Chapter 119: Dragon Spear Technique
"Swish! Swish!"
Arrows from crossbows flew toward him.
Sparks erupted dazzlingly from his armor as the arrows ricocheted off.
"I want you all dead!"
The adventurer warrior roared.
He swung his giant axe, spinning rapidly.
A whirlwind of axe blades swept through the surrounding goblins.
The goblins charging toward him were sent flying.
Some were hacked into mangled pieces of flesh.
Even the arrows were deflected by the whirlwind of axe blades.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a roar came from the rear.
An Ogre suddenly charged forward.
Its massive steps resounded with "thud, thud" on the ice.
It approached the adventurer warrior and raised a giant spiked club, smashing it down on him.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the adventurer warrior was driven directly into the ice.
When the Ogre pulled back its spiked club,
the warrior's body had turned into a mangled mess of flesh.
Looking beyond the Ogre,
the massive sailing ships were reduced to scattered wreckage, barely recognizable.
On the battlefield, the Ogre was almost an invincible force.
A large number of ships had been smashed into debris by the Ogre.
The temple priest on the deck had also vanished.
However, not all the Ogres managed to destroy the ships without resistance.
Some Ogres were being besieged by adventurers.
But the adventurers’ attacks on the Ogres were destined not to last.
Because the goblins from the rear charged forward.

Facing several times their numbers in goblins, the human army couldn’t hold the line.
The moment they engaged in close combat, they began retreating continuously.
"Don't be afraid! They're just little goblins! Each of you can take on ten!"
On the chaotic battlefield, a human officer was leading his soldiers in killing the enemy.
Hundreds of human soldiers and goblins clashed fiercely on the ice.
The soldiers displayed incredible bravery,
their spears piercing through goblin after goblin.
But the goblins seemed endless.
More and more soldiers fell, swarmed and killed by the goblins.
The soldiers’ screams caused fear to spread across the faces of those nearby.
The officer, wielding a sword and shield, plunged deep into the goblin ranks.
Though clad in armor, he moved with agility.
Dodging left and right, his longsword sliced through goblins as if they were nothing.
Even armored goblins were pierced through with a single thrust.
"Warriors of the Irisis Principality, charge!"
He raised his longsword and shouted loudly.
The soldiers around him, their morale boosted,
gathered around the officer, trying to form a compact charge formation.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.
A sharp whistling sound pierced through the air.
"Boom!"
A massive crossbow bolt struck the ice.
In a straight line, goblins and humans alike were sent flying.
The just-formed human formation was instantly shattered.
The officer was skewered by the crossbow bolt,
his body impaled and pinned to the ice like a piece of meat on a spit.
"Wow! Wow!"
This scene excited the nearby goblins.
They cheered and charged forward in unison.
The officer’s death shattered the human army’s will to fight.
"Don’t run! Come back and fight, fight!"
On this stretch of ice, the human soldiers were routed.
Their faces filled with terror, they turned and fled.
Those who wanted to continue fighting couldn’t stop the collapse.
All they could do was run, run from the goblins.
But turning their backs on the enemy was not a wise move.
Though humans had longer legs, making them faster than goblins,
the crossbow-wielding goblins could reach them.
"Swish!"
A dense volley of bolts rained down like drops of water.
"Ahhh!"
Screams echoed one after another.
Human soldiers fell one by one, pinned to the ice by the bolts.
Excited goblins swarmed over, ending their misery.
Looking across the entire front line, the human forces were in full retreat.
Although less than twenty ships had entered the ambush zone,
this already represented two-thirds of the human fleet’s strength.
The human soldiers numbered close to four thousand.
Four thousand was a significant force, but they faced 25,000 goblins.
Moreover, the sudden attack in the first wave had inflicted heavy casualties on the humans.
"You monster, don’t even think about it!"
On the ice near the second ship of the human fleet,
a heavily damaged ship was protected by a white barrier of light.
A nearly seven-meter-tall Ogre repeatedly swung its spiked club at the barrier.
Each strike caused ripples to spread across the barrier's surface.
On the deck inside the barrier stood a High Priest of the temple.
He raised his staff, angrily cursing the Ogre outside.
"Crack!"
At that moment, the crystal atop the staff shattered.
A web-like pattern of cracks spread across the crystal’s surface.
This made the High Priest’s face change slightly.
"Faris, if you don’t act, I’m going to die!"
The High Priest shouted angrily toward the cabin.
"You won’t die. Lower the Holy Light Barrier!"
A lazy voice came from the cabin.
A burly figure holding a spear stepped out of the cabin.
He wore brown leather armor and had light-colored hair.
"No way! If I lower the barrier, I’ll definitely die!"
The oppressive presence of the Ogre outside terrified the High Priest.
If the Holy Light Barrier were removed, the massive spiked club would strike him directly.
Faris grinned and twirled his spear.
"Dragon Spear: Break!"
Faris shouted loudly.
A surge of blood energy erupted from his body.
The hair on his head stood upright like needles.
In a flash, Faris turned into a streak of blood-red light and charged at the Ogre outside.
The Holy Light Barrier was pierced through directly.
The blood-red streak didn’t slow down, heading straight for the Ogre.
"Clang!"
A sharp metallic clash rang out,
sparks flying in all directions.
Benben, the Ogre, staggered backward,
retreating over ten meters before stopping.
Looking at Benben’s chest,
a large hole had appeared on its left side.
Its armor was pierced through, along with its body.
"Roar!"
The intense pain made Benben roar in anger.
The gaping hole, large enough to fit a bowl, began healing visibly.
Standing on the ship’s edge, Faris grinned.
"As expected of the Ogre King. Tough enough!"
Not only was it tough, but it had three hearts.
With just one spear, killing the Ogre by targeting its hearts wasn’t feasible.
"Dragon Spear: Descent!"
Faris twirled his spear again.
Another surge of blood energy erupted from his body.
"Boom!"
Faris shot up into the sky from the ship’s edge.
He soared hundreds of meters high before plummeting back to the ground.
A dazzling blood-red radiance burst forth,
like a demonic spear descending from the heavens.
"Roar!"
Feeling the oppressive force from above, Benben roared toward the sky.
It raised its spiked club to block the attack.
But as soon as it raised the club, it lowered it again.
The massive creature turned and fled,
its heavy footsteps pounding the ice with "thud, thud" sounds.
"That human is incredible. Boss said, if we can’t win, we run!"
While fleeing, Benben glanced nervously at the sky.
