Just like that, the system issued Xiao Chen a series of missions to be accomplished. Glancing at the eager faces of the warriors under his command, he can't help but form an interested smile upon his lips.

"Warriors of Yohan! For many weeks! You have suffered... For many weeks! You have endured... Now... I present to you a battle to test your mettle! A battle to prove that the suffering you went through wasn't in vain..."

The chieftain's loud voice filled with authority echoed through the trees, it was one of the rare times that he spoke to the Yohan First Battalion as a whole.

"Awooh!!! Awooh!!! Awooh!!!"

His warriors replied with excitement, raising their shields and weapons in the air. They were all longing to see blood, anxious to feel their blood rush through their veins at great speeds again which they can only feel when they are engage in real combat.

"Enemies!!! We have plenty of them... Just up ahead...hiding behind the trees and bushes... Ready your weapons... secure your shields... Warriors of Yohan...to a festival of slaughter...we go"

Xiao Chen bellowed after his warriors quieted down. Arming himself with the iron spear and the large shield, he soon gave command.

Taking the White Tiger group with him to bait the goblins into attacking them while the Black Tortoise and the Azure Dragon group will go through the dense trees and try and surround them.

"Why leave us behind?"

Drae'ghanna complained as she approached the chieftain, her face had a look of displeasure and anger. Her eyebrows lowered and pull together, eyelids squinted, lips curled inwards, the corners of her mouth pointing downwards, her jaws tensed, vertical wrinkles between her eyebrows and her nostrils flaring up.

She was displeased with the chieftain's decision of leaving behind her group, she also wanted to participate in the upcoming bloodbath.

"I need you to defend our supplies, just in case that the goblins try to get past us and decide to raid our supplies. I need someone capable of thwarting this possibility, don't worry... Your group, I will put at the frontline when we siege the lair of the Goblin King Jaadul."

Xiao Chen tried to explain as clearly as possible to the displeased Drae'ghanna even pointing out the possible routes of those who will attempt to attack the supplies.

"I'll take your words for it, chief. But the attack on the lair of the goblins. I want my group to spearhead it"

She said and leaving behind the chieftain before he could make a reply. At loss for words, Xiao Chen stared at the back of Drae'ghanna getting further and further away before disappearing behind the wagons of supplies.

"Chief, we'll take your word for it"

One of the orc warriors from the Vermillion Bird group said with his eyes filled with anticipation of a great battle.

*****

Arranging his army on the attack, they march forward. Xiao Chen taking command of the White Tiger first platoon while Gur'kan took control of the second.

"Protect yo necks!!! Cause Yohan Warriors coming through"

Gur'kan bellowed loudly and the warriors of the White Tiger group repeated his words while banging their shields with their weapons to make their intention clear the hiding goblins.

Arranging themselves in a tight square formation in front of the hobgoblin still proudly blocking their path. Their large shields standing in front of them, their iron spears gleamed with danger as they are proudly pointing outwards.

"Foolish orcs!!! Lay down your weapons!!!"

The hobgoblin yelled at Xiao Chen and his warriors who are taking a defensive formation, ready to slay any enemy that comes within their weapons reach.

Discarding his shield for the moment, Xiao Chen walked forward, an iron spear gripped tightly on his hands. Arching his body backwards, the iron spear over his shoulder and ready for a quick and decisive strike.

Like a released arrow from a bowstring, the spear sailed through the air and impaled the hobgoblin who was still proudly standing still, a great target for Xiao Chen's attack.

The proud hobgoblin was pinned by the iron spear to the ground, his body twitch a few times before staying still. His pride, no longer exists as he is sent to the afterlife by Xiao Chen's attack.

"Goblins!!! Come and get em!!!"

Xiao Chen shouted loudly; his deep voice echoed through the trees. Returning to the tight box formation, protected by the large shields and iron spears that shone with lethality.

"Kiek!!! Kill!!! ki!!!"

The goblins angry voices filled the forest, echoing with great momentum as they walked out from the tree lines. Their numbers in thousands, slowly surrounding Xiao Chen and his warriors to avenge their proud and foolish commander.

"Warriors of Yohan!!! Heed my call!!! Don't let the chief kill all of them"

Gur'kan suddenly bellowed and the warriors under his command proudly replied with the response that were accustomed with

"Awooh!!! Awooh!!! Awooh!!!"

Their thundering response just fueled their rising bloodlust even more as they tightened their grips upon their weapons.

From all directions, the goblins charged at their formation with great momentum under the lead of their hobgoblin commanders.

"Hold!!! Hold!!! Hold the line!!!"

Xiao Chen bellowed as they braced themselves against the impact of the numerous goblin's charge from all directions.

"You heard the chief, hold the line!"

Gur'kan yelled to boost the morale of the White Tiger group.

"Awooh!!! Awooh!!! Awooh!!!"

The White Tiger group shouted with great enthusiasm as they held their ground, pushing back the goblins with their shields as they charge at them.

Xiao Chen glanced at his warriors and judge that they have finally stabilized their formation, he quickly gave command

"Push!!!"

He yelled and he rammed his shield to the unlucky goblin standing in front of him knocking it back, the poor goblin stumbled back as it was dazed and surprised by Xiao Chen's sudden counter-attack.

Following upon his actions, the White Tiger group push away the goblins with their shields and pierced the closest goblin with their iron spears, impaling the unlucky goblin with multiple spears.

"Don't let chieftain, kill more than you!!!"

Gur'kan bellowed as he thrusted his spear forward and piercing an unlucky goblin through its mouth. The White Tiger group kept their formation tight and solid as they repelled the goblins, knocking them back with their shields and piercing them with their durable spears.

The White Tiger group operated like a phalanx but against all directions instead of just one direction, repelling and slaughtering any goblins that came too close and personal.

Like a well-oiled machine, they slaughtered the goblins that came too close. The Black Tortoise group and Azure Dragon proceeded forward as they moved forward through the tree lines as they encircle the attacking goblins.
