Zongman: Reincarnation in the Other World, but Goblin

At this time, the priestess became a little timid and began to retreat, holding the staff in her arms.

For some reason, she had a very bad premonition, as if something bad would happen as soon as she entered the cave.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. They're just goblins!"

The brown-haired swordsman patted his chest very happily and said with a nonchalant smile.

"Yeah! They're just goblins. Even if a high-level goblin shaman is born, it's just a matter of firing a few more magic bullets. What's the problem?"

Another iron-level magician raised the staff in his hand, looking full of energy, as if he couldn't help but launch a fireball to blow up the goblin's nest.

"That's right, the sword in my hand is not vegetarian, I will kill as many goblins as you can!"

"What's there to be afraid of? We have 20 Iron-level warriors here. With our strength, we have a definite chance of winning even if we encounter a troll!"

Hearing what her companions said, the plump female fighter also waved her fist and said, "Yes, if you are afraid, just go back to the town and let us divide the gold coins."

At this moment, the female adventurers in this adventurer team have no idea what horrible existence they will face next.

"Okay... then Mina-san, let's get ready and go in!"

When the priestess heard everyone say this, she put aside her worries, encouraged herself, and then spoke to everyone.

……

As this large and expectant team of adventurers prepared to explore the goblin lair in Lorraine in depth, a mysterious and majestic figure walked into the Adventurer's Guild in the border town.

This man wears heavy armor and a huge helmet, which he never takes off even when resting or eating, making his true appearance a mystery.

However, according to the rumors, he is a handsome man with a cold appearance, red eyes and brown hair, giving people a feeling of indifference that is difficult to approach.

He is the man widely known as "Goblin Slayer", a legendary figure in the story of "Goblin Slayer" whose real name is unknown.

He specializes in hunting "Goblins", which are considered the lowest level of monsters. With an almost paranoid determination and wisdom, relying solely on missions to subjugate goblins, he has become famous and reached the status of a formidable gold-level adventurer.

His title not only comes from the fact that he only accepted missions related to "clearing goblins" during his adventurer career, but also reflects his absolute focus and ruthlessness in eliminating goblins.

His eyes, even though covered by a helmet, still revealed a sharpness and indifference, as if he had seen through all hypocrisy and evil.

In his world, goblins are not only prey, but also the meaning of his existence and the source of his struggle.

In this world of adventurers where strength is respected, "Goblin Slayer" is often misunderstood or even discriminated against by other adventurers because of his unique career choice.

In the vast hall of the guild, he was ridiculed by some people as "an expert in cleaning up the trash."

However, in the face of such ridicule, he always maintained an unfathomable calmness, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

His mind and eyes always seemed to stay somewhere far away, filled with his battles and missions.

Goblin Slayer's focus is almost obsessive.

He only takes on work involving goblins, and has an almost obsessive understanding of the ecology and habits of these creatures, which are generally considered low-level creatures.

His preparations beforehand were always so thorough and detailed that they even surprised others.

Before setting off, he always silently checks every piece of equipment to ensure that every prop can be used in a critical moment.

In terms of combat capability, by the standards of male human warriors, the individual combat capability of the "Goblin Slayer" is not outstanding.

He did not have the bravery of a hero, the magic of a magician, or the extraordinary ability of a level 45 "Gold Level Adventurer". His physical strength and stamina were only at the level of an ordinary person after training.

But all this was because he put all his energy and skills into the battle with the goblins.

His equipment is simple but practical. Most of the swords he carries are cheap mass-produced products. Once they are broken, they are turned into throwing weapons. He will then obtain new weapons from goblins.

His treasure backpack is filled with a variety of props, from torches, oil, magic scrolls to gunpowder, flint, poison smoke balls, as well as throwing knives, axes, short bows or crossbows.

Not only that, he also carried unique equipment such as climbing rope spikes, rock spikes, swastika daggers, bows and arrows, concrete, flour, ropes, tear gas, etc.

Each item is prepared to provide crucial assistance to him in his fight against the goblins.

Seeing Goblin Slayer coming back, the worry on the face of the receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild immediately disappeared.

"What's going on? Why are all the new members of the Adventurer's Association gone? Are they out on a mission?"

Goblin Slayer took a look at the situation in the Adventurer's Guild and felt it was a bit strange. Usually there would be a lot of low-level adventurers gathered here, but why didn't he see any today?

"Mr. Goblin Slayer, this is what happened. The Sky Mother Church Alliance just entrusted our Adventurer Association with a special mission. They offer a reward of 100 gold coins and require us to defeat the goblin nest outside the Shadow Forest and rescue the living nuns."

"But according to the intelligence from the Church Alliance, there are a lot of goblins attacking the St. Mary's Church, and there may be advanced goblins. So I am worried whether those new adventurers can be competent for the mission. Can Mr. Goblin Slayer help look after them?"

Upon hearing the request from the lady at the counter, Goblin Slayer did not refuse, and did not even ask if he could get paid.

As long as it was a commission that could kill goblins, the more the better for him.

But now we have to get there faster.

Otherwise, even if there are 20 new adventurers, if they enter the goblin's nest without experience, they are likely to become the goblins' prey!

Chapter 44: The Adventurer Team is Destroyed; Priestess's Wail

"Mina-san! Follow us, don't fall behind, the goblin nest is bigger than we thought."

"Indeed, there should be at least one. Is this not ineffective? But I haven't seen one so far... I don't know why, but it feels a little weird."

"Need I say more? Of course, those goblins have already been frightened and fled deep into the goblin lair when they saw so many adventurers coming with us. Now is a good time for us to chase them!"

The adventurers were full of morale and quickened their pace.

In this way, the team of adventurers came to a fork in the road in the center of the nest. The brown-haired swordsman picked up the torch in his hand and shone it forward.

Because there was no time to prepare, there were only four or five torches in the entire team, which was not enough light for a team of 20 people.

When the brown-haired swordsman illuminated the road ahead, everyone noticed that there was a road sign made of XXL-sized nun's black and white clothing.

"That's it! Those are the clothes of the nuns from Santa Maria Church. They should be over there!"

"These damn goblins actually did such a thing to those holy nuns. I will definitely help the nuns to get revenge later!"

"Everyone, take out your weapons and prepare for battle! Together we will destroy these goblin bastards!"

The team of adventurers was full of fighting spirit. They drew their weapons and walked towards the direction of the signpost.

Little did they know that on the other side of the road, pairs of brown eyes were glowing red!

Because the nuns had just given birth to a large number of goblin cubs, the entire tribe needed a large amount of meat to feed the goblin cubs.

So Lorraine sent out five hunting teams, and a total of 50 goblins were sent out hunting. Now there are only 117 goblins left in the nest who can fight.

With such strength, it is obviously not a wise choice to go head-on with 20 human adventurers, and there is a high possibility that the whole team will be wiped out.

So Lorraine came up with this idea, preparing to lure these human adventurers deep into the goblin's lair and catch them in the trap.

After all, the routes inside the goblin's lair are complicated. On the surface, there is only one passage leading to the innermost part, but in fact, there are secret doors everywhere that lead to other passages. The internal structure can be described as a small maze.

……

Bangta!

Just as the adventurer team was moving forward, there was suddenly some noise around them. The level 15 thief with the most sensitive hearing in the team heard it and immediately raised his hand to signal the team to stop.

However, it was extremely dark inside the goblin's lair. Even with the illumination of torches, visibility was still very low, and it was impossible to see what was happening around.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The highest ranking greatsword swordsman stepped forward and questioned the thief.

"Yes, I just heard some noises that didn't belong to our team. It should be the goblins preparing to take action."

Hearing the thief's words, the greatsword swordsman waved his hand indifferently, looked around, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Don't worry, brother, you are just too nervous. Goblins are still goblins after all."

"Besides, I'm a level 19 Great Swordsman. Even if they do have the brains to sneak attack, I can chop them all into pieces!"

The greatsword swordsman patted the thief's shoulder confidently, but the priestess was still a little worried and said timidly: "Um... Mr. Swordsman, I still think it's better to be careful. After all, we haven't seen a goblin yet, and something might happen..."

"What are you talking about? Are you looking down on me? You're a newcomer who hasn't even reached the silver level yet. Just stay behind the team and let me take care of these goblins!"

Before the greatswordsman could finish his words, a series of low roars belonging to goblins came from behind the adventurer team.

“Guga…Guga…”

"Shaha...Shaha..."

what happened?

There's a Goblin behind?!

The 20 adventurers in the team were all stunned. They all walked along the same road and did not see any goblins on the road. So where did these goblins come from?

Before the adventurers could figure it out, the first goblin's attack had already begun!

A goblin suddenly jumped out from the darkness, pounced on a female archer at the end of the team, and began to tear off her clothes.

"Damn it, you bastard Goblin!"

The male mage who was also standing at the end of the team saw this scene and immediately became angry. He raised his staff and cast a Fireball, which directly hit the goblin's body, knocking him off the female archer and burning him into goblin barbecue.

Seeing that the goblin was destroyed so easily, many adventurers in the team who had never killed a goblin personally also gained confidence.

really!

Those goblins are just as weak as the rumors say!

But just as the adventurers turned around and planned to prioritize getting rid of the goblins at the back of the team, the roar of goblins suddenly came from the front of the team.

When the adventurers saw this situation, they immediately lost their composure. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the greatsword swordsman shouted, "Don't panic, there are just more of us. Goblins are still goblins after all. I will guard the front, and the rest of you in the front row will go to the back to protect our back row!"

Upon hearing the greatsword swordsman's order, all the adventurers immediately sprang into action, splitting into two groups to try to stop the goblin's raid.

Because the goblins suddenly appeared at the back of the team, the magicians, archers, and priestesses in the back were unable to launch attacks, and only the 10 adventurers in the front row were able to exert their combat effectiveness.

As the battle was assigned, the adventurer team gradually stabilized. Except for the two adventurers in the back row who were injured in the initial attack by the goblins, there were basically no more casualties.

On the other hand, the goblins, despite their huge numbers, with more than 20 goblins rushing up at once, were still killed by melee adventurers. The gap in level and race cannot be made up by numbers.

"Hahaha! I told you that these goblins were weak! We killed more than ten of them in just a short while. It looks like this commission will be easy to complete."

The greatsword swordsman said this while waving the greatsword in his hand and laughing wildly.

"Yes! This time it's all thanks to you, Senior, you have done a great job this time!"

The brown-haired swordsman also killed a goblin, wiped the blood off his face, turned around and said to the greatsword swordsman.

"No matter, it's just a small matter..."

But before the greatswordsman could finish his polite remarks, the greatsword he was wielding smashed into the ceiling of the lair with a loud "bang!"

Then, the two-handed sword in his hand fell off. Seeing this, the goblins hiding in the dark immediately seized the opportunity, pounced on him, and knocked down the greatsword swordsman. The rest of the goblins also swarmed over him, and instantly used the iron weapons in their hands to kill this strong and healthy level 19 greatsword swordsman.

"senior!"

The brown-haired swordsman turned around and immediately planned to go back to rescue, but the moment he turned around, an arrow shot his shoulder with a "whoosh".

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The brown-haired young swordsman was hit by an arrow suddenly and let out a violent scream.

This is not over yet. As the first arrow was fired, a large number of goblin archers hiding in the darkness shot towards the adventurer team with the short arrows specially made by Lorraine in their hands.

This sudden change, coupled with the death of the greatsword swordsman, caused the entire adventurer team to lose both sides at the same time. A large number of goblins rushed up and killed all the male adventurers!

As for those female adventurers, the goblins used the wooden sticks and iron bars in their hands to knock them unconscious, and then waited for Boss Lorraine to come and inspect the results himself.

Watching his companions fall one by one, the young priest could only curl up in the corner helplessly, his eyes gradually becoming empty, and he wailed: "Why...why did this happen..."

"Everyone..."

………………

Chapter 45 Capturing the Priestess and the Female Magician

The priestess was trembling at this moment. Because of Lorraine's instructions, Goblin took away her staff to prevent her from suddenly performing a miracle and causing a reversal of the situation.

After all, in the original work, this seemingly harmless little priest had used her miracles many times under the instructions of Goblin Slayer to turn the entire battle situation around. Even a high-level species like the Goblin King was defeated by the cooperation between her miracles and Goblin Slayer.

All the male adventurers around have now become food for the goblin cubs.

It just so happened that there was a shortage of meat in the tribe right now, so they took the initiative to offer their lives.

As for the female adventurers, they would all be given priority for Lorraine to select. In order to allow Lorraine to obtain first-hand information, his subordinates would not even touch them. Throughout the whole process, they would use wooden sticks and the like to knock the weapons out of the hands of these female adventurers, confiscate their weapons and then control them.
