The Record of Orc Civilization

Suddenly, they heard the sound of rustling leaves rubbing against each other.

"Three o'clock direction!" Sigurd gave a warning.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of rustling leaves rubbing against each other.

"Three o'clock direction!" Sigurd gave a warning.

All eyes of the A15 class children were directed to the spot indicated by Sigurd. There, they saw a green creature no larger than half their body size perched on a tree, staring at them with its yellow eyes.

Its skin was wrinkled like an old person and its body limbs were skinny. Its neck appeared too small to support its large head. The creature looked repulsive and weak, but intelligence could be seen in its unblinking eyes, observing them.

"Ah, it's just a goblin," said Dony and several other A15 class children with relief.

"Oh no, it's a goblin," said Artur, Robert, and several other A15 class children who understood better.

In haste, Artur took an arrow from his back and aimed at the goblin. However, Robert was quicker than Artur, and his arrow had already flown towards the head of the goblin perched on the tree branch.

But Robert was too late. Before his arrow could pierce the goblin's throat, it had managed to emit a loud sound.

"URANG!" one word from the monster language came out of its mouth before Robert's arrow penetrated its forehead.

The goblin instantly lost its life and fell from the tree. Its body crashed into the bushes and then lay motionless on the ground. Although the threat seemed to have disappeared, there was no relief on Robert's face. He and some other A15 class children looked very anxious and panicked. The same expression was on Artur's face.

"RUN!" Robert ordered.

Artur did not wait for the other A15 class children to understand what was happening. He immediately forced his tired legs to run faster. His position, which was initially in the middle of the line, quickly reached the front of the line, just behind Robert, who was also accelerating.

Although some of them did not understand, the A15 class children who understood Robert's command followed him without saying anything. As a result, all A15 class children ran faster, hurriedly leaving the location where the goblin was killed.

"Artur, why do we have to hurry like this? Isn't it just a goblin?" Dony, who did not understand, caught up with Artur from behind and asked with a gasping breath.

"Just a goblin? Are you crazy? Don't you know how monsters survive in the mana field?" said Artur with frustration.

He realized that humans tend to underestimate monster species. For humans who are constantly being lured by their superiority as mana species, a species that has absolutely no superiority on mana can appear very weak and useless in their eyes.

But Artur knew that monster species were not that weak. Maybe for a mage, monster species were just like pests, but for ordinary humans who had not become mages, monster species could be a dangerous threat. If only they could think more critically, they would surely ask why the weakest species in the world could survive in the most dangerous place in the world.

"How do monsters survive? What do you mean?" Dony immediately realized the gist of Artur's words.

"Monster species are indeed very weak because they do not have mana flow or mana organs in their bodies, but they have other advantages over ordinary humans. They have stronger bodies or stronger senses. For centuries, they have lived in mana fields and adapted to form their own ways of survival!"

"Didn't your parents tell you stories when you were a child?" Artur didn't believe that these noble children had less knowledge about monsters than he did.

"Stories? What stories?"

"Sylph hiding, Alraune trapping, orc stalking, and goblin ambushing. Haven't you heard these words before?" Artur asked again.

"Ah!" Dony seemed to remember something that his mother used to sing to him when he was a child. "But isn't that just a fairy tale?"

"No, fool! Those words are real! Sylph has a small body with green markings on it, making them able to camouflage with their surroundings. Alraune has a lower body that is shaped like a flower, so they can hide inside it and wait for their prey to come closer. Orcs have fat pads on their feet, sharp vision, and a strong sense of smell, so they hunt their prey by stalking. Meanwhile, goblins have very good reproductive abilities, so they hunt by ambushing their prey.

"Not only that, goblins are also known to be able to make long-range weapons such as blow darts and arrows. Although they don't have a sense of smell as sharp as orcs, they can still smell their prey from hundreds of meters away. So, it's certain that the goblin we just encountered has known about our presence for a long time. Why do you think he approached us, even though we have a fairly large group?"

"Because they have a larger number?" Dony answered with a pale face. "Wait a minute! Goblins are known as the most cowardly monster race compared to other monster races. If they know we are humans, why do they still attack us? Aren't they afraid of mages?"

Although monster species are very weak, they possess intelligence akin to mana species. Therefore, it is very rare for a monster species to attack humans unless humans first enter their territory. Even in the Bog forest, which is a natural wild mana field, monster attacks only occurred once, carried out by the orc race.

This was due to the mages being busy monitoring the elf territory after the end of the first mana species war. After the pest extermination carried out by three mages, there were no more monster attacks in the Bog forest.

However, the current location where they are situated is very different from the Bog forest. It is located within the Military Academy, so it is impossible for mutated animals or monster species within it to go unnoticed by the Gurru Committee.

However, at the moment, a goblin has clearly come to spy on them with the intention of attacking. Artur did not know why these goblins dared to attack Military Academy students, and he did not care about the truth.

All of that was not as important as his fear of being late for school on the first day.

"They're coming! 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock directions!" Sigurd warned his friends once again.

From behind them, a horde of goblins was seen running, carrying long-range weapons like blow darts and arrows in their hands. Their small legs ran so fast that they caught up to the A15 class children in front of them.

"Prepare for the attack!" Robert shouted orders.

Artur did not have a shield to protect him from behind, but he was confident he could slice through any arrows aimed at him. The problem was the blow darts, which were too small to be seen in flight. Nonetheless, the goblins had to come closer to hit them with blow darts.

"Robert! In front of us!" Sigurd shouted again.

"I know!"

In front of them, hundreds of goblins lined up with sharp weapons in their hands. Although these weapons were made only of wood and bone, they could still pierce through human soft skin.

Artur could not read the expression on the goblins' faces, but he knew that the goblin blockade in front of them would do anything to stop the A15 class children from passing through. Artur gripped his sword tightly, ready for the collision.

"We will break through the damn goblin! A15, follow me!" Robert raised his sword into the air.

"YEEEEEHHHHH!!!!" the A15 class children screamed at the top of their lungs.

The A15 class and the goblin horde collided, and the battle began. Blood splattered out, and goblin heads were cut off. In just a few exchanges, the A15 class's superiority began to show.

Robert showed no mercy with his sword swings, tearing through the goblin lines in front of him like a tornado. Artur and the others followed the path Robert had cleared from behind, killing any remaining goblins and continuing to run after their leader.

In just a few tens of seconds, the A15 class successfully broke through the goblin blockade.

---------------------------------

Not far from where class A15 and a horde of goblins were fighting, two men sat atop a tree, watching with interest.

"Hehehe... The son of a hero truly does not disappoint. He alone defeated five goblins with a single stroke and opened the way for his comrades," said the man with green hair.

"His bravery and leadership remind me of the stories when Lord Gaht was still young," nodded the man with black hair.

A goblin standing on a tree branch behind them could only remain silent with a gloomy face. He could not bear to watch his fellow tribe members being slaughtered by human children.

Nevertheless, he could only clench his fists and grit his teeth hard. Holding back the frustration and depression in his heart knowing that it was he who sent them to be killed.

"Ah... How are the preparations in the second field?"

"Hmm... We don't have enough goblins anymore. If we send them again, the goblin race in the second field will truly become extinct. Therefore, there will only be wild animals in the second field."

"Ugh... Fighting brainless animals is not the same as fighting intelligent creatures like goblins. Hey, can you increase the number of members in your tribe as soon as possible?"

The goblin who was suddenly called upon quickly nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

"Good then!" nodded the man with green hair.
