Goblin Kingdom

Goblin Name Cheat Sheet:

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. Became a goblin noble in chapter 39.

[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. He acts like a samurai.

[Race] Goblin

[Level] 5

[Class] Lord; Horde Chief

[Possessed Skills] >

His swordsmanship skill is quite high. If it’s this high while he’s still a noble class, then won’t he surpass me once he goes up another class?

> will cause his growth to take some time, but in exchange, he’ll get more bonuses once he evolves up.

> will keep his opponent’s critical rate in check. Enemy critical rate reduced by 30%. Moreover, when fighting at the frontlines, physical strength 10% UP, agility 10% UP, and damage received 20% DOWN.

> will increase his charm toward fellow goblins by 20%.

> is the same as Gi Ga.

And then, the one that I’m most interest in, his [Divine Protection]. It’s my first time seeing a goblin other than me be blessed with a divine protection. His divine protection comes from the Sword God (Ra Baruza).

[Divine Protection] Sword God (Ra Baruza). Reinforces the growth of one’s swordsmanship. If the receiver of this divine protection can reach Swordsmanship A+, then usage of the [Skill] > will become possible.

Using a weapon other than a sword will cause the receive to lose the divine protection.

After seeing Gi Go’s status, I began thinking of a way to make the most of it.

Gi Gu also received the ‘Sub Leader’ title when he evolved into a noble class, but the impression Gi Go gives off is different.

Gi Gu is the type to lead the other goblins with skill, whereas, Gi Go is the type to lead others through his charms. Gi Gu’s way is more refined, but there are many amongst the faction of Gi Go who admire him.

Regarding the > skill, I can make the most out of it as long as I have Gi Go fight in the frontlines all the time. The skill will also keep his opponent’s criticals in check, so losing to a weaker opponent would be unlikely. He’ll also last longer against stronger opponents.

Right… If I’m going to make the most of him, it’s got be the frontlines.

“Gi Go, you did a wonderful job in our battle this time. As reward, I grant you this sword.”

I picked a sword out of the piles of loot we looted from the orcs, and then I handed it to Gi Go.

“Please excuse this one, but…”

As he continued to kneel down with his head down, Gi Go shook his head.

“I would prefer a curved sword rather than a straight one.”

Well, that slipped through.

“My bad. Right… The Sword God (Ra Bazura) is watching over you after all.”

Then in that case, I should give him the same type of weapon.

He did receive the divine protection from polishing his technique with the curved sword to this extent. So, I guess it’s not strange at all that he might not want to use a different weapon even if it is also a sword.

Well, as for me, I would hate it if he lost his [Divine Protection] after finally seeing another goblin receive one.

Picking out a curved sword that’s still in good condition from the heaps of loots, I bestowed it upon Gi Go.

“I gratefully accept!”

As Gi Go happily accepted the curved sword, the surviving, stubborn old goblin ordered for the next goblin to come in. This time it was a rare class.

“The next goblin has defeated three orcs despite being only a goblin.”

Three orcs?

Impossible.

“Excuse me.”

The goblin that entered was a rare class goblin that was a size bigger than Gi Go and Gi Gu.

[Divine Protection] Mad God (Zu Oru)

[Attributes] None

If I recall correctly, this should be a goblin that was born after I became chief.

But the face of this goblins is completely different from before the fight. The once peaceful face has gone, wounded by war, and replaced by this face that doesn’t have a drop of charm to it. His gaze is twisted by hatred, shooting strongly against even me as if I’m considered an enemy.

Focusing my consciousness, I delved into the goblin’s skill further.

> aim at the target’s vital point.

> Due to receiving the divine protection of the Mad God (Zu Oru), it will no longer be possible to use any skills. But in exchange, physical strength 40% UP, agility 40% UP, and damage received reduced by 40%. Status abnormalities will also be lifted.

Isn’t this divine protection too strong?

Even without checking it with my own divine protection, I know that divine protections generally give some power in exchange for some side effects. In Gi Go’s case, he yearns for curved swords so much that he would even go against my will. In Reshia’s case, her body will sometimes be taken over her goddess… and so on.

Hmm… I wonder if this goblin is having his mind influenced by the god who gave him his divine protection.

As I felt sympathy for him due to the similarity of our circumstances, I asked him a few questions, and then just as I was about to give him a name…

“Chief, please… let me hunt… Please… together.”

Even without activating the Red Snake’s Eye, I know full well that the > has already been activated. But as for whether he activated it, or it was activated, I don’t know.

“Alright.”

If I leave this goblin like this, he’ll be a danger to the horde.

I’ll have to save him.

After all, I’ve finally gathered some good men. It’d be a shame to lose them right under my nose.

“We’ll end here. The rest… I’ll deal with tomorrow.”

As I declared that to the old goblin, I went out to the forest with the goblin that has been consumed by the Mad God.

Author’s Note:

Gi Ga’s fate will be revealed next chapter.
