The [Goblin] is to make it easier to CTRL+F.
[Goblin] Gi Ga
The former leader of the village. He was pressured by the protagonist in his goblin n.o.ble form, and was added to his subordinates. He uses the long sword, and is relatively smart for a goblin rare. Became a goblin n.o.ble in chapter 39.
[Goblin] Gi Gi
He evolved while hunting spear deer with the protagonist.
A goblin with many wounds on his body. The food of his horde was stolen by the gray wolves, so he made a decision to follow the protagonist. He is the most experienced amongst the goblin rares. His weapon is a curved katana. He acts like a samurai.
Recently became a n.o.ble, and received the divine protection of the Sword G.o.d, Ra Baruza.
[Goblin] Gi Za
A goblin rare. He evolved in chapter 37 after hunting with Gi Ga.
[Goblin] Gi Do

"I understand," he replied.
Gi Go’s small back that was two times smaller than mine signaled the start of the battle.
I sent a quick glance to the flanks. And I saw the druid chief, Gi Za, hidden in the thickets by the right flank, and the goblins that had served as the advanced guard previously, the beast warrior Gi Gi and the stealthy Gi Ji, as well as Gi Zu of the Mad G.o.d, by the left flank.
The wind magician, Gi Do, was on standby, waiting, at the interim of Gi Go and Gi Za.
For backup, there’s the n.o.ble cla.s.s, Gi Gu Verbena, and the wide-eyed Gi Jii waiting behind me.
Everyone was in position.
And our enemy were the giant Gaidga Goblins.
"Go!" I commanded.
With the speed of a loosened arrow, Gi Go Amatsuki ran through the ruined forest. Following him were his three subordinate goblins. On each of their hands were swords that showed the mark of use, proving the strictness of Gi Go’s training.
"RUuuoouuU!"
The incoming club was like a falling tree. But Gi Go slipped through that from underneath without any hesitation as he swung his curved blade.
Gi Go swung his blade, leaving behind only a streak of light. In the next instant, blood gushed out of the Gaidga Goblin’s arm.
But for some reason, Gi Go showed a displeased expression as he returned his curved sword back into its sheath.
Looks like he wasn’t able to cut up to the bones.
"Come!"
As he barked at the giant Gaidga goblin that towered over him, he wielded his curved sword in his two hands, and slashed.
As the Gaidga goblin howled, its club descended. With his curved sword, Gi Go dodged the attack, leaving the club to fall onto the ground, hollowing a hole.
At the same time, Gi Go, slashed out a "nukidou" with his whole body, cutting the enemy goblin in a stroke.
That attack could not be called anything but a true slash.
It was different from an inexperienced goblin merely striking out with its long sword. It was different from me who would only rely on the weight of the great sword. It was a true slash that made use of the blade of
This is the blessing of one who has received the divine protection of the sword G.o.d.
The Gaidga goblin that had been cut, could only fall helpless there where it was standing.
A great pool of blood spurted out of its body as it fell, but Gi Go only gave it a glance.
It must be due to his two skills > and >.
I s.h.i.+fted my gaze from Gi Go’s unthreatening battle to the other goblins’.
"Clad me in the wind (Accel)!"
I moved my eyes to the right as I heard Gi Za’s voice start the battle.
Using Accel, he rocketed past the Gaidga goblin. At the same time, he turned to his back.
"Like a strong wind. Like a whirlwind. (Wind Cutter)!"
The two wind blades ran across the earth, and aimed for the opposing goblin’s feet.
A cry rose, and the enemy fell, and Gi Za’s subordinate goblins bombarded the poor goblin with magic. The power behind their magic seemed to be weak, so they couldn’t finish it in one hit, but with three of them bombarding the enemy goblin in turn, they were able to kill it.
––––This side’s doing fine too.
From time to time, the wind magician, Gi Do would cast his magic and provide cover for Gi Go and Gi Za.
It wasn’t anything eye-catching, but it was necessary to s.h.i.+ft the scales of war to our favor. And although it was plain, Gi Do was able to cover whatever they missed.
As expected, there are no problems in either of this two areas. If so… then the left flanks is probably…
Looking at the three rare goblins fighting at the left… they were currently at a stalemate.
Gi Zu of the Mad G.o.d couldn’t display his power as he swung about his spear. It was really difficult for a mere rare cla.s.s to cross swords with a Gaidga goblin. The goblins Gi Zu was leading were properly coordinating, but they’re having a hard time. Their power is just too lacking.
As for the beast tamer, Gi Gi, and the stealthy Gi ji, they were always bad at fighting strong goblins head on. Gi Ji’s > skill is used for fighting from the shadows after finding an opening. And then as for Gi Gi’s beasts, they’re just lacking too much in power. So they really have no choice but to rely on Gi Zu to break through, but…
They’re starting to show signs of retreat…
"Gi Gu," I called out.
"Yes?" he responded.
Should I send Gi Gu out?
"Take your troops, and help the left flank."
"By your will."
As he brandished his sword, he signaled Gi Jii to join the battle at the left flank.
Will this be enough?
"Ganra! Where are you!?"
Just as I was thinking that, a goblin came out from in front the area Gi Go was pressuring.
Gi Go glanced at me for a moment before choosing a different goblin to fight.
How considerate…
So he plans on giving me that prey, huh?
"The Ganra you want is in my hands," I said to the Ganra Goblin who had jumped out as I blocked his way.
"Don’t f.u.c.k with me," he snapped.
The goblin swung its club.
If it hits, my head would surely be crushed.
But for someone like me who’s experienced the Orc King’s, Gol Gol, storm-like attacks, something like this isn’t even enough to be considered a threat.
s.h.i.+fting my body to the side, I moved my body away from the trajectory of the club, and then I swung my great sword down at the goblin’s legs.
As I mowed down the legs of the Gaidga goblin, the goblin fell, and another attack descended on it.
With its arms crushed, it was no longer a threat. I took a good look around my surroundings, and I saw that the Gaidga Goblins in the area have already been dealt with.
"Well then… we’ve also managed to acquire some prisoners. What next, king?"
Gi Za smiled ferociously.
"The casualties?" I asked.
We ran with Gilmi leading the way.
The path that the Gaidga Goblins had pa.s.sed had the surrounding trees mowed down, making it easier to go through.
Before long we reached the Village of Ganra.
"This… Should I say it’s just as expected, or…"
