When I Reincarnated I Was a Soldier?!
The Man Known as The Red Grim Reaper

[←Prev. Chapter] [Index] [Next Chapter→]
Goblins were bipedal monsters at the bottom of the pyramid.
So to speak, they were the ones on the being hunted side.
Above them were other bipedal monsters such as Orcs, Ogres, Trolls, and Cyclopes.
Out of those, the monsters that preyed on goblins were:
Orcs and...
There was a crunching sound of wood breaking.
Wayne turned around in a hurry.
"T-Trolls…!? Why are they here?"
Trolls.
They were about four meters tall and very strong.
However, they possessed low intelligence and lacked agility.
"Everyone! Prepare for battle! Draw your bows! Shoot at your own discretion!"
At Patrick's command, everyone readied their bows and fired their arrows.
A handful of arrows pierced the skin, but they failed to inflict fatal wounds.
The troll was slowly approaching.
"Keep shooting!"
The flying arrows pierced the troll's belly, but due to the thick subcutaneous fat, they did not reach the internal organs.
"All troops, ready your spears!"
They threw away their bow and readied their spear.
Apparently, the troll felt that Wayne was the strongest and set his sights on him. The troll walked closer and closer towards Wayne.
In the troll's right hand, he was holding a log that he seemed to have picked up along the way.
Boom!
The log was swung around noisily.
Wayne dodged and thrusted out his spear.
It pierced a few centimeters, but when Wayne tried to pull it away, the spear wouldn’t budge. The troll swung the log without regard.
Wayne released the spear from his hand to dodge the log.
The other members of the team thrusted their spears in the opening, but they only pierced a few millimeters.
Was it the difference in weapons and skill?
Wayne gave up on his spear and readied his two-handed sword.
He fended off the swinging log with his sword and then swung it with all his might at the troll's belly.
He slashed in a few centimeters of belly fat, but the troll lunged at him while grunting.
"Wayne! Duck!"
At the sound of Patrick's voice, Wayne quickly crouched down. Then Patrick, holding his spear at his waist, rushed forward.
Patrick's spear pierced the wound on the troll's belly that Wayne had slashed open.
Higyaaaa
The troll screamed out in pain.
Wayne, who was crouching between the troll and Patrick, grabbed Patrick's spear and drove it deep into the troll's abdomen with all his strength.
The troll screamed even louder, and as he raised his jaw, Wayne thrusted his two-handed sword up to his throat.
With a whooshing sound, Patrick and Wayne were turned red from the large amount of blood pouring down on them.
Then, slowly, the troll fell backwards.
"Tony, cut the troll's head off."
Patrick ordered in a tired voice.
