Soon, more than a dozen women had their throats slit one after another and were thrown into the fire.

The fire is gradually expanding...

Soon, the women tied to the carts were used up, and the big goblins took down the women tied to the shields and threw them in front of the gold-level goblin shaman...

Dozens of women died miserably and were burned to ashes in the flames.

However, that small fire shouldn't have been able to burn so many people... and it shouldn't have burned so quickly...

Suddenly, many big goblins on the goblin side let out piercing shouts.

The goblin warriors who were fighting with humans actually gave up their attack after hearing this voice, leaving behind corpses on the ground, and retreated under the pressure of arrows and spears.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Xiuyi noticed many things that went against common sense.

But he couldn't figure out what had happened.

Baudelaire was worried about a trap, so he did not order a pursuit. He only told the soldiers to maintain their formation and not to mess up. The archers and javelin throwers in the rear took the opportunity to attack a few more times.

Their team was originally used to delay the main force of the goblins, so they were equipped with a lot of equipment such as javelins and arrows, and there was no need to worry about consumption.

After all the goblins who could still move retreated, the battlefield became eerily quiet.

The two armies, which had been fighting desperately the moment before, looked at each other across the river, and neither side had any intention of taking the initiative to attack.

But the human side seemed to be passive.

After the goblins retreated, the women who had been huddled under the hedgehog formation finally came to their senses.

They realized they were saved and desperately slapped their shields stained with smelly blood. Some of them were so excited that they even banged their heads against the shields like crazy.

"Save us... let us in... please..."

The sounds of "bang bang bang" and crying were endless, and some women soon got themselves beaten to a bloody mess.

Many soldiers could not bear it and asked Baudelaire to allow the women who had escaped death to retreat back into the battle line.

One shield-bearing soldier even tried to sneak a hole in to let the women in.

Fortunately, Baudelaire was quick enough. He rushed forward and grabbed the shoulder of the soldier who was about to do something small, and ordered him in his ear not to do anything unnecessary.

This unexpected change shook the soldiers' originally hardened hearts.

The nascent flame army soul also became illusory and shaky because of the soldiers' hesitation.

Seeing the changes in the soldiers' eyes and feeling the power being stripped away, Baudelaire was undecided for a moment and tilted his head to look at Shuichi.

If Baudelaire followed his idea, he would certainly not be willing to let these women enter the formation, but... the goblins had all retreated and there was no sign of an attack for the time being.

No matter how you look at it, it's a good opportunity to save people.

It would be unreasonable not to do something at this time.

Xiuyi thought for a moment, then asked Phoenix Fire, who had just flown back to his shoulder: "Phoenix Fire, what do you think?"

"Master, are you worried that there is something wrong with them?"

During the previous battle, Phoenix Fire went out for a walk and killed dozens of goblin warriors with fireballs.

"They are still unaffected by Wind Song. I'm not sure what their current situation is."

Even if these women were judged as hostile by Wind Song, it would be better than nothing happening as it is now.

The goblins have all retreated, and it seems that there are no signs of attacking for the time being.

Although he couldn't figure out what they were going to do by falling to the ground, Shuichi knew that the goblins must be planning something bad.

But the soldiers would not think so much. They could only see the surface and hope to protect the more than a dozen surviving women.

At this point, if Shuichi still refuses to save people, it really doesn't make sense.

The goblins did not intend to attack immediately; they seemed to be waiting for Shuichi to make a choice.

Should we save these poor women who have barely survived a near-death experience?

"Phoenix Fire... go and take a look. If everything is ok, ask Baudelaire to make a hole and let them in..."

Finally, Shuichi decided to save the people.

"Well, although they are dirty, if the master asks...Phoenix Fire will listen."

Just as Phoenix Fire was about to spread its wings and fly towards Baudelaire, who was more than ten meters away, Shuichi suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a moment!"

He called a halt to the Phoenix Fire.

Phoenix Fire spread its wings, circled in front of Xiuyi's eyes, and flew back to his shoulder.

Shuichi took a deep breath and made the final decision: "The formation cannot be moved. Let Baudelaire tell those women that if they want to survive, they have to walk around the hedgehog formation and go around from both sides of the formation."

The current Hedgehog Formation is the original town of a hundred people.

Because five hundred soldiers emerged from the carriages later, the hedgehog formation now consisted of more than five hundred people.

There are more than a hundred shield bearers in the front row alone.

If they were lined up together, it would be almost the length of a football field!

"Okay." Phoenix Fire stopped at Xiuyi's shoulder and tilted its head to look at him for two seconds. After making sure that he was really determined this time, it flew towards the tin can of Baudelaire.

"An army cannot be run with kindness...An army cannot be run with kindness...I want to save you...but I have to be more responsible for the soldiers under my command..."

Xiuyi stopped playing, clenched his fists, and silently repeated "A man of kindness cannot be in charge of an army" several times, then he forced himself to suppress the weakness and guilt in his heart.

He lowered his head, his eyes dimmed: "Today, if you can survive, it is all earned by yourselves, it has nothing to do with me..."

Women who have experienced so much suffering and still have a strong desire to survive are not simple people. They quickly chose to follow Baudelaire's suggestion and go around the edge of the hedgehog formation.

Seeing from afar a dozen surviving women crawling around the edge of the shields pressed to the ground and moving under countless spears, the Goblin King suddenly felt that he had been fooled.

The feeling of having your plan fail is not pleasant. The humiliation of having your IQ rubbed against the ground can drive anyone who claims to be smart crazy.

The Goblin King turned his head and yelled at the Gold-level Goblin Shaman, venting his dissatisfaction.

When the Goblin Shaman heard the Goblin King's dissatisfied roar, he did not respond much while casting a spell. He just nodded slightly, raised his human bone staff, and uttered a series of sharp notes loudly and quickly.

Goblin Slayer, who had the [Goblin Expert] trait, trembled slightly when he heard these notes, and shouted to Shuichi: "Be prepared for fire defense! The Goblin Shaman is using sacrificial magic!!"

Sacrificial magic... This is an evil magical ritual.

Strengthens spellcasting by killing lives during the casting.

In theory, the more lives killed in the sacrifice, the more powerful the magic will be.

It is very suitable for a super fertile bandit race like goblins.
