"Ugh!" Mr. Laine had just pushed away the Kobold army that swarmed him, but more Kobolds immediately crowded around him. They were completely unconcerned with their losses, many Kobolds directly pouncing on Laine, biting and scratching.
These Kobolds' claws and teeth were certainly not enough to harm Laine, but it made it nearly impossible for him to act. He had to swing his Warhammer horizontally, once again sending a large group of Kobolds flying, and then the Warhammer, flickering with flames, slashed fiercely through the air, "Retreat! Don't fight these Kobolds in open spaces!"
Underground, he didn't dare to use overly strong combat skills. Techniques like Thunder Strike, which release energy by smashing the ground, could accidentally cause the mine tunnels to collapse, burying them alive inside.
