Another twenty-odd minutes passed in the Divine Realm Middle Realm.
Zhang Yi was now certain: the black portal was continuously teleporting a goblin army.
This is getting really annoying!
After the first error in conducting, the goblins that followed did not actively attack. Instead, under the opposing goblin chieftain's orders, all the newly appearing goblins were steadily gathering together.
Watching the scene unfold, the Wood Elf General, Feiyana, furrowed her brow. She clearly didn't know how to proceed. If they charged head-on, the goblins, who were waiting patiently, would clearly have the upper hand. But if she let them be, the goblin army would eventually swell to a size that could tear all the Wood Elves to shreds!
Fortunately, a new Oracle arrived at that very moment.
"Engage and withdraw. Use the forest terrain to wage a guerrilla war against the goblins. Stall for time."
"In another hour and a half, the Evil God behind the goblin army will be expelled by Me!"
Observing the scene, Zhang Yi immediately spent several dozen Faith Value points to deliver his command as an Oracle to the Wood Elf General below.
Upon receiving the Oracle from Zhang Yi, Elf General Feiyana visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The great Elf God has just issued another Oracle! When the goblin army charges, the Archers will fire one last volley. Then, break into groups of three, disperse into the forest, and hinder the goblin army's advance! We just need to hold out for an hour and a half and prevent the goblin army from discovering our tribe!"
Hearing the words of Wood Elf General Feiyana, the faces of the other Wood Elves beside her softened in relief. After all, they had watched the opposing goblin army swell from equal numbers to five times their own. The psychological pressure was immense. If their home wasn't at their backs, they would have buckled long ago. But now they had an Oracle. All they had to do was follow the Oracle's conducting!
The goblins on the other side were unaware of the Wood Elves' preparations, nor did they know that Zhang Yi had issued another Oracle. The goblin chieftain only knew that the army at his back was growing ever larger.
"The great Maglubiyet is watching us! Kill all the male Elves, plunder the female Elves to take home, and Maglubiyet will grant us even greater Power!"
As he spoke, the goblin chieftain, who had yet to use his Wooden Staff, brandished it. A thin, crimson haze spread out, connecting all the goblins.
"Blood Boiling Technique!"
As a lesser substitute for the Frenzy Technique, the Blood Boiling Technique was a weaker spell with a shorter duration. But for this massive goblin army, as long as the effect lasted for fifteen minutes, they could shatter the Wood Elves' defensive line.
With bizarre howls of "HOOHOOHOO!", the goblin army lost all patience for a standoff and charged toward the Wood Elves at the eastern edge of the forest. A goblin force five times the number of the Wood Elves, boosted by the temporary effect of the Blood Boiling Technique, surged forward like a massive tide.
Meanwhile, under the conducting of Elf General Feiyana, the Wood Elves on the eastern edge of the Dawn Forest unleashed an overwhelming volley of arrows before retreating into the forest in groups of three.
After finally weathering the volley of arrows with nearly a hundred casualties, the charging goblins discovered that the Wood Elves who had been at the forest's edge had all vanished into the woods. Not a single Elf remained in sight. Under the influence of the Blood Boiling Technique, the goblins, whose brains were only thumb-sized to begin with, completely lost their minds and plunged into the forest, following the tracks the Wood Elves had left behind. Little did they know, the tracks left by the retreating Wood Elves were the first trap.
Inside the Dawn Forest, the Wood Elves were like fish in water. The tall, dense trees immediately broke up the goblin army's formation. Wood Elves hidden in the treetops and canopies took aim at stragglers and goblins at the army's fringe, loosing merciless arrows. The battle in the forest quickly intensified. Feiyana's tactics were working perfectly. The agile figures of the Wood Elves darted through the canopies, their arrows accurately felling one goblin after another.
Seeing this, the goblin chieftain roared, "Fools! Don't get separated! Stick with me!"
But his command was all but useless in the chaos. Even though the Magic of the Blood Boiling Technique had already dissipated, the goblin Warriors had lost all reason, caring only about charging forward and falling right into the Wood Elves' traps. Whenever a squad of goblins chased a group of Wood Elves deep into the forest, another group of Elves would fire deadly arrows from the flank.
An hour passed, and the goblins' numerical advantage had been greatly diminished.
"Not bad, not bad at all!"
Watching from outside the Divine Realm, homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing and the proctor at his side, Baihua Bridge, couldn't help but cheer upon seeing how the Clan within Zhang Yi's Divine Realm dealt with the goblin army.
"To mount such a response with just over two hundred Wood Elves is already very impressive!"
"Facing such a massive goblin army and annihilating nearly twice their own number, if he had a larger Clan, he'd be one of the top students even in the honors class!"
Seeing his student perform so exceptionally in the placement test, homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing couldn't help but humblebrag.
"Impressive indeed!" the proctor Baihua Bridge agreed, looking at the Clan in Zhang Yi's Divine Realm. "It's a pity these goblins didn't use fire. If they had set the forest ablaze, these Wood Elves would never have achieved such results!"
The proctor Baihua Bridge sighed, looking at the goblins' foolishness.
"No, no, no, look closely!" Guo Aiqing said. "Throughout this forest, there are frequent circular clearings. If they really did set it on fire, these would act as natural firebreaks!"
Guo Aiqing's words immediately made the proctor see the reality of the situation.
"In that case, this student's preparations are truly thorough. Getting into the honors class will be no problem at all!"
Hearing the proctor's words, Homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing smiled without saying anything.
"I have other students in my class who are also doing well, like Sima Yuan, Hong Tianyi…"
In the guerrilla war the Wood Elves waged in the forest, the goblin army was divided and conquered. By the time the goblin chieftain realized what was happening, a third of his army was already dead. At this point, even if the goblin chieftain came to his senses and wanted to set the forest on fire, it was too late!
「When the three hours of the placement test were up,」
All the living goblins that had appeared in Zhang Yi's Divine Realm instantly vanished. The black portal to the east of the Dawn Forest in Zhang Yi's Divine Realm also disappeared, leaving only the corpses of dead goblins littering the ground.
After the great battle, the number of dead Wood Elves in Zhang Yi's Divine Realm had not even reached double digits, and one of them had only died from the sheer bad luck of being hit by a stray arrow.
