"Ah!"

  A series of screams echoed.

  Several Pigmen were struck by bolts.

  The bolts embedded themselves into their plump bodies.

  Though they peed deeply, they didn't inflict fatal damage on the Pigmen.

  Their yers of fat effectively protected their fragile ans.

  The pain only made the Pigmen more furious.

  With bloodshot eyes, they charged at the Goblins.

  "Ha ha ha, die!"

  Gobu Di, with his massive frame, was like a heavy tank.

  The moment he saw the Pigmen, he unched into a charge.

  His running body was like a mountain of flesh bearing down on the Pigmen.

  Two Pigmen fearlessly rushed to meet him head-on.

  Gobu Di grinned menagly and swung his spiked club down on one of the Pigmen.

  "Stand back, let me hahis!"

  At that moment, a powerful sh out.

  A strman dashed past the two Pigmen.

  He charged forward, swinging his rge machete to intercept the desding spiked club.

  "g!"

  A pierg metallic csh resouhrough the forest.

  The spiked club and the rge machete collided.

  Sparks flew as both batants took two steps back.

  The impact from the spiked club made Gobu Di's hand tremble.

  Pig Iine fared er.

  His right hand, holding the rge machete, was shaking.

  "Again!"

  Gobu Di grinned fiercely.

  He charged forward once more, swinging his spiked club.

  Pig Iine was not to be outdone, charging to meet him.

  The two tio csh their ons together.

  Owice, three times!

  The speed of their on swings increased.

  They stantly shifted their footing, ging their positions.

  Each sought a fw iher's attack.

  Their ons swung faster and faster.

  A gust of wind seemed to form around them.

  Anyone nearby could feel the force.

  As the leaders cshed fiercely, the Goblins and Pigmen were also locked in battle.

  The dim forest was filled with noise.

  The Goblins' "wah wah" cries mingled with the Pigmen's roars.

  The Pigmen warriors were irong.

  Even with the Goblins' powerful crossbows, they couldn't gain an overwhelming advantage.

  Despite outnumbering the Pigmen several times over, they couldn't quickly end the fight.

  In the dim forest, a bloody battle raged on.

  Each Pigman faced the onsught of several Goblins.

  They had to be wary of the occasional whistling bolt.

  Many Pigmen were pierced by the Goblins' long spears, their flesh torhey did not fall.

  Their rge machetes were stained with Goblin blood.

  Any Goblin struck by a Pigman's machete was almost certainly killed instantly.

  But as moblins arrived from all dires to support the fight, the Pigmen gradually fell into a disadvantage.

  "Damned green-skirash, get out of my way!"

  On the chaotic battlefield, a Pigman roared in anger.

  It suddenly stepped forward, sshing a Goblin across the shoulder.

  "Ah!"

  A Goblin screamed.

  Most of its body was torn apart.

  It fell to the ground, dead.

  The death of their rade did nhten the surrounding Goblins.

  They charged forward, shouting.

  Their long spears thrust forcefully into the Pigman's body.

  The spearheads embedded almost halfway in.

  The Pigma out a scream, stumbled, and fell heavily to the ground, uo rise again.

  Looking at its body, bloodied holes were scattered all over.

  "g!"

  At that moment, a pierg metallic csh rang out.

  The leaders locked in battle had reached a clusion.

  A rge machete flew through the air.

  It flew over teers before embedding with a "thud" into a tree.

  "Die!"

  Gobu Di shouted excitedly.

  He swung his spiked club down on Pig Iine's head.

  If it hit, Pig Iine's skull would surely be crushed.

  "Elder!"

  At that moment, a Pigman suddenly rushed over.

  It leaped, knog Pig Iine aside.

  It took the blow from the spiked club with its own body.

  "Thud!"

  The massive spiked club smashed heavily into the Pigman's head.

  The Pigman's head burst like a shattered watermelon.

  Blood and flesh spttered everywhere.

  The shattered head, along with the body, was smmed into the ground by the spiked club.

  "Damn Goblin!"

  The sight made Pig Iine's eyes widen in rage.

  "Elder, retreat, retreat!"

  Two Pigmen rushed forward, dragging Pig Iine forcibly toward the depths of the forest.

  "Retreat, retreat!"

  Relutly, Pig Iine gave the order to withdraw.

  He blew the whistle hanging around his neck.

  "Beep beep!"

  The sharp whistle suddenly echoed through the forest.

  Hearing the whistle, the Pigmen snapped out of their battle frenzy.

  They abaheir oppos and, covered in blood, rushed toward the depths of the forest.

  "Wah wah!"

  The fleeing Pigmen elicited excited shouts from the Goblins.

  They eagerly pursued them.

  But before long, the Pigmen vanished without a trace.

  Although the Goblins could smell the lingering st of the Pigmen, they khe Pigmen's tribe was not far away.

  Pursuing further would only draw more Pigmen to them.

  "Boss, boss, they've run off!"

  As the Pigmereated, the dim forest fell silent.

  Gobu Di gnawed tentedly on a pig's head.

  A rge piece of chewy skin was torn off.

  Seeing their boss eat with such relish, the Goblins' throats moved.

  "Let them run, up the battlefield, eat and drink as you please!"

  The surrounding Goblins' eyes lit up.

  They shouted excitedly and pounced on the corpses strewn about.

  The Gobliurning from the chase saw their rades already feasting.

  They cursed and joihe eating frenzy.

  For a moment, the dim forest was filled with eerie wailing and chewing sounds.

  ---

  Pigmen Tribe.

  Iernoon, ihe rgest wooden house.

  "I 't stand it, damn Goblins, I want to tear them apart and make soup!"

  A frenzied roar echoed ihe wooden house.

  Pig Daqiang, sitting at the head, gred at Pig Dazhi, panting heavily.

  "Those disgusting Goblins have reached our doorstep, Pig Dazhi, do you still wao wait and do nothing?"

  Pig Daqiang gred angrily, his fists ched.

  He had made up his mind.

  If Pig Dazhi dared to spout nonsense again, he would use his fists to show Pig Dazhi who the real chieftain was.

  Fag the chieftain's angry gaze, Pig Dazhi grinned.

  "Then we won't wait, let's clear out the Goblins in the surrounding forest first!"

  Seeing Pig Dazhi agree so easily, Pig Daqiang was momentarily stunned.

  Pig Dazhi's easy agreeme Pig Daqiang a bit unaced.

  "Chieftain, we fight, but we mustn't veoo deep into the forest. Our forces are limited, and we 't rashly advance westward!"

  Pig Daqiang rubbed his bald head.

  He looked at Pig Dazhi with some fusion.

  "Sage, what are you afraid of?"
