The battle in the Goblin settlement gradually subsides.

Nevertheless, there is no such thing as the number of goblins being more than the number of goblins, and the battle will be over soon.

However, the annihilation battle begun from the edge of the settlement narrows the scope of the battle by narrowing the circle of siege.

If that happens, it will be a nuisance for the goblins to escape the settlement, and if the adventurer kills them, the bodies will roll to the ground.

... water wolves eat such goblin corpses all the time here.

Thanks to the shrinking of the siege net, the water wolf, more gigantic than Ceto, would stand in the way of the battle, which turned him into a post-treatment of Goblin's body.

The battle needs no more help from the water wolf than it is a unilateral ravage.

Then it would have been decided that it would have been better for the water wolf to reprocess the body of the goblin, as a result of which the destruction of the settlement would have ended quickly.

"Wow...... one!

The water wolf, who was eating a goblin corpse, swings his forefoot quickly when he sees one goblin accidentally pop out from under the corpse.

"Gagga!"

The forefoot of the water wolf is naturally also composed of water, but the blow that its forefoot emits is extremely powerful.

Goblins are blown away by the blow that is unleashed, smashing their heads into the trunk of a tree that was growing nearby, breaking their neck bones and dying as they were.

The adventurers are politely killing goblins, but still because of the high number of goblins, some of them hide beneath their fellow corpses, like goblins do today.

Nor would the adventurers imitate such a goblin, but given the number of goblins in this settlement, I can't completely get around to it.

In fact, Goblin, who was not that many but managed not to be killed by adventurers to hide, and took action before the water wolf arrived, was also able to escape the settlement.

It was another story, though, about whether the goblins who fled the settlement could still live beyond this in the Trent Forest.

"Hey, how much did you clean up over there?

"Not that many yet.... Damn!

The adventurer, spoken of in the midst of a battle, tells him so with real regret.

I have seen the flesh shield with its eyes using a naked woman, and her hatred for goblins resides strongly in the eyes of its adventurers.

The adventurer I asked didn't see the meat shield, so I didn't see why the adventurer hated goblins so much.

I didn't know, but I can still predict enough that Goblin would have done something.

"I don't know what happened, but we're gonna take down the goblins first"

"... oh"

He exchanges words briefly and kills goblins one after another.

For some reason, in the end, the only enemy is Goblin.

He was an adventurer to see how his people were doing while checking for goblins, but he didn't look particularly injured.

Lizardman's as well, no one is anywhere with injury-like injuries.

Mental fatigue really overlaps more than still not knowing where the goblins are hiding.

Smaller goblin tall was also the reason why it was harder to find because it was easy to hide somewhere.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

And it is Seto who is able to find the goblin precisely in that.

The high sense of smell allows you to quickly find the goblin wherever it is hidden.

If you find one goblin after the other, kill it with a blow from Seto… or if there is a goblin in a gap that you cannot enter with Seto, call for an adventurer or Ray nearby to attack you.

That's how time went by and the circle that was surrounding the goblin settlement got smaller......

"Gaga gaga!"

Screaming, that goblin pierces his torso with a spear of dusk, breathlessly.

"This is the last one...... but where are the top or rare species?

near the center of the settlement of Goblin.

Currently, Ray defeated the last of the goblins who were in the settlement there.

I knocked it down... the goblin was somewhat bigger in body than the other goblins, but still not so much as a superior or rare species, it was a normal goblin.

When that happens, the question is where the hell are the top and rare species that should have been in this settlement?

If we were to become goblins with such settlements, with just the intelligence - the wickedness - to lead goblins that might possibly reach a thousand, and furthermore to use the women we brought in for breeding as meat shields, we would never have been able to do so with normal goblins.

"Has anyone seen a superior or rare species of goblin?

It was Ray asking the adventurers around him, but only the words of denial came back.

Maybe Lizardman? I turn my gaze to Zozo, who was nearby thinking, but asked the other Lizardmans, Zozozozo shook his neck sideways, just like the adventurers.

(Then, the water wolf?

The water wolf was acting with Ray, but it wasn't under Ray's command.

So if the water wolf had eaten and killed the superior and rare species of goblins, nothing could be said.

"Waterwolf!

To Ray's call, the water wolf, who was melting in his body when he swallowed the body of a fallen goblin on the ground, raises his face and keeps approaching.

Considerable in size, so some adventurers are surprised, but most are not particularly surprised to see such water wolves.

"Waw?"

What's the matter with you? and a squealing water wolf.

... the goblin's blood on its mouth gives some surprise to those who watch it.

"Were any of the goblins you ate different from the other goblins?

"Wow...... One"

He was a water wolf who showed a little thought, but eventually shook his neck to the side.

Ray doesn't even know how far to believe that word.

But given the high intelligence of the water wolf, I would determine that there is no such thing as not remembering the goblins I ate.

Having the appearance of a wolf, I couldn't deny the possibility that I might not remember the goblins I ate by prioritizing my appetite.

"Right.... Ok. Then ask me to dispose of Goblin's body"

"One!"

Happy! and ringing, the water wolf goes to eat the goblin corpse again.

"Nevertheless... I don't understand that I would be happy to eat goblin meat."

One of the adventurers who was at Ray's side squeaks with smudge.

Many others agreed with the whining.

Ray was also in agreement with that opinion.

"I'm from another world, and I guess the taste itself is different from ours."

"But you were happy to eat the grilled fish we prepared this morning?

Adventurer who tells slightly dissatisfied.

If you think your baked fish was recognized to taste just like goblin meat, it wouldn't be funny.

"No, I don't think you need to worry about that much. The oak I did last night was delightful. Maybe it's not a different taste... right, it's a wide range that you can feel delicious?

"... that sounds enviable, pathetic, subtle"

The taste that makes goblins feel delicious is both enviable and pathetic.

Ray nods to the adventurer who tells him so.

In fact, if Ray also wants a taste that he thinks is delicious by eating goblins, it's not very good, but he can't snort.

In that sense, there was nothing but gratitude for the facades of Zeppyr, who prepared a decent taste for this body.

"Anyway, when you don't even know the water wolf... that's a pain in the ass. If you're hiding, Seto or the water wolf will be able to find you, but that's not how it looks. And then it just means he ran away."

"No, but... can you get away with that situation? We've been surrounding this settlement, haven't we?

We can't afford to miss the top or rare species of goblins.

Ray nods at the adventurer who tells him that way, too.

"I think so, too. I think... but still nothing's ever gonna happen, right? Especially in this settlement, there are quite a few places to hide."

The trees are being felled, but that is only to some extent.

Other than that, it's as simple as making it out of trees and grass, but it's also like the dwellings of the goblins.

There were more places to hide than goblins could dig holes.

Of course, if you knew there was a goblin there...... or a narrower place, it would be easy to find even in hiding.

But if it's a settlement of this size, and things like shrinking the siege while knocking down goblins, it's possible that even the top and rare species can't be found.

(Well, I still don't think I can manage that so easily)

For some reason, adventurers and lizardmen are a lot of skilled people.

"Master Ray. Shouldn't we think about what we're going to do now, more than let them get away with it?

Ray nods at the text written on Zozo's stone slab.

Because it's true that there's not much point in thinking about how you got away here.

Above all, it was probably the superior or rare species that made the women think and execute the shield of meat.

And Ray was more likely to have had superior or rare species near it than he was where that meat shield was used.

When that happens, it's likely that the adventurers who were there, including Ray, who made the mistake this time, will.

(Yeah, should we not pursue the matter any further for now?)

In fact, I don't know if he was really right, so Ray decides to force the conversation to proceed.

"I guess the problem is that if the superior or rare species escaped the settlement, they could create another settlement somewhere"

"That's it. If it comes to being raided by goblins again, it'll be quite a hassle. Finding a settlement... well, with Ray and Seto, we might be able to figure it out."

To the words of the adventurer, is Ray? and question.

"The guy who was leading this settlement is pretty smart. Do you think we'll be cutting trees again that will be the first reason we find them this time?... Well, it's gonna be hard to create this many settlements without logging trees in Trento Forest"

As for Ray, I had a prediction that he would not imitate that he would repeat the same failure if he created a new settlement than Ceto could fly on this side in this one case.

That is why I would expect that if we tried to create a new goblin settlement again, we would do something more difficult to find.

"The best thing is to recognize that there are people like us in this Trent forest and get out of the Trent forest... you think that's hard?

"I don't know. If this is the only settlement, and we don't find it on top of it, and it turns our heads enough to escape, there's a chance we'll decide this is dangerous."

An adventurer with that spear returns that to Ray's words.

In fact, if you're intelligent, you wouldn't think of it as creating a similar settlement in the place where your opponent devastated the one you built.

... If you try to lay it, it would be best for you to do so. I do...

"It's good to be out of Trent's woods, so it's a little uninteresting to be imitated as annoying elsewhere"

Only poorly smart individuals are definitely troublesome when that's what makes settlements like elsewhere.

Especially when I come up with something called a meat shield or something, and it hurts to be known that it works.

"Anyway, I've already defeated Goblin, can we go back? Ray can't be here forever either, can he?

"Yes, but... here's what's causing it."

To the voice hung from an adventurer who was nearby, Ray turns his gaze back to the water wolf eating Goblin's body.

Ray remained in the camp today because the water wolf saw Ray as the only negotiator.

Had it not been for the matter of the water wolf, by now he would have headed for the slum district of Gilm to raid the Ajit of an organization aimed at his own life.

"Waf?"

The water wolf, who was enjoying the taste of goblins, looks up and turns his gaze to see if he heard Ray.

To such a water wolf, Ray tells him to shake his neck to the side and eat the goblin as he is, saying it's nothing.

"Anyway, I'm pretty sure you should let Master Dusker know about this. If we leave it like this, we're gonna have a lot of problems."

Everyone snorted at Ray's words like that... he was surprised that the water wolf had finished eating all the bodies of the goblins at some point.
