The Rising Of The Mage

Chapter 20's

The body of a Goblin was thrown and the instant she died, her sword was swung to disappear the bloodstains on her blade. Henka, who was the leader of this army, never expected that it would be ambushed.

'I thought the plan was perfect, we would corner the Goblins into the forest and hunt them down. Because it's already split will easily finish them off. But in fact, we were even ambushed and killed one by one. What is this that He felt when he saw his comrades killed but it is not important, right now I have to find him!'

Henka's eyes sharpen in search of the whereabouts of Goruru, a Goblin responsible for killing the fellow he trusts the most. Although his friend was careless and wild, Henka really believed in Lagilu.

As soon as he saw the sign sent by Lagilu, his feelings were happy because again his trusted friend did not disappoint. Soon he and the others followed the direction of the light.

Instead of getting a warm welcome, he found that his best friend's head had been cut off by a Goblin.

Of course it made him rise in blood, moreover the one who beheaded him was the victim who had survived the slaughter before.

His wrist tightened even more when he saw the whereabouts of Goruru, who was killing someone with his sword from behind.

"I'm not gonna let you just walk away, you fucking goblin!"

As fast as he could, Henka sped up while unsheathing the sword towards Goruru's careless back. As the sword was about to hit him, Goruru moved his body so that it pierced the wind.

The goblin quickly rolled away to create distance and immediately got up, while preparing his sword to prepare for another attack coming from the person trying to attack him from behind.

"Your movement is slower than your friend I've beheaded!" Goruru Ejek.

"God! Don't be happy just because I escaped one of my attacks, the actions you did to my friend will not be forgiven! Henka said as he charged towards Goruru.

"So am I, too" answered Goruru as he prepared horses to accept Henka's attack.

One noisy swing of strength to slash the body of the opponent in front of him, another swing of the sword to fend off the attack from the opponent. The two gritted their teeth, due to the tightness of their duel.

Goruru tried to slash his opponent's head when he had the chance, but the attack was avoided by Henka by jumping backwards, Goruru drew his sword to stab Henka in the body. But the Goblin's misgivings didn't work on it.

This time Henka tried to slash the Goruru from the side, the attack could be tackled easily by the Goblin. A moment of mutual push ensued, both of them trying to get their enemies pushed and slashed.

"I will never forgive you for killing my friend!" Snap Henka.

"Heh that goes for me too. The lives of my brethren whom you have uprooted. I'll make sure it pays off with your death!

The two sanling departed and made them move away from each other, Goruru's breath hunting because her stamina had stayed a little longer.

While Henka was not affected at all, it was because the Warrior class had high Strength. To keep them strong, even though fighting in the long term.

'My breastbone hasn't recovered because it's against Lagilu. If I continue I may end up entering Freeze mode, then this person will immediately butcher me mercilessly.'

"You're dancing pretty well, I'm not gonna play around anymore!"

Henka's eyes sharpened and in a flash she disappeared in sight.

"He's fast!" Surprise Goruru.

His eyes glanced in all directions to find out where Henka was going to attack, he felt something dangerous approaching from behind. Soon he turned around but found nothing, suddenly his hand was slashed and blood spread from there.

'Eugh shit! He's faster than the Lagilu I've fought before.' His grunts ignored his injured hand.

Then incision after incision continues to emerge from Goruru's body, every incision appears blood spots always appear. Henka was enjoying how the Goblin was tormented, moreover she did not try to attack. An action that could be assumed by him, if the Goblin was desperate.

'But I will not make him die so easily, I will make him receive continuous attacks until his life is exhausted.'

'This time, this way!'

Just as he said that his sword slashed towards the right, cutting off both of Henka's hands that were holding the sword hilt to give a final strike.

The face of the head of the ambush force paled as his hand was cut off, by the sudden movement of Goruru which he thought was just silence.

'I'm off guard! He was waiting for the momentum of the final attack!'

"When performing the final strike, usually the movement is easy to read. I let you slash my body to make my HP stay a little longer, but I took both of your arms!"

Henka's teeth were lying when she heard Goruru explain her strategy.

"You bet on death, I think you've got a lot of luck. Do it!"

Hearing that, Goruru unhesitatingly gave Henka a final attack, causing her to die, after which she shouted out loudly.

"Your leader is dead in my hands! So surrender, put down your weapons!"

When they heard the announcement they were left terrified, then put down their weapons and raised their hands as a sign of surrender.

Those who had given up were gathered with their hands bound, then sat in line to wait for the decision. While the Goblins who won the fight, raised a voice above the sky.

"Finally, we did it!"

"We have avenged our brother!"

"Ouhuhh!!"

The cheers were so echoed, after which they collected the number of casualties due to the fight. One of the Goblins who had been assigned, to count the number of dead and living reported the results.

"I would say that the number of enemies who attacked us was 50, the dead were 35 and the remaining 15 were prisoners. While our side of 150 people, who died there were 65 people and 85 people left. That's the result I can give you!"

After delivering the report the Goblin resigned, then Goobu, Yudi, Goruru, and the survivors contemplated what had been conveyed by the Goblin earlier.

"What should we do with those who are left?" Ask Goruru.

"I want them killed, that's when my people slit their hands even after surrendering." Answer firmly Gobu.

All who heard Goobu's reply agreed that the captives were killed, however their grudges would not be fully satisfied if there was still nothing left of the slaughterers. But an unexpected suggestion came from Yudi.

"I don't think we should punish them!"

Upon hearing the words conveyed by Yudi, everyone was again surprised by the actions of the Mage. Those gathered knew nothing of the king's future advisor's ways of thinking.

"Why are you saying that?" Ask Goruru.

"I have something interesting and it takes their role." Reply Yudi.

Everyone who heard added was surprised by what the Mage had just said, then he added with a smile.

"Trust! This will be very useful for the village that we will build."
