"My king, two newly selected goblin champions have fallen...!" (in goblin language) a goblin servant cried out.
Chapter 34 Goblin Night Raid? (4k)
"My king, two newly selected goblin champions have fallen...!" (in goblin language) a goblin servant cried out.
Goblin King Gojin sat on his crooked throne, propping his cheek with one hand, and slowly closed his eyes.
There was no rage, no sorrow, only silence.
During the period of the Goblin Champion Selection, a large number of humans began to launch attacks on the Empire.
The humans first appeared from the western part of the territory.
It was originally just a minor incident, with three to five people dying every day, but one day suddenly things changed.
Humans began massacring goblins from the west, wiping out everyone from low-ranking ones to centurions.
The massacre lasted for two days before the Goblin King learned of it and quickly dispatched three of the strongest goblin centurions selected during the campaign to fight the enemy.
Since there are two Goblin Champion positions, the original intention was to have these three centurions compete in dealing with enemies, and then select two winners from among the victors.
The result. Qi
The three-headed goblin centurion is dead.
In other words, the opponent has the power to easily kill a centurion.
Moreover, this is already the best goblin centurion.
With those three dead, it's likely that none of the subsequent goblin centurions would be a match for them. 4
The centurions were actually relieved; if the selection hadn't taken place deep within the empire, they probably would have died at the hands of humans anyway.
With the death of the three best goblin centurions, the empire had no choice but to urgently promote the fourth or fifth-ranked goblin centurions to the title of Goblin Champion.
The evolution of demons is simple; all it takes is to elevate them and have their identities recognized.
For example, a Goblin Centurion was originally just a Centurion, but after winning the selection, he received a title recognized by the King and immediately gained an attribute boost.
Units like centurions were given the right to evolve by chiliarchs.
Immediately afterwards, the two new goblin champions, who had received attribute boosts, volunteered to kill the enemies that the three centurions had failed to kill.
As reported earlier, both goblin champions also died at the hands of the enemy.
"My king, disaster is coming...!" a goblin servant cried out in great sorrow.
Goblin King Gojin slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "No, it's not a disaster."
It's retribution.
Sitting on this throne, it knew that this was originally human territory.
Now, humanity has fought back.
With the newly crowned two-headed goblin champion dead, who would dare send a goblin servant to fight the enemy now?
It would be better to leave all our forces here and wait for the humans to arrive.
At that time, the strongest goblins in the entire empire will be here. If they can still be conquered by humans, then so be it.
Gogin pinched his forehead, his face full of worry.
When did these humans become so powerful?
The invasion of human cities resulted in the deaths of one royal servant and two champions, and now, on the other side of the empire, humans have emerged who can also kill goblin champions.
When did ants, which I used to be able to crush with a flick of my wrist, become so troublesome?
Gogin truly no longer knew how to deal with the enemy.
Actually, if it hadn't been for the siege of City 9 where the Goblin King's servant died, it wouldn't have been so confused.
It was precisely because it knew that the Goblin King's servant might also die that it became hesitant and timid.
Goblins are not a particularly brave race. Compared to the demons who are truly indifferent to life and death, goblins are afraid of dying.
Rather, it's more accurate to say they bully the weak and fear the strong.
They knew it was an easy target and tried to squeeze it hard, but when they kicked a steel plate... they chickened out.
“What about the livestock? Should we send them out?” one of the royal attendants suggested.
Gogin did not answer immediately.
To be honest, it was quite heartbroken when more than twenty orcs died at once last time.
Rather than sending orcs out now, it would be better to use their families to coerce them into fighting against humans when humans invade the heart of the empire in the future.
“No need, they’ll be very useful in the future.” Gogin waved his hand.
"Shall we temporarily withdraw the centurions?" a royal attendant asked.
“Doesn’t that make us look like we’re afraid to oppose them?!” another royal attendant said angrily.
Gogin remained silent, as if deep in thought.
In fact, he had no intention of withdrawing the goblin centurions.
It's very simple. Removing all the centurions is like opening the door wide and letting the other side in.
The fact that the enemy is still killing centurions on the edge of the empire can actually delay their advance into the empire.
Moreover, given the enemy's strength, the centurion was hardly a combatant, so there was no need to withdraw.
Even ants gathered together are still ants, as proved when they attacked human cities; no number of centurions could stop them from killing.
"My king, how about I go and meet these humans?"
At this moment, a goblin royal servant, whose body was noticeably more robust than the other royal servants, stepped forward and looked up at Gojin on the throne.
The other royal attendants glanced at it and immediately felt much more at ease.
The one who stepped forward was not just anyone, but Gomon, the strongest warrior among the Goblin King's servants and a candidate for the next Goblin King.
"Gomon, the strength of humans is unfathomable," Gojin warned.
"Defending our homeland is the duty of us royal servants! These humans are pushing their luck, how can we allow them to slaughter our people?!" Gomon roared.
The other royal attendants' lips twitched.
No, our duty is to assist the king, not to defend the country.
Go ahead and defend your own territory! Don't drag us into it!!
“Ha, well said!” Gogin chuckled, then countered, “So, Gomon, how much do you really know about humanity?”
How do you know that going to fight humans isn't just sending yourself to your death?
"Your Majesty! I have absolute confidence in my own strength!"
Gomon paused for a moment, perhaps realizing that his statement was inappropriate, and then added a sentence.
"If humanity displays strength beyond my expectations, I will flee at all costs!"
It knew that if it didn't say that, Gogin wouldn't let it go after humans.
No matter what, it was a candidate for the next king, so it could guess some of Gogin's thoughts.
It doesn't want to obediently stay here and wait for humans to attack.
"Should we escape with all our might...?"
Gogin closed his eyes again and fell into deep thought.
It wondered, could humans stop the Goblin King's servant as he fled with all his might?
It seems that the royal attendant who was killed in that battle did not try his best to escape.
Escape with all your might and fight head-on are two different things.
While humans might be able to defeat the Goblin King in a head-on confrontation, if the Goblin King were to flee at full speed, it would mean that the opponent would need to be far faster than the Goblin King to catch up.
8. To be honest, it doesn't believe humans have that kind of speed.
but……
But it wasn't quite sure.
If humans truly possess speed and strength far exceeding those of the Goblin King's servants and manage to kill Gomon, then the Goblin Empire will face even greater despair.
Since the other party was able to kill Gomon, it's not hard to predict that they also have the ability to kill Gojin.
Ling seemed to be waiting for Gojin to finish his thoughts, and all the goblins watched it in silence.
Finally, Gogin opened his eyes.
Zhong said, "Alright, I'll allow you to go into battle, but I won't allow you to die on the battlefield!"
"If Q is to die, he will die in front of me, to protect me, do you understand?!" Gojin said solemnly.
u "Yes!"
n……
"Celebrate the slaying of two goblin champions!!"
“Oooooohh ...
At night, in a small town called Ole Town on the edge of the forest, heroes and believers are holding a grand banquet.
Today is a day to celebrate, because it marks the day when the third and fourth Goblin Champions were killed in human history.
Moreover, it was killed by several heroes who had just reached level 50, with almost no help from the Saintess Squad.
Previously, the two Goblin Champions were defeated in a major battle entirely by the two exceptionally strong heroes, the Sword Hero and the Blade Hero, who single-handedly killed them.
This time, however, it was a coordinated team effort that resulted in the kill.
It's not that the previous ones weren't worth celebrating, but this time we all worked together to achieve the victory, so we should celebrate together.
A group of believers surrounded Lycorina, showering her with compliments.
Layton was also drinking and laughing in the crowd.
An Yi sat expressionlessly on a chair at the edge of the venue, quietly watching the crowd.
Miluko, Miluko is gone. She's probably gone back to sleep.
