Chapter 295: Exploring the break zone (4)
The kobolds that came out were already covered in burns since they had to run in between the flaming gates.
When they saw the wall of flames appear in front of them, they couldn't help hesitating since they had been traumatized by flames at this point.
However, they also recognized that there was nothing that they could do in this situation.
Other than facing this flame wall in front of them, they could face the burning camp and horde of other kobolds behind them or face the traps that were all around them.
Compared to these other choices, the flame wall at least gave them a chance to survive.
If they push themselves, they should be able to run through this flame wall without getting too injured.
So the kobolds only hesitated for a bit before suddenly charging at the flame wall.
At this point, there were more kobolds that had pushed through the gates and were gathering with the ones that came out first.
It was a decent sized group that pushed up to the flame wall.
It was just too bad that many of them didn't get a chance to reach that flame wall in the end.
It was an arrow at first that hit one of the kobold's right in the neck.
That kobold that was hit wasn't able to resist at all as it was picked up off the ground and thrown into one of the trap pits to the side.
Then it was another kobold that was cut in half by a blade of wind, with the upper half falling onto the kobold that was behind this one.
There were more and more attacks that rained down on the kobold that had no cover at all.
That was the problem with having these traps.
They had to keep the area open so that the traps didn't stand out, so there was no cover for them.
These traps had become traps that kept them in this place.
These traps became traps that trapped them in this place.
This was not what they were designed for, but this was what they were being used for.
Since they marched on the path and had no cover, they were easy pickings for those that were hiding in the forest.
In no time at all, the kobold group lost 4/5ths of their numbers. There were only a few kobolds that were able to reach the flame wall in the end.
But they were not looking good.
Still, they knew that this was the only way that they would be able to escape this place, so they had no choice but to jump through the flame wall.
Bracing themselves, the kobolds jumped in a group to minimize the area that the flames could make contact with. But right before they could jump, there was a flame sword that suddenly came out of the flame wall.
This flame sword wasn't that strong, but it was more than enough to pierce through the skin of the kobolds.
This flame sword completely stopped the ones that were coming at the wall, pushing them back from it.
It killed one of the kobolds, but the rest of them were still fine.
The kobolds looked at the flame wall with cautious looks when they landed, but they didn't have time to do anything as more flame swords came out.
These flame swords were the same as the flame sword that killed the first kobold.
The kobolds knew that they couldn't move forward under this wave of flame swords, so they raised their weapons to block it.
But their weapons couldn't do a single thing to these flame swords that just melted all of their weapons before cutting into them.
Under this wave of flame swords, the kobolds were all killed.
But in this situation, there were always more kobolds that filled the space of the ones that died.
The ones that died were pushed out of the way by the kobolds that came from behind, being pushed into the traps on the side.
However, that didn't mean that they were safe yet as more flame swords came through the flame wall.
They were completely trapped in this space, there was no escape for them at all.
It really seemed like the kobolds would be grinded down in this meat grinder in front of the flame wall at this rate.
But before that could happen…
"Boom!"
There was a loud sound that came from the gates to the camp.
There was a mixture of flames and wood that flew out from the gate as something suddenly shattered the gate from inside.
Right after the gate was shattered, this figure that was larger than the other kobolds came out to reveal itself.
It was just like the other kobolds, but it was much bigger than them.
This was the special higher ranked kobold.
This was a Kobold General.
It was holding a large warhammer in its hands which it had used to smash the gate just now.
After smashing the gate open, the Kobold General's attention immediately fell onto the wall of flames that was blocking their path to freedom.
Without a single care for the kobolds that were in its way, the Kobold General started pushing right for the wall of flames. The ones that couldn't dodge in time because they were injured were squashed under the foot of this Kobold General that was more than twice their size.
The Kobold General rushed right at the flame wall and brought its warhammer down as if it wanted to smash the flame wall away.
But before it could, the flame wall suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The Kobold General couldn't help freezing in shock and confusion when it saw the flame wall disappear like this.
However, before any of the kobolds could react, there was a chill that came over them.
When they finally reacted, they found that all of them had been encased in a layer of ice.
Even the Kobold General was frozen.
