If the Goblins let them retreat safely to Silver Moon Town, it would turn into a protracted siege, a stalemate lasting for at least half a month.
Although many people in Silver Moon Town would die in the fighting or starve to death, this wasn't what the Goblins wanted.
They invaded human territory not just to compete for living space, but more importantly, to plunder resources and women.
Therefore, even if they conquered the town after a long stalemate, there would be little point.
By then, the town's resources would be depleted, and their most important 'birthing vessels' would have been severely diminished...
Not to mention the possibility that Silver Stream City might free up its forces to send reinforcements.
Sure enough, the battlefield ahead soon underwent a sudden change.
A large, elite force composed of massed Mutated Goblins appeared, with a contingent on both the left and right flanks.
'Are they trying to break our formation like this?'
