In an instant, every goblin that was fighting them before disappeared into the darkness. However, they could still sense them moving around behind bushes. The rustling of the leaves was masked by the rain. Therefore, pinpointing their actual location was kind of hard for the knights.
The 8 knights fought near the bridge, so they could still prevent a monster from entering the gate.
"Come! None of you monsters are getting past us!"
Trees around the wooden logs posing as the fence had been cut down to avoid being used to jump over and enter the barrier.
None of them needed words to coordinate their actions with each other. Fighting alongside their comrades for years built trust and coordination in them.
Eugeo powered himself up with his magic, increasing his strength, but his speed did not decrease. With this, he was able to withstand the incoming force when he blocked off a direct attack from the hobgoblin's club.

The king and queen initiate the first attack. It was not something fancy or remarkable. Unlike the three hobgoblins, the king and queen have their own different weapons. For the king, he was wielding a scimitar in his dominant right hand whilst holding a bark shield in the other.A scimitar is a short sword with a curved blade that broadens towards the point whereas the bark shield or gweagal shield is usually cut off from the bloodwood of mulga trees or from a bark of a red mangrove tree.Based on the condition of the king's scimitar and bark shield, he musthave got it from somewhere or someone they killed."Monsters these days would use whatever means or form of the weapon just to survive. A bark shield suits his figure."On the other hand, the queen has a bow in her hand. Around her shoulder was a custom-made quiver appropriate to her size. Also, the recurve bow was slightly larger than the normal ones. Each bow has a sharp stone arrowhead in i

The battle continues. Everyone was tired, killing most of the entire goblins whilst the queen and king goblins only had a few scratches leaving the knights exhausted."If I knew that goblins would be this much of a hindrance, I would have improved my magic prowess!"Not everyone wishes for more power. Some of them are content with what they have already because they don't see any reason to surpass their limits. People know that sooner or later they would hit a huge wall, an impenetrable obstacle wherein they should not bother themselves trying to breach."Mom, will the warriors in shining armor lose?" Asked a concerned kid.The knights were clearly at a disadvantage, in both number and energy. Two of them were killed and three were injured.It is just a matter of time before their fall happens if they don't turn the tables on the goblins.Eugeo has been in countless bouts and he could see themselves losing against the unwavering calmness of the queen and king."I badly... want to wipe

All is well until the third, and the last goblin suddenly went unnoticed. Invictus had to heighten his senses to locate the goblin within proximity. And so, the hair at the back of his neck stood up, which indicates a warning signal for danger.Invictus' bloodshot eyes gleamed as he abruptly turned his head to the side, and his tight grip grabbed a hold of that grinning expression of the goblin."Krieee!"The goblin was about to hit Invictus with his axe to free himself from his grip but was caught by Invictus' other hand, preventing his escape.Squirming, struggling, doing whatever it could just to avoid what was about to come, the goblin even tried biting on Invictus' palm but it was to no avail. The monster's efforts were futile. Invictus does not intend on letting him go."Let me just take this for you."He snatched the axe away from the goblin and used the monster's weapon on him, cleanly splitting him in half diagonally with a single s

Rahel and Aeriel will soon leave to live in Doloria, and Aeriel will fulfill her goals there."And here you are, about to stride in a quicksand where your chance of survival is nigh.""Ah, are we gonna start this again before we part ways?" Growled Invictus.Aeriel cackled, "you sound so fed up about it, Lord Invictus. Don't worry. I won't try to smooth-talk you. Just be safe, always."Rahel already bid his farewell to Invictus and does not have that much to say to him. She left to give Aeriel and Invictus some time alone to have proper temporary goodbyes to each other with the goals they have in mind."We're about to chase after our goals in life and are gradually drifting apart from each other."A small part of Doloria had been seized by King Estaroth in their last invasion.

Even if you're a citizen of the city, you are also bound by the same fate as the newcomers. They can become money for people too since they are humans themselves too and have blood, flesh, bones, and organs.The intentions of the three foolish guys with annoying grins on their faces were crystal clear.'Hmm? Thugs and heavy drinkers who do not have money anymore to support their vices.'Being the six-foot-tall man that Invictus was, men with average height, can't help but feel small and offended being looked down.'These beer-bellied scums are trying to rob me of what little money I have.'Shamelessly, Invictus took everything Rahel gave to him. She knew his circumstances and added more Plata he can use while he moved forward with his motive."This ain't a mask town, boy. Take that ugly piece of crap off your face!"'I wanna leave a strong impression on everyone who's watching us right now, but at the same time, I don't wanna attract

Invictus did not care about the awful acting of Lydia and her kids. He just continued walking while listening to what they had to say behind his back."Let's tell Uncle about this!" Suggested a kid, angry because Invictus didnot give them even a single piece of Plata."Yes, yes! I'm sure Uncle will definitely punish him!"He paid no mind to the blunt threats he was hearing from Lydia and her kids. In his mind, no one in Haven City will be able to stop his wicked plan."One week. I'll spend a week here and get things ready."Even if the place looks like a total mess, with fights going on here and there, screams and yelling clamoring, and poverty portraying itself transparently, Invictus still managed to find a decent place to eat.[Al's diner]Nostalgia hits Invictus, memories that did not need to be remembered.
