Chapter 474 The duke’s visit (15)
But these goblins were no match for Cecilia and her formation.
They just ran right into the spikes that were protruding out of the ground while having arrows rain down on them. The ones that were able to make it through all of this reached Cecilia and her knights only to be cut down by their mithril swords.
In a sense, they were charging right into the meat grinder and they didn't care.
It really was strange why they were doing all of this…
That is until there was a roar that rang out.
When everyone looked in the direction of this roaring, they found that it was a Goblin General that came out.
With the way that the goblins looked at this Goblin General in fear, it should be that this Goblin General was forcing the goblins to charge without care for their own lives.
But it didn't make sense…
Why would the Goblin General treat its subordinates like this?
There was nothing for the Goblin General to gain from doing something like this.
Still, the fact that the Goblin General was here meant that the situation had changed.
Regardless of what reason it had, that wasn't the main concern right now.
The main concern was the fact that there was a Goblin General here and it was clearly targeting them. If they didn't take care of this Goblin General, there was no telling what it would do.
So Cecilia left a few of her knights to keep cutting down the goblins while she focused on the Goblin General.
The situation was different from a few months ago where she was barely able to fight against this Goblin General. She had undergone fierce training and had gained a new set of mithril weapons.
With her new abilities, she would be able to take down this Goblin General.
Not to mention that she was charging with her knights who had also become stronger.
Together, they would be able to easily take down this Goblin General.
It was just too bad that the Goblin General was…just a distraction.
As soon as Cecilia led her group of knights to charge at the Goblin General, when everyone's attention was attracted by this Goblin General…there were arrows that suddenly flew through the air,
These arrows flew straight and true, landing right on the carriage before suddenly bursting into flames.
With these arrows being shot at from different directions, this carriage was instantly lit on fire. There was no stopping it as the carriage was suddenly covered in flames.
In no time at all, there was only the burnt carcass of a carriage lying there on the ground.
Cecilia and her knights had swerved around the Goblin General and had tried to come back to the carriage, but they were too late.
The Goblin General didn't hesitate to charge at Cecilia and her knights when it saw them running away.
It stomped on several of the goblins that were in front of it, crushing them without any hesitation.
One could even feel sorry for these goblins as they didn't deserve such a fate, if only they weren't goblins.
However, once the Goblin General had gotten too far and isolated itself from the rest of its group, Cecilia and her knights suddenly turned around.
The Goblin General wasn't able to keep up with the horses that they were riding, so it could only raise its arms to block the attacks that came from Cecilia and her knights.
Unfortunately for the Goblin General, Cecilia and her knights all had the mithril swords.
They had no problem cutting through the thick muscles of the Goblin General and in no time at all, the Goblin General was covered in cuts as it fell to its knees. The Goblin General did all it could to try and stand up, but it was no use at all.
It just couldn't do anything as it fell forward, bleeding out from all of the wounds that had been inflicted on it.
As the Goblin General fell, Cecilia couldn't help looking at the Goblin General with a complicated look.
In the past, this had been a powerful monster that had caused her a lot of trouble.
But after months of training and new equipment, she was able to take it down easily with her knights.
She really didn't know how to feel about this, but there was a part of her that did feel pride. There was also a part of her that was satisfied knowing that her training hadn't been in vain.
But she quickly suppressed this as she turned in a specific direction.
She knew that this wasn't over yet.
It wasn't the goblins that were the problem, but rather the ones that had fired the arrows.
Cecilia just left a few knights to deal with the remaining goblins while she led the rest of them to find those that had shot the arrows.
When she climbed up the cliff, she found that there was already a fierce battle that was happening here.
It was a battle between the elves led by Moon and a few cloaked figures that were trying to escape.
These cloaked figures didn't use any special techniques, only shooting arrows at Moon and her elves. However, when one looked closely, they could see that there was a faint green energy coming from their bows.
It was clear that they were capable of using magic, but they were holding themselves back.
When these cloaked figures saw Cecilia's group, even though their expressions couldn't be seen, it was clear that they recognized that they were in danger.
So they no longer held back.
These cloaked figures started using magic, casting all kinds of different spells at Cecilia and Moon's group.
