Reincarnated as a goblin, but her mother is a white-haired elf?

Within the Shen Yun Forest, ancient towering trees stand like silent guardians.

Their massive canopies intertwine, blocking most of the sunlight, leaving only dappled light and shadow on the thick moss and decaying leaves.

The air was filled with the scent of damp earth and the faint fragrance of wildflowers.

This is a unique scent of nature, making you unconsciously take a deep breath and feel its freshness.

In this vast forest, a group of knights are moving about.

Their armor gleamed coldly in the dim light, and their footsteps rustled on the leaf-strewn ground, breaking the forest's tranquility.

They were one of the twelve knights of the Second Knights of the Northwind Empire, led by Knight Captain Bernard.

Their purpose for this trip was simple.

Search for the goblin who took away the ancient relics and reclaim them.

Find the spirit His Majesty spoke of.

Kill the white-haired goblin.

The rest is fine, but why kill the white-haired goblin?

He doesn't really understand.

But as a knight, all you need to do is obey orders.

Therefore, he did not ask.

Bernard looked around, but there wasn't a trace of elves, or even monsters.

"Why"

He sighed. Searching for a spirit in a forest larger than their country was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And those two goblins, who knows where they went?

By this time, the sun had risen high overhead, and sunlight streamed through the gaps in the treetops, creating dappled beams of light.

Bernard looked up at the sun, then shouted to the knights behind him:

"take a break!"

"Yay!"

Upon hearing their captain's order, the knights stopped and found a relatively clean spot to sit down.

"Finally, I can rest."

They took out the bread from their pockets and began to wolf it down.

Bernard also found a rock to sit on, and he gently took off his helmet and placed it aside.

His face showed fatigue, but his eyes remained firm.

He looked around at the knights, watching them wolf down their food, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

These knights were his closest comrades-in-arms.

They had been through countless life-and-death trials together, and had long since developed a deep understanding and trust.

Captain Bernard

Suddenly, his vice-captain, Kadi, spoke to him:

"I've heard that the white-haired goblin is known as the 'White Reaper,' and almost everyone who has seen him and attacked him is dead."

Kadi lowered his brows, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"He has the ability to instantly kill those at the mature stage."

"And those elves, according to the three captains, are very strong, and that goblin general who suddenly appeared is even more powerful."

"The church's treasures have also been stolen, enraging the church members. I heard they have already sent priests and knights of the Holy Light."

"What do you want to say?"

Bernard looked at Cardi, who had his head down, and asked.

"Will we make it back alive?"

Bernard asked, noticing that Cady's hand was trembling as he gripped the sword.

"Are you scared? You weren't like this before."

"yes!"

Kadi nodded.

"Did you know? Captain Bernard, I'm going to be a dad!"

"What?"

Bernard's eyes widened, then he patted Cardi on the shoulder and congratulated him:

"Congratulations! I'll definitely make up for the gift when I get back."

"Um"

Cardi opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Bernard.

"Don't worry, we will definitely go back."

My family is waiting for me.

As he spoke, Bernard looked at the knights behind him and smiled:

"They, too, all have their own families."

Bernard knew what Cardi wanted to say.

Abandon the search, give up, and run away as soon as you encounter danger.

Their primary concern is protecting their lives; after all, the commander doesn't know what they're doing outside.

As long as we stall until others find the target, or the leader orders us to go back, we can succeed.

can.

What if the commander doesn't give the order and the search continues indefinitely?

What if other teams had the same idea?

He can't keep dragging his feet like this.

Besides, if these things are dangerous to them, aren't they dangerous to others as well?

This is not in line with the chivalry he upheld.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said, and you're not allowed to say it again."

Bernard's tone was calm, but it carried a subtle hint of warning.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Um"

Cardi looked at Bernard and nodded.

"Don't worry, you definitely can."

Bernard's words were not yet fully uttered.

His ears suddenly twitched slightly, as if he had caught some subtle sound.

"Be careful!"

He shouted, and his voice echoed through the quiet forest.

However, his reminder seemed to come a little too late.

A dark figure suddenly darted out from the shadows and pounced on a knight with lightning speed.

The dark figure bared its fangs and bit down hard on the neck, which was exposed beyond the knight's armor.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered like a fountain, staining the surrounding leaves and grass red.

A piercing scream echoed through the forest, sending chills down one's spine.

"You damned goblin!"

The knight closest to the captain roared. His reaction was extremely fast. After Captain Bernard issued a warning, he had already drawn the longsword from his waist.

The sword flashed, slashing towards the goblin with a sharp killing intent.

However, that goblin was exceptionally cunning.

It swiftly raised the knight in its hand and used the knight's body as a shield.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this, the knight had no choice but to stop what he was doing, for fear of accidentally injuring his companion.

"Creak!"

The goblin let out a strange cry, a sound full of sarcasm and provocation.

Its blood-red eyes gleamed with an evil light in the darkness, as if mocking the knight's helplessness and anger.

Just then, a powerful force suddenly descended from the sky and slammed into the goblin.

"Bang!"

After a loud bang, the goblin's entire body flew backward as if it had been struck by a giant hammer.

It traced a long arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Boom!"

The body scraped against the ground with a screeching sound, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Bernard glared at the goblin lying on the ground, his eyes filled with rage and murderous intent.

"What do you take my men for?!"

Magical energy flowed wildly through his meridians, as if trying to break free from his body's constraints.

Unexpectedly, he had just reassured Cardi that everything would be alright.

The next moment, one of his men was killed.

Or was it a low-level goblin monster?!

Bernard gritted his teeth, while the goblin cackled and laughed wildly, yet also seemed to wail.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

To Bernard's astonishment, the red-eyed goblin stood up from the ground.

"What?"

His attack should have pulverized the goblin's bones; even if it survived, it shouldn't be able to stand up. (End of Chapter)
