8th floor – Lv. 195 Fortress Commander(1)
A god of war and wildness, a god who creates a greenskin faction that no one cares about for goblins.
how lucky this is
If he was a god of war and death, his position was high enough to have a goblin shaman commander due to the nature of the goblin’s race, which is strong in necromancy.
If he was a god of war and destruction, he would have met something like a goblin suicide bomber, but back then, it was an important bullet, so management was thorough.
There are few other greenskins that take great interest in the goblins of the feral god who are no less than a slave class.
We, who infiltrated with most of the bulky equipment hidden, entered the fortress without any guards’ attention.
Although it is called a fortress, it does not have a rugged and robust taste like a human castle.
That’s how it looks from the outside. From the inside, it looks even better.
It’s like a shanty town where the whole place is noisy and arbitrarily built up. It is a design that focuses on just exuding a presence rather than expecting defensive power.
No, did you design it? didn’t you?
For Greenskins, a fortress means ‘We are here!!! Come and jump on it, you bastards!!!’ closer to the same proclamation.
Of course, I don’t take the Mercury Wars into account. A place where only strong men live and weapons and weapons are crafted and stored.
That would be the general perception.
If the enemy advances here and approaches the fortress, the greenskin is not to defend, but to go out and rotate to meet.
To be honest, they are now enemies.
Ugly and dirty are the barriers to entry, but once you get used to it, the taste of mulberry is amazing.
But that very filth seemed terribly off-putting to the girl.
“Do I really have to go this far?”
“Where in the world is a clean goblin? Be patient. And didn’t you work out and do it?”
“Oh, how good the treatment was back then. I even assembled and installed the shower facility myself.”
“Oh… the military doesn’t do that either.”
“I was classified as a special warfare force. I’m not exactly a soldier, but that’s how you treat me?”
“I understand.”
Of course, there are few guys who listen to the conversations between goblins.
The girl, who was cringing at first, after a while, babbled and spoke.
Still, seeing that the impression does not open, the mud and filth that have been rubbed away seems to be very painful.
The hunter hated it a little, but he got used to it, and the youngest was not used to looking up at the world rather than being dirty.
When it comes to body size, the biggest difference is.
Originally he was about 2 meters tall, but now he’s about 150 centimeters tall.
That’s big for a goblin. The girl looks less than 130 cm.
walking on dirty sidewalks There were a lot of onlookers around the orcs who pointed loudly.
There is also an ogre lying on the side of the road and sleeping.
A thumping troll is grabbing the leg of some beast and devouring it. It is raw, uncooked meat.
In the meantime, the goblins doing chores here and there were barely noticeable.
Greenskin’s little workers clean up even if they’re not clean. They move and move animal meat.
In some cases, it is stolen by an ogre passing by while moving.
Then it droops in disappointment and heads again in a different direction.
Our party was also moving with sticks and poorly made wooden barrels scattered around the corner.
Anyone who sees it is a group that receives orders and goes to clean up somewhere.
“No one really cares.”
“You’ve never done this before?”
“Because I’ve never seen a race card, let alone this level of magic.”
“I can.”
There is no separate destination. This is what happens when you walk around.
“Wait, you guys, where are you going to work? Keruk.”
They also have a society. They are treated as slaves and exist separately from the ruling class above orcs, but if there is a group, there is always a leader.
A goblin, taller and more well-dressed, summoned us.
“These guys I haven’t seen. Did you come up from the south? Keruk.”
“Yes. I followed the brigade.”
“If it’s a brigade, the Storm Crying Brigade? It must have been a lot of hard work.”
I just said that it was a brigade on purpose and vaguely. I haven’t heard of any other brigades in this area, but if that guy says something different, it means there’s another brigade that has already moved north.
It doesn’t seem like that though.
“But why are you here? Keruk.”
Now you have to answer well.
While coming, I looked at several goblins, and there were some with traces of battle.
The guy who had been an assassin until very recently had also caught a glimpse.
Then the answer is.
“She deserted. Keruk.”
“Oh my God. I’m glad God didn’t notice. You suffered.”
attitude is slightly different. For goblins in this world, an assassin would be such a being.
Treating consumables as the only means of increasing status, but at the same time being the equipment of the army.
As a goblin assassin, unless you have reached the highest level, you will only serve without any reward or honor.
After all, Greenskins don’t even take care of their furnishings thoroughly, so if they think they’re going to die, they often desert and come back as a handyman.
There are also individual differences in racial characteristics. Goblins are also greedy and combat-oriented like greenskins, but in a way they are also the smartest greenskins.
There are guys who take orders, but it’s common to see guys acting cunning like this.
“I heard the order to raid the human castle with us alone. So I ran away.”
“It’s really so. Why do we have to live so hard?”
Good. This is very good.
Let’s float a little more.
“Everyone died in that attack… Me and my colleagues survived…”
You can see a little bit of anger in the goblin’s eyes and then disappearing.
The slave class, regardless of race, tends to accumulate dissatisfaction little by little.
“Life is more important than setting the ball. You’ve come back well. You seem smart, so I think you can manage the guys below. I’ll tell you well.”
The guy who looked at me with impressed eyes nodded vigorously.
As an assassin, he must have seen that he had a little status.
In fact, being able to use words in a coherent manner is the axis of intellectuals in Greenskin.
I’ll be given a position like a junior manager, but I’m not going to settle down.
In the first place, the effect of the polymorph potion only lasts for a day or so.
First, I followed a young goblin who seemed to be a middle manager with the party members.
The whole of Greenskin’s fortress was already like a slum, but the area inhabited by goblins was especially bad.
If other places are shantytowns, should I say that this place only has a roof? There are no walls.
In fact, it is only natural for trolls and ogres to be homeless in the wild, as it is the standard race. Orcs and goblins have a more humanistic lifestyle, although this is the case.
“It’s bad.”
“Is the brigade any better?”
“No, it was similar.”
I see an old goblin who seems to be the captain. They are busy giving orders and moving around.
Bearded goblins are rare. usually die before then.
Everywhere, every living thing, and the elderly are treated. In particular, goblins are greenskins that know what wisdom is.
The Captain Goblin glanced at me and stopped.
“He’s a guy I’ve never seen before. Keruk.”
“This is the first time I’ve been to this fortress. When I was a member of the brigade, I couldn’t even enter, so I just stayed outside.”
“Didn’t it rain then? Are you from an assassin?”
I nodded quietly.
The Captain Goblin began to scan our party members one by one. Still, a goblin in a fortress is at the level of being in charge.
He is a little more cautious, a little smarter, and knows how to make the years he has lived his own.
I was a little nervous. If something goes wrong, it can go wrong. The equipment was also hidden outside, so something big could happen.
Magically, it’s in perfect condition, so I’ll barely figure out how to get out.
The sharp gaze of the old goblin scans us.
That gaze stays on me and the girl a little longer. I don’t know what you’re thinking.
Conversely, as I was contemplating whether I should be angry, the Captain Goblin said.
“Is that female goblin sexy? It’s a rare true wife and child. You can understand that face. After all, a man is a face.”
Hey, my God. Was that the way you looked?
I smiled mischievously.
I can feel the girl snoring next to me.
“Yeah, go and sit over there. I’ll give you a job tomorrow, so take a break today.”
The Captain Goblin said so and started moving again.
“Can I see the fortress?”
“Um? Is it the habit of being an assassin? I see. Do whatever you want. Don’t go near the fortress commander. It’s a troll.”
“Ugh, I’m not even going near it.”
“You are smart.”
* * *
Goblins often move around as needed, so even if there is a slightly unfamiliar face, there is no sense of incongruity.
That day was really spent doing chores. I don’t know if the castle might have fallen into enemy hands, but nothing is more important than gathering information from within.
This is even more so since we are not trying to overthrow this fortress by force.
The size of the fortress itself was very large as the large residents lived there. But it’s mostly wood and the last time it rained was quite some time ago.
The air is dry and easy to catch fire.
I’d better start a fire first. Even so, the decisive firepower may not be enough.
In any case, greenskins, who are physically stronger than humans, will not die if they catch fire.
Not to mention the troll, or the ogre’s hide, you won’t get badly burned.
If you do chores, you will wander around the fortress.
I used to not go near the fortress captain, but I couldn’t help but check it out.
He was a vicious young troll. Observing him closely, he remembered where he slept and his habits.
Memorize the locations of your aides as well. Let’s hit it all at once.
The party members showed their affinity and made them look at the atmosphere.
Even the girl, who was disgusted at first, said that the goblins started to look cute in her own way, and then they started getting along well.
He’s a great guy.
The youngest showed off his natural size and helped the hard-working goblins.
He was a good friend, so it seemed like he could get along easily.
The hunter made use of his dexterity and went to help making this and that.
It seems that the hunter made something like a bow for the goblins, who were able to provide all their daily necessities with home-made crafts.
When evening came, the goblin captain showed me where to sleep. He looked very tired because he had been busy doing chores all day.
Among the goblins who quickly fell asleep, I asked the party members.
“How are you? Does it look like you have a lot of complaints?”
Everyone nods their heads.
“Originally, it was said that the fortress was not this crowded. It seems that there are quite a lot of reinforcements from the south.”
“I’ve heard a lot of funny stories about it! There are some high-ranking goblin assassins among the troops coming in from the outside. But the assassins also help out and ignore other goblins. They all hate it?”
“Even so, no one thought of disobeying him. Is it because he was born that way and live that way? The treatment is so unfair.”
The hunter was calm, and the girl was cheerful.
The youngest looked a little angry. It seems that the earth where he lived is rising.
“I was looking for assassins who deserted from the Stormcry Brigade. There were more than I thought.”
“What do you say?”
Naturally, there were complaints. The brigade commander seems to have been an orc who treated goblins quite harshly.
Since he was also an old orc, he didn’t seem to feel uncomfortable with that fact.
A young, vigor, Tedundt sometimes sided with the goblins and led revolutions.
Twitund always comes out with the setting of an orc who spent his childhood in human land.
An Orc with a mindset that is not like an Orc in many ways.
“In the end, he was sad to hear that the order to raid at night was carried out.”
“Didn’t you notice?”
“Ah, that must have been a bit of a big deal. If you saw a goblin that looked like me, you wouldn’t have forgotten it, so after that, I went around with mud.”
It’s not camouflage cream, what the hell are you doing?
I really don’t know the aesthetic sense of a goblin. The girl seems to understand it better.
“I felt that you are a handsome goblin.”
“Have you already known that so well? I’ve never known for the rest of my life.”
“Um, I’m a little bit confident, but I’ve been approached by guys.”
After a brief silence, they all moaned together.
“Oh, my God.”
“Oh…….”
The girl smiles and says.
“I’ve never seen it so popular in my life. I guess I’m a beautiful goblin too.”
“crazy.”
Looking back, his likes and dislikes were clear, but he was also a sure adaptability. Actually, I like it and look at it, but it’s hard not to hate it.
“Don’t worry. I’m your uncle. The Goddess taught me how to pretend to be the owner, so I defeated them all.”
“Chaos, what are you teaching a child?”
In any case, it was confirmed that there was enough dissatisfaction that would happen if there were enough opportunities.
This is an aspect overlooked by the gods of war and savagery, but the slave class plays a huge role in maintaining troops.
This is especially common if the god’s own race is a troll or ogre.
If you choose such a race as an exile, it means that you are influenced by green skin mulberry, and goblins usually do not have much involvement in the mulberry.
It’s rare that such a thing happens, but if the goblins capable of stealth and poison rise up all at once, it’s powerful enough.
Usually, you just need to create an opportunity for this. It could be something that would make your people angry, or it could be a heroic goblin.
It would be enough to be a catalyst if it was accompanied by a tragic direction.
Goblins from assassins were recruited. These are the soldiers who deserted because of dissatisfaction in the first place.
Let’s twist the boss.
The Captain Goblin, who was heading to his better place, turned around curiously when I secretly summoned him.
After a long time, I activated [Stealth] and walked.
The unique direction, the effect of condensed shadows engulfing me. There are parts that are exaggerated with magic.
I wasn’t really trying to hide it. It’s just directing.
He approached the moon at an angle to the back and whispered. I also add a little echo to the voice by magic.
“Hey, are you satisfied with your life, where you wipe your troll’s ass every day?”
The slit eyes of the Captain Goblin opened wide enough to look round.
“You, were you a very high-ranking assassin?”
If you look at the effect, you may not know what it is, but it will look great.
