Goblin Slayers(3)

Chapter 32: Goblin Slayers(3)

"We have been ambushed!" Nogla shouted out. 

"Battle formation!" Terroriser followed.

The two ran to form a circle as the goblins emerged from all sides.

The enemy reinforcements has arrived. 

"There's so many of them!" Nogla yelled.

Indeed, they were. A hundred goblins surrounded the duos. 

They came out from their hiding places, behind the trees, bushes, and a few trenches.

"I know, Nogla. These motherfuckers are definitely going to use that Lord of the Rings tactic on us." Terroriser stated, mentioning the battle scene in the movie.

"Is it me, or are these goblins smarter than they look," Nogla asked. 

The goblins wore dirty loincloths, a few had bandanas and leather gloves. They all wielded crude knives and short swords while others had crude bows and some arrows had concentrated mana within it, enough to kill a strong Rank 1 Individuals.

Fifty wouldn't be a problem but since there were at least a hundred and all of them were armed to the teeth, the battle was evened. 

What Terroriser knows about goblins, they also had a culture of their own, their culture was a barbaric one if put in human terms. 

But he himself was taken aback by the sheer amount of coordination these goblins had against their typical counterparts in most fantasy anime.

"In my guess, a different kind, are there rare species?" Brian whispered to Nogla.

"Probably not, probably yes."

As the situation didn't get worse, in the next second, Terroriser sensed something in his surveillance system.

"Dear God, I am detecting one hundred more of these green skin bitches!" Terroriser alerted.

"Good," Nogla said out loud, confusing his friend. 

"What do you mean good?"

"Simple, more Goblins, more EXP to level up, think of it as our own EXP farm." The green idiot explained.

"Hm, never thought of that."

Having an idea in mind, Terroriser then stepped forward and confronted the goblins around the two.

They were confident but since they were savage creatures at best, their confidence could be used against them in the form of taunts. 

"Come at us, you motherfucking green orphans!" He yelled in his German accent, taunting the goblins down the road by waving his hands, gesturing them to come at him.

The taunt worked and the goblins down the road which numbered twenty came charging at him. 

They acted more like a disciplined unit of an army rather than their commonly held image of just charging in blindly. 

Stepping forward, Terroriser then drew out his sword, instead of the Diamond one, he bought out his strongest among them, his Enchanted Netherite Sword.

After Brian drew out his sword and prepared to face the charging goblins. Seeing Terroriser pull out his weapon and prepare to fight, Nogla does the same.

"Enemy fire!" Nogla shouted, at fast speed he places numerous Obsidian Blocks in the shape of a dome intentionally blocking against arrows around the two. The arrows were easily repelled as if they hit a brick wall. 

"Muirear!" Terroriser shouted in his and Nogla's national language. With their swords drawn and pickaxe up, they broke the obsidian blocks in a matter of seconds before charging at the army of 200 goblins.

=====================================

The two sides clashed with the battle in favor of the two as they were more skilled, better armored, and well-equipped compared to their savage counterparts. 

The goblins, however, had the number advantage. Terroriser, Nogla, or one of them could theoretically take on a few dozens of goblins at once but if those goblins doubled or tripled, they would stand no chance. 

As long as they kept their tight formation, they'd be fine. 

But the goblins, the number of goblins began to rise.

After cutting a few goblins at once, Terroriser began to sense more red dots in the tridimensional map in his vision and yelled. "Fuck! Detecting more heat signatures! They're coming from the ground!!" 

"Oh, so they DO know the tactics from the vietnamese!" Nogla said as he gallantly and single handedly took down an entire line of twenty-eight goblins by dashing through each group of four and slicing them at once with his weapons.

The goblins fell to the ground, dead, some burned and bodies were in a worse condition from Nogla's enchantment weapons. But just as he turned around to help his friend, another wave of goblins came from the treeline, this time, there were forty of them. 

"Brian!" Nogla shouted.

"I... KNOW!!!" Terroriser shouted back as he needed to take care of the goblins fast or he risked getting something worse.

Sparing no time at all, Brian quickly dashed at the goblins that came from the left side of the road and slaughtered them. He kicked two against four and sliced them up before proceeding to punch three and shoot six with his Shotgun at once.

*BAM!*

Seeing his skill, the goblins that came from the right were terrified and stopped on their feet.

It was a bad decision. 

Terroriser turned towards them as he finished ripping off the head of the last goblin from the left and then dashed to the goblins to the right.

"Imma Blitzkrieg your asses!"

The goblins then sensed Terroriser's terrifying aura that shouted bloody murder. There was mercy to be had.

And so, half of the goblins simply dropped their weapons and tried to run away and those that remained had their bodies simply sliced, cut, impaled, shot and thrown aside with ease.

The goblins that ran away didn't fare any better. As soon as Terroriser caught up with them and their short legs, he promptly cut their joints as fast as physically possible, and then left them to bleed to death.

Remembering how goblins acted, he knew that they had a strong sense of smell and good eyesight. Their incredible ability to breed like rabbits is also one of their strong points. 

The smell of their brethren's blood will draw in goblins from afar thanks to the breeze that blew. The more blood, the stronger the smell that would reach their brethren.

Terroriser planned on luring them all out into the open in order to achieve his plan.

As Terroriser shot his ARMS Casull into the last goblin that ran away the farthest, he turned around to see Nogla. He was still standing and while he has several minor injuries, he seems not tired yet.

But the number of the goblins attacking the two kept on increasing as more and more appeared from the treeline and more volleys of arrows began to pour. 

And then something big came roaring from down the road.

Clad in crude iron armor, one eye blind, fat, sleazy.

"Ah shit, a hobgoblin!" Nogla exclaimed.

"Oh come on! I have no time fighting against the Hulk with an old lazy father condition!"

Surrounded by a hundred more smaller goblins, the hobgoblin cried out a roar that sent Nogla shivers down his spines except for Terroriser, who was spineless in a way that he did not have the ability to feel the shiver.

He wasn't afraid. 

No...

He doesn't have fear to begin with.

The hobgoblin was armed with a big mace. A hobgoblin is an rank Monster and alone could take on an entire unit of rank Adventurers.

The goblins around the hobgoblin charged while the hobgoblin stayed behind, thinking that his goblins could overrun the two easily. 

But, he was wrong, dead wrong.

As soon as the first twenty goblins were in range, Terroriser dashed to meet them, startling the goblins with his speed and agility. 

He drew out both of his diamond and netherite swords seemingly from thin air and sliced the goblins two and four at a time depending on how close they were to each other. 

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

Meanwhile, Nogla continued to mow down the goblins with his MG-42, each second he killed a few goblins.

Terroriser on the other hand spun around, jumped, and bashed their heads together before splitting apart their stomachs with a single hack to the side like a real fucking Goblin Slayer.

Seeing the situation is hopeless, the Goblins try to run but refuse to move back. The reason being that if they ran, the hobgoblin would undoubtedly kill them instead. 

It's either kill the two idiots or be killed by both.

The one hundred goblins that surrounded the hobgoblin were now cut to a mere forty in numbers.

They had expected the two to run out of energy but so far, the two were going strong as if they felt no fatigue. 

Before long, the last goblin sent against the two lies dead on the grass, their blood spilled among nature, the smell of which drew in more goblins from the area.

The hobgoblin, seeing how his pawns were easily taken care of by mere humans, roared his loudest and charged at the closest person from it, which was none other than Brian. 

Nogla was busy teabagging the dead Goblins but had to turn his head in shock as the hobgoblin charged at his friend with all his might and his mace up above his head, ready to strike.

Terroriser returned the favor and dashed towards the hobgoblin.

"Brian!" Nogla shouted in unison, he was concerned about this.

Using his bare hands, Terroriser punched the mace with all his might. The mace was heavy and sturdy, but Terroriser was equally so. His fist and the mace were so evenly matched that they failed to make a dent into each other.

Instead, it sent out a powerful shockwave that blew Nogla and the other goblins into the ground and pushed the trees. 

The hobgoblin himself was surprised to the point that he stepped back. Terroriser then capitalized and leapt towards the hobgoblin's left arm, burying his sharp hands into its skin, causing it pain and to thrash about. 

Seeing their strongest person in pain, the goblins were frozen.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Seeing an opportunity, Nogla without wasting any time charged against the remaining goblins with a fury in his eyes. 

Quickly switching his weapon, Nogla then brought out a grenade launcher from his Inventory and then began to harvest some EXPs.

*Pomp* *Boom!* *Pomp* *Boom!*

Nogla shot a number of grenades that he sent flying towards the goblins that still came out of the treeline, exploding upon impact and sending the goblins flying in the air.

Meanwhile, the ground shook as the hobgoblin struggled with the Irish cyborg who was now against the nape of neck. Terroriser clung on to its otherwise sleazy skin and drew out one of his swords. 

The hobgoblin then swung his mace in a clockwise fashion and spun around in a vain attempt to get rid of the robot idiot. 

Terroriser then grabbed hold against the skin at the back of the hobgoblin's head and immediately pulled it and was about to tear it apart. The monster cried out in pain and in a last ditch effort, tried to crush Brian by jumping onto its back.

"Don't you wrestle my ass, fatty!" Terroriser shouted, he then changed his position as soon as the hobgoblin jumped. He pulled his way to the monster's face and without a second to waste, pulled out his Netherite sword and sunk them deep into the hobgoblin's eyes, blinding it. 

"Yeah, you love it when it goes deep, don't you~?" Terroriser teasingly said before he felt the monster was about to fall.

As it fell to the ground, the hobgoblin realized that it doomed itself. Terroriser cut out its nerves to its arms, paralyzing it and preventing the hobgoblin from mounting a successful defense. With the nerves to his arms severed and his eyes blinded, Brian slit its throat without resistance and jumped off. 

The hobgoblin thrashed as blood spewed from its major artery in the neck. 

It was a gruesome death and Terroriser was covered in both the blood of the hobgoblin and the goblins before it. 

The remaining goblins that were fighting Nogla immediately turned their backs and tried to run away but Nogla wasn't going to let them. 

The last goblin was instantly blasted to smithereens by Nogla's grenade launcher.

"Haha! We did splendidly, Brian!" Nogla yelled out.

"I know, just now we were like the ultimate duos of the Men in Black!" Terroriser said.

"And the way you kill that Hobgoblin is like the film Jack the Giant Slayer but more R-rated."

Hearing Nogla's words, Brian gave out a chuckle as he looked at the dead hobgoblin behind him. 

Their surroundings were littered with hundreds of dead goblins. Nogla was the only one who looked tired except for Brian for some reason.

30 minutes had passed and it was already evening, the two duos were still dealing with taking the ears from the goblins corpses without stopping just so in order to get more money the more ears they could get.

Nogla then walked over the hobgoblin's body and looked at Brian who was cutting the ears off from the goblins.

Suddenly, Nogla had an idea so he asked "Yo Brian, can you do something?"

"Sigh! It can't be helped. Say it. What do you need me to do?" Terroriser replied with a bored look.

"Nothing serious, I just need you to use your robot UAV powers to scan the forest, to see if there is somewhere where the goblins' home was, the time they arrive is kinda short so it might be near." Nogla explained what he wants Terroriser to do. The latter was not pleased with it.

"What? You're asking me to scan the forest entirely and you are saying it's nothing serious?"

Nogla stayed silent before saying with a lower tone, "I know it's tiring to do that because I am weak at the moment, but you must have understood why I asked you to do that. Please? One last adventure before we can go back."

"...fuck, okay, fine, I'll do it."

Finally, Terroriser accepted. He scanned the forest, sensing everything 10 kilometers around the two, after more than 10 seconds had passed, he stopped his scan and said. 

"5 km west from here there are 20 goblins, it is likely a small goblin settlement."

"West? Okay, understand. Let's go there! After killing these 20 goblins we will go back."

"Yeah, while at the same time, after killing these 20 goblins, we'll be able to level up at least twice, or whatever how this world's leveling system bullshit works." Terroriser mumbled before starting walking towards the goblin's settlement location.
