465 A passing human
As time passed, the sunset disappeared and the sun completely sank to the other side of the sea, allowing the night to fall quietly.
But at this time when night had just fallen, there was a place where it was still bright. It is the village of Tintajer.
"W-What's going on!?"
Artoria climbed up a promontory with Rige and looked in the direction of the village of Tintagel in a stunned and panicked voice.
No way.
I saw that the village, which was fine not long ago, was actually reduced to a sea of fire. The building is burning.
The firelight illuminated the surroundings and dispelled the darkness.
A fire descended on the village of Tintager, and there were faint sounds of shouting and killing and violent fluctuations of magic power coming from the village, creating a tragic atmosphere.
"Everybody......!"
Seeing this scene, Artoria's head was instantly congested, and she didn't even think about it, so she wanted to jump down and rush into the village.
"Isn't it?" Rig quickly reached out and grabbed the back of Artoria's neck, holding her in his hand, and said helplessly, "What are you going to do here? I guess I want to rush into the village to save people, right?"
has been treated like that by others, when I saw something happening in the village, the first thing I thought about was to come to the rescue?
"Are you really a bad guy?"
Riger's incomprehensible appearance made Artoria scream. "You can't pretend you didn't see anything, .....!?"
So said the son of prophecy.
Rige was eager to ask Artoria, why not?
Is there someone in that village who is good to you? Or are there guys who lend you a helping hand in your hard time?
No, not a single one.
If you don't, why can't you act as if you haven't seen anything?
Thinking so in his heart, Rige also knew that even if he said so, Artoria would still want to rush over.
After all, it was the place where the girl had lived for sixteen years, and even if there were only painful memories there, seeing this place reduced to a sea of fire, the girl still wanted to rush over it, which was better than doing nothing.
"That's why I said I was in trouble."
Rig shook his head, lifted Artoria directly, and activated the teleportation magic.
The next moment, Rig appeared with Artoria in the sky above the village of Tintager.
From this position, whether it is Rieg or Artoria, a wave of heat can be felt.
The burning village continued to release smoke into the air, sending puffs of black smoke rising around Rig and Artoria.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt and smoke, and in addition to that, there was a strong smell of blood. And rightfully so.
From where Rig and Artoria are now, it can be seen that a brutal battle is going on in the burning village.
"It's all you useless Wind Clan!"
"If you weren't so useless, how could that imposter escape?"
"You useless people shouldn't continue to waste resources in the village!"
Several werewolf goblins of the Tooth Clan cursed as they pounced on several goblins of the Wind Clan at an alarming speed, swinging their claws at them.
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" .......
In the sound of flesh tearing that was too crisp and neat, the goblins of the Wind Clan didn't even have time to say a word, and they were torn in half by the powerful goblins of the Tooth Clan. "Bang!"
However, before the goblins of the Tooth Clan could enjoy the feeling of victory, their heads were blasted by several sledgehammers at the same time.
This was done by a few goblins of the Earth Clan who had the form of dwarves and carried heavy hammers in their hands.
They smacked the head of the Clan Elf of the Tooth Burst with a hammer as they cursed there. "You teeth
What's the use of the clan?"
"Why do a bunch of idiots with empty power and equally empty heads speak to us in a condescending tone?"
"You're just so useless that you can't even catch an impostor!"
The goblins of the Earth Clan who cursed like this still felt incomprehensible, and the hammer in their hands knocked the corpses lying on the ground one by one, relying on their arm strength far stronger than that of humans, and directly smashed the corpses of the goblins of the Tooth Clan, causing blood to splash everywhere, and the flesh to fly wildly, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The same scene happened elsewhere in the village.
"Damn the Earth Clan! It's because of you rude and ugly beings! That's why we'll spend all our treasures so quickly!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you were clamoring all day long to buy metal to fight, there would have been a lot of treasure left over from that impostor!"
"How good can your Wind Clan be? Every day, I am either clamoring to go to the big city to spend money or hold a banquet!"
"You're the garbage that wastes your treasures!"
"And you Tooth Clan, who usually have no effect at all, can only do some hard work, but eat more than anyone else!"
"It's a goblin that doesn't need to eat, but because it is fun, you keep eating and drinking, you should really disappear!"
"It's you who disappear!" "That's right! It's you!" "It's you!" "You!" "Kill!" "Kill them!"
"As long as you kill them, the village will have a much better life in the future!" "Kill everything that gets in your way!"
In this way, a group of goblins killed each other in the fire, and the methods were extremely brutal, and they did not look at all like their fellow villagers who had lived together for many years, but had to separate a life-and-death enemy, so that the cursing, roaring, howling, and screaming continued to sound for a long time.
γ..... How so?"
Artoria was no longer struggling, maintaining the appearance of being carried by the back of the neck by Rige, staring blankly at the bloody slaughter below, as if she had lost her soul.
The goblins below, Artoria naturally knows.
They are all villagers of Tintagerne, neighbors of the same village that they used to meet.
Now, they are actually fighting each other in the fire, and this scene really has a huge impact on Artoria.
"Why do you want to?" "Why is this happening?" "Stop it, everyone!"
Artoria thought and struggled again.
It's a pity that Rig didn't let her go, and even looked at the village below with indifference in his eyes. "See?" Rig said expressionlessly, "This is the goblin."
This kind of thing also happened in the original book.
When Artoria was considered to be the son of a fake prophecy, Tintagel, who felt that he could not sell her for a good price and had already spent all the treasure that Artoria had brought, decided to reduce the population of the village in order to survive the next winter.
And the way they reduce the population is to kill each other and kill the goblins that are not needed. Now, it seems that this thing has been staged in advance.
"Because they think you're an impostor, that you can't sell for a good price, those guys have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts."
"This dissatisfaction, after you fled, exploded very directly."
"And the way goblins vent their frustration is to vent that dissatisfaction on others." "The killing, that's how it began."
Rig finally became sarcastic.
"If it's a human being, how can it be that you can fight directly because of such a little dissatisfaction?"
"But the elves do, because they don't know what patience is."
"They can do cruel things as if nothing happened for the sake of entertainment, so what's so strange about doing things to others in order to vent their dissatisfaction?"
"This is a goblin."
Saying, General Rieger
His gaze turned to the other side.
"Instead of this, it's better to think about how those people are going to solve it." Rig held out his hand and pointed in one direction.
That's outside Tintagel.
On the road to Tintagel, a group of elves were speeding at speeds unimaginable to humans, like a herd of surging beasts, kicking up thick clouds of smoke and dust behind them.
Especially the figure at the head, his speed is indescribably fast, even if you look at it from a distance, you feel like you're watching the other party turn into a phantom and flicker towards this side, even if it is said to be moving instantly, I'm afraid some people will believe it.
"That's .....!?"
Artoria subconsciously looked in the direction that Rige was pointing, and saw this scene.
At that moment, Artoria's face turned iron-blue.
"This speed...... Only the goblins of the Tooth Clan can bring it out, right?"
"At this time, is it possible that the Tooth Clan will come to the village in droves?" "Woodworth's death squad?"
"Why ..... at this time!?" Aren't the execution squads coming tomorrow? Why are you here now!?
"Sure enough, it's the Queen's execution squad." Li Ge looked at the group of goblins of the Tooth Clan rushing towards him, and said, "It seems that they have received the news and know that the Children of Prophecy have escaped, so they will hurry up."
The Tooth Clan that was coming towards Tintagel was no match for the villagers in Tintagel.
They are the elite of the Tooth Clan, and they are the most powerful goblins in the Tooth Clan, which is known for their high combat effectiveness.
Such a group of goblins whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary goblins, if they really show their real skills to hurry, it will definitely be much faster than a train, and it is not a strange thing to be able to complete the road that can only be completed tomorrow in just a few hours.
As for why they received the news so quickly, it must be thanks to the Wind Clan goblins in the village of Tintager, right?
The goblins of the Wind Clan already have a very amazing ability to spread news, if the goblins of the Wind Clan in the village of Tintagel who suffered at the hands of Lige in order to vent their anger, they directly passed the news of the escape of the Prophecy Son to the execution team that was rushing here, and the execution team could react quickly and decided to rush towards this side at full speed, it was completely possible to arrive at this time.
This is the trouble in Lige's mouth. "Woodworth?"
Thinking of this name, which had been mentioned several times by the elves, Rige's transparent eyes flashed with a glint of essence.
"I really want to try this one's strength."
According to the original book, this one's strength is not trivial, perhaps stronger than any opponent Rieger has faced so far.
Since he thought of such a thing, it was naturally impossible for Li Ge not to think about it. So Rig began to fly in the direction of the rushing execution squad.
"Y-What are you going to do? Rige!" As if she had seen through what Rige was thinking, Artoria cried out in horror, "Wait! Calm down! Don't mess around.....
Where would Rig bother with Artoria?
The young man carrying a young girl flew directly out of the village of Tingtager, which was caught in the flames, and shook off the blood and violence behind him.
"Boom....!"
It was the sound of footsteps like the sound of the ground.
The goblins of the Tooth Clan turned into wild beasts in such a roar, charging forward at a terrifying speed, leaving behind a cloud of dust in their wake.
They look like werewolves like the Tooth Clan elves in Tintagerri, with the only difference being the color of their body hair and the fact that some of their hair is treated differently from other individuals.
They carried no weapons, no equipment, and only the simplest set of light clothing, which made them look like a pack of wild wolves
Human-like.
However, wearing only the simplest light clothes is not because the Tooth Clan has no money, nor is it because the Fairy Nation has not given them armaments.
On the contrary, it is because they are confident in their own flesh and their own strength that they think that they can dominate the battlefield without any weapons or armor.
They are the Queen's execution squad, the elite of the Tooth Clan, and the nation's army.
At this moment, they unleashed their speed in the direction of the village of Tintagir, unleashing the speed of their physical abilities far beyond that of ordinary life, and galloping forward with gusting winds, dust, and ground roars.
At the forefront of this group of Tooth Clan's elven troops, there is a goblin like no other.
He is also a goblin of the Tooth Clan, and also has a werewolf-like appearance, but he is wearing a very decent dress, and his body hair is also quite neatly groomed, quite like a prince in a beast herd.
Although he is a prince, a beast is a beast after all, no matter how well he dresses and how gentlemanly he dresses, he can't hide the fact that he is inhuman.
Therefore, the beast prince took the lead and ran at the front at a speed that even the elves of the rest of the Tooth Clan could not keep up with.
"Master Woodworth!"
Suddenly, in the execution squad, a goblin from the Tooth Clan spoke up. "Something doesn't seem right in the village ahead!"
Hearing the scout's report, Woodworth, the fairy gentleman running at the frontβββ immediately narrowed a pair of beast eyes.
"Firelight?" Woodworth whispered, "What's going on?" Naturally, no one will answer this question.
Woodworth was irritable, grinned subconsciously, and then quickly put away his threatening appearance as if remembering his identity.
Although he was a goblin of the Tooth Clan, as the queen's most loyal courtier, Woodworth had already made up his mind that he could not be considered a brute who only knew no manners.
For this reason, Woodworth is willing to hide his bestiality, hide his true nature, and be a clan goblin of the Tooth Clan who is not underestimated, not considered by others to have empty power, and an empty head like those superior goblins who know how to be polite.
No matter where you go, you have to maintain your demeanor, this is what a loyal servant of the queen should be.
Thinking like this, Woodworth's calmness that had finally risen in his heart was shattered in the next second.
"Lord Woodworth! There is a condition!"
The subordinates did not have the slightest reserve in their rough shouts, and Woodworth, who had told him to be a gentleman, almost broke his promise.
"What's wrong again!?"
Woodworth let out an annoyed voice.
"Upper!" The Tooth Clan elf, who had no idea that his allegiance was angry, pointed into the air and shouted, "Something's coming!"
With a word, all the goblins raised their heads and looked into the air. At this glance, they suddenly saw a streamer.
"Whew!"
With a faint sound of breaking the air, a figure appeared in the streamer, and stopped in mid-air while flying at great speed.
"Lancelot....!"
Seeing this scene, Woodworth couldn't help but scream, his voice full of surprise and hostility.
No way.
The person Woodworth shouted out of his mouth was an existence that competed with him for the strongest position in the fairy kingdom,
It is an opponent whom he sees as a thorn in the flesh, if not to get rid of it quickly, but also to trample it under his feet, to ridicule and abuse him.
And the reason why Woodworth is like this, shouting the opponent's name to the figure in the sky, is precisely because the other party is the famous sky knight in the fairy country, the only goblin among all the fairy knights who can dominate the sky and fly freely in the sky.
But the one who came was not Lancelot, of course.
"That's not Lancelot!"
The sharp-eyed Tooth Clan Elf observed the full picture of the other party. It was at this moment that the sky
The figure of the medium descended.
"Da!"
With the clear sound of landing, the opponent landed on both feet, blocking the way of the execution team.
"It hurts!"
There was also a girl who was thrown from the other party's hands, sat on the ground, and cried out in pain.
"Stop!"
Seeing that someone was blocking the way, and the other party was still flying from the sky like that hateful Lancelot, Woodworth subconsciously became vigilant and shouted to the troops behind him.
In an instant, all the Tooth Clan goblins who were running wildly at an astonishing speed all stopped, allowing the dust wind rolling up behind them to slowly subside.
γ---γ
An indescribable silence began to permeate the surroundings.
"Who are you?"
Woodworth, on the other hand, kept his wolf-like eyes open on the uninvited guests blocking his way.
"Me?"
The boy smiled.
"A human passing by."
