Chapter 39 on

Two 40mm shellless grenades quickly hit the ogre who had just exposed his head. The first grenade exploded under its feet and severely damaged its ankle and exploded many goblins, while the other grenade hit its shaking head without bias.

I don’t know if it was because the ogre’s head was too strong or because the grenade hit the bad position, but unexpectedly exploded through a big hole. Two loud bangs instantly filled the entire underground space. Then I saw the unlucky ogre swaying and directly hit the ground and crushed many little goblins in chaos.

Due to the sudden explosion, the group of goblins had some riots, so they slowed down the attack on Aphrola and the others. This seemed good news, so I planned to shoot the remaining 4 grenades while the iron was hot and see if I could force the group of monsters to retreat directly.

There was not enough light in the underground space, and most of the light sources were illuminated by the Goblins' torches and the magic from Aphrola. Similarly, we dared not use torches to illuminate. The previous rangers took this opportunity to sneak attacks in the shadows several times before they were not discovered. So when our group of people came here, the workers put out the torches. At the same time, the rangers also used some magic to create some glimmer of light to prevent us, humans from getting blind.

I locked two torches and pulled the trigger twice. The two grenades exploded many goblins by accident. Although they seemed to have caused severe damage to them, they also attracted the attention of the goblins. In the dark, I saw a group of goblins moving back and forth in the team, especially I noticed that there was a guy wearing tattered protective gear in the goblin group. It was being carried by several goblins on stretchers and stood on other goblins. The short and fat figure did not look like an ordinary person at all. It seemed that it also discovered our existence, waving the whip in its hand and whipping a group of goblins nearby to attack me.

"What the hell is this? The leader of the goblin?" I was surprised to turn to ask someone, but after looking at the group of people around me, I suddenly realized that there was nothing I knew here.

In the Rangers' team, only Parfi could communicate with me, but after she got down the hole, she had already followed others to deal with another monster area. She has not returned to the team yet. Although the remaining Rangers are not so indifferent, they really cannot communicate because no one here knows the elf language at this moment.

Looking at the archers in the city of Wielsk, although they can barely communicate, they are all strangers, but fortunately they should obey my command. Moreover, the place chosen by the Rangers is also very good. It is on the edge of the underground space. There are some collapsed boulders on the edge of the underground space to be used as cover. If it really doesn't work, you can push them down directly as rolling stones. Even if the goblins below are going to attack for a strong attack, it is not that easy.

Although the Goblins were small, they were really fast. In such a short time, about twenty guys with broken swords rushed to us.

"Shoot!" I shouted loudly in Anno's words.

Although the elves couldn't understand what I said, they also went to get the arrows to supplement after seeing that the human archers had already started shooting.

Speaking of which, there are some reasons why these elves were unwilling to use the Welsk City arrows at the beginning, because these arrows with different workmanship and complex types have never been favored by the elves, so the rangers used their own elves arrows in their previous battles. After all, the elves' arrows are not only powerful but also very well-made, but they can even be used as a magic medium for the rangers to perform magic shooting. But now it is no longer the time to be picky at random, and the rangers have also grabbed a bundle of quiveres and started shooting.

I slightly observed the shooting skills of the elf rangers and human archers. These rangers seemed to be randomly shot, but they could accurately hit the distant goblins every time. Especially for the tall elf lady standing beside me, she shot 8 arrows in total in 30 seconds, almost every 4 seconds per arrow and no Miss. On the other hand, human archers are much inferior. Archers are recruited by the city guards, and their levels are uneven. I even feel that they are even more uneven.

There are a few guys who are shooting randomly. The crossbowman is much better, because these crossbowmen are Chris's private soldiers. They are said to have been transferred from Trikracheng a few days ago. The archery technique is indeed very good and well-equipped. The crossbows used by each person are not hand crossbows but larger medium-sized crossbows. The arrows are slightly larger and the arrows are made of metal. All crossbowmen are wearing chain mail and equipped with long swords and small shields, which also seem to have certain fighting ability.

In short, these guys instantly shot the goblins in an instant, and I didn't even have time to fire. However, I didn't relax my vigilance. I first quickly observed the situation on Aphrola and Diana. The situation on their side was much more stable, especially the group of knights and javelins led by Diana to join the battle, and the strong attacks of the ogres were instantly suppressed. In addition, the pressure of the knights and spearmen made the goblins unable to get close to the magicians in Algasburg. Similarly, Diana used magic to kill an ogre and began to retreat.

Let's look at the leader in the goblin team. It was whipping the retreating goblins in a hurry, and at the same time kept pointing at our bow and arrow position on the side. Not long after, the group of goblins behind did not continue to rush forward but turned around and rushed towards us. It seemed that they were planning to destroy us first and then deal with Diana and the others.

As a large group of goblins rushed towards this side, the group of human archers and laborers began to panic. Fortunately, the ranger and crossbowmen remained calm and continued to shoot in an orderly manner.

"It seems that the leader cannot continue to command..." I hurriedly jumped onto a huge rock, aimed at the goblin leader who was dancing with a grenade launcher.

Although the distance is not too far, I was not sure about hitting the target. After all, the dim light and the very chaotic Goblin position made me lose my target if I was not careful. But unexpectedly, the elf lady next to me seemed to see what I was going to do. She hurriedly pulled out her elf arrow and shot it at the goblin position. When the arrow flew over the goblin position, a ray of light suddenly burst out.

"Lighting flare? No, it should be said to be an arrow..." I didn't have time to turn around and thank her, and quickly focused on the Goblin leader who was in chaos.

"Hey, man, come and try this too." I smiled and licked my lips and pulled the trigger.

This grenade was shot a little bit off, and the explosion point was one meter away from the Goblin leader. In order to be sure to kill me completely, I shot the last grenade out again.

After the launcher was empty, I did not plan to reload the bullet, but lay directly on the boulder and picked up the AK-74M. This time, I did not use the 1P87 mirror alone, but connected a PVS-14 night vision goggles in the back. There was also no external GP-30 grenade below, but directly changed to tactical guardrails and added flashlights and laser aiming. The muzzle device also replaced the muzzle accessories that can install the quick disassembly silencer. After all, this is underground combat, and all aspects of the needs will be special.

After I installed the silencer, I locked the position of the goblin leader through the night vision glass. When the smoke and dust disappeared, the consequences were absolutely true, and I saw my big belly lying on the ground and screaming loudly.

"Tsk, I'm really lucky... But I won't miss the shot at this distance..."

I first shot two goblins close to the target and then took advantage of the chaos of the goblins around me to seize the opportunity to shoot the goblin leader in the head with one shot.

Because it was a night vision goggles, I couldn't see what color the paste that flowed out of its brain was, but I was sure it must have died. However, when I was accustomed to habit, I still shot two more shots again, one shot continued to shoot the head and the other shot was used to destroy the heart. I don't know what the body structure of the goblins looks like, but I just estimated that their hearts might be in the chest, or maybe the goblins didn't have the heart organ.

"I really regret it. I should have asked Eve for a closer look." I collected all my rifles and jumped back to the back cover.

The elf Ranger Lady smiled at me when she saw me, but I didn't understand the elf's etiquette, so I subconsciously responded to her with a smile, and then I started to reload the RG-6. However, although I killed the goblins who were suspected to be the leader, the goblin army still showed no sign of retreat, because during my loading of grenades, I noticed that the rangers' shooting frequency was getting faster and faster, and even when I heard the goblins' whining sounds in the music.

I quickly turned over and looked down, and found that the number of goblins attacking here was increasing. I hurriedly looked up at the goblin army, but due to the chaos over there, the light source was very unstable. In desperation, I picked up the AK-74M again and used my night vision goggles to observe the battlefield.

The Goblins I had just bombed did not return to normal, and the front line against Diana in front of them began to collapse, but when I turned my perspective to the big hole in the wall behind, I suddenly felt a "knock" in my heart.

There were still a large number of goblins coming out of the hole. I even saw two more goblin leaders lifting them out from there. Although they looked different, the three goblins were so short and fat, and they were holding a whip with a skull in their hands.

"It turns out that I'm not the leader... I'm just a commander..." I looked at the goblin below with some disappointment and said to myself.

It is normal to feel depressed, because I just confidently thought that killing the local leader would end the battle, but now I realized that the one who was wasting the grenades just now was just a small leader. I had 12 grenades from Diana before, and only three grenades on my body. There were only 8 spare magazines for AK-74M. Who knows how long can I last for these ammunitions, or how many goblins I have to kill to end the battle.

I sighed softly, then quickly picked up the RG-6 and shot the most dense goblins below. Taking advantage of the opponent's offensive slowing down again, I used night vision goggles to observe the battle situation again. However, this time I used not to use the PVS14, but to 1PN138 installed on the helmet. After all, I couldn't install night vision goggles on each gun, so it is usually more appropriate to use the helmet.

In general, the situation is still stable and is beneficial to us at present, especially Diana and the others have begun to advance the front line below. There are only three ogres left there, and the goblins have also begun to collapse on a large scale. This seems to be a victory in sight, but in fact it is Diana and the others' most dangerous moment, because they cannot see the goblin reinforcements in the rear. If they rush in rashly, they will definitely be surrounded by the goblins that have spread to both sides, not to mention that the cave is still squeezed out a few smaller ogres.

Fortunately, we are supporting them on their left wing, but there are not enough troops to deploy on the right, and there are still a lot of wounded people behind their team. If the Goblins surpass the back road, it will be a big trouble.

"Damn it, that hole is so dangerous..." I looked at the hole and wanted to blow it up, but I just thought about it. If I really exploded, I might be able to give a few RPGs, but I know how strong the wall structure of this space is. If I accidentally blow it up, it would be deadly.

After observing the battlefield, I was thinking eagerly about countermeasures. If I rushed down and notified Diana and the others, it might be too late, but I looked at the goblins gathered again below and were worried. Because in my opinion, these archers could not resist so many goblin attacks, and the rangers might be able to withstand for a while, but without my heavy firepower support, it would be difficult to hold on for too long. However, if I took them away with me, it would be equivalent to giving up the left wing. If I was accidentally surrounded by the Goblin army on three sides, it would be completely out of the blue.

After thinking about it, I still haven't come up with a complete solution. It's very easy to attract Diana and the others' attention, but how to communicate after it gets attention becomes a problem. I haven't told them about lights and flags, if there is...

Thinking of this, I suddenly slapped my forehead suddenly, which scared the elf lady next to me. However, I didn't have time to explain to him, so I quickly rushed to the back and opened my backpack, then flipped through it for a while and took out a walkie-talkie from it.

This is the experimental magic intercom that Sevena used to test for us. Everything was normal in the previous test, but when we talked to Sevena that night, we were told not to use it in the underground space, so we have not communicated with this device since we got down the hole.

I don’t know why Sevina said that, maybe it was because the underground signal was not good, or maybe it was because the magic props would cause problems in the underground space. But no matter what, I can’t think of a good idea now, so I gritted my teeth and turned on the switch of the intercom directly.

"Sher—" Just as I pressed the switch, a sharp sound wave suddenly came out of the walkie-talkie.

The people around and the elf rangers also covered their ears with stimulation by this sound wave, but the sound wave did not last long, and it returned to normal in just a few seconds. I didn't care about anything else and quickly pressed the PTT button.

"Eve! Eve! I am Erica! Reply quickly!"

“…”

At the same moment, somewhere deepest below.

There is a sphere emitting red light floating in the air in the dark space. The illumination of the sphere makes the space not too dark. The entire space looks like a stone house, with a large number of exquisite patterned stone bricks spread flat on the ground, but the gloomy dark red makes the stone bricks on the ground look a bit ferocious, especially there is a stone pool under the light ball, which should be clear water inside, and now it looks very bloody.

However, this is not a completely quiet space. In addition to the slight roar from the sphere in the air, there are also some rude gasps from time to time in the shadow of the deepest part of the room. These gasps are noisy and heavy, just like several huge creatures gasping in the darkness.

At the same time, on the dividing line between the light and shadows that the red light shines, a huge stone seat is wearing a pair of dusty barefoot feet. Due to the limited range of light, the owner of these feet cannot be seen clearly. He can only feel that this huge seat is extraordinary through a small part revealed under the light and the blurry outline in the shadow.

"Sher—"

Suddenly, the red light ball floating in the air emitted a harsh sound wave.

The sound in the red ball was intermittent and the volume was extremely small, but unexpected ripples suddenly radiated in this space that seemed to be in a static time. The red ball suddenly became bright under the influence of the sound waves, just like a bright light that instantly illuminated the walls hidden in the darkness and various strange carvings and decorations around it. Even the stone chair revealed the whole picture under the light.

As the sound wave dissipated, the color of the red light ball gradually turned white, and other light sources in the space also lit up by themselves. In an instant, the entire space except for the darkness at the end of the stone chair, the rest of the corners were fully visible.

The entire space is like a huge palace. The stone chair stands in the center of the palace, like a majestic throne facing the vast space in front of it. In front of the stone throne is the strange pool, and behind the pool is a large group of weird and strange statues. At first glance, it is difficult to describe what the content of these statues are. There are roughly some vague human-shaped features. At least your hands and feet can be clearly identified, but strangely, other parts are difficult to describe, and these statues kneel on the ground facing the stone throne and pose in various twisted postures.

On the stone throne, there was a ragged woman sitting on it motionless. Her eyes were closed on the backrest of the stone throne, and her hands were placed on the armrests on both sides. Overall, she seemed to be very tired, but if she pays attention, her chest did not float at all, as if she was completely calm as if she had lost her breath.

"Eve...Ae..."

At this moment, Erica's call emanated from the light ball in the sky, but this instantly awakened the woman on the throne.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at the ball of light, but her movement spread the dust that had accumulated on her body for a long time. But the woman didn't mind at all, and even the dust flying all over the sky did not cause any discomfort. She just waved her hand and tried to drive away some of the dust that blocked her vision. But what was even more strange was that the broken clothes on her body turned into pieces and fell on the throne after she gently moved her arm.

The woman still didn't mind at all. She stood up and stood up, walked naked to the edge of the pool in front of her, and then looked at herself through the reflection of the water surface. After a moment, the corners of the woman's mouth curled up and then started to laugh.

"I'm still alive... that means... I won?" The woman reached out and touched her face, but after a while she immediately showed a puzzled expression and said to herself: "No, did I lose? Wait... Who am I?"

Just when the woman was incoherent, she suddenly let out a chaotic low moan from the shadow behind the throne. The woman hurriedly looked up, and then saw her looking at the darkness motionless for a long time, and finally laughed inexplicably.

"Yes, I remembered it. I didn't win or lose. We just almost died together."

The woman moved her body happily, then looked up at the ball of light in the air.

"Well... Now that there are guests here...who will it be?"
