Struggle in the Steam Age

The ogre dragged his bludgeon full of metal fragments towards Lawrence and the others. As the ogre approached, Lawrence also smelled a sticky stench.

"Spread out—" Seeing the ogre rush towards everyone like the locomotive of a steam train, the priest as the captain ordered immediately, and at the same time, a dull gunshot came from nearby. Lawrence moved away from the front of the ogre's impact and found that the magic gunner ambushing on the periphery fired a bullet with magic power. The bullet successfully hit the ogre's calf, and created a palm-sized scorched black area around the wound.

Ow! The hit ogre's mind was sobered up from the effects of the anesthetic, and after shaking its head with the iron helmet, it rushed directly to the place where the gunshots fired outside the tribe.

This monster charged like a steam roller, and everything that stood in its way was knocked away by it. Lawrence saw not only the goblin lying on the ground just now, but also the fragments of the goblin shack that were directly knocked apart among the flying things that were hit.

During this process, the magic gunman ambushing in the surrounding woods fired two consecutive shots. But these two shots only exploded fist-sized sparks on the ogre's helmet and chest. It was at this time that everyone discovered that there was actually a metal plate tied to the body hidden under the fur on the ogre's chest.

Not only that, but the wallets on its wrists and ankles are also studded with thick metal plates. So much so that the bullets fired from the priest's pistol only left a few strings of pitiful sparks on it.

Fortunately, the powerful impact of the magic gunman's bullets slowed down the ogre's footsteps. Taking advantage of the moment it was blocked by two bullets, the ranger and the warrior jumped out from the back of the goblin hut on the left and right, waving their hands. The scimitar and hammer in the middle went straight to the ogre's knee.

Facing the attack that was close at hand, the ogre made corresponding movements. It only measured its body slightly, and the ranger's knife slashed on the sheep's head that was used as the knee armor. The scimitar in his hand only left a not deep bloodstain on the ogre's thigh after smashing the sheep's head.

For this reason, the hammer in the soldier's hand also missed his knee and landed on the thigh above the ogre's knee. After a heavy blow, the ogre left several deep wounds above the thigh.

These wounds caused the ogre to let out an angry roar again. At the same time, enduring the pain, it raised the stumps and sticks in its left and right hands and smashed them down to the two little guys in its eyes. As for Lawrence, who was ten meters away, he could hear the harsh whine of these two things breaking through the air.

"Bang, bang, bang——" When the weapon fell, Lawrence seized the opportunity to raise his pistol and aim at the ogre's thumb and fired continuously. After the three bullets were ejected, almost all of them hit the ogre's right hand. The base of the thumb on the hand holding the stick is at the same position.

Even a creature with strong physical defenses like an ogre cannot use its own body to bear the bullets of a large-caliber pistol unscathed, especially in places as fragile as fingers. So after the three bullets hit, the ogre's carrot-thick thumb that was holding the stick tightly broke away from its palm and fell.

"铛——" After a loud noise, the slightly white tower shield in the warrior's hand blocked the attack of the ogre. Lawrence noticed that the lower part of the shield had been scooped up with dirt. This is a unique combat technique of the warriors. It is connected with the earth through extraordinary power, and the power that hits the shield is resolved through the earth.

"Woo—" The wooden stick in the ogre's hand flew out immediately. Soldiers can use the ground to help them bear the powerful impact of the collision with their skills, but this ogre can only rely on its own body to bear it.

Originally, in this case, the ogre's weapon was at most deflected to one side, but because the important thumb in the right hand used to hold it was interrupted, it didn't grasp the stick firmly and let the stick fly out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldier swung the hammer again and smashed the right knee of the ogre's open door, and the ogre took advantage of the situation and kicked it. In desperation, the soldier could only give up this attack and dodge to the side.

Lawrence noticed a nimble figure appearing on the side of the ogre. This was the ranger who avoided the stump in the ogre's left hand just now. After being blessed with the power of the bull by the priest, he rounded the longbow in his hand and aimed at the ogre a few meters away, with an ominous green light flashing on the arrow.

While the ogre's attention was completely attracted by the warrior, he suddenly let go of the fingers of his right hand holding the bowstring. In an instant, the poisoned feather arrow flew towards the ogre's barely protected waist like lightning.

The arrow was so sharp that it cut through the clothing and tough skin of the ogre's waist like a hot knife cutting butter, and then pierced deeply into its body through the thick fat, leaving only Part of the tail feathers of the arrow leaked out.

This blow made the ogre howl immediately, and everyone present could hear the panic and pain contained in this howl. It may be because the anesthetics affected the brain, it dropped the stump in its left hand very irrationally, grabbed the part of the arrow that was exposed outside the body, and pulled it out.

With a soft sound, a bare arrow shaft was pulled out, while the poisoned arrow with the barb was left in the ogre's body. Raising his hand to glance at the drawn arrow shaft, the ogre snapped the thing cleanly and then rushed towards the ranger who injured it just now with a roar.

Seeing this, the ranger immediately used various obstacles in the goblin tribe to avoid the pursuit, and Lawrence took this opportunity to attack the ogre's ankle with bullets and magic missiles.

After the gunfire output, the leather armor around the ogre's ankle was completely destroyed after eating five bullets and two magic missiles. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the warrior threw down his shield and sprinted to the side of the ogre who was chasing the ranger at the fastest speed, and then launched a combat technique to cover the hammer with a layer of white light.

As the hammer swung down with the sound of the wind, the hammer head the size of an ostrich egg hit the ogre's right ankle hard. In an instant, flesh and blood splattered everywhere, accompanied by the sound of a tree branch snapping.

The running ogre was hit hard by this and immediately fell to the front right. It tried to swing and adjust its body to restore its balance, but the anesthetic in its stomach and the poison on the arrow just now made his efforts fail.

With a bang, the ogre fell to the ground like a tree stump, stirring up a cloud of dust. This also means that the battle has come to an end.

After all, a tall and burly creature like an ogre is usually not sensitive enough when it gets up from the ground, let alone being seriously poisoned now. Facing it that fell down, Lawrence and the others could easily attack the vital points that were not easy to attack because of their height.

The dust kicked up by the ogre hadn't cleared away when it fell, and bullets, magic missiles, and swords all rushed to the back of its neck that was exposed after it fell to the ground. At first, the ogre screamed a few times and tried to stand up with its arms supported, but soon it was motionless under everyone's attack.
