Chapter 235.3: (Heinrich’s POV) Urgent Report
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
“Now then, let’s go hunt some monsters before I stop by Keigo’s house.”
Among those people that had been looking down on me, I was sure some of them still thought of me as merely a young and weak nobleman who still remained ignorant of the ways of the world. It was time for me to show them the ability of an adventurer that had reached Noble Iron Class. If I could defeat a hellhound of two in the forest, they wouldn’t have any choice but to admit I was a pretty good adventurer.
And so I decided to hunt in the forest, south from Resta while feeling all jovial and warm on the inside.
Upon reaching the forest, I found the forest to be unusually quiet. I couldn’t even hear the sound of small animals or birds.
“…..Let’s try to go deeper into the forest.”
For some reason, I was feeling strangely uneasy. So I decided to investigate further into the woods.
As I ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, gradually, the ominous presence began to pervade in the air.
I smeared my body with leaves and mud to eliminate my scent and silently traced the source of the ominous presence. There, the identity of that presence was finally revealed.
“That’s… A Kobold King!! Furthermore, what’s with their numbers?!”
I stifled my gasp, trying to conceal my shock at the discovery. A large number of monsters were gathered around the presence of Kobold King, the highest ranking of kobold species. Looking around, there must be at least 400 to 500 of them.
The leader of the horde, the Kobold King, was mounted on a lizard-like monster, an Armored Lizard. With a gigantic battle axe in one hand, the Kobold King lorded over his army.
“I’ve never heard of a Kobold King leading over other species as well.”
Within the horde, I saw another high ranking species of Kobold Fighter, a Kobold Fighter Evilion, controlling over Cockatrices and Serpents. Low ranked goblins like ordinary goblins and Hobgoblins were also present within the horde. It seemed the Kobold King had gotten goblins under his command as well.
“This is bad. I need to inform the people in the town immediately.”
An ambush from that large number of monsters would be too much for the soldiers at Resta. They wouldn’t stand a chance.
Then all of a sudden, the Armored Lizard sniffed the air and roared towards me. At the same time, the Kobold Fighter Evilion shot arrows in rapid succession at me, who was hiding within the deep bush. The arrow passed right beside me and pierced deep into the tree trunk.
It all happened within a split second but my heart was thumping wildly, like a ringing alarm bell.
I was too panicked to remember what happened after that. I fled from the scene and by the time I realized it, I was running toward the south gate of Resta.

T/N: A kobold war?! Somehow kobolds don’t sound as scary because they have dog heads. Usually it’s Goblin King because goblins are more grotesque than dogs.
