The Peerless Kobold - Chapter 170
“Gadosurauh, gadia!” (Beat them up, charge!)
“Guouh!!” (YEAHHHH!!)
The commander led his foot soldiers and drew near us while watching out for magic attacks and arrows.
Generally, when places like towns and villages with lots of structures are attacked, it would be hard to clearly determine the number of enemies, so it would be easier to charge in and find out how many there are…
(I’ll give them points for taking initiative, but they’re too distracted.)
As I was absorbed in my thoughts, the goblin archers suddenly peeked from their hiding places with their short bows loaded and aimed at us.
“Girauah!!” (I got them in my sights!!)
“Giasleuh!” (Fire!)
While briefly warning the others, I ducked and dodged the arrows that were coming at us from the goblin archers’ hiding place. After confirming that Kusel and Noa were safely hidden, I realized,
“Gauh, guruu woruguaoo.” (Huh, looks like I was distracted too.)
While I was admonishing myself, the enemy archers peeked out and were getting ready for a second volley of attacks, but tragedy struck just as they were about to strike.
“Gyauah!? Gehah…”
“Giiih, giu…ah…”
Two goblin archers were suddenly hit by flying arrows on the throat and chest and fell.
The archers from the commando unit who split up with us fully displayed their hunting skills by hiding their presence as they took the lapse in the enemy’s attention to the blazing flames as an opportunity and striked.
Meanwhile, another set of miserable goblin screams rang out from a different place.
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!”
“Guaaah, h-haa…”
In the midst of the sudden commotion, sparks and burning pieces of wood continued to be scattered by the wind from the burnt-out building, causing the other structures nearby to catch fire and produce billows of smoke.
“E-edo girausu…!?” (T-the village is burning…!?)
Aiming at the Goblin Fighter who momentarily quailed at their situation, Noa fired two non-attribute magic bullets one after another.
“Gih!?” (Wha!?)
However, even though the Goblin Warrior was able to narrowly stop the first bullet with his buckler, the following bullet made a hole in his chest and killed him.
“Guaruooau, woau garuoooau.” (Don’t take it against us, we’re just giving you a taste of your own medicine.)
“Guh, uwa… aaah…a”
As the other remaining guards shrieked one after the other, the Goblin Warrior who seemed to be their commander yelled in anger,
“Galegudorah, giusu giirah!!” (Stop fucking around, what the heck are you doing!?)
As the Goblin Warrior continued to yell, I pulled out my scimitar and carefully approached him for a confrontation.
“Giuruaaaaah!!” (You bastaaaaarddddd!)
However, I was a few steps ahead of him as I took a step back to evade the slash attack he launched at me in anger. Coursing power to my legs, I leaned forward and adapted a low stance and flew at him with an instantaneous slash attack.
“SHAAAAAAAAAH!!”
There was a flash of light followed by the sound of air being cut and the Goblin Warrior’s throat was torn open before he could even pull back his weapon.
“U-uu, aaa…uh…”
“Kuaruoua.” (Rest in peace.)
I pressed my left palm against his chest while concentrating magic at that point and fired a Wind Blade at point blank range, effectively ending his suffering. After that, I walked around the dead goblin’s huge body while sheathing my scimitar and turned towards the presence that was approaching me from behind.
“Woaruooon? Woruo.” (Is this how you want it, wise one?)
“Wau, uwaon.” (Yes, that’s right.)
Just as Oswald asked as he approached, the flames were moderately spreading throughout the village and creating thick billows of smoke. There was a risk of killing the captured elves and adventurers that were probably inside the Village Chief’s house if we got carried away and overdid it after all.
(I guess this is enough. Now, on to the next task…)
After a bit of deliberation, I called everyone to gather and let out a roar to alert the goblins fighting nearby that we have captured their village, and ran over to the south side of the forest where the thick of the battle was happening.
