The [Goblin] is to make it easier to CTRL+F.

[Goblin] Gi Ga

The goblin in that estranged group that was with the protagonist when he defeated an orc. He is currently a noble class, the highest amongst the protagonist’s subordinates. He prefers to use the spear.

[Goblin] Gi Gu

The former leader of the village. He was pressured by the protagonist in his goblin noble form, and was added to his subordinates. He uses the long sword, and is relatively smart for a goblin rare.

[Goblin] Gi Gi

Known as a beast warrior, a goblin with the ability to tame beasts.

He evolved while hunting spear deer with the protagonist.

He prefers to use the axe. His goblin class is rare.

[Goblin] Gi Go

A goblin with many wounds on his body. The food of his horde was stolen by the gray wolves, so he made a decision to follow the protagonist. He is the most experienced amongst the goblin rares. His weapon is a curved katana.

[Goblin] Gi Za

The druid goblin rare that recently joined them.

[Race] Goblin

[Level] 60

[Class] Duke; Horde Chief

[Possessed Skills] >

Taxed with the burden of having to fight as she endured the pain on her legs, her fatigue piled on top of one another several times faster than normal.

The attacks grew fiercer, and when her body finally reached its limits, her sword was knocked away.

Heaving, and with her sword gone… the match was over.

“That’s enough.”

“Tch…”

I shook Lili’s shoulders, then I left her in Reshia’s care. Afterwards, I called Gi Gu and Gi Go.

“Why do you think they won against Lili?”

The two goblins remained silent, so I answered the question.

“The reason is simple. It’s because there was a clear plan to follow on how to engage the enemy.”

“Clear?”

“Plan?”

Is it too hard?

“In other words, I told them where to attack.”

“I see,” nodded the two as they answered at the same time.

“Moreover, I also told them the opponent’s weakness.”

Pressure the opponent’s weakness, and with the weak point identified, the three goblins will be able to attack in coordination.

And naturally… victory will come.

In other words, it essentially comes down to:

Make the most out of the three goblins’ number advantage. And attack the opponent’s weakness.

“From here on out, I’ll be expecting you and the others to put this into practice.”

We can’t win with power alone against the orcs. That’s why… I have to train their ability to see through their enemies’ weaknesses.

With enough experience, even without the skill >, they should be able to do it.

“Understood.”

“As you will.”

I nodded back to the two goblins, and then I went to check Lili’s condition who has already been brought back to the jail.

◆◇◇

“How are your wounds?” I asked as I entered the jail.

“…It’s fine. There’re no problems,” replied Lili.

It must be because of Reshia’s healing that she’s already able to stand.

“We’ll end here today. Are you still planning to continue tomorrow?”

“O-Of course!”

As Lili stared daggers at me, the corners of my mouth twisted.

“Since you’re that lively, I guess you’ll be fine.”

“Obviously. I’m not going to let those goblins get ahead of me anymore than this!”

“I’ll be looking forward to it then.”

I left the jail with a mischievous smile plastered on my face.

◇◆◆

Hmm… I think I really need to do the hunts with Gi Za’s faction as the center. The fact that they were the first to overcome Lili is really something. So I’ll form the groups like this: one druid at the center and two melee goblins.

Right, I’ll have them hunt with this formation.

But just in case, I’ll have to make sure to order Gi Za not to kill the two goblins that will be in front.

“I don’t really mind,” he said.

But then right after, Gi Za gave a rather delicate response toward my orders.

“Why do you want to keep those goblins alive so much?” he asked.

Why?

“Let me ask you in return, Gi Za. How much of this world do you think we can conquer?”

“Another abrupt question.”

That wry smile, and that shrugging shoulder of his really stinks of human.

“You know… I plan to conquer everything of this world.”

Emotion like fire welled up from within the deepest pits of my body as I uttered those words.

“…Everything, huh?”

“That’s right. This Forest of Darkness. The land that the humans dwell on. Or the mountains that the dragons rule over. Or even the labyrinths that are under the giants’ dominion. Everything.”

Gi Za, speechless. I faced toward him, and I declared,

“Which is exactly why I can’t have these goblins dying here. If they are to welcome me as king, and if I am to be the king you wished for, then I must guide them. The place where they shall die, the place where they shall fight, I will dictate.”

And that place is not here.

“For them to lose their lives in something as meaningless as these hunts… I absolutely forbid it.”

“…ku ku ku.”

Gi Za held his tummy as if it were the strangest thing he’s heard. Then stopping himself, he looked at me seriously, and said.

“I’m looking forward to it, my king. You’ve made me want to follow you.”

In response to his resolve, I puffed out my chest.

“Of course, look forward to it.”
