Chapter 111 I'm willing to do anything (Thanks to the helmsman for the generous donation from Renlei)
A few days ago, Deacon Roslin hurled her golden spear, severing the arm of the troll Gram, who fled like a stray dog. Now it dares to return.
Since breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining, Lin Er has not had any actual combat experience. Now is a good opportunity to test his strength.
But before that—
Lin Er did not approach rashly, but instead bypassed the troll Gram and hurried along another path outside the village.
Looking around, a large number of green goblins were surrounding the village from all sides. They were armed with short spears and rusty swords, trying to trap everyone in the village.
At the village entrance, about a dozen adventurers and over a hundred able-bodied villagers were defending themselves against a low earthen wall.
Lin Er glanced around and quickly spotted Ellie and her two companions. They were stationed at one of the intersections, ready for battle.
The road was covered with vines and thorns, blocking the goblins on the outside. They had to go around to get closer, and were constantly attacked by Keller's fire arrows and villagers' arrows, resulting in heavy casualties.
Even if a goblin manages to get close, it will be swiftly killed by Ellie's exquisite swordsmanship; none of them can last more than two moves against her.
Seeing this, Lin Er felt relieved and said, "They should be fine over there."
The only thing we need to be wary of now is the troll Gram; if it launches an attack, the village's solid defenses will crumble instantly.
Although the troll Gram had lost an arm, Lin'er still dared not be careless.
After confirming that Ellie and the others were alright, Lin Erti walked towards Gram.
At that moment, a knight galloped along the trade route and arrived near the wheat field in the blink of an eye.
Lin Er felt the face looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, he recognized it as Raymond, the head of the Silver Shield family.
Raymond arrived but did not immediately take action. Instead, he quickly surveyed the surrounding situation.
Soon, his gaze fell on Lin Er's location, clearly indicating that he had noticed Lin Er.
Soon after, a group of adventurers arrived. Lin Er looked over and saw Raven-Eye Kayla and Luna among them; it seemed the Raven Crow Brigade had arrived.
With such a significant increase in combat power, the fate of the troll Gram is almost sealed.
Lin Er stepped forward and said, "Mr. Raymond, you've come at the right time. Let's join forces to deal with this troll."
Raymond glanced at Lin'er and shook his head slightly: "No need. I can handle a mere one-armed troll on my own. You guys go help out in the village."
Lin Er looked at Kayla and Luna, only to see Kayla shrug with a helpless expression.
He wasn't insisting on killing Gram himself, but after a moment's thought, he said, "Mr. Raymond, could I have the troll's arm?"
"Okay," Raymond interrupted abruptly, his tone slightly impatient. "You guys should leave now."
At this moment, Raven-Eyed Kayla quickly stepped forward and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Sir Raymond, we'll leave now and won't bother you any longer."
She then gently pulled Lin'er towards the village, explaining in a low voice, "Knight Raymond didn't want anyone stealing his monsters," which is why he was in a hurry for us to leave.
Stealing monsters?
Lin Er couldn't help but think of the power of elements; it seemed that adventurers could gain some elemental favor from monsters they killed.
No wonder Raymond's attitude suddenly turned cold.
Lin Er glanced at Raymond's confident expression and thought that he shouldn't lose to the one-armed troll. Since the other party had already agreed to leave his arm, there was no harm in going along with it.
So he sheathed his sword and turned back towards the village.
Several goblins blocked their way, but Lin'er cast a fireball, which instantly engulfed them in flames.
He quickly reunited with Ellie and the others. Upon seeing Lin Er, Talia cheered, "Senior brother! Quickly use your invincible flying sword to kill all these goblins!"
Lin Er waved his hand and replied, "You guys continue with the defense, I'll help you fill in the gaps."
Talia was immediately disappointed, and Keller quickly explained, "Senior brother has given up the opportunity. You should quickly summon the water elemental and kill a few more goblins. Don't let your senior brother's good intentions go to waste."
Talia suddenly realized, "I see, Senior Brother is so kind!"
As she spoke, she winked at Lin Er.
Lin Er smiled lightly, leaped onto the roof next to him, and with a few jumps, reached the tallest watchtower in the village.
The view from here is expansive, offering a panoramic view of all the intersections.
Lin Er immediately released his flying sword and flew towards an intersection where several goblins had already invaded, and a few novice adventurers were struggling to hold them off.
The sword flashed and instantly killed all the goblins.
The novice adventurers were taken aback. As the flying sword returned, they looked in the direction of the sound and their eyes all fell on Lin Er.
Someone recognized Lin Er and said, "He seems to be that senior who is very skilled in manipulating objects."
The expressions of the novice adventurers immediately became excited. It was the first time they had ever seen "object manipulation," and it was exactly as described in the rumors.
It turns out those old adventurers weren't just boasting while drunk.
Lin Er waved to them, signaling them to keep their eyes on the road ahead and not get distracted.
The novice adventurers turned around and their expressions tightened when they saw more goblins rushing towards them.
This time, however, they were full of confidence.
Many adventurers in the village were seeing flying swords for the first time, and they were all amazed to see how easily the flying swords killed the first-tier goblins.
Lin Er stood on high ground, overlooking the battle situation in the entire village, and occasionally used his sword to provide support, each move perfectly timed.
As time went on, the number of goblins decreased sharply. Initially, there were still adventurers and villagers who were injured, but after Lin'er joined the battle, there were no more adventurer casualties, and the number of injured villagers also decreased significantly.
Many of the recipients looked on with gratitude and immediately returned to the fight.
Lin Er glanced at the battlefield. The Lin Ya Brigade was dealing with the even more powerful bear goblins. Even Ellie had joined in. Her movements and swordsmanship were extremely fast, and she was not at a disadvantage at all when facing the bear goblins.
This is not something that can be achieved with swordsmanship alone; Ellie should have reached the second tier as well.
Under the combined attack of the group, the earth armor on the two large bear goblins was destroyed, and their recovery speed became slower and slower. Finally, they could not hold on and collapsed to the ground.
The adventurers and villagers were greatly encouraged and cheered loudly as they prepared to attack the last remaining goblins.
Suddenly, a figure flew across the sky, arcing through the air and crashing into a shed in the middle of the wheat field.
With a loud bang, the entire earthen wall collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Raymond used his sword to prop himself up from the ruins, his gaze fixed intently ahead.
The troll Gram was a bulging, muscular monster with bloodshot eyes, its expression completely crazed. It stared intently at Raymond, drool dripping from the corners of its mouth.
It dragged its tall body as it charged forward, the ground trembling with each step.
Raymond's expression changed, and he hurriedly cast a milky white glow on himself, which restored his complexion slightly, but Graham's heavy punch had already struck again.
He parried with his sword, but was once again sent flying.
At that moment, everyone's expression changed drastically.
"It's over! That troll is too strong; even Knight Raymond couldn't defeat him!"
"Run! Or we'll be eaten by the trolls!"
The villagers were the first to panic, but Ellie and the Crow Brigade worked hard to calm them down, and the situation gradually stabilized.
Seeing their leader's fierce courage, the goblins, who were on the verge of collapse, regained their momentum and scattered in all directions, attempting to cut off the villagers' retreat.
After the troll Gram lost an arm, he wasn't as agile as before, and Raymond was no match for him.
However, Raymond is really tough; he certainly wouldn't dare to take a punch from the troll head-on.
Lin Er frowned and jumped down from the watchtower.
Just then, Luna rushed over, grabbed Lin'er's hand, her face pale and her eyes filled with terror: "Lin'er, please, save my father!"
Lin Er said in a deep voice, "Let go first, don't panic."
Luna, however, thought he was refusing to help her. Tears instantly streamed down her face, and she knelt before him, pleading, "Please—I...I'll do anything!"
