Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
self-worth of a leader

There was not a single soldier standing guard in the village.all of them had been deployed in the North helping the main troops.Grandfather and the people in the village might be able to deal with dozens of goblins, but hundreds were not even a bet.

"Everybody leave! we can't fight them!" grandfather's orders were heard throughout the village hall and caused panic

everyone ran scattered in all directions.heard the hordes of goblins arriving at the village hall made everyone panic and immediately left the village hall.so did I and Kiara's brother, me, as soon as we heard the news we also left the village hall and ran after the horde of people led by Kenzo, one of the village officials.

at the moment everyone is scattered and scattered in many groups.I do not know for sure how many hordes we are divided for.which we all know at this time that we have to run.

almost everyone had already run away from the village hall.but grandfather yet, he checked everyone inside and saw if there were still people who had not left. he did not want to leave until he confirmed that the village hall was empty.

after making sure all the citizens left, grandfather also prepared to run away until he heard a voice from the pile of blankets.

"Uhukkus! uhukkk!" the severe coughing sound made grandfather turn away.

grandfather approached the pile of blankets and lifted it up. An old man hid under the pile of blankets, and rather a grandfather who was hiding was the ooki, the village advisor.

"ooki, what are you doing here is leaving! the goblins are very close!" grandfather shouted at the ooki and pulled his hand.

"uhuck! uhukk! mr. Rondo, just leave me. It seems like this is the end of my life.my body is no longer able to run." with a weak look he took off the grip of grandfather's hand.

"we're all gonna get out of here ooki! you can't die here, out of all the people under me, you're the most loyal of them all." Grandpa clasped the ooki's hand back.

"let's get the hell out of here." Grandpa grabbed Ooki's hand on his shoulder and they walked step by step leaving the village.

they walked and walked further and further away from the village hall.The goblin horde had entered the village hall and they ate all the food in the village hall.it seemed like they were starving hordes of goblins.

grandfather and ooki continued to walk away from the village, with sweat pouring out all over their bodies.

as the two of them walked, thinking that they were no longer being chased by the goblin horde. in front of them a man in luxurious clothes was sitting on a horse and behind the man two goblin champions along with dozens of hobgoblins were standing behind him. they stood there as if they knew grandfather's arrival and waited there.

looking at them, desperately grandfather embraced the ooki and turned around trying to run from the man.

"it's no use, surround those two people!" the man ordered the horde of goblins behind him.

the goblins easily chased after grandfather and ooki and easily rendered them helpless.

"uhuk!! uhukk!! this many hobgoblins!? and also two goblin champions!? what does all this mean" said ooki fear.

the man entered into the circle of goblins circling the grandfather and ooki and confronted the grandfather.

"seat!" shouted the man loudly.

a goblin ran up to the man on his knees with the head of his feet and his palms formed the ground into a chair-like position. the man immediately sat on top of him in front of the grandfather and ooki who still did not expect what they saw.

"who're you! whatdoyouwant!" grandfather took out his sword and pointed it at the man.

the goblins surrounding them looked displeased, and they advanced with grandfather killing intent.

"gts!! everybody quiet!!" the man calmed the angry goblins and they returned to their positions.

grandfather still did not lower his weapon.directed his sword to all the goblins around him.

"who among you two is Rondo touji?" ask the man.

"I'm Rondo touji and I'm the leader of this village!" grandpa said firmly in front of the man.

"ohh, as I heard from people, so the other one is just an ordinary grandfather.kill him!" said the man.

an advanced hobgoblin pulled the ooki from beside the grandfather and directly stuck his sword in his stomach.

"aaagrgrhghh.." quickly the ooki fell to the ground.

"what are you making you a monster!!!" with his anger grandfather ran towards the man and tried to kill him with his sword.

the man just kept quiet and smiled, and the moment of grandfather's slash was only a few seconds away.

*bummm, goblin champion hit grandfather's face and made him fall on the ground.

"i told you not to be too strong!" the man continued to whip the goblin champion repeatedly until blood dripped from his hard skin.

"aargg, forgive... Deuce.." said the goblin champion pleaded.

grandfather almost fainted from the goblin's punch earlier, he was sprawled on the ground and at this moment he was having trouble standing up.

"stands him!" the man ordered the goblins again.

two hobgoblins advanced, setting grandfather up by shrugging his shoulders.

the man came forward and stood very close in front of the grandfather, brought his face closer and looked at the grandfather's face right in his eyes.

fearlessly the grandfather looked at his face with an unfinished fury, moved his teeth and clenched his hands.

"heh, you got guts also turned out to be parents."

said the man.

"shut your mouth you cruel monster!" shouting grandpa.

"what are you waiting for! just kill me!" grandpa shouted at the man.

"of course, if I wanted to kill you, I would have heard about you, Rondo touji, and I wanted to make a deal with you."

grandfather just kept quiet while staring at the man.

"oh sorry I forgot, my name is Deuce, and I want to make a kingdom above your village and other surrounding villages" said the man arrogantly.

"you want us to move out of this place and not interfere with your kingdom anymore? well I'll do it." said grandfather guessing.

"hahahaha that's ridiculous! whip him!" yelled the man.

a hobgoblin took out his whip and whipped grandfather very strongly.

"aaagrar!!!" grandfather shouted as fresh blood flowed out from his back.

"heard old man, I could have killed all of you with the goblin army I had!" said the man threatened and grabbed grandpa's hair.

"but unfortunately it's not just your village that I need to raze, and I'm really upset about the Horde goblin that you guys managed to stop! Do you have any idea how much I lost huh!!!" the man hit Grandpa's face.

"just for the sake of one village I lost five thousand goblins and one goblin champion. do you know how many years it took me to gather that much huh!!! and don't forget all the money I spent feeding them!" the man continued to punch grandfather's face nonstop.

"listen to this old man" the man grabbed grandfather's hair firmly and pointed his face close to grandfather's face.

"listen to this well, this is the deal we're gonna make. If you accept it, I'll let you live, but if you refuse it, you're gonna die here right now." said the man in front of Grandpa's face.

"pretend that the goblin hordes in the village hall are gone. Come to your citizens and bring them back to the village."

"lead them to the village hall and when you get to the village hall, I'll trap them with the traps I set up. I'm gonna tie them all up and sell them on the black market. I could've killed them all but it's gonna cost them a lot more if they're alive."

"don't worry I won't lie about your life's safety, we'll do a blood contract" Deuce assured Grandpa.

with a helpless body grandfather listened, and he slowly opened his mouth.

"a.. I. I'd rather die!" said Grandpa with all the energy he had.

"you're a fucking grandpa!!!!" Deuce hit grandpa's face.

"It seems like there's no other choice. Finish him!" Deuce comes out of the goblin circle leaving her grandfather and the horde of goblins surrounding her

mercilessly, the goblins beat the grandfather until he was sprawled on the ground, his blood was purified, tears indistinguishable from blood washed all over him, and the memories that were with him.

Rondo touji, the village chief of the rondo village.on that day breathed his last by not leaving the pride of a leader in his soul.

no one knew about this, at this time all the villagers were running. The goblins who had been eating food in the village hall began to chase them.
