Chapter 89 : Monster Extermination (4)
Troglodyte. Also known as cavemen.
Their skin and appearance were similar to fish, but they had no eyes. They had degenerated from living only underground. Instead, their hearing was extremely developed.
Although they were slightly smaller than humans and their physical abilities were not that outstanding, their ability to dig the ground was second to none.
They attacked by hiding underground and suddenly popping out, and since there was no way to detect them unless you used search magic, they were quite threatening.
“Enemies!”
W е́ b̆ nо v̊ e l Ё ǹum а
“Watch your feet!”
Troglodytes popped out with piles of dirt from here and there. It wasn't just on the Griffith side; enemies were spotted throughout the entire procession.

The subjugation force fell into chaos. The soldiers didn't know what to do when hideous monsters suddenly popped out in the middle of their formation.
“Get a grip! They’re not dangerous!”
The Lyndon army, which had fought with troglodytes several times, calmly responded.
But the other armies were a mess. Garrison, which was in the lead, was in a frenzy, screaming.
W̄ё b̂ ṅ о̄ vе̂l̈ Е n úm̂ а
Although they had boasted so much about being all knights, when they actually encountered the monsters, they were so surprised that they couldn't even fight properly. The fact that their bodies were stiff from the cold must have also had an effect.
‘As expected.’
Zaken sneered.
Most of the knights belonging to the domains were like that. Although they were used to killing humans, they had never properly encountered monsters.

Even though they had memorized information about monsters, when they actually faced them, they were scared by their alien appearance.
It wasn't just Garrison; the armies of the other families were also the same. Their formations had long since collapsed, and there were also those who were running away.

It was refreshing to see the guys who had been bragging that it would be a very easy battle and had been treating the Lyndon army as a defeated army showing such a pathetic appearance.
‘Are the only proper ones from Griffith?’
The Griffith army had formed a square formation in advance and had spread out wide, so they could naturally surround the monsters that had popped out from the middle. Since they were preparing to fight according to Edward’s command, their response was also fast.
Above all, the Griffith army was not afraid of the monsters at all.
It wasn't just that they weren't afraid; they also weren't clumsy. The soldiers calmly and quickly attacked the monsters’ weak points and subdued the monsters faster than the Lyndon army.
‘Were there monsters in Griffith?’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a well-known fact that the ruins of the Demon King’s castle were in the Griffith domain.
But the monsters had been wiped out a long time ago. He had heard that the last one was discovered hundreds of years ago.
It seemed they would have to fight at least dozens of times to show that level of proficiency. The skill of the Griffith army was truly a mystery.
‘How did they do it?’
It was also Edward who had found out that the troglodytes were hiding under the marching route in the first place.
Since troglodytes did not use mana, even aura knights could not detect them well. But Edward had even found out their exact location.
E n̄ǔṁ а̄.і́ d̆
‘It wasn’t a rumor.’
Zaken also knew that Edward had shown great performance during the domain war. Since the stories were too absurd, he had not believed them as they were.

Seeing it in person, he certainly had an extraordinary side. Although he hated to admit it.
“Watch out!”
“It’s a rock attack!”
Before they had even finished dealing with the troglodytes, the scout’s shout was heard.
Ẅ е b́n_ó v̈е̂ l Е̂ ňu m̆ à
Rumble.
Before the shout had even ended, rocks larger than a person broke through the trees and came out, covering the procession.
They had been rolled from the high ground on both sides of the path toward the marching route in the low-lying area.
“Aaaah!”

The soldiers, who had been distracted by fighting the troglodytes, were crushed by the rocks.
This time, the Lyndon army was also caught helplessly.

“Open the way!”
Griffith was different.
They had already changed their formation and had widened the gap, and since they had dealt with all the troglodytes, they had room to spare.
The soldiers moved in perfect order according to Edward’s command, and the rocks stopped without harming anyone.
“Damn it…”
Zaken, who had lost his soldiers, lamented.

Edward’s words were right. Because the forest was so dense, the scouts’ vision was limited. Otherwise, they would have reported it sooner.
It was also a problem that the marching route was a low-lying area. If it weren't for that, it would have been impossible to attack by rolling rocks from the high ground.
“Enemy attack! Ugh!”
“Kueeeek!”
As soon as the scouts’ screams were heard, gnolls armed with clubs and stone spears attacked the subjugation force. They were the most threatening enemy among the monsters as a single entity.
With a human-sized physique, their strength and speed were similar to or slightly better than humans. Their disadvantage was that they were not smart, but since these guys were following the orders of a smart hobgoblin, they couldn't even use that.

Stab!
“Ugh!”

“Th-this is crazy!”
“Don’t retreat!”
A soldier who could not use aura had lower individual combat power compared to a knight. Instead, they could maximize their combat power by forming a formation.
But the subjugation force’s formation had already been broken, and the soldiers who had not encountered monsters were seized with fear and could not even display their usual skills.
Ẃӗb̌ n̈о vе l Е̊ ñu m̀ ӓ
‘Damn it.’
Zaken blamed himself.
He should have taken the initiative and pushed his own way instead of handing it over to the inexperienced and arrogant young masters in the first place.
Since his status was low and he was in a position of receiving support, the fact that he couldn't do so had led to this tragedy.

It didn't matter if the armies of the other families were damaged. He had even secretly wished for it. But looking at the current situation, it seemed he had to worry about survival, let alone subjugation.
‘But it should be fine since those guys are there.’
Ӗ n̈ ů m а .ǐ d̊
Only Griffith had shown a perfect response.
The formation, which had become dense again, was like an iron wall, and the soldiers used their long spears to turn the gnolls into beehives before they could even get close. The guys who had barely broken through the square formation were also hacked to pieces by the knights.
“Come on! You ugly bastards!”
“They’re not dogs, they’re hyenas.”
“What? What’s a hyena?”
“…It’s an animal that looks like a dog.”

“…”
Edward and William were slaughtering the gnolls while leisurely exchanging jokes.
“For the glory of Griffith!”
“For Young Master Edward!”
“For General William!”
“…”

“Aren’t you going to follow?”
“…For General William.”

The morale of the unit was also full. Even in a crisis situation, no one was intimidated or flustered. They were full of fighting spirit, like warriors thirsty for battle.
He was curious what kind of training they had to receive to become like that. As a fellow commander, he was envious of Edward.
“They’re coming from above too! The rear will take care of what’s above our heads!”
“Yes! Young Master!”
Е̂ ñ u mà
The formation of the Griffith army changed once again.
Zaken also looked up. There were things flickering between the leaves.
“Above! The hobgoblins are coming through the trees!”
As soon as he informed his subordinates, a swarm of hobgoblins poured down on the subjugation force’s heads.

“Damn it!”
Although Zaken had fought with hobgoblins several times, this was a first.
Ē nùmа. і̌d̂
He had known that they were hard to see if they hid in the bushes because their skin color was similar to the color of the leaves, but he had not known that they could also climb trees well.
‘They’ve prepared thoroughly.’
Although the monsters had shown an elusive appearance before, this time they seemed to have prepared more thoroughly. They must have spied on the domain and found out that reinforcements had arrived.
It felt like he was facing a guerrilla unit led by a veteran general, not a low-intelligence monster.
The only good thing was that they had not been attacked jointly. If Edward had not discovered the troglodytes hiding in the ground in advance, they would have been attacked from three sides.
The credit for discovering the hobgoblins in time was also great. Although he couldn't figure out how he had done it, if it weren't for Edward, they would not have been able to avoid annihilation.

“I am Kobi, the one who kills knights!”
Just then, a voice that seemed to scratch the eardrums was heard through the noise of the battle.
The hobgoblin leader appeared on a hill overlooking the procession of the subjugation force.
It was that guy who had united the three races that had been fighting for territory and had formed a coalition army, and who had been harassing the Lyndon army with guerrilla tactics using the terrain.
“You humans who have trespassed on our land without fear! I will tear you all to pieces!”
The hobgoblin named Kobi shouted, with the veins on his neck bulging.
Ẅ е b_ň о v̂ e l Еn umа
“Damn it.”
Zaken groaned. He was a guy who was hard to catch even when the army’s situation was fine, but he had to appear at a time like this.

Moreover, since the reward on that guy’s neck was so large, the young masters would not stand still.
If they moved their troops recklessly to catch Kobi in this already chaotic situation, it would become a mess.
“Die!”
Kobi jumped straight from the top of the hill to the Garrison knights. Hundreds of hobgoblins followed Kobi and poured down like a waterfall. Looking at their different attire, they seemed to be a kind of royal guard.
Е n ů m а̇. і̆ d
From the side of the subjugation force, another wave of gnolls and troglodytes rushed in. Their number seemed to be at least in the hundreds.
“Catch him! Catch that guy!”
Although George pointed at Kobi and shouted at the top of his lungs, the knights were just flustered and could not get a grip.
Slice!

“Ugh!”
“You bastard!”
Ѐňûm ä.і̌d
Kobi ran wild at a tremendous speed, killing the knights. Even with an aura shield, it was quickly broken when he was hacked at with a sword.
The royal guard hobgoblins were also no ordinary. They were fast enough to dodge the knights’ swords, and even if their arms were cut off, they would cling on and bite their ears, their fighting spirit overflowing.
The Garrison family seemed to be in a very precarious situation.
‘This is not the time to worry about those guys.’
The Lyndon army was also facing a great crisis.
Because of the monsters rushing in from all directions, casualties were occurring one after another. The soldiers had lost their will to fight, and the knights were collapsing due to being outnumbered.

No matter how many they killed, there was no end to the monsters. It seemed as if all the monsters in this mountain had gathered. Just as the subjugation force had been determined, the monsters were also determined.
“This is driving me crazy.”
The color of defeat was deepening. Subjugation was not the problem. If they stayed like this, they might be annihilated.
He didn't care about the other guys, but he had to save the Lyndon army somehow.
“Hoo…”
Zaken was about to order a retreat, but he swallowed his words. A bloody wind was blowing from behind the Lyndon army.

“Kueeek!”

“Hang in there! We can win if we just hold on a little longer!”
“Huh? Yes! Young Master!”
Edward was coming this way, mercilessly slaughtering the monsters that blocked his path.
The monsters, who had stubbornly held on even against the knights, were killed in a single stroke. Although his aura level was not that high, the thick scales of the troglodytes and the tough leather of the gnolls were cut without exception.
W̊е b̄ n̊ о̆ṽе l̂ Е̂ ň u mа
He never attacked the same enemy twice. He knew exactly where and how to attack to cut off the enemy’s breath. As if he had faced monsters thousands, tens of thousands of times.
‘He’s strong.’
He had to admit it. Edward was a much better swordsman than Zaken. It was amazing how he had reached that level at that age.
Although Zaken was called a genius in the northwest, he felt infinitely shabby compared to Edward.

‘What is it?’
The monsters, who were not afraid even when they fought with aura knights, froze as if they had seen a dragon whenever they stood in front of Edward. There were also guys who were about to jump out of the forest but ran away when they saw him.
Ŵе b́ ń ó vе̇ l Ѐ ṅumа̂
To make them like that with just his aura, he had to be a sword master. No matter how outstanding a genius Edward was, that was impossible. It had to be.
‘What an unfair world.’
Edward had a handsome appearance and a noble lineage. All things that Zaken did not have. Instead, he had believed that he had a natural talent for martial arts and military affairs. He was confident that he was a better knight and commander than Edward.
After experiencing real combat, he had to admit it. Edward overwhelmed Zaken in every aspect. The rumors about the domain war were by no means false.
“Thank you! Young Master!”
“We were saved thanks to you!”

Edward passed through the Lyndon army, cutting down the monsters. Since one was killed with each stroke, a path was quickly created. In the place where he had passed, only the corpses of the monsters remained.
Thanks to that, the Lyndon army, which had been exhausted from the continuous chaotic battle, was able to catch its breath.
‘He did that alone…’
Although Edward had come to the Lyndon army’s side, his army was moving in the opposite direction.
While the armies of the other families were facing a desperate crisis, the Griffith army had dealt with all the monsters that had attacked them and was on its way to help the other families.
Edward had saved the Lyndon army, which was in crisis, single-handedly, without the help of his army.

“Treat that friend first. His condition is not good.”
“Yes! Young Master!”

He also gave appropriate orders to the soldiers on behalf of Zaken, who was dazed. The Lyndon army quickly recovered from the chaos of the battle.
“Young Master.”
“Captain Zaken.”
Edward, who had come up to the front of the Lyndon army, and Zaken met. Only then did Zaken realize why the monsters that had fought with him had all frozen.

‘Don’t tell me…’
He felt a similar, no, a greater feeling from Edward than what he had received when he had met a sword master.
Zaken, who felt that all the common sense he had known was collapsing, was at a loss for words.
“Get a grip. The battle is not over yet.”

“Yes, Young Master.”
Edward walked toward the Garrison army. He looked like a veteran general who had fought through numerous bloody battles.

10 minutes ago.
When the hobgoblin leader, Kobi, appeared.
“Brother, look at that guy.”
William pointed to the hill with his blood-stained mace and chuckled.
The hobgoblin, who looked similar to a goblin but was showing a spirit unlike a goblin, seemed funny.

Edward could not laugh.
‘What’s that?’
As Zaken had explained, the chest part of the armor Kobi was wearing had sharp spikes.
Looking closely, it wasn't that the armor had spikes, but that a spiky iron ball was embedded in his solar plexus.
And that iron ball looked exactly like the iron ball that William had, which contained the power to rule all the goblins in the world.
