YM778.TV Chapter 74 - Last Minute
The tension was rising as they peered at the gates. The goblins are knocking non-stop against the gate. Cracks appeared on the walls and gate as the village seems to shook violently.
They gripped their weapons as they were armed to fire as soon as Akkar gave them the signal.
BAAANNNG!!!!
The gate broke with a thud. Goblins started to get sucked at the entrance like a flood. The remaining tanks and village guards formed a barricade, and blocked the goblins with their spears and shields. After fighting for a while with the villagers. The tank players got better in coordinating with them. But the goblin\'s charge was like stopping a massive tide. The goblins were entering the interior like an angry wave. They just stepped on the dead bodies and swung their weapons at them. It was total chaos in the area around the gate. The place was brimming with floating light particles from the dead goblins and humans.
"Block them!! Don\'t let them move further!!!" Hal ordered. He clenched his weapon and jumped on top of the wall to the middle of the enemy. He needs to take charge of the melee fighters. Since Akkar will focus on commanding their backline to attack at the right time.
The goblins in front of him were burning with a desire to kill him. But he didn\'t feel afraid. He experienced more terifying things in real life than this crazy goblins. And he prefers this excitement over listening to boring lectures every day.
"Aren\'t we going to attack yet?? If we don\'t attack now, we might die!!"
"But commander hasn\'t given the signal yet!!"
"Be patient!! Let\'s trust our commander!!" The range attackers on the roof did not move an inch yet. Even though their hands were itching to fire. Because they know that a single person\'s magic cannot change the tides of the battle. However, they were reaching the limits of their patience. Seeing their comrade dying one after the other, they are the ones who are dying next if they don\'t stop them now. Some were watching at the frontlines, and some were waiting for Akkar.
"A goblin has breached our front line kill it!!!" A panicking player shouted.
At that moment, the signal they were waiting for came. A tremendous roar was heard thundering across the village. The goblins turned towards the source of the sounds. It was an overwhelming sound that made them forget the enemy in front of them.
"FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
"FIRE!!!!!!!"
"FIRE!!!!!!!!!!"
"FIRE LIKE THERE\'S NO TOMORROW!!!"
The moment the signal they were waiting for thundered in their ears. A second was not even wasted as magics flew towards the goblins one after the other.
"Don\'t let them move further!!!" Kill them!!! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire like crazy!!!"
"Take cover!!!" Hal ordered as he grabbed a goblin\'s dead body and carried it over his head. They were already told beforehand that they would be sacrificed. Because someone needed to stop the goblin\'s charge, even for a few seconds. And they knew that they were the only ones who could do it.
Akkar did not force anyone to do it. They could have backed out if they wanted. But everyone around him chose to fight. Death is nothing to be afraid of since it\'s just a game. And they already have come this far. They won\'t accept losing against some goblins in a tutorial. They will do anything to win.
"Let\'s go out of the gates and run wild!!" Hal ordered as he saw a few of his comrades die from friendly fires. He never expected that focusing everyone\'s attack in one area will inflict so much damage. So instead of dying in the hands of their allies, they might as well die fighting against the goblins.
"LET"S GOOOOO!!!"
"FOR VICTORY!!!!
"OOORRRAAAAAHHHH!!!!" The melee fighters raised their weapons, and clashed with the goblins outside the gate.
"Don\'t stop firing. Kill all of them!!" Elder Jin uttered as he drew back his bowstring. Goblins kept crawling in the gate, even though their kin were dying in the front. They didn\'t retreat and kept charging at them like ants. The moment one goblin died, another followed behind without a change of expression.
Elder Jin was fast. He loaded arrows one after the other without taking any break. They killed and killed for the survival of the village. Everyone repeated the same task like they were toys. But there was no such thing as repeated failures.
A rain of magics and arrows enveloped the sky. Soon a black light covered the earth, making the goblins fall down like dominoes.
"Will he be okay??" Elise uttered as she healed a village guard who managed to retreat before the gate was bombarded with attacks. She was worried about how Hal jumped in the middle of the enemy without any hesitations. Even though she had just known him earlier. He seems to be a charming and courageous kid resembling her brother, he just needs more time to grow.
"He won\'t... it\'s the last minute... at this point, they can\'t retreat... our attack can\'t stop for even a single second, or it will be the end for all of us." Akkar answered as he threw a dagger with an explosive potion in it. So that he can at least help kill some goblins even if he is commanding in the backline.
He could see the brilliant light of his swords moving between the goblins. The enemy went flying all over the place. He uttered in a laughing tone. "If he dies, I\'ll teach him a lesson. But if he survives, I\'ll give him a reward. I did give him my armor, so he should last a little longer if he does not do anything reckless." He gave his armor to Hal when he saw that he didn\'t have any armor on him when they rested. And since his armor is also on the verge of breaking, he decided to give it to him. He\'s not going to fight on the frontline anyway.
Her dagger flew through the airand barely grazed the head of his target. Hitting the goblin behind it instead, her aim sucks but it doesn\'t matter with how clumped up the goblins are.. She took another dagger on her inventory and chuckled as she said. "Should I also teach him something??"
