Adulthood: War Chapter 39: The Last "Guerrilla"

In the green forest and the outer forest.

A goblin in thin armor was fighting a human soldier in thick armor, and the goblin, who was not as tall as the human soldier, faced the steel sword that swung at him, and he deftly dodged the human soldier's successive slashes.

"Die! Goblin !!"

In an instant, the human soldier with the steel sword in his hand slashed at the diminutive goblin in front of him.

"I refuse!!" the goblin quickly dodged the incoming steel sword to his left.

Running to the left, the goblin was holding a short dagger ready to stab the human soldier in front of him at the right time, and the short dagger seemed to be stained with black liquid and a little rust.

"Got it!!" Seeing the flaws exposed by the human in front of him due to the previous sharp swing of the sword, the goblin smiled confidently.

The next second, he quickly ran in front of the human, and at the moment he was about to reach the human, he jumped up, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at the human soldier's neck at great speed.

But a sharp spear pierced the goblin's body in an instant, and blood gushed out from the wound where the spear had pierced.

"Ahh!!h

As the blood continued to flow, the goblin's consciousness blurred, and the dagger he held in his hand fell off and fell to the ground due to weakness.

In the last moments of the goblin's consciousness, he saw the owner of the spear, another human soldier with a disdainful, garbage-like look in his eyes.

(Okay...... Unwilling... Heart...... Granna... Captain...... Do you want to... More... Be careful...... )

Seeing that the goblin pierced by the spear was dead, the soldier easily pulled the spear out of the goblin's corpse.

"Hey, I said be careful! If you die in the hands of a goblin, you'll be laughed to death!!" said the spear-wielding soldier solemnly to the soldier with the steel sword beside him.

"I'll be careful, thank you just now. Hearing this, the face of the steel sword in his hand became a little embarrassed, and he said apologetically.

"It's okay, go ahead with me and clean up the mess, we'll have to get a good job!!" Suddenly, the soldier with his spear in his hand said to his comrades beside him.

"Okay, let's go!!" Hearing what his comrade said, the soldier holding the steel sword nodded in agreement.

――――

"Tsk!!"

Granner held a sharp sword in his hand and flicked away the heavy sword swung by the human soldier in front of him, only to see that in the next second, Granner held the sword and stabbed it into the gap in the armor worn by the human soldier.

The tip of the sword was somewhat hindered through the gap, and Granna used all her strength to thrust the sword forward.

"Get out of here, you damn trash!!" The human soldier instantly felt a little angry as he felt the tip of his sword about to pierce his chain mail.

He threw a punch at the goblin in front of him, and the fist slammed into Granner, but Granner's sword hand did not let go, but thrust forward even harder.

"Pierce!! Granner's sword stabbed into the human soldier's body.

"Ahhhhh!!!h

The human soldier let out a scream, his expression twisted in pain.

"You should die too!!"

Suddenly, the human soldier used what little strength he had left, and with his strong hands, he strangled the goblin in front of him by the neck.

"Gah... Yes... Ahh

Granner, who was choked by the neck, could no longer breathe, only to see him open his mouth and try to breathe. But as the human soldier's hands continued to exert force, Granna's face turned red.

(Damn!breathing...... It's so difficult!!)

Just as Granner was about to suffocate, a figure sprang out of the woods. A goblin with a dagger in hand quickly rushed to the half-crouched human soldier and stabbed the sharp dagger into the human soldier's left eye.

"Goo?!aaa!!a

Traumatized by the suddenness, the human soldier let out a scream of astonishment and horror, and the hands that were tightly gripping Granner's neck involuntarily let go.

Seeing this, the goblin drew his dagger and slashed at the human soldier's throat. The blade slashed the human soldier's throat in an instant, and bright red blood gushed out in an instant.

Looking at the goblins in front of him, the human soldier's eyes were filled with disbelief. As the blood sprayed, the human soldier eventually collapsed and died.

"Captain, are you alright?"

The goblin pulled out the dagger that had been stuck in the human soldier's eyes and put it away, then walked over to Granna and asked with concern.

"It's ok. ”

Granner spat the blood from his mouth to the ground, and he nodded firmly to the goblin beside him.

"The humans seem to be serious this time, and the rest of the 'guerrillas' don't know what is going on now?" said the goblin to Granner, with some concern.

"I guess we're fighting the human army, thank you very much. Hearing the words of the goblin beside him, Granner frowned and thanked him for his previous help.

Hearing Captain Granner's thanks, the goblin looked at Granner in surprise.

"To tell you the truth, I'm quite afraid of death, captain, aren't you afraid of being killed by humans?" suddenly the goblin said fearfully with his hand over his forehead.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. But if we don't stay here, the Goblins will be finished when the human army takes the lead. ”

Seeing the goblin beside him make this move, Granner sighed and spoke his mind.

"That's right, but if the regular troops don't come, we're really going to die. As for what Granner said, the goblin could only say it silently.

"I said boy, if you don't want to die. Then run away now, and escape to the territory of another race and become a 'wanderer'. Hearing what the goblin beside him said, Granna laughed and joked.

((1) Wanderer: An individual goblin who struggles to live in the territory of another race. )

When the goblin heard Captain Granner's joke, he plucked up his fists and clenched them in courage. "Forget it, I don't want to live like that homeless life. ”

"Captain, I'm going to stay with you...... Uh-huh, ahhhh!!h

Before the goblin could finish speaking, an arrow struck him in the head. The goblin let out a scream and fell to the ground.

“......?!”

Seeing the tragic situation of the goblin beside him, Granna held his sword and looked at the forest in front of him with a wary expression.

"Shot!

Out of the forest, ten human soldiers in armor and armed with various weapons came out of the forest, and they surrounded Granna in a semi-encircled shape.

(Not good...... )

When he saw these ten human soldiers, Granna's face instantly turned gloomy.

"Hey, goblins, you're supposed to be the leader of the goblins fighting in the forest ahead, right?"

A soldier with an arrogant expression asked the goblins in front of them in a contemptuous tone, in the universal language of the world.

"How's it going?" said Granner, looking coldly at the human he had just accosted him.

"Then Boss Yo~ Your subordinates have all been 'cleaned up' by us, that is, now you are the only goblin left. Excuse me, are you going to fight us again?"

Hearing Granner's reply, the other human soldier smiled and said with a sneer.

"As long as we're not dead, you humans don't want to set foot in this 'verdant forest'!!!!" Granner said with his sword in his hand, fully engrossed in a fighting stance.

"Hahahaha~ Okay, then let's kill you well!!"

Hearing Granner's words, the ten human soldiers burst out laughing, and the weapons they each held in their hands were aimed at the garbage-like goblin in front of them.

In an instant, Granna, armed with a sharp sword, rushed towards the ten human soldiers forming a semi-encirclement.

Fifteen minutes later......

"Uh-huh-cough-cough!!!!"

Granner fell to the ground, coughing up blood involuntarily.

(Broken ribs...... The leg bone was also broken...... Is your right hand broken too?)

Granner, who had fallen to the ground, was bleeding from his wounds as if he couldn't stop it, and the sword wounds, blunt injuries from blunt objects, and arrows stuck in his shoulders and legs made him look dying at the moment......

"It's quite capable of fighting~"

"In the face of the successive siege of ten of us, it can be blocked for so long? It really opened my eyes~"

"After all, your goblin is really evil~"

The ten human soldiers standing not far away laughed as they looked at Granna, who had fallen to the ground and had fought them before.

"Let me put an end to it!!"

A tall soldier with a hammer in his hand slowly walked towards Granna's position.

"Don't smash it too far~," the other soldiers said with a smile to the tall soldier with the hammer in his hand.

"Don't worry!!," the tall soldier said with a smile.

(It hurts...... I'm going to... Is it dead? Troops...... They come... Are we ...... 'guerrilla... team' No...... Funk... Oh...... )

(We are "guerrillas"...... I've done one or two things... Not bad good... Affair... Remember that... It's a live capture... Move... Our success... Caught a young... Female elf... And dedicated her to... In the main city of Kejie... Senior Staff...... )

The tall soldier had already walked up to Granner, and he raised his hammer and was about to slam it into the head of the goblin that had fallen to the ground.

(Really...... If you're going to die...... guys of the guerrillas... I'm sorry... I... No... Let you be in vain... Sent to death!!)

Thinking of this, Granner involuntarily shed tears of remorse and unwillingness......

"Whew-"

Just as the tall soldier was about to swing his hammer, a wild wolf howl came from the forest behind Granner.

"Huh?"

Just as the tall human soldier was feeling a little confused, the next second, a gray-haired wolf burst out of the forest behind Granner.

It quickly knocked the hammer-wielding human soldier to the ground, and the gray wolf bared its teeth and snapped the human soldier's neck.

"What?!" the other nine soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden situation.

"Damn, kill this beast and avenge Sim!!"

The nine human soldiers looked at the gray wolf with their weapons in their arms, and they vowed to kill the gray wolf that was constantly gnawing at the corpses of their companions.

But before they could make their next move, a goblin in leather armor and a black sword suddenly appeared in front of them.

The goblin with the black sword in his hand suddenly slashed a swift sword in the direction of the nine human soldiers, and after swinging the sword, the goblin in leather armor withdrew the black sword into its scabbard.

"Huh?"

"Did this crumbs do anything?"

Seeing the goblin in front of them, the nine human soldiers were visibly puzzled.

"You've been... Dead, "Sword Qi One Style, Quietly Slashed". ”

Hearing the puzzled voices of the nine human soldiers in front of him, the goblin looked at the dying man.

"What's ......?!"

The expressions of the nine human soldiers changed to astonishment when they heard the words of the goblin in front of them, but the next second, their expressions became extremely painful.

In an instant, the bodies of the eight human soldiers were all cut in half for some unknown reason, and bright red blood sprayed out from the terrifying sword wound.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!hhh

Seeing that his companion, who had been fine just now, suddenly became so miserable, the last remaining human soldier couldn't help but feel terrified when he looked at the goblin.

In addition to the horror and the sharp pain in his right hand, his right hand was sliced smoothly and neatly, and blood splattered out like a column of water.

"Oh, slashed off?" Seeing the tragic scene, the goblin slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

I need to get out of here!!!

The human soldier whose right hand had been cut off suddenly turned around the next second, and fled into the outer forest without looking back.

"Escape, but did you really escape?" hehe~" Suddenly, the goblin in leather armor laughed heartily.

"Hmm!!"

Just as the goblin in leather armor was still laughing, a faint cry came from not far from him.

"Huh?"

The goblin in leather armor subconsciously looked at the goblin lying not far away, and the goblin who fell to the ground was Granner, who was already dying.

"Are you alright?"

The goblin in leather armor walked over to Granner and crouched down, asking the goblin who had fallen to the ground and was covered in phosphorus.

“...... You guys... It's finally here! We're "guerrillas"...... Didn't escape... Ahem!!We've been ...... Stay here... And those abominable humans... Combat !!"

Lying on the ground, Granna said in a hoarse voice to the goblin in leather armor.

"Dear ...... Warrior, can you tell ... Sue me, we... Good job... Right? "Guerrillas"...... It's not all... Miscellaneous soldiers, right?!coughcough!!!"

As Granner continued to speak, he coughed up blood foaming down his throat.

"You 'guerrillas' are doing a good job, without you we would have lost half of this war. Suddenly, the goblin in leather armor suddenly grabbed Granner's bloodied left hand and spoke to him firmly.

"Really... We... It's true... Did you do well?" Feeling his hand being held by the warrior in front of him, Granner muttered to himself in some surprise.

"Really!!"

The goblin in leather armor looked at Granner, who was a little unconscious, and he shouted at Granner.

“...... I also have... And the last one... Question, are you... Who?"

Consciousness began to blur, and Granner used the last bit of strength to ask the warrior in leather armor beside him with a sad expression.

"I'm Captain Warrior Tut. The goblin in leather armor leaned into Granna's ear and said calmly.

(It turned out to be...) Warrior Chief?!)

Hearing the reply from the soldier beside him, Granner looked shocked.

“...... I... Call...... Glen... Accept...... It's the "guerrillas"... Captain ......"

Lying on the ground, Granner finally revealed his identity, and after that, he slowly closed his eyes.

(Dead...... )

I couldn't help but sigh as I felt the temperature pass on the goblin named Granner lying on the ground, "I couldn't save him......"

I stood up and stretched my body. Finn licked his front paws and looked at me in a standby gesture.

"Warrior Chief, do you have any 'survivors' here?" several warriors came out of the forest and asked me.

"There are no more, 'guerrillas' no, brave would-be warriors, who did everything they could to hold back the advance squads of the human army. ”

Hearing the inquiries of several fighters, I told them in a rigorous manner.

"By the way, he's the captain of the guerrillas. His name is: Granner, bury him for me. Looking at Granna, who was lying on the ground with scars on his body, I said in a firm tone to the fighters.

"Yes, Warrior Lord!"

After hearing what I said, the warriors nodded to me and said respectfully.

"Let's go, Fin. ”

I walked over to Finr and rode up, and Fen and I entered the verdant forest to join the goblin army......

"Captain Tut, you're so strong!"

"Of course, it's not bad to be strong. Otherwise, why would we follow him in the first place?"

Shortly after I left, the fighters began to talk about me.........
