Few days has passed after blessing ceremonial, resulted that my friends Anna, Belle, Stefana, Stefani and Especially Zack will go out tomorrow.
They're preparing everything before part away from this little settlement.
"I guest they've become a little bird who ready leave their nest huh" I thought while walk and look at the sky. 12 years has passed like a flash. I'm also thinking to leave from this village, but on different story from my friends.
I walk toward the gate. This time, I want to do some hunting again. But different from before, after I knew that I could take care an orc easily, I want to try raiding some monster settlement.
"You'll go out again?" Father asked to me after see me come closer to the gate.
"Yeah, probably I'll late today, I want to try fighting again after receive my blessing" I answered.
"Alright, be careful, your mother will afraid if you not come back after midnight" Father warned me.
"Okay…" With that I leave the village and go to raiding a monster settlement.
***
Settlement that I'll raid is goblin settlement, around 13 kilometers from village. Luckily, because I've support magic, I could enhanced my body and run to save my time.
On my way, like usually, I gathered some herbs and few edible plants, I'm also encountered some monster, but I just passed and keep forward to goblin settlement.
Until finally I arrived at settlement, around 120 meters from me, I could see a fortress like tribal village. With wooden fortress surround the settlement as a shield, and two watchtowers beside the fortress gate.
"Hmm… probably this is human settlement before, but due to left behind by human or raided by them, this fortress become their settlement" I though, after thinking is it possible for them to build something like this.
The gate who ruined only left behind in front of settlement and I could see some tents from this distance.
I activate [Hawkeye] to get more clearly view, I could see each watch tower has 2 goblins and few goblins that pass by inside the fortress.
"Alright, I'll take a shoot from here and move forward gradually" I planned my strategy.
Then I pull out my martini henry and Sauer M30 from my space magic, and also one box of .577/450 for my martini henry. I'm also not forget to raise a soil behind me to put ammo box and a wall with a little hole in front of me to give a comfort aim and shielding my body.
I strapped my M30 on my back and using martini henry to take a shot from here.
Loading my martini henry, and then take an aim from that hole.
I aimed to one of goblin from left watchtower first.
BANG
On bullet fly after I pulled the trigger. The lead bullet quickly fly and hit goblin head.
Without wasting much time, I quickly unload the casing and load with another ammo.
BANG BANG BANG
I keep repeated shot the goblin in watchtower until all of them dead. Every single bullet hit right in their head. Thanks for my [Hawkeye] and material in this world that gave more power for my firearms. I can gain perfect aim and powerful impact.
After I shot all the goblin inside the watchtower, weirdly I couldn't see another goblin come out from fortress, or go up to watchtower. They become silent, without any sign of life, as if they knew on attack but choose to hidden, waiting the attacker come first.
I activated my [Detection] all the settlement has on range and has covered with my [Detection] magic, I could sense their magic, there are around 50 dots on my radar, a sign that they still there.
"Are they this intelligence?" I thought for a little while. Guessing why they become silent suddenly after I killed their watcher.
I decided for wait a little while, and then after a little while one of them showed and go out from settlement.
I want to pull my trigger actually, he is a good prey for me, he's head on my aim, and my hand has wet with my sweat. Strangely, my intuition said to wait for a little while.
As I thought, after the first goblin looking around for a little while, he called their comrades, and then few of goblins, around 9 goblin show up from settlement.
"Okay, this is my chance" I said and quickly took around 3 bullets and put it between my left fingers. Aiming once again, and then pull the trigger.
BANG BANG BANG BANG
I repeated quickly shoot at them, because 3 bullets on my left hand, I save my reload time around 2 seconds, and resulting 4 goblins has killed only 10 seconds.
Left 6 goblins at the front gate, I repeated from what I did before. Took again some bullets for my left fingers and loaded one ammo inside chamber and fire again.
BANG BANG BANG BANG
4 goblins has collapse without head left. All of them crushed with a fast lead projectile, only left whole body without head.
Only two goblin left, and this time, they already knew where am I, after watch 8 projectile directions that hit every single their comrades, they knew where am I.
I only load another bullet calmly, because they need time to run for 100 meters to me, I've more time to reload.
BANG
After I pull the trigger once again, one goblin has down, left only one, who has rush to me before, has stopped after look at their fallen comrades.
Feeling close to death, the last goblin choose to run, I loaded with another bullet and aiming again.
I hold up my aim, let the goblin run away at first. Until that goblin has pass the gate, I pull the trigger.
BANG
The bullet flied quickly to goblin head. Right one step pass the gate, the bullet hit his head, Crush his skull, follow his fellow comrades like before.
***
After 10 goblins who went out has down, I try to scan again surrounding area once again.
"Left around 36 dots left, meaning there are around 36 goblins, hope there aren't any civilians" I thought.
This time, I decided to attacking, put my martini henry on my Space Magic and unstrapped my Sauer M30.
"Alright, this is probably enough" after checked again, I bought around 15 bullets 12 slug gauge, 15 bullets 12 gauge buckshot type and 15 bullets .375 on my pouch.
Then I go forward cautiously because there are still 36 left.
After 50 meters has walked to the settlement, I can feel that they take a move.
GHRAAAAA?!
Around 20 goblins shouted an rushed forward to me, all of them only low class type monster.
Ready to shoot, I aim at the nearest goblin and pull the trigger.
BANG BANG
Spill out my 12 gauges, both this ammo has more power even on this distance, not only gave a big hole on the goblin, but also pierced through the other goblin. Total with only two bullet has killed 6 goblins at once.
"Whoa… I think that's to much only for goblin" I thought.
I change unload my barrel and this time, I fill it with 12 gauge buckshot type. Then take aim and pull the trigger.
BANG BANG
This time, it gave quite a big impact. Because buckshot has a good spread and the power of impact from rifle, plus the goblin body that weak, buckshot ammo could shuffle their attack formation, and from 14 goblins, only with two shot could take down around 10 goblins with all his limbs break apart.
"And… this is will be a mess" I thought, with a blood and body parts scattered around, made a disturb view that could make people vomit after look at this.
Then the rest of 4 goblins run away once again.
BANG
I pull the trigger once again at them and made their limbs scatter around. Luckily they run away at one way to the settlement so I could take them with only one bullet.
After a while, I walk again, to the settlement cautiously.
20 goblins has down, left around 16 goblin keep hidden on the settlement.
BOOM
Suddenly an [Fireball] try towards me and I quickly evade the incoming attack. Honestly, that's quite a big spell for a goblin.
GRUHAAAA
One goblin show up, he use a torn black robe and a wooden staff, goblin shaman.
Then followed by other 5 goblins shaman and another 5 goblins, with a unsheathed rust long sword and wear thin iron armor, goblin warrior.
Without wasting much time, I pull the trigger once again and shoot at the crowd.
BANG BANG
Still gave quite a big impact, but only take down 4 goblin warrior, left 6 goblins only receive little scratched.
GRUAAAAAA?!
The last goblin warrior shouted a war cry, followed by the shamans who chant a spell, the goblin warrior rushed towards me.
I slide my selector to .375 barrel, take aim once again and pull the trigger.
This time, it keep piercing goblin warrior, and even killed one shaman behind him. Left 4 goblins.
I hurried up reload again my 12 gauge barrel, but alas, the has finished their chant and send their [Fireball] to me.
There are 4 [Fireballs] rushed towards me, I clicked my barrel, and run to avoid the incoming attack.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
A Barrage fireballs bombards to me. I run as I could, luckily I can avoid it without receiving any damage.
Loaded complete, I slide back to 12 gauge barrel and take a shoot.
BANG BANG
I pull the trigger, dozens of pellets fly away from my barrel and scattered easily shaman limbs. Resulting all of them has dead with only two buckshot.
"Phew, that's quite narrow honestly" I said after avoid fireball barrage and quickly took a shot.
GUUUUAAAAAAH?!
There are a shouted war cry again. I think their boss has show up.
BIG BIG BIG BIG
Every step could heard by me. I think their boss isn't only a name.
CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK
This time, I could heard some iron plate that collide each other.
Then, the remains three goblins has show up, with an 4 goblins wear a thick iron armor cover up their body include their head and quite a decent sword. They are a goblin knight.
The last one, has a tall body, with a thickest iron plate than other, covered his stomach and chest, and equipped with a greatsword that he bought.
"I think this is the last battle huh" I said. Then I reloaded again all the barrel, and close again the barrel.
