30 minutes walking deeper into the forest.
I could hear noises and cries coming from deep within.
"Stop! Sergeant Wayne's squad will take the right. Leading Private Tony's squad will take the left. Then Corporal Mirko's squad will take the center with me. Understood?"
Everyone nodded.
"Wayne's and Tony's squads, time your assault for five minutes after we start moving."
With that said, I pulled out a tool the size of the palm of my hand. It was a magic tool to measure time.
"Then, commence mobilization!"
Wayne's and Tony's squads began moving.
In this world, one year is 360 days and 12 months; 30 days a month, 24 hours in a day, and 60 minutes in an hour.
By the way, according to the solar calendar, there were two moons.
There were no leap years.
The time magic tool was expensive; however, it was necessary for military purposes, so it was provided to squad leaders and above.
"Let's go."
Patrick addressed Corporal Mirko, who had short brown hair and blue eyes. He was about ten years older than Patrick. He was a slender, stern man. The other two also moved forward slowly and quietly.
In a slightly open area, five goblins were chomping on the belly of a fawn and devouring its entrails.
"Prepare the bows…"
Everyone quietly took up their bows.
It was a staple technique of goblin hunting.
"Release!"
With a whooshing sound, the arrows were released.
At about the same time, arrows were shot from the left and right.
Gugya
Gegeh
Pigya
Arrows stuck out of the three goblins.
It was not a fatal injury, so the goblins rolled around while moaning.
The remaining two looked up from the fawn's corpse and scampered around.
"Second volley, starting with those who are ready, fire in sequence!"
I ordered loudly so that the rest of the squad could hear.
With a swoosh, the arrows flew and hit the two goblins.
"Everyone, stay alert and go for the stab!
"Understood!"
"Yes!"
And from the trees, the squad members began to move.
Each of us switched from bow to spear and stabbed at the necks and hearts of the thrashing goblins.
Five goblins were completely silenced.
"Cut off their heads! If left unchecked, they'll turn into zombies! Just keep their noses as proof of subjugation!"
Wayne ordered his men.
Wayne and his men were still unaware that there was a creature watching the scene from further back.
