The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

hink that there was Master-class Knight with them.
A Master-class Knight was the ace of every country so, what were they doing in this kind of place?

’Damn that old elf.
Did he really need to say that we ’re Master-class Knight loud? ’ Souta said inwardly.

Soon, the city lord appeared before Souta ’s group.
They couldn ’t ask Souta to come from their place as they know the status of a Master-class Knight was higher.
If they had something to say to Souta, they were the ones who will come to him.

Souta, Lydia, and Isabella looked at the group of people that was approaching them.
They heard that the one in front was the city lord of this city.

A city lord didn ’t retreat.
He had to protect this place and buy some time for his citizen to escape with his soldiers.

The city lord and his subordinates bowed in front of Souta ’s group as a sign of respect and introduced themselves.

”I ’m Dino Fedora, the lord of the Riverpool City.
It ’s my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet the Master-class Knight. ” The city lord who looked like he was in his thirties said politely.

”Good.
So why are you here? ” Souta nodded and asked the man.

Lydia and Isabella didn ’t say anything as they simply watch the city lord.
Lydia could already guess what they want from them considering what ’s going to happen tomorrow.

”I ’m here to humbly ask you to help us protect this city.
I don ’t have anything left to give you.
I just wanted to buy some time for my citizen to escape from their fate. ” Dino kneeled in front of Souta and said sincerely.
He placed his forehead on the ground and when he didn ’t hear any reply from Souta he opened his mouth, ”You just defeat some of the enemies and escape.
It will help us a lot.
I ’m sure that with your strength you can escape from them. ”

Dino ’s subordinates who were beside him also kneeled on the ground.

”Sir, please lend us a little bit of your strength! ”

”Please!! For our people! ”

They begged Souta with a sincere expression.
They were afraid of their enemies but they were much more afraid to imagine what will happen to their family if the enemy arrived here.

”What are you going to do? ” Lydia went closer to Souta and asked him in a low voice.

Souta stayed silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and asked, ”How many enemies are approaching? ”

Dino lifted his head and looked at Souta before he answered him, ”From the information that we ’ve gathered.
There are ten thousand enemies that are heading in this city.
Our forces only consisted of five thousand trained soldiers and one thousand volunteers who didn ’t know how to fight. ”

”So you ’re basically outnumbered, ” Souta said and Dino nodded at him.

”Yes, not just that.
I ’m not gonna lie to you.
Aside from the number the enemy ’s strength is stronger than us.
Each one of them possessed the might of five soldiers. ” Dino said to Souta in a grave tone.
He didn ’t dare to lie in front of Master-class Knight.
Also, Souta would find it sooner or later that the enemy possessed great might.

”Okay.
I ’m going to help you.
Since we ’re going to Condifan Empire, I don ’t mind cleaning some of those dregs to test how they would fare. ” Souta said to Dino as he patted his shoulder.

”…eh…
really?! ” Dino and his subordinates were stunned.
They didn ’t think that Souta would agree to them.
After they come to their senses, all of them thanked Souta.
The people who were watching the scene also bowed down and thanked him.

”Thank you!! ”

”We appreciate your help!! ”

”Thank you very much, sir!! ”

All the people bowed their heads towards Souta, Lydia, and Isabella.
They were grateful that Souta accepted to help them.

Souta ignored them as he looked at the notification that he received.

*Ding!*

’I know what you ’re thinking. ’ Saya ’s voice sounded in his mind.

’Hehe, ten thousand enemies is equal to ten thousand souls.

’It ’s time to devour the souls of those people. ’
