Gathering Goblins

In this way another 20 days passed. On the morning of this day Ezequiel had summoned another Archangel. Though he wouldn't be a huge addition in the ever-closer coming battle, he could still help out by giving commands. With the help of the Archangels special ability that would boost combat strength by 10%. Every additional increase in strength was welcome.

This also meant that the number of Angels under Ezequiel had increased to 200. Though it was still a small number, the overall combat strength had increased as well. Ezequiel saw hope in the upcoming battle. But he wasn't the only one.

„When will we finally begin marching?" A goblin that seemed to feel very important asked in an annoyed tone.

A group of about 7 goblins stood in the sky. Below them almost half a million goblins were gathered. This showed how important they were. After all the were the leaders of the seven kingdoms that dominated the 2 largest continents of the planet.

„I agree with him. Even if it is out of a different reason." Another goblin suddenly said. Both of them had spoken to probably the biggest goblin on this planet. With a height that neared almost 1.90 meters, he was the goblin equivalent of a 3 meter tall human.

„Hmpff. Both of you are still ignorant. Though the cultivators of the northern and southern continent are less in number compared to us, we still can not underestimate the otherworlders." The tall goblin spoke in a tone that wouldn't leave room for any opposition. The other 4 goblin kings also agreed with him. He was the leader of the strongest kingdom of the planet and also publicly acknowledged as the strongest goblin.

„The history of your kingdom is still far too short to know about the terror of the otherworlders." He spoke to the goblin king who spoke up first. „And your youth blinds your decision making." He reprimanded the second goblin.

At this moment the goblins they were talking about finally arrived, one group from the north and the other from the south. They were the kingdoms of the two weakest continents and also the last ones to arrive. It seemed like they didn't yet understand the size of the threat they faced.

„Hmph, so you finally decided to show up. About time you made it here." The goblin who spoke second once again seemed to search for a conflict, but he was interrupted by the biggest goblin.

„I'm glad that you've made it in time. Your soldiers may rest for 12 hours until we will finally set off. The time to save the planet has finally come." He knew that now was not the time to discuss. They would need every single fighter they could get for the upcoming battle.

As the 7 goblins started talking with the leaders of the two groups that just arrived, they missed a dark spot that suddenly left the shadow of a rock close to the ground troops.

Back at the village, Ezequiel noticed that the Angel of Shadow had just returned. As she made her way towards the center of the village, which was the temporary gathering point for all Angels, Ezequiel signaled for her to report the things she had learned.

„Reporting to the Almighty Lord Creator. According to the energy signatures that they gave off, there should be around 250 Sea Expansion Realm Goblins. There are also around 6.000 goblins in the Foundation Establishment and around half a million below that."

‚This is crazy!' Ezequiel was completely baffled by the number of enemies.

Of course he knew that the goblin king had alarmed every single kingdom in the world, but he hadn't expected them to send all of their strongest soldiers.

As it stood, his Angels were outnumbered completely. Even on the high-tier battlefield they would have to fight 1:30. It seems like there was some kind of additional strategy needed for the upcoming fight.

At the moment, Ezequiel had 1 Angel in the Sea Expansion Realm, 145 in the Foundation Establishment and 55 in the Energy Refinement Realm.

Luckily the Saint had already broken through again and even began to understand a bit of Death Intent. This meant that he alone would be able to fight at least 100 Sea Expansion Realm enemies. Ezequiel would then have all the Angels in the 3rd and some in the 2nd stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm fight the rest of the Sea Expansion goblins, whilst those in the first stage would shred through the goblins in the same realm with the help of the commands of the newly summoned Archangel.

The Energy Refinement Angels would simply rain down spells on the low-level goblins and help out on the Foundation Establishment battle from time to time.

One very important thing for the plan was that Ezequiel had finally summoned a combat formation master a few days ago. That was basically a specialization for normal array masters to use their formations with the help of troops on the battlefield. It could increase the strength of each individual unit.

If the Archangel controlled the combat formation, the effectiveness would increase even more, since she had a better command over each individual Angel and could make the most of the formation.

At this moment Ezequiel spoke to all the Angels in the entire territory. This would boost their morale significantly.

„In just 12 hours we will be attacked by heretics, that want to take you down. But how dare they covet the life of my subjects. You will strike them down in my name and send their souls to hell!"

Afterwards he told the Archangel the specifics of the plane. Obviously he hadn't just created it from nothing but actually asked each Angel about their exact strength and found out that most 2nd stage Foundation Establishment Angels were confident on taking on 2 Sea Expansion Realm Goblins with the help of the Formation.

According to the finalized plan, they would actually not take the initiative. They would wait for the goblins to come to the village, where they had already laid out a defensive as well as a trapping formation. This time they would wipe out the entire world's combat strength.

Ezequiel was just one giant battle away from world-domination.
