60 Chapter 60:Bloody Goblins.
“Human…Huma…..Human….”
“Kill…Kill….”
The goblins roared seeing Alex and his men and shouted the battle cry as if they were going to a party with humans.
While Alex shouted, “Shoot.”
Alex ordered and jumped forward towards the goblin while the soldiers behind him started to fire arrows while the rangers provided additional backup.
While arrows were able to kill three goblins, Alex took hold of the reins and charged forward while unsheathing the sword from the waist.
Taking out the sword, he slashed at the goblin holding the old rusty sword.
The goblin followed Alex’s notion and swung his sword at him.
CLANG!
A metal clashing sound echoed and a piece of sword flew in the air.pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
In front of Alex, the rusty and punny sword was cut apart and Alex’s sword directly went past the goblin’s chest and decapitated his upper half with his swing.
Blood splattered on his sword and his face which irritated Alex a bit.
“Disgusting.” Alex cursed and clicked his tongue and wiped his face, he jumped toward the other goblin and kicked it.
A goblin jumped on Alex and thrust his claws at Alex who seemed to have lowered his guard.
However, the goblin’s assumption soon proved wrong and Alex spun his body and avoided the incoming claws and kicked the goblin’s torso lightly with enough force to make the goblin trip down and lose his balance.
With this, he swung his sword and slew the goblin’s head.
More goblins started to surround Alex and seeing Alex’s life in danger, his soldiers were about to rush ahead but they were stopped by Alex.
One of the goblins jumped from behind but Alex ducked the blow and hit the goblin with his elbow.
The goblin spit blood and flew back with a broken jaw and teeth. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ
Alex took the hold of the opportunity and swung his sword while he dashed towards the group of goblins and reaching near them he slashed his sword fiercely.
Swish…Swish…..Swish…
The faint rustling sound of tearing the air was heard as Alex’s sword danced across the small war zone and cut the goblin into pieces.
The last remaining goblin swung his rusty sword in one hand and swung it down at Alex.
Alex just raised his sword to defend.
CLANG!
A loud screeching sound of metal rubbing against each other rang.
The goblin swung his sword from all around trying to pierce through Alex’s defence but Alex didn’t move an inch in front of the fierce attack.
The goblins sword was sharp and fast but it lacked control, finally getting bored. Alex swung his sword and deflected the sword and stabbed his sword right into a goblin’s heart. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
THUD!
The body of the goblin fell to the ground with a large thud as Alex pulled back his sword.
[You have killed a mid squire ranked goblin. You have gained 100 experience points.]
Alex shook away the notification, these were the stronger ones and Alex took them head-on so his gang may save some strength.
He had three more locations to take care of today.
“Let’s go to the next location,” Alex shouted.
….
Unlike the previous ones, the next location was dyed with the blood of people.
The ground was soaked with blood and the mud shabby houses were destroyed.
Many corpses were lying on the ground and were left in the open to rot. Alex bent down and took a pinch of blood.
The blood had slightly coagulated but still, it hadn’t hardened which means it had been 3 to 4 hours since the massacre happened.
Alex closed his eyes and joined his hands to offer a short prayer for the people dying here and wished their souls to rest in place in eternity.
As Alex opened his eyes, it was sharp and filled with an eternal coldness which sent a chill down the spine of the observer.
“I will go ahead and take a look. Meanwhile, dig a grave and put them in it. It isn’t good to leave the corpses in the open. It will attract monsters from the forest.”
Alex found that there were 22 dead on the site and a trail of blood led to the outside.
Alex scanned for any living survivors with his mana sensor but there were none. Either these were the only people along with the ones the goblin may have taken or the rest of them had already evacuated.
Alex followed the trail slowly with light footsteps so that the goblins didn’t get alerted of his presence and ran away.
With light footsteps, Alex leaned on the side of the tree as he traced their presence and looked at them.
There were three goblins of disciples ranked and they had their heads inside the corpse of a human and a monster beside.
It was the ugliest thing Alex had seen both in this and his previous life. Though Alex felt saddened seeing the scene, he didn’t pity the humans after all it was the law of nature, survival of the fittest.
And the deeds of the goblins didn’t differ much from humans who hunt beasts and monsters to eat.
Alex’s image blurred and a light cracking sound of ground was heard as Alex pressed forward leaving behind his footprints and he swung his sword to give a surprise attack on the disciple ranked goblin
The disciple ranked goblin felt someone’s approach and stood up from his place and turned back to defend but he was too late to notice and Alex slashed and tore the goblin by splitting it apart.
The other goblins were shocked to see the sudden appearance of the enemy and jumped on him but Alex kicked one of them and sent it flying against the tree and slashed at the other one and killed it.
The remaining goblin ran back trying to escape as he clearly felt that Alex was stronger than him.
Alex was about to give it a chase when he heard the crackling sound of fireworks making him frown.
