The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Green But Not Lizards

Fifty metres from the Goblin Tribe, they paused to wait for the military units' orders.

[There are more monsters coming, you guys are really slow.] Hawk chastised them.

[What's coming?] Karl asked, wondering if it needed to be relayed.

[Orcs maybe? Really big green things that aren't lizards. About twenty of them. They are coming from the far side of the camp from you, so you can fight them last.]

Karl whispered the update into the handheld radio that Alice was carrying, and got back a click from the Captain in return, letting him know that he understood but couldn't speak right now.

Then came the single tone to start the attack, and Karl led the charge into the camp with Thor beside him.

[Remember, not too far in. Everyone is following us this time.] Karl reminded him.

He turned the flat of his sword on the closest guard, and swatted him like a cricket ball, sending the goblin flying halfway across the camp before landing in a crumpled heap.

Alice gave him a look as if to say "seriously" as the camp turned to face them, and the Goblins began to form up and charge their way.

The spider golems raced past everyone, tearing apart Goblins at a frantic pace, and every bit as messy as Rae when she attacked them the first time. Now she was more careful, in case she got Goblin blood in her mouth, but compared to the two Golems, Thor's crushing attacks and Karl's hurled bodies were only a minor distraction.

That was when the military units struck, cutting into the side of the camp with a wave of spells before they charged forward.

It was textbook perfect. Not a single one of the Goblins was watching the flanks when the attack started, and they fell by the dozens.

Karl swept through the Goblins with Rend, using lower power and wide swings of his sword to send out arcs of energy that sliced through waves of them, while Hawk rained down huge fiery explosions from the air. He had gotten the dispersed version of Fireball to work, and the effect was terrifying in a Goblin camp.

Then, the Spider Golems expanded to five metres tall, and Rae began to laugh hysterically.

The Goblins were terrified, but the Golems had no intentions of slowing down. Lotus looked inordinately proud of herself for the [Giant Growth] spell, which only worked on plant type lifeforms.

The Goblins couldn't even flee, they were being slaughtered wholesale, and the enlarged golems could spear multiple Goblins per second while running on six of their eight legs.

But the Orcs were here, and they weren't about to miss out on a good fight.

It was the screams from the military units that attracted Karl's attention to the disaster about to unfold. Six Orcs, green skinned humanoids, two and a half metres tall, with elongated lower tusks and black dreadlocks, had charged into the military lines, and their blades were shattering the [Guard] abilities of the warriors like glass.

[Spider Golems, go help the soldiers until I can get there.] Karl ordered.

They were the only ones that could move across the camp that quickly, but the whole group was moving forward at a steady walk.

The spider golems reached the Orcs in only a few seconds, and the military unit retreated to let them fight, but the Orcs also split up, three to a Golem. They had tactics, and while one kept the Golem busy, two hacked each of them apart faster than Lotus could repair them.

Rae was shocked. Her golems were more durable than she was, so if she had gone with them, wouldn't she have been hacked apart as well?

She summoned another pair as the Orcs turned back to the military unit, but they would be too late to get there before the unit was in trouble again.
