Chapter 174: Goblin unit annihtion battle<hr>
I sent an email to Ruin-san and the others and headed to the goblins for prep work.
The team consists of Koihi, Nowa, Sabik, Kitsuneko and Darley.
Nowa retreats into my shadow, while I ride Darley, Sabik on my neck and Koihi taking the reins.
On the way, I''ll defeat what I can for Nowa. After defeating Gray Wolves and Crows, Nowa steadily raises her level.
Before we reach the point where the Goblin Riders appear, Sabik reacts.
I knew it...I found it!
With Sabik''s guidance, we head straight for the enemy. It''s not as fast asst time! I won''t let it get away!
Sabik has secured the culprit. The culprit is a Goblin Archer. Last time we were ambushed by Goblin Riders.
If we were taken by surprise, then there must be someone who can tell the Goblin Riders about our approach. If the Goblin Archer has the eagle eye skill, they''ll be perfect for the lookout.
"Nowa, can you be this guy?"
"...No problem"
"Can you do it, Koihi and Kitsuneko?"
"Y, Yes!
"Coon!"
Nowa mimics the Goblin Archer and Koihi transforms into a Goblin Archer. I didn''t want to see a goblin with fox ears.
Kitsuneko then possesses the Goblin Archer.
Well, let''s see what happens...
I hid and watched the three of them.
Then a Goblin Thiefes and talks to them.
...I don''t understand a word its saying
Wh, What should I do?
Nowa and Koihi dont talk. Kitsuneko, please reply appropriately
As the Goblin Thief and Kitsuneko were talking, the Goblin Thief noticed something was wrong and ran away.
Kitsuneko, finish it
The Goblin Thief that ran away was hit by an arrow from the Goblin Archer possessed by Kitsuneko and fell. The possessed Goblin Archer is also killed.
"...Exposed"
"S, Sorry! Takuto-oniichan"
"...Coon"
"Don''t be discouraged. I''ve got the information I wanted. I''m confident in my n now. Thank you. All three of you. Let''s head back"
We returned with Return.
I ate dinner and when I logged into the game, everyone was there.
"Ah, Takuto-san. Good evening!"
"Hey! I heard you came up with a n. Chief of Staff"
Reppuu-san said something strange.
"Who''s the Chief of Staff..."
"Oh? Isn''t that perfect? Didn''t youe up with a n this time, too?"
"Even Ruin-san...haa, can I go kill the Goblins alone? I''m in a hurry"
Wait!?
All of them start to panic. Good grief...these people...
"I''ll exin the n I''ve devised right now, since time is limited. Please listen"
I exined briefly.
"This girl''s ability is amazing..."
"...Eeheh"
I''m a little proud of myself because Nowa is the key to this strategy.
"It sure looks like we can do this..."
"Yes. If the defense is strong, it''s basic to break in from the inside"
Reppuu-san and Raiden-san seem to agree.
"But, you know. I''m not sure if it''s that easy. Goblins are smart, aren''t they?"
"Yes, they are. They''ll find out, won''t they?"
Rika and Mel are talking. It''s natural to think so.
"Actually, I found that there is a different quest from this one"
Another quest?
Everyone is interested.
"Yes. It seems that the goblins are kidnapping vigers. I''ve confirmed that there''s a request for lost children at the Adventurer''s Guild"
"Oh! I''ve seen it too. What?"
"Yeah. It certainly happened. What does that have to do with it?"
Reppuu-san and Raiden-san also found out. I''m sure the sky fox was right, because I actually confirmed it.
"Perhaps. An NPC gave me the information that behind this quest there is an evil summoner who controls the goblins"
They all look at Rook. I''m sure they will.
"I, It wasn''t me!?"
Rook panics, which makes him even more suspicious.
"We were directly requested by the NPC to defeat this summoner and rescue the kidnapped girl. So I think I''ll leave the strategy of the area release event to you guys"
Eh!?
Everyone was surprised. Well, if I was told to leave the quest to me suddenly, I would react the same.
"What kind of girl is that girl?"
Reppuu-san asks.
"It seems to be the same Cerian Beast as Koihi"
Wait a minute!!
Even if the men are told to wait for that.
"I can''t wait. As I said earlier, I don''t have time to spare"
"That''s not what I meant! You know what? We need to be a part of that rescue"
"Th, That''s right!"
"You can''t take all the credit!"
Even if that is said.
"This is a special quest I''ve epted from an NPC. No one but me can participate"
Ugu!?
The male yers choked up. Ruin-san and Mel said.
"If that''s the case, we certainly can''t participate"
"We should concentrate on the area release event. The rewards seem to be good and you will help us, right, Takuto-kun?"
"Of course. The destination is the same. So, about the intelligence of the goblins, I tried to fool them earlier and I could fool them just fine, so I think it will work"
"It''s a good idea to propose a strategy after you are confident that it will work"
"That''s just like Nii-sama"
I don''t feel like I''m being praised when Rekka says it. Mirai doesn''t praise me either.
"...Understood. Anyway, let''s kill those goblins"
Then the members were decided.
First of all, I, Rook and Raiden-san will be in charge of the unit that will destroy them from within.
The unit to destroy the enemy. Reppuu-san and Tyrol.
The unit that will stand in the way of the goblins'' retreat. Ruin''s group, Mel''s group.
We are the heart of the operation. It depends on how much we can destroy the goblins. We started marching to destroy the goblins.
My team consisted of Ix, Nowa, Konoha, Sabik and Liqueur.
Ix was fully loaded and made her first public appearance. Needless to say, she was very popr. And then we were reminded of Ix''s super performance.
"Detecting skill responding. The number is 4. Master"
Ix gave us the exact location of the enemy.
"If she''s in charge of sniping, we''re in for a rude awakening..."
That''s for sure. All of us were shocked.
Tyrol and I will split up and take them out. I was in charge of the ones that were farther away because of Liqueur.
This is how we killed the surprise attack. This is where the real battle begins.
Nowa mimics a Goblin Thief and heads for the forest where there are likely to be many Goblin Archers with Rook''s goblins.
Nowa and the others seed in getting in safely. After all, Rook''s goblins were also considered friends.
...Infiltration sessful
Good. You''ll need to hide in the shadows of the goblins to avoid being detected
...Okay
Nowa hides in the shadow of a nearby Goblin Thief.
How is the enemy doing?
...There are many shadows on the trees. Fifteen in all
Do you see someone with a staff?
...Yes, but not many. I can see about five of them from here. They''re on the ground
I guess Goblin Shamans can''t climb trees. That''s convenient.
What else are there? Tell me the number
...There are 4 carriages. There are 45 shadows on the ground
In other words, there may be about 40 thieves, fighters and riders.
I see. Thank you. Nowa. Let''s get to work
...N
We''ll start with the shamans who''re in the way. I''ll give orders to Raiden-san and Rook.
The Goblin Shamans are falling into the pit one after another. It''s Raiden-san''s meerkats. And then Rook''s goblins beat them to a pulp. This sealed the magic.
Tyrol, who was lucky enough to be able to summon a soul, brought the soul closer and the Goblin Archers went for it, but it was useless. We''ve got this game!
Nowa, please!
...N. Shadow Movement
I jump out of the shadow where Nowa was hiding and my ss sword pierces the face of the Goblin Thief.
"Come! Koihi, Konoha, Sabik, Route!"
The summoned Koihi immediately attacked the goblins.
Konoha flies through the air and uses his ice de to cut through the branches of the trees where the Goblin Archers are, sending them down and freezing the other Goblin Archers with feather throwing.
The pesky Goblin Thieves are targeted by Sabik and Route.
"Nowa, stay in my shadow"
"...N"
Well, let''s do this.
I''ll take on the Goblin Fighters with my ss sword. Sometimes spearse out of my shadow. What a way for Nowa to follow me, isn''t it?
Then reinforcements arrive from outside the forest.
"Push in!"
"It''s time for a meal! Everybody!"
Tyrol, what''s the deal with that shout?
"...Meal"
See, Nowa''s peeking out from behind me...
"When this battle is over, we''ll have dinner"
"...I hope Niis handmade"
"Yeah. I''ll make it. Just hang in there a little longer"
"...N"
However, with everyone else joining the battle, the enemies werepletely trapped. Then one of the carriageses towards us.
...Pinch
It''s alright
I throw my ss sword, which pierce the face of the Goblin Rider driving the carriage. You can avoid the rest.
"Ta, Takuto-oniichan! Are you okay?"
Koihi and the others gather.
"Yeah, I''m fine. It looks like we''re in battle. Sabik, Route. Keep an eye out for the goblin thieves"
""Shaa!""
"Koihi and Konoha, check if anyone has escaped. If you find any, drive them to where Ruin-san and the others are"
"Understood!"
Rook ising.
"Match...I didn''t think that the same goblins wouldn''t attack us"
"We could have fooled them with a new breed of goblin with fox ears"
"It''s true that if you can fool them, you''ll be fine"
It looks like they''ve been wiped out? When Tyrol came, I asked her.
"It looks like we''re okay. We let a couple of them escape, but I just got a call from Mel saying they were killed"
"Good! Let''s raise a battle cry!"
Reppuu-san said and everyone raised their battle cry.
Oo~!
This is how we broke through the forest where the goblins were hiding.
After that, we took a different route and searched again with Ix.
It seems that there are a lot of monkeys on the way.
Because the boss is King Kong. It looks like it''s a forest of monkeys from here on out.
"Do you think we should keep going?"
The majority agreed that we should go. But we know the horror of monkeys.
When we stepped near the monkeys Ix had detected, the monkeys all started screaming at once.
Ukii!
What is it? Are they threatening us?
That''s when I thought so. Ix warns.
"Warning. Numerous responses from all directions. Number 120"
Ii!?
120!? They''re probably Muscle Goris. A group of Muscle Goris is impossible!
"Withdraw! Everybody!"
Ukii!
Return!
Each officer casts magic and returns to Freetia.
"Ah, that was close...in many ways"
"Right...I didn''t expect them to call their friends"
"It was helpful to confirm the withdrawal procedure"
Absolutely. Thanks to everyone, nothing...thing?
"Number of people...isn''t it small?"
"Speaking of which, there''s no Reppuu"
"...Keigo and Yuko aren''t here either"
"Tyrol''s not here either...she''s probably still out there!"
"That means the monkeys used the jamming skill when they returned with Return"
Everyone who returned is convinced by Rekkas words.
"I won''t let Keigo-niichan and Yuko-neechan''s deaths be in vain"
Risa, don''t kill them.
"Wh...What should I do...Tyrol will be pissed..."
Hang in there, Rook. Afterwards, the surviving members discuss about the monkeys.
We came up with a few ideas. First of all, if they call their friends, we can use traps and range magic to defeat them all at once. In this case, someone would act as a decoy.
Nowa was chosen as the decoy. Because she can move to my shadow. But I''m against using Nowa as a decoy.
The reason is the jamming skill. If the interference is concentrated on Nowa alone, there is a high probability that it will fail. I can''t allow that to happen.
Secondly, how to kill the monkeys before they call their friends for cover. Monkeys probably don''t have the detection skill. They only made a noise when we were within visual range of them.
This may be realistic. But if one of them is killed, there is a possibility that they will make a noise. If that''s the case, we''ll need a force that can take out all the monkeys at the same time, but we don''t have that force at the moment.
I guess that''s it for today. I''m disappointed. However, when I returned, the info was flowing.
The level of space-time magic has reached 20. Space-time magic Warp Gate and Gate Point have been acquired
This magic smells super useful! It looks like I''ve learned a reassuring magic for attacking the King Kong Fort.
It''s only two days until the quest is due.<hr>
