Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 214 – Messy war
A massive centaur phantom formed by water elemental magic appeared behind Li Meng.
The enormous water-blue shadow stood about fifty meters tall.
"What... what is that?"
The dazzling magical glow caught everyone's attention.
Both the humans on the city wall and the ghost beastmen seemed to sense something.
The charging ghost beastmen abruptly halted their steps.
They looked on with faces full of uncertainty and suspicion.
"First, I'll take you down!"
Li Meng swung his Big Iron Rod, pointing it towards the distant Flame Demon Lord.
At this moment, the Flame Demon Lord was charging towards Li Meng.
The terrifying magical pressure it emitted forced it to stop in its tracks.
"Roar!"
It reacted quickly, letting out a roar towards the sky.
The flaming greatsword in its hand was once again thrust into the ground.
Massive walls of fire rose from the earth in front of it.
One, two, three, four, five.
A total of five firewalls, nearly twenty meters high and ten meters wide, erupted from the ground.
Just as the firewalls formed, the enormous Margarita phantom behind Li Meng released the bowstring.
A dazzling magical glow flashed.
A massive azure stream of light burst forth.
Its speed was so fast that it crossed hundreds of meters in an instant, sweeping over the firewalls.
The five firewalls were instantly destroyed by the powerful magical torrent.
In another instant, it enveloped the Flame Demon Lord, who was trying to teleport away.
In the massive water-blue magical torrent, only a flash of fire was seen.
Everything turned to ash.
The dazzling water-blue magic continued its momentum, crashing into the city wall.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion was heard.
The city wall, built with enchanted stones, was directly pierced through.
The water-blue stream of light that pierced the wall crashed into the canyon entrance five hundred meters away.
A massive roar was heard.
The water-blue magic erupted.
The enormous impact tore the ground within hundreds of meters.
The dazzling water-blue magic transformed into a gigantic water column shooting into the sky.
When everything calmed down, a lake with a diameter of several hundred meters appeared at the canyon entrance.
And a massive hole appeared in the city wall.
The terrifying power left everyone on the battlefield in shock.
"Imperial-level magic?"
Douglas looked incredulously at the steel figure in the distance.
But Douglas quickly came to his senses.
Now that the Evil Stone was destroyed, his plan had failed.
But no matter what, the Goblin King must be killed.
"Ghost beastmen, hear my command, kill the Goblin King, attack together!"
Douglas shouted loudly.
His figure leaped into the sky.
"Yes, slay the Goblin King!"
The ghost beastmen roared in unison.
They all leaped into the sky, charging towards Li Meng like fleas using their Super Leap skill.
Seeing the ghost beastmen charging over, Li Meng grinned.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
If the ghost beastmen reached the city wall, the humans wouldn't be able to hold it.
The demon army would storm into the Garrison Fort and slaughter the humans.
Such an outcome must not be allowed to happen.
Li Meng swung his Big Iron Rod, pointing it at Agatha.
"You... you heartless man, forgetting me as soon as you get out of bed."
Seeing the Goblin King targeting her, Agatha's expression changed slightly.
She stopped in her tracks with a face full of resentment.
Agatha knew that if she moved forward, the Goblin King would definitely kill her.
Seeing Agatha stop, Li Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Agatha was from the demon tribe, they had shared intimate moments.
It would be a pity to kill such a beauty.
If he could avoid killing her, it would be best not to.
Even if they became enemies in the future.
Public matters are public, private matters are private, and it wouldn't affect their relationship.
Li Meng waved his hand, and the magical phantom behind him dissipated.
Margarita's Arrow was powerful, but it consumed too much magic.
Even with millions of magic, it couldn't be used many times.
"Goblin, die!"
A roar came from the sky.
A ghost beastman centurion, with the force of thunder, attacked Li Meng from above.
Li Meng swung his rod, smashing towards the incoming ghost beastman.
The ghost beastman vanished in a flash, and the Big Iron Rod missed.
In the next instant, the ghost beastman reappeared beside Li Meng.
Just as the ghost beastman was about to swing its sword, the Big Iron Rod came crashing down.
"Bang!"
The rod struck solidly on the ghost beastman's waist.
With a "bang," the ghost beastman's body flew out like a rag.
Its body twisted into an unrecognizable shape.
It flew hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground.
Wherever it passed, chaos ensued.
Numerous Pigmen and beastmen were sent flying.
The clash between the two lasted only a moment.
And in that moment, the victor was decided.
"Kill!"
More than ten ghost beastmen charged at Li Meng.
Their figures vanished and reappeared suddenly.
In an instant, the space around Li Meng was filled with flashing blades and swords.
"Don't fight head-on, surround and kill it!"
More than ten ghost beastmen surrounded Li Meng, leaping up and down.
Blades and swords attacked Li Meng repeatedly.
But Li Meng swung the Big Iron Rod in his hand, creating an impenetrable defense.
Even if he didn't hit, the gusts of wind he raised made the ghost beastmen unsteady.
In almost an instant, hundreds of moves were exchanged between both sides.
"Whoosh!"
A ghost beastman couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying by another swing from Li Meng.
Its body flew out like a cannonball.
"Die!"
A ghost beastman thought it found an opportunity.
It slashed its sword at Li Meng's waist.
A metallic clash sounded, sparks flying.
Before the ghost beastman could celebrate, a massive hand grabbed it.
It tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The massive hand grabbed its head and lifted it.
"Slash!"
Douglas suddenly appeared beside Li Meng.
He leaped up, slashing his sword at Li Meng's arm.
"Clang!"
Another metallic clash sounded, sparks flying.
Douglas's greatsword struck Li Meng's arm.
But something harder beneath the gauntlet deflected Douglas's greatsword.
"How is this possible!"
Douglas's face changed dramatically, filled with disbelief.
His strike couldn't sever the Goblin King's arm?
Douglas jumped back, distancing himself from the Goblin King.
"You all retreat, continue attacking the Garrison Fort, kill all the humans inside, I'll handle the Goblin King, ah!"
Douglas roared in anger.
A surge of blood energy erupted from his body.
His skin turned crimson, emitting rolling steam.
His body twisted with cracking sounds.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face ferocious.
In a massive roar, Douglas's body began to swell.
This scene made the ghost beastmen quickly turn and flee.
They continued rushing towards the Garrison Fort.
Meanwhile, the demon army was still charging.
They were less than five hundred meters from the city wall.
"Master, be careful, after going berserk, he'll be enveloped in Blood Fury Aura."
"What's aura?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Meng's eyes.
He looked at the berserk Douglas with interest.
Li Meng had also gone berserk before.
He felt a peculiar force enveloping his body.
But since it was his first time using it, he didn't know how to utilize that force.
"Aura is also a form of magic, but the way it's used is different. Magic relies on mental control to attack enemies externally, while warriors use aura to strengthen their bodies, gaining powerful physiques."
"Can aura be projected externally?"
"It can, but it's relatively difficult. It can only be projected through practicing specific sword techniques. Among humans, there are two major sword technique schools: the Southern Emperor's Sword of Light, which focuses on offense, and the Eastern Emperor's Water Flow Sword, which emphasizes defense."
Li Meng gained new knowledge from Xiao Bai.
He originally thought warriors could only engage in close combat with their powerful physiques.
He didn't expect there were also aura projection attack techniques.
Although he had fought the Sword King "Carlos" before.
At that time, Li Meng thought Carlos was using magic.
With this understanding, the ghost beastmen's skills weren't as strong.
Without aura projection skills, their attack power would be significantly reduced.
"Roar!"
At this moment, Douglas let out a massive roar.
His original height of about two meters surged to 2.5 meters.
His entire body was enveloped in blood-red Blood Fury Aura.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
He shouted, his strong desire to kill targeting the largest figure, Li Meng.
"Boom!"
His figure flashed, transforming into a blood-red stream of light charging at Li Meng.
"So fast!"
In almost an instant, Douglas reached Li Meng.
Li Meng also felt a sense of oppression from Douglas.
Douglas wielded his greatsword, slashing madly.
In an instant, he unleashed dozens of strikes.
Waves of air exploded, sweeping the surroundings.
Li Meng swung his Big Iron Rod repeatedly, deflecting Douglas's greatsword.
As a Saint-level powerhouse, Douglas's attributes after going berserk were nearly twenty thousand.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
He roared in fury while fighting.
"You can't kill me!"
Li Meng swung his rod, deflecting Douglas's greatsword.
His right foot followed with a kick.
Douglas's chest took the full brunt of the kick.
With a "boom," Douglas's body flew out.
He flew a hundred meters before crashing to the ground.
"I'll kill you!"
Douglas got up as if nothing happened.
His figure flashed, leaping into the air.
The ground beneath his feet cracked, a wave of air exploded.
In the sky, Douglas slashed down with his greatsword.
A blood-red sword aura, like a crescent moon, shot out.
"Aura is indeed marvelous!"
When Li Meng's kick landed on Douglas, he felt resistance.
The Blood Fury Aura surrounding Douglas absorbed most of the kick's force.
Li Meng didn't dare take it head-on, dodging the strike.
The descending blood-red sword aura crashed into the ground.
With a "boom," dust billowed.
The aura's explosion left a large crater where Li Meng had been.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
Missing his strike, Douglas grew even more furious.
Blood Fury Aura erupted from his body.
Douglas seemed to be enveloped in blood-red flames.
He transformed into a blood-red stream of light, plummeting to the ground.
"Then I'll send you flying!"
This time, Li Meng didn't plan to dodge.
He stepped on the ground with his right foot.
Holding the Big Iron Rod with both hands, he swung with all his might.
Ghost beastmen liked leap attacks because Super Leap and Charged Strike could be combined.
First, they leaped into the air, then used Charged Strike for maximum attack power.
In the sky, a blood-red stream of light plummeted to the ground.
In that instant, with a "boom," a wave of air exploded, sweeping the surroundings.
Li Meng swung the Big Iron Rod, smashing it onto Douglas's hoof.
In the exploding wave of air, a red figure flew into the sky.
Douglas's body shot up like a cannonball.
This time, he soared into the clouds, skimming over the northern mountains of the canyon, and plummeted to the distant ground.
"Tsk tsk, aura is truly a good thing."
That swing should have turned Douglas's leg into mush.
But he felt resistance again with that swing.
The Blood Fury Aura protected Douglas's leg.
However, that swing still broke Douglas's bones.
Li Meng heard the "crack" of bones breaking.
"So far away, you can go crazy in the mountains, wahaha!"
Gazing at the distant sky, Li Meng laughed heartily.
When Douglas regained consciousness, he would be in a weakened state.
In other words, the demon tribe had lost their only Saint-level powerhouse.
The remaining centurions and higher-ranked centurions would be much easier to deal with.
"Retreat, retreat, Pigmen tribe, retreat!"
At this moment, Pig Dajin and Wolf Howl finally reacted.
They quickly took out horns from their waists and blew them.
The urgent sound of horns echoed across the battlefield.
The charging Pigmen tribe and Gnolls stopped abruptly.
They looked back in confusion.
"What are you looking at, retreat, retreat!"
Pig Dajin and Wolf Howl turned and ran towards the rear.
The surrounding Pigmen tribe and Gnolls quickly turned and followed.
Pig Dajin and Wolf Howl's retreat spurred their tribesmen.
The dark mass of the demon tribe fell into chaos.
The beastmen continued their charge, while the Pigmen tribe and Gnolls ran to the rear.
This scene left the humans on the city wall bewildered.
They were confused by the situation before them.
"Iron Face, what should we do now?"
The charging ghost beastmen were also bewildered by the situation.
The battlefield had turned into a chaotic mess.
The Pigmen tribe and Gnolls had already fled.
They had less than twenty thousand beastmen left.
Now that the Evil Stone was destroyed.
Even if they breached the Garrison Fort, it would be meaningless.
"Damn Goblin King!"
Iron Face let out an unwilling roar.
He turned and ran towards the northern mountains.
"Retreat, go find Lord Douglas!"
Hearing this, the charging ghost beastmen turned and rushed towards the northern mountains.
The ghost beastmen's retreat left the beastmen puzzled.
As they ran, the beastmen stopped.
They looked at the fleeing ghost beastmen in confusion.
And the Pigmen tribe and Gnolls behind them.
Why was everyone running?
The demon army's unusual behavior also caught the attention of the humans on the city wall.
"What is going on?"
"Could they be scared off by that giant powerhouse?"
"Yeah, that strike was really strong."
"Indeed, even a dozen ghost beastmen couldn't handle him."
"Could he be a Saint-level powerhouse?"
"Probably Imperial-level, you saw the power of that magic strike earlier."
The humans on the city wall, who were ready to attack, hesitated.
They were also confused by the chaotic demon army outside.
