Chapter 21 - Bloody battle

Andrew arrives at the second squad ambush position just in time when the Alpha wolf is chasing the goblin from the first squad and he passed near the tree where Andrew landed.

"NOW!! Drop the net! Don't let that big wolf away!"

The goblins from the second squad immediately drop the net to capture Alpha wolf. That big wolf didn't realize the ambush because busy chasing the goblins from the first squad. When he senses danger from above, it's already late. He and some of the other wolves who followed him already trapped inside the big net. The other group from the second squad who bring net also managed to trap some wolves, but still, some wolves escape from entrapment.

"QUICK!! STAB THEM!! KILL THEM!!"

Andrew orders the goblin from the second squad who holding bamboo spear to attack the wolves which trapped inside the net. The other goblins from the second squad are holding the net tightly so the wolves can't move. This must be done in a fast way because Andrew worried the net wouldn't last long. It's only made from vines and not from steel, the net strength also never been tested yet.

"Third squad, first squad, commence attack!!"

Since it's hard to finish the wolves just by the force from the second squad, Andrew told the rest of the goblin in his lead to start attacking the wolves. The first and the third squad who already encircles the ambush site move closer.

"Kiiikkk!!"

"Giiiiigggg"

Various battle cries come from the goblin in the first and third squad. With bamboo spear in their hand, they charge into the battlefield

Some of them even already engage battle with wolves which escape from the net. Now all tactics and trap had been used and battle change to the battle of attrition. Who still stand in the last time is the winner. Besides, it's the last tactic that Andrew had, the mob sea tactic, using numbers to overcome the weakness in strength.

The choice to use bamboo spear show its effectiveness, it's better than the wooden club or rusty dagger. It overcomes the weakness of the goblin race in term of power and body size. With a bamboo spear, they can attack the wolves from some distance without getting snapped or bitten or slashes by wolves' claws because stand to close with the wolves. Bamboo spear also widely used to make deadly pit trap, and during world war II, also used by japan army who run out of ammo as a weapon.

"Kiiiikkkkk!!!

"Grrooooowwlll!!!"

The battlefield becomes chaotic in the blink of eyes. The war cries from the goblins, the wolves bark and howling filled the battlefield. The trapped wolves try to break free from the net, especially the Alpha wolf, he struggles to set his body free from net restraint. He also uses his sharp teeth to bite the net and cut it loose. Although the goblins try to restrain his movement with the bamboo spear, the differences between Alpha wolf and common wolf showed by only shallow damaged can be made by those bamboo spears.

The battle is getting intense and cruel, no one is holding back. Everyone there knows there're only two choices, kill or be killed. There's no surrender option. You win you live, you lost you dead. It's the jungle law, survival of the fittest. Some wolves start to fall under rainy stabs of the bamboo spear. Casualties also happen in the goblins side, most of them caused by the wolves who escape from the trap

Andrew also not sit idly, he uses his sword to decimate the wolves numbers. For the wolves outside the net, he uses every move he can do with his sword. Stab, slash, and hack, anything as long as it can kill his enemies. For the wolves which trapped inside the net, he can't use the slashing move because it can cut the net and causing the wolves inside to break free. He can't give instruction or order to his subordinates any longer, in his mind only have one thing: Kill enemy!. Any wolf near him is his target to attack, the ringing sounds for experience gain, he no longer cared to check. All in his mind is to end this battle as soon as possible and return safely to their goblin village.
