Hulk Hobgoblin!

Yas, who was standing beside Thorne, was shocked when he heard the challenge declaration from the Hobgoblin captain, his resolute face was unprecedentedly solemn, and there was a slight tremor in his voice:

"Thorn, the Hobgoblin tribe in Tranquil Forest was not completely wiped out by our combined Merikai Temple half a year ago, why did a new Hobgoblin tribe appear? What is the origin of this Hulk Hobgoblin, you do you know?"

The Hobgoblin is a very painful memory for every player and half-elf inhabitant in Waterfall Town, and no one is willing to take the initiative to mention it.

From Yas's anger-filled eyes locked on the Hobgoblin knight not far away, and the clear and eye-catching magic runes emerging from the long sword in his hand, it can be seen that he has a lot to do with the earth. Sublime hatred.

Moreover, when Ashmo, who was hiding in the bushes not far away and did not show up, noticed the Hobgoblin, he changed his lazy expression. He clenched his teeth, forcibly suppressed his rising and falling chest, and stretched out his hand to comfort him. Grumpy mixed-blood winter wolf.

"This is the Hulk Hobgoblin group. They originally lived in the Black Pearl Forest to the east of Winter City. Since they appeared here, they must have been expelled to the Forest of Tranquility because of an accident in Winter City not long ago. ." Thorne told Yass with a solemn expression.

The origins of the Heruk hobgoblins date back to the turbulent years of turmoil.

The Black Pearl Forest in the turbulent year is not the near-primitive forest now, but a construction golem factory built by the wizards of Winter City.

At that time, the Heruk Hobgoblin tribe was only the slaves of the wizards of Winter City. Due to the racial characteristics of the Hobgoblins, they were in line with the standards of the wizards. Therefore, these Hobgoblins domesticated by the wizards were mainly responsible for the construction. Constructed creatures are meticulously polished and assembled in a golem factory.

This master-servant relationship has been maintained until the Druid Order in the Emerald Garden unleashed the wrath of nature in the construction of the golem factory, and all the golem factories were reduced to ruins. regain your freedom.

Due to the pollution brought by the construction of the golem factory, the land there was covered with scars, so the three legendary druids chose to sacrifice themselves in order to completely purify the contaminated land, transforming into the soul of nature, and merging with the earth as a one.

In order to restore the vitality of the land and let it exude vitality again, the Hulk Hobgoblin turned to join the Druid Order in the Emerald Garden to help the Druids restore the natural appearance of this land together.

As a result, this peaceful situation continued until the ambitions hidden in the depths of the bloodline of the Heruk Hobgoblin were reawakened, and then they broke the covenant and attacked Winter City.

"This is a group of hobgoblins with their own heritage. The group of hobgoblins that attacked Pushang Town was a small tribe from the Hulk hobgoblin group."

Thorne recalled that when the sorceress Andrina and the half-elf leader mentioned the past about the Black Pearl Forest, the Hobgoblin Heruk who was mentioned incidentally, said slowly.

After the hobgoblins who invaded the town of Waterfalls were all wiped out half a year ago, he once inquired about the specific origins of these hobgoblins in the Merikai Temple, and learned that these hobgoblins traveled through the Shadowmoon Inner Sea by boat and came here from the Black Pearl Forest. Prepare to expand the outpost.

The current Heruk Hobgoblin is a tribe that even dares to attack Winter City. It has a heritage of more than 300 years. The ancestors have served the construction golem factory, allowing them to master some technology of constructing creatures.

Thorne doesn't think that the Hulk Hobgoblin can easily deal with today's Waterfall Town. The only hope now is that the Hulk Hobgoblin has been seriously injured when he attacked Winter City.

From the words of the hobgoblin captain, Thorne could tell that the Hulk Hobgoblin had completely occupied the Serene Forest.

This also means that the road to the city of Sept is blocked again. If you want to reopen the trade route, you must eliminate or completely expel the Heruk Hobgoblins entrenched in the Serenity Forest.

"I haven't met so many Hobgoblins for a long time. Since they are all of the same ancestor, it's just right, we will count the new hatred and the old hatred together!" Yass clenched the rune sword in his hands and whispered. .

Noticing how Yas was trying to suppress his anger, Thorne didn't stop him.

Half a year ago, the horde of goblins attacked Casshang Town, leaving indelible pain for almost everyone who survived, as did Yas.

His original occupation was Carlos' bodyguard, and he also mastered good fighting skills. Of the more than 50 disciples he had painstakingly cultivated, only thirteen survived after the battle. These people who have followed him all the year round , had already produced strong emotions, and the death of most of the disciples was still a big blow to him.

"Pay attention to safety, these Hobgoblin knights are all scouts in the tribe, and their strength should not be underestimated." Thorne reminded Yas kindly.

No matter where they are or what kind of intelligent race they are, as scouts or scouts of the tribe, their own strength is often very strong and comprehensive.

In particular, a race like Hobgoblin, which is managed by a military system, is particularly important to scouts, and their strength is also top-notch in the ethnic group. The challenge level is at least around the fifth level, with a second-order extraordinary level.

Take the town of Waterfall as an example, the role of Thorne and Ashmore in the town is similar to the existence of scouts, and this position is not something that ordinary ranger players can hold.

It does not have to be powerful, but it must have the ability to protect itself, as well as have a shrewd mind and calm judgment, as well as be proficient in concealment, stealth and survival in the wild, so it is said that the professional characteristics of a ranger are naturally suitable for being a scout.

In the face of the siege of the scouts from the Hobgoblin group, half a year ago, Thorne, who was the most comprehensive ranger in the player group, could only run away.

"Six months ago, I might have frowned when I saw them, but it's different now. Today, we will keep all the more than 30 hobgoblins here." Yas glanced at the hobgoblin knight, his eyes widened. Showing a deep disdain.

"I'm happy to accompany you!" Thorne heard the words, responded, and immediately moved his mind, and took the lead in launching the attack, only to see that his whole person was immediately wrapped in a cloud of shadow energy.

——“Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Walk!”

With the launch of Thorne's secondary move, his entire body was obscured by a cloud of shadow energy at a speed visible to the naked eye under the puzzled gaze of the Hobgoblin captain, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

As a low-level shadow hand teleportation move, although Thorne has the proficient "quick first attack" feature, there is still a certain delay in casting after this skill is activated, and its effect can only be reflected in the unexpected or undisturbed in the case of.

Just like at this time, when Captain Hobgoblin noticed something was wrong and was about to take corresponding measures, Thorne's teleportation skills had been cast.

A cloud of shadow energy appeared strangely in the center of the hobgoblins, and his figure quickly emerged from it.

- "Awesome momentum!"

In all the horrified eyes of the hobgoblins, the moment Thorne appeared, he mercilessly activated the special ability attached to the Bloody Challenger.

Immediately, a suffocating **** aura spread rapidly centered on the position where Thorne was standing, instantly suppressing all the unprepared Hobgoblin knights around him.

When the Hobgoblin knight who fought against Keke looked at Thorne in the center of the field, all his pale yellow eyes showed fear, and the warg below him also squatted on the ground and whimpered.

"Hurry up!"

The first person to react was the Hobgoblin captain, who hurriedly shouted to remind everyone.

But it was too late, the Demon Slayer Sword in Thorne's hand was already burning with raging flames.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Enhanced Skill): Sword of Red Lotus!”

The scorching fire wave swung violently from Thorne's hand along with the sharp dark red blade.

"Pfft!"

Immediately after that, the blood was evaporated by the flames, and the five Hobgoblin knights closest to Thorne were drawn with a fatal gap in the chest or abdomen. The black leather armor with red stripes looked like a sharp blade in front of the blade. Normal paper.

One of the Hobgoblins who tried to block it with his arm screamed, his strong and powerful arm was broken, and the blade was still able to disembowel him.

"call!"

The crack of weapons sounded from behind Thorne, the attack of the hobgoblins recovering from their trembling state.

Facing the attack behind him, Thorne was unmoved, but glanced at the hobgoblins in front of him who were seriously injured and mourning after their furs were ignited, and slashed to death a warg who was grinning at him with his sword, and then froze. Glancing coldly at the remaining warwolves.

Suddenly, under Thorne's fierce gaze, these cunning beasts became timid and did not dare to move forward. They kept whimpering, and their bodies slowly retreated. He ran on his feet and disappeared into the bushes and weeds of the wilderness.

Although the wolves like to be domesticated by the hobgoblins, this does not mean that their status is low. On the contrary, as long as the wolves feel a little mistreated or lack of food, they will turn around to deal with the rider, and when the rider dies , most of these cunning creatures run away from danger.

So whether Thorne is dealing with a gnoll or a hobgoblin riding a wolf, as long as he shows enough deterrence, these beasts who are strong and weak will choose to retreat, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble in battle.

At the same time, the four Hobgoblins behind Thorne simultaneously wielded long swords and curved swords, and slashed towards his back with a piercing sound, their hideous faces and the pointed yellow teeth in their big mouths. All show the madness and excitement of the Hobgoblins in the face of killing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just when the sharp blade was about to touch Thorne's body and tasted the blood, all the swords were offset by an almost invisible protective force field barrier, splashing slightly floating one after another.

In the daze that the four hobgoblins failed to attack, Thorne turned sharply, and the sharp blade mixed with the scorching fire wave struck again, the whimper of the four hobgoblins and the whimper of the worg fluctuated with each other.

Looking at the nine hobgoblin scouts who were killed by him in an instant fight, Thorne immediately turned his attention to the other hobgoblins who had already dispersed under the command of the hobgoblin captain.

It has to be said that the hobgoblin group, which is a militarized management, is indeed organized and disciplined. Even if Thorne launched a surprise attack and killed them by surprise, these hobgoblins did not show any panic under the command of the captain, but Dispersed neatly and orderly to the surroundings, keeping a certain distance from him.

Then five or six hobgoblins armed with bows and crossbows jumped off the Warg and hid in the hidden bushes, while the Warg guarded vigilantly.

The Hobgoblins holding long swords and curved-blade swords gathered together in groups of three or five. While comforting the irritable Warg, they raised the sharp blades in their hands to form a formation of mutual attack and mutual acceptance, ready to launch violent attacks at any time. rush.

"Kill me!"

The Hobgoblin captain riding on the back of the Warg raised the steel sword in his hand and roared.

Immediately, with the sound of sparse arrows breaking through the air, the remaining dozen or so hobgoblins who rode warwolves roared and greeted Thorne and Yass.

It can be seen from the fact that the Hobgoblin captain did not choose to retreat under the deterrence of so many orcs and Thorne's attacks. It can be seen that the crow that disappeared just now must have gone to the Serene Forest to rescue soldiers, so the Hobgoblin scouts this place. All he had to do was to hold Thorne and the orcs down until the reinforcements arrived.

"Clang clang!"

Thorne easily removed a few galloping arrows and glanced at the approaching orc players. He didn't care about communication for the time being, but locked his eyes on Captain Hobgoblin.

——“Shadow Hand School (Enhanced Skill): Shadow Cloak!”

With the launch of Thorne's Shadow Hand Movement, a cloud of shadow energy quickly surrounded him, and then made his entire body disappear without a trace.

Seeing Thorne's disappearance, the dense runes on the long sword in Yas's hand also burst into bursts of magical aura.

——“Three-ring Spell: Dimensional Step!”

Under the surging aura of magic, his body disappeared strangely in place and appeared among the hobgoblins. Then, under the guidance of the rune blade in Yas's hand, scorching flames and crackling lightning suddenly appeared.

The spells that he had stored on the blade for a long time also erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations at the same time. With the sharp blade, the sound of the slaughtering of the sharp blades and the screams of the goblins continued one after another.

On the other side, Ashmore and the half-blooded Winter Wolf, who were hiding in the bushes and were not found, saw Thorne and Yas's attack, and also launched an attack.

However, his target of attack was those Hobgoblin crossbowmen who were also hiding in the shadows.

——“One ring of magic: entanglement!”

With the unicorn holy emblem in Ashmo's hand surging with the breath of natural energy, a goblin archer who focused on frontal shooting was unknowingly **** by crazy vines.

"Ow!"

When Ashmer drew out the two long swords behind his back to attack the entangled hobgoblins, his animal companion, the half-blooded winter wolf, greeted the warg guarding the hobgoblin archer with a cold breath.

A fight unfolds in the thick bushes...
