Adulthood: War Chapter 38: The 'Miscellaneous Soldiers' Named 'Guerrillas'
"Well, then. I'm going to do physical training every day until I get back...... I'll teach you real swordsmanship!!"
"Okay, master!!"
――――
The Temple of the Shaman.
This is where all the shamans study magic together, and every day around the shaman's temple there is always a young goblin who is constantly training for physical fitness.
When he runs out of energy, he will stop and rest for a while. Although he trained hard, there was no flinching look on his face, but it was better to say that there was a desire for training on his sweaty face at this time.
"It's not enough!" "After that, practice swinging the knife 2,000 times!!" said the boy with a determined expression.
(I have to improve my own quality, otherwise how can I learn swordsmanship from my master?!!I have to continue!!When my master returns, he will be very happy!!)
Thinking of this, the boy's swing of the wooden knife became even stronger......
............
Verdant forests, outlying forests.
The outpost towers erected at the edge of the Goblin Realm are doing their best to intercept the advancing human, elven, and dwarven combined, countless arrows and magic are constantly being fired at the black-pressed army.
Faced with the arrows and magic fired from the outpost tower, the mages of the Combine cast defensive spells to stop them one by one. However, some arrows and magic have caused a lot of damage to the Combine.
"Magicians, blast magic ready!!"
Seeing that the advance of the Combine forces was hindered, Charlie gave orders to the magicians in the human army.
"Understood!"
"Yes. ”
The human mages in the army began to cast their magic one after another, and for a while, the orange-red fire elemental quickly gathered together to form a terrifying magic confluence.
Convergence - Compress!
After continuous compression and refinement, the fire elemental magic that originally resembled a huge sphere became like a globe, and seeing that the fire elemental magic power was compressed to such a size, the magicians each nodded to each other.
"Explosive inflammation !!"
I saw that the magicians raised their left hands and pushed them in the direction of the magic tower that kept firing arrows in the distance, and suddenly a fireball the size of a globe struck quickly towards the outpost tower.
Inside the outpost.
"Hey, look at the !!" The goblin archer, who was firing arrows, panicked when he saw the flying fireballs.
"Ah, we're finished~"
The Goblin Shaman, who was standing aside and performing all kinds of magic, had the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up when he saw the fireball. There was no fear, just a little appreciation.
"At least we're doing a good job of holding back these damn humans. ...... Well, I'll see the old guy in my next life. ”
The shaman smiled at the archer beside him, then closed his eyes.
"Tsk! What ......?"
Just as the archer was about to say something unwilling, the terrible heat turned him to ashes in an instant............
The moment a globe-sized fireball slammed into the wall of the outpost tower, a violent explosion exploded along with extremely hot flames.
For a moment, the outpost tower that was hit by the "Burst of Fire" magic was ruthlessly destroyed, and the other two outpost towers around it were also implicated in the explosion.
"What a clever man, human. ”
Hoyle, who led the elven army, became very grim when he saw this scene in the air.
"Hahaha-what a set!!
The 'General' of the Dwarven army burst out laughing heartily when he saw the effects of the Burst of Flame' magic.
"You'll take care of the rest of the tower!!"
Charleser shouted to the elves and dwarves, and he and the other generals led the way through the outpost tower into the interior of the verdant forest.
"Humph!"
In response to Charlesser's request, Hoyle was already staring at the other two outpost towers that were already somewhat damaged.
In the next second, the elven army and the dwarven team decisively launched their respective actions......
At the same time, the green forest and the outer forest are ......
Here, a pair of goblins dressed in a variety of armor stand by.
"Captain, the outpost tower has been destroyed. What are we going to do now?" An ugly-looking sentry nervously reported what had just happened to the serious-looking captain.
"What else can we do? Now we can only stand in the way of humanity here! Until the 'regular army' of warriors, cavalry, and shamans arrives!!" The captain said with a determined gaze as he looked at the crowd in front of him.
"You want us to ...... What to block? What to drive...... Joke (whisper)"
A goblin standing in the team heard what the captain said, and involuntarily knelt down and said with a glazed gaze.
"Captain, are you sending us to death?!What can we 'guerrillas' do to stop the human army?!" The other goblin asked with some excitement when he heard what the captain said.
Listening to the dejected words of the crowd, the captain drew the sword that was tied to his waist. He looked at the crowd in front of him and took a sharp breath.
"Listen, little ones!! we 'guerrillas' are no match for the so-called regular troops, but we are not weak!"
"If you think that if the human army enters the verdant forest and takes the lead in this war, we 'guerrillas' ...... No, regular troops...... No!! then our goblin clan will be finished!!"
"There is only one point I want to say: 'Hold off the advancing human army!' Survive as much as possible!!As long as we survive, our 'guerrillas' can be !!impressed by the regular troops.'"
"I know it's a bit tough for you, but if you survive this battle!!, we can enjoy the wine, the women, the riches, and !! after the victory."
"I, Granner!! fight everything I have! I must stop the human army!!Listen, we have no way back!!
The captain shouted a morale-boosting shout to the crowd in front of him, he knew that the wine, women, and wealth he spoke of were completely impossible, but at this moment he had to do it!
He is the leader of the "guerrillas", and his responsibilities are heavier than those of the members in front of him.
No matter how hard and tiring the work is on weekdays, he, the captain, will always rush to the front to shoulder the burden for the "guerrillas".
But now he has made this decision, no, order! It is undoubtedly to bring the "guerrillas" to a dead end! and even all of them will die at the hands of the human army, but there is really no way out!!
It's true... It's true...... It's true!!!
Granner's expression became extremely serious when he thought of this, and at this time, he was holding up with the idea that he didn't want to face the human army.
"Just stick to the regular troops, right?" asked a goblin cautiously.
"Yes!!" Granner said firmly.
"As long as we survive this battle, we'll have wine and women to enjoy, right?!" asked another goblin with a feverish expression.
"That's right, I promise you!!" Granner said with a hoarse voice as he nodded as he looked at the crowd in front of him.
Hearing Captain Granner's affirmation, the "guerrillas" all showed determined and eager expressions, and at this time, they were waiting for Captain Granner's instructions with their weapons in hand.
"Then go on! When facing the human army, you must go all out!!Whoever kills more than ten people can get a woman who enjoys it alone!!!"
Granner almost roared to order the next move of the "guerrillas".
"Oh oh oh oh oh !!!!"
Hearing the captain's words, the expressions of the "guerrillas" instantly became fanatical and excited.
"Let's go !! the little ones," Granner led the "guerrillas" and began to prepare for the attack of the human army in the outer forest.
The Guerrillas followed in Captain Granner's footsteps and rushed into the outer forest, their faces no longer looking terrified, only eager to fight.
Looking at the crowd following him, Granner smiled bitterly............
(Regular army warriors, cavalrymen, shamans, please get here as soon as possible.) Please hurry up!!)
