The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Snap—Snap—

There was a scalp-numbing chewing sound, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

"Giggle!"

The hobgoblin laughed happily. He chewed the corpse in his hand and spit out the hard bones.

He completely forgot that he was following his dwarf compatriots to invade human villages.

The gate was broken down, a gap was knocked out in the fence, and the short goblin immediately rushed in screaming.

"Form a formation! Form a formation!" At this time, Madison hurried over with his soldiers.

He looked at the goblins that kept pouring in and was about to curse, but when his eyes moved to the village entrance, he was stunned.

"What the hell is this thing? A bear?" He gasped at the giant goblin's huge body. This thing was taller than the horse he was riding!

"Take your soldiers back! Leave these two to us!" McLaren shouted to Madison.

The hobgoblin in front of him had forgotten about attacking because he had food in his hand, and his mood was relatively stable.

But the situation in Lyon is not optimistic.

The hobgoblin stopped after smashing the gate, and seemed a little dazed.

But it soon came to its senses and grabbed the person it had knocked down.

Lyon used the Alder Seal to try to repel the opponent.

But unfortunately, his seal had no effect at all against the big guy in front of him.

The sigil that could knock a goblin over was like a breeze in front of the giant goblin, only slowing down the opponent's movements for a few seconds.

"Oooooooo-"

Although the seal did not knock the earth goblin over, Lyon's action successfully attracted the other party's attention.

It opened its big hands and staggered towards Leon, buying time for the villagers who fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, the three people on the ground could not escape death.

After being knocked over, they temporarily lost the ability to move, and after struggling for a long time out of fear, they were unable to get up from the muddy ground.

Lyon held back the big goblin and found time to cast the Alder Sign to repel the oncoming goblin, but the three men were unable to get up and were still bitten to death by the oncoming goblins.

Leon had no choice but to focus his attention on the hobgoblin in front of him.

He was originally wary of the goblins around him, but these short bastards seemed to be deliberately avoiding the big goblins.

After observation, he found that the intelligence of the hobgoblin was even lower than that of the goblin, and it could not distinguish between enemies and allies.

Any living thing that moves in front of it will be attacked by it.

"Low intelligence..." Leon easily avoided the hobgoblin's hand and swung his sword around him.

Not only do hobgoblins have low intelligence, they are also very clumsy, but they are very strong and have relatively thick skin.

Leon's steel sword cut its skin, but no blood flowed out, only a layer of disgusting mucus.

The mucus stuck to the steel sword and could not be washed away by rain. It also covered the sword oil he applied on it, making the sword oil completely ineffective.

Lyon frowned and turned to look at McLaren.

McLaren isn't much better.

The hobgoblins cannot hurt the agile knights, but likewise, the knights cannot cause effective damage to the hobgoblins.

He moved nimbly around the hobgoblin, trying to find its weakness.

But alas, the hobgoblins are covered from head to toe in thick fur, which is the armor they inherited from the forest trolls.

Its vulnerable parts are its eyes and mouth, but its nearly three-meter height and relatively flexible arms make it impossible for knights to injure these parts.

Leon withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and came up with a way to deal with it.

The hobgoblin swung its arms towards him. Leon squatted down to avoid it and took a step to the side. Then, when the hobgoblin turned around, he suddenly stretched out his hand and made a seal in its face.

Axis Seal!

This seal mainly acts on the target's spirit. It can not only be used to calm a frightened horse, but also to confuse or control creatures with low intelligence, and even has an effect on people with weak willpower.

Lyon cast the Axis Seal on the hobgoblin in front of him, and a strange wave emanated from his palm.

The hobgoblin shook his head slightly and calmed down.

Its eyes lost focus and saliva flowed from its bloody mouth, like a three-meter-tall idiot.

"Yes! That's it! Now I order you to turn around." Leon said softly.

The hobgoblin turned around in a daze and walked towards the gate.

The advantage of the Axis Seal is that it does not require the controlled creature to understand what you say; it works on the spiritual level.

"Very good!" Lyon followed carefully.

Just as the hobgoblin was about to reach the gate, a shrill cry was heard outside the village.

“Ah—ah—ah—”

"Ouch——"

The hobgoblin he was controlling also cried out, then instantly broke free from his control and waved his hands to attack him.

Leon jumped back just in time to avoid the hobgoblin's attack.

On the other side, McLaren's offensive rhythm was also disrupted by the sudden shout, and he was almost hit on the head by the earth goblin.

"What's going on? Why did it suddenly go crazy?" McLaren shouted.

"Outside." Leon shouted, turning to avoid the approaching hobgoblin and looking out through the doorway.

He saw a goblin slightly larger than an ordinary goblin howling not far from the door, surrounded by a circle of ordinary goblins.

"The Goblin Leader! It's the one controlling the goblins!" Leon recognized the unique goblin at a glance.

When they were attacked by goblins for the first time, there was also a goblin leader controlling the goblin group.

The goblin leaders have higher IQs. Although they cannot speak, they can control other goblins through roaring.

This is how the hobgoblins are controlled!

“Ah—Ah—Ah—Ah—” the goblin leader screamed and looked at Leon angrily.

Originally, it was commanding a group of goblins from a farther distance, but it discovered that one of its generals was controlled by a strange human.

If it hadn't shouted in time and awakened the earth goblin, this general would have been lost.

The goblin leader grinned and yelled, his voice sharp and rhythmic.

The two earth elves were under its control again, and their movements became much faster.

Leon kept dodging, with Madison's army behind him. He couldn't lure the goblins over, otherwise the goblins would immediately break through the defense line and attack other villagers.

Leon glanced at the goblin leader outside the door, who was grinning and yelling at him.

"Is that so? I don't really understand it, but I can give it a try..." Leon thought to himself.

Then he opened his mouth and shouted loudly, imitating the rhythm of the goblin leader's shouting.

“Ah—ah—ah—”

The attacking hobgoblin suddenly stopped, looked around in confusion, and then suddenly attacked a goblin next to it.

When Leon's shout rang out, the goblin leader outside stopped talking abruptly, and seemed a little confused.

If it could speak, it would definitely say that this human is called an egg!

"Ah-ah-ah-ah--" It ran forward in frustration and changed the rhythm of its calls.

The hobgoblin immediately stopped moving, grabbed a goblin in each hand, and turned around in a daze.

Leon Ye immediately followed suit and shouted like the goblin leader.

Then the hobgoblin continued to attack the goblins around it, or any creatures around it that could attack.

"Ah—Ah—Ah—" the goblin leader was angry. It approached the big goblin and continued to scream, trying to take back control.

However, it came too close.

This time Leon did not scream, he rushed towards the goblin leader.

When the goblin leader saw Leon rushing towards him, he immediately wanted to turn around and run away, while at the same time commanding the goblins to pounce on Leon to block his attack.

But with a distance of less than ten meters, how could Lyon let it succeed?

He cast the Alder Seal to knock over several goblins that were charging at him, then hurled the steel sword in his hand fiercely, directly piercing the goblin's leader!

The goblin leader fell to the ground with a scream. It tried to get up in panic, but Leon, who had caught up with it, stepped on its back.

Leon drew out his steel sword and cut off the head of the goblin leader.

With the death of the goblin leader, the attacking goblins lost their command, the attack became chaotic, and some even began to flee.

Madison keenly noticed this abnormal situation. He raised his sword and shouted, "Kill!"
