Chapter 97: Forest Encounter Battle
Outside the wooden wall, twenty-four Ogres stood under the wall.
They lined up in a single row.
Each Ogre wore heavy armor and held a massive spiked club.
“Roar!”
The impact on its shoulder caused Benben to let out a roar.
Its massive body began running with enormous strides.
The other Ogres followed closely, charging into the forest.
Although their movents appeared sowhat clumsy, their speed was astonishing.
In no ti, they caught up with the main army that had yet to fully enter the forest.
Facing the approaching Ogres, the Goblins scattered to make way.
The dense crowd of Goblins opened up paths wide enough for the Ogres to pass through.
The twenty-four Ogres charged into the forest like heavy tanks.
It took over half an hour before the wasteland outside the eastern wall finally quieted down.
The once bustling sea of Goblins had disappeared entirely, leaving only the forest deep with noise.
The commotion gradually faded into the distance.

Goblin River's Northern Forest
It was now afternoon, and the forest was eerily quiet.
“Boss, I sll pigs. They've been here!”
Deep within the dim forest, a group of Goblins gathered.
One particular Goblin was the tallest, standing around 2.5 ters with a massive build.
In its presence, the surrounding Goblins resembled little rabbits.
Gobu Di glanced around the depths of the forest.
“Tell the little bosses to spread out with their underlings. If they find the Pign, kill them!”
Gobu Di grinned, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes.
Compared to wild boars, Pign at was far more delicious—fat, tender, and incredibly satisfying.
“Boss, how about we take a look at the Pign's settlent?”
Gobu Di kicked the Goblin who made the suggestion, sending it flying.
“Idiot, do you want to die?”
The kicked Goblin quickly got up from the ground, smiling ingratiatingly as it trotted back to its boss's side.
“Boss, what does the big boss want us to do?”
Gobu Di glared at the little Goblin.
It let out a nacing grin, its eyes gleaming with greed.
“The big boss wants us to wander around the nearby forest. If we encounter Pign, we’ll kill them!”
The Goblin grinned back.
“Boss, that’s it! If the big boss wants us to kill Pign, wouldn’t it be better to attack their settlent directly?”
Gobu Di looked at the little Goblin like it was a fool and kicked it flying again.
“Idiot, are you looking to get yourself killed? I'm not as stupid as you!”
The big boss only instructed them to hunt Pign in the forest, not to attack their settlent.
“Boss! Boss! Pign!”
Just then, a Goblin ran over, panting excitedly.
“A lot of Pign! They’re over there!”
The Goblin pointed to the northeastern part of the forest.
“How many is a lot?”
Gobu Di glanced in the direction the Goblin indicated.
“Well…”
The Goblin began counting on its fingers.
Finally, its eyes lit up, and it held out both hands.
“Boss, more than ten sets of fingers!”
“Ten sets of fingers?”
Gobu Di scratched its head, looking puzzled.
“I know! That’s ten!”
Another Goblin jumped in, looking pleased with itself.
“No, ten sets of ten is two tens—it’s twenty!”
“No, no, it’s not twenty!”
“It’s twenty!”
The Goblins around Gobu Di started bickering, faces flushed with anger.
Their noisy argunt irritated Gobu Di.
“Shut up!”
Its roar silenced the squabbling Goblins.
The Goblins imdiately shut their mouths, shrinking under their boss’s fierce gaze.
Gobu Di pointed at the Goblin who reported the Pign.
“Are there more of them than us?”
The Goblin quickly shook its head.
It started counting on its fingers again.
“Stop counting! As long as they’re fewer than us, it’s fine!”
Gobu Di glared at the little Goblin and pulled a war horn from its waist.
It placed the horn to its mouth and blew.
The long, deep sound echoed through the forest.
All the Goblins scattered throughout the forest heard the horn at the sa ti.
They turned and ran toward the sound’s source.
Their boss was summoning them!
anwhile, in the northeastern part of the forest.
Amidst the dim woods, shadows moved.
Over a hundred Pign were advancing through the forest.
The sound of the horn caused all the Pign to halt.
They raised their heads, looking toward the direction of the horn.
“It’s Goblins!”
Hearing the horn’s echo through the forest, Pig Gutwater grinned.
Recently, Goblins had been frequently appearing in the western forest, harassing hunters.
Under the chief’s orders, Pig Gutwater led the team to clear out the pesky Goblins.
“Everyone, follow , quickly!”
Pig Gutwater let out an excited roar, wielding a large machete as its plump body charged deeper into the forest.
The other Pign warriors hurried to keep up.
Their chubby bodies jiggled as they ran, filling the forest with snorts and wheezes.
It wasn’t pig squeals but the sound of the Pign panting as they ran.
Half an hour later, deep in the dim forest.
“Bad news! Bad news!”
“Boss! Boss! The Pign are charging this way!”
A Goblin ran over, panting heavily.
“What’s there to fear? Charge back at them!”
Gobu Di slapped the panicked Goblin, sending it flying.
By now, over three hundred Goblins had gathered around Gobu Di.
“Little ones, follow ! Wahaha!”
Gobu Di laughed loudly, letting out a roar.
Its massive body charged into the forest with its spiked club.
“Wah! Wah!”
The other Goblins, inspired by their boss’s bravery, excitedly shouted and followed.
In less than ten minutes, the two sides t in a slightly open area of the forest.
“It’s Goblins!”
“It’s at!”
Both sides spotted each other simultaneously.
“Kill them!”
“Eat them!”
Gobu Di grinned viciously, shouting loudly.
Opposite him, Pig Gutwater roared back.
The excited Goblins licked their lips greedily at the sight of the chubby Pign.
“Whoosh!”
The Goblin crossbown were the first to attack.
They pulled their triggers, releasing bolts into the forest.
The whizzing sound of the bolts made the Pign hastily cover their heads.
