Chapter 120 - Hidden Chapter of the Korean Server (2) (1/2)

A little later Inho and his men returned from their scouting mission.

“We climbed up to the four tallest buildings in this neighborhood and looked around. A large group of goblins seemed to be coming from Mt. Paldal. It must be clear that they are located inside the mountains.”

Fortunately, the “warlord monsters” generated near the village were the weakest goblins.

If they were as powerful as Orcs, a step higher than them, Sungwoo would find it hard to confront them. Orcs are originally a race that engaged in large-scale wars, so when they increased in number and had a command system, they became incredibly strong.

The warlord monsters threatening Youngdunpo were none other than Orcs. To put it precisely, they were a slightly more powerful tribe called “Red Orcs.” There was a lot of chaos in the southwestern part of Seoul, Kimpo, and Incheon right now because of them.

“A helicopter is supposed to come to pick me up tomorrow morning. Let’s attack Mt. Paldal before the helicopter arrives here. Inho, can you estimate the size of the monsters in Mt. Paldal?”

Inho shook his head and said, “They were hiding among the trees, so I couldn’t observe them completely. However, when they first came out in droves, it seemed they numbered more than 2,000.”

Having heard that, Kyungsu began to add, “And they rode wild boars and there were even wizards there. The wild boars are really annoying. They make up for the goblins who lack the power to break through.”

It was clear that they were not to be taken as the same race as the existing goblins because they were in reinforced conditions as the nickname ‘warlord monsters’ suggested.

So, Kyongsu, Inho, and the village security force, who confronted the goblins only, could not hide their concern.

“No matter how weak goblins are, I’m afraid we are still on the defensive because they are numerically superior to us. When I confronted them, I knew they were well organized.”

Inho also nodded at that, and said, “I feel the same way. There are those in command, such as Chief Goblin and Captain Goblin. All the other goblins follow their direction with great loyalty. Since Sungwoo is with us, I don’t think we will lose, but I think we need to be a little more prudent to win the war instead of fighting in a hurry.”

However, Sungwoo had a different idea.

He said, “Our purpose is not to win the battle.”

“Pardon?”

“I’m going to focus on how much EXP and gold we can collect in the mountains. Not me, but you. Don’t you think this is a good opportunity?”

Kyongsu and Inho realized that the Necromancer in front of them thought differently from the way they thought.

Sungwoo was preparing for hunting, or harvesting, not fighting.

The command system was essential in carrying out a war. Strong leadership and a well-organized command system were essential elements that could qualify a being for the “warlord” title.

The command system given by the system transformed even barbaric monsters such as goblins into a powerful army.

Kruuuuuuuk!

An Orc-sized “Goblin Lord” sat at the edifice of the Tourism Information Center in Paldal Park, called the center of Mt. Paldal. Fifteen “Goblin Captains” lined up on his sides in an imposing manner. As the leadership of the goblin warlords, they gathered in one place now.

“Alright. Let’s blow away that whole building.”

Goblins are a stupid race. They appeared as a large group because of the mainstream, but once their leader was killed, they would most likely turn into a disorderly band of goblins as they used to be.

Based on such assumptions, Sungwoo made a simple plan.

“We’ll start the attack by removing their leader.”

His strategy was to start with killing the boss monster, then destroy the disorderly army under the leader to collect EXP and gold easily.

Sungwoo infiltrated the mountains alone to carry out the operation. The densely wooded mountains was the ideal place where the “Shadow King’s Robe” could show its highest efficiency, so Sungwoo reached the center of the goblin headquarters while avoiding the eyes of the goblin guards.

‘Come out.’

Then, he summoned one of his subordinate spirits from the rooftop of the Tourism Information Center building, where the ranking officers of the Goblin Army gathered.

With black smoke rising in the air, a white giant appeared out of it.

Thump!

It was Ogre Skeleton who was more than eight meters tall.

Kieeeeeeeeeh! Kieeeeeeeeeeh!

The goblins who were camping around the building raised their heads blankly, confused by what was happening.

When Ogre Skeleton lifted his right hand, a blue flash of light began to radiate from his bracelet.

Kieeeeeeh! Kieeeeeeeh!

Frightened, the goblins picked up their weapons hurriedly, but it was too late. When it flashed, a tremendous electric current bounced off and evaporated the whole single-story concrete building.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
