Cecilia was caught off guard by this and couldn't help being stunned for a second.
Just that single second of being stunned was more than enough for the Goblin General to recover and get an advantage against her. While she was just standing there, the Goblin General brought its sword back and quickly slashed out at her.
Cecilia quickly reacted when she felt this and wanted to dodge, but she saw that the Goblin General's swing was much faster than she had anticipated…
She realized at that moment that just as she had baited the Goblin General, the Goblin General had baited her. It had used less strength in that swing just now so that she would be pulled into a range where she couldn't dodge.
Then it would take care of her with one good swing of its sword.
Seeing the sword coming closer and closer, Cecilia realized that it was too late for her to do anything.
The only thing that she felt was regret over being too confident.
Even if she had become stronger because of the "special armour" that Zwein gave her, it wasn't as if she had become the strongest person in the world.
At this final moment, she accepted her regret and her death.
But if there was another chance, she would hope that she would be able to meet them again.
Fortunately for her, it wasn't her final moment.
As the sword was about to cleave her in half, she suddenly twisted and moved out of the way of the sword slash.
Cecilia didn't understand how it happened until she realized that it was her horse that had saved her. In the end, her choice to go at the Goblin General with her horse was the right one.
Though…it couldn't be considered the right choice for her horse.
Even though the sword didn't cleave her in half, the force of the wind that was generated by the sword swing still caught her.
This was wind that was strong enough to create a three meter wide and three meter deep hole in the ground, so it was like getting hit with a wall of bricks. This was the case for both Cecilia and her horse.
Both of them had the wind knocked out of them as they were sent flying by the wind.
Cecilia was able to land without suffering many injuries, only getting a few bruises from being slammed by the wall of wind and being thrown onto the ground.
But it wasn't the same for the horse.
The horse had taken the brunt of the blow and had been sent flying even further than Cecilia. Even though she had been strapped to it, she was thrown off while they had been spinning in midair, so the horse landed much further away.
At the same time, since it had spun more from being hit with the brunt of the blow, it landed much harder than Cecilia had.
The horse landed right on its leg and that leg snapped cleanly.
It was even so bad that the bone was peeking out of the leg.
After recovering, Cecilia's first thought was of her horse. Not just because she knew that she wouldn't be able to escape the Goblin General without it, but she was worried since it had taken the brunt of the blow for her.
Seeing the broken leg that it had, she knew that she was in the worst case scenario.
There was no way for her to escape and at the same time, she didn't want to escape.
She at least wanted to protect her horse who had even tried to save her at the expense of her own life.
Even though the horse had saved her life, she was still about to give up that life to protect the horse. Though, whether she would be able to do that was a big question mark.
The Goblin General saw Cecilia who was struggling to stand up and it revealed what seemed to be a smile. At the same time, there was a lewd meaning to that smile as it looked at her curves.
This was an H-game world, so of course the setting was that goblins, orcs, and other monsters captured girls and violated them. This Goblin General would naturally be the same, especially in front of a beautiful blonde knight captain like Cecilia.
So instead of choosing to finish her off with the large sword that it wielded, it chose to do it another way. It stabbed its sword into the ground beside it and then came over with hands that were making a lewd gesture.
It was as if the Goblin General was planning on having some fun before capturing Cecilia.
Cecilia could naturally also see the gestures that the Goblin General was making and she couldn't help feeling a chill run down her spine. Her pride would never allow her body to be violated by a monster like this, so she even had thoughts about killing herself before it could reach her.
But her hands holding her sword stopped when she remembered who she was fighting for.
As these thoughts passed through her mind, she revealed a determined look again.
Even if she was going to die, she would at least die in battle.
Even if she couldn't kill the Goblin General, she would do what she could to at least injure it.
After all, while she couldn't cut through the hide of the Goblin General, she would at least be able to stab out an eye or cut through its mouth. It wasn't as if this rock hard hide covered every single part of its body.
The Goblin General slowly made its way over, looking like it had clearly won this fight.
Cecilia's men had tried to rescue their captain, but the monsters had come out to block them. Without Cecilia, they were completely overwhelmed by the monsters and couldn't approach her at all.
The Goblin General came all the up to Cecilia and stood over her with its hand raised.
With its two meter tall frame, it completely overshadowed Cecilia who was only 1.7 meters tall.
Cecilia took a deep breath when she saw this Goblin General standing right in front of her before suddenly giving a roar. With all of her might, she took a step forward and burst out towards the Goblin General.
Her sword stabbed out accurately right at the eyes of the Goblin General.
It was just too bad for her that the Goblin General moved even faster and was already moving its hand over to grab her sword.
It had no fear using its hand to grab her sword since it knew that she couldn't cut it.
As it was grabbing at the sword, the Goblin General's swept over Cecilia's body in a lewd manner, as if it was already imagining all the things that it would do with her. It was as if it could already see its victory.
But that wasn't strange since Cecilia was outclassed by this Goblin General.
However, before any of that could happen, there was a whistling sound that cut through the air…
Then there was a sudden explosion that came from in front of Cecilia, completely engulfing the Goblin General.
