Chapter 248.1 \nAccording to Paleâs plan, the War Princess was likely to go for the Goblin King and Gi Gu Verbenaâs Axe and Sword Army (Felduk) .
She may be the War Princess, but even she couldnât be in two places at the same time .
There was nothing she could do in places she couldnât reach .
Hence, this was the perfect opportunity to take back the initiative that has been kept from them all this time .
What stood in the way of Aransain and Zailduk, who advanced in speeds unknown to human armies, was a human army .
From a distance, it could be seen that they had 1,000 footmen and 500 horsemen in their ranks .
To Gi Ga Raxâs eyes, they seemed greatly troubled and did not have any of that sharp spirit . As he eyed the enemy, he took the reins into his mouth, drew his spear with one arm, and cut down a dragonfly .
When Hal of Paradua, Mido of the Fang, and Tianos of the Centaurs saw that, they shifted their formation to become an even shaper wedge shape with Gi Ga as the arrow head .
Gi Ga released the reins from his mouth, and then as he supported his body up with only his legs, raised up his spear and charged into the enemy army .
Hal cried out to the rare-class goblins following behind . At that, howls bellowed out in response one after another, and the entire army followed after the quiet Gi Ga .
The speed of the goblinâs fastest, Aransain, must have been unexpected for them . They hurriedly tried to change their formation, but Gi Ga already led Aransainâs fangs into their flanks, and in the blink of an eye, they were torn through, the formation of the foot soldiers in tatters . \nAs Gi Ga broke past the footmenâs formation, he swung off the 4 or 5 soldiers skewered by his spear and led his army toward the course of the enemy horsemen . The horsemen shook in fear like prey eyed by a powerful predator, and before they knew it, the enemy was already upon them .
Overwhelmed, they tried to scatter and flee, but most of them misjudged the speed of Aransain and found themselves hunted .
Despite that, the reason why a third of them still lived was because Gi Ga did not want to slow their pace by wasting their time pursuing them, so he quickly stopped the pursuit and brought his army back together .
âOur duty is to reach the Holy Shushunu Kingdom . â
After bringing Aransain back together, he spoke to the unsatisfied soldiers of Aransain .
âOur speed will lead us to victory! If you have time to waste chasing after enemy soldiers as if they were stones by the wayside, use that instead to claim the head of the enemyâs leader even a moment sooner . â
Before the cries of this Baron Class goblin, these fierce soldiers obediently bowed their heads .
âOnwards! The steps we take shall open the path to victory! Our unparalleled speed will lead us to the glory our king desires!â
Encouraged by Gi Ga, Aransain once again rode for the Imperial Capital .
Meanwhile, Gi Gi Orudoâs monster army reacted to the blood left behind by the soldiers slain by Gi Gaâs Aransain .
âAt this rate, our speed will slow down . â
Gi Gi knitted his brows atop his Large-Horned Ostrich (Triple Head), and then gave the order to do away with the smell confusing the monster beasts .
âBring out the Fast-Footed Bandits (Geotorat) . â
They released the thorn dogs sensitive to the smell of the blood to chase after the source .
âGood, now bring out the Slow-Footed Bandits (Goratorat) . â
After judging that the fast-footed ones were far enough, he ordered the other group of salivating thorn dogs to give chase too . This two-tiered pursuit unit was one of the ways they thought of to make use of the special traits of the monster beasts . The thorn dogs had a habit of gathering together when theyâve smelled the blood of a kill or the blood of another thorn dog .
Gi Gi prepared these two-tiered pursuit units to make use of that special trait .
In fact these Torat squads, which were devised to chase after fleeing soldiers, were so effective that Zailduk came to be infamously known as an army that didnât even leave corpses in their trails .
To the slow-footed infantry, the Torat squads were truly an arrow from the God of Death .
After doing away with the smell of blood and the monsters beasts having calmed down, Gi Gi headed north and followed after Aransain .
