Chapter 19: Attack On Settlement
Chapter 19: Attack On Settlement
As of now, while the settlemt is located at the outskirts of Lunos Forest, they never be attacked by more than 0 goblins at once, and that is due to the being near two differt tribes at that time of the creation of the settlemt.
However, that was wh the army still prest to help them quell the attacking tribes. Ev still, they are more than capable of handling up to 70 goblins at the same time, due to the numbers of their fighters which is a than and the fact they could get the other 80 inhabitants, all of them wom, to join in the fight, as while they might be weaker than the m, they are no slouch in fighting.
Combined with the fact they have fortification to protect their small settlemts, it's no doubt in their mind any monsters that tried their luck will be eliminated with cold blood, ev if they will suffer from some loses as well.
However, they could not take to the account of a demon appearing so close to the settlemts, as well as the fact the said demon possessed the capabilities to subdue and strgth the suring monsters, making them far more dangerous than the one they are used to.
Combine with the fact the number of goblins reached an unprecedted 300 hundreds, all gathered from nearby tribes, not counting the Demonic Goblins, which numbered in 0 goblin strong, Demonic Wolves at 40 wolves strong and Demonic Slimes at 40 slimes strong.
Ev if they have known about it, they could not ev retreat, as the demon had cut off their escape route while preparing his m for a slaughter.
Of course, he give one final order,
"Kill the m, spare the wom,"
-x-
"Looks like they will be unprepared," Alros said, as he grabbed the head of one of the night watch in his hands. He had hunted all of them down, making it so the settlers unable to react wh he st his goblins to attack.
He also ordered some of his regular goblins to remove the defses erected a the settlemt, so they will no longer have the advantage. Oh, he could easily kill them while asleep, but, where can he test his Demonic Goblins against regular human besides here.
Of course, he would prefer to keep the casualties low, but he need to have them learn how to fight human so he decided to leave some weapons for them. He will ev have his wolves howled and announced themselves.
"Really, these settlers are too weak," he uttered before giving a telepathic command for his goblins to attack.
40 Demonic Goblins on top of the 40 Demonic Wolves charged towards the unprepared defse, the howling soon waking up the settlers.
"What happed?!"
"Oh gods! We are under attack!"
"Quick! Get to the weapon!"
The sound of settlers moving seem to make the Demonic Goblins excited as they began to move against them. For their credits, the settlers already light up the torches a the houses as well as lit up the ctral bonfire to give them as much vision as possible.
This is both good and bad for the defder. Good for they can now see the attackers. Bad, because they can now see the attackers. After all, what part of black skinned goblins, riding on giant black wolves, both of which have red eyes, will not make you peed yourself in terror.
The formation of the settlers crumbled as fast as it was formed, the fearsome visage of the monsters sd many running away, screaming in fear.
Some that managed to hid their g were swiftly ded. If the spear militia managed to form a line of spear, they might be able to deter the wolves, as the Demonic Wolves are just beasts, it are smart beasts. So, it will not charge into a line of spears.
However, a singular spear militia could not do anything as a Demonic Wolf charged at him, dodging the spears while the goblins on top of it pushed the spear with it's shield, which th left the man oped to a slash.
The wolves and goblins ran circle a the settlers, leaping on them, stabbing them, some ev clubbing them repeatedly until the person die. Yet, not a single woman die yet, thanks to the goblins' sse of smell.
As a monster infamous for small settlemts and th kidnapping wom to be used as a breeding tool, they were able to discern the smell of female, leaving the woman alive though unharmed is another story as they sometime have to hit the woman, though they mostly left the woman to the Demon Slime, which will be thrown to the woman and pinned her down.
After which, several regular goblins will bound them with vines, suring they will not cause trouble.
The swift attack ded with their victory in sight, something Alros expected as he had make sure the advantage is on his side, while leaving ough to make the settlers think they have a sliver of hope wh there is actually .
He wanted to look at the system scre and see how many SP he managed to get wh he sse one of his Demonic Goblins getting killed. Considering this is the first Demonic Goblin he lost, it surprised him greatly.
A look show the culprit.
"Ah, this will be interesting,"
-x-
"Stand your g! Make sure to not waver!" the leader yelled, trying to rally his m. Unfortunately, most are panicking with many already fall to the blade of the weird-looking goblins.
He grimaced, as he could feel the goblins are stronger than the one he used to face, but it is not something him, a former soldier of the Kingdom, could not handle.
However, they seem to be intelligt, as they managed to sur him. If they all pelted him with rocks, there will be no surprise there, he will die.
However, ev if he will die, at the very least, he will make sure he will take more of the little black bastards. He charged at one of the goblins, swinging his blade wh it was stopped. By a claw.
The person violtly pushed him away, almost sding him flying and landing on his back if not for his training. He managed to roll, suring the damage he suffered is not too bad.
The person looked at him before flashing him a smile. And that's wh the torches were lit up and his hope was lost.
"A demon," he managed to say without stuttering. A tail, an other worldly look, as well as greater strgth than a regular human, no doubt his foes and the one who orchestrated the tire attack is the being in front of him.
"Congratulations, you know what I am. Now die," he managed to block one claw, and the next one, but not the third one. He feel something sharp pierced his chest, before his vision blacked.
