Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1095: Flying spear



"Has anything happened recently?"

"Not that I'm aware of, it doesn't seem like the monsters are even bothering to come out anymore."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Don't let your guard down."

The last one to speak was the captain of the guards that had just come on duty.

This was a group of guards of the Antwerp Kingdom who were currently surrounding an entire forest.

This forest was one of the places where the monsters had been stirring in their kingdom, so they were here to keep the monsters contained while they were waiting for reinforcements from the empires to arrive.

Their Antwerp Kingdom had already contacted the Holy Empire for help and had received notice that the Holy Empire would be sending troops soon, so all they had to do now was keep the monsters contained until the reinforcements came.

It was just that all of the soldiers knew that it wasn't that simple.

Over the past period of time, more than half of them had been injured because of the monsters that came out of the forest. It really seemed like at this rate, it would only be a matter of time before they were overwhelmed by the goblins in this forest.

That was why the captain of the guard was angry with these guards for gossiping, even though he knew that they were just trying to keep their moods light in this situation.

He knew that they were just trying to stop themselves from losing all hope.

The soldiers didn't say anything in response to what the captain said since they knew that everyone was tense here.

But before any of them could say anything else, there was a sound that came from in front of them.

Everyone's brows immediately knitted when they heard this since they knew what this meant.

Right after this sound, there was a voice that rang out.

"It's an attack!"

At this, everyone raised their weapons and prepared for a fight as they watched the trees in the distance.

It didn't take long for small and green figures to come out of the trees.

These small and green figures were goblins, but they were already used to seeing goblins running out like this since it had been happening almost every day for the past while.

The soldiers moved with precision and experience as they took a line to stop the goblins from getting past them.

Behind that line of shield soldiers was another line of archers that shot arrows without stopping at the goblins. It was just that the goblins were able to ignore most of the arrows since they just weren't sharp enough to pierce their skin.

There were only a few arrows that they had to be careful of, the arrows that came from special archers that were strong enough to hurt them.

These arrows were able to take down a few goblins, but it wasn't nearly enough to stop the wave of goblins that were charging at the soldiers.

So the soldiers had no choice but to engage them.

Or it was better to say that they had no choice but to block them.

They didn't really fight the goblins, they just formed the line of shields to stop the goblins from getting any further away from the forest. At the same time, there were spears that came from the gaps in the shield wall that stabbed the goblins.

Though they had sturdy shields, not everyone was able to stop the goblins and it didn't take long for a few holes to appear in the line of shields. It didn't take long before there were deaths that came from the side of the soldiers.

Even if they didn't die, they were still injured by the goblins that were stronger than them.

It really seemed like the soldiers would be overwhelmed by the goblins at this rate, but then there was a loud sound that came from behind the soldiers. None of the soldiers had to turn around to see what it was since they all already knew.

This was the plan that they had to deal with these goblins in the first place.

There was a group of cavalry that suddenly charged out from behind the shield wall that swept through the goblins.

This group of cavalry was the elite cavalry of the Antwerp Kingdom, each one of them was an elite knight that had undergone severe training. Which was why they were able to sweep right through the goblins.

The shield soldiers were the distractions while the cavalry knights were the main forces.

It was just that doing this meant having to sacrifice shield soldiers to stop the goblins.

It would only be a matter of time before they ran out of shield soldiers to block the goblins. But seeing the cavalry knights charge through the goblins like this raised the morale of the soldiers and the shield soldiers even pushed back against the goblins.

After a single charge, the cavalry knights turned around as if they wanted to head back behind the shield soldiers. They had run out of momentum from their first charge, so they wanted to use the space that they created to head back to the safe area behind the shield soldiers.

It was just that they never got a chance.

"Woosh!"

There was a loud sound that cut through the air before...

"Crunch!"

One of the knights suddenly fell from the back of his horse and slammed into the ground. When he landed on the ground, everyone saw what had picked him off the horse and pinned

him to the ground.

It was a spear.

As for the sound, it was the sound of his metal armour being crushed by the force that the spear had been thrown at. It actually compressed it to the point where the front and back of the metal armour actually touched each other.

The knights only remained in a daze for a second before turning to look at where this spear had come from.

Standing there at the edge of the forest was a single hobgoblin.
