The Devil Tears: Lord of the Night
Arc 1 Chaper 4: Forests Alema

...Alema Forest...

Ludwig POV

Ludwig prepared to head off the 2 goblins that ran towards him and apply what he learned from his Captain.

“Grrrhhha abugugugrahba.“ A goblin would stab him but Ludwig managed to dodge the obvious attack.

“Death to you!!!“ Ludwig counterattacked and beheaded the goblin that attacked him.

This was the first time Ludwig had felt a real battle during his time in the Roaring Wolf Mercenary Warrior Group. Ludwig then approached the remaining 1 goblin, he did a stab using his sword.

“Arrggggghhh grraa.“ Ludwig stabbed him right in the heart of the goblin.

‘ I can do it, I've become a real soldier’ Ludwig was very excited when he managed to kill for the first time a real monster. Then arrived – arrived he felt someone approaching him from behind.

“Krrguuuurhhgh.“ When he looked back, there was a goblin that was about to jump onto his back. However, someone managed to cut the goblin save Ludwig's life.

“Do not let your guard down! the battle has just begun,“ rebuked Ernest.

His helper was the one who always fought swords when training Ludwig—Deputy Captain Roaring Wolf— Ernest

“Ready! bang Ernest,“ reply Ludwig.

“This entourage of goblins are many, do not let separate remain to protect each other,“ Ernest's orders.

...----------------...

Meanwhile Luciel and Liz saw the fight of the Caravan Guards who were only a few meters away from them clearly

“Liz, hold my master's sword,“ Luciel said.

“Good.“

Luciel observed the fight not far from him. ‘ judging from the number of goblins that attacked it seems Caravan Guard will be overwhelmed ‘ in fact this is not the first time Luciel watched the battle. Luciel then held a dagger in his hand.

Some goblins escaped the perimeter and attacked the merchants even heard some screams.

“Graarrrrrhraahh.“ Three medium-sized goblins approached their carriage after passing through the Caravan Guards. 1 goblins each – approached the driver and they both.

“Grrrhhhh abugubego.“ Luciel and Liz then advanced to fight the 2 goblins that ran towards them. Luciel tries to stab his dagger into the goblin's heart, but the goblin catches Luciel's hand.

“Agubugugrhhhh.“ The goblin grinned and showed him a tooth full of blood. Then the goblin dropped Luciel's dagger with his other hand.

“Grrrraaaarrrrrrr “ the goblin then jumps and drops Luciel to the ground and starts riding it. Due to their equal body size, Luciel was unable to surpass him with strength. Because basically, a goblin has the same strength as an adult even though it is small. Luciel held the goblin's arm that was about to claw and tear his face.

“Grrrrhhaaa grgarhhhrhh “

“Ahhhh!“ luciel screams in pain.

The goblin managed to stab Luciel in the hand with its claws. If Luciel did not fight directly Luciel was confident that he could kill 3 Goblins at once, but this time they were ambushed by goblins.

“Hiyahhhh!“

“Uggghhhhh.“ suddenly a sword stuck in the neck of a goblin and flooded Luciel's body with his fishy-smelling blood.

“You're okay - what's Ciel”? Liz immediately comes to Luciel's aid after defeating the goblins who attacked him.

“Only minor injuries,“ replied Luciel while showing the puncture scar in his hand.

Liz ran to help the wagon driver who was fighting with the rest of the attacking goblins. Luciel then applied the herbs to the wound in his hand.

“Thank you young girl,“ said the driver.

“No problem “ Liz then approached Luciel and said,

“Ciel I will help the Caravan Guards, they will not be able to withstand everything.“

Liz said that with a confident expression.

“But it is dangerous and if...“.

“I'll be close to the Caravan Guard don't worry.“ Liz cut it.

Luciel then saw Liz's red eyes that looked like a burning fire.

“Alright, be careful – heart,“ said Luciel.

“Oke.“ Liz smiled and ran to the 3rd Caravan Guard against the 8 goblins.

Liz naturally slashed the goblins surrounding the Caravan Guards and easily killed 2 goblins. ‘ as I expected Liz should be the same age as me, but he easily defeated the goblins and looked adept at using a sword large enough for a body of his size, did Liz have Talent as Sword Master?’

Ludwig POV

Ludwig and his 3 comrades were extremely exhausted after fighting with many goblins.

“Hosh... hosh..., they are endless,“ Ludwig complained.

“You have to practice again to improve your stamina,“ said Ernest.

Vice Captain Ernest against 4 goblins, while Ludwig and one partner each – against 2 goblins. 2 goblins in front of him then advance simultaneously attacking Ludwig, and then attack, unlike the previous one this time the goblin he faced was almost the same size as an adult human and wore protective clothing and weapons, making it difficult for Ludwig to kill him.

...Author Note: Goblin Illustration...

Clangs! Clangs! Ludwig fended off the goblin spear that tried to stab him. Then when he will launch a goblin counterattack using a sword will try to attack him so that it is difficult for Ludwig to defeat them ‘ goblins are experienced against humans. ‘

“Sial“ both goblins attack Ludwig with the same pattern. ‘ if it continues like this then I first will start to fatigue ‘. Ludwig then prepared a horse – horses. The technique he was going to use was one of the techniques used by the royal knights and Ludwig trained daily with Captain Roland to prepare for when these conditions occurred.

“Grhhhhaahrrrrrrr “ Goblin spear tries to stab towards Ludwig's heart and the sword goblin behind him prepares to slash at Ludwig as he fends off or avoids the spear goblin's puncture.

But the spear goblin arrived – arrived surprised when Ludwig was quickly beside him and the sword goblin behind him was surprised because – arrived Ludwig appeared in front of him preparing to slash.

“ Die kauuu!“ Ludwig then slashed the head of the shocked sword goblin and prepared to turn around to launch his follow-up attack on the spear Goblin. The spear goblin raised its weapon to resist Ludwig's slash.

“Rageeeeeee!! “ Ludwig shouted the name of his sword technique then slashed his sword vertically.

“bruuggghhhh “ Ludwig's slash broke the goblin's spear and slashed his sword into the goblin's head.

“hosh hosh Ludwig was extremely exhausted after putting out his 2 mainstay techniques.

"Ludwig, watch out!” Ludwig looked back and saw the goblin jumping at him holding a knife.

“Splurrttt!!“ Then Ludwig was surprised to see the goblin that jumped towards him split into two parts.

“Thank you,“ Ludwig was surprised the person who helped him was the girl he met this morning.

No linger – long Liz also ran and helped the other Caravan Guards are fighting goblins.
