159 Tue – Chaos and the Great Invasion (4)
Goblins, beasts that once constituted the lower classes of the demon realm, such as kobolds and gnolls.
However, like other surviving monsters, a ray of grace came down to them.
The one who seized the opportunity was a clan called mountain goblins because of their green skin. They took advantage of that opportunity and grew rapidly.
“Nothing is affected by detection magic.”
“The same goes for sound detectors.”
Now they were not weak. The reconnaissance team, which communicated with their characteristic squeaky voice, reconnaissanced around the border area using the magic they had learned as well as recently acquired military equipment from the rebel coalition.
“Go back.”
The leader of those who were riding on a one-eyed wild dog the size of an Earth wolf smiled and ordered the withdrawal.
In fact, there was nothing special about it, although it was constantly reconnaissance.
The Earth Allied Forces, an enemy that cannot move silently because they need equipment to fight them, was not moving in the garrison, and the other goblin clans that once lived here were all killed or taken as slaves.
They were the rulers of this place, and they were a lord force recognized by the Demon World Federation.
“Hmmm. Then I’ll put the equipment in.”
At the command of the boss, the goblins began to prepare to leave again.
At that time, the goblin, who was touching the backpack-sized equipment provided by the rebel coalition, discovered a strange thing in the equipment that had not been a problem until recently.
“what?”
“What’s going on?”
“There is something, there is nothing.”
The bastard looked at the head, not knowing what to do. The head, who became the captain because he was a little smarter, frowned at the words of his subordinate who spoke contradictory words.
“What the hell do you mean?”
“Something has been enchanted by detection magic.”
At that time, the wizard who was scouting the surroundings with magic also looked at the head with wide-open eyes.
“…Well?”
The boss who drove the dog and moved toward the equipment the subordinate was touching, confirmed why the subordinate made such a noise and stiffened.
Clearly there was a mark on the detector. Not the 16 of them who are here now, but 17 points.
“Detection magic is a magic that searches for magical powers… There are 4 people with magic here, not 3 people.”
The wizard put a word on the confusion.
“So, there must be someone who is invisible here right now!”
The boss pulled out his staff. They don’t have a concept like a ghost. However, as a living organism, he felt an instinctive fear of the unknown.
“wherever…”
The head of the head, who looked around vigorously, was speechless. The legs, belly, chest, and sword that slowly begin to unhide and reveal themselves in front of none other than themselves.
Starting from the bridge and slowly raising his gaze upwards, the head saw the shining red eye light, and the moment he saw the gleaming red eyes, his head was cut off by the swinging sword and he flew through the sky.
“Enemy!!”
As the corpse of the head who had lost his head fell, the frightened wizard shouted. At the same time, the goblins reflexively attacked Kang Do-yeon, who had escaped from hiding.
However, goblins were not as strong as orcs or trolls in their individual strength.
Their specialty as a unit is nothing but rapid breeding and group tactics, and it was impossible to demonstrate 100% in the current situation.
“I didn’t even have to go out. It’s like I’ve become some kind of fallen angel.”
Oh Yoon-ah, who arrived one step late, muttered as she released her secret.
Kang Do-yeon, who twisted her body on the spot, with a single blow using four black wings and a sword that came out of her back, crushed the goblins as well as the goblins, leaving deep and long traces on the nearby ground.
The current situation of having to take root in a new world is similar to the Legion just after leaving the labyrinth.
“How many do you think you can fight at once?”
“If all I know is about them, hundreds more.”
When Oh Yoon-ah, who had seen her power for the first time, asked with a smile, Kang Do-yeon came up with an answer after calculating her own.
Of course, it only counts when you collide head-on with them alone.
In the first place, her special feature is that she has transcendental firepower and mobility compared to her size and mass.
Literally, it was her own idea that she could not lose forever if she could run wildly as she wanted to because she was made to fight the army alone.
“I kept my silence like this, but anyway, their patrols are all dead. That means you’ll know something’s wrong. Be prepared.”
“What the hell has happened to you?”
Kang Do-yeon immediately ordered the cleanup. Oh Yoon-ah muttered desperately at the appearance of her friend who had changed too much even if she changed.

“Humans don’t move today.”
“Yes.”
“Uh, that’s good.”
The man who received the report grinned. The king of goblins, now recognized as the ruler of the area from the lowest class monsters.
The gnome’s name was Kuulka, and it wasn’t a name he had given himself, but a name he had been given. none other than from the benefactor who bestowed blessings on himself and his people.
“Then we can continue to move our troops and continue to expand our territory.”
[Yes. That’s it]
The voice that echoed in his brain also sympathized with Kuulka’s squeaking words as he sat on a splendid throne.
Like North America and parts of Europe, the Earth Alliance and the Demonic Spirits actively waged war with each other without any rest, but there were also places where either side was pushed back or just maintained a vigilant posture.
The area currently occupied by the goblins was an area where they only maintained a vigilant stance against each other.
And this situation in which neither side could move hastily and only confrontation was such a sweet time for Kuulka.
During this time, he moved his main force and attacked other goblins in the area, subjugating them and calling them out. It was a bonus to acquire resources and skills in exchange for sending support troops to other areas.
As if playing a game of growing a civilization, the players of Kuulka thoroughly exploited the current situation and raised their units into a large force with more than a million heads.
“But, the king. There is nothing left around now.”
“Gate. You can attack the Earth directly beyond the gate.”
The recent problem is that there are no neutral forces around to loot. Unless they were a strong group like a troll, most of the local neutral forces in the demon world were absorbed or merged by units that were already called out in size.
[Hmm, if you stimulate those who are still standing, they will definitely react. I’m not very interested in going to war for nothing. However, the Earth is definitely not a place where many powers unite like the demon realm]
They’re the smartest goblins, but they’re still goblins. In fact, the player acting as Kuulka’s brain substitute came up with the characteristics of Earth.
[Then, you can loot it from another area.]
The plan he had prepared was to send troops for looting from other regions to Earth.
A player who was vaguely aware of the interests of each country on the earth did not think that the enemies fighting with them would come forward if other continents across the sea were being attacked in a trivial way.
“Then, send a loot right now to get slaves and supplies…”
“Look, see the big deal!”
But then there was news. In fact, the disappearance of a single reconnaissance team may seem trivial, but at first, it was a sudden news from a place that the player had not even thought of.
[human? Oh no, are you human? After all, there were some people on Earth who wielded strange powers]
Goblins players use the history function to check what happened to their units.
I was able to confirm the appearance of the assailant who attacked the reconnaissance team. even that power. However, he did not yet have any information about the legion that is now poking around a part of the universe. How much more can we know the face of a high school girl who has already been killed in the past on Earth.
[But why did the Earth Allied Forces have a single reconnaissance unit? Are they other guys?!]
For now, the player has ruled out the possibility of the Earth Allied Forces facing each other. It was because of his intuition that he was not an ordinary existence from the appearance and the aura that he exuded.
“You dared to attack us, so we must subdue it.”
Kuulka grunted without thinking deeply. The player who had been rolling his head alone agreed to that this time.
“Reconnaissance in the area once again. Send the red ones just in case.”
He ordered his subordinates to reconnaissance this time with units of units.
Its main axis was not the mountain goblin, its kin. This time, the desert goblins called Red Face became the main axis of the unit because they had red skin overall.
Originally, the desert goblins, which were more prosperous than the green-skinned mountain goblins, were those who were conquered and enslaved by the mountain goblins they ignored from the beginning.
Kuulkana players always put these slave-class goblins first in the spearhead of the tough work or battlefield.
“Okay. Attack! Go!”
The subordinates who received the order went out all at once and gathered the troops.
In the first place, information about the Legion is only known to the human forces in the universe that are currently under direct damage or those who are connected with it.
The rather simple Kuulka, as well as the actual brain player, left this incident in their own memory, and did not actively publicize it or think deeply about it.
