Chapter 187: Battle of the City
The night in the courtyard is not peaceful. Although goblins are not nocturnal monsters, they also like to attack other creatures at night.

If there are humans, they attack humans. If there are no humans, they will go looking for trouble with the monsters near their territory. If there are no monsters, they will just eat their own kind. They are the orc tribe whose mentality is closest to that of the devil.

Goblins are never at peace. They don't have a strong desire for destruction, but they are very greedy and bloodthirsty.

They are usually recruited by powerful demons. Because the goblins in hell that have not been recruited have already been killed by demons.

The demons don't like these green guys either.

The dark night no longer had much impact on Mu Hua, as his spiritual vision, which could see directly into ghosts, also gave him the ability of night vision.

Leading a team of terrifying cavalry on the journey, after nightfall, Mu Hua's team was not affected by the darkness. Among the group, Raven's eyesight was the weakest.

With a physical fitness of 500+, Mu Hua has unknowingly possessed attributes that he had never dared to imagine before.

Compared with ordinary people, Wubai's physique is very exaggerated, but now Mu Hua's vision has become much higher.

The blood of rage can give him a strength of five hundred, twenty tons, which should be enough to lift a heavy truck of lower specifications.

If you can't even move a tank, you're just a 'little spider' at best.

In this world where monsters roam the ground and demons are as numerous as dogs, Mu Hua basically does not have the awareness of a master.

He picks on the weak and is always ready to retreat and run away, even if it is a goblin with no strong talents.

I am afraid that riding at night will cause chaos along the way.

There is also a Valley of the Dead in Courtyard 375. The east-west valley blocks the road from the Goblin Kingdom to the Bloody Hills. Its eastern part extends southward and surrounds the Mechanical Forest adjacent to the Goblin Kingdom.

An undead area called Death Canyon became the boundary dividing the front and back halves of Courtyard 375.

Nowadays, the B31 area of ​​the Goblin Kingdom is rarely visited, and Mu Hua is even less conspicuous among the terror cavalry at night.

Some frightened goblins along the way even thought that the demons of the Mechanical Forest had instigated the undead to invade their territory.

They easily found the Goblin Castle in area B31 and lined up the Terror Knights behind the castle.

The goblin captain who was shouting on the city wall didn't seem to regard them as summoned beasts led by humans.

"Undead! Get out of here. This is the king's territory. There is nothing you need here."

"The king has reached an agreement with the lazy Valk. The Mechanical Forest has obtained the supplies we provided. We will be stationed here. This is not the place for you to come."

Holding two swords, the goblin centurion stood on the top of the city wall and shouted loudly.

When Mu Hua led his men to Tucheng, the city was already on high alert, but the goblin captain's tone did not sound too nervous at this time.

The Mechanical Forest is located in the eastern part of the Goblin Kingdom. For the time being, it is the place Mu Hua is most reluctant to go.

Because there are guns, modified monsters and magical life forms there, and there may even be mechas and mechanical demons.

Are all demons just dirt? They only know how to grin and swing their fists?
Come on, not all orcs are of that type.

Some high-ranking demons are even more sophisticated than human nobles. The ones that Mu Hua fished out from the abyss don’t count, because they’re all crazy…

Most demons with the bloodline of sloth are technology geeks, and humans' magical technology is likely learned from them.

Among all the original sins, laziness seems to be more closely related to jealousy, because the undead have many similarities with magical life to a certain extent.

The so-called agreements and resources mentioned by the Goblin Thousand Captain in front of him probably refer to the minerals here.

The undead are unreasonable in most cases, so the Goblin Thousand Captain simply brought up the Mechanical Forest.

But these have nothing to do with Mu Hua. He is here to fight in the wild. If he can fight, he will fight. If he can’t, he will run away.

To fight without declaration is unjust.

Righteousness... What the hell is righteousness? I'm not a hero.

Mu Hua came here to steal the city, but he didn't know what reconnaissance methods the other party had, so they had already prepared defensive measures before he arrived.

Don't communicate with the other party, and it's best not to let the other party know who you are after the call.

A flock of crows swooped down like a dark cloud. Mu Hua sent out blinding ravens first, but he intended to use the ravens to activate the magic trap under the city.

Flames, lightning, vines, sharp rocks, and muddy swamps.

One raven might not be able to activate a magic trap, but five or ten ravens could break into the trap's attack range and pose, looking for magic nodes to peck at.

Thunder and fire mixed together and explosions suddenly occurred in the originally peaceful city.

"Buzz~" A crystal wall-like magic barrier took shape under the impact of the elements, blocking the influence of the magic trap on the city wall.

The goblin centurion on the city wall was very conspicuous, but because of these magic barriers, Mu Hua did not try to take out Jam Sweetheart and shoot it.

He summoned the ravens again, and when they swooped down, a dense rain of arrows fell from the city.

Mu Hua also deployed a magic barrier in front of the raven, but unfortunately his magic was of a lower rank than the crystal wall on the city wall, and his level of training was too low.

At most, it was like the protection range of a tower shield. Mu Hua's magic barrier did not provide much protection for the crows.

Unable to activate the magic trap again, more ravens were shot dead by arrows, and after briefly blocking some arrows, Mu Hua's magic barrier was also shattered. The goblin's strange laughter came from the wall.

The information blockade prevented them from confirming the location of the spellcaster in the Terror Riders, but judging from the strength of the magic barrier, the goblins confirmed that the spellcaster was a rookie.

"Charge the city!" Facing the ridicule and insults, Mu Hua gave the order to the terrifying cavalry.

The cavalry charged. If it was said that Mu Hua was trying to clear the magic traps under the city, he was not targeting those thunder and fire traps.

Those explosive traps can be used by the Terror Riders to burst out their blood and withstand them, but the "Mud Swamp" among them is more troublesome.

The Death Swamp that can drown enemies within a certain range greatly affects the attack, and even the Terror Riders will find it difficult to escape.

This kind of trap is difficult to break with brute force, and it cannot be dispersed once it is formed. If you fall into it, the best way to get out is to use earth magic to harden the swamp, and then violently destroy the soil layer to escape.

Under the watchful eyes of so many archers, it was difficult for the Ravens to launch a full attack.

Mu Hua summoned the ravens again, and the ravens flew high into the sky, resuming their duties as scouts.

In a charge of less than 300 meters, five of the fifty Terror Riders died, and nearly ten others lost their horses.

The attack methods of magic traps are rigid and fixed, but they have extraordinary attack strength.

Their biggest feature is that they can be continuously charged and continuously strengthened.

The magic trap is not scary. What is scary is that it is set up and retained long enough. As the setting time goes by, the power of the magic trap will become stronger and stronger.

If enough energy is accumulated and absorbed, magic traps can even become immune to dispelling without the need for condensation or blessing.

In the city battle in the courtyard, when attacking the city, the first thing you face is often not the enemy, but the magic traps set by the enemy.

At this time, the terrifying cavalry under Mu Hua who had lost their war horses used their war horses to avoid the embarrassment of falling into the muddy swamp.

"Kong~Kong~" The strong energy slashed through the thorns that blocked the way, but several terrifying riders were still tripped by the thorn traps and their horses fell off.

The thorny vines that resembled strange pythons bound the body of the Terror Rider, and when the Terror Rider struggled, a teeth-grinding metallic friction sound was heard.

The number of the terrifying cavalry was large enough. Mu Hua left ten cavalrymen as guards and fifty cavalrymen to lead the way. Even after breaking through the thorns protecting the city, more than twenty cavalrymen still arrived at the foot of the city safely.

As the war horses and men stood, the heavy troops gathered their strength, and the cavalry prepared to use their combat skills to charge the city, a strong wave of magical power gathered on the city wall.

The wall of fire started, and the Infernal Steed blocked the high temperature flames from corroding the Terror Rider.

Those Terror Riders who had lost their horses were engulfed by pillars of fire rising into the sky before they could summon their Infernal Steeds again.

The undead are afraid of fire, and the Infernal Steeds they ride can make them resistant to fire magic to a certain extent. This is the fundamental reason why they do not put away their mounts even when attacking a city.

Fire walls, fire pillars, lightning nets, stone paths, lightning chains, and dozens of other spells with specific directions were thrown down from the city walls.

Perhaps in order to avoid the adverse effects of area magic on one's own defensive magic, a meteorite burning with scorching flames hit where Mu Hua was.

This is probably the difference between regular troops and small fry.

Although the monsters are all very ferocious, compared to those seemingly crazy monsters in the wild, the goblins here are like real warriors.

You can also encounter some goblin mages in the wild, but it is very rare for those goblin mages to throw a thunderbolt.

Fireballs, stone bullets, and lightning arrows are their main attack magic, and almost all the goblin mages here have some intermediate magic that they can show off.

"Boom! Boom!" The collision of magic and blood brought out waves of air.

Violent natural elements spread rampantly under the city.

After withstanding a wave of magic attacks, more than twenty Terror Riders blasted out the fortress and caused it to collapse.

The relatively concentrated attack shattered the magic crystal wall outside the city, but the magical halo of "strong city defense" rose again on the wall.

Mad, magic barrier, magic crystal wall, strong city defense, and maybe later there will be protection of the sky and the unbreakable fortress.

"The lotus of lava blooms forever." Mu Hua launched a group attack of fire meteorites. While cursing in his heart, he summoned the Terror Knights who had suffered many casualties again.

The Terror Rider reappeared, and between disappearing and reappearing, the Goblin Thousand Captain on the city wall confirmed the identity of the Terror Rider's summoned beast.

The Goblin Thousand Captain screamed and cursed. He hated summoned beasts, especially high-level summoned beasts like the Terror Knight. Damn it, a bunch of bastards who gave up the glory of knights!!!
"Boom! Boom! Boom~!" The meteorites of fire hit the city, and ripples of magical power appeared around the city.

The fire meteorite attack was powerful, but after one attack, it still could not break through the defensive magic outside the city.

The fearful cavalry charged again, and a light of blessing for courage rose from the city wall.

A passage close to the city wall had been crushed earlier. Now the cavalry only needed to avoid the muddy swamps and would not suffer losses along the way like before.

Magic traps are very powerful, but they are not that powerful just when they are thrown.

The trap absorbs external magic power autonomously. The longer it stays, the more powerful the magic trap becomes.

At this point, even if the spellcasters on the city walls cast magic traps again, it would be impossible to achieve the same result as just now.

Terror Knight, not that bad.
