Chapter 321: preliminary encounter
Upon entering Viscount Danton’s territory, the destination of the quest request, the situation was different from the initial information.
The allied forces of adventurers and territorial soldiers who had been fighting the goblin general and his army in the Viscount Danton territory had been pushed back by the force of the goblin general and his army.
Even from a distance, black smoke could be seen rising from various places, indicating that the battle was not going well.
“I've been to Viscount Danton's territory before, and I believe there was a village at the foot of the mountain where that smoke was rising. If that is burning, it looks like the goblins are pushing us back.”
One of the D-rank team members, who had been riding in the same carriage with Tauro and the others, looked at the black smoke from inside the carriage and informed everyone of the situation.
“Oh? The carriage with the B-rank team in front of us has increased its speed. It seems that they too have sensed that the situation is getting dire.”
Ankh leaned forward to inform Tauro and the others of the situation.
“I’d like to get out of this mountain road as soon as possible. ...... Ah, there are many signs of what appear to be multiple goblins ahead. ─ ─ Sir, it is better to stop the carriage here.”
Ad
Tauro called out to the driver of their carriage and asked him to stop. The carriage running behind them also stopped accordingly.
The carriage in front did not stop and advanced a little, but finally stopped when it realized that goblins were ahead of it and blocking the way.
"Looks like that team's search system is inferior to Tauro's."
Aeris, remembers to be sarcastic, as she dismounts from the carriage.
“It’s because Tauro’s search skills are excellent, you know.”
Ragune praised the leader of her team.
“Until I was able to enhance it, I was inferior in terms of range when it came to my enemy search abilities.”
Tauro replies with a bitter smile when he can see that everyone is rooting against the “Silver Goblin Hunters” team.
“The guys in front of us seem to have rushed into battle right away. Let’s hurry up too!”
Ankh said, and with his agility enhanced by his magic-modified armor, he was the first to head for the front.
Ragune, not to be outdone, follows suit.
Ad
Above all, it was Tauro who followed at a speed that would not be outdone.
Although his stamina and physical strength were greatly enhanced by the magically modified armor, his agility was also greatly raised by the plain 'Hero's style'.
As a basic ability that the heroes of the dragon people learn at the beginning, it may not have been a big deal for the dragon tribe, but in fact, "Hero’s Style" was quite an excellent ability that greatly raised the level of basic abilities.
Tauro himself was surprised that he was able to keep up with Ankh and the others, this was the first time he ran at full speed.
“Everyone is fast, but I’m going to do what I can.”
Aeris, who was behind, did not panic, but stopped and cast a spell to create a ward around the area to avoid monsters around the carriage.
By doing this, the enemy will hesitate to rush in.
Then, immediately, she cast agility-enhancing magic in the order of Ankh first, then Ragune.
Ankh, Ragune, and Tauro, who were the first to join up with the “Silver Goblin Hunters” team, check the number of enemies while attacking.
The goblin mage was leading the goblins in a formation of 50 goblins, 10 hobgoblins, and 1 goblin mage.
Ad
The “silver goblin hunters” spotted this and aimed at the goblin mage to break up the chain of command, but a hobgoblin with a shield blocked their arrows and magic.
“Dang! These guys are pretty smart. Watch out for the mage’s magic and sweep away the small fry first!”
Hulk, the leader of the B-team, instructs his companions.
The next moment.
A ray of light passed by the B-team, the “Silver Goblin Hunters,” shaking the atmosphere.
Then, an arrow pierced the head of the goblin mage who was hiding in the back and giving orders, piercing and blowing away several goblins in the line of fire of the light and the hobgoblins who were holding shields.
The leader, Hulk, with his eyes wide open, confirmed the moment the mage was finished off, and immediately turned to look back in the direction from which the arrow of light had come.
There, the leader of the “Black Golden Wings, Tauro, was standing with his bow.
While everyone was stunned by this scene, Ankh and Ragune rushed into the enemy and cleared the goblins as if they were mowing grass.
Ankh, in particular, swung his great magic sword at a hobgoblin, cutting it down with one sword and the hobgoblin’s wooden shield with the other, and then cutting down the next one with the returning blade.
The members of team “Silver Goblin Hunters” was stunned by this feat.
Then, as if as a coup de grace, Aeris’s lightning magic range attack choked most of the goblins in an instant.
Ragune, as well as Ankh, pushed and killed the remaining hobgoblins and goblins, annihilating them all.
Thus, the preliminary skirmish ended with the overwhelming success of “Black Golden Wings”.
“Ugh, it's just as the rumors say, isn't it? But don't get me wrong. The goblin general is a C rank target level. That one will not be so easy to kill unless we, the B-rank “Silver Goblin Hunters,” are there to do it.”
Ad
The leader, Hulk, was surprised at the success of Tauro and his team, but he was determined that this was not the place for them to be active.
“Of course. We are not so naive. Don't worry, we'll take care of the debris until you get to the Goblin General."
Tauro answered honestly, but Hulk did not take it that way.
“Hmm! Next time, we'll be the experts, and we'll at least go through the preparatory work. Now don’t get in our way!”
Perhaps sensing the irony of Tauro’s attitude, Hulk professed that they would show their seriousness in the next battle.
There are really a lot of enemies, so I just want to keep the B-team alive...
Tauro thought inwardly , and could do nothing but smile wryly
