Chapter 33: Influx

[Goblin] Gi Ga
The goblin in that estranged group that was with the protagonist when he defeated an orc. He is currently a noble class, the highest amongst the protagonist's subordinates. He prefers to use the spear.

[Goblin] Gi Gu
The former leader of the village. He was pressured by the protagonist in his goblin noble form, and was added to his subordinates. He uses the long sword, and is relatively smart for a goblin rare.

[Goblin] Gi Gi
Known as a beast warrior, a goblin with the ability to tame beasts.
He evolved while hunting spear deer with the protagonist.
He prefers to use the axe. His goblin class is rare.

[Goblin] Gi Go
A goblin with many wounds on his body. The food of his horde was stolen by the gray wolves, so he made a decision to follow the protagonist. He is the most experienced amongst the goblin rares. His weapon is a curved katana.

[Goblin] Gi Za
The druid goblin rare that recently joined them.

It was the high kobold, Hasu, who informed me of the humans' presence.

"The humans are here!" he said.

Cold sweat drizzled down my back.

"Their numbers?" I asked as I threw food at Hasu.

I waited for him to chew it before he finally replied.

"15," he said.

Tch, that's a lot.

Are we a match for them right now if all those 15 are adventurers?

It might be possible if we could just strike them at their weak point... But either way it's a huge gamble.

"Alright, let's go!"

I have to prepare myself for the worst.

It's been around a month and a half since Reshia's group was captured by us.

I don't know whether 15 is actually a lot or not, but the goblins I've been preparing to fight with the orcs have mostly learned the three-man cell.

There's no telling whether that will be effective against the humans, but if we retreat, there's no telling how far they're going to chase us either.

We can't retreat. There's no other path for us but to fight.

"Gi Ga, gather everyone."
"As you command."

When all the goblins that were rare class and above were gathered, I gave my orders.

"Gi Go, protect those that can't fight."
"Yes, chief."
"Everyone else, gather your men. We're going to intercept the humans."
"Yes, chief!"

Three were visibly fired up, while Gi Za quietly burned, ready to fight.

I made 5 three-man cell groups, totaling to 15 goblins. Then I left the remaining goblins under Gi Go to protect the village.
