162 Episode 162: "When I tried to defeat the moody Goblin Corps, I got a good name.".txt (1/2)

”Goblins are coming!　There are 12 of them, led by a 'Goblin Lord' with a large sword and a 'Master Goblin' with two swords!

In the village of Nerham at dawn, a shout echoed through the village.

At the same time, the sound of horns resounded from the forest surrounding the village.

...... It's the horn that the beastmen sound when they go into battle.

The elders will tell you.

We are not ringing in Nerham village. This is the work of goblins.

”Beastmen with jet-black ears and tails have been found...!　They're behind the goblins!

Again, additional information.

The report goes on to say that the Black Beastman appeared for a moment and then quickly disappeared.

It's not like we were followed. There was no response to Cecil's ”magic detection” or Rita's ”presence detection”. The guards were solid.

In other words, is this a planned action for the enemy?

''After kidnapping the two of them, we'll use the belongings of the opposing tribes to further attack the village over here. That way, it looks like the beastmen have manipulated the goblins to attack us. ...... I guess.

That's possible, sir.

The elder nodded.

'The young men from the village have just gone to negotiate with the tribes over there, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity. If I hadn't listened to you, I might have thought so.

I'm glad I could help.

I don't want to see a mud-slinging battle between beastmen.

At any rate, our people will stop the enemy. As for our guests, I'd like you to take care of Totori and Rutri.

With that, the elder left the house.

This is the village chief's house in the center of the village.

As soon as we heard about the goblin attack, we were called here. We were told to stay close to Totori and Rutri because they might be attacked by the enemy if they were on the outskirts of the village.

Both of them have just escaped from the goblin village and are scared.

So they want us, their benefactors, to be by their side.

............ ugh.” ”Oh no. No, I don't want to get kidnapped again.

The little beastly girls are shivering in their beds under their blankets.

'It's okay. You two.

Rita sat on the side of the bed.

'Beastmen are strong. They'll take out a goblin in a heartbeat, at least.'

I can go to ...... but those goblins have a secret to their strength.

...... the secret of strength?

I asked, and Totori and Rutri nodded.

I told my grandfather about it, but he laughed at me. But he laughed at me...

You said that joke wasn't funny. I don't think...

With tears in their eyes, they talk about it...

In the woods near Nerham village at the same time. Engaging...

The sword wielded by the goblin tore into the villagers' shoulders.

”These guys........are they 'going berserk'?

The villager shouted.

His sword did indeed slash the goblin's side. But the goblin didn't stop moving.

Its eyes turned red and it attacked as if it didn't feel any pain.

His breathing is heavy. Sneeze, sneeze - as if they were breathing fire.

”The effect of 'berserk' is──an increase in attack power due to anger. Pain blockage, huh!　Cumbersome!

And the two-faced 'Master Goblin' and 'Goblin Lord'!

The inhabitants of Nerham Village are all beastmen.

Both their movements and reaction speed are much faster than normal goblins.

However, the current goblins don't feel any pain, and their speed is accelerated by the increased muscle power of 'berserkerization'.

And if the master goblins in their ”berserk” state and the goblin lord are together...

Archers!　We need your help!

The villagers shouted.

Hyun. Hyu-ruh──, there was a sound of a bowstring.

The arrows hit several goblins. Two of them were pierced in the chest.

It's a fatal wound. You can't fight it for long. And yet...

”Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

Gah!

The goblin who was hit by the arrow swung his sword with all his might.

The beastman who tried to reflexively catch it was sent flying away.

''That's not true. How far have you gone 'berserk' ......?

”Guoaah!　Gua!　Ggaaaaaaah!'

After striking a blow to the villagers, the goblin continued to swing his sword for a while.

Then, after a few minutes, he fell down as if he had run out of power.

Finally, one of them.

There were still more than 10 goblins left that had gone berserk.

Moreover, behind them is an expert goblin with a 'sword skill'. Even more powerful goblin lords - and an invisible black beastman - are waiting in the wings.

''...... What should I do? ......''

Sweat trickled down the foreheads of the villagers.

'Guaaaah!　Goooooooooooooooooooh!　Ggaaaaah!'

'What!　Why in the world are you guys so angry?!

The goblins did not answer that question.

''Ggaaaaah!

The demons scream and slam their weapons at the villagers.

A question mark appears in the villagers' minds. I don't know.

What is the secret behind the goblins' growing ferocity?

At the same time, in the village of Nerham, the home of the elders.

”Those goblins only sleep three hours a day!

Totori and Lutri shouted.

””............ yes?”

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say.

That's the secret of their strength, and that's why they're going berserk with rage.

Totori and Lutri tell me, trembling.

'The 'wise goblin' could speak the language of men.

That's what you were threatening us with.

”'Sleep-deprived goblins are blind. You know what happens when you run away: .......

According to Totori and Lutri, the 'Wise Goblins' are making the goblins 'go berserk' by cutting down on their sleep time.
