Chapter 587: Fighting the Hobgoblins (1/2)
”Retreat!”
The entire group started retreating in an orderly manner while the knights protected their rear. Theo and his clone also summoned their Magic Bullets and fired at the two hobgoblins to buy time.
The hobgoblins covered their weapons with a green-colored aura and smashed the Magic Bullets with ease as though hitting flies. They didn't even flinch when the explosion tried to blow their weapons away.
”Oh, that's quite dangerous,” Theo muttered and looked at the groups. ”Scenario B.”
”Scenario B!”
They all shouted in succession, informing all people around them.
After getting that instruction, the group started to spread out. The twelve knights that brought the rear then split themselves into four groups and fled in different directions.
”Kroark!” The goblins were surprised and tried to chase those in front of them. Soon, the goblin split into four. A few minutes earlier, they managed to kill fifty goblins, and it made the situation easier for the Magicians to concentrate their attacks on one spot and kill them one by one.
Unexpectedly, the hobgoblins continued to follow Theo and Agata as if they had recognized them as their primary targets, not caring about the other goblins or humans.
Theo couldn't help but say, ”Agata, you go help the furthest one to clear the monsters here.”
”What are you going to do?” Agata furrowed her eyebrows, feeling something wasn't right.
”I'm going to bring these two hobgoblins away of course.” Theo nodded before glancing at Enrica. ”You and Ava will go with me.”
”Roger.”
”Kyu!”
”Are you sure about this?” Agata asked one last time with a concerned face.
”Yes. Although I want to level up, I will try to handle these two level 430 hobgoblins first. If this strategy doesn't work, I can polish my plans in the next camp. That's why this is going to be important.”
She was reluctant to do it, but since Theo had a plan on his mind, she agreed with a sigh. ”I understand.”
”Okay.” Theo nodded and shouted, ”I'm going to leave this group. The rest will fight on their own. There won't be a change of plan at this point.”
They began to transmit Theo's command and were shocked that they didn't have a leader that controlled them. Still, as one would expect from an elite Holy Knight Order, they didn't panic and knew what to do.
After that, Theo summoned his Magic Bullets again and spread them to the side as he walked to the right, away from the others. The Magic Bullets flew in succession, hitting the hobgoblin and taking their attention.
Seeing Ava and Theo, who managed to block their attacks, moved to the side, the hobgoblins decided to follow them without giving any order to the normal goblins other than to not bother them.
Theo looped around the goblin army and returned to their settlement, planning to use this small and messy plain as his battlefield.
When he arrived, he checked his surroundings to make sure no monsters were hiding. Then, he raised his spears and pointed them at the two hobgoblins.
