Zongman: Reincarnation in the Other World, but Goblin

His voice was full of excitement, as if he had already seen himself bravely killing enemies on the battlefield and contributing to the glory of what Lorraine called the "Goblin Empire".

"Now is not the right time. We have to wait until nightfall to act. Also, pick out the two fastest runners from among you guys and have them follow my instructions later."

As he spoke, Lorraine's gaze turned to the already dark sky, as if he was estimating the time, and then he looked again at the goblins following behind him. He had already planned his next move in his mind.

Although Sanmao Goblin and the other goblins were eager to join the battle immediately, their trust in Lorraine made them choose to obey. Every goblin's face was filled with anticipation for the upcoming action and desire for Nako.

After hearing Lorraine's order, the goblins in the team began to whisper, discussing who would be the two lucky ones chosen to carry out Lorraine's special order.

As night fell, the entire Shadow Forest was shrouded in a thick darkness.

Tonight was particularly lucky. Even the moon that usually hung in the sky seemed to have hidden itself, leaving no light at all, providing perfect cover for Lorraine's upcoming sneak attack.

Goblins are creatures with night vision. To them, darkness does not bring any visual obstacles. Instead, everything is as clear as day.

Their sharp eyes flashed yellow in the darkness, like ghosts in the forest at night, stealthy and deadly.

In contrast, the vision of human soldiers was greatly weakened at night, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, which provided the goblins with a godsend advantage.

Lorraine stood at the front of the goblin team, observing the dense darkness around him. He knew that this was the best time to launch an attack.

So, Lorraine waved his hand gently, sending out the signal that had been agreed upon long ago. All the goblins were preparing nervously and excitedly, and each goblin could not contain his inner excitement.

Under Lorraine's command, these small creatures, which are usually despised by humans, are preparing to use their wisdom and courage to launch a surprise night attack on human soldiers.

As Lorraine swept his deep gaze, the entire goblin team, like beasts endowed with life, sneaked silently towards the human soldiers in the wooden house.

"Wow!! Wow!"

The two goblins that were selected directly broke open the wooden door of one of the wooden houses. The human soldiers who were on guard inside the house also reacted immediately, picked up the iron swords beside them and became alert.

However, when he saw that the attackers were only two goblins less than one meter tall, he immediately relaxed his vigilance.

"What? They are just two little goblins. They came here to die."

The human soldier held the iron sword, narrowed his eyes, and said contemptuously.

The four human soldiers who were still in bed were also awakened at this time. They ran to the side of the night watch soldier and were about to put on their equipment when they found that they were two goblins.

However, before the human soldiers came over to launch an attack, the two goblins began to follow Lorraine's instructions and took off the tattered cloth tied around their waists, revealing the racial pride underneath.

This is not the end. The two goblins also made an "OK" gesture, mocking the human soldiers, as if to say: "Yours is only this short~"

Seeing this scene, the five human soldiers were all angry!

As much as they don't want to admit it, the goblins have a huge advantage.

Even though these two goblins are less than one meter tall, their weapons are 20 centimeters long, much taller than those of ordinary humans.

(PS: For every monthly ticket you cast, the Goblin God will bless you and make your weapons grow 1 cm.)

Feeling insulted, the five human soldiers didn't even put on their armor. Instead, they picked up the long swords beside them and slashed at the two goblins.

The two goblins who were chosen to run the fastest, seeing that their goal had been achieved, ran away as fast as they could.

The five human soldiers didn't care about anything else. They picked up the torches beside them and chased after them.

……

Chapter 17: Legendary Item [Magic Stone]

The silence in the night was suddenly broken by a slight movement, and the five human soldiers in the wooden house next door were startled.

They reacted immediately and quickly put on their armor, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.

Following the sound of the door being pushed open, they rushed out of the cabin together, looking around vigilantly, trying to find the source of the sound.

"What happened?"

One of the soldiers asked loudly, with a serious tone in his voice.

The human soldiers who were chasing after them responded hastily, their voices coming through the night sky————"Don't worry, it's just two little goblins that broke in. You guys go back and rest, we'll handle this."

There was a hint of contempt in their words, and it was obvious that they did not regard the goblins as a big threat.

Hearing that they were just weak goblins, the other soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in their hearts dissipated.

They exchanged relaxed and joking glances with each other, as if they had already made light of this little commotion.

"You're really making a mountain out of a molehill. I thought something big had happened."

A human soldier smiled and shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Just as the soldiers relaxed in the wooden house and began to take off their heavy armor, looking forward to a good night's sleep, a sudden impact suddenly broke the silence of the night.

The door was violently pushed open in an instant, and wave after wave of goblins poured in like a flood, their eyes glowing yellow in the darkness, eager for battle.

"Oh no, it's a goblin attack!"

The soldiers cried out in surprise; this sudden change caught them off guard.

They hastily grabbed the nearest iron swords and shields. Although they had not had time to put on their armor, everyone's eyes flashed with an indomitable will to fight, ready to meet the upcoming battle. It was enough to show that this team of human soldiers had good combat effectiveness and was an elite-trained team of soldiers.

"Quick, form a defensive formation!"

The soldiers shouted to each other, trying to quickly organize effective resistance within the limited space.

While they were busy trying to set up defenses, Lorraine, who was lurking outside, was ready.

With a low shout, "Thunder Control Technique!" a fierce bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, like lightning in the night sky, and directly hit a soldier who was trying to set up a formation, knocking him away and instantly destroying the formation that the human soldiers had barely established.

Seeing this, the other goblins seemed to be inspired by some signal. They rushed towards the remaining four human soldiers as if they had seen their brides on their wedding night. With an irrepressible desire to fight, they launched a fierce attack on the four human soldiers who were still in chaos.

At this moment, the battle in the wooden house became extremely fierce.

Although the human soldiers were brave, the situation became increasingly serious due to the double blow of insufficient preparation and the goblin's sudden attack.

Although the night provided the goblins with an opportunity to strike first, the soldiers' racial and rank advantages were still there.

The reaction and fighting power they demonstrated in emergency situations did indeed cause considerable obstacles to the goblin army's attack.

After a brief confrontation, several goblins inside and outside the wooden house had fallen under the soldiers' swords. The goblins' blood dyed the ground green. The tragic scene was unbearable to watch.

Seeing that his troops began to suffer losses, Lorraine did not care to save his strength. He gathered the power of thunder and lightning in his hands again and activated the [Thunder Control Technique]. A current faster than before cut through the night sky and accurately hit a human soldier who was wielding a weapon. The powerful current not only knocked him away, but also affected the two goblins beside him, turning them into electric chicken boys.

Although this attack came at the tragic cost of the death of two goblins, it finally created an obvious flaw in the human soldiers' defensive formation.

The goblins seized this opportunity and rushed towards the remaining soldiers like a tide, drowning them in a frenzy.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!! No!”

“A mere small fry goblin! How dare you… ugh… Aaaaah!!!”

“No…no, stop! Help! Ahhhhh!!”

As the battle continued, the sounds inside the cabin gradually changed from the chaotic sounds of fighting to the painful cries of human soldiers.

On the ground, the green blood of goblins and the red blood of humans were intertwined, broken limbs were everywhere, and the battle scene was horrific.

But before Lorraine could take stock of the battle scene, the voices of the human soldiers could be heard from outside:

"Huh~ These two goblins can really run. We've been chasing them for so long. Let's go out and take a look."

However, when these human soldiers pushed open the wooden door with the heads of the two fast-running goblins in their hands, the purgatory-like scene before them immediately frightened the leading human soldiers out of their wits.

He could never have imagined that mere goblins would dare to take the initiative to attack the camp of human soldiers.

"But... Damn it! You actually..."

Before the human soldier could continue speaking, Lorraine issued a new order. The remaining 20 goblins ambushed outside the house, together with the remaining goblins inside the house, attacked the five human soldiers...

The battle ended without any suspense. Lorraine used three strategies in succession, namely, provoking the enemy, luring the enemy away from the mountain, and defeating them one by one, and finally captured this abandoned mine.

Throughout the battle, Lorraine lost a total of 13 goblins, 2 of which were disabled, and 10 human soldiers were wiped out.

As the dust settled from the battle, Lorraine did not let the goblins boast for too long, but immediately began to organize follow-up actions.

He sent some goblins into the depths of the abandoned mine to explore whether there were any remaining iron ore resources that could be used.

At the same time, he also assigned other goblins to clean up the battlefield, collect equipment and supplies left behind in the battle, and ensure that all useful things were collected and prepared to be transported back to the goblin's nest.

After a night of hard work, as the first light of dawn appeared, Lorraine and his goblin team reaped a rich harvest.

Not only did they collect a large amount of dry food and clothing, providing the tribe with necessary reserves for the coming winter, they also collected the equipment of 10 human soldiers. These equipment played an obvious role in improving the combat effectiveness of the goblin warriors.

What surprised Lorraine even more was that they actually found a small bag of wheat seeds. For the goblins who had long relied on gathering and hunting, this meant the possibility of a completely new lifestyle.

Of course, ordinary goblins don’t grow wheat, but Lorraine, as a time traveler, can!

Just when Lorraine was feeling proud of the results of this operation, the three-haired goblin that had been sent to explore the abandoned mine came running back excitedly.

"Boss Lorraine! Boss Lorraine! We found iron ore!"

The three-haired goblin shouted excitedly, holding a piece of ore in his hand.

He ran quickly to Lorraine, raised his head, and stared at Lorraine with eyes full of expectation, as if waiting for his praise.

Lorraine looked closely and saw that the piece of ore in the Sanmao Goblin's hand was faintly emitting colorful light.

This Thomas is not iron ore at all!

"System, analyze this ore."

After receiving Lorraine's order, the system immediately began to scan the ore, and the scan results soon appeared in front of Lorraine:

[Item Name: Arcane Conduit Stone]

【Level: Legend】

[Source: Ancient Relics]

[Attributes: Magic Power Amplification: +50%, Spell Cooldown Reduction: -20%, Mana Recovery Rate: +30%]

[Feature: Magic Resonance: When the wearer casts a spell, there is a 25% chance that no mana will be consumed.

Secret Leak: The Magic Stone continuously leaks faint magical light and energy, and nearby mages or sensitive creatures can sense its presence. 】

[Description: In the ancient times of the Xiaer Continent, a forgotten magic civilization gave birth to the magic stone. This ore contains rich and pure magic power, and is a treasure that all wizards dream of. The appearance of the magic stone is deep blue-purple, and there seems to be light spots flowing inside, beautiful and mysterious.

Due to its powerful magic amplification ability, the magic stone is extremely rare among ancient wizards and often becomes the focus of competition. It can not only greatly enhance the magic efficiency of wizards, but also become the key to turning defeat into victory at critical moments.

However, the powerful power of the magic stone does not come without a price. It will constantly leak out weak magic light and energy, making it difficult for the user to hide from the enemy and easily become a target for others to track. Therefore, although it gives the user great power, the user also needs to have enough wisdom and strategy to control this power and avoid becoming the target of greedy people. 】

Chapter 18 triggers the task, taste Freya's jade feet!

What the hell!

When Lorraine saw the introduction of the system panel, he couldn't help but feel happy.

I was wondering why King Giorlar sent such an elite team to guard an abandoned mine. It turns out there are treasures hidden in the mine!

No wonder there wasn't a single sorcerer or magician in this well-equipped team of soldiers, only swordsmen. It turned out to be because of this reason: they were afraid that this treasure would be discovered by others.

Moreover, King Giorar did not dare to hide the magic stone in the castle, otherwise it would be in danger if it was noticed by the kings of other powerful countries.

From the information provided by the system, Lorraine learned that the Kingdom of Giorar was located at the border of human territory and demon territory, so the national strength was not very strong. The only thing it could show off was probably a large number of fully armed soldiers, after all, they had to frequently resist the harassment of the demons.

"Very good, you found this piece of ore. I'll give you two loaves of bread. Go to the back and get them yourself."

Lorraine patted the three hairs on the three-haired goblin's head, took the legendary [Magic Stone] from his hand, then pointed to the pile of trophies behind him and spoke lightly.

Two loaves of bread in exchange for a priceless [Magic Stone] of ancient legendary quality. When the capitalists come, they will personally put on a black tall hat and single-sided glasses for Lorraine.

"Thank you, Boss Lorraine! It's so fun to follow Boss Lorraine!"

The Sanmao Goblin was not angry at all, but was very happy instead.

Because bread, the most common food among humans, is a rare commodity among the goblins who cannot farm or produce anything.

Even if they were lucky enough to snatch a few pieces of bread from adventurers, they would usually be snatched away by the Goblin Shaman, leaving only some unpalatable raw meat and furs for other goblins.

After Lorraine properly placed the extremely precious [Magic Stone] into the system space, his gaze turned to the three-haired goblin and his companions who came to report.

"What about the ore? Have you found no iron ore?"

At this time, Lorraine still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, expecting to gain more besides the unexpected magic stone, otherwise he would not be able to mass-produce bows and arrows.

The three-haired goblin looked up from chewing bread with his mouth still full of food. He answered as he ate, "Chew, chew, chew... Boss Lorraine, chew, chew, chew... We have been searching in the mine all night, chew, chew, chew... Apart from this special stone, we have not found any other minerals."
