In the 'that time i got reincarnated as a slime' plane.
In the Jura Great Forest, before the Demon Lord had arrived, after the Goblins bestowed with names by Chen Hai completed their evolution—the entire village entered a new era!
It was an era called 'Chen Hai's Advent'!
Although he himself found this situation both exasperating and amusing… He had thought that by bestowing names on the Goblins, these guys would find ways to conquer the surrounding monsters and occupy more areas.
But what happened?
They focused most of their energy on building defensive fortifications and constructing daily dwellings.
Not only that, the Goblins also specifically excavated stones, painstakingly transporting them to the center of the village, and began carving a statue of Chen Hai.
Due to the lack of skill of the so-called 'Goblin artisans,' Chen Hai's statue looked very bizarre.
One eye was larger than the other, and the surface was pitted and uneven.
In this regard, the Demon Lord in the original work had a natural advantage.
After all, he only needed to sculpt a blob of slime with eyes and a mouth… And now—
Chen Hai sat on an uneven chair, his expression subtle as he stared at the busy figures in front of him.
The Goblins, hearing Chen Hai's latest command, began to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Therefore, after pausing the work on Chen Hai's statue, they all ran to the temporary warehouse to retrieve flags made of coarse cloth.
"Five Seven Zero"
Incidentally, the Goblins' warehouse was actually a dugout.
They dug pits with completely unrefined techniques, then reinforced them with wood, and a warehouse was thus completed.
Besides storing flags, it also contained food they had hunted in recent days.
It was said that some Goblins were also brewing wine, but… most of the Goblins who drank the wine collapsed, requiring at least three days to recover.
One could only say that Goblins were Goblins.
In many Western fantasy novels, it made sense that they were considered weak monsters, only slightly above slimes.
"Raise the flags!" Rigurd, the Goblin Village Chief, shouted to the front.
The assembled Goblin warriors immediately complied.
Flags with Chen Hai's human face pattern then fluttered in the wind.
It was just that the pattern was somewhat distorted and eerie.
"…"
The silent Chen Hai looked at the Goblin Village beside him.
"Rigurd."
"Lord! Speak!"
"Is your Goblin culture abstract art?"
"What's that?"
"Never mind."
Although exploring and conquering in another world was interesting, leading these guys would probably not be very efficient.
"Wow! Lord Chen Hai on the flag is so handsome!"
"Although not as good as the real thing, he's indeed very handsome!"
"Can I have one?! I want to use it as a blanket!"
Some beautiful Goblins exclaimed, their gazes occasionally falling on Chen Hai, as if observing his reaction… Hearing this, the Goblin responsible for making the flags waved his hand.
"No problem! Every household will have one of these from now on! But collecting and making the cloth takes a lot of time!"
"Just modify the blanket from my house."
"Isn't the one in your house also very tattered? How can you print Lord Chen Hai's face on something like that! It's too rude!"
It's not much different from now… After complaining inwardly, Chen Hai didn't blame these guys.
He turned to his side again.
"Rigurd, what was your original plan? Besides rebuilding your village."
"It's like this, Lord Chen Hai, once the village's defenses are built, we will conduct a more detailed exploration of the surroundings, and try to conquer the surrounding monsters one by one."
"Currently, the biggest threat is…?"
"The Fang Wolf to the northwest. They started harassing us after the Storm Dragon disappeared." Rigurd said through gritted teeth.
"Many of our companions were injured because of them. When we win, we must imprison them all under your statue and suppress them for life!"
"I don't think that's the point…"
"Ah, you're right. We won't build a prison under the statue; such a dirty building should be placed far away."
Chen Hai heard the answer and again denied it.
The Goblins deifying him had become somewhat obsessed… "Never mind that, let's go see the area where the Fang Wolf are active first."
"No problem." Rigurd nodded and immediately ran to the front.
He shouted
"Squad one! Squad two! Everyone assemble! The village is entering a level two alert state!"
At these words, many Goblins gathered and lined up five meters in front of Chen Hai.
Putting aside everything else, these Goblins were very disciplined.
Among them were Rigur, Rigurd's son, and Gobta, who was chewing on a weed.
At this moment, Rigurd glared at Gobta, who quickly spat out the weed from his mouth.
"Please address us."
"There's nothing much to say. You will follow me to patrol the vicinity. If we encounter enemies, I want to see your combat capabilities."
"Understood!"
After Rigurd finished speaking, he turned to the assembled Goblins.
The village chief shouted loudly,
"You all heard him! Today is Chen Hai's test for us! For victory! For glory! To gain the approval of Lord Chen Hai!!! Everyone must give 100% of their combat power! Understood?!"
"Understood!!!"
The Goblins roared earnestly.
Very good, very spirited.
As for their strength… with names bestowed, I wonder if they can fight a higher-ranked Direwolf.
Even if these guys weren't strong and had little combat experience, Chen Hai was still somewhat concerned.
————
————
In the world of "that time i got reincarnated as a slime," the Direwolf Clan is not weak at all.
They are the overlords of the Eastern Plains.
Merchants trading with the Eastern Empire and the countries surrounding the Jura Great Forest all find them a major headache.
Every member of the Direwolf Clan is equivalent to a C-rank monster. With a slight misstep, even veteran Adventurers can be bitten to death instantly.
However, what is truly terrifying is their collective action.
If the leader is excellent, the Direwolf Clan can unleash its true power.
Once they gather, they become a single-minded monster, moving in perfect unison.
Furthermore, when they gather, their rank is equivalent to B.
In this situation, without Veldora, their 'guardian deity,' the Direwolves naturally became arrogant and wanted to conquer this forest.
And now, Chen Hai was leading the Goblins to the hunting territory frequently touched by the Direwolf Clan.
Along the way, regarding the settings of this world, Chen Hai asked Rigurd, who was beside him,
"Conflicts between monsters are usually leader wars?"
"Well… at least not for us Goblins, because Goblins with names are the strongest warriors, not the supreme leaders. My son… is such an existence."
However—
Rigurd changed the subject,
"The Direwolf Clan is the kind of existence that 'follows the strong,' so the strongest guy is often the leader. 0"
"As long as the leader is defeated, the other Direwolves will submit."
"That is correct, Lord Chen Hai."
No wonder Ranga, the Direwolf named by the Demon Lord in the original plot, disregarded 'a mere grudge for killing his father.'
After all, in their eyes, the strong are those who dominate everything.
The combat power of these monsters must be a notch stronger than that of Goblins.
As Chen Hai pondered this, he had already led the team to the hunting area where the Direwolf Clan frequently appeared.
This area occasionally had wild beasts active.
These wild beasts are different from monsters; the latter possess magicules and are stronger.
At the same time, the Goblins became restless.
They nervously looked around, their wooden spears trembling slightly in their hands.
"Please forgive our embarrassment, Lord Chen Hai. Although we have trained during this period, as you know, we have always lived under the protection of the 'guardian deity' and rarely participated in battles."
"That's fine, just get used to it slowly."
Chen Hai was the same.
He was also confused when he first transmigrated and gained power.
He was not a genius, nor did he possess absolute calm adaptability.
However, as time passed, Chen Hai learned to master his power, control the overall situation, and act according to his own wishes.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind howled past.
The surrounding trees swayed, and rustling sounds were incessant.
A scent of blood gradually filled the air… making the already uneasy Goblins even more nervous.
Soon, the source of this smell appeared on a nearby hill.
A Direwolf appeared first.
It held a prey in its mouth, and bright red liquid dripped from the corner of its mouth.
After that, one, two, three, four, Direwolves appeared one after another in everyone's sight.
"It's the Direwolves!"
"It's those guys who attacked us before!"
"We m-must fight!"
"We must fight!!!"
Seeing their enemies, the Goblins, who were previously afraid and uneasy, suddenly ignited with fighting spirit.
Nothing is more motivating than hatred 3.9.
And on the hill—
The Fang Wolf Leader spat out the prey from its mouth.
It looked down at the Goblin warrior group led by a human below.
These Goblins were completely different from a few days ago, all having evolved.
Such a strange situation was puzzling, but the Fang Wolf Leader did not retreat because of it.
On the contrary, he had another idea.
"These guys can evolve, they must have received guidance from a master."
"Clan leader, do you mean…"
"As long as we defeat those Goblins, I believe we can attract the attention of that master."
"Then… we will also gain power?!"
"Exactly! We will win everything!"
The Fang Wolf Leader roared to the sky, commanding its tribe to prepare for battle.
"The only thing to watch out for is that human. He looks like he's leading the Goblins, but he doesn't have that dangerous aura about him. He might have some trump card."
"First, let's clear out the Goblins around the human."
The Direwolves came to this conclusion.
So, under the leader's renewed roar, the Direwolves charged down the hill.
However, what they didn't know was that the 'master' they had just guessed was the 'human without a dangerous aura' (Chen Hai) on the scene.
