The Subjugation was divided into 2 groups, one led by Captain Carell along with rest of the hunter's to attack the goblin camp and other consisting of Five Elite hunter's dealing with the goblin Shaman.
"This is the cave where traces of shamanic rituals were found, the scouts didn't venture deep so rest is up to us." One of the hunter suggested.
The hunter's were nervous including Samuel ,as what man fears the most is the unknown. And what was Infront if the was an unknown place resided by an unknown entity.
After they entered the cave there was a streak of silence , as they ventured deeper , uncomfortable silence continued.
"Maybe they already left this place" One of the hunter's murmured.
Just as those words left from his mouth,entire cave was filled with an eerie of laughter.
"Keeekkkeeeekee"
"Goblin's are here let's charge in " One of the hunter's exclaimed.
Samuel gripped his sword and dashed in along with others towards the direction, those laughing noise came from.
"What? What the hell am I seeing. " Hunter's exclaimed.
Even Samuel was shocked watching the bizarre scene in front of him.
There were roughly around 30 goblins in front of them. These numbers weren't that big of a deal for any of them, but the bizarre thing was each of them were properly divided into five groups and each group was leaded by a elite Goblin.
They maintained there formation even after noticing Samuel and the rest of the hunter's, they remained in there position as if waiting for someone's orders.
"Keeeek"
A sudden loud sound echoed all over the cave, and the goblins who maintained there formation charged straight towards the group from all directions.
" Let's create a formation of our own, everyone form a circle"
One of the hunter yelled, as Samuel remembered he was the oldest all well as the most experienced among the group.
The hunter's formed a circle and started dealing with the barrage of constant assaults of goblins from various different directions.
It would have taken literally no effort dealing with this small hoarde, but this hoarde of goblins were too organised , who attacked and retreated and changing there positions from various directions.
"Since when did dealing it these few petty goblin's became so bothersome." one of the hunter growled as he cleaved an elite goblin's head off.
It took about more than an hour to deal with the group, but in return everyone of them was downright exhausted , to the point they could barely stand, with injuries all over there body.
Even Samuel got multiple scar wounds all over his back and a few cuts around his legs, but fortunately nothing was that serious.
As everyone was exhausted and sat down on the ground to take a breath . A loud noise of footsteps from deeper part of the cave entered their ears.
"Keeewkk"
Hunter's felt their heart went cold as they though
'Is this where I die ?, Who would have though after everything I went through I would sucumm to mere goblins'. Everyone has a similar thought in their mind.
But contrary to there expectation what greeted them wasn't another hoarde of goblins but a single one. But that single entity gave them more dread compared to the entire army they just faced.
'This! This! isn't this a goblin general " One of the hunter's cried out.
"So this bastard was the reason why those goblins were so organised. Don't tell me he was waiting for us to be exhausted ,so he could deal with all of us at once."
Everyone had the general idea of what just happened, but it didn't change anything , if it was another hoarde of goblins, they might have forced there way out , but now how could they possibly force themselves out if the person blocking them was multiple times stronger than them and especially given their current state.
Goblin General was around 2 meters tall, with a Bulky Physic and a large metal armour around his chest while carrying a large axe about half his size.
Besides him there was a small figure, his appearance was no different than rest of the goblins, but he was wielding a staff and was covered with strange marks all over his face.
While looking at the exhausted appearance of the hunter's who came to take him down, he made a mocking face while pointing towards them , giving the goblin general a command to kill them all.
"Keeewkk" goblin general dashed straight towards them as he held his axe high to cleave all those hunter's in half.
Hunter's closed there eyes,waiting for there predetermined fate ,but rather than there head getting severed off as they expected, they heard the goblin general making a painful noise, with a wound around his thigh.
And in front of him was a young man roughly around 15 years of age standing unfazed even in front an opponent for superior to him. as he murmured
"tsk, I did a surprise attack to take one of his limbs of,but he still managed to react"
Samuel grumbled as he coldly stared at the goblin general in front of him.
Samuel knew this being in front of him is superior to him when it comes to strength,speed and even durability.
But he couldn't just give up after all he went through. If he was really fated to die here than he would rather die as a martyr than a dog.
And it seems his decision was right, After the earlier exchange Samuel concluded ' It doesn't seem have to much experience '.
If he really charged towards a 'Five Star' entity and it noticed him, the Samuel would have already left for his journey to the underworld.
' It's like a newborn baby, but a baby that could kill me in a single strike' Samuel concluded and let out a chuckle, before dashing straight towards the Goblin general.
