The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Chapter 59
The Knight finally fends off the monsters and beasts running amok while everyone was in awe of Alex’s brutal assault who created havoc with his huge hammerhead.
His maniac laugh along with the cold words still rang in everyone’s ears.
Every time he smashed a beast, he would recite his epic line” Before the might of the steel, your fates have already been sealed.”
And then boom, boom, bang.
Dush!
After some explosions, a crater would be formed and inside it,a flattened monster would be found.
In the end, Count Hamilton already had a headache as the higher-ranked monsters’ bodies were quite precious and can be used to make various things like the leather can be used to make armour while claws and fangs are used for weapons but Alex destroyed all the precious materials.
…
At early dawn, another meeting was held.
No one had a wink of sleep for the entire night. Still, everyone seemed to be full of vigour.
The casualties in yesterday’s battle were quite less and it was less than 10 unlike previously when 30-40 would die in each battle.
As the discussion went on, the rangers who would roam in the forest having mastered many stealth abilities gave the report.
“It seems the goblins have started to rampage. Instead of attacking us, they are targeting the small villages nearby.”
Alex’s ears stood upon hearing the goblins.
“Uncle Hamilton, can you tell which species pose danger to us and whom we have to keep an eye out for.’
Count Hamilton nodded and said”There are many tribes inside the forest. But the most problematic are the Orcs and Wolftribesman.”
“Though they rarely appear and cause disturbance they are starting to move according to recent reports made by rangers. Both of them had intelligence similar to humans and had a huge tribe so taking them down is quite troublesome.”
“Third are goblins. Goblins always roam on the outskirts trying to go after humans. Though their strengths are low, they come in huge numbers.”
“Moreover, as you know, their reproduction capability is greater than ours. And to make matters worse they are targeting the lesser villages nearby. If this goes on this place will face a population crisis”
After learning Hamilton’s explanation, Alex asked”Why don’t they come inside the fort?”
“Old stubborn belief. Each of them is a tribe headed by a chief. They don’t want to summit. Fighting till death is an honour for them.” Hamilton.
Alex’s expression distorted and spoke”Idiots.”
Although Alex respected their courage and bravery, their ways are nothing but ways of fools.
“There are many villages where we have spotted the goblins, they are scouting first with a squad and then attacking the villagers who were easy to attack.”
Hamilton heard the ranger’s report carefully and pondered about it and asked the man to Mark the location on the map.
The man drew 9 locations and circled them with red where there was an imminent threat of goblins attack and circled the one with yellow where goblins are spotted in small numbers.
Since goblins always attack in groups, each location required at least a squad of 30-40 men. And 9 locations would amount to 300 soldiers and splitting the forces in such a time is troublesome.
While Count Hamilton tapped on the armpit of the chair, Alex looked at the red dots and pondered.
“Uncle, I think we should finish this as soon as possible. If we don’t do anything now, it will come back to bite us.”
“Moreover, since the beast is attacking mostly at noon or night. We should deploy all our forces and get rid of them.”Alex suggested.
” Your Highness, I understand your concern but the soldier has recently fought a battle and is tired now. Moreover, if we push them now they can’t fight properly at night.”Count Hamilton spoke with a solemn expression.
“Then let my soldiers take care of it.”
“Since we are just an additional force, our absence wouldn’t have a drastic effect.”
“I will take five with me, Ben will take another squad and Aeon will take another. We can cover up this area today.” Alex spoke, pointing his figure at a certain spot.
Count Hamilton nodded and spoke, “Roge, report the size and number along with all the details to His Highness.”
“Moreover, prepare a squad of rangers to lead his highness and th another squad.”
“Aeon, are you ready to take charge?”
“Yes, Father.” Aeon nodded with sparkling eyes.
After some more discussion and gathering information, the squad was formed and gathered in front of the gates.
Alex took five soldiers with him who looked more like his weapon carrier than fighters.
Count Hamilton gave some safety advice and his experience.
“This is the signal fare. If you are in trouble just light it. It will explode in the sky with a red light like fireworks.”
…
Alex and his mini squad followed the rangers and arrived at the broken down village.
Fortunately, to his relief, he didn’t find any human corpses. The village was just a minor tribe with less than 100 people living in the area and they seemed to evacuate this place.
“I noticed some faint movement.” The ranger spoke.
Alex nodded and moved forward.
As Alex lowered his back and squatted down.
He moved slowly after taking cover behind the house and tilted his head to the side.
He saw a group of goblins and three of them were wielding an old rusty and broken down sword.
Creeeeee!
A cracking sound was heard. A small amount of mud broke from the walls of a shabby house and fell with a small thud when one of the soldiers leaned on the wall.
The goblins looked around uncomfortably and raised their heads to see a group of people staring at them with an awkward expression.
The goblin pinned its gaze on Alex. Its appearance was so heinous that ordinary humans would either be stunned with fear or puke seeing its disgusting appearance. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
It had a greenish slimy body with his upper naked half and a pair of yellowish eyes.
Alex smiled bitterly seeing that their hide and seek game being found out so quickly.
“Hehehehehe!Hello,Nice to meet you.” Alex spoke and raised his hand to signal
The goblin tilted its head trying to understand Alex’s speech but an arrow appeared before it and pierced its throat.
