Most goblins die within a few years of being born.
Because they are clearly pests to humans, they take the initiative in killing them, and since they will attack even if we don't do anything, fights end up breaking out and people die.
However, it is rare for a goblin to survive such a battle to evolve over the years.
Moreover, evolution does not occur just once, but over and over again, resulting in the creature growing into a more formidable, superior individual that combines wisdom and strength.
A good example of this is the female goblin that was currently in front of me.
Should I call you Goblina?
They were once a vicious entity that attacked human habitations, but unfortunately for them they encountered me and were quickly defeated.
I had properly killed all the goblins led by Goblina, and naturally I should have killed the leader as well, but...I just can't seem to get my way.
Even evil monsters cannot lay hands on anything that takes the form of a woman.
All I could do was hit him and knock him unconscious.
In that case...so Beaker, our scientist, will capture it and implement various personality correction measures.
As for the contents... they were somewhat immoral so I'll skip them.
Anyway, after brainwashing the Goblins, they began to listen to human commands, and so we were using them for our own convenience.
Of course, there's only so much a goblin can do...!
...It can only be used for crimes!!
So, at the moment, there is a disturbing target called the Niosebuku Kingdom, so I am making great use of it to deal with that.
All goblins can do is attack and steal.
So I decided to have the Goblins infiltrate the Kingdom of Niosebuku and raid the country's supply bases and other places.
Yes, guerrilla activity.
It involves moving about without a specific base and disrupting the enemy's rear.
If we did it ourselves, it would become an act of hostility between nations and would immediately lead to war, but if the perpetrators are goblins, it would be easy to cover it up.
After all, goblins are always attacking somewhere.
If that happened to be the rear base or a supply unit of the Niosebuku Kingdom, and they were attacked and suffered damage, it would be to our advantage, and we could easily excuse ourselves by saying, "That was just a coincidence, right?"
After all, goblins are a kind of humanoid evil, and it's common knowledge that they don't take orders from humans.
So, we ended up with an extremely convenient war tool...!?
I have given the order not to stray from the path of humanity and to "not attack innocent people", but...
But are there any innocent people in Niosebuku anyway? That's the question...
In any case, it's so convenient as a tool of war that it's frightening.
I hope we ourselves don't get carried away with how easy this is...
in.
Its evolved form is the goblin, Goblina.
She looks like a goblin, and her skin is unhealthy and the mugwort color of a corpse or something.
Nevertheless, he had a good figure and the soft flesh on his feminine limbs was unmistakably that of a woman, with a full chest and a round buttocks.
And yet her waist is so tight like a gourd, which kind of annoys me.
"So, Aniki! What can we do for you? Which village would you like us to burn down?"
"We won't burn it down, we won't attack it."
The goblina leans forward.
As I got closer to it, I could smell the strong, animal-like body odor that is unique to goblins.
No matter how erotic her body may be, she is still a goblin after all... her sense of smell reminded her.
It felt stale, like I hadn't taken a bath in days.
"Listen, I've decided to kill the targets of this country directly. I feel that the way things have been done up until now has been far too leisurely."
"That's a raid, Aniki! As expected!"
What's so impressive?
"You've been involved in guerrilla activities in Niosebuku for a while now, haven't you? If so, you should be somewhat familiar with the country."
Well, it was us who gave the orders to act as guerrillas.
When I think about that, I can't help but feel a bit "Omayuu."
In any case, the Goblins have been doing things like surprise attacks on Niosebuku's army from the rear and attacking their bases up until now.
If that's the case, then naturally, you'd be aware of backstreets that are hard to notice and important enemy bases, right?
"Then now's the time to spill that knowledge for me! Just lead me to the most important place you know!"
"Yes!"
Does this guy really understand?
But now I'm in a sad situation where I have no one else I can rely on!
If you have no other choice, just go for it!
"I think I know a place you're looking for! It's the biggest building I know, and there are a ton of soldier-like guys there!"
"Oh, doesn't it look like it?!"
I was worried that no matter how wise I was, I wouldn't be able to get my point across to goblins, but it seems I managed it somehow.
"Well then, let me show you around right away! Follow me!"
"Hmm."
But will this low-level movement continue forever?
"All right! Let's go, guys! Let's all come together and charge forward for Aniki!"
"Ggggggg!!"
Hold on, hold on?
What's the reply now?
Are there a lot of them?
If you look closely, you'll see that there are dozens of regular goblins surrounding the goblina.
What's going on?
"You're my subordinate?"
"But didn't I kill all the goblins you had with you at the hot spring inn?"
"I've since collected them again."
Seriously?!
If you think about it, there's no way a single goblins could wreak havoc on an entire country with guerrilla attacks.
We need at least the number of people for a platoon...!
For that reason, it is inevitable that goblins recruit stray goblins from around the area to form an army...
However, even if you push goblins to the brink of annihilation, they will soon start to multiply again.
They really are a frightening bunch...!
"Don't worry, Aniki! I and these guys will protect you! We won't let those filthy pig-like, weakling humans lay a finger on you!"
"I'm human too though."
As a member of this fantasy otherworldly world, I have been plagued by goblins many times and have engaged in deadly battles with them.
Fortunately, no one important to me was killed by goblins… or anything like that, but the fear that such a tragedy could happen at any time has made my aversion to goblins almost physiological.
You're going to act together with such a goblin...?!
The situation was so impossible that I found it unbearable.
"We're terrible Goblin thugs♪"
"Geh, gyaa, gyaa, gyaa!!"
"Let's eat, ladies."
"Geh, gyaa, gyaa, gyaa!!"
"I want to torture the weaker ones♪"
"Geh, gheh, gheh, byaah!!"
Could you please not liven up the march with weird songs?
"Aniki! There's a human village on the way! Should we attack it then?"
"No."
"Ohhhhh! It's a wild horse! Everyone surround it and catch it! It's tonight's dinner!"
"Stop it."
But I still don't feel like I can understand the goblins.
And so, with a pain in my head, I went over fields and mountains...
◆
"...Aniki! I can see it! That's the castle we're aiming for!"
"Or is it?"
Sure enough, a huge building stood before me.
With its sturdy-looking stone masonry, it's easy to see why it's called a castle.
But it's not.
Although it is huge, a real castle would be even larger and more impressive.
The thing in front of me is quite small compared to what I imagine a castle to be.
A fort, so to speak.
That's a fort!
"...Hmm, what a pity."
After all, goblins couldn't even tell the difference between a castle and a fortress.
I can't imagine there's a prince in that fortress.
If there is one, it would probably be a general at most.
Anyway, this isn't where I want to be.
We decided to leave immediately and reconsider our future course of action.
"Now it's time to sacrifice my life for my big brother! Charge!"
"Huhhhhhhhh?!"
Before I had time to stop them, the Goblin army began fighting, led by Goblina!
Towards the fort's main gate... a frontal assault?!
"Enemy attack?! Enemy attackingnnnn?!"
"It's a goblin attack!"
"A group of goblins?! Is that even possible?!"
The sudden incident caused chaos within the Niosebuku fortress.
What was their purpose in setting up a base like this?
But what those Niosebuku guys are thinking can't be anything good.
Naturally, I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for the Niosebuku soldiers who were attacked by goblins.
"Fight! For my brother! Even if it means losing my life!"
And to the goblins, this charge was hopeless no matter what.
Their opponents were regular soldiers... and to the elite Niosebuku soldiers, who were feared as tigers and wolves, goblins were merely targets for extermination.
Up until now, they must have been operating as guerrillas, evading the soldiers' attention and engaging in minor harassment such as stealing food or destroying roads.
And then suddenly attacking head-on... why would he do something so suicidal?
"Fight! For my big brother!"
....
Either way, this was a complete waste of time.
It was certain that the third prince, their target, was not here, and this was probably just one of the countless small and medium-sized bases within Niosebuku.
There's no way I could stand out in a place like this and raise alarm.
Let's take advantage of the goblins' rampage and use it as a cover to fade out unnoticed.
"Gughhh?!" "Ghhh?!"
The goblins' death cries can be heard.
It seems the situation is already starting to turn for the worse. It won't be long before the ruthless Niosebuku soldiers finish off the goblins.
But it's not a big deal.
To begin with, goblins are harmful creatures to humans, so they should be used as much as possible and then discarded when that's done.
It's just that that time has now come.
Although the results are not satisfactory, it is time to stop because there is no harm in getting involved any further.
"Don't be afraid! Go! Go! For my brother!"
The desperate voices of goblins can also be heard.
Then came the voice of a soldier aiming at it.
"Are you the leader of those goblins you've been messing with recently? A mutant? How annoying!"
"Oh, Captain!" "The Captain is going to fight!"
I couldn't help but look back.
Ahead of him stood a giant man, nearly twice the height of the goblina...
"But goblins, no matter how many times they mutate, are nothing but insects. I'll turn you into pieces of meat in an instant. Dieeeeeee!!"
The large man swung his sword and slammed it into the top of the goblina's head.
Just before that happened...
...The tip of the broken sword flew into the air.
"What?!"
"I never thought I'd have to use the adamantite stick that Septequifa made for me in a place like this."
On the second swing, the big man's neck was torn off and sent flying into the air.
Please don't misunderstand.
If you compare goblins to Niosebuku soldiers, Niosebuku soldiers are simply far more evil creatures.
If they are not eradicated immediately, they will become a real nuisance to society.
That's why the best thing to do is to eliminate every single one of them the moment you find them.
