388 I Will Show Off (1/2)
”Ah—!”
Screams rang beside his ears. Dragonborn placed his arms tightly behind the Shield and pushed it to the front.
His other hand wielded a long Pike. This was the strong request from Lancelot, who said, ”Though you are favored by God, according to the requirement of the Duchess, you have to reduce your casualties. Brace yourselves, and don't let the Duchess down!”
Though Lancelot said this, it was the Mission Reward that made the gamers form a defense line with their Shields and Pikes.
When the battle started, the Ogres charged out, and the gamers' formation came into effect. At least they didn't collapse like the gamers in Eternal Kingdom. Though the gamers were being mowed down rapidly, losing two to three front rows, they held their ground.
”Pom!”
A huge Club smashed down heavily on Dragonborn's Shield, and he slid back with his body cowered. The slanted angle of the Shield deflected most of the impact of the Club. If he braced for full impact, his arm would be broken.
Two long Pikes thrust out from the side and stabbed the Ogre that attacked Dragonborn. The arm of a Human beside Dragonborn was smashed by a Club. He had just put down his Shield when an Ogre plucked him by his head and threw him to the back.
An Ogre commanding officer stood on the front line and shouted at the Ogres, ”Don't retreat! The Teleport Portal is one-sided, you fools! Break the defensive line of the d*mned Humans!”
The gamers of Victoria City couldn't understand the Ogre, but it was obvious that he was the commanding officer.
Dragonborn observed the location of the Ogre commanding officer. He was very near.
”Dragonborn!” TakeASpearHit suddenly shouted, ”I have a plan!”
Dragonborn was distracted, and an Ogre smashed down with his Hammer. Fortunately, Dragonborn evaded the Hammer. Afterward, another gamer took his position on the front line as he fell back.
”Don't tell me that you have a good plan to kill that commander.”
SealHeadLingChong moved to join Dragonborn and TakeASpearHit after he saw TakeASpearHit being forced out from the front line.
It was easy to retreat from the front line, as every gamer wanted to be in the front row.
”How did you know? Don't say anymore. My plan is perfect. I have two Bladder Bombs. We can use one Bladder Bomb to kill the Ogre that is blocking the commander. The explosion will stun the commander, and we can make use of that chance to charge at him. You two will cover me while I charge with my Pike. He will hack at me with his Axe, and I will dodge elegantly.”
TakeASpearHit dodged, which was a rapid retreat to his left.
”Wait, why are you so sure that the Ogres will be stunned?” SealHeadLingChong asked.
TakeASpearHit rebuked, ”Of course they will be stunned, don't interrupt me! The Axe will land close to me, but I'll not be hurt. The commander won't be able to retrieve his Axe in time and will lose his balance. I will then charge and attack his waist. He won't die with just that, but then I'll draw out my precious Sword!”
TakeASpearHit unsheathed his Longsword and said, ”I will leap and grab his neck with one hand while stabbing at his throat with my Sword!”
”Why do I feel like this is a familiar scene?” SealHeadLingChong looked troubled.
”Don't mention the incident with the Ancient Gods army! I'll not fail this time!” TakeASpearHit shouted, ”I will make it big this time! The entire forum will talk about my feat!”
”I think it's worth a try.” Dragonborn nodded and agreed with TakeASpearHit's plan.
SealHeadLingChong had no reason to disagree.
It was time for TakeASpearHit to showcase his skills.
He took out two fused Bladder Bombs from Eternal Kingdom.
”Let's go!” TakeASpearHit shouted valiantly as he ignited the fuses and charged into the crowd, saying, ”Give way!”
He shouted while tossing the Bladder Bombs towards the front.
The two Bladder Bombs flew over the heads of the crowd and landed in the midst of the Ogres before detonating.
The explosion threw the Ogres to the ground, and even those intact Ogres at the sides were stunned.
