As soon as this roar rang out through these flat fields, everything froze.
This roar shook everything that was here to their core and it was as if there was something that came from the depths of their soul that froze them.
Even Cecilia wasn't an exception to this.
As every human and monster froze, they all turned to look in the direction of that roar.
They found that there was now a giant armoured goblin who was standing where this roar came from.
As soon as she saw this giant goblin, Cecilia knew…that this was trouble.
But at the same time, she realized who it was that had been guiding this monster wave the entire time.
It was this giant goblin!
That was because she recognized what this giant goblin was.
As the head knight, she had done her study into what kind of monsters were out there and this one…this giant goblin was on the list of monsters that was recommended by all to run from.
This giant goblin was a monster that could be called a disaster and if one was found in any town, they would be destroyed.
If it was the previous her who hadn't received the "special armour" from Zwein, then she too wouldn't have stood a chance against this giant goblin.
This giant goblin was the A Ranked Monster, Goblin General.
Cecilia gritted her teeth when she saw this, but she then quickly turned to take care of the few monsters that were still around her. While they were dazed, it was the perfect time for her to take them down.
After all, if she didn't take them down, it would be impossible for her to focus on the Goblin General.
It took her no time at all to cut down these monsters that were stunned by the Goblin General's roar.
Once they were all taken care of, she turned her attention to the Goblin General that had made its way to the front of the monster wave. She found that the Goblin General was looking at her just as she was looking at him.
It was clear that the Goblin General knew that it was meaningless to send more lackeys at her, so it decided to personally come out and take care of her. But that also showed just how confident the Goblin General was in its own strength.
When she faced this Goblin General, Cecilia knew that she was completely outclassed.
She could instantly tell from the instincts that she had formed over years of fighting experience that in every way, the Goblin General was her superior. Unless something very unexpected happened, it was impossible for her to defeat this Goblin General.
But even when faced with the despair of this reality, she didn't back down.
She just sat there on her horse, looking right at the Goblin General.
As she sat there looking at the Goblin General, she took a deep breath and gathered herself. At the same time, she started thinking about all the things that she had to protect now.
She might not have had these things in the past, but it was different now…
In fact, if this was the past, she might have just tried to escape with Rose alone…
After calming herself, Cecilia patted her horse on the back of the head and said, "Scarlet, I'm sorry, but we'll do our best."
She knew that it would be certain death for the two of them, but she didn't have a choice but to head into battle with the horse.
After all, she knew that it was impossible for her to stand a chance without the speed and maneuverability of her horse. The moment that she took a single hit from the Goblin General, she would be dead.
So with one last pat on the head, she charged forward on her horse.
But of course, she didn't charge right at the Goblin General.
Instead, she swerved at the last second so that she would go around the Goblin General instead of hitting it head on. The Goblin General swung right down at where Cecilia would have been and created a large hole in the ground.
This was a hole that was more than three meters wide and three meters deep, more than enough to show just how much force there was in the sword that it had swung down. Not to mention that this was a sword, so it wasn't even the sword that hit the ground, but rather just the pressure of the wind that it swung down with that created this hole.
Cecilia's brows knitted even more when she saw this, but she didn't allow her to stop for a single second.
She went around to the back of the Goblin General and swung quickly with her sword.
She knew that her advantage would be quick strikes that the Goblin General couldn't guard against, but she found…
That her sword didn't even make a dent in the Goblin General's skin.
She had accurately cut in the gap in the Goblin General's armour and had cut the skin, but it didn't do a single thing.
It was even harder than some of the iron armour that she had cut through before.
Cecilia once again created distance as she narrowed her eyes to look at the Goblin General.
She knew that it was impossible for her to hurt it unless she used her full power, but she needed a bigger opening for that.
So she decided to risk it all.
She dashed right at the Goblin General and decided to clash head on with it.
The Goblin General decided to fulfil her request and swung down at her, but at the very last second, Cecilia dodged out of the way.
This was the large opening that she was looking for.
She used that gap to swing her sword down with all of her strength as the Goblin General's neck.
It hit the Goblin General right in the neck with the full force of gravity, but…
It didn't make a single scratch!
