Vol 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)

Is that so, I felt kind of bad asking like this

I only found out after asking oblin warrior was actually the village elder’s son, and at the sae chief

(TL: Village elder and chief are two different positions and in here, the chief is the elder’s son)

Since I’ve found out this much, next is to think about what needed to be done

The village elder didn’t speak, and only silently awaited my decision

I think I’s, but in that pair of muddy old eyes, I could even somewhat see tears… Mn, it’s definitely a hallucination

Tears aren’t fitting for demons

Unruly and defiant, should be the attitude of demons that the humans dread!

“Village elder, I want to confire is saved, what do you plan on giving me?”

It’s not like it’s bad to just casually save them

But, they were dele one Moreover, their numbers were over a hundred

They’re definitely not opponents that could be carelessly treated

Even though I feel like it could work if I mimicked into the black snake… But it’s still not a request I can accept haphazardly

“We’ll offer you our loyalty!”

To be honest, that kind of thing, it doesn’t make me happy even if I receive it

However, the me after ninety days of loneliness, indeed felt that it’s pretty pleasant to chat with goblins

If I was still human, I would probably stay at a respectful distance away from them, out of concern for cleanliness

But I’ht now, and have no need to worry about diseases

What’s e elder’s expression in his eyes, indeed transhts to me

I recalled my past life

No ainst other people’s pleas

Even thoughthem

“Alright, your request, I’ll accept it!”

I nodded greatly

Just like this, I becaoblins

The ruler of the eastern plains

They were the source of trouble for the peddlers of the Eastern E the Great Jura Forest

Each one of theth of around a C-rank Even experienced adventurers would lose their lives in one strike if they weren’t careful

But, the essence of their threat comes from their movements as a pack

When a leader with great co Wolf tribe exhibit their true worth

As a group, they turn into a ferocious demon, and there wouldn’t even be a trace of disorder in their movements

For Fang Wolves who forh to reach B-ranked

The eastern plains bordered the extensive granary fields

Therefore, it could be considered as the Earrison was flawless

NoWolf tribe were, they still wouldn’t be able to break through the Eh, they would invoke the rage of the e completely annihilated

The Fang Wolf tribe’s leader understood this very clearly

This hat he had deeply learned from small skirmishes with the empire over the past few dozens of years

If they were only to attack sroups of merchants, the empire would only turn a blind eye However, if they trespassed even half a step into the granary fields, the es

It was an idiotic action that his own kind had made countless times before

That was how the leader thought

However, with the instincts of demons, they understood that if this kept up, their tribe’s evolution would be stopped right here

For the Fang Wolf tribe, there was originally no reason for them to eat

Attacking and eating huht snack

After all, the huic essence

For the Fang Wolf tribe, eating was absorbing ic essence

It was to either attack stronger dee numbers of humans Those were the only tays for them to evolve into [Calamity] ranked demons

But if this went on, it would be hard to proceed with either method

For the Fang Wolf tribe, the E scattered merchants like this, to evolve into a [Calamity] ranked demon, was just a pipe dream

To the south were fertile lands, and it was said to be a haven for deet there, they h the Great Jura Forest

The demons inside the forest were not a proble the demons there As to the reason why they didn’t move until now ——

[Storon] Verudora

The existence of that dragon was the reason for everything

Even though it was sealed, the oic power made them afraid

The demons inside that forest, all firmly believed that they were under the protection of Verudora Therefore, they were able to safely live inside that ferocious fluctuation

If they didn’t believe it so firone mad in an instant

And it was that presence until now, that obstructed their footsteps of invasion

That’s right, until now…

The leader watched the forest with its keen blood-red eyes

That sinister fluctuation had now vanished without a trace

If it’s now, it may even be possible to hunt all the demons within that forest, and beco this, it licked its tongue, and let out a howl of onslaught

Then, what should I do after becoe, it’s probably okay to just act like a bodyguard However, I don’t knohy the village elder’s response was soerated

All in all, I oblins ere capable of battle

From far away, everyone all looked tattered It’s si force

But, what’s left, are only the elderly and children… And it’s also ies

In this kind of despairing situation, fro crazy is already very adh food even if they wanted to escape, and in the end, they could only starve to death

Just like this, the suazed at me with faith in their eyes

This burden is too much

To me who has yet to experience any pressure and lived freely until today, this sort of gaze is precisely a heavy pressure

“Everyone, should have all understood the situation now, right?”

Because this isn’t a comedic atmosphere, and I can’t think of any ways to resolve it, I could only ask some simple questions

“Yes! We are deterht to the death!”

The goblin chief answered immediately

It sees

Even though so that couldn’t be helped After all, fear is an instinct of living beings

“No need to be nervous, relax No matter how nervous you are, once you are defeated it can’t be changed All you need to do is to think about right now is how to do your best!”

I slightly showed off a bit

Both my body and mind are currently very relaxed anyway, and maybe, this would have a better effect

Then, let’s begin……

If we fail, the fate of the goblins will end here……

Even so, I will still tra

Because I have already decided to rebelliously live on!

Alright! I gathered oblins their first order

At the saive countless times in the future

The leader of the Fang Wolf Tribe opened its eyes

Tonight was a full

After slowly getting up, it glanced at the surroundings

The otherWolf Tribe observed the leader’s actions without taking a single breath

This atmosphere is not bad

The leader thought

Tonight, we shall destroy that goblin village, and set up a stronghold in Great Jura Forest

After that, all we need to do is to steadily hunt the surrounding demons to become the true rulers of the forest

Of course, invading the south will need to be taken into the plans

They, had the power to make it possible

Because their sharp claws, can tear apart any de armor

“Uoooo——————!”

The leader howled

It is tie

But, there also existed an element of unease

A few days ago, their kins ere sent to scout, brought back information worthy of concern A sy appeared in the forest

The deave out, even far surpassed itself who is the leader

That is definitely impossible, the leader did not take it to heart

In this forest, that kind of threat simply could not be detected What had been encountered were all weaklings; fro until now, there wasn’t even any decent resistance At oblin surrounded and killed a few of the so, the leader changed its sight to its front

The village can already be seen

It is identical to the inforht back by the scout

It was the location that was confirth of this village, was nothing to fear at all

The leader is very sly, it did not beco the way between it and the village

That’s soes…… Fences It seee, and constructed it urgently

And in front of the entrance of the fences, a slime blocked the way

“Okay~ stop right there As long as you go back the way you came from, I won’t pursue the matter any further!”

The slime talked

Acting like it is smart

The leader snorted with disdain

Only by creating a barrier It wishes to stop the attack just with that?

In the end, it’s just so

Then I will let you witness our power! Thinking that, it gave the order

As if transforan the attack

The gathering of the Fang Wolf Tribe would beco its true value

The reason why this was possible, was all due to the effect of 【Thoughts Transht, they could carry out orders faster

The first attack should have already destroyed the fences

However, the leader as i like rats, suddenly revealed a shocked expression The unit that attacked the fences were repelled Around while spewing out bloodied foam

What exactly is going on? The leader hurriedly began to observe

The slime at the entrance did not make any movements at all

Is it not done by that fellow?

One of his subordinates walked up and reported

(It’s precisely that fellow! It’s that felloho gave off a deer than Boss!)

What kind of joke is that! Thinking that, it looked towards the slime

A small weak demon that commonly appears on the plains

Just based on thee An insignificant existence

This guy actually has a stronger deed

The leader of the Fang Wolf Tribe was an extremely sly demon

Using the experience accuh many years, he developed elaborate and e to calmly put them into practice

Based on this experience, from the information on this slime, it did not see any aspects that surpassed itself

At this est, and most fatal mistake of his entire life

And this mistake, also determined its own fate

(Just a mere slime —— see how I’ll tear you into pieces!!)

Ahh, that scared me

I didn’t expect that they’d suddenly attack Even though I acted cool and warned them to return the way they came from, they simply didn’t even bother to listen

The Fang Wolf Tribe began to attack the fences from all directions

I clearly prepared to settle it with negotiation, and they o to waste

I had worked really hard on practicing the the construction, you know

My first order, was for the me to the injured

Even though there were sixty of theing in the construction efficiency But since everyone was sowithin their abilities as much as possible

The injured, were all placed in a building that seeienic

They had tentatively used some sort of herb medicine for treatment But… if this continues, they will undoubtedly die

The wounds are deeper than I had iined The parts that looked like scratches and bite wounds had already begun to fester

Seean to treat everyone

First, I sed the one in front ofhim well in recovery medicine, I spat him out

The village elder seean to s and spit them out sequentially

After healing a few of them, I turned around and only saw that……

For so down

What exactly are these guys doing?

It seeht that I possessed the power of resurrection

This is seriously troublesome I directly spat out several recovery medicine, and made them treat the patients themselves

In the end, even though it took some time, we still conducted treatment for everyone

After that, I issued new instructions to the goblins

Which was to set up fences Unfortunately, there was no time to cut down anymore trees so they could only be s

Without any hesitation, I ordered them to take apart their houses and utilize the scrap materials to construct the fences

An enore was also drawn as a mark for placement

Taking the gaps of tiood at bows as sentinels

The opponents are wolves and their noses were very keen I ordered the them multiple times not to push themselves

I felt that each and every one of the to die in valor on their faces They’re really an exaggerated bunch

In the afternoon of the second day after I visited the village, the fences were complete

I used spider web to reinforce and fix the fences in place while increasing its strength

Coincidentally, I set up 【Steel Silk】 traps in unnoticeable areas If they rush into the fence unknowingly…… Heh heh

After the battle ends, I must remember to quickly retract them

An opening was set on the front side of the fence

Once 【Sticky Silk】 finished speckling here, then the preparations will be finished

Next up was to wait for the sentinels’ report

During this tiradually recovered and awakened They touched their bodies with faces full with disbelief It seeood

I had initially thought that more applications of theeffect It really is a miscalculation that makes one happy

After that, we gathered the leftover nited the, but now is not the time to think about that

Soht

Because I do not need sleep, I suggested that I myself should do it However

“Absolutely not! How can we let Ris!”

“That’s right! Just leave the guarding to us, Rio rest!”

Yeah! That’s right! The surrounding reactions were intense

Even though I am really happy for their concern, they should be quite tired already No choice, I set up a shi+fts system, and made them rest respectively

Late at night, the scouts came back

According to their report, the Fang Wolf Tribe have already started to move

Although they ounded a little, everyone was safe

I had initially that they were just clumsy and filthy demons but I’ve really experienced a lot from them in these two days

If possible, I still hope that all of theh this crisis

Thinking so, I set up the 【Sticky Silk】 at the opening

Well, that’s probably all of the preparatory work

Since the battle has begun, there’s no choice but to follow the initial plan

Even though I orried that the strength of the fences were not strong enough, it wasn’t destroyed by the Fang Wolf Tribe Seehted relaxed

For now, all of these ithin predictions Not only did the space set between the fences block the enemies’ attack, they also created the opportunity for retaliation…

If it’s this space, no oblins are, they could still attack the ene Wolves who got caught and fell while screa miserably Naturally, there were squads who tried to forcefully break through by squeezing through, but they were left to the goblins armed with stone axes on both sides that were responsible for cutting their heads off

Even though they only practiced for about two hours, they all worked very hard They tried pretty hard to understand my words and carried them out Now is the time for their hard work to pay off

The Fang Wolves are indeed strong Every one of theth of ten

If grouped up, their battle strength will even more so increase by another dimension

However, since just a single one of the, then you just need to overwhel, then it’s all good if you don’t let them form a pack In simple terest organise (ED: Pfft)

How really unlucky…… Thinking so, I leisurely looked at the leader of the Fang Wolves

A mere wild beast, and yet it wants to defeat me…… What nerves it had

The leader of the Fang Wolf Tribe, panickedly looked at the situation which was opposite froined

The subordinates had already begun to waver

It’ll be bad if this carries on

The reason why the Fang Wolf Tribe could show its true potential, is precisely because they are a pack Their distrust in their leader, will directly result in the worst outcome

The leader understood this very well and thus, it ht here

Was it angry that his subordinates were useless? Or was it afraid that his companions will push all the blame onto him?

Anyways, it decided to display its power in this place

It itself was the strongest existence in this pack and it was strong enough even when alone

In that instant, the victor had been decided

My eyes focused on the leader of the Fang Wolf Tribe from the start

Even so, to the surrounding goblins, it probably looked as if that the opponent had disappeared

But toto look at, it’s so slow that I almost yawned

Everything is just as planned

The current situation, has indeed proceeded as per one of the scenarios I had envisioned at first

It was using the sticky silk traps at the opening to capture the leader of the Fang Wolf Tribe Although with its strength, it ht be possible for it to easily break free from the 【Sticky Silk】

I didn’t have any ways to confirm that, but it’s fine even if it could do so The aim of 【Sticky Silk】 was merely to seal his movements, even if it was just for a instant

If 【Water Blade】 was released and dodged by it when it’sBesides, it would be bad if it hits one of us instead What’s needed on the battlefield is flexibility

But it seems like I had worried too much

These fellows couldn’t even break the fences Although I had considered setting up 【Steel Silk】traps at the opening, that trap isn’t enough to have the effect of a fatal blow, so it’s fine this time

In this kind of situation, it’s necessary forThe 【Sticky Silk】 trap was exactly made for this

I used 【Water Blade】without hesitation and chopped down the leader’s head

It was very easy, and there wasn’t even any decent resistance

“Listen well! Fang Wolf tribe! Your leader is already dead! I will now give you a chance to choose Will you choose to submit? Or will you choose death!”

Now then, hoill these fellas respond?

If they still want to take revenge for their fallen leader, it would become really troublesome

There are noWolf tribe

Not very reassuring eh… Will they go 【We’ll rather die than to subether?

Then it’d really become a battle in all aspects

The nue I’m afraid that many lives would be lost

I had h on’t lose, I still wish to avoid this sort of less conflict as much as possible

As if the battle just noere si Wolves stared at me

I slowly h I don’t knohat this scenery looks like in their view, all in all, I must make them understand that I am more powerful than their leader

I ca Wolf leader’s corpse unimpeded, and wasn’t obstructed by anyone

The individuals near the leader’s corpse had even consciously retreated a step back

I, sed the corpse in its entirety This act, could be said as the legitie of an victor

【analysis co Wolf At the sa Force】

In e】’s voice sounded See Wolf’s abilities

The Fang Wolves, even when their leader had been eaten right before their eyes, didn’t move at all

I had originally thought that since it has come to this, they should only have two choices of either escaping fro toward us driven by fear

Ah! Right! I think I had said so like either submit or die earlier!?

Oh no… I got too carried away, how do I wind this matter up now…

No choice, I’ll have to leave you guys with an escape route Thinking this, IWolf

Then, I roared using 【I Force】

“Kukuku, listen well! Only this tio If you don’t submit to me, quickly retreat from here!”

They’ll finally run away like this, right? However, the reality still deviated from my predictions

(We’ve all decided, to vow submission toward you!)

Acco Wolves laid down Even though it looked like they were only lying down to sleep…

Seems like, they’ve all chosen to sub earlier, because they were holding a ood as long as we aren’t fighting anymore

Just like this, the Battle at the Goblin Village came to an end

Why exactly is this?

What’s troubleso up the mess after a battle

Who is it? That guy who ordered for all the houses to be dismantled… Hereon after, what do you plan to do?

Starting frooblins sleep?

Moreover, ill be taking care of the newcomers?

Even though they suffered heavy casualties, eighty of them still survived

In this case… Anyways, today is already over! Plans for the future, can be put aside until these guys wake up

All in all, I firstWolves, they were ordered to standby at the outskirts of the village

Morning of the second day

After a night of thinking, the answer I’ve arrived to was… A plan to let the goblins tend to the Fang Wolves!

The total nuoblins who are capable of combat is seventy There were no casualties yesterday, and the injuries were at ht scratches

As for the surviving Fang Wolves, there are eighty-one

Even though this side had a lot of injured, they were quickly healed after applying a little bit of recovery medicine

See Wolve Tribe’s self-regeneration ability was also very great

The goblins that aere made to line up

Non-combatants were s were already dis like a flatland, it’s too eye-catching

The village elder stood by my side

It seems like he wanted to take care oftaken care of by a goblin uncle My sense of aesthetics, is still the same as my previous life

Even if I’ve reincarnated into a deive in But, ah, there aren’t any cute girls at all in deive up on this one

In front of the lined up globins, I called the Fang Wolves here

“Um~ From now on, you will form a team”

I tried to observe the response

They were probably waiting for htest of movements

There weren’t any who resented to for a team, seems like there should be no problems

“Do you understand what I mean? In short, it’s a team of two”

HearingWolves who sat before them looked at each other

Following the corouped up into teams of twos

The so-called 【yesterday’s enemy is today’s friend】 That sounds a little off… Well, it’s roughly like that in general

Right at this uys, could it be that they don’t have names?

Feels like it’s going to be very inconvenient to call them

Taking the opportunity as the Fang Wolves and Goblins were getting used to each other, I asked the village elder

“Village elder, it feels like it’s going to be very inconvenient to call you guys, so I want to give you names Is that okay?”

Suddenly, all of the surrounding gazes simultaneously focused toward me

“I-is that really… okay?”

The village elder asked back with an expression of being overwhelmed by awe and excitement

What’s happening? Why is everyone so excited?

“Oh, of course it’s okay”

The instant that I answered like this, the goblins that were fixedly looking toward here suddenly exploded in cheers

Why exactly is this?

If you want naive yourself names?

I, at this time, had not yet noticed the severity within

Starting froe elder first

I tried asking for the nauru】 So the village elder will just be called 【Liguru·do】 = Ligurudo There were no other ue easier so it was just arbitrarily decided like this

If he had children, then the children will be nauru, then he himself will add a 【Do】 onto his own naly made name, I didn’t think that it would actually be taken seriously And also…

“I never thought that my son would also be allowed to inherit this name, really, thank you so much!”

A burst of guilty conscience suddenly struck me…

Just like this, the Goblin Chief’s nauru】 Because it’s too bothersoeneration’s nauru For soratified posture of prayer toward erated pair of father and son (TL note: The Goblin Chief is the Goblin Elder’s second son, and thus Liguru The latest generation of this fauru, and the parent will becourudo)

I started na with it, I also named the mothers and children, bachelors and orphans ere spectating from the side

These guys, I wonder exactly how long can they keep passing on the names…?

If the village elder got a grandchild, he’ll becoe elder will beco a little speechless oes

Just like this, I continued giving names

Right at this time

“Rimuru-sama… is it really okay?”

The village elder Ligurudo asked with a slightly panicked tone

“What’s up?”

“No, uic power… But, to naht?”

What exactly is he saying? It’s only giving names, what exactly…

“Mu? Well, it should be fine right”

Saying that, I continued the task

After that, Ligurudo had an expression of wanting to talk and hesitating fro to end, but I didn’t mind it

Just like that, the goblin’s na Wolf Tribe’s turn

Their new leader, is the previous leader’s son

With a robust body similar to its father, even their style was somewhat similar

Looking at its golden pupils, I thought about names

Right! Since it’s Fang of the Stor was so of the Stora in JP)

My surna of the Storm

Oh well, whimsical is probably all I can do, since I really don’t have any taste in na

The instant I naa】, there was sudde
