BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49 Goblin
It has already been 2 hours since the knights went to search the surrounding area looking for any kind of clue.
After seeing that everything was right, he turned his attention to Liam.
"Liam, do you think I did the right thing?" Luis questioned Liam; he actually wanted to kill that Theodore, but this would be a war crime of killing the commander.
"You did nothing wrong, Young Master. He didn\'t carry the responsibility of a true commander. All he sought was personal gain—a coward at heart. If it had been the master, he would\'ve faced far more severe consequences." Liam reassured Luis.
"Hmm, I hope he won\'t cause trouble later." Luis nodded with a stern expression.
"Young Master," Liam spoke cautiously, bowing his head slightly. "I revealed some of our background to him. I told him about the families behind the previous baroness and the current baroness. If I\'ve done something wrong, please punish me."
"You should show your background when necessary; there is nothing to be sorry about." Luis laughed out loud hearing Liam.
"Now, that coward at least won\'t dare to be a nuisance. Revealing some powers can indeed deter many people."
Luis shook his head as his expression became thoughtful.
"One more thing, Liam, why does it seem like there is conflict between Father and War Council?" Luis expressed his doubt.
"The War Council consists of many nobles and high-ranking knights. Under it are different nobles from various provinces. There are many factions in this war council. Some seek personal benefit. Master strongly opposes those greedy nobles."
"Due to this, there was conflict. There are nobles high above delaying war trying to get the most benefit out of it, disregarding the lives of normal people. So, Master and several other nobles who couldn\'t stand this fought against those greedy nobles in the War Council."
Liam explained seriously with his expressionless face.
"They sure are greedy." Luis nodded quickly at this. "There is a lot of information not mentioned in books; be sure to inform me about these things before hand."
"If such things are hidden, I surely will suffer losses." Luis turned his attention back to the map.
Liam nodded in agreement. "I will make sure to keep you informed of such matters, young master."
Luis then focused on his body; he could feel the life seed in his body has been growing constantly. At this rate, according to his estimate, it will take 6 months.
If life potions and powders can be taken, it will be reduced by more than half. This was already very fast due to the help of both worlds; otherwise, he would still be in Apprentice Knight Realm till now.
As his mind wandered through these thoughts, a sudden movement on the map caught his attention. He saw six dots running straight in his direction. It was John and his other friends.
The six groups of green lights turned into 20 as they returned to him.
Luis eyes swept over them, and he focused his eyes on John.
"Did you make any findings?" Luis asked
"Boss, about 50 miles to the east of this Rocky Mountain Range, there is a group of cowardly goblins," John quickly said.
Luis hearing this was surprised; he quickly mounted into his horse.
"Liam station here and wait for others. I will go see those cowardly goblins." Luis ordered Liam hurriedly.
After saying this, he followed John towards the cowardly goblins. The first thing is to find out about the numbers of those cowardly goblins.
If there were only a few thousand cowardly goblins, then needless to say, his 400 knights will be enough to deal with them. However, if there are tens of thousands, then various methods have to be considered.
"I hope there is not too much," Luis murmured as he made his way.
They quickly reached towards the area where those cowardly goblins were spotted. After reaching there, Luis opened his vortex.
"John, go through and bring back 50 official knights. We\'ll need them for this mission." Luis said, observing the surrounding
John nodded and disappeared into the vortex.
----
After just a few minutes, 50 strong knights were present in front of Luis.
"I don\'t need to tell you much. Spread out and assess the goblins\' numbers. Be discreet, and if you need to, kill them silently. I don\'t want them alerted just yet."
Everyone followed the instruction and spread out, moving stealthily through the area. Luis too roamed around the area.
Cowardly Goblins are from the Goblin race. They are the weakest compared to other goblins.
But this depends on quantity. If the numbers of goblins are in the tens of thousands, even the cowardly goblin will have considerable strength.
He could have basically attacked those weak goblins directly, but it would be trouble if there are many cowardly goblins. It would be a dream for less than a thousand people to keep those cowardly goblins. Those goblins are known for their cowardice; if they feel danger, they can run at double their own speed.
Luis encountered cowardly goblins along the way. However, he didn\'t have to do anything; those knights behind him ended the cowardly goblin\'s life quickly.
After roaming for some more time, Luis found a hidden cave. He along with others entered it.
There was nothing at first, but the cave went very deep. As they entered deeper, the cowardly goblins began to be spotted.
They began to kill and cautiously enter the cave. After some probing, Luis took a deep breath. There were at least tens of thousands of cowardly goblins.
These weak creatures multiply very quickly. They are so weak that a normal human can fight against two or three cowardly goblins if they have weapons.
Luis regrouped with his knights and quickly made a decision.
"John, return and bring everyone here. We need to set up a large net to trap and kill them all."
If any of those goblins is left alive, it will multiply to thousands in no time.
As they waited for reinforcements to arrive, Luis\'s mind raced with strategies. The goblins might be weak, but if they were spooked, they would flee, and chasing them down would be near impossible.
