Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 356

◈ 356. [Evil Side] Heavenly nature)

hundreds of years ago.

A magic laboratory in the Western Human Kingdom.

The wizard husband and wife who own the lab found a dying goblin nearby..

The goblin was pregnant and gave birth to babies as she lay dying, but most of them were stillborn..

But the last one survived and came out into the world..

The cub crying desperately in its dead mother's arms was immature. If left as is, they would either be eaten by wild animals or die from exhaustion from crying..

What kind of pity was felt??

The wizard couple rescued this goblin cub and placed it in a magic cultivation facility inside the research institute..

Was it an innate mutation, or did the abundant mana in the magic cultivation facility cause some special effect?.

When the baby goblin grew healthy and left the culture facility, it grew taller and smarter than other goblins of the same age..

And I followed the couple wizard as if I were my own parents..

The wizard couple decided to raise this goblin themselves..

The Western Human Kingdom was a region chronically under attack by greenskins..

The wizard couple hoped that by taming this baby goblin, they would be able to come up with a countermeasure against this attack..

Or maybe it's because this couple has been infertile for a long time..

Maybe that's why their hearts were shaken by the sight of this goblin cub growing up and following them like a parent..

Either way, the wizard couple decided to raise this baby goblin and gave it a name..

alexandr.

It was the name of a great human king who once ruled the western part of the continent..

***

Alexander was brilliant..

To be precise, he was overly bright..

He learned things much faster than human children his age. As goblins become adults at the age of five, their brains may have grown quickly..

At the age of three, Alexandre became capable of conversation as well as an adult human, and at the age of four, he was able to help the couple wizards with their work..

And at the age of five, I was able to read all the books in the lab without difficulty..

The wizard couple hired Aleksandr as an assistant in the laboratory from the time he was four years old..

For an elderly couple who had to handle everything just the two of them due to a limited budget, the smart and sturdy Alexandre was a reassurance..

The problem arose a month after Aleksandr started working as an assistant..

It was the day after the wizard couple woke up after bringing in several chicks from a nearby village for experimentation..

“I'm sorry... … When I hear these kids crying, I just can't stand it.…….”

Aleksandr had killed all the chicks overnight. It was after being cruelly torn, torn, and devoured..

Alexandre muttered absentmindedly, his body covered in feathers and blood..

“however… … Why can't I kill him??”

“…….”

Only then did the couple wizard realize.

No matter how brilliant he is and how well he uses human language, the child in front of me is a goblin..

A monster with a cruel and ferocious nature that tears and tears at anything smaller and weaker than itself..

The couple wizards discussed for a long time. Should I kill that goblin? Or should I throw it away?

But, but- I've already grown attached..

So, instead of killing or abandoning Alexander, the wizard couple decided to educate him..

“Alexandre, let's read this starting today..”

The wizard couple brought in a bunch of books suitable for children from a nearby village..

From children’s books to novels, history books, and poetry collections.…….

The couple believed.

No matter how cruel his nature may be, this goblin child will be able to adapt to human society if exposed to a rich culture and treated gently and warmly..

Alexander eagerly read all the books the couple brought..

The young goblin loved all books, but especially poetry..

I was so moved by the emotions engraved by great poets like constellations that I even shed tears..

Through the couple's continued education and dedication, Alexander gradually weaned himself from his cruel instincts..

Aleksandr was now in charge of raising the chicks..

And, it happened when Alexander was five years old..

A festival was held in a nearby village, and the couple wanted to show Alexander the festival..

“Come on, Alexander! Let's go see a play together!”

Alexander wore long clothes, gloves, and a mask on his face to hide his green skin..

As Alexandre entered the human village, holding hands between the couple and the wizard, the festival was in full swing..

Children wearing festival masks were spread out on the streets. Alexander was able to enter the traveling troupe's theater without any suspicion..

And Alexander saw the new world.

It was a play based on history. On stage, actors recited lines, acted, sang and recited poetry..

Everything that Alexander had read in books was embodied on that stage..

Alexandre watched the play unfolding for two hours, crying incessantly..

For a long time.

It was perhaps the most powerful memory of his life that would not be forgotten even after hundreds of years had passed..

***

Happiness didn't last long.

The fact that goblins were being raised in a research lab had spread widely..

Eventually, the chief of a nearby village came to the institute to protest..

“Raising goblins right next to a village that is always in fear of greenskin attacks... … Are you out of your mind?! What if that goblin calls out to his own people?!”

“Our Alexander is not that type of kid.…….”

“Now you've even given that monster a name?! You're really crazy!”

The village chief and the villagers demanded that the goblin be immediately killed and thrown away, or that the institute leave the village..

The couple wizards didn't think long..

We decided to move the research center to a more rural town..

“You are living proof that goblins can live together with humans, Aleksandr..”

The wizard couple comforted Aleksandr, who was sobbing after learning that he was being kicked out because of them..

“And you are our son too.”

“Wherever we go, we'll live happily ever after.”

The family of three, the couple Wizard and Aleksandr, packed their moving wagon..

Because it was a small carriage, it couldn't carry much luggage, so all of Alexander's favorite books had to be thrown away..

The wizard couple promised that if they moved to the next town, they would buy them a new in-laws there. Alexander nodded his head happily..

It took three days by carriage to reach the next village. Driving the carriage slowly, the family of three was happy that it felt like a trip..

We saw new scenery during the day, lit a bonfire at night, looked at the sky, and sang together..

The moving wagon was attacked by a group of greenskins the day before it arrived at the next village..

***

The surprise attack was instantaneous..

Orc cavalry on wolves attacked the side of the carriage, and the heavily loaded carriage toppled over on its side..

The wolf bit the horse to death, and the orc riding on it swung a sword, and her husband, the wizard, bled to death without even being able to utter a word..

The wife, the wizard, was thrown out of the fallen carriage and tried to use magic while lying down, but she was trampled by a wolf riding on an orc cavalry that appeared later, and her neck was broken and she died..

The suppression was over in an instant. The two orc cavalrymen chuckled in satisfaction..

“Crumbling! plunder, plunder!”

“They were wizards! There will be expensive items on board! Take everything!”

Then, the goblins who followed the orc cavalry stopped the fallen carriage to steal it..

When Alexandre, who had lost consciousness in the fallen carriage, came to his senses, what he saw was the corpse of a couple wizards who had died horribly, and two orcs searching for the corpse..

pop.

At that moment, something broke in Aleksandr's mind..

It was the moment when the ‘humanity’ that the magician couple had carefully tied up inside Alexandre burned down..

“Huh... … Heo Eok…….”

When Aleksandr came to, he was standing over the corpses of two orcs..

Two wolves were dead with their intestines spilling out, one of the two orcs had its head cut off and the other had its limbs completely crushed..

Aleksandr was sitting on top of the orc and slowly lifting the orc-style sword he had taken from the orc..

“Goblin… … on the subject of slavery…….”

Lastly, he said something..

“dare… … To the great orcs…….”

Phuwak!

I have never received combat training.

However, Alexander instinctively swung his sword smoothly and violently and cut off the orc's head..

The flying orc's head, spattering green blood, rolled down on the floor..

There was a group of trembling goblins looking up at Aleksandr..

“…….”

When Aleksandr looked at them with his blood-soaked gaze, the goblins immediately fell to the ground and began to tremble..

“Kirik! Kiririk!”

“Please save me! Please just save my life!”

“I will obey! Please don't kill me!”

“I will serve you from now on! So please!”

Ignoring his compatriots, Alexander went next to the corpse of the couple wizards..

His parents, who had loved him throughout his short life, were dead without even being able to close their eyes properly..

Alexander dug the ground with his own hands and buried his parents' bodies..

And while this whole process was over, the goblins continued to lie down on the floor without moving a single step..

they were slaves.

need someone to give orders.

“…….”

Looking down at his compatriots who were trying to serve him, Alexander let out a long sigh..

“hey.”

“Key, key! Speak, strong goblin!”

“……Where are these orcs based??”

“Hmm, it’s a mountain village not far away… … Why but, Kirik?”

The goblins carefully raised their heads to see what Aleksandr was doing. Alexandre muttered briefly and took the orc's sword..

“I'm going to kill them all.”

The goblins who were watching behind him as he left quickly followed him. Alexander left it alone..

This was Alexander's first group..

And with this group, Alexander set out to avenge his parents..

***

For the next ten years, Alexander lived on the battlefield..

He killed any orcs he could find and accepted the goblins who had been slaves under him into his group..

He had a natural commander's talent. It was also helpful for him to read the human book of war..

He calmly defeated and killed the orcs who charged at him, relying only on his strong body, using strategy and tactics..

Above all, he emphasized military discipline to his soldiers..

He demanded that the army not fight according to instinct, but strictly follow his orders..

During the Greenskin Civil War, he became an accomplished commander, and his soldiers also became a well-refined army..

10A year later, Alexander killed all seven orc lords with his own hands, and the orc army was destroyed..

The Greenskin Civil War ended with a Goblin victory..

Goblins, who had been slaves of the orcs since birth, now serve the orcs as slaves..

When Aleksandr came to his senses, his vengeance was over and he was the ruler of a vast greenskin kingdom..

“Kiririk! great alexandr!”

“goblin among goblins!”

“King! What are you going to conquer next??!”

Alexander answered his subordinates' questions succinctly..

“no more fighting.”

“kirick?!”

“What does that mean, Kiririk?……?”

“Our goblins no longer attack other races..”

His army was governed by strict military discipline..

Alexander believed. That his entire race would be able to live by the law like this..

Just like his parents believed in him… … that it can be reformed.

And so it happened. After receiving Alexander's order, the goblins stopped plundering..

Peace has come between the greenskin kingdom and the nearby human kingdom..

And soon after, a human delegation came..

Alexander greeted the delegation wearing human clothing and an iron mask. The messenger was perplexed, but told Alexander his business..

“This time, the ruler of the greenskins has changed, so I came to deliver the words of our great king..”

“Try it, human..”

“With the seven orc lords dead, the greenskins' only combatants are goblins. Our human army could wipe you out if it wanted to..”

“…….”

“But our merciful King does not wish for unnecessary conflict. If they don't attack us like they do now and maintain the border, we will be able to have peace..”

The lion's tone was arrogant, but Alexander was a generous king. Alexander nodded his head..

“I also don't want to be hostile to humans. Let's interact peacefully.”

“……You seem very rational for a goblin.?”

“Let’s take it as a compliment. Hello! Please treat these people kindly.!”

The envoys were horrified to hear that they were being treated by goblins, but Alexander provided them with human food and alcohol..

The delegation was impressed by Alexander's eloquence, outstanding insight, and friendly attitude toward humans..

By the end of the short dinner, the delegation was completely on Alexander's side..

“When I return, I will tell our king well. We will be able to interact peacefully and culturally with the new king of the greenskins.!”

“Please take care of me.”

The lion and Alexander, who had just become close friends, shook hands. The delegation walked away from the palace, being seen off by the Goblin King..

Alexander thought. Now we will interact with the human kingdom and spread our culture to the goblins as well..

I will clothe you, teach you languages, and teach you the joys of poetry, song, and drama..

However, the delegation did not return safely to their kingdom..

Before leaving the border of the Greenskin Kingdom, they were attacked by a small group of goblins and all died..

***

“Why did you kill him??”

The group of goblins that attacked the delegation were all captured and brought to Alexander..

Standing in front of them, Aleksandr growled..

“We were able to live in peace with humans. Without war, we could adopt their culture and prosper together..”

“…….”

“But you ruined it. They ignored my orders prohibiting raiding and plundering, and ended up killing an envoy from the human kingdom.!”

“…….”

“Why did you do that? why? Because you're hungry? Because you need money? Or, I have a grudge against those people.?”

“…….”

“Aren't you asking why I killed him? Answer me right away!”

Phuwak!

After being hit by Alexandre's scimitar, one of the tied goblin's heads was cut off and it flew into the sky..

One of the goblins, who was trembling as he was hit by drops of blood, answered..

“Key, key... … Well, just…….”

“……?”

“I just want to kill you…….”

“what?”

“I can't stand it... … . Since I couldn't kill or steal anything for a long time, something boiled inside me.…….”

Alexandre's eyes rolled back at those words and he slashed his sword like crazy..

“Damn it! Savage! fool! You guys!”

Sigh! Pukak! Phuwak!

“Just for that reason! Just for that reason!”

When he came to, Alexander was covered in blood..

All of my compatriots in front of me were torn to pieces and dead. Alexander slowly lifted his hand and looked down at his blood-soaked hand..

he realized.

The corners of your mouth are smiling.

It reminded me of when I was young and tore a chick to death..

From then until now, nothing has changed. I had to admit it.

It was fun.

slaughter.

I couldn't stand it because it was so fun to tear and kill things that were weaker than me..

As he looked around, he saw a strange desire burning in the eyes of his subordinate soldiers, who were lined up motionlessly as they had been trained to do..

kill,

take away,

want to burn-

desire for destruction.

‘iced coffee.’

Alexandre finally realized this. I finally admitted it.

this… … It's a goblin's nature..

What are you talking about?.

That was just crazy nonsense..

“Kirik! Kiririk! King!”

At that time, a goblin guard came rushing in from outside..

“The human army is coming! You've already crossed the border! kirick!”

“…….”

“It looks like he was extremely angry at the envoy's murder! What should I do, Kirik??!”

What should I do?.

“……Everyone take up arms.”

If this is nature. If I had no choice but to be born like this.

What should I do?.

“As you trained, prepare for Mercury. prepare for battle.”

Still, since I was born.

Isn't it something we have to live with?…….

Kirik! Kirik! kirick!

thud! thud! thud!

His soldiers all slammed their spears on the ground. It was an instinctive behavior that he had never been taught..

After smelling blood, fire, and ash and looking around at the excited goblins,,

“My compatriots who love and hate.”

It's like looking into a mirror, filled with self-loathing and self-pity at the same time.,

alexandr said.

“Let's kill and burn.”

he decided to accept.

“……Just like our nature.”

He realized that he too was just a goblin..
