Chapter 339: Chapter 193: How Could This Be Fake?
"Could a Lord Level Goblin have appeared?"
At the same time, behind the front lines, Bishop Fletcher also noticed the shift in the battle.
As exceptionally special and high-status beings within the Goblin Race, the presence and appearance of a Lord Level Goblin was like a rallying banner for the Ordinary Goblins, greatly boosting their morale.
This was most likely the reason for the sudden surge of aggression from the Goblins on the battlefield.
’If that’s the case, we need to be on guard...’
The destruction a Lord Level Goblin could cause was terrifying.
Especially the one whose Threat Level exceeded Level 10, reaching the Elite Level. According to what Chairman Vick had said before, that creature was a Goblin Caster!
An Elite Level Mage, if allowed to run rampant on the battlefield, would spell utter doom not only for the ordinary soldiers, but even for the officers, powerful Adventurers like Landon, and even Lin Mo himself.
Chairman Vick stood atop a high tower, constantly observing the battlefield before him, his expression incredibly grave.
The moment that creature appeared, he would have to hold it back at all costs. Otherwise, if it were allowed to act freely, the main battlefront would likely be breached.
After all, the current situation for Silver Stream City was not at all optimistic; they were only barely holding the defensive line through a desperate struggle.
Therefore, he couldn’t make a move rashly before that creature revealed itself, so he could intercept it at the first possible moment.
This also meant that the other two Silver Level Goblins, which were below Elite Level, would have to be dealt with by someone else...
In the midst of the battlefield, Lin Mo also realized the source of the Goblins’ newfound fervor, recalling what Chairman Vick had said.
Three Silver Level Goblins. One was over Level 10, its specific Level unknown. But since it could suppress an Elite Level Adventurer like Chairman Vick without much difficulty, it probably wasn’t just Level 11, but had reached Level 12!
He and Shefilya together couldn’t possibly deal with an opponent of that level, let alone him by himself.
However, as the core figure on the Goblin side, Lin Mo believed it wouldn’t rashly expose itself to danger.
As for the remaining two Silver Level Goblins, one was Level 7, and the other was Level 9.
Lin Mo glanced at his current panel.
Level 6 Mage, Level 4 Warrior and Assassin, Level 3 Knight...
To be honest, in a head-on confrontation with a Level 7 Goblin, Lin Mo probably wouldn’t have much of an advantage.
After all, before reaching a certain level, the Mage was a Profession geared more toward damage output and wasn’t particularly strong in direct confrontations.
However, his balanced Attributes allowed him to always find an edge, even against stronger opponents. And since his Mage Profession had reached Level 6, crossing the threshold into the Senior Level, he didn’t really need to worry about a lack of damage output.
’So, challenging an opponent one Level higher might not be that difficult...’
As for the Level 9 one, Lin Mo looked behind him. A familiar figure had, at some point, advanced deep into the battlefield and was now heading his way.
Since they were on a battlefield, Shefilya dispensed with unnecessary formalities, giving only a slight bow before approaching Lin Mo.
"If the opponent is the Level 9 Lord Level Goblin, what are your chances?"
Lin Mo asked, somewhat curious.
To this day, he still wasn’t sure of the full extent of Shefilya’s power.
Shefilya pondered for a moment—not for long, just a second or two—before replying, "Defeating it would be difficult, but there’s a chance I could assassinate it."
It sounded contradictory, but for the Assassin Profession, this was actually the norm.
In a direct confrontation, the Assassin Profession couldn’t win against most other Professions.
An Assassin’s advantages lay in surprise attacks and burst damage; just because they couldn’t win a head-on fight didn’t mean they couldn’t get the kill.
Answering this way, Shefilya had undoubtedly revealed the extent of her abilities.
To be able to assassinate a Level 9 Lord Level Goblin, her own strength had to be at least close to Level 9.
"Good."
Lin Mo nodded. In that case, there was no need to worry too much.
However, the enemy was hidden while they were exposed, so they still had to be extra careful in the coming battle.
Lin Mo activated his [Shadow Splitting] Skill again. This time, instead of launching an aggressive attack, he had his Clone retreat to a position further back on the battlefield while his main body continued its previous task: finding and killing the "tough nuts" among the Goblins.
[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash]!
Since his main Mage Profession needed to conserve as much Magic Power as possible for the eventual fight against the Silver Goblin, Lin Mo decided to go old school, once again picking up the [Invisibility] + [Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] combo he had used for a long time.
Lin Mo had received Attribute boosts from numerous Professions, on top of various status buffs and equipment bonuses. As a result, even though his Warrior Profession was only Level 4, a fully charged [Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] was enough to instantly kill a Level 4 Bronze Goblin or Giant Goblin.
As for Level 5 Goblins, while they were a bit more trouble, it was just a matter of using a few more attacks.
In any case, Lin Mo’s Qi and Blood and Physical Strength were still plentiful, so he could keep fighting for a long time...
[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] Skill Level +25
[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] Skill Level +2
...
[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] Skill Level +30
[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] Skill Level +1
It wasn’t just the powerful Goblins; whenever he had energy to spare, Lin Mo would also send one or two streams of Sword Qi flying in other directions, conveniently killing off swathes of other nearby Goblins.
