Chapter 3 – Second Life in Another World (3)
“But where are you going now?”
Seojun Lee asked.
Zion answered him.
“I’m going back to the Pioneer Village I was using as a base.”
“I really want to go back to the principality, but it takes two days by carriage alone, and the next carriage is two days later…”
Well, I got a request.
No matter how hard it is, two people won’t be able to subdue a group of goblins.
‘Both of them are, at best, at the level of an F-class hunter.’
If the two of us go together, it’s obvious that we’ll end up together.
So it must have been a choice to drop out.
However, Shion spoke as if to prove that his thoughts were wrong.
“Seojun waits for the carriage in the village.”
“That’s right. Even if subjugation is impossible, if you don’t investigate to some extent, you won’t be able to go back even if you want to.”
“Um, I guess I’m being too reckless?”
“We know how reckless it is. But if I go back without results, it will interfere with my future work, so I can’t help it.”
“Because being an adventurer is a job that ends when you are laughed at.”
Seojun tried to say that since six of the eight members broke the rules with a set, there might be a problem with the guild, but Shion shook his head from side to side.
“It’s definitely the guild’s negligence for not doing the preliminary investigation properly, but we have to wait two days to report it.”
“If the damage spreads in the meantime, the villagers will be in trouble.”
Both of them are nice.
But I liked it even more.
In modern times, women like that are almost endangered species.
‘Then, where should I go from here?’
Leaving aside everything else, I didn’t want to see such good kids die.
So Seo-joon said to the two of them.
“Then I will help you.”
“Yes? Are you Seojun?”
“Are you okay? It’s good for us, but you don’t belong to a guild, so there’s no reward at all.”
“It doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t say that instead, but I’d appreciate it if you could teach me a lot about this world.”
“Uh, isn’t that too cheap for a job risking one’s life?”
Zion again reveals the light of the boundary.
Since that happened earlier, it was natural to be wary of Seo-jun, who was classified as the same man.
So he went straight ahead.
“I don’t want good kids like you to die.”
“… To?
Shion made a confused voice.
It is a response that a completely unexpected answer came back.
Seeing that cute figure, Seojun smiled.
Then Lorna drew her smile as she hugged Shion from behind.
“Are you okay. Seo-jun must be a good person.”
“Is that so? Mmmm, if Lowe said that much, that would be it.”
Shion shakes her head, as if convinced.
She opened her mouth to Seo-joon.
“Um, then I don’t mind, but can I ask you a favor?”
“Of course.”
In such a friendly atmosphere, the three of them headed to the pioneer village.
***
How long did it take
The three were able to arrive at the pioneer village in time.
After a short trip, the three of them gathered again and had a long conversation.
In the meantime, Seojun looked in one direction.
‘Something is there.’
I tried to check it by distributing magic power.
There were many goblins.
The guys were holding their breath in the woods, armed.
Combining it with what I had heard that they were nocturnal, I was able to infer the result that they would attack at night.
He reported this right away.
“There are goblins hiding in the forest outside the village.”
“Is it some kind of talent of the lost?”
Shion, who had come close to Seo-joon’s side, looked at the forest through the window, but felt nothing and tilted her head as if he couldn’t see.
“I can’t feel anything or see anything, but if Seo-jun goes that far, it might be worth investigating. Lou, can I ask you a favor?”
“Yes, no problem.”
As Shion turned to her Lorna’s request, Lorna nodded her head and clasped her hands in front of her chest.
Her voluptuous breasts were pushed up in excess, emphasizing their presence.
Watching that, Lorna’s lips opened and the words came out without interruption.
“I long for it. You are an honorable person whom I trust. Please point out who is disturbing our well-being.”
Lee Seo-joon felt that an unknown ripple spread from Rona’s gripped hands.
Before long, Lorna’s closed eyes opened and said.
“There is definitely something hostile in the woods. That’s a fair number too. About 50 or more… I’m not sure exactly. At this rate, there are quite a few outside the detection range…”
“Huh, over 50? What the hell…”
“If someone makes a group like this in a forest that harbors miasma.”
“… That’s a big deal. Are the commanders a bunch of goblins?”
Shion made a serious expression.
“For now, Low. Run to the village chief. Hurry up and evacuate the women and children and get those ready to fight.”
“All right.”
At the same time as the answer, Lorna ran out.
Shion, who was looking at him, turned to Seo-joon.
“Anyway, only bad luck happens in a row. Can you help me?”
She had no room in the tone of the question.
It seems like a pretty embarrassing situation.
“Of course.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Rather than that, what about the power difference?”
“The population of this village is about 50 people. Among them, there are about 10 young men who can fully fight. In terms of numbers, there are 13 people including us. If your opponent is over 50, you’re at an overwhelming disadvantage. Besides, the men in the village didn’t have any combat training, so even if it’s one-on-one, if it’s more than 1-on-2, it’s going to be a defensive battle.”
In other words, it is said that it is overwhelmingly disadvantageous.
However, it was fine.
Because Lee Seo-joon was himself.
“Hmm, what if we lose?”
“No, I don’t want to teach you much, but.”
After saying rhymes with a shy face, Shion continued.
“A village becomes a sacrifice. They only see human corpses as prey. Young women, myself included, will be put to death if they do not die at their hands.”
Well, a typical goblin.
Of course, the goblin that came out of the gate was different.
Because they only knew slaughter.
“Okay, I understand. Leave this job to me.”
“You want me to leave it to you? Even Seo-jun can’t face that number alone…”
Seojun covered Shion’s mouth with his finger.
Then he told her with a confident smile.
“Well, look at it first and then say that.”
***
The goblin invasion began at sunset.
Figures of little dwarves emerging as if rising from the shadows of a dark forest.
Countless red eyes that reflected faint light in the darkness stared straight at the village and approached.
“Have a lot.”
Huiyu and Seojun blew a whistle.
It was a goblin, an F-class monster, but with that number, it wouldn’t be strange to be designated as an E-class gate.
“Gulp.”
Several swallowing sounds were heard.
These were the men of the pioneer village.
Their armaments were not made for battle, and the look of fear was evident on their faces.
‘Well, I can’t run away, so I have to face it.’
This is a pioneer village.
Due to its characteristics, it was built on a mountainous wall.
Originally, several soldiers would have been dispatched to guard, but since it was a newly created village, the bad luck that soldiers had not yet been dispatched overlapped.
It took two days by carriage to the nearest town.
It’s a distance that can’t be reached with women and children who can’t fight.
They will surely be chased along the way and gradually eaten away by moths and annihilated.
Crackle.
Men bumped into it.
No matter how scared I was, I wanted to do that, but honestly, it was noisy.
In contrast, Seo-joon was very relaxed.
Seeing that, Shion approached and asked.
“Is Seo-joon familiar with this situation?”
Her voice is hard as she asks.
Seojun responded with a mischievous smile.
“If you’re used to it, you should consider it familiar.”
That buck
He took a step
Several gazes chasing him.
“Well, so leave everything behind to me.”
“What is that… ?”
“I’m going to cut them all by myself.”
“What?”
Leaving behind Shion’s panicked voice, Seo-joon rushed towards the goblins.
In his hand was a sword held in subspace.
‘Let’s try to figure out the characteristics of the newly acquired murder sword.’
One of the effects of the Murder Sword trait.
Thousands of Clashes (千人斬殺流) is a type of swordsmanship that Renya Kunugi devoted his life to.
It was a swordsmanship specialized in killing something.
‘First one.’
He got close to the goblin before he knew it and swung his sword.
Without even the sound of the wind, the goblin’s head flew through the sky.
“Kieek?!”
A confused goblin’s voice.
It seemed as if he was surprised to see him cover the distance of more than 50 meters in an instant.
Seo-joon did not wait for them to come to their senses and performed sword dance.
Every time that happened, the goblins fell down.
‘This is good.’
As for the sword, he only briefly used it when he was in F-rank.
But strangely, he was used to holding a sword.
Maybe it’s because of the killer blade trait.
It was very sweet.
“Kieek!”
A dozen or so goblins died before I knew it.
Then the guys screamed as if they had come to their senses and threw their weapons at him.
However, it was all futile.
Seo-joon avoided all of their attacks or killed them before that.
Even if it was hit in the first place, it wouldn’t even have been scratched, but it would only make me feel dirty.
A one-sided slaughter ensues.
The goblins seemed to realize that they were an opponent they couldn’t win, but they started to back away.
‘Fear is contagious.’
Numbers are meaningless in the face of overwhelming force.
And fear, once planted, is not easily erased and turns into panic.
Eventually, when the number of goblins he killed exceeded thirty, the remaining goblins started screaming and running away.
“Uh huh, where are you going?”
It’s free when you come in, but not when you go out.
He chased down all the runaway goblins and turned them into pieces of meat.
The goblin invasion that threatened the pioneer village ended with a single young man killing all the goblins in 3 minutes.
Unlike the beginning, it was a very empty ending.
