The Chosen of Slaanesh in Infinite Worlds

When Maya saw this, her brows furrowed and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

"Something's happened! Everyone speed up! Get to the village as soon as possible!"

Maya's voice was firm and powerful, and she gave orders quickly.

Everyone in the team felt the urgency and crisis; they all quickened their pace and sped away in the night.

Red is a signal of danger, attention and caution.

They knew that what awaited them ahead might be an unprecedented fierce battle.

When the team of more than a hundred people finally arrived at the village, what Link saw made his heart tighten.

There were traces of frozen blood everywhere on the snow, as if telling of the fierce battle that had taken place here.

The silence and darkness of the village became even more suffocating at this moment.

Captains Anos and Balk also quickly came to Maya, their faces solemn and heavy.

"Maya! All the people in the village are gone, and there are no bodies! The house also looks like it has been ransacked, and it's empty, with only bloodstains on the ground!"

There was some trembling and disbelief in Anos' voice.

When Maya heard this, a hint of anger and sadness flashed in her eyes.

She knew that these goblins must be preparing for winter, so they came out to plunder the village.

She quickly made arrangements: "Anos, you take your men to build fortifications to prevent sudden attacks by the enemy; Balk, you take some people to search the village thoroughly to see if there are any survivors hiding!"

With the cooperation of several silver-level adventurers, hundreds of people quickly renovated the village from inside to outside.

They used existing materials to set up barricades and obstacles at the entrances and exits of the village, and the not-so-high walls and roofs also became excellent locations for patrolling and surveillance.

The archers stood on high places, their eyes sharp, always alert to the movements around them.

However, the results of the search were chilling.

The entire village was turned upside down, but no trace of survivors was found.

Every house had traces of blood, and it was obvious that the villagers had met with misfortune.

Balk's face turned pale, he clenched his fists, the flame of revenge flashing in his eyes: "Maya, gather all the adventurers, let's launch an attack! If we launch an attack now, we may be able to rescue some people!"

His impatience and anger infected everyone, but Maya remained calm.

She knew very well that goblins were creatures that hibernate during the day and come out at night, and this was the time when they were active and humans were tired.

If you attack rashly, you will likely fall into the enemy's trap.

Therefore, she said in a deep voice: "Balke, I know you were born in this village and you are anxious. But goblins are cunning and cruel enemies, we can't act blindly. We should wait for the morning to come, when they are tired and want to rest, and then take down these goblins in one fell swoop!"

Maya's words were like a sobering agent, calming everyone down.

Anos nodded in agreement: "Maya is right. We should remain patient and calm and wait for the best time to attack."

Link also nodded silently. He knew very well that in this battle with the goblins, wisdom and strategy were equally important.

115. Offensive and defensive battle

The current situation is really unclear as to who is the enemy and who is ours. The sky is obscured by thick clouds and the dim moonlight makes people feel uneasy. This is definitely not a good time to launch an attack.

Although everyone knew that Balk's heart was as if it was burning with fire and he wanted to rush out immediately to fight those hateful goblins to the death, but if he acted rashly, it would be very likely that the lives of hundreds of adventurers would be lost. Such a price was something no one could afford.

Maya spread out a nearby map on the table. In this tense atmosphere, everyone sat together and argued fiercely, trying to come up with a way to protect the village while minimizing casualties.

Everyone's face was filled with anxiety and worry. After all, they were facing a group of cunning and ferocious goblins, not docile lambs.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the noise in the room, and a dusty adventurer ran in panting, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.

"Sister Maya! Things are not good! Archers have found traces of a large number of goblins moving in the jungle northwest of Norka Village! They seem to be gathering in large numbers and may be ready to attack us at any time!"

This sentence was like a bomb, exploding in everyone's heart in an instant.

"What!? These damn goblins actually dare to attack us?"

Anger and surprise were intertwined in everyone's heart. They never thought that these weak creatures that usually only dared to attack in the dark would be so courageous.

Upon hearing this, several silver-level adventurers in the room immediately stopped arguing. They knew very well that arguing at this moment was meaningless, and only by uniting as one could they overcome this crisis.

Everyone quickly came to the low wall in the northwest and looked into the distance with sharp eyes.

Yes, it is this low wall that has become the only line of defense for Norka Village.

However, this low wall is only two meters high. For a strong man like Link, it is like a nothing and can be easily climbed over.

But at this moment, it is the last barrier between the village and the goblins.

Link followed, he climbed over the low wall, and looked into the distance with deep eyes.

At the edge of the forest, there were countless strange movements, stretching for hundreds of meters. One could tell without any guessing that the size of this group of goblins was definitely not small.

It is really unexpected and stressful that they dare to come out hunting on their own initiative.

"Everyone, don't panic. Just like when we fight normally, stay calm and follow instructions."

Link's voice was calm and firm. He gently touched Violina's head to calm her fear. "Vilina, stay behind the team. We are here, and you will be fine."

"Yeah!" Violina nodded, with trust gleaming in her eyes.

"All archers and magicians, get ready! Once these goblins get close, attack immediately!" Maya also quickly gave the order, her voice revealing unquestionable firmness.

However, just as everyone was ready for the upcoming battle, a situation arose that caught Maya off guard.

The goblins actually erected "wooden shields", and on these "wooden shields" were actually tied living humans!

There are villagers from Norka Village, as well as adventurers captured in previous battles, and most of them are women!

These people who were tied to wooden shields and used as human shields were all in ragged clothes and had obviously been humiliated by the goblins, but they were all still alive, at least they were still breathing.

Seeing this scene, endless anger and grief surged in everyone's hearts.

"These damn goblins!" someone roared.

Maya was even more furious. She saw her former teammate, the archer teammate who she thought was dead, now tied to the "shield" with his last breath.

In the cold air, you could still see the faint warm breath she exhaled, which was the last struggle of her life.

Maya's plan had to be interrupted. How could these adventurers bear to kill their companions who once fought side by side with them and the innocent villagers?

Taking this opportunity, groups of goblins approached, waving their weapons with greed and cruelty flashing in their eyes.

If these goblins are allowed to get close, these low walls will be like paper and will be unable to stop their attacks.

Seeing this, Link, who was standing on the low wall, frowned, raised his hand and shouted, "Don't just stand there! Anyone who can use stun or control magic? Cast it towards the area where the wooden shield is! Warriors and assassins who think they are fast, when the control magic takes effect, rescue as quickly as possible! Everyone, don't fight to the death! Archers, aim at the goblin archers, goblin mages and priests inside, and carry out precise sniping and cover!"

At this critical moment, Link's voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

The adventurers all looked at Link who had spoken, and then looked at Maya who was at the front, their eyes flashing with expectation and trust.

Maya also reacted quickly and shouted, "Do what Link says right now!"

With reasonable arrangements and Maya's orders, several magicians took action. They chanted something and the magic lights in their hands flashed.

"This is the goddess' lullaby for sleep - deep sleep!"

A soft light shone on the front of the goblins, and those goblins covered by the light fell into a deep sleep one after another.

"Vine binding!"

Another magician shouted, and countless vines emerged from the ground, binding the goblins tightly in place.

"Brothers! Follow me! Rescue our companions and villagers first! Don't fight to the bitter end!"

Balke could no longer suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart. He roared and rushed out first.

After him, several warrior and assassin adventurers followed him and soon came into contact with the goblins.

At this moment, the goblins in the front were under various control skills. Some were in a deep sleep, some were bound by vines and unable to move, and some were restricted in their movements by the newly formed swamp. They were completely unable to stop Balk and others from taking away the human shields in their hands.

At this moment, archers like Aloy drew their bows and drew their arrows, starting precise sniping. These arrows, which were wrapped in fighting spirit, were extremely powerful. From a distance of hundreds of steps, the arrows they shot accurately eliminated the archers among the goblins, and a goblin wizard was also pierced through the heart by an arrow.

This made Balk and his team's work much easier. They quickly rescued the hostages who were tied to the wooden shields, and then quickly retreated carrying them on their backs.

Every time a hostage was rescued, Balke and others felt more hope and strength.

"Quick! Rescue them quickly! Don't fight too long!"

Balk shouted loudly while swinging the giant sword in his hand.

Behind him, each soldier carried a rescued hostage and quickly retreated towards the village.

Soon, the goblin's wooden shield completely lost its function.

After Balk and the others all came back, Maya waved her hand with a determined light in her eyes: "Use magic, full bombing! Archers, shoot freely!"

Now that the human shields that restrict their hands are no longer in use, it is time for the magicians to cast large-scale killing magic.

"Firestorm!"

A magician shouted, and a blazing flame instantly swept through the group of goblins in front, burning them to death.

"Chain lightning!"

The other magician was not to be outdone. Bolts of lightning flew through the goblin group like poisonous snakes, electrocuting them and making them twitch all over.

With the long-range attacks of the magicians and archers, nearly half of the attacking goblin soldiers were killed in a short while.

However, as the magician's magic power gradually ran out and the archer's arrows dwindled, more and more goblins were approaching the village.

They waved their weapons with cruelty flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to completely destroy the village.

"Brothers, it's time to earn gold coins!"

Anos waved the giant sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

His voice was full of passion and fighting spirit, "Revenge for our brothers and sisters! For our homeland!"

"Revenge for my brothers and sisters!"

Balk also roared, and his voice resounded through the sky like thunder.

He brandished the giant sword like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and instantly killed four goblin soldiers.

His figure shuttled across the battlefield like a flash of lightning, and wherever he went, goblins fell to the ground one after another.

The rest of the melee adventurers also rushed forward, wielding swords, axes, or fists, and engaged in a desperate fight with the goblins.

The magicians, who were not very durable and could not urinate, had finally used up all their magic power. Now it was finally their turn to perform! They had been waiting on the sidelines until the flowers withered!

Link did not rush forward, but stayed slightly behind the battle line, observing every corner of the battlefield with his sharp eyes.

Link did this mainly to protect Violina, Lillian, and Eloi and the others in the rear. Secondly, these goblins were just some miscellaneous soldiers and were not worth his effort.

He also needs to observe the overall situation and make timely arrangements for special situations that may arise.

In contrast, Ashaji, Ingrid and Anne Roger turned into head harvesters.

With their treacherous ninjutsu, terrifying black flames, and superb swordsmanship, they are like ducks in water on the battlefield. The weapons in their hands flash with dazzling light, and every swing is accompanied by a sharp sword energy or a blazing flame.

The goblins were as vulnerable as lambs to be slaughtered in front of them.

One of the goblin wizards was about to cast a spell when he was quickly surrounded by Ashaji and the others. Ashaji used a teleportation technique to get behind it and cut its throat with a sword; Ingrid waved her hand and a black flame instantly swallowed it; Anne Roger swung her long sword and directly chopped off its head. The three of them cooperated tacitly and moved very quickly.

"call out!"

The sound of an arrow cutting through the air was heard, and the arrow shot by the goblin was about to hit a young bronze-level swordsman.

The young swordsman's face changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but found that it was too late.

"Be careful!" Link's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Link took out the Iron Sun Box, and a shield quickly fell on the young swordsman, and his body was instantly covered by a layer of faint light. The reinforced leather armor blocked the arrow, and the sound of "clang" made the adventurer feel that he was not wearing leather armor, but iron armor.

116. Suspicion

Although Link did not charge into battle rashly, the goblins surged towards the low wall like a tide, forcing him to join the battle.

Under his Skyfire Sword, the goblin soldiers fell one after another and died.

Link's figure stood on the low wall, like an efficient killing machine. Every swing of his sword was accompanied by a blazing flame, devouring the life of the enemy.

The power of the Skyfire Greatsword was fully demonstrated, and every swing seemed to cut through the night sky, leaving behind brilliant streaks of fire.

The blazing flames not only illuminated the battlefield, but also ignited endless fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.
