immediately stopped.

The fully-armed Cytoral quietly spread out to the sides and quickly entered the fighting position. Everyone tried their best to control their panting, hiding in the queue waiting for a signal.

Ophelia jumped up the treetops with a lithe posture, scouting forward. Originally, it was most appropriate for Galadia to be in charge of such matters, but she, like Rana, could not participate in the war.

Griffith followed Ophelia's direction and groped carefully.

Ahead of the dark road, the goblins were gathering on a flat grass. Behind them are the captured girls.

"There are more than three hundred, more than a hundred in armor, three shamans, four trolls, and a brownie you said," Ophelia said, returning to Griffith, "they don't use these girls. As a hostage and a meat shield, instead, you set up a formation, are you going to fight us in a dignified manner?"

"Goblins are still wearing armor?"

"Four trolls? How come there are four?"

Apparently someone in the team understood the habits of goblins and blurted out in surprise.

"They didn't run away separately or with all their strength." Midianmaia began to check everyone's equipment, and there was no time to find out why.

"You'll know when you go up and ask, and everyone will proceed as planned." Griffith nodded to everyone and walked out of the woods alone. Others quickly acted according to the arrangement.

On a flat black meadow, the goblins were lining up in a way that was incompatible with their chaotic temperament, spears in front, swords and shields in the back, flanked by slings, bows and a variety of weapons . Several banners made of rags, bones, and sticks were raised in the procession, and there were even drummers with war drums.

Among the densely packed dwarf creatures, there are four tall and strong burly bodies standing like reefs on the sea. That was the goblin troll that Griffith had encountered.

Hundreds of goblins lined up in a large square, almost filling the clearing in the forest.

The captured Sonia and other girls bowed their heads and were tied under the big tree behind without saying a word. Several goblins roamed nearby to prevent them from escaping.

"I'm Griffith Blanton, Captain II," Griffith shouted. "Commander of the goblins, say what you want."

The goblin team slowly parted a path from the middle, and a creature about the same height as them, but with brown skin and a much softer appearance, walked out.

Brownie 2887. The Brownie who led the attack on Griffith under the city walls.

This Brownie walked towards Griffith, who was fully armored, with his bare hands, standing in the middle of the two sides, calmly watching the apprentice knight under the shade of the tree. Six or seven armored goblins stood guard beside him.

Griffith glanced around, then sheathed his sword and walked towards Brownie with his shield in hand.

"I'm Gothra," Brownie 2887 nodded to the human, "used to be a handyman in Homonwarts Gardens."

Griffith looked curiously at the creature that was less than half his height: "Gothra, say your request, and hand the girls over to us safely."

"Okay," Gothra said slowly, "I ask for 10 Arcane Crystals from the Homonwarts Vault, 200 pounds of mithril, 20 ounces of fine gold, 400 servings of 15-day refined dry food, and only Fifteen brownies manned the Flying Leaf. I will keep the captives safe and dignified, and return them to you once aboard."

"Well." Griffith nodded and looked around.

complete nonsense...

This brownie called Gothra must have other intentions. Or is it taking such a big risk to set up such a conspiracy in order to get some arcane crystals and a sailboat that is impossible to escape the pursuit of Bayeran's fleet?

"Do you agree?" Gothra looked at the tall human.

"Yes, very fair price," Griffith said, "and I also put my conditions."

"Speaking."

"Return the captives immediately, and you will join me yourself," Griffith knelt down on his knees and looked at Gothra with equal eyes, "You will get a document notarized by the God of Contract, Homonwar. Z will not hold you for crimes and will give you freedom and wizard treatment. You will have your own brownie servant, separate bedroom, study, research equipment and perks, become Homonwarts' first brownie wizard or Enjoy life as a wizard."

Gosla tilted his head: "Does your promise work? Second-level squad leader."

"For the sake of seven noble girls, of course it works," Griffith nodded. "I said, you will get a written promise."

"And what about my compatriots?"

"Fellow?" Griffith looked at the goblins behind Gothra suspiciously, and decided not to bother with Gothra's statement, "Generally, they will be annihilated. But, if you wish, You can also let them go, and it is not difficult for them to live in this raving forest."

"Goblins made you bleed, and you still think Homon Watts will let them go?"

"Blood has been shed," Griffith stood up, looking over the Gothra and Goblin phalanxes, looking at the girls bound behind them, "but there is still room for recovery, isn't it?"

The faces of the goblin guards were expressionless. Unlike their vulgar counterparts, they didn't seem to care about anything, just staring at the humans a few steps away with indifferent and calm eyes.

"You're not what I expected," Gothra nodded. "I thought you'd laugh at Brownie as unworthy of his own name, and you'd suggest annihilating my compatriots on the spot after tempting me. Arrogant. I'm surprised you don't think that way as you humans are accustomed to not negotiate with us."

Griffith raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"If you're not a good liar," Gothra said, "then you probably see us as equals to you in your heart."

"Then..." Griffith waited curiously for Brownie's decision.

"I want to discuss with my compatriots," Gothra took a few steps back and came to his own goblin guards, "Please wait a moment, apprentice knight, we will reply you soon."

Griffith narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had turned into a silent rock.

Only the cold wind was carefully blowing between the two groups of hostile creatures, and a strange atmosphere was brewing on the cold and silent grass.

Suddenly, a series of bowstrings sounded from the back of the goblins' group. The goblins standing beside the girls were shot over four times on the spot. Ophelia jumped out with three Shutorals in light leather armor.

"Jie Jie Jie!" The Goblin Brigade immediately became agitated. Some of them wanted to turn around and run behind them, others just stood there and didn't know what to do.

Griffith, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, and his brows were like blades. He moved from stillness, his half-kneeling legs kicked to the ground, and his right hand on the scabbard on his left waist turned into a phantom.

The arc-shaped sword light flashed by, and the silent forest sounded an itchy tearing sound, and the air wailed.

The moment Gothra heard the sound of the strings, he rolled over in the direction of the great formation. The guards around him flew three or four heads at the same time, and blood spurted out.

Before the goblin armored guards could react, Griffith had already rushed into them, tearing them apart together.

The icy sword light of Ophelia and the others instantly killed all the guards near the hostages. Taking advantage of the negotiation time just now, they detoured to the back of the goblin queue, and suddenly launched an attack from the shadows.

"attack!"

"Central Breakthrough!"

In the woods, Shutoral was fully clothed and charged towards the Goblin Brigade in a formation of sharp arrows.

They trampled the ground and made a torrent-like tumbling noise, but no one screamed and ran over silently.

"Jie!" The goblin shaman held up a cloth flag with bones hanging on it. The three goblin giants in front of the square waved huge tree trunks. More than three hundred goblins stepped forward, beat their chests, and howled. towards humans.

A dozen flashes of cold light suddenly bloomed in the darkness. A series of dull cracking sounds sounded from the plump torso of the leading goblin troll. In an instant, the second round of cold light swept over like a star falling to the ground, tying the strongest of the goblins into hedgehogs.
