Adrian was watching the group of thugs walk across the path towards his town. They were almost at his town as all of them pulled out their weapons ready for a fight. They were all talking as they were trying to guess what would happen.
"I hope there are more than just Goblins in this town, I need to find someplace to release!" A thug snickered.
"With a face like that a goblin is the best you can get" another laughed at him
"Wasn't your last girlfriend half orc?" he shot back
"She wasn't! That's just a lie"
They continued to argue back and forth when out from the side of the pathway a branch came hurtling towards the group. It knocked the first thug down and sent the second flying. The tree from which the branch came literally stepped out of the forest and started stepping towards the thugs who were beneath it.
Adrian of course, was the one controlling this tree, he was hiding not too far away as he began to sweep through the gang. He was only able to control one tree at a time as it cost a considerable sum of mana, and he wasn't able to split his focus enough to control more than that.
At this point Kiegu roared as he stepped forward and in one big swing of his axe cleaved the tree causing it to fall over before turning still. "Get up! Eyes forward, a magus is attacking us!" he said with his axe at the ready.
The thugs grouped up as they circled together looking for where the next attack would come from.
Adrian stepped out of the treeline with his Berry Bombs already in hand as he said "If you want to attack my town then you must be prepared for the consequences."
He threw the three bombs as he controlled another tree to continue attacking. He drank a mana potion in the middle of this that he bought from the DP shop to help sustain his mana usage.
"THE SIGNAL!!!!" the goblins screamed as they charged out from the bushes on their wolves. The thugs not prepared for this sudden assault were on the losing side of the first engagement as the wolves began tearing at their flesh the goblins stabbing forward with their spears.
The goblins managed to kill two enemies from the surprise attack, the rest of the thugs managing to defend themselves before they started their offensive. Luckily the goblins had the numbers advantage as the thugs were fairly difficult opponents.
Kiegu roared as he began to slash with his axe towards the goblins who were surrounding them. The goblins retreated from his range quickly as his axe would surely kill them if they didn't.
Adrian pushed forward with a tree and berry bombs in hand as he began to pelt the thugs. He quickly used inspect on Kiegu who looked to be the leader so he could see what they were up against.
Name: Adrian
Title: [Lightning's Dog]
Profession: Adept Knight
Species: Orc Warrior
Skills: [Slash] [Charge]
Combat Power: ★☆☆☆☆⑥
This Orc was just as strong as Raushan! It was a pity that Raushan could not leave his dungeon room yet or this fight would be much easier for them.
"Ignore the Orc for now! Kill the rest of them first" Adrian said as he began to try and stall Kiegu as long as possible. He was doing hit and run tactics throwing berry bombs at him while ensnaring him with tree roots staying out of range.
The goblins were fighting the thugs as they darted around the battlefield stabbing here and there before moving on to the next target. Slowly they began to whittle down the thugs' numbers without losing any people. They were only going against local gang members after all and not a real army.
Kiegu was the only one amongst them that was an actual threat to the goblins if they fought them one on one. He was roaring in fury as he was unable to even near any of the goblins in order to fight back.
Kiegu quickly stepped with one foot forward and dashed towards a goblin that had just killed one of his companions. He lifted his axe into the sky as he brought it downwards bisecting both the goblin and the verdant wolf in half killing them instantly.
Roaring in ecstasy Kiegu lifted half of the body up as he relished in the kill. This orc was fucking crazy!
"NO!! Goggu!" The goblins screamed watching their brother get killed, their faces becoming hideous. This was the first time they had lost one of their own! In their rage their attacks became much fiercer as they began to care less about defense taking hits in order to secure kills of the enemy.
Kiegu threw the corpse to the side as he attempted to attack the nearby goblins only to be stopped yet again by a tree root wrapping around his legs. He slashed them open, finally turning towards Adrian who had been impeding him this entire time.
He charged towards Adrian and Adrian quickly blocked him with the tree causing him to run into it full force the tree toppling over splintering everywhere from the impact. As the tree fell over from the other side of the tree three berry bombs came hurtling towards Kiegu's face exploding on impact causing him to roar in rage.
"YOU STUPID MAGUS! COME FIGHT!" he roared in rage as one of his eyes had now become a bloody mess completely unusable. This fight was clearly showing this difference between a Magus and a Knight as even though Kiegu outranked him by a lot, if he was unable to get into close quarters distance then his power meant nothing.
Adrian ignored him and continued to back up as he attacked with a new tree whipping at him with branches as he downed another mana potion.
