Kapitel 49: Camping At Thrine Forest Depth (I)
Thankfully, they possessed the spatial bag, so they could store more supplies without being burdened by the weight.
After having breakfast with the girls before telling the receptionist, and telling him to tell the head of the guild, they went into the depths of Thrine Forest.
While they don't go hunting every single monster, any that make it into their line of sight are obliterated instantly.
Not stopping for breaks, they arrive at the previous camp in less than 2 hours. Though, it is no longer in ruin.
"Looks like the goblin decide to claim back this piece of land," Ian exclaimed, before doing a headcount on the enemies.
"3 hobgoblins, 5 shamans, and maybe 80 or more regular goblins," Ian reported to Kell, who nodded.
"We can handle them easily but we want to conserve our energy, not fight goblins 24/7 and then faint from being tired," Kell said, remembering something Ian had been trying to frill into him for quite some time, namely, thinking ahead and realizing any actions have consequences.
"We can claim the camp, then build our line of defense. Besides, it's a good way to see how important this camp is and if we need to prevent them from claiming it back," Ian told him.
After a while, Kell soon agrees to take back the camp.
-x-
Taking back the camp will probably not change the number of monsters in the forest, but it will definitely affect the goblins under the chieftain.
After all, the camp is likely a staging ground for the goblins to launch their invasion, slowly conquering every corner of the forest, before attacking the town and destroying it.
So, getting a hold of one of the most important choke points in the forest will allow them the strength to control the forest and cause them more disadvantages.
However, to do so they need to conquer the place first, again. Thankfully, they decided to be subtle a long time ago.
"Argh!"
"Rarrrhh!"
"Hurk!"
In 10 minutes, the 90-strong goblins have their life extinguished, allowing the teonadventurers to claim the camp, again.
"So, how are you going to make sure the place is safe for us?" Kell asked.
"Unfortunately, I cannot cast Mine or something like that. I can create magic traps using only mana but it is not that effective for me," Ian told him, who groaned slightly.
"But, I can make sure they will not be able to attack us in our sleep," Ian added, before casting more spells.
"So, are we going to check the deeper part of the forest or are we going to wait here for now,"
It did not take long before they both chose the same thing.
-x-
"Looks like the deeper we are, the stronger the goblins," Ian exclaimed, before blasting another goblin easily. While they can handle the goblins easily, not all adventures will be able to do the same.
After dealing with one of the goblins while seriously holding back, Kell agreed with him, saying that the goblins they are facing are equal to an untrained Lisa, at best. Which does not speak much except goblins are monsters that possess strength equal to slightly strong children.
For them to be now the strength of a regular man or woman, the strength increase is significant. Not to mention they somehow become smarter as well.
During their brief fight, the goblin had done a quick fake-out before trying to stab Kell, showing they could now do combat techniques.
"We will have to report this when we get back. For now, I will write what we find and send it in one of our carrier pigeons in the worst-case scenario," Ian told Kell before heading back to the camp to write the letter in question.
As for Kell, he decides to patrol the area and do a quick extermination. It might not do much in the grand scheme of things but he will definitely thin the number of monsters as much as he can.
-x-
"What are you doing?" Kell asked Ian, who is wide awake when he is not supposed to. He wonders if he needs to give him a choke hold until he sleeps (faint) when Ian opens his mouth.
"It is just hard to fall asleep in enemy territories,"
"Ah," yeah, Kell could understand why. After all, he is also the same. To think the reason for their restlessness is the same.
"So, what are you doing?" he had known the bespectacled boy and knew he had certain habits that usually help him to fall asleep.
"I am reading all my skills and talents and see if I can unlock them in the future. I also look at the Store to see what other magic books I should buy in the future," he told Kell, who nodded.
"I sometimes did the same. Trying to see if there are any books I should buy, or maybe see which skills should I try to learn without using the points.
It's a shame I forgot to buy a spear. Maybe I can try learning them while fighting all of these gob- where did you get that?!" Kell asked in shock, as Ian pulled out a spear out of the spatial bag.
"It's because I knew you would forget to buy a spear for your oaf. So, I get one of the better ones. You better make use of this and the Spear Manual you have bought from your system store," Ian told him before throwing the spear at him.
Kell caught it before doing some practice swings. He was about to ask more when he saw Ian sleeping already.
"Looks like I will have to ask him tomorrow," Kell decided before taking a shut-eye as well.
-x-
"Grargh!"
One of the hobgoblins roared at the camp, and the lesser goblins around it shifted nervously. As for the two people in the camp, they looked at the forces coming after them with slight boredom.
"Kell, let's see how good you are with that spear,"
"Huh! I almost thought you would never ask!"
"As for me, I will make sure the ones at the back will be destroyed even before you get near the frontline."
