Goblins arrive

„WE MARCH AT DAWN!" The leading goblin king said. Knowing what is at stake, he wanted to increase the morale of the soldiers at much as possible.

Though they knew a bit about the capabilities of their enemy, due to some goblins that escaped the fight 3 weeks ago, he still didn't want the soldiers to be demoralized when they realized that their enemies could fly. Every soldier on the ground was basically just cannon fodder and there was basically no hope of them killing any enemies.

„THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET, OF OUR RACE IS IN DANGER. SO I ASK YOU TO FIGHT, TO GIVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!" The goblins were extremely motivated and started screaming. Though they didn't exactly know about the strength of their opponent, they knew that they were part of the most terrifying army ever assembled.

Their morale was high. On the way here they had plundered and raped defenseless goblins, but the commanders chose to overlook those misgivings and instead took part in them themselves. After all they stood right before a war concerning the safety of every being on the planet. There was no time or mind to spare about the weakest creatures.

As they started walking, the earth trembled. Half a million goblins were marching in rhythm. Their increased strength shocking the earth. There were barely any goblins below the peak of the Body Refinement Realm. This meant that they could move with a high speed and arrived at the location of the previous fight after just a few hours.

The cliff walls were destroyed and scorched from the fight. The ground seemed to be cut into by thousands of swords and was filled with blood and corpses. Most of them killed by just a single stabbing wound.

„We will rest here for half an hour. Be careful from here on out. Last time the kingdoms army suffered from an ambush. We will not make the same mistake. According to reports, those invaders have an atta k that condenses blades of light in the air. So watch out for that."

At this moment the leading goblin, his name is Gronzk, was glad that he gave the morale-raising speech earlier. Most weak goblins were shocked by how easily the corpses around them seemed to have been killed. You could even still see the shock and terror in the eyes of the dead.

After a short rest to ensure that everybody was still in top condition, they continued their journey. Though the valley was littered with corpses, walking around it would have taken even longer so they chose to walk through it. As they continued, they got angrier at the death of the people of their race but at the same time more fearful.

As the time passed the army got closer to the village where survivors reported the invaders originally came from. This would soon be the place of their final rest as well.

Finally they reached the village after a march that filled everyone with some fear and uncertainty. But when they arrived it was instantly blown away.

Before them stood the ruins of a village. In the sky above 200 beautiful creatures flew, most of them having beautiful, white wings but there were also some black, illusory, burning and other colored wings. Among those creatures two of them stood out. Both of them had four eyes instead of two and they even seemed more majestic than the rest.

As the goblins spotted them, most of them were surprised. „That's it? Only 150 in the Sea Expansion and 50 in the Foundation Establishment Realm? This will barely be a fight. I always knew that Karok was weak."

The goblin who wanted to attack due to his hot-headedness spoke arrogantly.

Due to their high innate talent and cultivation technique, the Angels seemed to appear a realm higher than they actually were to enemies. For that reason the goblin thought that he would fight Sea Expansion Realm enemies.

„They are very beautiful though, leave some alive for me! I want to taste their bodies after this is over." The king who said this spoke very loud. Even the Angels were able to hear it. But he would soon come to regret it as something dark flew out of his shadow and pierced his heart."

„Hmpfh, how dare you cover our sacred bodies! The only one worthy of them is the Lord." The Angel of Darkness sneered in disdain.

This was a technique she had recently learned on her own. It allowed her to manipulate the shadow of her opponent into a weapon she desired and attack them with it. The only downside was that she needed a lot of concentration and the target would have to be caught off-guard. Usually she would have liked to keep it a secret for longer, but she had to avenge the insult.

„Activate the trapping formation!" The Archangel who led the entire operation spoke. A male Angel channeled some energy into a role he held and suddenly clear walls made of energy appeared around the goblin army and them. One of the Sea Expansion Realm goblins tried to destroy it but it only rippled.

This was a given since this was one of the strongest formations that the Angels had the capibility to create at the moment. This fact also showed in the price tag, since Ezequiel spent an entire 5 Billion faith points just to create the materials. It was called the „Earth Entrapping formation" and was of Peak Spirit grade.

The Formation Master had to reduce the grade to even be able to set it up. It also wouldn't have been possible had the Death Saint not broken through to the Sea Expansion Realm and now produced 2.5 Billion Faith Points per day. Had he relied only on his normal Angels it would have taken him 2 months just to create the materials.

The strength of the formation led to fear appearing inside the mind of the ground goblins. They had just witnessed someone they thought was invincible be taken out without seeing the attacker, and now they were trapped inside here together with 200 unknown creatures.

„DONT PANIC!" The voice of Gronzk resounded, trying to restore order. „We still outnumber them 500.000 to 200. ATTACK TOGETHER!"

The scared goblins regained their bearing and realized that the words of their leader made sense, and started marching towards the enemy again.

„Eat the pills now." The Archangel spoke and every single Angel ingested a „Energy Regeneration Pill" of Peak Mortal grade. It would boost the regeneration of spiritual energy by 200% for the next two hours. With the amount of enemies they faced they would need it to finish all of them off.

At this moment, Ezequiel, who was watching the developements through his connection with the Saint, spent another 10 Billion Faith Points to condense a blessing for his Angels. Luckily the Angel of Death had already broken through a week ago, but right now he didn't even have a billion Faith Points left.

‚Lets just hope that no accidents happen during the fight. But for now, please grant me a good blessing RNGesus!"
