Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats - Chapter 179: Shin The Sneaky: War Since The First Day

“Yaaa!”

All the goblins had formed lines and were standing like soldiers that would stand in an army.

Earlier, they only knew to band together and nothing else. Just by seeing this, Shin could tell that they had improved a lot.

He had decided not to give too much since he only knew them for a few days. Plus, he only wanted their help at the moment.

Although he showed it as if he was helping them, he was the one that was in need.

Without them, he couldn’t possibly wage the war and without them the chances of his victory seemed quite less.

So it was inevitable. Whatever, just by naming them, he would give them the necessary boost that is required to win the war.

“In total, I will be naming 8 goblins apart from the trainers.”

When he mentioned that, the heart of the goblins started to throb. Now the number was limited which meant that out of all the five thousand goblins, only eight would be able to be named.

Sometimes naming causes evolution while sometimes it just boosts their power. In any case, there will be some changes that would be observable, and no matter how feeble that change might be, it would be useful in some or the other case.

Also, the goblins were delighted because Shin was going to name the trainers as well, that was what he meant when he said – ‘Apart from the trainers.’

Yes, they understood him properly.

“Master…”

All the goblin mages bowed in front of him and readied themselves to receive names. He could have just given names in secret or could have done them sometime later, but why did he choose to do this in front of everyone?

The answer is clear, it is to boost their morale as well as just show how amazing he was.

Shin started naming the goblin mages. He gave different names to each of them with almost entirely different words.

Only two of those names were to be noted – ‘Arzoo’ and ‘Mirza’ – which were the names of the goblin mages who met Shin the first and the one who contributed a lot respectively.

The name Arzoo means ‘Wish’ while the name Mirza means ‘Prince’.

Since Shin agreed and fulfilled one of the goblin mage’s wishes, he named his Arzoo. He was the first one that Shin had met.

For the second one, Shin named him Mirza (gender-neutral noun) because he felt a strong affinity for magic from him.

That was why he thought that it would be best to give him a boost to magic.

They were highly grateful to him. Consequently, Shin named other mages and then the elders who helped in training.

While one would think that it would be a waste to name the elders, Shin thought otherwise. By naming them, he proved that one could live longer.

Indeed, the ones that were sickly and were on the verge of death suddenly were full of vitality.

With this Shin proved that he would keep his promise. Now the army was ready. They had nothing to worry about since shin was leading them.

They were sure that they would win the war. Shin too thought the same, however, it wouldn’t be good to be full of confidence since even the system couldn’t possibly predict the future.

There were five more days left and shin thought that he would win the war in just four days. Thus, he took the chance to look at the area where they will fight of course, while laying the traps.

Land mines, pitfalls, fences, thorny plants including poisonous bugs, and weapons were all prepared while keeping careful observation on the quantity and quality.

Shin was away and in his stead other goblins were in charge of all these things. Goblin mages, goblin elders, and goblin hunters played a major role.

They were just waiting for Shin to return. Shin was away to give a warning to the kingdom of Loria. While the surprise attack had a high chance of success, it was basically stooping low.

While completing the mission was necessary, doing it in a cowardly way was more of ridicule.

Yes, this was the only reason why Shin went to announce the attack from the monsters. Of course, he had no way of directly conveying it to them.

He could surely speak the human tongue but by doing so, he would just attract more attention. While staying with a low profile was quite advantageous, a profile that would cause trouble would be bothersome.

‘Ding’

[ You have used the skill Dragon’s Roar ]

He used this skill just at the edge of the kingdom of Loria, just near its starting town. That would cause an uproar since encountering a dragon is no small thing at all.

The roar caused a large uproar. The dragon’s roar was a powerful skill that bewildered many and within a day, all the adventures from other towns or villages were called.

It was probably because all of them were curious about this roar.

Roaring just once or twice would be deemed as a lie to keep the citizen’s from panicking, however, if the roar continued daily, then what would the citizens do?

They had no choice but to send tons of adventures to the wild. Firstly, the ones who were sent were scouts to check the region accompanying them were low-level knights or adventurers who didn’t have the skill but were curious.

‘Dead’ – almost instantly all of them died after leaving the town.

Following them were other higher-class adventures who died instantly too. When none of them returned, the adventurers guild go worried.

Their population was already low on top of which, losing potential warriors would cause havoc. Thus, finally, it was concluded that sending a familiar or a summon would be the best choice.

‘No return’ – that was the status of any familiar that left the land of Loria and entered the barren lands.

“Just what the heck is going on!?”

Yes, it was Shin who was waging war and had started the war since day one! He did train the goblins for 5 days, but at the same time, dominated the kingdom with sneaky tricks!

“…”
