Chapter 101: My Hand is Broken
The Pigmen possess physiques and strength far superior to Goblins.
Their weapons are also large iron machetes.
Though rusted, they are still considered sharp tools.
As soon as contact was made, a large group of Goblins was cut down.
The Pigmen used their massive physiques to forcefully break through.
The Goblins couldn't stop them; the defensive line was instantly shattered.
The Pigmen's machetes could kill a Goblin with a single strike.
However, the Goblins' spears could not inflict fatal injuries on the Pigmen.
Even when stabbing their chests, the spear couldn't penetrate the layers of fat.
Only the Goblin archers on the wooden walls could deal deadly blows to the Pigmen.
But the space on the wooden walls could only accommodate a limited number of Goblin archers.
Thus, the Goblin archers couldn't provide effective support.
As more and more Pigmen charged into the wooden stockade stronghold, Gobu Di was surrounded.
"Clang!"
A piercing metallic sound echoed through the air.
At the breach, two figures separated again.
Both were gasping for breath as they stared at each other.
Their hands gripping their weapons trembled from the clash.
The webbing between Gobu Di's thumb and index finger was torn open.
Drops of thick blood dripped onto the ground.
"This is a duel between me and it. You all deal with the Goblins inside the stockade!"
A Pigman tried to sneak attack Gobu Di from behind.
However, the moment it stepped forward, Pig Da Qiang stopped it.
This was a battle of leaders, a matter of honor, not to be sullied by others.
The surrounding Pigmen didn't linger.
They turned and charged into the stockade.
At this moment, the Goblins defending the breach inside the wooden stockade were already defeated.
Though they continued to fight, the tide had turned irreversibly.
The Goblins on the wooden walls were frantically shooting at the Pigmen.
But there were simply too many Pigmen.
For every one shot down, more filled the gap.
Once they approached the wooden walls, the triple-bow ballistae on the watchtowers lost their firing angles.
The ballistae could not target the Pigmen gathering at the breach.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
A Pigman elder roared excitedly after cutting down a Goblin.
"Whoosh!"
The roar caught the attention of the Goblin archers on the wooden walls.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air followed swiftly.
"Thud!"
Several bolts struck the elder's body.
One even pierced through its skull.
The Pigman elder's eyes rolled back, and it collapsed to the ground.
"Climb up and kill the Goblins on the walls!"
The death of the elder enraged the Pigmen.
They roared as they charged toward the wooden walls.
Meanwhile, the battle at the breach reached its conclusion.
Due to exhaustion, Gobu Di reached his limit first.
"Ah!"
A scream echoed.
Losing strength, Gobu Di failed to raise his spiked club in time.
Pig Da Qiang took advantage, stepping forward and severing Gobu Di's right hand with a single strike.
The severed hand holding the spiked club fell heavily to the ground.
"Die, Goblin!"
Pig Da Qiang let out a victorious roar.
With a sinister grin, he swung his machete down toward Gobu Di's neck.
Even at the end, Gobu Di refused to yield.
Opening its mouth, it roared at Pig Da Qiang.
"How dare you!"
At that moment, a thunderous roar resounded across the battlefield.
The voice was so loud that it drowned out all other sounds.
From the forest to the northwest, a dark shadow suddenly darted out.
It moved so fast it seemed like a bolt of lightning streaking across the wasteland.
The newcomer was none other than Li Meng!
With a furious shout, Li Meng used all his strength to hurl the massive iron rod in his hand.
"Boom!"
A visible shockwave burst forth.
The iron rod whistled through the air.
Its speed stirred up a trail of dust.
Covering hundreds of meters in an instant, the iron rod plunged into the dense formation of Pigmen outside the breach.
"Boom!"
Where the iron rod passed, Pigmen were thrown into the air.
A line of Pigmen was directly pierced through.
At the breach, Pig Da Qiang felt a chill down his spine.
A sudden impact struck from behind.
Then there was nothing but darkness as it was engulfed.
In reality, with a loud "smash," Pig Da Qiang's upper body exploded.
It was as if a watermelon had been smashed open.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
"Boom!"
A large hole appeared in the wooden wall to the left of the breach.
The iron rod, still unstoppable, crashed into the stockade.
It barreled through over ten wooden houses before embedding itself in the eastern wall with a "thud."
"It's over! It's over!"
This scene terrified Pig Da Zhi in the forest.
The feared entity had finally appeared.
Never did it expect a Goblin capable of taking on thousands to emerge.
"Retreat! Retreat! Hurry!"
Pig Da Zhi quickly turned and grabbed a horn from a clansman's waist.
Bringing it to his lips, he blew with all his might.
"Woo!"
The urgent horn resounded through the forest.
It reached the attacking Pigmen at the stockade.
"The leader is dead! The leader is dead!"
The sudden attack and the leader's abrupt death caught the Pigmen off guard.
The horn sound brought them back to their senses.
The leader's death sapped their morale.
The horn's call threw the Pigmen into a panicked retreat.
Both inside and outside the stockade, the Pigmen fled in disarray.
At this moment, hoofbeats thundered from the western forest.
The sound grew louder, shaking the earth.
In the next instant, a tide of Goblin boar riders surged out of the forest.
"Goblin boar riders, charge!"
Seeing the fleeing Pigmen, Gobu Qiang roared in excitement.
Nearly a thousand Goblin boar riders flooded out of the forest.
Like a black cloud, they bore down on the fleeing Pigmen army.
"Goblin riders?"
A startled voice came from the forest.
Pig Da Zhi stared in disbelief at the charging Goblin boar riders.
The Goblins had formed cavalry?
Was this still the foolish race only interested in eating and breeding?
"What a joke!"
Cursing under his breath, Pig Da Zhi turned and fled deeper into the forest without looking back.
When the Goblin boar riders charged out, Li Meng had already reached the breach.
Seeing the fleeing Pigmen, Li Meng didn't bother to pursue them.
Smirking, Li Meng shook his aching hand.
It seemed he had used too much force earlier, exceeding his body's limits.
At the moment he hurled the iron rod, Li Meng felt the bones in his arm fracture.
Thankfully, his regenerative abilities quickly healed the broken bones.
"Boss, my… my hand is broken!"
Seeing the boss approach, Gobu Di plopped to the ground.
Looking at his severed hand, he cried with a face full of despair.
