Sam started battling the hobgoblins as they came.
Not everyone is a prodigy and not everyone is as skilled as the opponents, Sam faced in his one-year journey. Maybe in all of the Hob Goblin tribe, including the new members that joined by the forceful merger, a dozen guys might put up some fight. As for the rest, they would at most be fodder, and particularly, when Sam only needs one slash and he has high mobility with his hoverboard, things are easy.
Even the archers that are shooting at him from afar couldn't do anything.
Sam couldn't help but be disappointed at the quality of the opponents as the time went through.
The tribe chief looked at the scene and gritted his teeth before giving out an order.
"Send a Transcendent stage cultivator to kill that guy."
"Sir, but.."
"No buts, we need to get rid of this disaster at any cost. Who cares about honor and pride at a moment like this, look at that guy. He would destroy our whole younger generation at this rate."
And just like that an Astral Plane Transcendent stage cultivator was deployed.
Sam didn't know any of this, he is just slaying everyone that came towards him in a single slash. Even though he didn't execute them with the intention of being flashy, his moves are indeed so as they were enhanced by the sight of blood and the falling hobgoblins.

This is the first proper battle he was in after the length restriction, even the battle with the Night Demon family was mostly handled by the rest and Sam only stayed there for support.
Now that he has no restrictions, he went crazy.
Sam just stabbed both of the swords into the hobgoblin that jumped at him. The body is hanging at Sam which he threw at another opponent, but he used void style on the body which made it explode as soon as it hit the opponent which created the bloody mist in the air.
Sam turned around to fight another opponent, but all of a sudden he sensed a threat and was about to turn around.
With the cover of the bloody mist, someone actually jumped towards Sam and tried to stab him.
Sam moved the harbinger, he wouldn't hit his vitals no matter what. But he would definitely take some damage. As he cursed himself for being careless, he sensed something else and his nervous face turned to smirk.
An arrow covered in Indigo lightning came from afar and hit the transcendent that was coming towards him.
The arrow zapped the guy and he lost all his momentum, Sam used the chance to slash as many times as he can. He even followed the guy's descent with the harbinger as he slashed him to make sure he died.
When the hobgoblins saw Sam's descent, they were excited as this is the perfect time to get rid of Sam off of the harbinger and they made a group attack.
But Sam kept an eye on them from the start and moved upwards and rapidly changed his direction.
The Hob Goblins looked at the small liquid cylinder that is glowing on the body of the transcendent, but it was too late.
*BOOM*
An explosion and occurred and this time, Sam used the spatial element, a large spatial crack appeared creating a vacuum. When the little guy saw this situation, Sam could sense his feelings. He is in awe at the destruction this is bringing.
Sam shook his head and this time, he forcefully threw the little guy back into the divine dimension. Now Yanwu and the rest are going to have a handful. For some weird reason, this guy always tries to imitate Sam and this time, he is going to do those spatial slashes all over the divine dimension.
Sam looked at Vidyut who is jumping over the rooftops while he moved towards different teammates and supported them. Paras is also moving along with them.
Sam called through the communication device and said.
"Thank you."
With that, Sam continued forward without delaying much.
The Hob Goblins might be elite at defending with their numbers, but that only applies for well-structured armies.
Now all the measures that are taken to defend against an army are biting them in the back and this battle is completely about the quantity rather than the quality, it only became easier as time passed.
Night Ghost is directly walking towards the main mansion without any hindrances while the rest of the team are fighting against the Astral Plane transcendent level cultivators.
Even though some of them are at the peak stage of the Astral Plane Pre-transcendence, they can still fight against one initial stage transcendent cultivator. Saber Monarch, Vidyuth, and Paras are having a relatively easier time with even the transcendent stage cultivators, so they are helping the teammates.
All in all it is well balanced and the low-level soldiers at Astral Plane initiation can only do one thing to help the Hob Goblins and that is to not get in the way.
As for the formations which are the forte of the Hobgoblins, they were being dealt with the liquid cells.
If the team members are coming across some formations that they cannot handle, all they have to do is, throw a single liquid cell at them and be done with it.
Even the small necromancer ring was being dealt with like that.
The tribe chief looked at the city that has been turned into ruins and felt exasperated. Every decision he made and every order he gave was being backfired. The only proper decision he might have made until now is to hide the citizens in the fifteen minutes that Sam gave in the beginning.
The citizens are in the bunkers of the main mansion.
So, no matter what level of destruction they caused, they would at least be safe for now.
The tribe chief looked at the whole scenario and started thinking. He wants to see if there is any way they could win, but everything is hitting a dead end. Even though the lower-level soldiers were spared, Sam is rooting out the next immediate generations and the only people that are left and have any chance of winning are the twelve elites that are about to join in on the battle. Apart from that, the transcendent stage cultivators they lost are also high in number.
Particularly, that guy Vidyut is completely insane. He took out the most people with his archery.
He gritted his teeth and picked up his bow and started shooting.
His main target is obviously Sam.
Sam, who sensed the danger, immediately negated the thrust on the harbinger to descend as fast as he can.
And even then, he barely managed to dodge the attack which killed one of the elites of the HobGoblins.
Sam was stunned and he could feel his heart racing. He would have definitely died if the arrow hit him.
He looked at the Tribe chief who is aiming another arrow at Sam.
Sam activated wind elemental fusion as he moved and channeled the spatial energy along with it. The technique he used when he was racing gran. The dual fusion method.
He moved on the harbinger as he first enveloped it with wind elemental energy and then with spatial elemental energy.
He flashed around with the board as he used the spatial blink to dodge the arrows and every time he blinked he appeared near the group of hobgoblins and used them as meat shields just in case and if an immediate arrow didn't come, he just slit some throats as they tried to escape and dodged the next arrow that came towards him.
"Guys, the big dog is chasing after me. Night Ghost, you need to speed up."
"I want to boss, but I have two big dogs with me and they are better than the first two dogs. It would take at least four minutes for me to deal with them."
"I don't know if I can hold for four minutes. It is hard to activate dual fusion and use it repeatedly, I barely learned to use the technique to not receive much backlash.
Vidyut, can you do anything?"
"Boss, I can try to intercept the arrows, but our power difference might offer some trouble. He is shooting with quite a bit of his energy, if I match that, I wouldn't be able to hold for long. Night Ghost would still have to speed up."
s
"Then use the new arrows I gave you. And don't intercept the arrows, attack his position."
"Boss, the chaos it would cause is too much."
"Don't fret, just use it. If you don't use it now, I might need to take some extreme measures and half of the city would disappear without a trace. Chaos would be a better option."
While they are discussing and dodging, Vidyut suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh No. Boss, we are in trouble. It seems like the extreme measures are the only way to go."
