◈ 351. [Free Exploration] Conference
“This looked disrespectful.”
The true Carly-Alexandre was embarrassed. I shrugged.
“are you okay. I’ve seen many of your nightmare corps commanders’ even more lousy ones.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Aren’t they all nasty?”
“Are you saying you’re not?”
“At least you look better than those kids, don’t you? It would be funny for a goblin to say such a thing.”
It’s funny, but to be honest, it felt true to some degree.
Compared to the eccentric and heinous behavior of the Nightmare Corps commanders he had met so far, Carly-Alexandre was an enemy commander with some manners.
“If you like poetry that much, then shouldn’t you just write your own?”
Suddenly, I was curious and asked.
He used a lot of fancy vocabulary. Even if writing a famous poem is difficult, wouldn’t it be enough to improve your skills? want to
《We who have been revived here cannot create something new.》
Callie-Alexandre replied in a bitter voice.
《We are extracted from memories of the past… … Because it is nothing more than a ‘shadow’ of a nightmare.
“Extract from memory? A nightmare shadow?”
When I asked again, Carly-Alexandre gave a slow nod.
《Since I told you a beautiful poem, it’s hard to say that it’s a thank you, but I’ll explain about our ‘monster’.》
The Goblin God King explained slowly.
The monsters are memories of the past extracted from the nightmares of the residents of the Lake Kingdom.
All of them are failures who once threatened the existence of mankind, but were eventually eradicated.
The King of Kings – In other words, the Demon King revived them through a special process, and the revived nightmares swore absolute loyalty to the Demon King.
《In the process of reviving us, it seems that King Wangjung interfered with our minds. We instinctively obeyed the King of Kings, and at the same time.”
Carly-Alexandre’s gaze glanced at me.
“I came to have hostility toward mankind. Several times stronger than before.”
I frowned.
The hatred for humans that had been felt from the bottom of their souls whenever they encountered monsters.
‘That hatred… … Was it intentionally amplified by the demon king?’
The hatred I face is not for each of these monsters… … Was it the devil’s will?
“Your King of Kings seems to hate humans very much.”
“Yes. Surely, without fail, you want to annihilate royalties. Maybe that’s why he interfered with our psyche.”
“Anything like that, you’re quite friendly to humans, aren’t you?”
“haha… … I never hated humans in my life. No, it was the one I liked.”
Didn’t he harbor a lot of hatred in the first place, so there was nothing to amplify?
Callie-Alexandre let out a light sigh and slowly raised her head and looked up into the dark sky.
“Anyway, yes. We are stuffed like this forever, wandering under the darkness of this place… … It is nothing more than a servant’s life, waiting only for orders from the King of Kings.
“… … .”
“We are beings who can only dwell on the past forever. It is impossible to create something new. This is why I write poetry. It’s absurd.”
“Have you tried?”
When I tossed it, Carly-Alexandre looked a little taken aback.
《… … To be honest, I’ve never tried writing poetry in my life. I was only good at breaking and burning, because I had no talent for making or arranging things.”
“Then try again later.”
Were you concluding that you couldn’t do it without even trying it?
I was dumbfounded, so I smiled and nodded.
“You know? Will a plausible phrase come out?”
《… … .》
Carly-Alexandre, who had been dazed as if she had been hit in the head, burst out laughing.
“I will try it once. And I’m sorry to keep making requests, but in case… … Can you tell me how the outside world has changed in the meantime?”
I frowned for a moment, but then I opened my mouth.
Anyway, the meeting should go on for 30 minutes. This is a topic that has nothing to lose, but there was no reason not to talk about it.
For the rest of the day, they talked about the history of the outside world. I’ve only heard about it, but I know it roughly.
《… … Right. Did the humans eventually become the losers of the world?”
After listening to my savage history lecture, Carly-Alexandre nodded.
《To think that a young race that did not even have a single guardian tree would become the final victor. It’s amazing.”
“Guardian tree?”
《It is also called the guardian tree. A tree that protects each race… … A tree of grace bestowed by the god of that tribe. A spiritual passage connecting the gods of the spirit world and the races of the underworld.
I blinked curiously.
No, do humans have it? It’s called Everblack, and there’s a black thorn tree. There is one in the imperial capital… … .
‘That’s the original… … It wasn’t there?’
Come to think of it, while I was exploring the District 6 dungeon [Lab] not too long ago. This is where he found the twig of Everblack.
An Everblack twig found in the Lake Kingdom, which was destroyed 500 years ago.
And 500 years ago, the Everblack Empire declared its title and began to grow in size from a small kingdom.
All of this, if it has anything to do with it… … ?
《We goblins also didn’t have a guardian tree.》
Carly-Alexandre’s words continued to ring in my ears as I pondered.
《Neither humans nor goblins were blessed by the gods, but humans have come to rule the world and goblins are licking the darkness here.》
I was a little puzzled and asked.
“You are the god of goblins. Shouldn’t you just bless your race?”

《… … I am not a god.”
The Goblin God King shook his head.
“It’s just that my own people supported me on their own. They put ‘Kali-‘ in front of my name, and worshiped me as a god… … In the end, there was an opportunity to obtain godhood, but I refused.”
“what? why?”
《It was because the moment he gained divinity, he would no longer be able to be the leader of our tribe. My people still needed me.”
Carly-Alexandre laughed bitterly.
《I wanted to achieve something with only the power of my tribe, without borrowing the power of God. In the end, it failed beautifully, but.”
“… … .”
“So, I’m not a god, I’m just a failure. I am just a goblin who was lucky enough to sit on the throne.”
The conversation was interrupted for a moment at the end of his self-deprecating murmur.
I wanted to ask more, but Carly-Alexandre began to slowly adjust her garb.
Come to think of it, almost 30 minutes had already passed.
《Today, thank you for accommodating to my request. Thank you for telling me beautiful poems and for letting me know about the history of the past.”
“It was nothing.”
I’m going to kill you now If you gave me 30 minutes of chatting with no money on the road to the underworld, it was cheap.
“I hate to say it’s a price, but I’ll teach you one thing.”
Kali-Alexandre stood up from her seat and whispered.
《This time, the ‘blessing’ that the King of Kings bestowed on our tribe… … It is ‘breeding’.
“… … ?!”
I was confused at the moment because the words were different, but I understood it without difficulty.
Dark event of this stage.
Its contents… … breeding?
“However, as I said before, we are only shadows replicating the nightmares of the past. Something like reproduction is impossible.”
Carly-Alexandre looked back slowly at her corps.
《So, the King of Kings is ‘cloning’ my corps… … My legion to invade Inse this time will be much more numerous than usual.”
“… … .”
“Guardian of public interest, if you can prepare, please prepare. Before the waves of my race crash upon your walls.”
Standing up from the seat opposite me, I gnashed my teeth.
“Why are you giving me this information?”
Does it matter if I tell you this much? If that’s not the case, are you saying I can’t respond if I find out?
However, the answer that came back was unexpected.
“Because I don’t want to attack you.”
“what?”
《However, a leader cannot lead his tribe according to his individual wishes, nor should he do so.》
Turning around, Carly-Alexandre murmured softly.
《… … I wanted to be born as a human. If not, it would have been better if it had been born as a line of poetry, a line of song, and a line of play. But I’m a goblin It is an inescapable monster.”
“… … .”
《We goblins are monsters whose business is invading, invading, and plundering. If this is the natural nature of our people, and if I am their leader, then I have a duty to lead them.”
Carly-Alexandre looked back at me and muttered bitterly.
«I rejected the godhead, and I did not sit on the throne because I wanted to. however… … If my people treat me as a god and a king, I also have an obligation not to abandon that responsibility.”
“… … .”
《He who knows the beauty of the poetic language.》
Carly-Alexandre, who went and stood in front of his goat, took the goat’s reins.
“Let’s go back to the human race. And let them enjoy the beauty of the splendid culture you have built to the very end.”
“… … .”
«I will go to kill and burn it—according to the natural instincts of my kind.»
Grinding my teeth, I raised my hand up with a grin.
“Do you think I’ll let you go here quietly, Goblin?”
Immediately, Damian and Junior prepared a long-range wide-area attack on the castle wall, and my warriors were ready to rush out through the open gate.
Kali-Alexander is completely immune to long-range shooting and magic. However, it is weak in close combat.
According to the original strategy, while Junior and Damian poured firepower into the goblin corps, the vanguard classes rushed in and killed the goblin god king… … !
But without even turning around, Carly-Alexandre murmured softly:
“You’re misunderstanding something, human.”
Then, he lightly waved his hand.
《The one who calmly lets go is me.》
thud! thud! thud!
Suddenly, the earth’s axis rang in all directions.
Surprised, I looked around and finally found it.
With the Colosseum under siege, advancing from afar… … A horde of goblins.
I thought there were a thousand or so goblins waiting in front, but no.
The number of goblins that surrounded the Colosseum tightly, bowed high, and slowly closed the gap… … It seemed ten times that.
Well-tanned leather armor on the body, horn bows made of buffalo horns in the hands, and a short bow at the waist.
An army of fully armed goblins.
thud! thud! thud!
Every time they roll their feet in perfect order, I choke.
All the while I didn’t know
number.
It was the first time I had truly felt that numbers were such a powerful weapon.
“What, what is this quantity?!”
“too… … many… … !”
The shouts of panicked party members were heard.
I gritted my teeth and glared at Carly-Alexander from behind. The Goblin God King was just putting his body on the goat’s saddle.
Hit me on the back right now?
Wouldn’t it be better to kill it quickly and escape by teleporting?
However, if the battle is delayed even a little, it will be surrounded by over 10,000 goblins. Then there is no way to escape safely… … .
Poof!
Carly-Alexandre, standing on top of a goat, waved her arms, and the advancing goblin army stopped in an instant like a lie.
Then Carly-Alexandre swung her arms across once more, and the goblins began to slowly back away.
Still aiming thousands of arrows at us.
“It was a pleasant conversation. Thank you for your big heart, Ash.”
As they drove the goats back to their legion, Carly-Alexandre spoke the last words.
《However, there is a separate conversation suitable for the commanders of a group of enemies who are hostile to each other.》
“… … .”
《On the battlefield, see you again soon.》
Damn dag dag dag-
The mountain goat carrying the Goblin God King moves away.
At the same time, the goblin legion withdrew from around the Colosseum as if the tide was sinking.
In less than 10 minutes, they disappeared cleanly into the darkness of the Lake Kingdom.
Tring!
Before the occupation, the system information about defeating the first wave of the monster wave came to mind.
Annoyedly I set it aside. Defeating is a bitch.
‘We didn’t do any harm to each other… … .’
In other words, it did no damage on the other side.
The enemy commander was right in front of me, but to miss the kill chance like this… … !
‘… … No, he was even called the God King.’
You must have been very careful about your own safety.
Besides being surrounded by the goblin army, he must have secured at least some means to protect himself and applied for a meeting with me.
I flicked my head and flicked through the system window. Still, I got a lot of information, and most of all, I encountered a goblin army.
This means that the next stage enemy information will now be displayed… … but… … .
“… … ?”
When I opened the stage enemy information window, I blinked.
“… … What’s this.”
At that place,
