Day 2/3 before the goblin arrival and they were training endlessly. Their swordsmanship skill leveled up and Rein was more focused on planning inside his tent. He thought that just in case, he would have to step in.
Though the presence of a Hobgoblin Lord was possible. It played a role to their invasion to the human tribes. It have a skill Tactician and also Born Leader skill.
They would rally their tribes and then conquer their enemies one by one. To their knowledge, the human tribes were divided and they were easier to conquer as they were weaker when separated from the other tribes. They could be an open prey for the goblins.
And so, Rein thought that he would unite the tribes. And made them into his vassals.
Then the day has arrived where they would face the goblins. Rein could not sleep at all.
Day 3/3 they were all prepared to face them. They brandished and sharpened their swords and luckily there's sharpening stones available. They had to share it with others and the swords were sharpened. They immediately gave it to the captains and the rest were just clubs wielded as swords. They just imagine that it was a sword at the moment.
Then at the rising of the sun, they all were on standby. They looked at the peak of the hills and they saw the goblins moving from afar. The wind was cold and they were in chilly clothing. They all went up early to prepare for the warfare.
The goblins then were shrieking and yelping in excitement. They saw that the villagers were too few for them.
The goblins were in high morale and they were looking down on humans as they outnumbered them.
They licked their weapons and glared at them with great malice... they were imagining all sorts of torture to them and shrieked and yelped as they were excited.
On the contrary, the villagers were silent and were just nonchalant. They thought they were outnumbered.....but still, they were calm.....
They were just whispering to each other and wanted to surprise the goblins out.
Also, they were hiding their true strength and bait the goblins that they were weak puny villagers.
Some of them even dramatized that they were helpless...
Help! Oh no! We are outnumbered! We need to surrender!
We are doomed!
We can't beat them all!
Then the goblins yelped and were in glee.
They thought that they would beat them in no time. Then, the villagers all smirked shyly. The enemies fell for it...they were low key this time around.
Rein then immediately watched what the outcome would be. He immediately grabbed his sword and then went to find the Hobgoblin Lord. It was his target nonetheless.
It was then, the Hobgoblin yelled to attack. Soon after, the goblins then dashed towards them. The villagers watched them all jeered excitedly. They were on hold and standby. Their Captain then was looking at the situation and were ready.
"Hold it....." He said.
The enemies then attacked and they nonchalantly held strong. They all attacked and then in the nick of time where the enemies were about to clash, the captain then shouted.
"Now!" He kicked the first goblin to arrive to their formation and then they attacked and retaliated.
Bang! Boom!
The goblins were thrown upwards. The ones that were kicked was thrown to their comrades and they obliterated the line of their flight path. All that arrived to their formation was either thrown or was cut.
They immediately went chaotic and the villagers attacked without restraint. They all decimated them like harvesting and reaping wheat.
They made use of their strengths and speed...the village elder was too op and others too.....they soloed the Hobgoblins and then obliterated them with only their fists.
They punched them and they were thrown apart. They smashed the elders with their heavy clubs but it just smacked them like a light weight paper. They gripped the weapons and crumpled them into bits. Making the Hobgoblins' clubs into useless weapons.
They smashed goblins to bits, their speed were unmatched and strength uncontrollable.
Even outnumbered, they managed to obliterate them. They faced on the hills and the wind was blowing hard.
The Hobgoblin Lord was looking at them. Then he faced the other villagers and he used an axe. He then faced Kenny and then he slashed his sword at him. But it was repelled and Kenny was thrown.
The others were alarmed and then Rein stood up. "Wait, he's mine,"
Rein will duel him and he was serious this time.

The other clones then retreated and the original held the Hobgoblin Lord with his sticky web and others attacked with fire elemental breath.

Then the Hobgoblin Lord became ashes. Making the villagers killed all the enemies. They all were ecstatic and felt the moment of victory. Though it was just for a moment, they all yelled and others followed suit. Lifting their weapons in the air and they rejoiced.
Then, after that, the border patrol attacked their camp nearby and they said that all of the goblins nearby were obliterated. Making their land goblin free at the moment. Though it would be for now, they relished the victory and temporary peace as they knew it was only short lived.
