The Golem Mage - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Repelling the Trump Card Chapter 61: Repelling the Trump Card “Are you finally ready to take things seriously, Alec?” Arthur asked.

“Nah, not really, but I am ready to make sure they can’t even escape back,” Alec replied, and Agnes looked at the both of them, more confused as she was not aware which other trump card Alec might have that would help them win.

Since three thousand Goblins soldiers were no small number, she couldn’t relate to why he looked so relaxed even though they were about to face a small Legion alone with just five hundred mages.

They were disadvantaged considerably, and Alec didn’t seem to care.

And she just wished he would disclose his plans to stop the panic from spreading among the squad members.

Just as she thought, she saw Bryan walking on his horse to the front.

“Hey, no offense, Alec, but what are the plans for our new attack?

We need to get ready for that new wave of attack that they would send towards us, and I am sure you are already aware that they are coming hard at us,” Bryan Lanzt said.

“You seem to be the cunningest and wisest person in your family, but it doesn’t change your nature; you guys are naturally scared when things don’t go your way.

I want you to know whatever happens; I have no intention of sending you or your family to the front against this wave.

I only want your guys to stay behind and support us; can you do that for me?

“Alec said while staring at Bryan.

Eyeballs to Eyeballs.

“Men, it’s hard trying to believe you, but I guess this is what the alliance was supposed to mean, standing by each other even in times of difficulty,” Bryan said
The Lanzt family was in a daze at Bryan’s words, but they realized they preferred being in an alliance with the Gordons family to other families; after all, they knew their powers best, and they had also witnessed how they would try their best to rescue a friend.

The fact that they were not used as cannon fodders for the Gordons family shows how much better they were than other clans.

If their leader, Bryan, decided the Gordons family was the best to follow, they would follow without questions, even if they felt they were at a disadvantage with only 500 hundred mages.

Agnes was perplexed at how Alec had Been able to keep the squad without a riot or anyone becoming scared that they were about to face about three thousand Goblins soldiers; they just seemed to have a type of blind trust.

She also trusted him, but she felt it was because she thought it was because she was aware of his powers and knew his golems were not giving their all.

However, she could not place her hands on the trust the others were giving him.

After all, they don’t know him that well.

If only she knew Alec had a commander title that affected an extensive range of people who are under him, then she would have realized even though she was under his blind trust effects just that her central trust for him was above the essential trust his system provided so was not entirely apparent to her.

After about thirty minutes of waiting, there was finally movement among the Goblins, as about 3000 thousand Goblins started moving, even on the city guards’ side, where the battle was a stall.

They stopped fighting and watching; it was like they all agreed to a cease-fire as they were more interested in watching what would happen.

“Hey Alec, the leader Goblin seems to be among the Goblins coming,” Agne said
“Let him come; what did he expect that we are one type of weakling he could smash with many numbers?” Arthur snorted
“Nah, I am only sure he came along since he is trying to get some battle merits; he must have felt killing Alec with the number of soldiers by his side would be easy, considering we just went through a very tough battle now.”
“As you must have realized now, Alec is a target of the Goblin race, and anyone who could defeat him would be immensely rewarded.

I am sure there is no way that (peak) Tier 1 Goblin would allow that to go to the junior Goblins under him,” Agnes explained.

“Well, he can come; I seriously can’t wait to see their faces when they lose woefully.”
“Gordon spear team, start forming your earth spear,” Alec said, and the seventy mages quickly got to work and formed their earth spears.

“Fire!!!” Alec ordered, and they let the Earth spear fly free to the sky like they were throwing javelin; the seventy Earth spear flew faster, with more incredible speed than the previous times; it was pretty surprising for the mages because they had just realized that their skill was increasing.

The (peak) Tier 1 Goblin who was leading said that all the goblins raised a round shield, each of which they placed above their head, and when the spears landed down this time, they could block the strike.

Some unfortunate Goblins still had their shoulders and feet pierced, but they succeeded in blocking the first wave of attack from the Gordons family with no deaths, which brought smiles to their faces as it was an improvement to them.

“March!!!!!!” the (Peak) Tier 1 goblin leader said as they continued toward Alec and his men, who were still on the hill.

The mages who shot the spear were shocked at how easily the spell they had grown fond and proud of was easily beaten.

Meanwhile, at the Darkbliss area, Clarisa gloated at the new misfortune that had befallen Alec as she wanted him to lose woefully.

“Those seem to be the elite squad among the Tier 1 Goblins,” Agnes said after observing the Goblins walking towards them.

“This is going to be hard,” Bryan said as he realized the type of Goblins that came after them.

“Hard, spare me that those bastards have the guts to show up before me acting cool when they are trying to kill me for battle merits; I will make them wish they were dead when I am through with them since now I am mad, AGAIN!!!” Alec sneered as he ordered another set of earth spears to be made.

He saw what most people didn’t; while they saw elites, he only saw a bunch of experience points trying to play hard to get, and he was not ready to let any of them escape while their hands were numb and shaking from stopping a spell like the Earth Spears.

So what if one earth spear didn’t do the job?

He was ready to send it repeatedly until his seventy mages ran dry of mana.

Everyone looked at him perplexed, as they could not relate to why he would still want to use an attack that didn’t yield any result the first time.

Meanwhile, the (peak) Tier 1 goblin leading was trying his best to increase the Goblin marching speed as he realized that that earth spear spell.

It was much more challenging to defend than he thought; his only hope was that the demon across would give up hope on the spear and move to something else, but he soon heard the words again and felt his body go cold.

“FIRE!!!!!” Alec ordered, and the seventy mages still released their spears; even if they didn’t feel it was worth it, they didn’t dare disrespect Alec’s orders.
