Chapter 189 Pincer Attack, and the Strange Goblin Under the command of the king, four battalions of elven warriors were sent to fight the five thousand goblins who had recently defeated their troops. The goblins were fast and nimble. They also had superior numbers and knew how to use weapons. However, they had a major flaw. They didn't know how to use the most basic battle formations. Their formation was a mess, so King Garandel planned to use a pincer attack, with two battalions attacking each flank. This was to isolate the goblins and prevent them from escaping during the battle. We must succeed! King Garandel's eyes flashed with a glint. Losing wasn't an option. "Your Majesty, it is the signal!" Elder Dahon pointed at the burning arrow that was shot into the sky. It was the signal from the other side. Once the arrow would explode, the four battalions would charge. With a serious expression, Garandel watched the arrow continue to rise into the sky. In the next moment, the arrow reached its peak and exploded with a 'bang'. Bang! "Now!" Shouted King Garandel as he kicked his horse, urging it to move forward. Elder Dahon raised his weapon, a massive broadsword, and shouted to the troops. "Attack!" Under their leadership, an army of two thousand elven warriors charged with unstoppable force, causing the ground to tremble. "Kill those filthy goblins and do not let them escape!" Shouted Garandel as he took out his spear. "Kill the goblins!" The elven warriors echoed his words. Their resonating battle cries scared some of the goblin warriors. The unease made them unable to react preemptively. The elves took the opportunity to crush the outermost layer of the goblin army's formation, piercing through without difficulty. Eekk! Eiik!! Eeki! The goblins emitted strange squeaking sounds as many of their brethren fell under the fierce offensive of the elven warriors. Some powerful hobgoblins tried to stop the rampaging elves, but even these evolved goblins couldn't resist the furious elves and were reduced into pools of blood. More and more goblins were killed, but the momentum of the elven warriors gradually slowed down as they engaged with more powerful goblins. "Goblin chieftains!" Garandel narrowed his eyes when he saw these creatures. These monsters weren't easy to deal with and it took the combined effort of more than five Elite Knight level elves to kill one! "Push through!" The elven king shouted as he casually killed the goblins that blocked his path. It turned out that Garandel was also a Transcendent Knight! Furthermore, his spear was a relic-level weapon capable of manipulating rocks. With each wave of his spear, sharp rocks would be released. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The goblins who had tried to stop him had their heads burst by the sharp rocks. He was so precise and efficient with his attacks. Even while moving at a fast speed, he was able to accurately headshot the goblins. Suddenly, a robust goblin chieftain appeared up ahead. It had a huge battle axe almost the size of an adult male and a rectangular shield the size of a giant door. King Garandel sneered upon seeing the creature. A mere goblin chieftain thinks that it can stop me? Hmph! With a snort, he waved his spear, releasing dozens of sharp rocks that shot toward the goblin chieftain. Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of fierce 'bangs' echoed as the sharp rocks struck the monster's towering shield. The monster, known for its strength, recoiled from the impact. The shield in its hand was also deformed. The goblin chieftain revealed a look of shock. It brandished its axe, slashing it down toward the elven king. However, Garandel simply lifted his spear and imbued it with mana. CLANG! Sparks flew as the huge axe struck his spear, but Garandel managed to casually deflect it. After deflecting its attack, he urged his horse to leap and thrust his spear. Khhshhhk!! His spear pierced the goblin chieftain's forehead, killing it on the spot! He then kicked its body and sent it crashing to the ground with a heavy 'thud'. While the elven king was easily killing the goblins, Elder Dahon was even more ferocious. With every brandish of his broadsword, more than ten goblins would fall. Because of his destructive power, no goblins could come close to him. Those who tried had already been cut in half! Even the fearsome monsters like the goblin chieftains weren't any better. Under his oppressive might, these feared creatures were cut into several pieces. With the leadership of these two Transcendents, the right flank of the goblin army was decimated. Hundreds of goblin corpses were scattered across the forest and their casualties were steadily increasing as the battle progressed. Meanwhile, on the left flank, the same thing was happening. Elder Sunset and Elder Aegris took charge, causing devastating damage to the goblin army's left flank. It was a scene of carnage. However, something unexpected happened. A powerful and overwhelming aura suddenly descended, stopping the charging elven warriors in place. Everyone subconsciously turned their gazes. To the elven warriors' horror, a more terrifying monster had appeared. It was the size of a human with green but slightly bluish skin. It had a pair of beastly yellow eyes that screamed danger. The strange-looking goblin was holding a bone sword and it wore a complete set of leather armor made from reinforced monster hide. The workmanship of its armor was too sophisticated for it to be made by goblins so everyone guessed that it must have gotten it from a human that it had killed. "Goblin Monarch!" Elder Aegris exclaimed in shock. A goblin monarch, the final evolutionary form of a goblin. It was a monster at the Disaster-grade! The goblin monarch tilted its head in his direction and revealed an expression of disgust. "High elves..." It uttered in the common tongue. Aegris felt humiliated, but he didn't dare recklessly attack the monster. This was no longer something that he could handle by himself. "Elder Sunset." He looked at the elven woman who was holding a bow that glowed with runic lights.
