After the human legion poured out several rounds of firepower to slightly push back the goblin army in front of them, the officers immediately directed everyone to retreat along the communication trench behind the trench.
At the same time, the crews on the gunboats on the river also fired a batch of cannonballs at the fastest speed, temporarily delaying the enemy's advance.
Lawrence was naturally the last to go with Saphire and the others. As a pioneering nobleman of the Holy Visby Empire, it was a certain noble obligation to stand at the front when charging on the battlefield and to walk at the back when retreating. Especially in this situation.
Now is the time when such extraordinary beings can play a decisive role.
So when Lawrence used the two-pronged strategy of soul interference and summoning monster phantoms, this retreat from the enemy front that could theoretically result in a large number of casualties was achieved with zero casualties.
After the group of goblins cleared out the suddenly crazy people among their own group and eliminated the hobgoblin shadows blocking the way, they found that the first trench was empty.
"Continue to attack and drive them all into the river. We don't have much time now." A goblin chief who followed the vanguard said after looking at the situation at the scene.
At this time, two steam mooring boats dragged a long series of flat-bottomed barges and headed downstream of the river according to Lawrence's order, which gave the goblins an obvious misleading.
In their view, the reason why humans are shrinking their defense lines now is obviously because they are exerting a lot of pressure on humans on the battlefield. The ships traveling downstream hope to mobilize reinforcements to the human settlements downstream of the river to allow the war to continue.
Considering that the goblins have already lost more than 20,000 people, the goblins feel that they can only carry the war to the end at this time.
Because they had been isolated from the world outside the island for a long time, these goblins had no idea that the entire world outside the island had undergone tremendous changes.
At least compared to when their ancestors fought with humans, the firepower now controlled by humans is more than ten times stronger than before, so that their current losses far exceed the previous plan.
But at this time, the goblins cannot retreat at all, because unless they are willing to give up the territory they currently occupy, they will have no choice but to fight to the end.
More importantly, they paid a huge price in this battle and created massive sunk costs. If they don't continue, even if they leave now, they will be dead.
However, the distance of more than twenty meters from the first trench to the second chimera is like a natural moat, because as the length of the front of the position that humans need to guard narrows, the firepower naturally becomes denser.
Therefore, those goblins who climbed out of the first trench were all hit by various firepower and fell to the ground as they tried to rush through the surface covered with explosives, directional mines, traps, and snake-shaped barbed wire.
The goblins who tried to launch an attack through the communication trenches retreated faster, because after passing through the narrow and curved communication trenches, they discovered that a machine gun position was set up at the exit of the communication trench. But in these narrow underground passages, they could not attack at all.
There is no way to avoid those flying bullets.
"Okay, now, let's do it!" After Lawrence discovered that basically all the main forces of the goblins had left their original positions and launched an attack on their own positions, Lawrence immediately contacted the man who had been keeping an eye on the spellcasters among the goblins.
Nora also issued the order for a general attack.
"Understood." Nora's brisk voice rang in Lawrence's mind. At the same time, she dived directly towards the largest altar at a very high speed.
At the same time, magic arrays filled with mysterious runes appeared around them one after another, and then countless silver-green threads stretched out from them, occupying all the surrounding space, forming a shear of light...
There is now a group of priests of the goblin god singing and dancing around the altar, and around them, some very elite-looking hobgoblins and bugbears are patrolling back and forth in the surrounding mountains and forests with weapons.
There are some goblin warriors holding blow darts hidden in the trees.
In front of the altar, the corpses of nearly a hundred beasts were piled directly there. Each of them had a fatal wound. And the blood in their bodies slowly flowed out of the wound, and then defied gravity a little bit.
Climbed up the altar and filled all the lines on the altar.
When the blood gathered on the platform at the top of the altar, it was directly injected into a groove at the top of the altar. Above that groove, a black flame burned blazingly, and continued to follow the rhythm of the priests singing below.
Jump. At the same time, one after another power emitted from the altar and was injected into the goblins on the battlefield.
Obviously, this altar can communicate with the gods through the blood and souls of burning sacrifices and cast all the war magic that covers the entire battlefield. It can be said that this is the biggest trump card that the goblins think they can win this time. Therefore, around the altar
There are a lot of goblins defending.
However, like other creatures in this era, the goblins' defense still ignores the issue of air defense. After all, those extraordinary beings who can fly freely are all high-level extraordinary beings, and they often do not need to use sneak attack methods. And the aircraft currently used by humans
The speed is slow and the volume is large, making it easy to give early warning.
As a result, it wasn't until the little doll swooped down to the height of the treetop that several goblins who had been squatting on the top of the tree noticed the fleeting figure. However, before they had time to issue a warning, they saw the figure coming straight.
It hit the largest altar, and then the light group around the figure exploded.
I saw countless rays of light condensing into threads that swept across almost all the surrounding space, and then cut all the goblins around the altar into pieces.
Although several of the priests erupted from one or more defensive magic auras, this only caused them to die less than a second later than the others.
"Haha - a bunch of noobs." Looking at the core command of the goblin that was instantly cut into piles of flesh and blood by the light she controlled, Nora just hovered above the altar and looked into the distance. After realizing that something was wrong, she suddenly rushed towards this place.
The bugbears and hobgoblins rushing over muttered.
After all, the highest level of extraordinary among these goblins is only a professional-level priest, so naturally they cannot resist the attack of a high-level extraordinary like Nora. And after the spell caster was eliminated immediately, those so-called elite goblins simply couldn't resist.
I can't resist the crazy killing of the little doll.
After killing all the goblins around, Nora looked at the still-running altar and thought for a few seconds, then released a light shield composed of silver and green light to cover the altar. In an instant, the altar and the void
The connection with a powerful being disappears.
At first, Nora was worried that the Goblin God would sense the changes in the altar and react in some way. But after waiting for a few seconds, she realized that her worries were unnecessary.
After all, there are a large number of goblins in this world, and the goblins on this island only account for a very small part of the entire group, so it is normal for the goblin god not to pay attention here.
So Nora directly summoned a lot of processed power of faith to cut off the operation of the altar, and then directly stuffed the entire altar into the astral plane. After the entire scene was processed, she immediately closed it
He set up a barrier outside and informed Lawrence of the incident.
"Well done." Lawrence replied immediately after receiving Nora's notice. "Also, you don't need to come out to join us now. Just stay in the woods and be prepared to chase down the defeated army. And then
It’s enough to come down and leave everything on the frontal battlefield to us.”
After speaking, Lawrence stood up and said to the officers around him: "Our people have removed the magic from the goblins, let us go all out to fight!"
