Chapter 2 A battle with great disparity in strength
Before the soldiers could react, in just a flash, three terrifying sword energies visible to the naked eye flew over.
The position five meters away from the soldiers was cleared accurately, creating a temporary open area for them.
There were only more than forty goblins surrounding them, which made them start to break out immediately. They used their swords to quickly kill the goblins who were a little confused by the sudden change. They broke away from the encirclement of the goblins and ran towards the direction where the sword energy came from, with an expression of surviving a disaster on their faces.
"Although I don't know who helped us, it seems that we are saved."
"Once this matter is resolved, I will definitely thank you."
Although these soldiers were willing to die, the situation was so serious that they had to die. They were using their lives as a delay. If they could avoid death, they would not be so stupid as to die.
Although they didn't know the nature of the person who attacked them, since he came to rescue them, it was obvious that he was on their side. And judging from his strength, they thought that the town of Landry would most likely not be captured.
Just as they ran back a few dozen meters, they could see clearly the appearance of the person who had made the attack.
He was a man with black hair, a black bandage on his face, wearing a black tights and a red cloak, and holding a wooden sword. His clothes looked extremely strange, but the most eye-catching thing was his left hand, which was unforgettable once you had seen it.
"Why is it this blind man?"
"He rescued us?"
"I have clearly checked his strength, and it is marked as a level 1 person."
"How could this be so..."
As the soldiers responsible for guarding the town of Landry, they had naturally seen the blind man, Ivan.
Even though Ivan had just been in the town for less than half a day, they had already heard that a strange-looking blind man had come to the town.
They had imagined who saved them, but they never thought it would be this seemingly blind Ivan.
At this time, many soldiers were shocked, especially Captain Vic.
Although he was only a small team leader in a border town, he also fulfilled his duties and tried his best to maintain the safety of the town.
As for outsiders, as long as they stayed for more than three days, he would go over and secretly check the other party's level.
After confirming that the other party was not a person of higher level than himself, which made it impossible to measure him, and being certain that the other party was just a blind man with a miserable life, he suddenly burst out with terrifying strength that could rival the goblin army by himself.
Before they could digest the shock in their hearts, they saw a scene that made them believe it.
I saw this blind man muttering something that made no sense but sounded very cool.
"The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul."
Holding a wooden sword, he swung it casually and a terrifying sword energy visible to the naked eye swept out. At the same time, his figure disappeared from the spot and caught up with the sword energy to kill the goblin army.
"Ah~ Ji~ uh..."
At this moment, the goblin army, numbering tens of thousands, was emitting noisy howls and strange calls.
Just as many soldiers were shocked, a terrifying wave of murderous aura erupted from the goblin army.
Even though they were two hundred meters apart, they could all feel the murderous aura, as if the sword of the god of death was already pointing at their throats, making them feel cold all over.
“Ohhhhh~”
The goblin army felt the murderous intent and began to flee. One by one, they began to shout rapidly and signaled to retreat.
In just this short period of fighting, the 10,000-strong goblin army, which had been coming with such great momentum, were frightened by the killing and each of them planned to retreat.
Although they were not very intelligent, their biological instincts told them that the opponent could kill thousands of their companions with just one sword, and that the horrific monster before them was absolutely invincible. If they continued to attack, they might all die here.
But Alvin didn't care whether they planned to retreat or not. If he didn't stop these goblins today and let the goblin army successfully attack the town, no one who didn't evacuate would be spared.
To deal with these goblins, Alvin only used the most basic Earth-Splitting Wave Sword and Murderous Wave, and only used twelve swords.
A wave of sword energy was visible to the naked eye. Wherever it passed, the ground shattered and rocks flew everywhere. It chased for hundreds of meters and destroyed the bodies of the last small group of goblins. Tens of thousands of goblin troops all died here.
Captain Vic and the dozen or so soldiers left in the town witnessed this annihilation battle with a huge disparity in strength. They all stared at the back of the man holding the wooden sword in the distance with admiration beyond words.
They believed in Alvin. Even if he was not a Sword Saint, he was definitely close to the Sword Saint.
Although the average level of these goblins is only 5-15, you have to know that even if there are tens of thousands of pigs waiting to be slaughtered, it will not be so fast to kill them all, not to mention an army of tens of thousands of goblins who can run, fight and besiege.
Those who can do this are all powerful swordsmen with a reputation of being above level 40. If they can practice swordsmanship to reach level 50 or above, they will be called sword saints.
After dealing with these goblins, Alvin did not stay but ran straight to the town.
He didn't want to pay any attention to these soldiers because of the month he had been traveling through time.
This was not the first time he had helped save people from distress, earning many people’s gratitude.
But after seeing him in action, those people only believed that he was a master of swordsmanship and did not believe his talk of ghosts and gods at all.
But it was different for the bar's proprietress. Even though she didn't see him take action, she believed from the bottom of her heart that what he said was true and helped him improve his acting skills.
Captain Vic saw that Ivan had solved the Goblin army, and was about to take a dozen soldiers to thank him for saving his life, but he found that Ivan had already retreated. "As expected of a sword master, he solved this big problem for us without taking credit for himself, and even didn't ask for benefits from us. He is really righteous."
"Captain Vic, although this swordsman seems to be only doing this out of righteousness and has not asked for any benefits, we must seek some reward for him, otherwise it will make this hero feel disheartened."
"Rom is right. This strong man saved us and the civilians from suffering. We must publicize his great deeds."
"I will definitely do these things, but now I have other important things to do."
"Rom, go back and inform the villagers that the Goblin army has been wiped out by Mr. Ivan alone. Reassure the people so they don't need to worry anymore."
"Then come back with us and bring back the remains of your companions for burial..."
These soldiers, who were originally very happy because they had survived the crisis, became depressed again when they heard that the bodies of their comrades had been found and buried.
兰德里小镇有320位，平均5-20级的新兵与老兵，可是他们面对的平均等级为5-15级的数量多达一万五千多的哥布林大军。
Even if they wanted to defend and repel the enemy, they were faced with so many monsters. After killing thousands of monsters in a row, they were exhausted and could only delay the attack but not repel the enemy.
In this battle, they lost 302 companions. If their superiors had carefully reviewed and agreed to their request for help, and sent a strong man above level 35 to guard the city for a period of time, their former companions might not have suffered so many casualties today, or even none of them might have died.
But the noble grandfathers above and the strong men above level 35 did not believe their report at all. If it were not for the sudden action of Ivan, the sword master, all 320 soldiers of their Landry town would have died in this defensive battle.
Because they survived this time not because of the kingdom's army's rescue but just an accident, which made these soldiers feel a little shaken in their responsibilities and the faith in their hearts.
Are the oaths they desperately abide by and protect really worth protecting?
This time, Alvin saved them like a god sent from heaven, but what if there is a next time?
"I don't care whether you doubt your faith or not. Right now, the most important thing for us is to bring our companions back home."
As the leader, Captain Vic could naturally see that his subordinates were wavering in their faith in the kingdom and in their hearts, because even his own beliefs were somewhat shaken at this moment.
However, there are some things that will never waver. The first is to bring back the remains of many companions, and the second is to thank Ivan solemnly no matter what. If I have the answer in my heart by then, it will not be too late to consider applying for resignation.
The remaining eighteen soldiers began to head towards the forest where the goblins came from.
The 320 soldiers fought and retreated for four hours before finally retreating out of the town.
If they had fought to the death, the goblins would have rushed into the town two hours ago.
"Yes, I will definitely convey it as soon as possible and come back to join you."
At this time, Rom, who was tall and had a resolute face and had some blood on his armor, also responded to the order and ran towards the town.
Captain Vic and a dozen other soldiers were left behind. Looking at the cracked earth and the horrific sword marks around them, they were all relieved and shocked.
the other side.
Ivan had returned to the town of Landry. When he arrived at the door of the bar, he saw Sosia comforting a little girl who was still crying, holding the child's hand and taking her to the bar.
While Sosia was trying to comfort him, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Ivan, without a trace of blood on his body, had returned.
And it only took 2-3 minutes at most from the time Alvin said he would set out to solve the problem. Such fast efficiency is truly amazing.
"already solved?"
"Well, I have killed all the goblins. Landry Town should not have to worry about monster invasions for the time being."
Hearing this, Ivan nodded slightly with a calm expression.
He knew that if he told others about this kind of thing, people would easily think he was bragging unless they saw it with their own eyes.
Because in this world where everyone has a level, others cannot find out his level, but he knows that the bar owner will believe it.
Sosia did not ask why Alvin, who had such astonishing strength, did not immediately go to wipe out the goblins when he received the news, but had to wait until the goblin army reached the outside of the town before taking action.
Because everyone has their own secrets, even she did not consider taking action at the first moment and exposing her identity and strength.
But while she was amazed at Ivan's swordsmanship and superb strength, a smile appeared on her face and she said gratefully.
"Mr. Ivan, please come to the bar first. I'll buy you a drink. After they all go home, I'll listen to your story."
"I just did what I had to do. It's just that I can't finish talking about my past in a short time, so I still have to pay for the wine."
Upon hearing this, Alvin nodded and accepted the righteousness of the matter, but they still talked about their own things.
"I traded fine wine for stories. This was my original intention for opening this bar. And your action this time not only protected them, but also protected me and my bar."
"It's just a few glasses of wine to show your gratitude. There's nothing else to it. Please don't refuse, Mr. Ivan."
Sosia knew that Alvin was very powerful, but had a strange personality and didn't like to accept favors, so she changed her words.
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, Alvin carefully looked at the expression on Sosia's face and the fluctuations emanating from her body, and sensed only kindness, so he nodded in agreement without refusing.
