"Interesting! Really interesting! "
While they were fighting on the ground, Sui Xiong, who was invisible in the air not far from the battlefield, was watching the battle with great interest.
He was very satisfied with the performance of the clergymen, and Baron Dahl's wise decision made him secretly nod his head. But at the moment, what interested him was actually the goblin chief.
Different from mortals, Sui Xiong had great power and enough insight. He had already seen through this guy's real ability. Its other abilities were mediocre. The only thing that was amazing was its ability to suddenly increase in size.
This ability was not the "Giant Transformation Spell" that the spellcasters in the mopping up army had determined, but another kind of strange spell, the Giant Worm Spell.
Some of the senior adventurers had participated in the battle to exterminate the insects. In those battles, they occasionally saw magic insects that could display a strange ability and instantly become as big as a human, or even bigger than a human. The spellcasters studied this kind of magic insect, hoping to analyze this wonderful ability, develop it into a spell, and then use it on humans or golems.
Imagine, if a golem that was almost as tall as two people suddenly became more than ten times bigger, how powerful would it be! Even if it could not last long, even if it could only fight in this state for ten to twenty seconds, it would be enough to severely damage the enemy's battle formation, and at the same time, severely damage the enemy's morale.
However, after a period of research, everyone gave up on this seemingly tempting idea. Even though a lot of magic power and resources had been spent, and a lot of experiment subjects had been lost, there had never been a critical breakthrough to transfer the spell to "target people" or "target golems".
As time passed, the spellcasters who studied this kind of magic insect became fewer and fewer. In the end, this kind of research almost became the research content of those departments that were left to the cold. Only the mages who had lost in the power struggle would reluctantly go to the departments that had little resources, and study things that were destined to be fruitless — including those insects.
The only ones who had some results were the druids, who had developed the famous "Giant Worm Spell." This spell could make a specially raised magic insect almost ten times bigger, and it could immediately become a reliable ally.
But today, Sui Xiong saw a living example.
This goblin chief should have a unique bloodline. According to Sui Xiong's analysis, it not only had a small amount of demon insect bloodline, but it also had a lot of giant bloodline. The two bloodlines combined with the Gnome bloodline to produce a miraculous effect. The abilities of the insect-type Magical Beasts were transferred to the Gnome bloodline.
Although it was much weaker than the original Giant Bug Spell, it was much more powerful than the Giant Transformation Spell. If he could thoroughly study this situation, maybe there would be a unique magic in Sui Xiong's church. In the future, when his clergies fought, they would be able to shout "Holy Light, grant me strength!" and then turn into majestic behemoths that stood taller than a house.
Imagine, when two armies faced each other, hundreds of clergies would 'descend from the heavens'. Even if the enemy was not scared to death, they would still be able to wield their equally massive weapons and reap the harvest like crops in an autumn field.
Facing such an army, no matter how brave and tenacious the enemy was, they would not be able to withstand a single blow!
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh even more happily.
The goblin chief on the ground could not laugh. On the contrary, he was in a very difficult situation.
The clergies of the Church of the Void Mask had put on a "besieging BOSS" posture to beat him up, which made the monster, which was not very powerful, feel very uncomfortable. Its strength was at most able to deal with two or three Saint Samurai. If six Saint Samurai attacked together, even if it turned into a giant, it would not be able to resist, not to mention that there were priests and priests helping the Saint Samurai.
The two rangers who did not attack it were now taking turns to draw their bows, shooting arrows at the goblin shaman unhurriedly. As experienced adventurers, they did not expect to use such ordinary attacks to knock down the monster, whose strength was no less than theirs. However, through this method, they firmly restrained the opponent, causing the goblin shaman to roar continuously, but there was nothing it could do.
It had wanted to cast spells to help the chief more than once, but in the face of two rangers whose strength was not inferior to its own, and in the face of not very powerful arrows, each of which was aimed at its vital parts, there was no way it could cast spells properly. Just blocking or dodging the attacks of the two rangers had almost exhausted all of its energy.
As for other things, it really could not care less.
At the same time, the army under Baron Dahl, under the leadership of the knights, began a massacre of the ordinary goblins. The heavily armed soldiers rushed in front, and the skilled archers followed behind. The goblins were like wheat being harvested, falling one after another.
There were also some relatively strong goblins, such as goblin warriors, goblin hunters, goblin archers, and so on. However, their strength was at best comparable to that of professional soldiers who had received combat training all year round, and they could not withstand a single blow from the knights and quasi-knights. Not to mention that there were spellcasters supporting the knights, and even Priest Karabar of the Church of the Void Mask had freed up his hands to cast a few large-scale support spells.
Priests were considered to be spell casters who specialized in spells. Unlike priests who could not wear heavy armor and fight in battle, they were more like mages in the direction of divine spells. This made their spellcasting ability far superior to that of ordinary priests, especially in the area of large-scale support spells.
Priest Karabar used four large-scale support spells, first to boost the morale of the enemy, then to give everyone on the battlefield a divine shield that could slightly weaken the enemy's attack, and then to give everyone on the battlefield a blessing, so that they could deal more damage. The last spell allowed everyone on the side to slowly recover from the damage they had suffered, and in about ten seconds, they could recover to the level of a scratch.
These four spells were not that great when used individually, but when used as a set, it greatly increased the strength and morale of the mopping army. Not to mention that the spells themselves could boost morale, just the effect of the shield and the blessing of the weapon was enough to double people's confidence. In addition, they could clearly feel that their wounds were slowly healing, which made the soldiers' courage soar. Naturally, they were much braver in battle.
As the saying goes, when two enemies meet on a narrow path, the braver one wins. The mopping army was originally much stronger than the goblins, and coupled with the fact that they were even braver, the outcome of this battle was actually already decided.
After fighting for about half an hour, the battle finally came to an abrupt end with the indignant roar of the goblin chief.
"Really … a … powerful … guy!" The bear-like paladin completed the last blow, and stood on the body of the goblin chief, whose chest was pierced, and blood was spurting out like a fountain. He was panting like a bellows.
Not only was he tired, but the other paladins were also tired. In the battle just now, the goblin chief had used three gigantification spells. If not for their tacit understanding and well-trained coordination, it was likely that some of them would have been unavoidably injured.
Now, they were only tired, and no one was injured, which was already the best result.
