He knew that in such an environment, any loosening could indicate a potential crisis.
Standing beside him was an elite force of the tribe's fiercest warriors.
Gobmao, known for his immense strength and courage;
Gobuichi, though young, possesses quick reflexes and superb archery skills;
Rimuru, skilled in the use of various healing herbs, is the survival expert of the team;
Gobda, on the other hand, is a tactician, possessing the wisdom to plan battles;
Lanya is known for its sword-sharp teeth and bestial fighting instincts.
Lorraine checked everyone's equipment, made sure everyone was ready, and then gave the order to move forward.
The troops moved slowly deeper into the forest, taking every step carefully, trying not to attract any unnecessary attention.
Meanwhile, Benimaru, Souei, and Shirao stayed around the tribe.
The three of them are veterans in the tribe. Although they are old, they are experienced, especially playing a vital role in the defense of the tribe.
Hongmaru was in charge of monitoring the northern path, while Souei hid in the woods on the east side, ready to provide support at any time, and Bai Lao built a simple observation post and monitored the developments in the southwest with his sharp eyes.
The atmosphere within the tribe was tense and depressing.
The wounded soldiers lay in makeshift tents, and some young warriors and villagers, with the help of tribal elders and healers, tried their best to take care of them.
Women and children in the tribe also had to take on more responsibilities. They urgently organized logistics support in the village to ensure the supply of food and water.
Lorraine's troops marched through the forest for several hours, the air filled with the moist smell of humus and unknown threats. Suddenly, Lan Ya's ears moved, signaling the team to stop.
He growled softly and pointed toward a bush ahead.
Gob-I quickly nocked an arrow, while Gob-Mao raised his huge battle axe and looked around vigilantly.
Soon, Lorraine and his team encountered a slave caravan that was armed to the teeth.
Every member of the caravan was dressed in iron armor and held gleaming weapons. Their equipment was extremely sophisticated, exuding a cold and ruthless aura.
Inside the luxurious carriage, a pot-bellied businessman sat in debauchery, with a cunning and complacent smile on his face, as if he was enjoying some twisted pleasure.
Following behind the carriage is a row of seemingly ordinary freight cars, but these are not used to transport ordinary goods. Instead, they act as cages.
Seeing this scene, even Lorraine, who wanted to become the king of the harem, couldn't help but look downcast.
Now that the Shadow Forest is facing an unprecedented crisis, these human slave traders, instead of taking any countermeasures, took the opportunity to capture the Ice Wolf Tribe and profit from it.
These bastards are doing all kinds of evil. It seems that I, Goblin, have to get rid of them today!
Of course, the main reason is for the sweet and soft little ice wolf Setsuna.
The hero saves the beauty and embraces her in an instant.
This is such a wonderful thing!
So, Lorraine began to use his [Magic Eye] to observe, knowing both himself and the enemy, and winning every battle.
……
Heavy iron chains were locked on those simple wooden cages, holding ragged slaves.
Their expressions were full of despair and helplessness, and the tears flashing in their eyes told of their tragic experiences.
One of the girls, who looked young, tried to resist with a gleam of unyielding determination in her eyes. However, she was soon ruthlessly knocked down with wooden sticks by several indifferent guards and fell to the ground helplessly.
This brutal scene was unbearable for Lorraine's troops. Rimuru and Gobda frowned, with sparks of anger flashing in their eyes.
……
In the cage, a delicate-looking ice wolf girl named Shanna was crouching. Her body was covered with white fur, even her hair, sharp wolf ears and tail were pure white. Her eyes revealed a cold and desperate light.
At this moment, she silently cursed her own powerlessness in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Everyone is dead... These hateful humans actually used such despicable means to attack us!"
This unequal experience aroused the sympathy and anger of Lorraine and his team, and they decided to take action to save these innocent lives and fight against this cruel slave trade.
As the daughter of the strongest warrior of the Ice Wolf Clan, Setsuna was once proud of her bloodline and strength.
However, when her power reached its limit, she could only helplessly watch her companions fall one after another at the hands of the enemy, while she herself was humiliated and became a prisoner.
In the cage, Setsuna's eyes were burning with the fire of revenge, which was in stark contrast to the girls around him who had become dim and dazed and had completely given up struggling.
Her gaze was firm and fierce, like the sharpest blade in the ice of the north.
There was an unyielding anger in her whisper, which drew the ridicule of the guard beside the carriage. He sneered at Setsuna, "Oh, with your limited strength, why are you still talking to yourself?"
"I advise you not to have any unreasonable expectations. If it wasn't for selling it for a good price, I would have let you experience what it means to live a life worse than death!"
The guard glanced coldly at the caged person, greed and desire evident in his eyes.
In his opinion, this rare sub-human group is not only rare but also precious.
He continued to mock, "Although this little girl is skinny, she is cute. Young girls who have not experienced the world are always the most attractive."
The fat merchant's voice was full of frivolity and insults, as if he was treating Setsuna as a commodity that could be evaluated at will.
Setsuna stared at the guard closely, her eyes filled with anger and hatred.
If only she could be stronger, if only she had enough power to change her fate! She prayed silently in her heart, hoping to have the power to break free from the shackles of humiliation.
Suddenly, a rustling noise came from the surrounding bushes, interrupting this unpleasant exchange. The caravan's guards immediately became alert and nervously looked for the source of the sound.
【Fireball】!!!
At this moment, a flash of lightning shot out from the dense bushes, as fast as lightning breaking through the sky.
It hit the two guards accurately, and before they could react, they fell in a pool of blood.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Setsuna's eyes. Perhaps this was the chance of redemption she had been waiting for.
Facing the fierce magic attack, the steel armor on the guards could not provide any protection at all, as if it was made of paper. In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire guard became extremely tense, their movements became subtly stiff, and their eyes were full of panic.
Only for a moment did she stare at the forest in disbelief, her eyes flashing with endless admiration and desire for the strong.
She witnessed a scene beyond imagination—Lorraine rushed out of the forest, his momentum like the arrival of the god of war.
The two guards bravely drew their swords and stepped forward to fight, but Lorraine easily smashed their heads with one blow. His strength was so great that it was shocking.
In the face of Lorraine's strength, those enemies who usually pose a great threat to Shanshan are as fragile as grass, which makes Shanshan full of deep awe for Lorraine's abilities.
Even though Lorraine was a goblin, Setsuna did not look down on him because of his race. She knew very well that in the world of battle, both demons and demi-humans worshipped the strong.
Outside the arena, the experienced veteran captain of the caravan guards felt the threat from Mu Zhong and quickly began to command his men to respond. He shouted, "Don't be nervous! These are just a few goblins and a bunch of slimes! Form a formation and prepare to attack!"
Several shield soldiers quickly formed a solid shield formation, and the spearmen behind them formed a tight formation and began to slowly approach Lorraine. This carefully arranged formation can be used for both defense and attack, demonstrating the brilliance of human tactics.
Setsuna clutched the bars of the cage tightly, watching Lorraine's every move intently.
In her mind, this tactic of humans was simply cheating, combining both offense and defense, making it difficult for the enemy to approach.
In contrast, the Ice Wolf Clan's fighting style focuses more on using their sharp claws to launch rapid assaults, but in the face of this shield-and-lance formation, they are almost courting their own death.
A deep sense of powerlessness and frustration welled up in Setsuna's heart, but at the same time he longed even more to gain overwhelming power like Lorraine.
Facing the enemy's incredibly powerful crossbowmen, each crossbow arrow has enough power to directly penetrate the human body.
Lorraine knew that if their arrows hit the target, the target's body would probably be pierced directly!
After all, the equipment of these mercenaries is the best in the kingdom.
So Lorraine silently cheered herself up in her heart, and she firmly thought: "I must win! I must win no matter what!"
In the intense and fierce battle, Lorraine's eyes inadvertently noticed Shanda who was trapped in the cage.
Although his harem gathered people of all kinds, including the kingdom's first princess, a female adventurer, a young priestess, a female magician, a canary girl and other professional types, he had never had a beast girl like Setsuna.
Setsuna's appearance is unique, she is a real beast girl.
After all, who doesn’t want to recreate the famous scene of “the moment grasped the future?” That can be said to be the ultimate enjoyment!
When Lorraine's eyes turned to her, she waved her arms excitedly and her lively little tail wagged along with it. Her expression and movements reminded people of a loyal puppy seeing its owner.
In this desperate situation, when you see hope, you naturally want to seize this rare opportunity!
Facing the deadly crossbow arrows flying towards him, Lorraine easily waved his arms and cast his light magic.
【Holy Light Wall】!!!
In an instant, all the crossbow arrows that were originally flying straight hit the wall, and were deflected by the invisible wall of light and blocked outside the wall.
Luo Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, and a decisive determination surged in his heart: "It's time to put an end to the arrogance of these ignorant guards."
As the magic power gathered, the musket took shape again in his palm. With overwhelming fire magic, he was ready to put an end to this battle.
………………
PS: A reader reminded me that the five members of the demon clan all got their names after being given names by Rimuru. Since the era of Cute King is too long ago, everyone can just treat it as a reference for easy identification. The protagonist has not yet given a name to the demon clan.
Because the ghosts are considered very advanced monsters in the setting. If they were given names in advance, they would most likely be more powerful than the current protagonist. Although they have absolute control, they would still be a bit too focused. That’s why the ghosts will be named later. These are the names given later. Now they are just nicknames, not real names.
Chapter 108: Saving the Ice Wolf Clan from Human Merchants
Just as Lorraine was about to throw out the lightning gun, a wonderful idea suddenly popped into his mind.
He realized that although his magic skills were all acquired through plundering and were simple and crude to use, and could be activated by consuming some magic power, the performance of these skills was too monotonous.
So he had a bold idea: Can we combine these magic skills to create a new effect? Lorraine thought this attempt was very interesting.
Considering that magic of different attributes might repel each other, for safety's sake, he decided to combine the two magics he was most proficient in on his first try.
For example, he wanted to combine [Thunder Control] and [Fireball] together. Although the properties of these two skills seemed different, he firmly believed that he could find a balance point to allow them to coexist harmoniously.
His idea is to merge these two kinds of magic together to create unprecedented power.
After some careful adjustments and attempts, he felt that his idea worked.
So, Lorraine began to gather the lightning spear in his hand. The magic power gradually gathered, and the light on the lightning spear became more dazzling. Electric arcs jumped on its surface, flashing a dazzling fiery red light.
He carefully incorporated the elements of fireball magic into it, and the power of the lightning gun seemed to be significantly enhanced as a result.
Finally, he waved his hand lightly, and the lightning spear filled with the power of lightning and fire flew out instantly, directly piercing through the solid shield that the guards were proud of.
The scene where the shield was pierced instantly was like a hot knife cutting through butter, without any hindrance, demonstrating the amazing effect of Lorraine's magic combination.
Unlike conventional lightning guns, the new version of the flame lightning gun created by Lorraine immediately caused a violent explosion after hitting the target. The dazzling electric light and flames instantly engulfed the surrounding guards.
In this dramatic explosion, the Ice Wolf girl, Setsuna, witnessed the tragic fate of the guards. With bursts of desperate screams, the closely arranged guards fell one after another like dominoes.
This almost one-sided massacre made Shanna feel a complicated and boiling blood.
With strength coming from nowhere, he was able to break free from the shackles that bound him.
She quickly activated her skills, and ice quickly covered her palms and slender feet, forming sharp, cold claws.
Her movements were swift and decisive, revealing a wild grace and strength.
"Let me out! I can fight too!" Setsuna shouted excitedly, his voice full of indomitable spirit and desire.
The crossbowman next to her subconsciously turned to her with a look of surprise. He was filled with disbelief: This seemingly fragile slave actually dared to resist?
Just as the crossbowman turned around and prepared to aim at the suddenly rebellious slave, he heard the terrified wail of the warhorse behind him and a sudden huge shadow blocked the sunlight. Before he could react, a powerful little hand waved over lightly.
With a bang, the guard's upper and lower body were instantly separated by the slap. The scene was bloody and shocking.
Looking at the Ice Wolf girl, Shanna, who was looking at him with eyes full of admiration and respect, Lorraine couldn't help but smile.
He waved his hand gently at her and said in a calm but firm tone: "Stand back."
Without any hesitation, Setsuna did as she was told, and then witnessed a shocking scene—her seemingly indestructible cage was easily torn apart in Lorraine's hands. In an instant, she felt the long-lost sense of freedom.
A strong desire for revenge surged in his heart, and Setsuna thought: "Now, it's time to make these hateful guys pay the price!"
She moved quickly and agilely and launched a fierce counterattack.
Her speed was so great that it was difficult for the guard crossbowmen who wanted to aim at her to lock on to her.
"You bastard!" A guard who had threatened Shanna before rushed forward angrily, wanting to teach the slave who had just escaped from the cage a lesson.
But encouraged by Lorraine, Setsuna burst out with a strength far beyond her normal strength. She nimbly dodged the guard's attack, and before the careless guard could make any defense, Setsuna had already used her sharp, cold claws to pierce his chest.
Warm blood splashed on her face, but Setsuna did not show any fear. Instead, an even more fanatical fighting spirit appeared on her face.
