Chapter 45 – Hobgoblins #6
Okay. The time has finally come. The hobgoblins who have moved to this area will start scouting the surroundings, and if they do so, one day they will surely discover the location of our house.
And the war begins.
I was prepared for it.
Isn’t the Phalanx made for that purpose?
If four shieldmen and four spearmen stand side by side in the dungeon passage and form formation to defend, they can surely win. Phalanx is a very defensive tactic. There is no way to lose in a defensive battle.
ㅡGulp.
But still, I couldn’t get rid of my anxiety. With these guys… To go to war. Sacrifices will happen. If they break the shields of the shield soldiers with their stone axes, trample on them, and charge, that’s for sure.
I have such a feeling.
But that shouldn’t be the case.
“Grararak.”
“Grack.”
The forearm was thicker than expected. Well, of course I would win in arm wrestling, but no matter how you look at it, I’m not a predator worthy of a goblin.
“…”
What to do
Sharan and me
Opponents are two Hobgoblins out on patrol.
Power is superior to this one. Hobgoblins are physically stronger than goblins, but what they fear is not their strength, but their army.
Shall we raid them now and reduce their numbers? This is an opportunity to cut off two of their power. The population of Hobgoblin Village is about thirty. Even if you kill just two there, you can cut almost 10% of the power.
ㅡThin.
My heart beat strongly.
We need to kill them and reduce the power. I heard that judgment. What about risk? Accelerating their invasion. Since they are the ones who organized the army, we will definitely investigate if the scout doesn’t return.
Whatever it is.
I have to choose
Kill these scouts and cut their power and go to war a little faster, or give these guys a little more time to look around and hopefully return and build up their strength.
This is the extreme.
“Grack.”
“Grararak.”
ㅡSue.
Then the Hobgoblins turned this way.
ㅡSmoothly.
Immediately perform a crawl and reverse to return to the original place. In that state, I hid behind a tree with Sharan and observed the hobgoblins.
“Grack.”
“Grack.”
The Hobgoblins, who were looking around, pointed in a certain direction. Did you find something? No. The atmosphere is so flat. It’s an atmosphere that lightly says let’s just go over there.
And.
That direction was where our dungeon was.
ㅡ Jerking and bucking.
The hobgoblins moved very slowly. To point in the direction. Towards our dungeon.
“…”
Selected.
If they come towards my house, I kill them. Come with my men and kill. This was rather a good thing. It’s a chance to give my men information about the hobgoblins.
Come.
While thinking so, I watched the hobgoblins.
ㅡSue.
Sharan also looked at the hobgoblins with her chin resting on my shoulder. Quite comfortably, the leaves of Sharan’s vines that had been wrapped around her body had blossomed and made a natural ghillie suit.
A real ambush expert, expert.
If I had been born on Earth, I would have just become a professional sniper.

Eventually, the hobgoblins arrived near my house after a fucking walk. What did they see in our tracks? So what made you walk here?
Anyway, I had the urge to play Arirang the whole time I was following them, but I held back. It was because I wanted to fight together with my men rather than me and Sharan fighting alone.
If you can hit daguri, you must hit daguri unconditionally. This is my theory Are you strong alone? It’s no use. He’s not a beast, and in the end, he has to hit Daguri to win.
“Grack.”
“Grack.”
The guys walked carefree. An attitude that never dreamed of being followed. Although he is wary of his surroundings, he still seems relaxed.
However.
Let them find the entrance to our dungeon.
“That, Grak…?!”
“Grack rock!”
The atmosphere changed in an instant. The guys who had changed their face color were visibly embarrassed and started looking at the angle to quickly run away.
I didn’t miss the chance. At the same time as he poked Sharan’s side with his finger.
ㅡPay!
Jump loudly, run towards them, and shout!
“Demon King Culse! Appearance! Kwaaaaa!”
At the same time!
“Shaaaaa!”
Sharan caught up with me and took a threatening pose!
“That, Grak?!”
“Grack?!”
The hobgoblins who saw us suddenly appeared were shocked and backed towards the dungeon. Good night! It’s worth it to have made it this far!
“Buril! Bring the kids out! Prepare for battle!!!”
The moment you screamed.
“Keraaaaak!”
“Kereaek!”
Cries heard from inside the dungeon. Soon, my goblin phalanx squad came running out, each clutching their gear!
“Grack?!”
Hobgoblins looking at me and the goblins alternately! You will be very embarrassed! Demon King on the front! After that, the Demon King! It’s a situation where you’re completely surrounded in an instant!
“Ke, Kerek?!”
“Kerreuk!”
The goblins who jumped out immediately formed something similar to a formation. It’s clumsy, but it’s perfect. I tried to surround the Hobgoblin by forming a front shield and a rear spear in a two-person team composition!
However.
“Ke-Keruuk…!”
“Carolung!”
In an instant, the goblins flinched and showed fear. Of course. In nature, there is a relationship between predator and prey. When he saw the Hobgoblin, he was instinctively scared.
This is within the expected range.
“Bastards! Don’t be scared! I’m here!”
Right away.
“Majok Bree Ess!!”
ㅡHurt!
It spewed flames at the hobgoblins.
“Graaak?!”
Flames spewed out and licked the air. Of course, the range was short, so there was nothing to touch. I just made a little threat with the flame visual. Anyway, this demon breath made the Hobgoblins even more frightened.
“Keruk!”
“Kerrureuk!”
My men have regained their morale. Seeing this great figure of me gave me courage again!
“Attack it!!!”
And the moment the order was given!
“Keruk! Keruk!”
“Keruk! Keruk!”
“Keruk! Keruk!”
At Buril’s command, the goblins slowly advanced and thrust their spears at the hobgoblins.
“Graaaaagh! Graaaaa!”
“Grararak!”
Hobgoblins.
ㅡ Booung!
ㅡ Booung!
He just wielded a stone ax at random, not knowing what to do. Ahead is me and the dryad, an evil fire-breathing monster. And a squad of eight goblins in the back.
I can’t make a good judgement.
It’s a great panic.
“That, Grak!”
So we slowly narrowed the encirclement.
ㅡPoo-wook!
ㅡWhoops!
In the end, wooden spears were driven into the backs of the hobgoblins!
“Grack…!”
“Kerrrrrrrrr!”
ㅡPoo-wook!
ㅡPoo-wook!
ㅡPoo-wook!
It doesn’t end in one shot. The goblins stabbed their spears like crazy, and the hobgoblins collapsed without responding… Victory!
“Oh, oh oh! Oh oh oh oh!!!”
Won!
“I won!”
Extreme thrill, intense pleasure!
—-Pachichit!
All those emotions ran through my whole body and passed! Won! Won! It was also very easy to win!
Simply Siege!
It was very easy to kill these two Hobgoblins simply by encircling them! A brilliant victory that we were able to achieve because we used tactics!
“Our victory! Hooray!”
“Kerrrrrrrrr!”
“Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Shaaaaa!”
After declaring victory, the goblins cheered in unison.
“Good job! Very good job!”
I just praised my little heroes.
“Kerung!”
Buril jumped and jumped, and the other goblins also flipped over and squealed as they rubbed their backs on the floor.
“Keugh…!”
Tears flow.
What I gained from this battle was really a lot.
First of all, morale and winning experience. Goblins have defeated opponents stronger than themselves, and that will lead to self-confidence. Combat experience there. I learned how to fight by using it myself, and finally, information about the enemy. Obtained information from Hobgoblins.
“I can win.”
Even if the hobgoblin army invades, you can win. It was clearly felt.
“Then guys! Let’s eat these bastards and absorb their power!”
“Kereuugh!”
As soon as I uttered a suitable comment, the goblins started preparing the dishes. I immediately approached the hobgoblin corpse and grabbed something useful.
“Let’s see… A stone axe. A hilt. Huh? That’s right. This leather outfit.”
Leather clothes.
Come to think of it, they were wearing clothes.
ㅡGulp.
Saliva drips down As if possessed, I took off the hobgoblins’ skins. Is this… Loot? Did you get clothes as loot?
“Oh my gosh!”
Not only meat, but also dropping equipment!
These pups are great!
Stay still. When we kill all the Hobgoblins, the clothes they were wearing and the equipment they were carrying. Doesn’t it all become ours? Then we goblins will be able to wear these military uniforms!
“One more reason to win.”
At that time.
“Char. Char Char.”
Sharan came over with a smile and groomed my face. Okay. You too know the value of victory.
“Uh. Sharan. I love you too.”
He immediately hugged Sharan around the waist.
Now.
You just have to eat and train hard once. A collision is now inevitable. Sooner or later they will come in. There is no time. You have to train a little harder.
After all, he must have learned a little about how to grate with what he fought today. In other words, the state of experiencing actual battles and greatly increasing their proficiency.
The level of the goblins’ spears increased by about two stages.
Then you will get better training.
“Come on! Then let’s eat!”
“Keruk!”
“Char!”
Blood.
It felt like my blood was boiling. Is it because she won? Or is it because I’m a demon? It’s good. Win and grow. It was in my eyes
