gratitude?

Xiu Yi curled his lips and smiled.

Ever since he massacred the bald man’s base yesterday, he has gained a certain understanding of his own strength.

Knowing that the truth of the world is that the strong prey on the weak, he would not serve as a tool for the sake of the so-called gratitude of the nobles.

However, Shuichi's disdainful smile took on a different meaning in the eyes of the knight squire and the Iron Wolf Kog'gas.

Iron Wolf Kogas: Why do you laugh so disdainfully, young master? Do you look down on the knight? That's right, young master is of noble status, so a mere knight would naturally not be taken seriously. No, I must follow the young master well, maybe one day, I, old Kogas, can also become a noble lord respected by everyone.

Knight's squire: It's over, it's over. It seems that this young master is not a simple person. I actually stopped the noble's carriage and saw something I shouldn't have seen... I should still have tomorrow, right? Will Lord Soma give up on me to please this man? I'm dead... I'm dead this time...

Anyone who has some understanding of the century-long humiliation suffered by the flower-growing families will understand that the truth is only within the range of cannons.

When other countries suspect that my country has weapons of mass destruction, my country must do everything possible to prove that we really have weapons of mass destruction!

Shuichi is now powerful, so he can ignore most of the rules of humans.

The so-called noble blood of the aristocracy is nothing more than brainwashing the lower classes of the people by the vested interests in order to strengthen their own power.

No matter how noble your bloodline is, can you still survive after being beheaded? (Louis XVI, please move aside to avoid accidental injury.)

Honestly speaking, Shuichi had no interest in caring about the Soma Knights.

In his view, fighting among nobles was always inevitable.

This knight's squire rushed over in a hurry, but did not say who the enemy was. I guess it was probably a noble.

Is it interesting to help one noble and offend another noble?

Xiuyi was about to refuse, but the knight's squire's skill of reading people's expressions had obviously reached a relatively high level.

As soon as I saw Xiuyi's face change, I knew something bad was going to happen.

The knight's attendant immediately spoke first: "If it were you, you would understand that the empire is being invaded by alien creatures..."

"What did you say? Alien creatures?" Xiuyi was stunned. He never expected that the real situation had nothing to do with the conflict between the nobles that he had guessed.

The knight's attendant was also confused by Shuichi's reaction: "Don't you know?"

The knight's squire was somewhat suspicious of Shuichi. After all, the invasion of alien monsters was a secret known to the upper echelons of the empire, and the only ones who were kept in the dark were the common people of the empire.

Could it be... that I had seen it wrong, and this young man was just an ordinary person?

But how could an ordinary civilian have such an extraordinary bearing?

In fact, the bald man’s diary recorded the invasion of another world, but that was at the very end and Shuichi hadn’t seen it yet.

"Are you an awakener?"

Xiu raised his head consciously to look above the knight's squire's head and found that there was no number.

Well, there are no numbers on the heads of awakened ones, only shadow beasts have them.

"I'm……"

Just as the knight's squire opened his mouth, a spear shot out from the woods on the side of the road. It wasn't very fast, but its target was Shuichi.

Ever since the knight's squire came running to ask for help, Iron Wolf Kog'gas sensed that something was wrong.

Especially when the knight's squire talked about resisting alien creatures, the Iron Wolf Kog'gas was even more reminded of the black python that suddenly appeared last night.

He looked around vigilantly, fearing that a monster like the black python would suddenly appear beside him.

When Kog'Gath noticed a spear shooting towards Shuichi, his whole body tensed up.

He jumped up suddenly, drew his dagger, and used his backhand to deflect the spear that was flying towards him in a parabola.

The spear was unexpectedly light and not as powerful as expected.

Just from this one fight, the experienced Iron Wolf Kogas understood that this opponent was of the type that was small in size and weak in strength.

But he was extremely good at hiding, and he was quite fast and had enough endurance. Otherwise, he would not have been able to catch up with the knights and attendants on horseback, let alone sneak in or out to launch a sneak attack.

"Enemy attack!"

Kog'gas stood behind Xiuyi and loudly reminded the old guys of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group to prepare for battle.

Although the Iron Wolf Mercenaries are a wandering mercenary group, they can barely be considered elite in all aspects.

The reason is simple. Every member of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group wears half-body leather armor, and their weapons are not cheap stuff like spears.

The two best archers in the mercenary group took off the bows on their backs as soon as they noticed the spears coming, put arrows on the bows within three seconds, released the strings and shot.

Swish, two arrows pierced through the gaps between branches and leaves, bringing out a scream.

“Ah…jijijiji!!”

A green-skinned dwarf emerged from the bushes, with a dangling arrow on his head and a dagger in his left hand, waving it wildly in the air.

Shuichi's first reaction when he saw this creature wasn't, "It won't die even if it's shot in the head!"

But, how come this thing is here! ?

The green-skinned humanoid dwarf is no more than 130CM tall, with big and long pointed ears, slightly wrinkled skin, skinny limbs, and a round belly, looking like a mutant version of ET with long ears.

"Goblin!"

When the knight's squire saw the attacker jumping out of the bushes, he drew his sword from his waist and rushed forward without saying a word.

The goblin was shot in the head, and his main weapon, the spear, had just been thrown away, leaving him with only a dagger in his hand.

One of the knight's squires charged forward and stabbed the goblin's heart in the left chest with his sword, killing him instantly.

The knight's squire raised his left foot and stepped on the goblin's body, then used his right hand to pull the sword out of the goblin's chest.

"Bah! Bastard!"

The young servant spat at the goblin's corpse, which was still open-eyed, and took out a clean cloth from his trouser pocket, and wiped the blood off the sword vigorously.

Judging from the attitude of the knights' squires towards the goblins, there must be a deep grudge between the two sides.

"When you asked for help before, you wanted us to help you fight the goblins?" Without waiting for the knight's squire to wipe the sword clean, Shuichi walked up eagerly and carefully observed the characteristics of the dead goblin.

Especially the crotch that was only covered by a piece of cloth. Xiuyi carefully examined it for a long time: "Let me ask you, are there any females among them? Or, do they kidnap women?"

There are many settings for goblins, and there are even some legends that goblins are variants of ancient elves... To be honest, that's a bit nonsense, but goblins are indeed a kind of novice monster that is difficult to avoid in Western fantasy stories.

They are weak and cunning, treacherous and cruel, cowardly and ferocious...all the derogatory words in the world used to describe them are considered compliments.

The goblin setting that Shuichi finds the most unacceptable is the goblin in "Goblin Slayer"...it's simply disgusting to the extreme.

"To be honest, they only appeared in the last month. We don't know whether there are females in the tribe, but they really like to kidnap women..." At this point, the knight's squire clenched his fists, and the anger was burning his reason.

"I see, they are attacking the village, right?" Without waiting for the knight's squire to respond, Shuichi turned to the Iron Wolf Kogas and said, "Unload the horses from the carriage. I need them."

"..."

The knight's squire wanted to say straight away that he had summoned the mercenaries just in case, and was not sure whether these green-skinned dwarves would really attack the village.

But the lumberyard has been attacked, and the probability of goblins attacking the wood village is actually quite high.

What's more, he was worried that there might be problems in the village, so he came out to look for the mercenary group that had just left the village, just in case.

Now... I feel a bit stuck.

If Shuichi returned to Shuki Village and found that everything was fine... I dare not imagine that scene.

Should we pray for the goblins to attack the village, or pray for the goblins not to attack existence?

If you ride a horse, from here to the village, even if you don't let the horse run at full speed, it will only take about ten minutes to reach the entrance of Shuki Village.

Xiuyi had learned to ride a horse. His parents in this life were businessmen with some wealth. In fact, Xiuyi's living standard was not worse than that of some nobles who had fallen on hard times but were still trying to maintain their dignity.
