The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 34 - Battle in the Grasslands
Milis meadow, west of the Selias mountains, the former Kingdom of Rena.
The view is pretty boring.
Crackling in all directions. Occasionally a tree that stands alone in the middle of the vastness of this meadow.
In the East there are Selias mountains that divide the kingdom of Rena into 2.
Although the view is boring, Eric is still excited about himself.
"Huh?! Why did I become a PK?!"
"I told you, Chris forgot to put you on the war list. Besides, doesn't that mean your goblin just killed a player out there?" Obviously Elin.
"But I don't want any of this!" I shouted as I reached for the red name above my head.
"Just relax, I'll include this incident as an additional bill for Chris." Elin replied with a sly smile that was clearly drawn on her face.
'Damn Chris, he didn't tell me about this at all! I'll definitely charge you all this you know!'
After being content to shout inwardly, I regained my composure in the face of the great battle before me.
15 thousand soldiers. A very terrible number. Moreover, this battle took place in the grasslands, giving their mounted Knights an absolute advantage.
According to the goblin reconnaissance that I have sent, the number of their cavalry is at least 3 thousand, with archers as many as 3 thousand and the rest are pedestrian soldiers.
Then what about me?
40 thousand goblins.
Yes, the number has increased by 4x during the 3-day journey to this Milis grassland.
The cause is very simple. Elin contacted Chris through the messaging feature and asked for more full mana potion. The result Chris sends 600 full mana potion through the transaction feature. Yeah, although it's going to bankrupt Chris financially but I don't care anymore. Who left me alone to continue this war?
Honestly speaking, Elin wanted to hide this army of goblins in order to give them an impromptu attack. However, due to his extremely unsupportive battleground, Elin decided to face them head-on.
A few moments later a notification appeared in front of me.
...［Player : Chris has added you as a participant in the Salvation Guild Rebellion battle against the Merchant Federation!］...
...［Now you will not receive a penalty after killing another player!］...
'Damn, it's too late Chris!'
It seems that the cause of this situation is Elin. He immediately contacted Chris about the registration of war participants for me and himself.
In this way, Elin was able to take part in the fight. What is clear is that his presence will be able to reverse this bad situation.
When I looked at Elin, she had changed all the Equipment she was wearing.
The clothes that were previously only clothes with red and black patterns, have now been changed into thin silver armor but still provide strong defense.
In both of his hands was a glowing blue dagger.
Yeah, that's what Elin looks like when she's serious about fighting. After all, Elin was an Assassin type with level 138!
［Crystal Dagger +6］
Rarity: Unique
Attribute :
Attack Power 1680
Attack Speed: + 65%
Agility :+ 20%
That was the dagger ability used by Elin. In terms of attack power is not too high. But the other effect of this dagger is what makes Elin able to shine as an Assassin.
High attack speed. Increased Agility.
Combined with Elin's ability as the owner of Mana Authority and Observer, he would be the worst nightmare for anyone.
The ability to see the weaknesses of each opponent.
Plus the ability to increase the regeneration speed where hers become super fast or deplete the mana belongs to the enemy.
'I didn't expect to face a monster like Elin, Chris' group even cornered him unilaterally.' That's what came to my mind.
After everything was ready, I lined up the entire goblin neatly.
Their equipment is very limited because the fight happened suddenly by Chris' request. But my hope is that I can win this battle with my superiority in numbers.
...***...
"Fucking goblins! Why are they so much more numerous! What the scout troopers are doing!" Shouted Burner looking at this situation.
"They are just a bunch of lowly monsters! In front of our cavalry, they will all be level with the ground! Prepare all the troops!"
And so it was, the Federation of Traders chose to take an attacking position.
3 thousand horsemen in heavy armor lined up neatly. They also held very long spears. The entire body of the spear was made of wrought iron which looked extremely sturdy.
The Players who were on the Merchant Federation side were horrified to see that cavalry.
"Yes-that's right! They're all above level 60?!" Shouted one of the players.
The riding knights were an elite army of the Merchant Federation.
After receiving the cue, they drove very fast to storm the line of goblins that amounted to 40 thousand.
The entire Knight seemed to be very confident in facing this situation. As if they would not lose.
Their defeat in the forest on the ambush of goblin troops purely due to the limitations of the battlefield in the form of a dense forest. Moreover, the attacks from all directions by the goblins complicated the movement of the Horse Knights.
However, if the battlefield is a meadow that does not have many obstacles and a flat terrain....
Everything was decided at the time General Burner gave his cue.
Hundreds, even thousands of goblins died instantly as the horse with the huge body trampled them like trash. The Knights' long spear pierced through the goblin's body like a piece of paper.
Everything's flat.
After breaking through the ranks of the goblin's army, the knight cavalry quickly moved away from the goblins to prepare for the next attack.
Only 1 attack.
According to Elin, at least 10 thousand goblins had died.
Victims on the Knight's side riding?
Can be counted on the fingers.
Yes, this was the true difference in strength between the trained human warriors and the horde of recently summoned goblins.
I who saw this incident felt very horrified. My eyes opened wide as if I could not believe what was happening in front of me.
"Si-sialan! Bukankah mereka terlalu kuat!" Teriakku pada Elin.
"Although a flat battleground is an absolute advantage for the cavalry, but I still did not expect that they would be this strong. I think being able to kill some of them is a miracle in this situation." Obviously Elin.
Elin who from earlier was still standing next to me along with the 2 Goblin Warior and the 2 Goblin Shaman kept paying attention to the current of this battle.
After a while, Elin reopened her mouth.
"We've certainly lost here, Eric. Let's step back." Elin continued calmly.
"Mu-retreat?! What about the goblins?!"
"They will give us time to leave this place. If only Alice were still on our side, maybe the result would be a little different."
Alice. If only He were here, his teleportation magic would definitely be of great help. But it is useless to expect help from nothing.
"You guys.... Are you willing to fight for me?" I asked the 4 evolved goblins.
I began to realize by looking at the ability of the cavalry. Victory in this battle is impossible.
"We will gladly offer our lives for you, young Master and Miss." Goblin Shaman answered with great respect.
"Go away from this place, my lord. The rest leave it to us!" Shouted the Warior Goblin as it struck his muscular chest.
"Well, if so, thank you very much...."
I replied with a limp body. I never thought the result would be like this.
"Let's go Eric! I saw every knight riding it had a level above 60. Even if you ask me, I am only able to handle 20 of them simultaneously. If it's more, I'm sure I'll lose." Obviously Elin.
Hearing this I began to understand the horror of the situation and immediately followed his advice.
'Damn it! Goddamnit! Why is it like this!'
