Colossus Hunter

< 23. Contest chapter (4) >

When you are a fugitive, the Apocalypse Guild creates an aquatic city near the castle, and when you become a runaway, everyone has an expedition time.

At least once or twice.

But if this is the end, it's dangerous. The royal family is a royal family because of its uprightness. Civil law that doesn't tolerate irregularities is vulnerable to incoming attacks from the side.

‘They do not know about the evolution of Goblins. ’

The advantages that the Apocalypse Guild is overlooking right now.

The more horns the Goblins have, the stronger they become. When my physical ability doubled, and I had three large horns, I gained human level intelligence.

I was not aware of their increased intelligence due to the perception of the 'Goblins’ only thinking about their physical strength.

“I don't see any Goblins. ”

“Maybe we all ran away because we were scared? ”

108 hours.

It became a role of the Sulaw and began to move in a large colony, but the number of Goblins that caught my eye was significantly reduced.

Goblins have learned this as well. Humans in groups are just avoiding it. They were identifying human pathways through their own "communication" methods.

In the end, Sulai's time between 108 and 120 hours ended with the capture of 500 Goblins. It's a terrible shame to think that there are more than 40,000 human factions.

After more than 120 hours, the Goblins broke the wall.

Shhh!

Kuaang!

A pile of rocks flew in.

“Hey, what's this? ”

“Evade!! ”

Kuaang!

The rocks, stones, and small and large spilled indiscriminately.

Goblins were mounting huge rocks from a very far distance and were smashing through the walls with siege weapons.

“Madness! A ranged attack on a Goblin subject? ”

“What is the Apocalypse Guild doing?! ”

“Ahhhh!”

The elites quickly move toward the direction the stone flows.

But there were no Goblins when I arrived.

Like they evaporated, leaving behind siege weapons.

“I have found the siege weapon, but no Goblins have been found. ”

“Is it really the work of the Goblins? Siege Weapon structures are very similar to those built by humans in the past. ”

“It seems to be evolving. It's not just the body, but the head, and if so, the aquatic solution here is not good. ”

The elite leave on patrol and come back with an agenda.

I hid under the shadow, using the Dark Hand, and then came back. Again, this story became a rumor in a flash.

“Did you hear? Goblins know how to use tools, too. ”

“Crazy, I'm going to lose for sure. ”

“Shouldn't we do something? ”

I felt more anxious.

Otherwise, I only caught 500 of them in the previous "Sulai" 's turn. On the contrary, the number of people being hunted was several times that.

I smiled thinly.

Tapas of mannerism. It is absurd to rely on that thin wall to fear change.

Everyone else gathered. If you want to move these groups, you have to stimulate 'rumors and horrors’.

I had to give an excuse to unite them, but the wall blocked them all. ‘I broke it. ’

So I broke it.

Goblins controlled by me are quite evolved. If you raid and kill a Goblin with a different horn, you'll get a horn just like that.

I knew I could apply it with a little knowledge.

Not yet, but if the other Goblins evolved further, they were sure to use 'tools’.

Now, I gave you a chance.

If you continue to hesitate, I will have to resort to more extreme measures.

What are you going to do now? ’

I expected the decision of the people, the Apocalypse Guild, and the colonists.

I gave them a chance and it was their turn to use it.

* * * * *

Aaaaah!

Cut off your ankle.

Someone else kills the Goblin that makes it impossible to move.

Just holding the Black Wind Blade while the fetal method went up to 3-star, the phenomenon of "dark spirits" disappeared.

Kwaek!

Kieeek!

You sliced the goblin's etchings to pieces.

“Are you sure it's a person? ”

“Rumor has it he's not human. ”

“You fight ignorantly. I never get tired of seeing it every day. ”

“Neither is that armor, nor the strength to cut bones. ”

People chatted.

But it didn't matter.

However, I rescued all the Goblins around me and looked around slowly.

I divided the colony.

We divided 40,000 humans by 10,000 and chose a way to thoroughly sweep them in the form of academics.

After all, it's all about abandoning defenses and attacking.

Fortunately, the situation was taken seriously.

Goblins were perplexed by the sudden change in attitude as well.

Unlike before, I was able to catch quite a lot of Goblins.

But that was it.

“Ahhhh!”

“A trap! A trap! ”

Delicately digging and hiding the floor, the basic traps that put a spear in it, or the proper traps that make spiked stones fall from the tree as soon as you step on the 'rope'.

‘Understanding the terrain’ was absolutely lacking.

It was clear that the Goblins had survived a long time in a place called the Arena.

Of course, the traps were 2% short of killing people.

However, it didn't take much time for the Goblins to realize that they were "fugitives" and never a trap for hunting.

“Injured! Are you going to leave the injured? ”

“Dammit, the wound sucks, so it doesn't heal properly! ”

Delay in movement.

The Goblins saw the wall collapse, and the Goblins also knew that the Humans chose to attack.

What they were after was a plan to slow us down as much as possible while we were in 'Sulaw's Time.’

But, but, it's too weird.

I figured it out too soon.

“I will gather some people who are good at tracking and exploring. There must be an ‘eye’ somewhere watching us. ”

The captains of Apocalypse also formally announced whether they felt strange.

They started to recruit people who were good at searching and tracking separately to form a group and to explore more thoroughly around them.

But it was empty.

There were no ‘eyes watching’.

I had to.

‘Flags.’

Tiny markings on trees, on the ground, on rocks, etc.

If I didn't care to look at it, it was just engraved too fine.

However, this flag is not a message to the same Goblin.

‘Goblins to Humans. Humans to Goblins. ’

Yes, I was starting to see the overall context.

‘There is a human spy. ’

It was amazing.

Goblins plant spies in Human Factions?

It's like a tactic I did. I was also mixing a few of them with the Goblin faction and retrieving their information in my own way.

But the Goblins are still using it.

I never thought their intelligence would have grown this much by now.

Singularity.

I looked around.

Then, who is the spy?

* * * * *

Late evening.

When it was his turn, the man quietly left the camp.

There was little surveillance, as people had not yet had a suspicious relationship.

Then he entered the center of the forest and placed several branches in ten () characters, spaced at a constant interval.

Grrr. At that moment, the bush shook.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The man looks back, frightened.

But there was nothing.

Did I hear that wrong? ’

The man who thought it could be because he was so nervous, turned his head again and tried to finish the job.

Right in front of you is a knight in silver armor.

“Phew! ”

The man tries to fall back, startled. However, the knight grabs the man by the shoulder and takes the rest of his hand to his helmet.

Then the blindfold went up, and the man faced the knight in front of his eyes.

“Crosshairs. What do you mean? ”

“Ah, no meaning. ”

The man denied it.

But it was strange.

Looking at the knight's eyes made me feel better for some reason.

Then the knight's appearance changed gradually. The surroundings have changed.

Work. And work supervisor.

The man who worked with the slaves followed anything his boss said.

“The most unsupervised direction is this way · · · · · · · In 3 hours‘ time, 'Sulai’ will attack · · · · · · · ·. ”

The man who lost focus replied.

The Silver Knight grips the man's jaw.

“Why did you become a spy? ”

“My wife has been captured. He said he would insult me and kill me if I didn't follow him. ”

“Who is he? ”

“A winged Goblin, a Goblin who understands human words. ”

The knight frowns and thrashes at the man.

“From now on, move the marker to the place I announce. It's the only way you can live. ”

“Yes · · · · · · Yes! ”

The man nods fearlessly.

* * * * *

A Goblin with wings?

How many people have you killed with wings, not horns?

Or maybe it was originally "heterogeneous."

What I haven't been able to figure out is that he's still hunting without revealing himself at all.

He's a tight-knit guy.

I knew who was behind it. I made a plan to use it as a 'double spy’ instead of killing a spy.

But there was no time.

‘3 hours.’

It's a relief that the mark was placed on a heavily fortified area, and you were nearly ambushed.

But I had some doubts.

Is there really one mole?

For such a thing, putting up a single mark is too arbitrary.

‘There is more than one spy. ’

I was confident.

He must have planted just one.

For the remainder of the day, we need to find them all and figure out what he's after.

Three hours was too little.

I can't help it.

I used all my senses. Then the "power of the manager" was awakened.

- I'm so sleepy.

- How long do we have to do this?

- I want to go home.

- We need to light up the supply depot. We don't have a few hours. Can you do it?

‘Found it.'

I felt dizzy for a moment.

I felt like vomiting.

You struggle, shaking your head.

Who wants to set fire to the supply depot, who wants to mix poison that causes food poisoning in everyone's drinking water, and who wants to "ambush" the brains of the Apocalypse Guild.

"In the meantime, where did you plant this? ’

Even I was surprised to have caught them all.

Most spies have not been exposed to the surface because they live quietly and without causing any problems.

They were already vulnerable before joining the Apocalypse Guild. That's why I was helping the Goblins without knowing it.

And they were all trying to act simultaneously today.

This meant one thing.

Gunfire!

At least the ones following the winged Goblins were sure to attack the masses.

We may not have a bigger problem catching all the spies, but people are still not very wary.

‘You have 10 minutes left. ’

Chuck.

Draw your sword and move forward. “You can't go any further. Go back.”

A guild member of the Apocalypse guild who saw me gestured as he approached, but I didn't move.

‘The sound of the earth changed. ’

The earth shakes. It echoes loudly, as if it were right next to me, a sound so small that the giddy couldn't feel it.

“Hey, you can't be here. ”

Peek-a-boo!

At that moment, a whistle sounded from everywhere.

“Hostiles!”

“Incoming! ”

“Grrrgh!”

I grilled my brisket.

More than I thought.

It was much larger than the number of times the Grass Spirit was sent out.

Where the hell did that come from?

Kuaaang!

Yes, it's really coming out.

The earth is ablaze and monsters like giant worms have appeared right in front of the human camp.

Soon after the worm opened its mouth, a large number of Goblins started pouring into it.

“What the hell is that? ”

“Shouldn't monsters be the only Goblins? ”

Yes. According to the past, there are only Goblins.

But what kind of giant wormy joint is that?

I got a stool.

People are distracted by a sudden, large-scale attack.

"I can't do it. ’

At this rate, there will be numerous casualties.

If more than a certain percentage dies, even if we prevent this raid, we will not win.

If you want to think about the next race, you have to save as many people as you can.

But how?

That's five to kill, I'd say.

‘I need a change of pace. ’

If the Apocalypse Guild can't handle it, it will take 10 minutes.

For that 10 minutes, I just needed to be able to reverse this situation for a while.

I couldn't do it.

I nodded.

It wasn't that we couldn't reverse this situation at once.

Slowly, I opened my mouth.

“Itaqua.”
