"Boom!"
A massive explosion echoed through the forest.
A gigantic fireball descended into the woods.
It was the powerful war magic "Explosive Fireball."
In the riverbank forest, a dazzling burst of magical flas erupted.
A huge mushroom cloud of fire slowly rose into the sky.
The shockwave from the explosion uprooted vegetation within a hundred ters.
Burning debris flew into the air, transforming into a fiery rain falling to the ground.
The flas spread from the explosion's center, igniting the damp forest.
Goblins hiding in the forest were instantly engulfed by the fire.
They turned to ash without even having the chance to scream.
"Lord Carlos, the magic barrier won't hold much longer!"
Carlos, on the rear deck, kept a close watch on the fleet's battle situation.
The sudden attack had already dismantled three ships in the fleet.
The other ships also suffered severe damage.
The hulls were severely fractured, with gaping holes appearing.
Though not yet sunk, they were close to it.
This was why he ordered the river to be frozen.
The frozen river would provide support for the ships.
Even with severe damage, they wouldn't sink.
"Order all ships, the army is to disembark and march towards the northern forest!"
The rhythm of the war drums suddenly changed.
The drumbeats quickened.
Under the protection of the magic barrier, soldiers disembarked and gathered on the ice.
Along with the soldiers, adventurers also disembarked.
Soon, about three thousand soldiers had gathered on the ice.
Nearly a hundred adventurers were present as well.
Once the soldiers disembarked, the magic barriers on the ships vanished one by one.
Without the protection of the magic barriers, the crossbow bolts unleashed their full power once more.
"Boom!"
A chorus of screams followed.
The soldiers lined up on the ice were blown away.
The bolt continued its trajectory, piercing through the ship's hull.
"Watch out!"
Another bolt whistled through the air.
On the left side of the ice near the third ship.
An adventurer knight in heavy armor, wielding a sword and shield, roared forward.
His large shield was raised in front of him.
"Clang!"
A piercing tallic clash rang out.
Sparks flew from the shield.
The imnse impact sent the adventurer knight flying backward.
The bolt shot straight into the sky.
It flew dozens of ters before crashing into the ship with a "thud."
"Captain, are you alright?"
The knight's teammates were startled.
"I'm... I'm fine!"
The adventurer knight, looking a bit disheveled, struggled free from the dented hull.
The shield that had fallen onto the ice was cracked.
The crystal embedded in the shield was covered in spiderweb-like fractures.
"Brave warriors of the Principality of Ilysis, charge with !"
At that mont, Carlos, standing on the ice near the lead ship, gave the order to charge.
He knew staying on the ice would only make them targets.
With a loud shout, Carlos led the charge towards the northern forest.
"Charge!"
The soldiers, inspired, shouted as they launched their assault.
The adventurers provided cover, attacking the northern forest.
Under the barrage of magic, the northern forest was already ablaze.
Yet, bolts continued to shoot out from the flas.
On the two-kiloter stretch of river, the human army charged forward.
On the deck, temple priests raised their staffs.
They continuously cast explosive fireballs at the northern forest.
Before the army landed, they needed to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemies hidden in the forest.
"Humans are indeed strong!"
The forest ahead had turned into a sea of fire.
Tall trees were burning fiercely.
Waves of scorching heat rolled forward.
Through the flas, Li ng could see the human army charging across the river.
Fortunately, the ambush site was a hundred ters from the riverbank.
Otherwise, human magic would have inflicted massive casualties on the goblins hidden in the forest.
Although so goblins were hit by human magic,
the losses were within acceptable limits.
At that mont, Li ng's expression suddenly changed.
"Damn it, Yue'e, who told you to rush out so soon!"
Li ng's figure flashed in the forest, dashing out.
In that instant, a blast of air erupted.
The ground beneath his feet cracked and sank.
His speed was so fast that he flashed through the sea of fire.
Accompanied by Li ng's cursing voice.
Where he passed, the burning flas were extinguished by the powerful air blast.
anwhile, on the river in front of the human fleet.
With a loud "splash," a colossal creature leaped onto the ice.
It was the swamp crocodile king, Yue'e.
Yue'e opened its nacing jaws, unleashing a barrage of water bullets.
The water bullets crossed hundreds of ters in an instant, striking the ship.
"Boom!"
The ship was torn apart, splinters flying everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, the lead ship was shattered.
"Ah!"
A temple priest on the deck scread.
Flying splinters pierced their bodies like bullets.
One priest was directly hit by a water bullet.
His body exploded into pieces with a "snap."
The commotion at the rear caught Carlos's attention.
"Swamp crocodile king?"
The sudden appearance of the swamp crocodile king made Carlos frown slightly.
"Hmph, courting death!"
Running on the ice, his figure flashed.
He vanished from his original spot in an instant.
The ice beneath his feet cracked open.
A blast of air erupted.
Carlos's speed on the ice surged more than tenfold.
Like an arrow skimming the ice.
His speed was so fast that only a blur could be seen flashing across the ice.
In the blink of an eye, Carlos was in front of Yue'e.
The greatsword in Carlos's hand suddenly transford into light, striking towards Yue'e.
His body assud a charging stance.
"Human, you wish!"
At that mont, a loud shout ca from nearby.
Li ng, leaping out of the forest like a flea, soared into the air.
He flew over a hundred ters, landing heavily on the ice.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion echoed.
The thick ice cracked.
The cracked ice spread like a spiderweb, sweeping across Yue'e's location.
The ice cracked not from the impact of the fall.
But because Li ng used the "War Stomp" skill.
The sudden cracking of the ice caused Carlos to lose balance.
His strike did not land on Yue'e.
"Yue'e, attack the human army from underwater, leave this to !"
Li ng shouted, his voice deafening.
The loud roar made Yue'e's massive body shudder.
It quickly leaped into the water.
"Human, your opponent is !"
White ice mist suddenly surged from beneath Li ng's feet.
The surrounding shattered ice instantly refroze.
"This is... ice magic?"
Seeing the river freeze again,
a trace of surprise flashed in Carlos's eyes.
He looked uncertainly at the Goblin Warrior not far away.
A Goblin Warrior capable of using magic?
