Chapter 336: Chapter 191: A Difficult Battle, The All-Around Player
The Ordinary Goblins, including the Mutated Goblins, were nothing but cannon fodder to her, greatly reducing the pressure on the Guards in the area.
Feney was also busy. There were a great many wounded on the front lines, and her Healing Technique had been in use almost constantly. She was even getting ready to drink a Magic Potion.
Shefilya, on the other hand, stood guard by their side to prevent any accidents.
It wasn’t her time to act yet. She would naturally join in when necessary.
The slaughter continued. The defensive battle had already reached a fever pitch.
Lin Mo had already lost count of how many Goblins he’d killed... As for the Level 3 and Level 4 Bronze Goblins and Giant Goblins, he must have killed a dozen or so of them as well.
As a result, his Sword Storing and Continuous Slash, Thunder Strike Skill, and Bone-Piercing Heavy Stab Skills all leveled up.
"Skill: Sword Storing and Continuous Slash, Level 5 (180/180) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill: Sword Storing and Continuous Slash, Level 6 (12/300)"
"Skill: Thunder Strike Skill, Level 4 (100/100) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill: Thunder Strike Skill, Level 5 (7/180)"
"Skill: Bone-Piercing Heavy Stab, Level 4 (100/100) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill: Bone-Piercing Heavy Stab, Level 5 (0/180)"
In addition, he had also gained a good amount of Proficiency for Shadow Splitting.
He also made frequent use of Blizzard, a very useful large AOE skill, and accumulated a good deal of Proficiency for it.
However, as his Magic Power gradually depleted, Lin Mo began to use this skill less frequently.
In the grand scheme of the battle, killing a few dozen or even a hundred Goblins with this skill wasn’t particularly significant. The fighting had been continuous, and he had already consumed over half of his Magic Power. Lin Mo had more important things to do with what was left.
Great Healing Skill!
A grievously wounded Guard captain on the verge of death suddenly saw Holy Light flare before him. As the radiance enveloped him, his injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He didn’t even know who had cast the Magic. In his daze, he only seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure flashing past.
Great Healing Skill Proficiency +1!
"Skill: Great Healing Skill, Level 1 (10/10) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill: Great Healing Skill, Level 2 (13/20)"
’He was right.’ Compared to killing Ordinary Goblins, it was far more effective for Lin Mo to use his Magic Power to heal Silver Stream City’s key fighters.
Not only were these Guard captains quite powerful themselves, but they also held positions of local command.
Once they fell, or even died, the remaining Guards would likely descend into chaos. If this chaos were to spread, the collapse of the front line would only be a matter of time.
This defensive battle was so important that the Church had sent many Priests. However, leaving aside the question of whether their Healing was as effective as Lin Mo’s, they simply lacked the ability to provide it on the front lines.
Priests, a Profession just as Fragile as Mages—or perhaps even more so—naturally stayed in the far rear at all times.
If the wounded wanted their help, they first had to make it back to the rear, either on their own or with cover from their comrades.
And in a battle this intense, many people didn’t have a chance to pull back, even if they wanted to.
Only an all-rounder like Lin Mo could clear mobs, assassinate high-value targets, and heal.
However, there were far too many wounded. Lin Mo generally reserved his Healing Technique for those who were fairly strong and grievously injured. He simply didn’t have the capacity to tend to the ordinary soldiers.
There was no helping it. War was just that cruel. What one person could accomplish was ultimately limited.
For example, even though he had killed so many Bronze Goblins and Giant Goblins, at least several hundred soldiers and Adventurers had still died at the hands of the High Level Goblins.
’Unless one reached the Extraordinary realm, perhaps only then would it be possible to change the outcome of a war single-handedly...’
