Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

A group of new creatures have recently arrived in this forest.They are ape-like creatures that can walk upright.

They usually wander in the forest in units of seven, and are actually not much bigger than goblins.This creature is actually within a very suitable hunting range for goblins.

It was out of this consideration that a dozen goblins launched an attack while this creature was resting.

However, the results were completely different from what they expected.

Although the number is rare, these rare numbers together give the goblins the feeling of having nowhere to start, as if they were encountering a forest tortoise wearing a carapace.The weapons in the hands of these creatures are also slenderer and sharper than their weapons.

It's very dangerous...or perhaps even more dangerous than the large beasts in the forest that they dare not provoke.

Although wisdom is only in its infancy, the lame goblin can still make such a judgment.

Stay away from dangerous things.

Especially when it was brought into the camp of those hairless apes, the scene there felt strange and frightening to the lame goblin who was used to living in the forest.

After escaping from the camp of the upright apes, the lame goblin returned to the tribe.

It would be difficult for a disabled goblin to survive in the camp.Because the disabled are regarded as the spare rations of the clan.

But the lame goblin must return, because he will die faster in the wild alone.

Fortunately, I once picked up a treasure stone that the leader loved. After presenting it, it was recognized by the leader. Even if he was disabled, he could be accepted by the clan instead of being killed directly.

Having arrived at the camp of those terrifying erect apes, the lame goblin was well aware of the dangers of those monsters. He also told the leader that he should run away.

But, of course, it got beaten up.

Finding a permanent campsite is not easy.Hasty migration represents danger.At the same time, this also symbolizes the incompetence of a leader who will be replaced by a new and stronger goblin.

The lame goblin was driven out of the cave.

Only the females and strong individuals of the clan can live in the warm cave, while the weaker ones can only live on the flat land outside the cave.

A bonfire was lit outside the camp at night.

Goblins can use fire, but of course, fire is not used to grill food.Fresh flesh and blood is far more delicious than burnt food.

Fire is used to drive away wild beasts in the forest.

The forest is even more dangerous at night, when many ferocious beasts are active.This is also an important part of a clan camp, at least having a stable place to rest at night.

In addition to driving away wild animals, fire can also provide warmth.

However, the position near the fire was also occupied by stronger goblins.People like it can only stay on the outer edge.

The long night is about to dawn, and the sky is no longer pitch black, but a light purple.The lame goblin woke up from the cold.It tightened its thin hide.This time is the coldest time of the day.

The original bonfire has been extinguished, but the embers are still warm.Looking at his kind lying beside the fire, asleep, with saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth, the lame goblin swallowed.

It no longer felt sleepy, so it simply leaned against the stone and stared at the darkness outside the camp.

When you see darkness, you feel scared, and you always feel that there is some danger hidden in the darkness.

Originally, it had no such thoughts, but after escaping from that terrible place, looking at the darkness would give him such a feeling.

Daybreak came very quickly, and before you knew it, the sky was already a fish-belly white color.

The lame goblin was still looking at the woods in a daze, trapped in the terrible memories of the past. It seemed to hear the familiar sound of metal collision in its ears.

Wait...sound?

The lame goblin's eyes widened and he suddenly woke up from his daze.

Because it really heard the sound, from far to near.

The metal collided like the bells of death.

Chapter 10 Strangulation

Marching at dawn when visibility is low is a great test of the discipline and will of the army.But this was no problem for the combined Roman armies to which the camp belonged.

These soldiers themselves belonged to the elite of the legion, and they underwent rigorous training under the command of Centurion Poluk.

When the army approached its destination, dawn had just broken.Asking the entire army to stop temporarily and looking at the sky, the fully armed Poluk nodded with satisfaction.

This cleanup mobilized all the armed forces in the camp.Except for a small group of soldiers left to guard the camp, the rest of the force is here.

Two teams of soldiers were left in the forest as reserve teams, and only 50 soldiers actually participated in the clearing of the camp.

But even with only 50 people, Poluk maintained plenty of confidence.

"May the brilliance of humanity shine on this land, and this battle will be won in return for Lord Kazama."

The mobilization before the war has already been done, so there is no need to say too much about what to do next.

Poluk led the team to move forward, and soon saw the green-skinned monster camp tracked by Tiberias.

Goblins are creatures that rise by day and stay at night. At this time, most goblins are still asleep.

From a military perspective, the camp in front of him was not a 'camp' at all in Poluk's eyes.There was no one on guard, it was just a gathering place for a ragtag group of people.

Of course, Poluk also knew that judging these greenskins with his own eyes would be too high a view of them.

The commotion caused by so many people touching the edge of the camp was not small in the silent forest. Although they were sleeping, the goblins were not completely unsuspecting idiots.Many goblins who heard the noise opened their eyes and got up from the ground.

But obviously, it was too late.

Poluc integrated the formation, and the combined Roman soldiers holding rectangular shields and spears stood at the front.Gaps were left in between, and after these gaps soldiers came out with javelins in hand, assuming a throwing posture.

Following Poluk's order, the soldier aimed the javelin in his hand at the target and threw it hard.

The ancient Roman army's medium and long-range attack methods were really lackluster.There is no military unit such as archers in the army structure. Their long-range attack methods mainly rely on javelins and slings.Only in the later Byzantine period did the javelin gradually become obsolete.

Of course, this does not mean that the javelin is weak.In terms of penetration at a certain distance, the javelin far exceeds that of the bow and arrow.

The first round of javelins fell, and flowers of blood instantly splashed in the open space of the Goblin camp. The powerful javelin instantly penetrated the Goblin's body.A very few unlucky ones were even directly strung up by javelins.

This round of javelins completely awakened the quiet goblin camp.

The strong smell of blood lingering in their noses awakened the ferocity of these goblins, and they all rushed towards the United Roman soldiers at the edge of the camp with the bone spears or wooden sticks beside them.

In this regard, Poluk's expression did not change at all.

Similarly, the expressions of the soldiers under his command did not change at all.

Poluc raised his left hand high, and the Roman soldiers around him, except for the vanguard who raised his shield, all assumed throwing postures again.

Although the javelin is very powerful, it is not convenient to carry on the battlefield. Generally speaking, a soldier will only carry two javelins.

After the two javelins were thrown, it was a close combat.

Another round of javelin rain fell, and dozens of Goblins charging forward fell to the ground, but more Goblins came up to kill them.

Following Poluk's command, the United Roman soldiers, who were somewhat loosely positioned, instantly became compact.The shield-bearing soldiers walked in the front, and the spearmen guarded on both sides.

Part of Rome's military tradition was inherited from Greece, and part of it was barbarian warfare.This is also why he is not good at bows and arrows.After all, Greece uses the phalanx as its absolute main force, and the barbarian tactics are better at close combat.

In other words, fighting in close combat is what the combined Roman soldiers are really good at.

The compact battle formation stayed in place, like a dark and hard seaside rock, quietly waiting for the impact of the tide.

Goblins with weapons in their hands had already charged forward ferociously.In their eyes, their number is several times that of these upright apes. As long as they get in front of them and besiege them, they can easily capture them.

But when they hit the square shield and the weapons hit the phalanx, the phalanx did not waver at all.

On the contrary, the sharp spears protruding from both sides of the gap between the square shields easily penetrated and tore apart the dozens of goblins that impacted the square shields.

It does look like the tide is crashing on the reef, but the reef is standing still, and instead the waves are being blown away.

At this time, the battle formation finally started to move.

Along with the sound of heavy footsteps, the goblins began to push back and forth.

No goblin can stop the advance of the united Roman phalanx.Those standing in the way were left with only corpses.

The speed of the goblins charging forward slowed down, and many stopped and let out sharp roars.It seems that through this kind of intimidation, they want to drive away these upright apes.

But unfortunately, what they encountered was a professional army.The heavy pace was not messy at all until now, and there was a resolute and indifferent expression under the visor and helmet.

Looking at the terrifying Ape erectus gradually approaching, the goblin's face showed a look of horror.

The goblin's charging posture stalled, and instead began to flee in all directions.

"This is not okay..."

Poluk shook his head. Kazama's order to him was to completely wipe out these green-skinned monsters to ensure the subsequent agricultural production.

Under Poluk's order, the compact battle formation changed.The group of five became loose.

A group of five people began to strangle the goblins around them.

Of course, each group also maintains a certain distance to cover each other.

The premise is...the goblin must still have the courage to fight back.

But now, it’s basically a one-sided harvest without any suspense.

Suddenly there was a deafening roar in the distance, and a goblin walked out of the cave.

This goblin is much stronger than the others of its kind, almost 1.6 meters tall.He was wearing leather armor and holding a heavy stone ax in his hand.

Amidst its roar, the Goblins who had been fleeing stopped in their tracks, and the remaining soldiers who survived began to gather towards the position of the majestic Goblin.

"The leader of the green-skinned monsters?"

Poluk narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the cave was mentioned in the information obtained by Tiberias, it did not mention the leader.

Tiberia picked up the spear in his hand, held it behind his back, and raised it high.

The Goblin leader on the other side looked at his men who suffered heavy casualties, and was frightened and angry. His eyes gradually turned red, and he rushed towards the nearest Ape erectus with a stone ax in hand.

But just as it took steps, a sharp sound broke through the air.The metal spear head penetrated directly through the thick neck of the Goblin leader, and with its body, it was nailed back to the ground.

The range of the javelin is generally only about 25 steps, and a skilled soldier can throw it as far as [-] steps away.

Poluk's shot had already exceeded fifty steps, and the most rare thing was that he accurately killed the target.

After throwing out the spear in his hand, Poluk calmly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed the tip of the sword straight ahead.

Chapter 11 Extermination

There is no suspense in the next battle.

The goblins that had reunited due to the appearance of the goblin leader showed signs of collapse again.What awaited them was the sharp spear fired by the terrifying Ape erectus from behind.Soon, there was no more standing Goblin in the clearing.

Some goblins took advantage of the chaos and fled into the forest. Poluk arranged three groups of reserve soldiers in the forest just for this kind of situation.

Even after the incident, a few goblins still escaped... As long as this kind of green-skinned monster is not large-scale, a single individual will never threaten the camp.

The combined Roman soldiers stopped their killing and began to clean up the battlefield.Use a spear to stab the goblin lying on the ground in the vitals, and perform a last-ditch attack.

This kind of work was originally performed by the reserve or auxiliary corps.The main job of the united Roman soldiers was to fight frontally on the battlefield.But now we don’t have enough manpower, so we have to do it ourselves.

After mending a circle of swords, the soldiers gathered around Poluk again. There was still the last part of this battle.

Poluk looked at the cave ahead. The cave was naturally formed. The entrance was about two meters high, and there were rough traces of repairs by goblins.

Those who had just participated in the battle were all adult male goblins, and no females or cubs were seen.These two are the most important to a group.

The entrance to the cave is not wide and can only accommodate three people walking side by side.

Poluk mobilized a team and then led the team into the cave.

The dark cave was illuminated by the orange light of the torch, and the cave was filled with a stench similar to that of a pigsty.

There was a goblin wearing animal skin huddled in the corner.They are fatter than ordinary goblins, and their breasts also have the symbol of breast milk.

Seeing the approaching fire and hearing the shaking of the armor, the trembling goblin suddenly jumped up.In its hand, it held a bone dagger polished from hard animal bones, and it stabbed the United Roman soldiers in front of it, but just before she was in mid-air, she was split in half by the iron sword.

The narrow area of ​​the cave is not suitable for using long weapons, but there is still no problem in wielding the iron sword.

The body of the female goblin fell to the ground, revealing the haystack behind the rock wall.Seven or eight palm-sized cubs were huddled in a pile of hay.

Without waiting for Poluk to issue an order, soldiers stepped forward and killed the Goblin cubs.

Soldiers are unknown weapons.

In the face of alien species and the war for survival, the professional army will not waver in any way.

Poluk's eyes turned to the pile of cub corpses, and his expression became serious.
