Chapter 212: The Battle Outside the City
Regarding the conditions proposed by the Steel Giant, Sandra agreed without hesitation.
She nodded slightly, signaling her consent.
“And also, I want you to beco my Princess!”
Looking at the towering Steel Giant before her, nearly five ters tall, Sandra’s expression fluctuated.
Their size difference was so vast—it didn’t seem appropriate.
“You... you’re too big; we’re not compatible!”
“It’s fine. I can shrink!”
A giant who could grow bigger or smaller?
Sandra’s face was filled with doubt.
She had never heard of giants possessing such an ability.
“Excuse , but may I ask, which kingdom are you a king of?”
Sandra asked cautiously.
“I am the king of goblins!”
Upon hearing this, Sandra’s expression changed dramatically.
Go... Goblin King?
It was a Goblin King?
“Just one month a year is enough, and besides, your husband is on the brink of death!”
Sandra’s face turned pale.
She lowered her head and blankly gazed at her husband in her arms.
Perhaps she should die together with her husband rather than agree to the goblin’s demands.
After all, it was a goblin. If Mors knew, he would go mad.
“Hmph!”
At that mont, Mors let out a pained groan.
His entire body trembled slightly, his face contorted in pain.
It seed he was enduring imnse suffering.
Seeing her husband’s agonized face tightened Sandra’s heart.
She hesitated no longer, raising her head to look at the Goblin King before her.
“I agree. I’ll do whatever you want!”
Inside his helt, Li ng grinned.
“Good. My Princess, rember what you said today!”
Li ng swung the massive iron rod in his hand, pointing it directly at the couple.
Azure magical energy surged from his body, and a stream of water appeared out of thin air, enveloping the two of them.
The pure water elental magic seeped into their bodies, extinguishing the Abyssal Demon Flas wherever it passed.
In no ti, the tension on Mors’ face eased.
Li ng waved his iron rod again, and the water stream fell to the ground, soaking the earth.
Sandra, holding her husband, stared blankly at the Goblin King before her.
The Goblin King possessed water elental magic dozens of tis purer than hers.
The abundant magical energy made her scalp tingle.
“Go, go now. I have a fight with that guy and won’t be able to protect you.”
Li ng didn’t want to reveal his body’s ability to regenerate severed limbs, even though ogres shared this capability.
However, ogre flesh was poisonous, and the effect only worked once.
Sandra nodded slightly.
The Goblin King before her was strong, incredibly strong.
The aura it exuded alone was intimidating.
But was it really a Goblin King?
A Goblin King was rely an elite-tier monster.
How could it possess power comparable to a saint-level combatant?
Holding her husband, Sandra stood up and staggered toward the breach in the wall.
“Who is that?”
“I don’t know, but it seems he saved Earl Mors.”
The soldiers on the city wall had no way to assist the Earl and his wife.
Battles between powerful beings were not sothing ordinary people could interfere in.
Even elite fighters couldn’t intervene in battles between king-tier combatants.
All they could do was watch helplessly as Earl Mors was defeated.
The towering walls and raging demonic flas also blocked their attempts at rescue.
The chaos on the walls didn’t last long.
“Look! What... what is that?”
“Another... another army?”
Suddenly, the humans on the walls spotted dust clouds rising in the distance from the canyon.
A larger army was advancing toward the Garrison Fort.
The dark mass of figures stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Garrison Fort only had less than 20,000 troops, and now Earl Mors was severely injured.
Ordinary soldiers and even adventurers began to waver.
Many adventurers were already considering fleeing.
After all, they were only here for the money.
Dying here wasn’t worth it.
“Milord, we can’t wait any longer!”
Seeing that the Fla Demon Lord and Goblin King hadn’t started fighting yet, Iron Mask grew anxious.
The wall had already been breached.
Now was the perfect ti for the army to charge.
Even if the Goblin King was strong, it couldn’t block the breach alone.
Moreover, the Goblin King had no reason to help the humans.
Hearing Iron Mask’s urging, Douglas’ expression shifted.
He cast a glance at the Fla Demon Lord, his eyes filled with doubt.
Why wasn’t the Fla Demon Lord moving?
Why wasn’t it attacking the Goblin King?
Douglas raised his hand and then swung it downward.
Seeing this, Iron Mask imdiately blew the horn.
“Wooo!”
The sharp sound of the horn echoed throughout the canyon.
“Demons, charge!”
A group of Ghost Beastn let out roars and charged forward.
“The demons are attacking! Archers, ready!”
The demon army’s assault stirred the humans on the wall into action.
Archers in simple armor notched their arrows, while war priests from the Crystal Temple raised their staffs, preparing battle magic.
“Roar!”
At that mont, the Fla Demon Lord on the battlefield let out an enraged roar.
Its anger was directed at Li ng.
Before the breach, Li ng had made an international gesture.
Although the Fla Demon Lord didn’t know the aning of raising a middle finger, it felt provoked and insulted.
The towering Fla Demon Lord lashed out with its fiery whip, which instantly morphed into a flaming greatsword.
It raised its right foot and stomped heavily on the ground.
The earth cracked, and massive flaming fissures spread out in the sa direction.
“Hmph, that again? Do you think I’m afraid?”
Li ng snorted coldly, raising his right foot and stomping the ground as well.
A loud “boom” echoed as the earth trembled.
Azure magical energy erupted from Li ng’s body.
Water walls surged from the fissures, colliding with the flas.
“Boom!”
The collision of fire and water created an explosive shockwave.
Half steam, half flas, a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
The ground for hundreds of ters around was torn apart, sending visible shockwaves sweeping outward.
Charging Ghost Beastn were caught in the blast and thrown into the air.
“Roar!”
After the first exchange, the Fla Demon Lord roared again, its figure flashing as it charged forward.
The ground cracked under its feet, and a wave of intense heat exploded outward.
Its speed turned it into a fiery streak heading straight for Li ng.
“I like close combat!”
Inside his helt, Li ng grinned.
Swinging his massive iron rod, he dashed forward.
With a loud “boom,” the ground underfoot caved into a large pit, accompanied by a gust of air.
His speed was so fast that only a black blur could be seen streaking across the battlefield.
