Green Monster Epic

Chapter 158 Sudden Attack

The closer they got to the borders of the Elven Kingdom, the more the traffic increased, and in a single day, Allen and his team encountered no less than seven merchant caravans of various sizes.

While the goblins in Allen's team, like bumpkins visiting the city, craned their necks, curiously observing the elves, beastmen, and other unfamiliar races in the caravans, they didn't realize that they themselves were objects of curiosity and scrutiny.

In fact, the meaning in the gazes directed at them was even more malicious than the goblins' own curious stares, akin to looking at gorillas in a zoo.

Allen paid no attention to these discriminatory gazes, only feeling that the greatest burden in his heart had been lifted; on this bustling trade route, they couldn't possibly lose their way.

Therefore, he focused more of his energy on the two children in the carriage.

Chloe woke up.

Not long after passing the Thunder Tribe, she stirred her little hand at Eileen's soft call, then opened her eyes, which had been closed in sleep for over ten days, and blankly surveyed her surroundings.

For her sudden awakening, Allen jumped up and down with excitement, wearing a smile on his face all day, fussing around Chloe.

Previously, to keep Chloe from starving, Allen could only have Eileen boil some thin porridge and feed it to her with water.

He had assumed that young Chloe would become much weaker due to the lack of nutrition and prolonged immobility, but to his surprise, after waking up, Chloe, apart from her initial confusion, was incredibly energetic, bouncing around the carriage with great vigor.

"Today, you will take the longsword and give me 500 swings, not one less, and the movements must be standard!!"

To deal with Chloe's excessive energy, Allen had no choice but to start training her in the carriage.

Moreover, during the training, Allen discovered a problem: Chloe's physical fitness had greatly changed after waking up.

Her small stature, less than 1 meter tall, contained a power comparable to that of an adult female goblin.

"Okay!"

Chloe's face showed no disappointment, but rather excitement and seriousness, as she wielded a longsword that was somewhat inconvenient for her current body, swinging it at the air, again and again.

Beside Chloe, the little girl Eileen waved her small dagger with an envious expression, turning it over and over, practicing her wrist strength, and refining the basic movements of the dagger flipping in her palm.

Despite Chloe's constant baring of teeth at Allen in the tribe, the person the little girl admired most in her heart was actually Allen and Snake Flower.

In fact, if the little girl had to choose a master to learn from, she would probably abandon her closer foster father, Snake Flower, and choose Allen.

Perhaps this was an instinct, a mentality of instinctively pursuing and admiring the strong.

The longsword was the weapon of a warrior in the tribe.

Originally, Allen wanted Chloe to practice with a one-handed sword, after all, her old man, Snake Flower, usually taught Chloe some one-handed sword techniques.

However, now that Chloe's strength had skyrocketed, the ironwood-carved one-handed sword was like a weightless wooden stick in her hand, completely unable to play the role of consuming excess energy.

Therefore, Allen simply had someone give Chloe a fine iron one-handed sword, which she could use as a two-handed sword, befitting her height and build.

With the worry of Chloe, the patient, gone, the team's journey slowed down a bit.

The long hours of travel were indeed mentally exhausting for everyone, so Allen no longer urged everyone to speed up.

"Bang!! Bang bang!!"

"Ah!!"

The attack came very suddenly, because Allen really didn't expect that on such a bustling trade route, anyone would be bold enough to attack them.

What he didn't expect even more was that these attackers acted without any scruples, the javelins and crossbow bolts shot directly aimed at taking lives.

At that moment, a Great Goblin clutched his eye socket, an arrow with fletching stuck in his eye socket, and fell straight to the ground.

"Who is it!!!!"

Allen was furious, slapping Eileen and Chloe down into the carriage, casually covering them with some animal skins, then waving his greatsword, knocking away 4-5 javelins shot straight at him, and glared around, searching for the attackers.

Without making him wait long, a dozen figures slowly walked out of the gradually dense forest around them, each figure's gaze towards Allen revealing undisguised greed.

"Brothers, let's do it, don't let others snatch the green skin's head!!"

"Don't let the guys from the Angry Lion get the advantage!!"

A group of attackers shouted some inexplicable words and launched an assault on Allen's team.

Although he still knew nothing about why these people were trying to kill him, Allen and his team were not to be trifled with.

Without Allen saying much, a group of still-standing goblin warriors raised their various weapons and engaged in a melee with the approaching attackers.

The attackers were not weak.

Two of them had already advanced, their weapons dancing in a flurry, driving their opponents, the bear goblins, back in retreat.

At this moment, Allen, who had been surrounded in the middle and had not made a move, finally began his counterattack.

The carriage under his feet suddenly encountered heavy pressure, sinking into the road by about two-tenths, and even the frame made a creaking sound of bearing weight.

Then, as Allen soared into the air, the frame returned to normal.

Only now, Allen's figure, with the blessing of this accumulation of power, turned into a whirlwind, rushing straight towards an advanced kobold he had targeted.

Before the person arrived, the fierce sword wind had already stirred up a strong gust of wind.

Feng Bu, the kobold who had just hammered a bear goblin to the ground, only felt a darkness before his eyes, and the green skin's figure had already attacked him.

"Clang!"

After a sound, Feng Bu rolled on the ground a few times, tumbling more than three yards away before scrambling to his feet and assuming a defensive posture.

Allen's next heavy chop smashed over, forcing Feng Bu to raise his hammer again to resist, and was once again repelled several meters away.

Allen was also burning with anger, and with the blessing of tyrannical rage and physical strength, he treated the kobold in front of him as a channel for venting.

After gaining the upper hand in the first moment, he no longer gave the opponent a chance to turn the tables, continuously using sword moves such as Heavy Chop and Double Strike, smashing the kobold like a rubber ball until the opponent finally couldn't hold on and exposed a flaw.

With a horizontal slash, a kobold's head flew into the sky, bringing with it a fountain-like surge of blood, and the kobold's headless corpse crashed to the ground.

Allen didn't delay.

After just killing an advanced opponent, he made another sharp turn, accelerating and accumulating energy while running, and then once again pointed his sword at another advanced opponent.

This advanced opponent was also an experienced veteran.

When Allen spent less than twenty breaths to kill the leader of his team's formidable competitor, he secretly regretted making his move too early.

It turned out that this green skin's advanced strength was truly quite troublesome.

When Allen accelerated and rushed over, the opponent grabbed the bear goblin he had just captured alive and directly smashed it towards Allen, forcing Allen to free up a hand to grab the leather armor on the flying bear goblin's body, trying to unload the force while trying to pull it to the side.

However, the opponent's great axe, following closely behind, was about to cleave Allen and the bear goblin flying in mid-air in half with a single axe.
