This really takes a toll on my body. It just like Aya said... I've only just returned today and now I agreed to help these humans. Ah... and earlier I said to Godin that I would only just watch them, but I promised to that Prince Wallen to rescuing them... so it cant be helped, I will help them.

Right after I out from the forest, I finally arrive at the Svvalis area. I found the empty bottles are scattering all over the place, sign that those humans were here before.

My prediction was right, and it's not that they run all the time with those heavy armours, so they might marching with calm to preserve their stamina from wasting... so to calculate their journey to the Janjar's nest from here... around twenty minutes I guess.

But with my speed, I can arrive in five minutes or less. I began to dash right after I drink one of the lying bottles.

It's not like I worried about them, but I more worried about the promise I made with Prince Wallen. If I can't keep my word on it, then my reputation will be tarnish. I speed up my legs and run with haste.

Boom!! [sound of explosion]

I heard an explosion not far from my place. The war must have started at that place. I continue running with my sword that already out from its sheath.

The moment I arrive in the middle of thick forest, a feeling of shocked cannot be prevented from my face. The goblins are suppressing the human army. They attacked with a perfect sync... the bigger one act as the decoy and the small one will harm them little by little. If they started to focus the small one, the big one will finish them with one swoop.

Not to mention that the goblin archers are all over the trees, firing non-stop with accurately... and the shaman keep casting a spell that can cause one to feel dizzy and lost focus.

And the goblin champion went on berserk, crushing those humans without hold back. The one who put a good fight with them was the purple knight and his personal army. But where is the royal knight?

I barge in that battle with cutting the goblins that all on my way. Then the big one approaches me by swing his big bat, but I only just stand still while cutting all the small one. And here I thought that I would be flying by that swing, but it's the opposite... the bat was shattered.

I jump over his head and hammer down my blade from the top of this head, slice down with ease. I notice that the human was watching me, but I ignored those stare...

I continue to display my swordsmanship with swiftly, cutting and piercing all the goblin that I can reach. Not that to show off, but to make things under control. Seriously, you human need to improve yourself!

"It's the grand knight!" I heard they mention my title, so I glare a bit... it was the purple knight's soldier

"The grand knight? as the one who slew the demon general? that's him?

"But that just a kid... he looks at the same age as my son!"

"Its true, I was in his camp. Look at his swordsmanship... he kills that big goblin with ease!"

In order to bring back their morale to the top condition, I must bring down the enemies as fast as I could, and reach to that purple guy to ask the situation.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

But if I have to say, with Janjar acts as the brain... the goblins horde assault become more discipline.

In order to become the centre of this war, I have to pull all the attention to me... by slaying all the goblin champion. But the most crucial task to do is...

"Archers, aim the goblins that on the tree!"

"R-right!"

But before we even have to react, one small group of goblins has appeared and disturbing the archers from doing they aiming.

Tch, Janjar has noticed it. I forgot that he too can understand human language perfectly. But with this chaotic situation, there's no way that he can detect our voice with this all screaming and the sound of those swords clashing... unless he...

"You guys, form a small group and cover each other behind! in this thick forest with a narrow space, we can't use the formation tactic. Each group must at least 5 or less...!"

Just about we reform our group, the big goblins have formed and run crashing all the small group strongly. Abruptly, more than half of goblin archers have shot at me, luckily, my sense has warned me from being careless.

Damn it, Janjar! his thinking was two-step forward from mine! the goblins champion approaches me with their axe in their hand... gaze at me with an insulting eye.

If not because of those archers that keep firing at me, I can easily kill these goblin champion. I have moved twice faster than usual to evade those arrows or those swings.

Before I noticed it, even the big goblins have entered this battle of mine. Now it's triple the trouble. Geh, all I did now is rolling and evade those attacks... the moment I stop, those arrows will land on my head, those archers really have trained well.

"My my, is this the famous human that killing the demon general?" a voice sound vague from the surrounding

"How do you like my soldier? pretty hard to deal with them, no? kakaka"

I glare at those human, their number decreases rapidly. And I haven't seen any royal guard anywhere... is they are not participants in this war?

"ANSWER ME, HUMAN!" a sudden knife came at me with speed, pass through me. I manage to dodge it, but it succeeds cause a small cut on my cheek.

Before I notice it, my mind begins to sway. Is it because of that dagger? no... I feel there's more to it, I know that dagger must have a poison on it. I notice that not far from me, there are three shamans that casting a spell and aiming their staff at me. A three spell combine with this poison from the dagger... a fine effect to numb my awareness

"Where are you!?" I can't feel his presence or his mana because of this spell. In fact, I can't even detect him from the moment I enter this battle. He conceals his presence with perfect.

One swing of bat has struck from behind, and I flew with fast and hit the tree with a strong impact. Normally, I can dodge it, but with the current of me right now... even to stand straight is much hard of the task, although that attack didn't harm me in any way.

"I'm right here, grand knight~"

A goblin figure appears in front of me, wearing a leather armour for an easy movement, holding a short blade on his hand. It's Janjar.

"Oh...you're still alive. I applause for you to hold this much longer. You're strong for a normal human. As a gift for your last memories in this world, I will let you know that this great being standing in front of you is the mighty Janjar"

"You're... coward. Only showing your face when your enemy becomes weak..."

"Kakaka, there's no word of a coward in strategy and preparation. Only careful and cautious is the right choice of words here."

He suddenly grabs my hair with violent and showing me to the battle scene. The killing was really on one-side for human, as the odds favour the goblins

"Look carefully, o great grand knight. This is what will happen when you human being too conceited with just a small victory. If I were you guys, I would stay silent in the village and became more obedient after that victory"

"That's..."

"To tell you the truth, we demon, not feel a loss from his death. To be precise, we couldn't care less about him to begin with... he's not that important, he could be replaced any time" he whispering at me

"But I feel sorry for the best friend of mine, Sheron Hunr... or known as the name of Sealgair by you human. Because he's so anticipated to hunt you, but I guess he can't after I sending your head to him" The goblin champions is approaching me while ready to hammer their axe

I cannot understand a word, but I think that Janjar has ordered them to let him do the honour of killing me while those goblin champions went on other human

"I think its time, O grand knight" he begins to raise his hand in mid-air, holding the short sword with a strong looking position
