I buried my sword into the ground and burned the scene in front of me into my eyes.
Right now, the elves were chasing after my goblin subordinates. Their swords buried into the retreating backs of the goblins, giving rise to many death throes.
—Not yet…
“My king! Please forgive me.” The wide-eyed Gi Jii knelt before me and bowed his head.
“Go,” I curtly said as I waved my hand to dismiss him, then I pulled out my great sword.
The Sword that Dances with the Black Flames, Flamberge.
I carried that sword that was as long as I was tall on my shoulder, then I turned to the counter attack platoon behind me and declared, “We are the warriors of the Demon Children of ChaosGoblins… Fear is cowardice! So howl!”
In the next moment, a great battle cry bellowed out from the horde.
“Attack!” I ordered the goblins over that great cry, then I turned toward the approaching enemy and ran toward them.
The enemy was so numerous it was almost as if the land had been replaced by them. Exhaling a faint breath, as if to release all that pent-up vigor I had, I inclined my posture forward and glared at the enemy.
“GURUuOoOoAaA!” I howled.
The howl continued behind me.
I measured distance between our approaching armies with my eye, then I directed ether to flow into my great sword.
“Turn me into a blade!Enchant”
As ether rose from the dancing-shaped blade of my great sword, I swung it.
The enemy was there to greet it, but the long sword he used to try receive my sword was cut alongside him.
After severing the enemy in two, I swept with my great sword to wipe away the flowing blood from its blade, then I bared my fangs once more.
This time the enemy welcomed me with their shields, so I sent flying away with them. Just a little, a crack had formed on the enemy’s formation.
Stepping forward, I swung my great sword overhead and swung it down on a clump of enemy soldiers.
As I wrecked havoc on the enemy soldiers, the sound of iron clashing with iron rang behind me.
The now pursuing goblins were fighting with the enemy elves.
They were equipped with blue-silver steel (srilana) equipment, but they were all actually just normal class. As a race, they were weaker than the Gaidga, slower than the Paradua, and were less dexterous than the Ganra, yet they desperately followed my back into the enemy platoon that had just destroyed Gi Jii’s forces and were counterattacking.
They lined up their spears and fought desperately while covering each other and substituting the injured whenever needed.
The elves fought desperately too.
The place we were fighting at was one of those stopover villages between Sinfall and Sheng. This one in particular was closest to Sinfall.
It wasn’t easy coming up with a plan that minimized losses against these clever elves, so I prioritized minimizing our losses and buying time over protecting the villages.
In order to raise goblin commanders, I have intentionally led this counterattack platoon myself and protected the other platoon as they retreated. To that end, I even chose to personally undertake the duty of stopping the enemy.
The enemy seems to have noticed my intentions, considering their attacks have become even fiercer.
—But…
I ground my teeth.
The corpses of my fellow warriors who I couldn’t save filled my vision. We couldn’t attack any earlier because of the plan. The reason this counterattack could become a success was because the enemy was properly lured. That’s why we were able to stop them now. That’s why we were able to execute this counterattack.
But while I might understand that in my head, I still couldn’t stop the rage burning within me from rising.
I swung my great sword fearlessly and took down enemy after enemy.
Killing my subordinate is like taking away my limbs.
—You will pay!
“GURUuRUooOaAaAa!”
In my fury, I bellowed out The World Devouring Howl. Its great power suppressed everyone around me, but then arrows came shooting from afar.
—As usual, their response is fast. The enemy is serious too.
I swept with my great sword to fend off the enemy’s concentrated attack, but I couldn’t fend everything off. There were countless arrows clad in ether mixed in with the normal arrows.
Wind, water, fire, those varied arrows came pouring down on me endlessly. At the same time, I had to deflect the attacks of the enemy pouring in from the flanks, while I cut the enemy down.
