Chapter 434: Chapter 164 Boar Knights

"Hah! That dagger goblin thinks that we will be tired while running because we have heavy armour on!" Royal Boar Knight Hamlet snorted with arrogance as he and his regiment of elite boar knights continued to chase after the sole goblin. The boar knights were enchanted with a spell that made their armour light so running was not an issue for them.

It happened when the dagger goblin silently assassinated one of the mage boar knights. Their mage knight was one of the few knights who had practically no armour on, which allowed the dagger goblin to completely surprise the mage knight and kill him in one blow.

Such an action enraged Royal Boar Knight Hamlet as mage knights were not easy to find and replace due to their exceptional talents in detecting where the enemy would be and supporting the entire regiment with buffs.

Regardless, Hamlet was joyful when he saw the goblin slow down considerably, especially when they charged through the forest, destroying obstacle courses of complex flora as they chased down the goblin.

Eventually, the dagger goblin stopped and tried to climb a tree but to slipped and fell. Of course, it was merely a ruse to let Hamlet feel that his objective of capturing or killing the goblin was nigh.

"Ha! You pitiful green ugly! You deserve the punishment of my Hammer!" Bacon, a Quasi Royal Knight, faithful to Hamlet, shouted as he brought out his hammer and the rest of the Boar Knights finally took a breather to watch the show.

As the hammer fell to break the ground, the dagger goblin used his lightning reflexes and leapt across a small opening between two trees. Unfortunately, Bacon did not run into the hidden bear trap. Instead, he too leapt through the small opening of the two trees, hoping to destroy the tree in the process as he aimed to catch the pesky goblin.

It was at this moment that branches from both trees became animated as they grabbed onto Bacon and started to poke through his armour to hold tightly onto him. "What the?!!" Bacon felt the tree branches penetrating into his skin and it was causing him immense pain, although it was still bearable for a boar man. However, Bacon was immobilised and could not move.

That was when he realised his blood and energy were being sapped away and into the trees. "Damn it! These trees are Venus Animal-traps!" Hamlet shouted as he commanded a few of his knights to get Bacon out of the trees.

"SNAP!"

A boar knight suddenly shouted in agony as the knight realised that there was actually a well-hidden bear trap right beside the two trees. "Traps?!" Hamlet then found out that the dagger goblin had probably led them into an ambush area but there was still no signs of movement around.

"Maybe it is just a solitary trap but just in case… Shield Cavalry! Surround me and observe for a possible ambush! Hammer Cavalry, continue helping Sir Bacon out of that blood sapping tree quickly! One of you go and help that poor sod in the bear trap. Sword and Lance Cavalries, search the area thoroughly for that stupid goblin." Hamlet shouted as the remaining boar knights split up to do what was needed of them.

However, that order was soon to create a heavy blow on the Knights' morale and it all started when a couple of the hammer cavalry knights under Bacon went around the tree to try and pull Bacon out. As they simultaneously pulled Bacon out of the blood sapping trees, the momentum caused them to step backwards, activating the pitfall trap that was hidden a few steps behind the two trees.

Five Hammer Boar Knights along with Sir Bacon fell into the pitfall trap and in that chaos, a bullet shot which was muffled by the boars' own shouting and snorting noise removed the counterweight of the stone that was holding onto the live grenades.

Unknowingly, a bright flash of blinding light distracted the Boar Knights. That flash was followed by an explosion which occurred inside the pitfall trap, causing the Boar Knights, including Bacon, who were trapped inside to be badly wounded. One of the fallen knights died because of the weight of five other boar man crashing onto him. The explosion of the grenades sealed the deal.

As the dust settled and his eyes recovered, Hamlet looked around to see more boar knights lying around the area, only to find two goblins taking the opportunity to ensure that the fallen boar knights were killed properly. Ren Wei's standard bullet shots were sufficient to drop the boar knights but the knights were too sturdy to die from a bullet wound so the goblins went in for the follow up kill.

Hamlet became extremely enraged by the loss of his comrades as he shouted at the top of his lungs and charged furiously towards the two goblins, only to suddenly feel the exact same sensation he had experienced just an hour or so ago.

"BANG!"

Hamlet fell to the ground again while he realised the shot had hit his torso this time round. The armour he was wearing had helped reduce the damage the bullet could have dealt but there was still some bleeding.

The Shield Boar Knights rushed towards Hamlet and once again a healer managed to heal and support Hamlet. "What in the bollocks! Where is the remaining Mage Knight? Why can't he find that human archer!" Hamlet knew that the human who had just shot him was the same human that had shot him not so long ago. Hamlet was certain. He was very positive that it was the same dreaded person that had interfered with the taming process of the Great Variant.

"I have found him Sir Hamlet! The trace was too hidden that I had to cast the detection magic again to confirm what I saw. He is right over there hiding on the top of that particular -" Before he could finish his sentence, two chi bullets went through his eyeballs and blood spurted out from the mage boar knight's eye sockets, which sprayed all over Sir Hamlet's face. The mage knight lifelessly dropped to the ground, which caused even the staunchest of knights to cast doubts on whether they could survive…

"Bang!" Another bullet shot was heard but this time around. It skidded through the tip of Hamlet's short tusk, which startled him once again. "Shit!" Hamlet quickly lowered his head. The Shield Boar Knights continued to carry out their duty of protecting their Royal Knight but instead of facing the enemy like a true fearless knight, they all hid behind their shields as they trembled in dread and horror. The morale of the entire boar knight regiment was in shambles.

While Jing Ru was placing the traps where she thought was suitable for a decent ambush in the area filled poison venting trees, Mr Oink was actually lazing around right beside the spear goblin. The goblin knew that everything would be fine since Ren Wei was leading the other two.

Everything was going rather smoothly until Jing Ru felt a sudden blast of heavy spiritual force coursing through the area. The male customers who were watching the highlights were on the edge of the seats as they knew what was coming. The trump card of the Boar Knights.

The Reigning Regal Boar, 'Little' Miss Buu.
