Goblin Workshop In Me
Chapter 66

66 Advance

“Please sign here.”

The staff from the association handed him the documents. Ko Byeong-gap wrote down his name clearly and signed the forms.

“Since you are already familiar with it, I will not discuss the illegal distribution of firearms rule and the punishment associated with it.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

The employee gave an official answer and left. Byeong-gap looked happily at the forty gun cases piled up in the living room. He didn’t buy these guns for himself. It has been a while since he had graduated from using firearms.

He sent all forty K-1 rifles to Ashvilam, carrying them himself.

Forty Beast Goblins were gathered on the roof of the wall. These were professional guards who would only be deployed on guard missions in the future. The plan was for them to alternate, twenty each shift, day and night, to carry out guard duty.

Byeong-gap handed out the K-1 rifles.

“Repeat after me. Guns are a second life.”

“Guns. are. second. life!”

“The gun is my lover.”

“The gun is my lover!”

The Beast Goblins followed suit.

“In the future, this weapon will be your main armament. I’ll explain how to use it and how to maintain it, so be thoroughly familiar with it. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

Byeong-gap taught the forty guards about firearms. Guns were weapons that he was already sick and tired of; he thought an expert would feel the same.

After one theoretical lecture, they started practicing immediately. One by one, they held the guns against the edge of the wall. Being Beast Goblins, they were about 170 centimeters tall, so they had no difficulty in handling the guns.

“Get ready to shoot.”

“Fire!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of gunfire went off one after another in the serene quiet of Ashvilam. Debris bounced off the tree targets that they had previously set up in the forest.

‘These guys… They’re quite sharp, aren’t they?’

The Beast Goblins, akin to their name, had animalistic sense and concentration. They were raised to be assassins relying on quick movements, and looking at them, they made great shooters. Aside from that, through the growth potion, the ability of their bodies was raised to the next level. If they were given a hundred targets to shoot, they could certainly hit them all.

Their shooting training consumed ammunition, so Byeong-gap made sure they trained in moderation.

“I’ll say this again because it’s important enough to say it ten million times. A gun is a very dangerous weapon, so don’t point your gun at your friend for fun. If anyone gets caught fooling around with a gun, be prepared.”

“We’ll keep that in mind!”

“Okay. Night group, go back to rest. As for the day group, start your mission right away. Oh, by the way, don’t shoot until they cross the line.”

The Beast Goblins responded in unison, got back in position, and began to watch the boundaries.

Meanwhile, the Somnium restaurant was as crowded as the walls. Ea was giving a heated lecture to five Hob Goblins and ten Normal Goblins.

“Okay? When this hourglass turns over six times, take it out of the fire. Be careful. It will burn if you’re late and it’ll be raw if it’s too early.”

“Oh, I see.”

“By the way, Ea.”

“What? Any questions?”

“Are you going with the Lord?”

A Normal Goblin suddenly asked her. He had been helping Ea prepare meals since the beginning.

Ea smiled sadly.

“Yes, that’s the plan. I’m going with your Lord.”

“Sad… That’s too bad.”

“I’ll miss you. We’ll miss you.”

“Huhu, so will I. It’s hard to walk away thinking about parting with you.”

“It’s too bad. But Ea. Helping the Lord. It’s better.”

“That’s… That’s right.”

Ea smiled at the infinite love that the Goblins had for their Lord.

“You guys really like your Lord, don’t you?”

“Of course!”

“That’s amazing. Why do you like your Lord so much?”

The Goblins seemed to have question marks on their faces, not comprehending her question.

“Because he’s our Lord.”

“Ashvilam. Because he brought me here.”

“Lord. Yummy food. Warm house. He gave it to us. He gave us what we liked, so of course…”

“But your Lord sometimes gets angry; he gets annoyed, and sometimes he scares you. Don’t you hate him or resent him when that happens?”

“Are you stupid? It’s our fault. If the Lord is angry. It’s all our fault.”

“We should be the ones to do better.”

The Goblins desperately sided with their Lord. Ea thought that no matter how much she tried to win their favor, she wouldn’t be as loved as Byeong-gap.

“Huhu! I know. Let’s go to the freezer now. I’ll teach you how to store food.”

“Okay.”

A typical busy day in Somnium went by like that.

Somnium was very dynamic these days. Some Goblins were busy getting ready to leave, while the others were preparing to settle.

As part of the preparation, there was also a ‘Forest Subjugation Operation.’

“Doran, is everyone here?”

“Yes! We’re all here.”

Byeong-gap swept through the crowd gathered in front of the wall. The operation consisted of the infantry, attack squad, and Doran.

“We’re going to proceed exactly like last time. Don’t ever get out of the line and don’t let go of your focus. Let’s go.”

The huge gate opened, and the subjugation team quickly exited Somnium, heading into the forest. They formed a long line with Byeong-gap at the front and Doran at the rear.

“These are the ones that move without a trace. Keep strict boundaries on all sides.”

At their Lord’s word, the Goblins opened their eyes wide. They quickly passed through the area they had cleared before and soaked their feet in unexplored areas.

‘I think it will be more reassuring to stay with them as much as possible until we leave.’

At least before leaving Somnium, he was determined to explore the forest every day.

The team stopped in the middle of the forest and looked around for a moment. After a while, Grugles emerged through a crack in the trees as if they had risen from the ground.

“Ugh…”

“Groan…”

‘They’re really like ghosts.’

Byeong-gap lit a cigarette and pulled out his sword. He then shouted, aiming at the front.

“Go and wipe them all out.”

“Let’s go!”

“Kereuk!”

More than sixty Goblins ran past him, their spears cutting through the leaves. They slaughtered the Grugles mercilessly.

“Don’t come near me if you don’t want to get involved, you idiots!”

‘Ugh, those idiots.’

Doran fought, spouting a lot of aura. It was like using a sword to catch a mere rabbit. Thanks to her slashing, even the innocent trees were cut down. But she didn’t care. The moment her blade touched anything, it became like powder.

‘She’s almost as good as I am now with all that aura, isn’t she? I’m really going to be overturned.’

Doran’s growth rate was exceptional. It was also remarkable that she triggered her inner strength without even consuming a textbook. She also handles everything well.

‘I’m the Lord. I can’t be overturned.’

Byeong-gap joined the battle after putting out the cigarette butt. The forest was beginning to pile up with the corpses of Grugles.

Time had passed by in an instant.

It seemed only yesterday that the New Year was bright, but now February was already just around the corner.

“Wow…”

“Gee, it’s like Ashvilam.”

“Gasp!”
