Chapter 212 – Battle Outside the City
Regarding the conditions proposed by the Steel Giant.
Sandra agreed without a second thought.
She nodded slightly to show her agreement.
"And also, I want you to become my queen!"
Looking at the nearly five-meter-tall Steel Giant in front of her.
Sandra's expression changed rapidly.
Their size difference was too great, it didn't seem appropriate.
"You... you're too big, we're not suitable!"
"No problem, I can shrink!"
A giant that can change size?
Sandra looked puzzled.
She had never heard of giants having such an ability.
"Um, may I ask which kingdom you are the king of?"
Sandra asked cautiously.
"I am the king of the Goblins!"
Upon hearing this, Sandra's face changed drastically.
The... the king of the Goblins?
He is the Goblin King?
"Just accompany me for a month each year, and besides, your husband is about to die!"
Sandra's face turned pale.
She looked down at her husband in her arms, stunned.
Perhaps she should die with her husband.
Instead of agreeing to the Goblin's conditions.
After all, it's a Goblin, Mors would go mad if he knew.
"Hmph!"
At this moment, Mors let out a painful groan.
His whole body was trembling slightly.
His face was twisted in agony.
He seemed to be enduring immense pain.
Her husband's pained face made Sandra's heart tighten.
She hesitated no longer and looked up at the Goblin King in front of her.
"I agree, I agree to everything!"
Inside the helmet, Li Meng grinned.
"Very well, my queen, remember what you said today!"
Li Meng swung his Big Iron Rod, pointing directly at the couple.
A brilliant blue magical glow erupted from Li Meng's body.
A stream of water appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the two of them.
Pure water element magic invaded their bodies.
Wherever it passed, the abyssal demon fire extinguished.
In no time, Mors's tense face relaxed.
Li Meng swung his Big Iron Rod again.
The water that appeared fell to the ground, soaking it.
Sandra, holding her husband, stared blankly at the Goblin King before her.
The Goblin King possessed water element magic tens of times purer than hers.
The abundant magic made her scalp tingle.
"Go on, go on, I have a fight with that guy, can't look after you."
Human light magic has excellent healing methods.
Li Meng didn't want to reveal that his flesh and blood had the ability to regenerate limbs.
Though Ogres also have this ability.
But Ogre meat is poisonous, and its effect only works once.
Sandra nodded slightly.
The Goblin King in front of her was strong, very powerful.
The aura emanating from it was palpable.
But was it really a Goblin King?
A Goblin King is just an elite-level creature.
How could it possibly have power comparable to a Saint-level powerhouse?
Sandra stood up, holding her husband.
The two staggered towards the breach.
"Who is he?"
"Don't know, but he seems to have saved Count Mors."
The soldiers on the city wall had no way to help Count Mors and his wife.
Ordinary people couldn't intervene in battles between powerhouses.
Not to mention ordinary people, even elite powerhouses couldn't intervene in battles between King rank powerhouses.
They could only watch helplessly as Count Mors was defeated.
The tall city walls and burning demon flames also prevented their rescue.
The commotion on the city wall didn't last long.
"Look, what... what is that?"
"Another... another army?"
At this moment, the humans on the city wall suddenly noticed dust rising in the distant canyon.
An even larger army was advancing towards the Garrison Fort.
The dark mass of figures stretched endlessly.
The Garrison Fort's army had less than twenty thousand troops.
And now Count Mors was severely injured.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even adventurers were a bit scared.
Many adventurers already had the urge to flee.
They were just adventurers doing a job for money.
If they lost their lives here, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Sir, we can't wait any longer!"
Seeing that the Flame Demon Lord and the Goblin King hadn't started fighting, Iron Face was getting anxious.
The wall already had a breach.
Now was the perfect time for the army to charge.
No matter how strong the Goblin King was, he couldn't block the breach alone.
Moreover, the Goblin King had no reason to help humans.
Iron Face's shout from behind made Douglas's expression change slightly.
He looked at the Flame Demon Lord with a hint of doubt.
Why wasn't the Flame Demon Lord moving?
Why wasn't it attacking the Goblin King?
Douglas raised his hand and waved it downwards.
Seeing this, Iron Face quickly blew the horn.
"Woo!"
The urgent sound of the horn echoed in the canyon.
"Demon tribe, charge!"
A group of ghost beastmen roared.
In a flash, more than a dozen ghost beastmen charged.
"The demon tribe has started attacking, archers ready!"
The demon army's charge stirred the humans on the city wall.
Archers in simple armor drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
The war priests of the Crystal Temple also raised their staffs, ready to serve war magic.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the Flame Demon Lord on the battlefield let out an angry roar.
The Flame Demon Lord's anger was related to Li Meng.
Li Meng made an international gesture in front of the breach in the city wall.
Although the Flame Demon Lord didn't know what raising the middle finger meant.
It could feel the provocation and insult.
The tall Flame Demon Lord swung its long flaming whip.
The whip instantly contracted into a large flaming sword.
It lifted its right foot and stomped heavily on the ground.
The ground cracked, and a huge fiery fissure spread in the same direction again.
"Hmph, the same move again, I'm not afraid of you!"
Li Meng snorted coldly, also lifting his right foot and stomping on the ground.
With a loud "boom," the ground shook.
At the same time, a brilliant blue magical glow erupted from Li Meng's body.
A wall of water sprayed from the spreading fissure.
In less than two seconds, fire and water collided on the battlefield.
"Boom!"
There was only a loud explosion.
The ground where fire and water collided was torn apart by the violent magic.
A mushroom cloud, half steam and half flame, slowly rose.
The ground within hundreds of meters was lifted into the air.
A visible shockwave swept outwards.
The charging ghost beastmen happened to pass by and were directly blown away.
"Roar!"
After one strike, the Flame Demon Lord let out another roar.
In a flash, it charged out.
At the moment it charged, the ground beneath its feet cracked.
A wave of scorching air exploded.
Its speed was so fast that it turned into a fiery red streak on the battlefield, rushing straight at Li Meng.
"I like close combat!"
Seeing the Flame Demon Lord charging over,
Inside the helmet, Li Meng grinned.
He swung his Big Iron Rod, and in a flash, charged out.
With a loud "boom," the ground beneath his feet caved in, forming a large pit.
Accompanied by a wave of air.
His speed was so fast, it was impossible to see clearly.
Only a black shadow could be seen sweeping across the battlefield.
