Bells of alarm were rung on the towers. Rolan was woken up by the ringing noise. He dashed to the balcony of the castle and saw from the top. The army of green-skinned goblins. To his surprise, he also saw hobgoblins on the fray. With a Hobgoblin champion leading them.
Rolan then armed himself and buckled up his leather armor. Rolan immediately equipped with an axe and a shield. He heard knocks on the door and opened it.
"Sire! We are under attack!" the guard that has leather armor and a pike shouted in a bolstering voice.
"I know, rally the men and get ready for our defense," Rolan said as they climbed down the stairs of the tower.
"Already done sir, they are awaiting your further command," he said to him.
It was then, that an announcement soon rang.
[Mission: Kill all the goblins]
[Reward: Persuasion skill]
It was then, he rallied the men and saw the numbers of the enemies. They were numbered a hundred compared to them not even amounting to fifty.
He opened the gates and then roared. He drew his sword and smirked at his enemies.
"Everyone, charge!" he roared and the army followed him.
The goblins then yelped at his presence. They soon drew their crude weapons and attacked him.
One dashed towards his side and Rolan blocked its slash with his sword. Another one covered their comrade as they switched their attack positions. Rolan was attacked on all sides and he slashed diagonally at one that was facing him. It was killed immediately as it was cleaved in half.
Rolan then rotated and slashed two while passing them through. He was crouching as he ended their lives. All spurted blood as the aftermath.
It was then, that the goblins were enraged and then they attacked all sides.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The sound of metal clashing with each other reverberated and he flickered with his attack. Cleaving them and their heads were decapitated. Aizen then stabbed one in the chest and it puked blood. Cursing him in their language. He then pulled it out and then kicked it.
After the battle, he flicked his sword to drain the blood and put it inside his sheath. Not even enough to make him use his skills at them.
[Mission complete!]
[Reward: Persuasion skill]
Rolan then went to check his character sheet and saw his current stats. He gave the stat point to strength.
"Wow, nice! I love this!" Aizen muttered.
It was then, Rolan went to check his stats. A screen then was seen with his eyes. He immediately put it all to endurance. As his estimation has, he needed stamina the most. He could battle enemies without a problem. Well as for now.
The battlefield wafted with blood and Rolan stood in the midst of it. He scanned the surroundings and deemed that this enemy army was just a scouting force. The main force was still further ahead.
It was then, that there was a horn that sounded and Rolan inwardly cursed. He did not expect that there would still be another fight. He managed to kill the escapees but one survived.
Swish!
Rolan then slashed him and his life ended immediately. The horn was still gripped by its hands.
"Tsk, such a blunder,"
Rolan went to stab the goblin some more and then stomped the horn with his foot. Breaking it on the process.
It was then, that he heard cries and yelps from afar. He was surrounded and he did not even plan to retreat. He was sitting in a lotus position while his sword was stabbed to the ground by his side.

"Deym! This sure riles me up!"
Rolan gritted his teeth and then went to attack them. Grabbing his sword on his side, he counted the enemies were nearing a hundred. He inhaled air and then smirked at them.
"All those who oppose, beware! Death is at hand!"
He was attacked by them and he tightened his grip on his axe. He dashed to his front and prepared for slaughter.
A slash was made and three goblins were cleaved in half. But his slash didn't stop there. It continued to cleave seven more enemies in an arc and line.
"Fear me!"
He immediately attacked the enemies with his weapon.
He dashed towards them and slashed left and right. Rotating then slashed in an arc. Cleaving three enemies in one slash.
Three goblins attacked his back with a vertical slash and the bone armor blocked their attacks. Rolan then gritted his teeth and grabbed one hand of a goblin. Smirking at them while eyes in a glare.
It was natural for Rolan to have such eyes.
It was then, he skewered one goblin in the chest and then ripped its body as he forcefully slashed his weapon to the side. Blood spurted out and the enemies felt fear.
Roan then threw the ripped body to the side and attacked the remaining ones.
The army a slaughtered at their numbers. All were having their fair share of kills on their side. They parried the attacks of goblins and shielded some attacks with their shield. They defended Rolan with all they had. All were in a circle formation.
Another slash was made and the enemies panicked as Rolan headed their way. The goblins yelped as they were struck.
Shree! Shriek!
They were in disarray. Several of them fired arrows at Rolan's formation. His army blocked their attacks as he launched his attacks on them. Rolan went towards the goblin archers and slashed them in a flicker. Passing them by while rotating in his slashes. He immediately was followed by his men and he continued his hacking on them as he charged towards their fray.
The enemies then were taken aback by the prowess of the army. The tides of battle have changed even just a few seconds have passed. Rolan then attacked the fray and then he was surrounded by ten enemies. Attacking him and ganging him up as he was solitary. Smashing his shield and only clunking in the process.
He was agitated and grabbed one goblin on the head and crushed its skull in the process. Blood spurted out and brain matter.
Rolan immediately was attacked by fifty or more enemies. The infantry were barely holding back the enemies. He slashed in speed with every enemy that passed through the defenses of his infantry. Slashing them with every ounce of his strength.
The enemies scattered after they saw that the human they were fighting with was not easy to deal with. It would take a lot more effort to kill him even with their numbers.
"I will attack and cover my back," Rolan commanded the infantry to which they all nodded.
After that, Rolan went on to the offensive. He was slashing and hacking goblins while being covered by the skeletons. He blocked one strike that was vertical with his sword then he kicked it in the chest. Sending it to fly from afar.
He was attacked by five goblins that leaped toward him. Others were having daggers that were ready to stab him anytime. He blocked and countered the five that leaped towards him and then was stabbed by several goblins. His armor was damaged but he was unharmed. Their daggers could only become stuck on the armor.
Rolan smirked, he slashed in a flicker with a rotating motion and they were all cut. All just to send them away. Still, the cut was shallow.
He attacked with his all. Using a slash on his front then slashing while rotating. Enemies were slashed in his path. Making them spurt blood.
After the battle, only several were left. They immediately ran to escape but Rolan didn't let them. Killing off the ones that tried to escape.
