Chapter 7

Seeing the man running away, I secretly turned my head back to the battlefield. Though I was initially concerned that they would all run away seeing this as a trap, it seems that they didn’t have such courage to do so. Especially, to see a girl in that appearance, once, twice, you couldn’t help but look again. I called for Mev and opened my mouth.

” Mev. ”

” Yes, what Captain? ”

” Tell Goff to not kill the woman. ”

” Ah . . . . Okay . . . ”

Her voice was somewhat uneasy, as Mev expression looked ominous. That look made it seem as if I really had some sort of special taste. As such, I opened my mouth to Mev.

” It’s not a special taste at all. Stop thinking about those things and just relay the message and come back. If you keep working hard, I’ll really take care of you well. ”

” Ah ! . . . Okay ! Ggireuk ! Ggireuk ! I’ll work hard ! ”

Not sure if it’s because of the influence of being in a goblin’s body, but I found Mev’s figure of happily Ggireuk Ggireuk quite cute. As such, I brought my subordinates and started to follow the fleeing man.

” Captain . . . don’t we have to fight as well? Ggireuk . . . I want to fight. ”

” Let the others take care of this side here and follow me. ”

” I want to fight though, but I will follow Captain. Ggireuk ”

Although they had some complains, but my mouth fell in awe after seeing the figure a moment after. The guy that was mindlessly running while consistently changing paths. It seemed that he was holding a sword and shield as if he had finished evolving into an ordinary warrior. But, his sense of awareness wasn’t too high as he didn’t notice us. Maintaining a set distance, we followed him intently.

After running for quite some time, we arrived at a camp.

‘ Bingo ‘

I couldn’t help but laugh in this situation. The goblins, as if knowing they had to keep their delight in check, they tried to conceal it to the best of their abilities.

” We’re waiting here. ”

” Ggireuk . . . Ggireuk . . . Understood. ”

While we quietly watched from the side, as expected, the first guy to run back screamed loudly.

” We need to leave this place ! We need to leave this place now!

Not a bad decision. Since they were outnumbered, maintaining distance was the correct decision. Since they had brought their most useful fighters, they should be lacking in power. As expected, they were hurriedly packing up. They were coming out of the entrance. Frankly, the goods that they secured were just majorly fruits and food, and some other useful things.

They were definitely willing to fight, as nearly all of them had a sword and shield, while others who didn’t have one had a crude wooden spear.

Mev, who soon caught up, took an arrow and started pulling back the bowstring. Although they crazily attempted to stop the arrows with their shields as if they had already evolved . . . they weren’t prepared to face against the goblins dashing towards them.

” Charge ! ! ! ”

” Ggireuk ! ! Ggireuk ! ! ! We are the Blood Dagger Clan ! ! ! Ggireuk ! ! ! ”

” Ggireuk . . . I’m rushing in ! ”

Amongst the 5 most loyal goblins, the first one that had evolved rushed out first, causing the ones who were holding onto the wooden spears to be frightened. As I threw daggers, the assault had caused the human formation to collapse in an instant.

Within the bushes the goblins who were smaller in height were continuing to throw knives and daggers, causing them to be frightened out of their wits. It was already crazy enough having to deal with these green skinned monsters, but as they were camouflaged, they were perplexed as to where these attacks were flying from as the death toll rose.

” Ggireuk ! ! Ggireuk ! !”

” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHK ! ! ! ! ”

” Uhk . . . ”

But the evolving process was fast. Soon, I could start to feel that my body was a bit larger than a goblin’s body. My line of sight had risen as well. Compared to earlier, a darker green skin greeted me. Of course, my biceps became much thicker. My equipment, though it looked like it didn’t change, didn’t have much meaning right now. Later on, once I leave for the continent, I can begin to use decent items then.

” Ah . . . . . ”

My voice had changed a bit too. I could clearly feel myself becoming stronger. If I had evolved into a Goblin Intermediate Warrior, I could be able to move faster and nimbler with magic. It seems that hobgoblins can’t move with magic just yet. Although I could feebly feel the magic inside due to my experience, it seemed that my proficiency wasn’t quite there yet.

Although it was difficult, if I train, then I could probably evolve into a intermediate warrior.

Stealthily looking around, I could see a few that were jumping around in glee after evolving. . . All of them chose either a Goblin Warrior or a Goblin Archer.

” I evolved into the former captain ! ”

” Like the captain from before, I’ve become a despicable and brave goblin warrior! ”

” I became an archer like Mev ! ”

I had expected a few to select the mage at least . . . it was a bit of a shame, but I didn’t feel that it was proper for me to order something like this. If I were to forcefully encourage them to pick a mage, those without ‘ aptitude ‘ will probably be unable to become efficient in it. Although Mev was a bit smarter, in comparison, the rest belonged to the rather stupid side.

No, it was itself a disaster for those guys to become a magician.

Anyways, rising my body, the goblins stared at me with shock. As expected, they were exaggeratedly praising and singing.

” Ggireuk ! ! Ggireuk ! ! Our captain changed into a Hobgoblin! ”

” Our captain is a Hobgoblin ! ! ”

” It’s the Goblin King ! ”

These cute guys were harmoniously singing as I sat back and watched these guys start. Regrettably, one of the 5 loyal goblins needed a few more before evolving, and Mev, as if she was a step away, was blushing.

However, seeing that she was approaching me, whether she was glad or sad, it seems she’ll come to me either way. I opened my mouth to the clan members.

” Retrieve the humans and let’s tidy the place. Let us return. ”

” Ggireuk . . . ! ! Ggireuk ! ! ”

” Understood ! ! Understood ! ! ”

” Victory ! Victory ! ! ”

I quietly walked. It seems that my growth was faster than I expected. It was a part I was definitely glad about. In this tutorial, if I continue to make good evolutions and hopefully get a unique ability, then I shouldn’t be treated as a weakling in the continent.

TL Afterword

God I just love these adorable goblins. These lovely despicable goblins! <3

Oh and human, you deserve to die. How can you possibly kill such a cute goblin like that?! (I’m becoming inhumane).

Oh and I laughed so hard when one of the goblins shouted ‘Like the captain from before, I’ve become a despicable and brave goblin warrior!’

PR Afterword:

No human can suck-up like a goblin: ” It’s the Goblin King ! ”
