VOLUME 3: CHAPTER 203 – GI BA HAGAR (1/3)

“Gi Zu, retreat to the right flank! Gi Gu, advance!”

The Goblin King ordered the goblins, and the goblins were able to successfully fight while retreating.

He led the fight against Pena by focusing on their weak points, but as expected, they couldn’t do as much damage to the enemy when they had to retreat while fighting.

Pena also had healers among the ranks of their rear guard, and the wounded would immediately be brought to them to be tended to.

Moreover, because of the enemy army was made up of adventurers, which were used to fighting monsters and monster beasts, they were used to getting hurt.

Perhaps the goblins would have a much easier time if they were fighting an army composed mainly of conscripts that were formerly farmers, but unfortunately, the adventurers were simply too familiar with death. And as swords for hire, they were also used to bloodshed between humans.

That’s why even when the battle had reached a point where the humans should’ve started to pull back, they didn’t. And instead of being afraid, they bravely charged onward.

The Goblin King was gradually becoming impatient, but he didn’t want that to show on his face, so he bellowed out a great howl and swung his great sword.

At this rate, wouldn’t they eventually catch up to the borderlands, which they had intentionally allowed to go ahead?

The Goblin King stood in the front lines fighting bravely against the humans, but he couldn’t grasp the state of the battle.

The adventurers stood before him, and he destroyed them with his great sword, but even he was beginning to tire.

Unfortunately, he could not leave the front lines, for without him, the front lines would surely immediately be exhausted and be forced to retreat.

Although the duke class and the noble class were also present, only the Goblin King could actually lead the army.

In other words, the only reason that these hordes of goblins are able to function as an army is because the Goblin King is there to lead them.

Without him, only destruction awaited the goblins.

The Goblin King pushed down whatever impatience he felt to a corner of his heart as he focused on swinging his great sword against the enemy.

The battle had begun when the sun was at its peak, but time passed, and now it was pointing to the west.

The night was the hour of the monsters. The Goblin King believed that if they were to make a move, they had to do it with the most advantageous circumstance possible.

◆◇◆

The head of the forces of Pena, Allen, continued to receive reports of casualties that made one want to avert his eyes, but the results were equally great.

They were gradually driving the goblin forces to a corner.

Although the front lines of the goblins hadn’t collapsed, the goblins were gradually falling back.

Allen believed this was because the power of his forces was greater.

Of course, there was no way he could know that the goblins were protecting the people of the borderlands. Even if he had received such a report, he couldn’t possibly believe it.

In order to end this battle, he would lead the Blue Knights and finish off the enemy once and for all.

All the Blue Knights believe that’s what Allen would do.

However, it was almost time for the goddess of darkness, Verdna, to spread her wings and welcome the hour of the night god, Ya Jansu.

Everything has gone well for them until now, so the deciding battle would be difficult.

One wrong step and all their efforts would be put to waste.

Allen was at a loss.

Should they brave the dangers of the night and attack the goblins? Or should they take extra caution and wait until the next day before attack?

But on the other hand, if they waited for tomorrow, the goblins might well recover. Or they might even run. Allen couldn’t stop thinking such things as he watched the battlefield looking for an opportunity.

Before long a messenger on horseback came to him.

“Reinforcements from Elrain Kingdom! 6,000 horsemen!” The messenger said.

When the surrounding blue knights and adventurers heard that, they clamored.

Victory was at hand! Morale rose to an all time high.

But if the Red King defeated the goblins here, Allen’s respected queen would be affected.

This was not a battle they could give to the Red King. They had to win it by themselves. Only then would it have meaning.

In that case, then it might be necessary to muster all of the blue knights and attack.

Allen considered his next move as he watched the adventurers fight the goblins.

“How long until they arrive!?” Allen asked.

“Approximately 2 hours!” The messenger replied.

The figure of the Red King rushing madly ahead within the dark of the dusk flashed through Allen’s mind.

Allen made up his mind.

“Spread the flanks. Surround the goblins,” he ordered finally.

“Are we…!?” Allen’s adjutant asked.

Allen nodded.

“We will attack with all of our strength. Ready yourselves within 30 minutes! The Blue Knights will go around to the right flank and bring chaos to the rearguard of the enemy! We finally have the monsters by the heels! We’re not about to give this to Elrain Kingdom!”

As morale rose up high among the forces of Pena, the formation of their army started to take on the shape of a bird spreading its wings.

While the battle between the forces of Pena and the goblins continued, with each side taking turns being the dominant force, the vanguard of the Red King led by Saldin were making their way toward the goblins.

“What did the scouts say!?” Saldin yelled from atop his horse.

“Pena’s camp is half a day to the west,” his trusted friend yelled back.

“Bastards! We’re kicking it up a notch!”

Saldin lightly kicked the stomach of his horse as he urged his army to go faster.

“Those who can’t keep up, just follow later! We’re attacking the goblins with Pena from both flanks! Don’t lag behind, riders!”

The forces Saldin led were the adventurers and soldiers that survived the defeat of Razuel. They numbered 5,000. He also had the soldiers given to him by the old enchanter, Grave, adding another 1,000 sorcerer cavalry (mana guard) to his forces.

The mana guard platoon could be said to be Grave’s precious child. So, the fact he was willing to lend them to Saldin showed just how much he was expecting from him.

“To the west!”

Saldin pointed his sword toward the west as he pulled the reins on his horse and changed direction.

“We’ll take the heads of those goblins!”

Because Saldin was more spirited than normal, the morale of the army was naturally lifted.

“A reward will be given to the first spear! I will personally negotiate with our clan leader, Brandika, for it!” Saldin said as he brandished his sword above his head.

Saldin took the lead as he rode onward, voices shouting in glee as adventurers and soldiers rode after him from behind.

Two hours later, the wings of the goddess of darkness have already covered the surroundings, and voices of fighting could be heard from up ahead.

Half of Saldin’s soldier fell behind on the way here, but Saldin didn’t think that was a problem.

“Mana guards, cast flame bullets at my command! You will casting them in a volley 3 times!”

Saldin squinted his eyes as he tried to see through the dark area up ahead.

“Now! Aim toward the sky and shoot!”

The mana guards aimed toward the sky and casted their flame bullets.

Half of the one-thousand mana guards shot their flames up high.

In an instant, flames illuminated the surroundings, lifting up the veil of darkness and laying bare the terrible spectacle that was the battlefield.

Saldin thought poorly of Pena’s forces as they expanded toward both flanks. Meanwhile, he moved his entire army around the left.

“Tell the dimwits of Pena that we’re taking this one!” Saldin said to a nearby soldier before riding away. He didn’t even wait for the soldier to respond.

“Onwards!” Saldin yelled.

The brilliance from the light of the flame bullets reflected off Saldin’s long sword, turning that sword of his into a torch for the soldiers to follow.

“Second volley! Fire it just like you did the last!”

When they were passing the Pena encampment, the mana guards fired another volley.

The corners of Saldin’s mouth lifted up when he saw the goblins and the adventurers fighting.

As he smiled that bandit-like smile, he put strength into his grip on his sword.

“After the last volley, you bastards are to breakaway! Understood!?” Saldin told the mana guards.

The adjutant of Grave’s platoon nodded in response, and Saldin turned away with insanity in his eyes.

“Third volley. Let those goblins have it!!”

700 flame bullets rose up into the sky before descending and crashing into the flanks of the goblin army. As wall of flames were erected, Saldin ordered for the charge to begin.

“Charge!!”

Clouds of dust rose up behind Saldin’s force of 2,000 horsemen as they began their charge.

“WuoOOOoooOOO!”

With great vigor, the Red King began their charge.

But Gi Jii Yubu’s regiol was not just about to watch themselves be burnt and skewered.

They equipped large shields to minimize the damage from the flame bullets, then when Saldin’s horsemen began charging toward them, they raised up their spears.

“They’re coming! Push out!”

At Gi Jii’s command, they put down their large shields and held their spears with both hands as they ran to meet the incoming horsemen.

“GURUUuoAA!”

Each army bellowed out a war cry.

Roars clashing, the very air shook, and horses flew into the air as goblin limbs fluttered in the sky.

“Don’t cower! Push back!”

Gi Jii Yubu the battle demon encouraged the goblins and they fought as hard as they could. Unfortunately, the difference in numbers was simply too great.

The forces Gi Jii led now numbered only 300 after all the fighting they’ve been through.

With such a huge difference in numbers, Gi Jii had no choice but to call for a retreat after only pushing back the enemy a little.

Still, they were able to pour cold water over the enemy’s high spirits and slow down their momentum, so their attack could still be called a success.

The Goblin King used the opening Gi Jii’s army made to command the army.

“Gi Gu, retreat but don’t allow the front lines to collapse! Rashka, we’re going to the left. After me!”

At the Goblin King’s behest, Rashka and his Gaidga tribe met the cavalry in front, while the Goblin King himself took the soldiers under his direct command to meet the cavalry going left.

Gi Go Amatsuki the sword king and the others became like two spears as they bore out the enemy camp, while the Gaidga tribe’s fierce attack made the hole they bore bigger.

After temporarily dulling the enemy’s momentum, the Goblin King judged that they couldn’t survive being attacked from two sides

They could no longer wait. They had to retreat now. So, he ordered the entire army to retreat.

“Gi Zu! Gi Jii! We’re retreating the entire army! Keep the enemy here!”

“As the king commands! Rouse yourselves, goblins!”

The platoon that had been exhausted the most was none other than Gi Gu’s platoon, but still, Gi Gu took the lead and attacked the adventurers.

The rare class goblins followed him from behind. Each and everyone acting just as one would expected from Gi Gu’s subordinates, attacking with perfect coordination.

Their blood-stained axes bashed into the skulls of their foes. And when they’d judged that the enemy’s momentum had weakened, they turned around.

To protect the back, Gi Zu and Gi Jii took the flanks of the scattered clans that were attacking them, then they retreated even further.

The Goblin King himself protected the rearmost part of their line while the goblins fled into the darkness.

“Not yet. It’s not over yet!” Saldin spat from atop his horse while covered in goblin blood. “Tell the platoons coming after us! There’s no time to rest! We’re pursuing them!”

The platoons that were left behind were now just catching up. Saldin had originally planned to bring them into formation when they arrived, and then throw them into battle.

But if the goblins were retreating, then things were different.

Now that Saldin could smell victory on the horizon, he was going to pursue the goblins.

“Tell the stupid turtles of Pena to chase after the goblins! Our signal will be the flame bullets!”

After sending a nearby adventurer as a messenger, Saldin took the platoons that just arrived and began heading north.

He spread out the mana guard that Grave entrusted him, then as the dark of the night was illuminated, he chased after the goblins.

A battle of retreat while carrying the wounded soldiers was bound to be difficult.

The horses of the enemy cavalry were fast, and while the goblins possessed exceptional stamina, they were still on foot.

Perhaps if they were fighting in the forest, it wouldn’t be such a big deal, but the thing was that they were currently fighting on the plains.

The handicap of being on foot versus having a mount was simply overwhelming.

The mana guards that seemed to act as scouts would light up the night sky with their flame bullets whenever they spotted the goblins.

Even the Goblin King couldn’t avoid suffering losses at the succeeding flood of horsemen whenever they were spotted.

The goblins had to fight while retreating, then when they had opened up some distance, they would reorganize their platoons, then they would retreat again.

Fortunately, it was currently night time. So, the goblins only needed a little distance for the humans to lose sight of them.

Despite that their plans to go north using the shortest route was thoroughly ruined by Allen’s command over the Blue Knights, who kept cutting their route.

Knight-Commander Allen already knew that the goblins wanted to use the shortest route to get to the western region.

And with the Blue Knights of Pena and the horsemen of the Red King attacking the goblins simultaneously, the main force that should be protected instead ended up luring the enemy to it.

Although the Order of the Blue Knights was half-destroyed in the last battle, they were still widely known to be the best of the best.

A knight order such as that that carried the dignity of its country upon its shoulder couldn’t possibly have a cowardly soldier among its ranks. Hence, they fearlessly sought out the goblins and attacked them.

Leading the Blue Knights was none other than Allen, who’d sworn take vengeance for the death of the late Knight-Commander, Aizas. It was a taboo for the commanding officer of the entire army to lead a charge himself, but Allen purposely broke that taboo to raise the morale of his soldiers.

However, Allen wasn’t actually naive enough to think just that would be enough to defeat the goblins. After all, he still had the mixed army led by adventurers with him. As such, he prioritized finding the goblins and avoiding a direct confrontation to slowly whittle down on their numbers.

Allen skillfully took advantage of the mobility of their sand horses to execute a hit-and-run strategy repeatedly. Moreover, because he had to lead the missed army platoons as well, Allen’s abilities as a leader steadily improved.

The Blue Knights followed the goblins around like a shadow and kept forcing them to change their retreat path, but the forces of the Red King did not know about that, and they continued to head north.

Because of that, when the main force of the goblins made camp in the night, thinking to themselves that the humans must’ve exhausted themselves, they ended up clashing with the Red King’s forces.

Gi Za Zakuend, the wizard class goblin, was the one in command, for the mounted goblins of Paradua and the stealthy goblins of Gi Ji Arsil were in charge of watching the surrounding area.

When Gi Za Zakuend found out that the humans were approaching them, he immediately ordered for the army to advance north.

“Send a messenger to the king! Lord Hal, I’ll leave it to you!” Gi Za said.

Gi Za asked Hal to deliver the message for he was of the Paradua tribe. And the Paradua tribe were the most mobile of the goblins. At the same time, Gi Za asked Gi Gi to send his monsters out toward the back.

“Buy us some time! We need to endure until the king comes!”

At the same time, Gi Jii asked the assassin platoon to lead the way, while he asked Gi Ba Hagar and Zaurosh to protect the humans and run ahead to the north.

“We will keep the enemy here!” Gi Za said.

Felbi didn’t even have the leisure to ask Gi Za for his orders when his platoon drew their bows and shot at the enemy cavalry seeking to break past Gi Gi Orudo’s monster army.

Gi Za clicked his tongue as he left command of his druids to Gi Do Buruga, while he himself joined the fray. Gi Za knew this would be a hard battle.

Meanwhile, after seeing the monster army appear, Saldin’s head suddenly cooled.

“Why did they split their army into two?” Saldin wondered.

He was certain the monster army wasn’t present previously. It was common sense that having all of one’s forces in one place was the best way to use them.

Saldin knew that despite never having once studied formally. He knew it from experience. And it was also because of that experience that Saldin thoughot of the possibility of reinforcements.

“So, these guys are reinforcements?”

Although Saldin had fought the goblins, he did not actually fully comprehend them.

When he ordered for flame bullets to be casted and illuminate the surroundings, he also noticed that the elves were presnet.

“No. Could it be they’re trying to run using different paths?”

Normally, Saldin would just attack first and think later, so when the surrounding adventures and soldiers saw him actually use his head, they couldn’t help but be puzzled.

It didn’t take long before Saldin became frustrated, however.

“Damn it! If it were Carlion, he would’ve already come up with an answer!”

He had boldly declared he would save Carlion, but Carlion was so far away that he couldn’t even see his back.

Saldin glared hatefully at the enemy camp.

“General, what do we do?” A soldier asked.

But Saldin ignored him as he looked at the battlefield illuminated by the flame bullets.

“…They don’t seem to have much momentum…” Saldin muttered to himself.

As he did, it finally occurred to him.

—These guys are running!

A flash of insight from the Goddess of Wisdom.

Saldin smiled a cruel smile just like that of a bandit’s as his eyed the scene before him.

“Split the army in two!”

After receiving reinforcements, his army now numbered 4,000.

Saldin took one half of that to fight the army that was here now, while he took the other half to pursue the rest of the army that was fleeing.

Adventurers knew that goblins were sly. They would always prioritize the survival of their leader. Using their subordinates as shields was but common sense to them.

That’s why Saldin believed that the giant goblin he fought before was surely with the fleeing half. The monster army in front of him was nothing more than a way to buy time.

Saldin also divided the mana guard between his two armies before taking 2,000 horsemen with him to go around and pursue the fleeing half of the goblin army.

Saldin relied on his animal-like instincts to grasp the position of the enemy’s platoon in the north as he ordered his men to charge into Goddess of Darkness’ wings.

Although it was currently the darkest period of the day, Saldin rode without slowing down even a bit.

Saldin struck his spear and swung his sword against the shadows that moved.

It didn’t matter whether he was cutting down monster or monster beasts.

He would kill the enemy. That was all. And anyone who allied with the enemy was also nothing more than enemy.

“Kill everyone! Cut off those goblin heads!”

The spirited attack of the Red King had just begun.

The forces of the Red King approached with great momentum from behind. By the time Ra Gilmi Fishiga had noticed them, they were already close.

Ra Gilmi Fishiga had left his platoon at the back and only had the bare minimum needed to escort the humans, so his platoon couldn’t watch their surroundings as well as they could’ve.

Moreover, Hal and his Paradua goblins were originally in charge of watching their surroundings, but Hal had to deliver a message to the king, so his platoon was broken up and redistributed to the other platoons.

As for Gi Ji Arsil, he had his hands full just spotting and clearing the monsters up ahead.

“Send the humans ahead!”

Ra Gilmi Fishiga left the escort of the humans to Zaurosh and his Leon Heart Clan, while he and Gi Ba Hagar moved to the back to defend

The Ganra tribe excelled in the use of bows, so they didn’t stand a chance in a close-up fight. As such, they instead focused on defending along with Gi Ba’s platoon.

Unfortunately, the Red King’s forces slipped past them and attacked the humans instead.

Saldin couldn’t see well in the dark, so he just attacked where there were more shadows. Unfortunately, that ended up being where the people of the borderlands were.

And try as the goblins might to catch up, it was not such a simple task when they were chasing after mounted soldiers, so they had no choice but to watch the rearmost part of the line of the people of the borderlands be crushed.

“You dare!” Gi Ba Hagar held a throwing axe in one hand and a long sword in another as he jumped straight for the enemy without even bothering to consult Gilmi.

The goblins under him also followed him as soon as he bolted off.

“What? These aren’t goblins!?”

Saldin was shocked to realize that what he’d cut wasn’t a goblin but a normal human. Unfortunately, there was no stopping the momentum of his soldiers.

“Stop them! On the name of the king, kill those bastards!”

The first charge had hit the citizens of the borderlands, and now, the forces of the Red King were going around to begin a second charge.

But in the next moment, Gi Ba’s throwing axe hit a horseman at the lead, causing the horse to tumble and cause chaos for the rest of the platoon.

“Attack!”

Gi Ba boldly charged in to prolong that chaos as long as possible.

He swung his long sword as he pleased. And when it broke, he simply took the spear of the enemy.

“Go after the goblins! Who cares about some worthless human heads!?”

At Saldin’s words, focus shifted onto Gi Ba’s platoon.

As Gi Ba fought valiantly, the people of the borderlands fled the battlefield.

Gilmi’s platoon shot arrows at the enemy, but despite the rain of arrows, Gi Ba did not stop fighting once.

If the goblins were to retreat now, the enemy cavalry would attack again, and the people of the borderlands would surely get hurt.

“Lord Gi Ba! We must retreat!” Gilmi said.

But Gi Ba ignored him as he bellowed out a howl. “GURUuoAA!”

Gi Ba mustered all of his strength and skewered an enemy soldier along with the horse, then he flung them away.

“If you want to leave, then leave! I will stay behind and stop the enemy!” Gi Ba told Gilmi.

It was only a moment, but Gilmi clearly felt Gi Ba’s resolve, so he simply nodded and turned heel.

Before returning to escort the humans, Gilmi’s platoon shot three volleys of arrows toward the enemy humans that sought to surround Gi Ba.

Now that Gi Ba and his platoon were few in numbers, they took full advantage of the night’s darkness. They went wild in the cramped battlefield and attacked any enemy whenever they met one.

Saldin and his soldiers were too many, so they had difficulties catching Gi Ba and his men. Whenever they tried to surround him, Gi Ba and his men would target the weakest part of their encirclement and break through.

Saldin’s promise of a reward only served to worsen their current situation. After all, everyone here on Saldin’s side was fighting to get that reward, so everyone just kept attacking the goblins. There weren’t any sense of teamwork at all.

It was as if a mountain of gold had been piled before their eyes. They all selfishly pushed everyone around them away as they desperately ran to claim a portion for themselves.

Gi Ba broke through Saldin’s attempted surround 4 times. And each time, although it was hard to see because of how dark it was, Saldin’s face would twist in anger.

“What the fuck are you guys doing!? There’s no more than 200 soldiers on the enemy’s side!” Saldin was throughly enraged, but when he saw enemy reinforcement coming, his eyes became sharp.

“…I’ve seen this guy before. Fine. I’ll take him down myself!” Saldin said

“Lord Gi Ba!” Zaurosh cried out.

Gi Ba had resolved to stay behind to stop the enemy here, but Zaurosh the Lord Commander of the Leon Heart Clan came back to save him.

Zaurosh swung his sickle spear and cut down an enemy horseman to ensure the goblins’ safe retreat.

“Secure a path of retreat! Just hold on a little!” Zaurosh said to his platoon, then he went to where Gi Ba was and said, “Lord Gi Ba! Please retreat!”

“You shouldn’t have come! I will fulfill my duty!” Gi Ba replied as he continued to cut down enemy after enemy on the spot.

Zaurosh could clearly feel Gi Ba’s resolve, but he couldn’t understand why.

“Look. My legs can no longer move,” Gi Ba said.

Zaurosh looked down at Gi Ba’s legs, and what he saw was a convulsing leg that was full of wounds. It must’ve been bleeding all this time.

When Zaurosh looked back up at Gi Ba, the goblin’s face was full of emotions. This was despite Gi Ba glaring hatefully at the enemy ahead.

Zaurosh could only twist his face, unable to say anything.

But then Gi Ba spoke.

“…You’re human, but… You’re a good friend,” Gi Ba said.

It hasn’t been long since they were deployed in the south, but Gi Ba and Zaurosh were no doubt comrade-in-arms who’ve fought side-by-side.

Because of the divine protection he received, Gi Ba had always hated humans, but Shumea caused a change in him. And now, there was a human willing to risk his life to save him.

After meeting these two humans, Gi Ba had changed his view on humans.

Gi Ba watched death as it came for him.

“It is a pity that I will no longer be able to fight with you.”

Curiously, within the fierce battlefield, where metal clashed against metal and life against life, on the verge of death, Gi Ba spoke peacefully.

“Fulfill your duty, my friend. As for I, Gi Ba Hagar, this battle is my duty!”

Gi Ba bellowed that out as he deflected a spear and lopped off the arm that had thrust it toward him.

“…The fortunes of war be with you!” Zaurosh said as he turned around.

Gi Ba glanced at him as he left, then smiled a ferocious smile as he resumed the killing.

“Come, humans! See if you can get this head of mine!”

Long swords came swinging for Gi Ba from both sides, then as the humans were shocked, he swung his own long sword and slammed it into their heads.

Gi Ba forced his unmoving leg to to take another step, then he pierced through the neck of the human, and then lopped of the head.

The goblins under Gi Ba also knew that they were going to die, so they fought without restraint.

With only 100 goblins left, the encirclement of the Red King’s force was simply too great to overcome.

“Get out of the way, fools!” Saldin said angrily as he hastily appeared before Gi Ba while covered in blood.

“Hey, Goblin… We meet again,” Saldin said.

Saldin’s eyes had a fierce glint to it that seemed sharp enough to cut.

“…This would be our third time meeting, human! But, this is good. Now, you can accompany me to hell!”

“Way to exaggerate.”

Saldin’s vigorous attack bore out Gi Ba’s arm, but Gi Ba didn’t seem to mind the wound at all as he raised up his sword.

When Gi Ba’s long sword descended, Saldin met it with his.

With Gi Ba pinned down by Saldin, the forces of the Red King started taking down Gi Ba’s platoon one by one.

The goblins that have fought with Gi Ba all this time fell one after another.

“GURUuoOOOOAA!”

“UOouuOOOAA!”

Saldin and Gi Ba put everything on the line as they clashed in spirit.

The sound of battle cries and swords clashing resounded together throughout the battlefield like music.

It was a music produced from the battle between a goblin and a human, but before long, the cries ended, and only the clash of swords remained.

Sparks erupted and the sounds of iron crushing resounded.

Saldin managed to cut off one of Gi Ba’s arm, while Gi Ba managed to deeply wound Saldin’s leg.

They were both heavily wounded, but neither side was willing to step back.

The clash between a human and a goblin burned fierce like a great blaze, but the time to conclude had already come.

Gi Ba’s body was covered in holes from Saldin’s sword. And with the last of his strength used, Gi Ba fell to his knees.

“You sure are persistent for a goblin,” Saldin said.

“For the sake of my friend and the king! I won’t lose!” Gi Ba said, then he mustered the last of his strength and attacked one last time.

But Saldin calmly dodged it and cut Gi Ba powerfully from the shoulder to the chest.

“My friend… Take care of… the king…”

As blood spurted out from the wound extending from his clavicle to his heart, the last of Gi Ba’s strength left him.

Like that the life of Gi Ba Hagar the Fierce Arms came to an end.

“Friend? Take care of the king? …Fool. why would a goblin say the same things as…”

Saldin looked down at the goblin he cut and remained frozen on the spot for a while.

When some of his subordinates tried to cut off the goblin’s head, he hit them and told them off.

In the end, he took Gi Ba’s long sword and struck it into the ground before Gi Ba’s body.

“…We’re pursuing the enemy,” Saldin said.

As Saldin turned his back, a messenger from Brandika – who had found out about the pursuit – arrived to tell them to withdraw.
