171 - - Episode 14 vs. Goblin

The carriage moves toward its destination with a "rumble.

The carriage with the Mohawk adventurers leads the way, followed by the covered wagon with peddlers Jorg, Erio, and Miya.

Mya, riding at the rear entrance of the wagon, checks the rear and happily talks with her brother Erio about Dirk (a light pseudonym), whom she heard from the Mohicans she befriended during lunch.

He was indeed very active in the Queen Elf Kingdom," Mya said. I hope to meet him again and talk a lot about magic.

I'd love to see Mr. Gold again and have him teach me more about how to handle shields and swords. When he taught me inside the dungeon, it was really just a touch. ......

The reason Nemum's name is not mentioned is not that he is being avoided by the two.

It is simply that he has not interacted with them, so it is not brought up.

According to Mohawk, Mr. Gold and the others are headed to the capital of the Dwarven Kingdom. ...... I don't think we'll have a chance to see each other for a while."

Elio and his family are currently living in the territory of the Kingdom of Races (Human).

The Dwarf Kingdom is directly west of the Human Kingdom. Considering the location of the village, the border of the Queen Elf Kingdom is closer than that of the Dwarf Kingdom.

Considering common sense, it would be very difficult to see Dirk and the others again at such a great distance.

However, Mya is not discouraged and tells them in a cheerful tone of voice.

But the Mohawks have promised to tell Dirk and the others that my brother and I are 'missing them' when we see them again," she said. Maybe they'll hear about it and come see us in the village someday!"

At lunch, the Mohicans said, 'We are not going to stop being adventurers yet, so there will surely be an opportunity to see Master Dirk and the others again. When we do, we'll let Mya and the others know we hope to see them again!　He said, 'Hyahaha!

Remembering these words, Mya makes a joyful face again.

She is happy because Dirk and the others may come to see her after hearing what the Mohicans have to say.

Erio nodded at Mya's words.

'Yes, that's right. I'm sure Dirk and the others will come to see us someday."

......Elio-kun and Mya, I'm glad that you both were able to make friends with the Mohawks and that you were able to get in touch with someone you know."

Yorum, a peddler driving a covered wagon on the Gyojadai, enters their conversation.

I'm glad that I could create an opportunity for the two of them to talk to each other. I'm also glad to have been able to provide an opportunity for the two of them to talk. ...... It's just a pity that the Mohicans are very serious adventurers, contrary to their appearance, and that it was a complete waste of time to have Erio and his friends escort them... ..."

At the governor's table, Yorum's shoulders drop.

At lunch, I heard them talk about Dirk and his team's successes.

Together we learned about their achievements and their beliefs as adventurers. We learned that the Mohawks were not bad adventurers who abandoned their employers and ran away when they were attacked by the occasional superior monster or bandit.

Jorgum has also been involved with many people as a peddler, so he would immediately recognize a lie if it was uttered.

Above all, Miya and Erio, whom he trusts, have missed him so much.

At the very least, they understood that they were not someone to be relentlessly wary of.

But thanks to them, I know that it was a complete waste of time to have Miya and the others follow me as my escort.

It means that all the travel, food, and return expenses that we promised the two of them were expenses that we did not need.

Jorme pushes through a sigh and says to himself.

'Don't be fooled by the way people look. We should just let this case be a good lesson for us. ...... Oops, looks like something happened in front of you, huh?"

As Jorm blurted out, the carriage with the Mohicans ahead of them stopped.

Something seems to have gone wrong.

Four Mohicans get out of the carriage and one of them comes toward us.

As soon as he reaches the wagon, he quickly explains the situation.

Ten goblins have appeared from the forest. We thought of using the wagons to force our way through, but there were two of them with bows. If an arrow accidentally hit the horse and knocked him down during the breakthrough, it would lead to a serious accident. For safety's sake, we should avoid that. So, we will fight, and you will escort your husband."

If it is ......, then me and my brother will step forward. May I ask you to continue to escort Mr. Jorme?"

Mya ponders for a few seconds and then makes a suggestion.

As it is, the Mohicans have one man to escort their own wagon.

They would have to take on 10 goblins with 4 men.

But if they ask the Mohicans in front of them to escort Jorgum, and Mya and Erio step forward, they will have five against ten.

The difference in numbers would be smaller and safer than a four-on-ten challenge.

Furthermore, Miya is a magician and can counter goblin archers from a distance.

Even if the opponent is a goblin, if there is an archer, he may be killed with a single lucky hit.

Mya makes the decision, "For safety's sake, we shouldn't be too careless with our weapons.

'Are you sure?　Certainly we'd be more helpful that way, but ......"

Yes, of course. We are here as guards, too.

I'm sure you're right. Above all, as adventurers, we should take the safest way.

Thank you, that helps. Leave it to me to take care of Jorg's husband!"

Hearing Mohawk's reply, the two immediately dismount from the wagon and run to the front line.

When they met up with Mohawk and his men, who were in a standoff with the goblins at the front, they understood at first glance that Miya and Erio had come to their aid.

The Mohicans had been adventurers for several years.

They have been adventurers for several years, and they have enough experience to understand how to respond to changes in the field.

Leader Mohawk thanked them briefly and gave them instructions.

Thank you," he said. We don't know each other's movements yet, so it would be better for us to move separately from each other. Can you take care of two goblin archers and two goblins?　We'll take care of the other six."

I understand. That's no problem. Mya, can I trust you with the goblin archer?"

Sure, I'll take care of it, big brother!"

Giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity!

A goblin, only as tall as a green child, makes a strange noise.

At first wary of the Mohicans, they charge at them, perhaps trying to crush them before their numbers increase any further.

The goblin's voice was a bit too loud, but the Mohawks were still on the alert.

Mya did not hesitate to cut the maximum firepower tag.

Two blades of ice float around her.

This is the greatest offensive magic she has.

Ice Sword!　Avenge your enemies!"

Two ice swords fly toward the x2 goblin archers who are releasing arrows on their bows.

However, no matter how fast they are, they are still some distance away.

The Goblin Archers x2 tried to evade with enough time to spare with arrows on their bows, but--.

BREAK!"

Giggidy!

One of the ice swords that was ahead of the others shatters in time with Mya's voice!

The shattered ice gravel turned into fine, sharp shards and scattered over a wide area.

Gggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

A shrapnel attack cannot kill a goblin, but it can temporarily blind it and sever the string of a bow.

While temporarily depriving the opponent of his sight, use the remaining one to decapitate x2 goblin archers!

If the opponent is blind, it is not much effort.

In one battle with Kite, an elf species, Mya crossed him with only 3 ice swords.

She temporarily put up a good fight and prevented a blow from the level 1500 Kite - she succeeded in deflecting the enemy's attack with the ice sword as a shield.

Since then, Mya has been studying the "Ice Sword," thinking about how to apply it, and finding time to practice so that she can fight more when the time comes.

The ability to shatter the ice sword at any given moment and turn it into sharp flying debris was also the result of her efforts and research.

Not to be outdone by his sister, Erio also took on two club-wielding goblins that were approaching.

Hmph!"

Giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity giggity!"

The first one's attack is evaded.

The second one uses its shield to collide with its own body, blowing the goblin backwards.

The evaded goblins attacked from behind to cover their blown away allies, but Elio calmly faced them and dealt with them.

He does not force himself to attack the goblins, but concentrates on standing his ground without getting hurt, while keeping the attention of the two goblins.

If he had forced himself to attack, he would have been able to inflict a fatal wound on one of the goblins.

However, it is certain that the attack of the other one will strike Elio in the gap.

A strong man would be able to defeat two goblins or a hundred goblins with a humming sound without worrying - but Erio knows his stuff. The same is true of the

He knows what he can do, and he does what his enemies don't want him to do.

Because he is not fighting alone.

He's not fighting alone.

One of them, which had been attacking Erio in a frenzy, is slashed in the throat from behind with an ice sword.

After Mya took care of the goblin archer, she put the ice sword back and covered for her brother.

With his numbers down, it was one against one, and there was no reason for Erio, who was well armed and well-trained, to lose.

The "boogie!"

He swung his shield in time with the goblin, who lunged at him with great force.

Due to the difference in their physiques, he gave chase to the goblin that was blown away.

With the sword in his hand, he stabs the fallen goblin in the throat and puts a stop to it.

After confirming that the goblin was definitely killed, Erio turned back to Mya.

Mya, thank you for covering me.

Thank you for protecting me, too.

The two, who had been adventurers in the dungeon for many years, were able to kill the goblins without danger.

The Mohicans, on the other hand, are .......

"Hi-yah!　This is the last one!"

He swung his hatchet at the fallen goblin and put a stop to it.

The Mohicans also maneuvered well and killed all six remaining goblins.

In this way, they were able to defeat the goblins that had attacked them without injuring anyone.
