Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 23 Melee
"Zhizhizhizhi——"

Driver blew a series of whistles, and a large group of rats came out from all corners of the town of Frome and began to bite everyone madly and indiscriminately. The goblin successfully added fuel to the already chaotic situation.

"Who launched the attack?!" Ivy swung her sword again and cut off the arm of a gangster. "Quest, didn't you say it might be the barbarians? How could it become like this!"

"It's not us, you stupid half-elf!" Sera picked up a huge double-edged axe and rushed into the crowd with his companions. "There are only four people left in our tribe, and we are all here!"

"It's outside! The barbarians outside!" Quest suddenly realized something. He leaped behind the bandit and twisted his hands hard, making the other's face rotate 180 degrees towards him.

"There must be someone else behind this. He persuaded the barbarians outside who couldn't enter the town, and possibly the refugees as well!"

"It's ridiculous! Absurd!" The elf was already tall, and he was standing on the table. He attracted a lot of firepower. Now he was struggling and was about to collapse.

"I'm actually fighting alongside half-bloods, barbarians, demons, and even a goblin. I must be crazy!"

"Who of you can help me? I can't take it anymore!"

Ron responded immediately, flames dancing at his fingertips. Although the accuracy and power were not very high, it did help the elf escape from the encirclement.

"Thank you! I'm Mindatis, an adventurer from the other side of the Delusion Land." The elf jumped to Ron's side and formed a new front with Ivy, Quest, and Driver. The pressure on both sides was immediately reduced a lot.

But they soon discovered that it didn't seem to be just because of the formation - the rear of the bandits had also become chaotic, they were running around everywhere, and no one knew what they were avoiding.

"Halek!" Ivy cursed angrily. In the darkness, the half-elf could clearly see a giant man waving a huge stick to lead the way, followed by dozens of barbarians.

"Damn it, the Dire Wolf Tribe!" Sera was also furious, "These damn bandits!"

"Young ones, rush for me!"

At this moment, Halleck had completely lost the appearance of the ruffian outside the city the day before, and had become a bandit and robber. I don't know how he persuaded almost all the barbarian tribes outside the city, and after massacring the refugees, he broke through the defense line of the guards outside the town and rushed in.

"Kill them all, this town is where our new tribe is!"

"Don't even think about it!" Ivy rushed forward with a sword and fought two moves with Halek.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

In the melee, Driver fired arrows like rain, pouring down on the barbarians. The experienced goblin hunters were obviously used to dealing with prey larger than themselves, and the arrowheads all targeted vital parts such as eyes, Achilles tendons, and lower body, causing considerable trouble to the opponents.

At the same time, Sera and others from the Ochre Tribe also rushed forward and fought with the enemy.

But even so, Halek's strength was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and every blow he swung with the giant stick was powerful and heavy. He was not afraid even when everyone besieged him.

Mindatis, Quest and Ivy were repelled one after another, and Sera of the Ochre Tribe was gradually overwhelmed by the opponent's offensive.

"What alchemical potion did he take?" Lavinia saw the clue immediately. This was definitely not the power that ordinary rage could bring! "There must be someone behind him!" "Look! His target is Mayor Victor!" Mindatis suddenly shouted.

As expected, after repelling all the blockers, Halek's goal was completely different from that of the other barbarians. He overturned a long table with one hand and charged straight towards Victor!

In the circumstances, the mayor of Frome showed amazing calm and... strength.

"Thunder wave!" Victor roared, and a wave of thunder force field swept out from his body. The sudden explosion blew away all the creatures around him, whether enemy or friendly. Even Halek staggered.

"What is your purpose in doing all this? Who sent you here?!"

"He is a... sorcerer?!" Mindatis frowned, "This guy didn't even make a move just now!"

"Hiding it really deep!"

The hair on the back of Lavinia's head moved without wind, and her spell book floated in front of her and automatically turned to a certain page: "Magic Missile!"

Three glowing magic force field arrows were released, hitting a barbarian accurately, leaving a fist-sized blood hole in his chest. The barbarian fell to the ground wailing, apparently dead.

The situation was urgent, and she couldn't be stingy with her magic.

"Bunny! Where's your magic?!"

"I, I don't have any spells to use!" There was a hint of tears in Boone's voice, "All I have prepared are water creation and lesser recovery!"

This kind halfling priest had almost no other types of divine spells prepared, which were almost useless in a fight.

So much so that when a human gangster appeared silently behind her, she was still unaware!
"Bang!" A hard hammer swept across and hit the back of the attacker's head heavily. It was Victoria, who was just introduced to everyone by Victor.

"Bunny, don't be distracted!" Victoria's voice was gentle and steady, giving people a sense of security. At this moment, she was shining with light, like a god of war under the protection of the pious shield.

When she joined the battle, Ivy's pressure suddenly decreased. She could finally free herself from blind defense and launch a powerful revenge on the surrounding barbarians.

The moonlight was gradually setting in the sky, the smell of blood in the town was getting stronger, and the battle was slowly but surely coming to an end. Even the violent and drugged Halek could not reverse their defeat.

"Shield!" Ron replaced the exhausted and wounded Ivy and used the shield spell to take Halek's blow.

Although it was very dangerous and his shield was shattered immediately, fortunately he did not suffer more damage besides some impact.

"Halek, you bastard—" Sera had gone berserk for the second time. The giant axe in his hand created a bloody gust of wind and chopped into Halek's back.

This time, the barbarians, who were already at the end of their strength, were no longer able to resist.
