Chapter 41 Book 1: Goblin General

'Seems like the General can't bear to witness his elite getting killed huh' While muttering this under my breath I keep charging at the closest Elite I can kill. Overpowering the Elites with more rooms to observe the surrounding battlefield is a luxury for all the expert specially for an amateur like Regal.

The systematical force of the Goblin suddenly in shambles, the normal goblins made way for their Commander to enter the battlefield, but some of the slower once got trampled by their own commander due to sheer speed and size. But the commander doesn't care eyes glowing with ferocious face with his weapon in tow.

Of course Regal can also see that but taking advantage of the confusion leading to another Elite with scythe in tow striking from the rear, the Elite reacted in a way but just a tad bit slower now by swinging the club out of instinct. Trying to block the scythe from Regal but he was destined to be disappointed nothing barred Regal's attack prompting the weapon to slash on his lower abdomen.

"Another one down a few to go huh, come here I'm had enough of this! Hahahahaha" Regal laughed like a maniac for the first time since the start fighting this army, the feeling of in control being overpower feels good.

With confidence after killing another elite and a grin on Regal's face he distance himself to get some space because even if with confidence, anyone that has a brain will know that the General will be stronger judging by the size of the monster.

Another Elite done this brings more hatred to some normal goblins, some of them are already feeling fear but with the large stride of the General this bring back their ferocity archers still annoying as ever.

Branding a mighty swing from the huge looking axe Regal was already prepared and dodge by jumping backwards, gust of dust and earth blow where the axe landed leaving a fissure on the land.

'Damnit it! This archers are really annoying, and this General is strong' He said after gaining his balance looking at the General. While occasionally the arrow more like a big toothpick shooting towards him.

Raaaah Jiik Waah! The army General also walk back and issue words that seems like a command this made the Goblin elites and the normal goblin soldier reorganize.

'Their getting into formation I need to finish this and don't allow that to happen' Face with another problem. He have to make a choice, the Rat tactics by killing and kiting the elites one by one till the Goblin General and only the army left. But with this realization that this new opponent of his is smarter than he anticipated it will be tough.

'Fighting straight for the General, or decimating the normal army goblin won't do, no matter how many ordinary goblins he killed it seemed endless. Another dilemma huh' The strike and his thoughts take a while to describe but in reality this happened all in a single bout, while regaining his balance thinking ahead than his body.

'We'll might as well try to Rat tactics' That's what he decided on the term killing the enemy one by one or destroying the formation by nibbling the enemy with because of his new found stamina.

Dashing towards another Elite aiming to kill, this happened quick and the General saw this but compared to Regal with his newfound strength are way faster than any of them.

Aiming for the legs or knee of the Gob Elite while minding the surroundings the General charge straight at the Elite he was aiming which surprise him in return. While his plan was to take care of the Goblin one by one. The opponent won't allow it having this thought a cunning smile appeared on Regal's face.

'If that's how you wanted to play fine I'll play along with you' The Elite swing his weapon in front hoping to smash Regal. But seeing the General slashing towards him at a distance because of a more than a meter reach due to it's arm size.

BANG!

Another fissure hacked the solid ground but Regal was nowhere to be found, he was already at the side of the General. Hacking at his opponents ankle, Swiiish! Blood splattered like a fountain.

The scythe like the sharpest weapon without hindrance tore a big chunk of flesh, in turn made the General roar in pain it's eyes becoming more red. Surprisingly it's hide isn't as hard as he think in front of the human he's facing which left him in shock but anger due to pain.

Regal was also surprise on how easy he damage the enemy with a single swing. But what's more surprising is despite the injury the General didn't fall. Instead it got faster and retaliate soon after due to the closeness even with his speed Regal are bound to be hit. Facing the Scythe above his head praying that it won't break to block the strike.

BANG!

An exclamation of surprise a crater formed much bigger than the previous one a testament to the strength and Anger of the Goblin General. But both Regal and him was surprise for a face that the Regal didn't get flattened or hack to death, but also the Scythe didn't even wobble in fact this attack made a nick on the General's weapon and Regal's weapon is perfectly fine.

'Whew I thought I'm a goner so this Scythe is much stronger than his weapon, And he didn't even made a nicked with that strength' Astonished by this new found and his new found bodily strength and sturdiness. He didn't even bent down by the strike but the earth cave in.

"So you're only strong by this much, you just overgrown because you drank more milk than me when you're a child" With a grin on his face remarking like this Regal jumped which in turned pushed the General off balanced.

The General heard what Regal said he didn't understand but he knew that the tiny human ridiculed him based on his experience of being a General and the face Regal made which in turn made him more angry, but this doesn't change that he got overpowered.

Up in the air Regal was planning to use the gravity slashing down at the big target in front of him. But at this perfect moment the other elite goblin swing with no choice and even if he's strong facing a hit head on isn't wise. Block his weapon near to his body.

Bang!

He got hit which in turn flew him off while midair away for five meters. Thankfully the strike isn't as life threatening as his encounter with the Crocoman. But still it feels like he got slammed by a tree while holding a shield, the only difference was he was stronger already.

RAAAAAAAH LIJH WAK NU!

Regal heard this like a roar but also sounding like a chant he look at the General standing up with his weapon at the floor and the corpse of the elite in his hand. A red surge of aura burst forth from his body. And started eating the corpse of the Elite, not only that more normal goblins carrying the other corpse of the Goblin Elite are being carried towards the Goblin General.

'What is it now? A skill?' Regal was confused and curious for a moment but didn't let the enemy continue what it was doing like a general rule in all battle. But seeing his action all the elite Goblin with blaring sound and their red eyes charge at him with reckless abandon.

'Getting desperate? So I am also desperate to stop you from what you're doing' He knew that by using skills will tip off the battlefield same goes with his skills. This kind of battlefield are tailor for him, but without the skill he got Regal knew that he'll be dead in seconds. Ignoring the attack of the small goblin archers, but some goblins got a hold of his shirt and leg trying to bite him but without razor sharp teeth and strong jaw, the bite didn't do much this in turn increase his weight and slowed down his speed.

'Get off me! Damn at this point I won't be able to stop the General Goblin on what he's doing' Using his perception thanks to the fast thinking he knew something was up. But left with no other choice and throwing the small goblins at the coming horde of other goblins. And the Elites rushing for him. Holding the Scythe firmly with two hands 2 inches away from the tip, stepping forward swung his Scythe at front stepping another step using his other leg swinging the scythe at the back. With this motion like a little cyclone of green blood and flesh.

Grinding whoever comes his way without any resistance whether it's an Elite on normal goblin nothing is stopping him, a few seconds only the First Elite corpse was eating with only bones left. And visibly the General's aura got more intimidating and strong with spike bones protruding on his shoulder. On his way another corpse are being brought by the normal goblins.

"I can't let this continue this is getting dangerous" Regal thought all this time he was only exhausted but facing this crisis if this were to continue not confident, and not a well seasoned or train veteran on the battlefield he knew this isn't the way.

Using the momentum, his spin are getting faster and faster and by deciding to let it all go and risk it. He forcefully halt the spin with his lower body at front while his upper only following up short after. Letting go of the Scythe it flew to the Goblin General Direction, The Elites were stunned even the General was stunned, it was fast so fast that when he noticed the disturbance of the wind the rotating Scythe like a whirling axe sliced through the General's Head.

No one expected in a fight especially when you have only one weapon throwing it at your enemy, even the Goblin General didn't see anyone do this no matter how desperate his enemy are in the past. But this was his final thoughts before he lost consciousness with his last void of the world was seeing his body headless.

'Whew it worked! It really work so cool!' Regal was full of shock and excitement on how cool his move was. Bear in mind his age was barely be considered adult specially from someone that grew up like a hermit on the woods.

But without the General he heave a sigh of relief with the stunned crowd looking at their leader. Without their leader many goblins we're enrage some are scared silly, but taking this chances he knew that he had limited time to get his revenge on being bullied by numbers.

"Now it's my turn, wanna get revenge for your leader? MWAHAHAHAHAH COME! Give me exp and points!" Regal continue it's massacre this time around much more relax.

...

In some place even the Old man watching the fight was dumbfounded but that shocked was soon replaced by a smile and elation, so many emotions and indecisions happened in this short period of time in the this Old man's mind. Seeing the worth and also wanting to help Regal saying he's a child and looking too shabby getting worried.

"In the end he's still his Majesty's son. I should've have doubted maybe I've gone senile from age. You're right your Majesty, the time has come. It's a bit late many have left, many had lost hope but with this we knew you wouldn't abandon us." The Old man muttered without knowing that tears streak in his wrinkly face.
