Surviving in Another Dimension: I Can See Hints - Chapter 28
Then, Gurud continued, “We fought them. However, the disparity in our combat ability is truly too great. Our clansmen suffered heavy casualties.”
The young Gurul spoke, “Therefore, we wish for you to protect us.”
You want to borrow my power?
Wang Jue thought to himself and said, “But this time, I only brought a portion of my soldiers with me. Furthermore, my territory is almost 200 miles away, so I can’t stay here for long. I’m afraid I can’t protect you for a long time either.”
The old and the young looked at each other as if they had made a major decision.
Gurud said, “Honorable Powerhouse, as long as you can protect us from harm, we are willing to serve you, wherever you need us.”
Wang Jue pondered for a moment after hearing that. This was an opportune moment for Wang Jue to infiltrate the natives of this world.
However, these Goblins were too weak and were too far away from his territory. Wang Jue was worried that they were too out of reach.
[You can try to build a structure in the wild here, a teleportation tower, and make this place your subsidiary territory.]
Can this be done? The hint really came at the perfect time.
Wang Jue then nodded in agreement.
The two were overjoyed.
Then, they began to tell their whole story.
According to the Village Chief’s description, a group of wolf-shaped creatures, the Fanged Wolves attacked the village from the east. Many Goblins died in battle.
Initially, ten Goblins might not even win against one Fanged Wolf. The difference in strength between the two parties was huge. It was said that there was a Guardian-like warrior with the Goblins previously, but this warrior had also died in battle, and the village was facing a crisis.
Wang Jue asked for the number of Fanged Wolves.
“There are around a hundred of them in total.”
“We have a total of 60 people who can fight, including the females.”
What a despairing difference in combat strength, Wang Jue thought.
“The information of the Fanged Wolves was obtained by the warrior who had died in battle. He is also my eldest son, his older brother.”
At this point, the Village Chief, Gurud, could not help but glance at his youngest son, Gurul. Both of their gazes were filled with sorrow.
Wang Jue fell silent.
A world where the strong ruled over the weak was just this cruel.
“Village Chief, I want to confirm something.”
“Tell me, Sir.”
“I want to know, if I help your village, what will I get in return? What can you give me?”
Gurud’s shoulders shook. He was silent for a moment, then he knelt down shakily and said,
“I—we will offer our loyalty.
“Please protect us. We will pledge our loyalty to you.”
Gurul also knelt down.
“We swear.”
The Goblins outside the tent were confused and hopeful. Listening to the conversation in the tent, they fell silent.
But no one made a sound.
Right then, wolf howls came from outside the village.
“Aah ooh…”
“It’s the Fanged Wolves.”
“This is bad, this is bad.”
“It’s over. We’re going to be eaten.”
The Goblins outside panicked when they heard the howls of the Fanged Wolves
Gurud’s expression changed drastically as he hurried out to comfort his clansmen.
“Everyone, calm down. Don’t panic.”
Wang Jue and Quina walked out of the tent and looked at the despairing crowd.
“There’s no need to be afraid. I’ve already promised your village to protect you.
“They are merely enemies that are about to be defeated.”
Gurud looked at Wang Jue in surprise and asked agitatedly, “You, you mean?”
“I agree to your request, I will protect you and your people.”
All the Goblins were overjoyed when they heard that. Hope slowly grew in their eyes.
Although Wang Jue might face greater difficulties protecting these weak Goblins, it was also a cause and effect. If he hadn’t obtained the recommendation letter by chance, he wouldn’t have come here.
Since I am already here, let’s do something.
Besides, Wang Jue felt that Carl seemed to be hiding something from him. It was probably because of these Goblins.
However, Carl’s loyalty did not decrease, which was why Wang Jue did not take the initiative to ask for the reason.
Everyone had their own secrets, even if he was his subordinate.
Thus, Wang Jue became the master and guardian of the Goblin Village.
Then, Wang Jue focused his attention and looked outside the village.
[There is a group of Fanged Wolves 500 meters ahead. Their teeth and claws are their weapons. They are currently sending out a deterrence signal. Danger level is zero.]
Wang Jue was a little speechless. Just the deterring howls are enough to make this group of people panic? It seems that they have indeed been dominated by fear.
He looked at the Goblins who were wide-eyed. They were thin and weak, and their clothes and weapons were tattered and broken.
From the looks of it, he could no longer count on them to fight the Fanged Wolves.
Although Wang Jue’s soldiers could help them resolve the crisis, they had to face some things by themselves.
“Everyone, have you understood the current situation?”
Wang Jue asked loudly.
“Yes, we’re prepared for the worst. We know this is a fight to the death.”
It was Gurul who spoke.
Unexpectedly, despite his small stature, he had a backbone and was a potential talent that could be nurtured.
Wang Jue made a mental note.
When the other Goblins saw that they had a leader, they cheered up and agreed collectively.
“Don’t worry, relax. Just do your best.”
Wang Jue was greatly relieved when he saw the fearless looks in front of him.
They were currently weak, but fortunately, they were not weaklings.
The surrounding people seemed to have been infected by Wang Jue’s confidence and hope appeared in their eyes.
Wang Jue said, “Let me check on the wounded first.”
Gurul led Wang Jue to another tent.
When they walked in, there were about 16 injured people, men, women, old, and young. They were lying on straw mats with bandages all over their bodies.
The situation was not optimistic.
“The wounds are deeper than I thought. Were they cut by claws and teeth?”
Wang Jue took a closer look. Although the wounds were severe, they weren’t fatal.
He took out a bottle containing 60 ml of spiritual spring water and fed it to the wounded Goblin in front of him.
His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and his breathing had also stabilized. He slowly opened his eyes, still confused about how he had recovered.
The Village Chief and Gurul had never seen such a magical potion. They knelt down and shouted,
“As expected of Lord Wang Jue.”
Wang Jue didn’t say anything. Instead, he handed the potion to Gurul and asked him to feed them to everyone and save the wounded.
In the beginning, he only wanted to test if this potion would work on the aborigines.
As it turned out, the results were surprisingly good.
“The wounded have been treated, so…”
Wang Jue said to Gurud, “Next, we will repair the fences and strengthen the village’s defenses..”
