Magic

My uncle and I lead the charges in the front while my men follow us from behind. Our target is the goblin mage in the back. While the goblin mage is a long-rank monster, it still disturbs the soldier's formation, and we need to take care of them immediately before they can cast their spell.

I stab every goblin stand in my charges and continue to ride my horse toward the goblin mage. When I arrived in front of the goblin mage, I thrust my spear toward the goblin head and killed it. I look around and see that the other is also killing the mage, but some of my men get injured when one of the mages finishes their chant.

*ROAR*

Before I could order the soldier to get back, I heard a loud roar coming from the deeper part of the goblin village. I look at the source of the roar and see massive goblins wearing armor and holding a butcher sword in their hands. This creature is the Goblin King, a C+ creature that needs a group of ten soldiers to kill.

However, what makes Goblin King more dangerous is not his strength; but rather, it will always have at least five Goblin Generals on its side, fifty Goblin Knights and seventy Goblin Mages.

And by the look of it, there are at least sixty Goblin Knights near the Goblin King. I cannot see how many Goblin Mage there, but I know they are hiding behind the Goblin King's giant figure.

"Get back! We need to regroup! Archer! I leave the Goblin Mage to you guys!"

I use a little bit of my blue magic to amplify my voice so the archer could hear my command. After saying that, My men and I begin to regroup with the foot soldier. For now, we need to hold our ground against the incoming angry army of Goblin.

"Shield front! Spear! Kill every goblin you can! The rest of you follow me! We will protect the shield from the one that is coming from the side!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Just like I said earlier, an army of Goblins are charging at us at full speed. Our shielder could hold their ground just fine, but I know that it will not last long. So, without anyone noticing, I take out my wand and conjure a hundred arrows in the air and shoot it at the goblin mage in the back.

I did not stop there. I also transfigured a big rock near the goblin mage into a tiger and made it attack them. I continue to change three more boulders into tigers and order them to attack the goblin army's backline.

Leaving the tiger wreaking havoc in the enemy backline, I focus on the enemy in front of me. Then, I lead another charge to attack the enemy from the flank with a group of horsemen to reduce the goblin number.

With this strategy, we can make the shielder job a little bit easier. However, by doing this, I also risk that our flank will be breached as we sacrifice defense for offense, but I know my uncle and his men can take care of the defense while we do the offense.

"Back!"

I order my men to go back as I see the Goblin King and his personal army begin to move. The first one to charge at us is a Goblin Knight, followed by more than seventy Goblin Warriors. We ride toward the rest of the army and regroup.

When we regroup with the other, I look at my uncle before saying.

"What should we do?"

"There is nothing we can do but hold our ground for now. When Goblin Archer and Warrior are gone, we will charge at the Goblin King. We need to kill that thing before it can enrage even further. Also, you should use your magic right about now."

I look at my uncle with a surprised face.

"Don't look at me with that face. I see you using a wand from your pocket and creating that big tiger in the enemy backline. I know that you don't want to get the Magic Tower's attention, but we really need your magic. I also want to see what kind of magic you can do. It has been a while since I saw magic."

"... I guess you are right."

"Don't worry, boy. These men are your trusted people that will follow you through hell. These people are the people that were personally picked by your father to protect you. You can trust them. You also can trust my men and me. We will not tell anyone. Heh, as if people trust the barbarian from the north anyway."

"Very well."

I take out my wand from my pocket and flick it toward the goblin that tries to breach the formation before conjuring a thousand arrows in the air and fire it at the goblins. Then, when I see the goblin mage finished with their chant, I flick my wand and say.

"Protego Tria!"

An invisible barrier appears and blocks the spell the Goblin mage cast at my men and me. Not only spell, but it also blocks all the arrows the goblin archer shoots at us.

"This is our chance to push back! Charge!"

While I was blocking all the spells, the Goblin Mage fired at me. My uncle shouted and led the horseman to do another charge. Seeing the people charging at the enemy's backline, I decided to focus my attention on the enemy in front of me.

"Confringo!"

With my wand pointed in the general direction of my target, an explosion is happening. With the amount of mana I throw at this spell, it creates enough explosion to kill ten or so Goblins.

For a few minutes or so, I continue to fire my spell at the Goblins and also try to protect my men from getting injured from the Goblin attack. However, with the addition of the Goblin Knight that attacks our formation, the Goblin Knight can block my spell with their shield and reduce the damage received from time to time.

"My Lord!"

I look at the captain of the shielder group before saying.

"What?"

"Look!"

I look at where my captain points his finger and see that the goblin from all sides surrounds my uncle while the Goblin King fights them with the butcher sword in his hand.

"Captain, I will leave this position to you."

"Leave it to me, My Lord! I will not disappoint you!"

"Thank you."

I then begin to run toward my uncle with my spear and wand in hand. I flick my wand and cast Deprimo and create a giant hole in the ground and transfigure the pebble into a spike before levitating the goblin coming at my way toward the hole from twenty meters high in the air.

I also use my spear when the goblin is too close to me and kill it by thrusting or slicing the goblin.

After less than a minute of running toward my uncle, I conjure a fire whip and use it to attack the goblin knight that surrounds my uncle and the horsemen. When I get their attention, I cast another blasting curse at the Goblin Knight and kill it with one spell. Because of how big the explosion is, the other Goblin around it also gets hit by my spell.

"Get back!"

When they see I create a gap in the goblin formation, my uncle orders the men to retreat. However, when my uncle offered his hand for me to take, I shook my head and said.

"I will finish this fight. You go back first. I don't want to cause friendly fire."

My uncle hesitated for a second before nodding and standing behind me while the other retreated to the back and helped the foot soldier.

I ignore my uncle's curious expression and raise my wand, take a deep breath, and cast one of the most dangerous spells I can cast.

"Fiendfyre!"

After I say that, a lion made of fire appears from the ground and begins to massacre the goblin in its way. When all the goblin guarding the goblin king is dead, the Fiendfyre look at the massive goblin and roar at it before charging at the goblin king and burning it into dust.

When the fire looks at my uncle and roars, I assert my dominance by flaring the remainder of my magic to remain the spell who is the alpha in this group. When I see the fire bow its head, I cancel the spell and see the fire is gone.

I look at my uncle and smile a little before suddenly darkness consumes me.
