On the day of departure, the one to guide as was the goblin messenger coming from the tribeās village, Ra Gilmi. He appeared before us dressed like a human with a quiver over his back, and a small bow in his hands. He looked no different from a human hunter.
Accompanying that hunter from Ganra were the beast tamer, Gi Gi, and the stealthy Gi Ji.
Their duty is to scout out any enemies ahead in cases of fighting until we reach the village.
The difficulty of the coming battles will be decided by whether they would be able to scout the enemies ahead or not.
In the main force are Gi Zu, the one who received the divine protection of the Mad God (Zu Oru), Gi Za, the chief of the druids, Gi Go Amatsuki, who received the divine protection of the Sword God (La Paruza), and Gi Do, the wind magician.
Itās the main forceās duty to exterminate the enemies spotted by the advanced force.
Making up the rear guard were Gi Gu Verbena, and as his subordinate, the wide-eyed Gi Jii.
These two goblins are tasked with the duty of securing a way back from the tribeās village to the Gi Village.
In the case someone tries to block away, itās also their duty to ensure that theyāre dead.
As for the goblins that were left behind in the village, thereās the long armed Gi Ga Rax, the water magician Gi Zo, and the spearman, Gi Da. Originally, I didnāt want to leave behind any of our already limited strength, but Gi Gaās body was far too injured to handle a fight. In order to support him, I had to leave behind the water magician, Gi Zo, and the spearman, Gi Da. I also had to leave behind the beast tamer, Gi De, in order to allow communication with the kobolds.
I left two sets of normal goblins each.
Then I took forty-eight with me.
Our forces may have also been worn out from the orc war, but thereās also the food consumption to take into account when moving such a large force. Moving 50 goblins doesnāt come cheap food-wise.
Itās because of that that I decided to use preserved food.
If we were to hunt as we moved, we wouldnāt be able to make much progress in a day. But if we focused our time solely on moving, we should be able to arrive at our destination quickly.
āGi Ga, Iām counting on you.ā
As Gi Ga held himself up with a spear in place of a cane, he sent me off.
āThe king tooā¦ may you be safe.ā
With words of parting spoken, there was nothing left to say. I turned my back, and left the village.
I would only end up saying unnecessary things if I had stayed longer after all.
āMarch!ā I ordered. with a voice that seemed to make even the forest shake.
āāā
Itās been three days since we passed through the orcsā turf.
Since then the monsters we faced along the way have changed a great deal.
As we approached the mountain range that separated the vast heavens and the boundless earth, the thick forest grew quiet, and a figure appeared from the grass-covered plains. The comforting wind blew past the meadows.
In that swaying field of grass normally appeared several beasts. One of which looked to be a zebra wearing an armor, an Armor Stripe, a tiger with sword-sharp fangs, a Saber Tiger, or a rat that walked on two legs with a spear in its hands, a Ratman.
We subjugated those kind of monsters as we continued on our way.
The first ones to find the enemies were always Gi Giās beasts. Itās because the double head he was riding on, and the wild dogs amongst the beasts in his employ have better noses than the goblins.
And as soon as a beast would be spotted, Ra Gilmiās arrow would fly through the air.
With nimble fingers unlike what common sense would suggest a goblin to have, he would pull on the string of his half-moon bow, letting loose an arrow with punctuality as if he had predicted the prey appearing. The arrow would fly, and it would strike at the beast.
But a fiendish beast that could be called a magical beast even when rotten, could not possibly be felled with just Ra Gilmiās arrow alone.
From there, the beast would attack, enraged. But then the stealthy Gi Ji would be right there hidden in the shadows with his presence concealed ready to strike the beast with his long sword.
Most beasts would fall there, but there are some rare ones that are surprisingly lively. Cases such as those calls for the main force, the druids.
So Gi Do, the wind magician, would cast his wind magic to impede the movement of the beast.
Then with the beast unmoving, the normal goblins would be free to lay waste to the helpless beast.
This fighting pattern is something weāve been putting to practice in order to train the lower classes.
A goblin will evolve from a normal to a rare. Then from a rare to a noble.
The more I use the weaker goblins, the more experience they will pile up.
I can tell how strong the four tribes are through the messenger of Ganra, Ra Gilmi.
Yet that Ganra Tribe is currently being overwhelmed.
The Gaidga Tribe is a tribe of goblins possessing herculean strength.
If they are a foe more troubling than the orcs, then I will have to bolster my forcesā strength.
As we passed the grassy plains after three daysā time, we once again entered the thick forest.
āFrom here on is our territory. Not even orcs could enter past this point,ā said Ra Gilmi with his chest puffed out as he continued to lead the way through the animal trail.
As Ra Gilmi walked ahead, the advance force stopped.
Raising his finger, Ra Gilmi asked for silence. The stealthy Gi Ji readied himself, Gi Gi ordered his beasts to go quiet, and I ordered the main force to spread themselves perpendicular.
Something is coming.
Rustlingā¦ a sound resounded out from deep into the animal trail.
Ra Gilmi braced himself, holding tight onto his bow.
Then in the next instant, he swallowed his breath, and as a goblin came out of the animal trail, he struck out his bow.
āChieftain!?ā he exclaimed.
āGilmi!?ā exclaimed back the goblin.
Following right after that goblin was another goblin, wielding a bow. Against which Gi Ji struck his long sword out. They glowered at each otherā¦ the advance force and the unknown goblins.
No, theyāre not unknown. Ra Gilmi called that goblin āchieftainā.
āWithdraw your sword, Gi Ji,ā I commanded. āCalm your beasts, Gi Gi.ā
Theyāre probably the Ganra Tribe.
Then the chieftain who was taken aback, ordered.
āPut down your bows. Theyāre not our enemies.ā said the goblin.
āOh? A female rareā¦ how unusual,ā muttered Gi Za who was calmly watching by my side.
At Gi Zaās words, I looked at the goblin again with a tinge of curiosity in my eyes.
Itās certainly a type my village doesnāt have. To think it was actually a female goblin.
Thereās not much difference between a normal male goblin and a normal female goblin. I know Iām judging them from a humanās perspective, but thereās really not much difference aside from some breasts.
But the goblin rare in front of me is different. She looks like a human.
Red skin, a lone horn growing from her forehead, and flowing green hair that seemed to prove her a friend of the forest. Sheās taller by a size than the goblins, but she can definitely pass for a human.
But even thenā¦ sheās at most a young girl.
Her face is certainly a bit rigid for a human, but itās not such that she couldnāt pass for a human. With a loincloth wrapped over her chest and her waist, if anything, she gives off the image of a hunter.
āIs there something the matter? Did we not plan to wait for me by the village?ā asked Gimli.
Gilmiās question caused the chieftainās face to twist.
āItās because of Gaidgaās whoresons. They attacked us all at once. We managed to escape safely, but the villageās hopeless,ā spat the chieftain who was seemingly trying to do her best to endure the pain.
Then she sent her gaze at me.
āā¦This is?ā she asked.
āThis is the leader of the Gi Village of the eastern goblins. I asked him to lead his forces here in order to aid in Ganraās crisis,ā replied Gimli, proudly.
The Chieftain of Ganra looked at me.
āChild of Gilan, Ra Narsa. I am the Chieftain of Ganra.ā
Filled with dignity and pride, her appearance was like that of one who led her tribe.
āIām sorry for having you come all this way, but Iāll have to ask you to leave. Thereās no longer any village left to save.ā
As she spat those words, she tried to pass through, but Gi Go Amatsuki thrust out his curved sword. The curve sword that was sheathed at his waist just moments ago struck out like flowing water at Narsaās neck.
āWhat is the meaning of this, peasant!?ā she asked, clearly annoyed.
The goblins of Ganra glowered, and Gi Goās eyes narrowed.
āDisrespect to the chief will not be forgiven,ā declared Gi Go.
But Gi Goās curved blade did not even quiver at Gilmiās petition.
However, Narsa didnāt seem to be bothered by the blade. In fact, she seemed to be even provoking Gi Go.
A ballsy woman, huh?
āSpeaking of which, Lord Gilmi. If we were to return like this, what would happen regarding the reward we agreed upon?ā asked Gi Za as he smiled mischievously.
āUmmā¦ thatāsā¦ā
Gilmi could not answer immediately.
After all, he definitely wouldnāt pay.
āIf so, then that would prove to be troubling. After all, we have already mobilized our men,ā said Gi Za.
Gi Za sent a quick glance at me. Those brown eyes of his over that smile of his seemed to be saying to leave it to him.
āBut thatāsāāāā
āItās up to your discretion whether you need our help or not, but if we donāt receive what we came here to receive, then we wonāt be paid. Do you understand what Iām saying, Lord Gilmi?ā
I calmly watched over their exchange with my arms folded.
Regardless of what happens, in the end, the four tribes will all bow before me.
Since thatās how it is, I might as well take this opportunity, and see how good Gi Za is at negotiating. Besides, he seems to be really fired up for this. That bastardā¦ heās enjoying this, aināt he?
āWhat did you promise, Gilmi?ā asked Narsa, nervously.
āThe elf princess,ā replied Gilmi.
āImbecile!ā spat Narsa.
Gilmi began to argue with her.
āButā¦ā Gilmi began, but Narsa cut him.
āThereās nothing here for you bastards to do. Leave,ā glowered Narsa as she spat those words against me.
āAnd I believe I said that would be troubling,ā said Gi Za.
āPrincessā¦ā Gilmi tried to calm Narsa.
āShow respect!ā yelled Gi Go again.
I wonder if sheās forgotten that Gi Goās sword is at her throat.
It doesnāt seem like the Ganra goblinsā chieftain temper will get better any sooner.
āAt this rate, this discussion will go nowhere. Anyway, Lord Gilmi. Itās not as if we care that much about that princess of yours, how about Lord Narsa herself instead?ā suggested Gi Za.
He seems to be used to playing the bad guyās part.
Waitā¦ didnāt I see a similar scene somewhere before?
