The Extra's Survival

Some of the nervous students turned around, looking for Lucas to ask him whether it was a wise decision to fight the monsters here instead of retreating.

Lucas nodded and spoke ”The monsters that are coming towards us are much stronger than before. If we turned our back now and started to escape, they will catch us in no time. While fleeing our formation will be in disarray, it will be easier for them to take us down. So instead of sacrificing our lives worthless, it ’s better to face now than fall back. ”

Lucas answered confidently to comfort his nervous classmates.

The remaining students here were already started to see Lucas and Fredrick as thier leaders.

Even if they were given a chance to puff thier pride and try to show off thier leadership skill, they didn ’t want to take this responsibility as they knew they may not able to handle the situation like Fredrick and Lucas.

It was quite ironic that these noble children who fight till the death for the sake of pride and ego were willing to put thier head down and listen to someone of lower status than them when their life is actually in danger.

While everyone was admiring Lucas, he was immersed in his thoughts.

If his strategy was successful, they would at least have a chance to take down many in one go and even if they fail they will have a chance to retreat.

The goblins were not ordinary. Along with thier high mana, their skin was quite tough compared to the one Lucas had met in the dungeons.

It may be due to the evolution of thier race or may be due to the goblins adapting themselves to the outside world.

Whatever may be the reason, they have to take them down and protect thier lives.

A loud shout snapped Lucas out of his thoughts.

Lucas looked ahead to see Fredrick coming back followed by many goblins trying to catch him.

Lucas and Fredrick have selected this narrow mud pathway near the west of the village.

This part was the outer perimeter of the village followed by brick houses at the back, in case of danger they have broken some walls which they will use to escape and close them using the earth magic after escaping.

Fredrick was slightly away from the place and was tasked to lead the goblins here into the strike zone where traps are led.
