Chapter 94: Rivers of blood part 2

Upon seeing that they were immediately surrounded by the endless tide of goblins, Magenta and Brenda did not panic at all. They issued a swift mental command to their pawns, instantly organizing themselves into a tight, back-to-back, triangle-like defensive formation. They pointed their heavy weapons outward in every direction, keeping their backs fully protected by one another against the horde.

?And at that exact moment the goblins leaders ordered the goblins to charge towards them but the girls did not frantically rush out to make a counterattack Instead, they deactivated their titles, dropping into a disciplined, immovable defensive stance and they took slow, deep breaths, silently recovering their lost stamina from the earlier charge while waiting calmly for their opponents to close the distance. When the roaring goblin tide reached a suitable engagement distance, the girls reactivated their titles all at once, plunging into another brutal and systematic display of slaughter once again.

?The results were exactly the same as before: they pushed outward in three distinct directions without diving too deep into the enemy lines. Magenta and her towering pawns swung their heavy battleaxes wildly cleaving the goblins as they charge at them and although the goblins had momentarily suppressed their inner fears under orders, the previous carnage had left them deeply traumatized psychologically. Seeing their seemingly cornered prey aggressively retaliate and chop them down like withered straw, the charging goblins recoiled backward in sheer terror after only a few brief exchanges.

?After seeing the retreat of the goblins, Magenta and her pawns did not chase the retreating goblins; doing so was completely pointless and risked getting isolated, dragged down, and surrounded. They immediately resumed their previous tight triangle formation, deactivated their titles to halt energy consumption, and waited patiently for the next wave and expected, once the goblin leaders stabilized their troops’ fragile morale with shouts and beatings, another rotated wave charged forward frantically. Magenta and her pawns activated their titles once more, entering the violent fray yet again resuming their slaughter.

?Brenda’s side was no different in execution. They frantically switched between a tight defensive stance to conserve energy and an aggressive offensive assault to shatter the momentum of each charge. As time went on, an imposing mountain of mangled green corpses gradually formed in a tall ring around the two girls due to the continuous, rhythmic slaughter.

?Back at the wall, Velvet and the other girls watched the bloody scene unfold without moving frantically rushing down to save Brenda and Magenta from their perilous, isolated situation. From their high vantage point, they could see at least two thousand enemy goblins were surrounding Brenda and Magenta responsible making a total of four thousand goblins. Even though the pair used clever tactical cycling to conserve stamina, titles naturally consumed a vast amount of stamina, especially form them how have legendary titles them are even drain more faster after each activation so making the prolonged engagements a clear disadvantage and to an outside observer, it appeared as though the enemy commander’s strategy to wear down and exhaust the two line-breakers to death might eventually succeed.

?Velvet genuinely appreciated that the enemy commander was surprisingly capable for devising such a calculated strategy. Brenda and Magenta were meant to act as primary line-breakers while the others maintained the defense of the two players, meaning the girls on the wall could not easily break the enemy formation from the outside without risking the Smith and Sarafina to be put in danger. The enemy commander had clearly observed their combat tactics earlier and devised a solid plan to deal with them.

?However, things were far from that simple, and the girls atop the wall remained completely calm and unbothered. Although Brenda and Magenta seemed to be losing stamina fast under the endless onslaught, Smith had previously obtained a Lifebound artifact from the defeated Calamity Controller—the black snakeman. Which was the stamina pool , This artifact possessed a vast, shared stamina pool that doubled overall stamina amount and regeneration once bound, allowing all the Queens to draw energy seamlessly from a single unified source.

?While it seems that the other girls were simply observing from the wall but they were actively recovering their own stamina and constantly replenishing the pool that Brenda and Magenta were heavily drawing from below. Astra was only shooting basic, arrows without activating her title, making her personal stamina draw negligible. Knowing this hidden dynamic, the girls understood that even if Brenda and Magenta could not wipe out every single goblin with their own hands, the horrific, non-stop rate of casualties—paired with facing enemies who showed absolutely no signs of fatigue or slowing down—would eventually cause the goblins’ fragile morale to collapse entirely.

?to the side of the two girls, As the fight continued relentlessly, the mountain of corpses surrounding them grew taller and broader. After a few more minutes of heavy, rhythmic fighting, Brenda and Magenta had slain hundreds of goblins in their immediate vicinity. The rising piles of severed limbs and bodies created physical obstacles for the charging goblins, slowing down their momentum and granting the girls even more precious room to shift between their resting and attacking phases.

?Dark blood flowed like a river, thoroughly soaking the churned earth. Brenda, Magenta, and their pawns were completely covered in thick gore from head to toe. Their relentless, mechanical hacking and slashing left a terrifying visual impact on the advancing horde. The goblins, witnessing their companions repeatedly getting butchered while these blood-drenched demons remained standing effortlessly on their feet, this struck with them overwhelming, paralyzing fear. Their charges began to visibly falter before even reaching weapon range.

?Although the goblin leaders issued frantic, screeching commands to push forward, a sudden, tense stalemate ensued across the front. The goblins were far too terrified to step forward into the reach of those swinging axes, using this gap Brenda and Magenta refrained from charging out, choosing instead to stand their ground so as catch their breath, and let the shared stamina pool fill their reserve once more.

?After a few moments of this brief, silent standoff, just as the goblins assumed the exhausted girls were trapped and resting, Magenta suddenly charged forward completely alone, leaving her pawns behind in the center. This unexpected, suicidal movement caused immediate, widespread panic throughout the enemy ranks.

?As the goblin leaders frantically shouted and struck their own troops to stabilize the front, Magenta reached the frontline in a flash and unleashed a heavy Stomp. The resulting shockwave utterly shattered the goblins’ footings, causing their tight formation to buckle and collapse inward. She when swung her massive battleaxe relentlessly, diving straight like an armored battering ram toward a panicked Hobgoblin leader who was frantically ordering others to shield him.

?but It was already far too late. Within a few massive steps, the terrified goblins parted ways to let Magenta pass, eager to escape her path of destruction. The Hobgoblin watched in absolute horror as her massive, blood-stained battleaxe swung down toward him. He frantically activated a physical enhancement and tried to block the terrifying blow with his spear, but how could the fragile shaft hope to stop a metal weapon larger than his entire torso. The axe cleaved him clean in half from crown to groin.

?And with their local leader dead, Magenta went into a roaring frenzy, slaughtering every goblin in sight and plunging the entire formation into absolute chaos. On her side of the field, Brenda seized a similar opportunity, leaping over the pile of bodies to decapitate the local commander on her flank, sending her section of the enemy into total disarray.

?Seeing the chaotic opening they created, both girls ordered their pawns to step in and systematically sort through the surviving goblins, destabilizing the horde’s remaining structure even further.

?Noticing the entire enemy line wavering and buckling from the wall, Velvet smiled faintly. "Why don’t we give them a little push to speed things up?"

?Without a second of hesitation, the remaining girls leaped directly off the high wall, completely bypassing the wooden gate, and charged toward the unstable formations. When the surrounding goblins saw six more demons—all on par with the two monsters currently butchering them—rushing into the battle, their formation broke out into a complete, uncontrollable stampede.

?Trapped within the initial encirclement, Brenda and Magenta regrouped with their pawns and assumed a firm defensive stance once more. The panicking goblins trampled savagely over each other in a desperate bid to flee toward the safety of the distant forest. Any goblin that accidentally bumped into the girls’ immediate vicinity was instantly cut down, forcing the rest of the chaotic green wave to frantically steer clear of them.

?Within moments, the entire battlefield fell dead silent, littered with hundreds of corpses and thoroughly soaked in blood. The other girls walked through the destruction and united with Brenda and Magenta. Just as Magenta was about to open her mouth and boast proudly about her kill count, another loud, low horn echoed from deep within the dense forest.
