The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Monster Army, Charge! (5)

After the Beastman with rabbit ears was slain.

“Wipe them all out!!!”

As Goblin King imbued his voice with demonic energy and gave the order to the monsters.

“””Yes!!!”””

Along with the monsters’ vigorous voices, they began to crush the Beastmen.

“H-Hiik?!”

“W-We can’t win against this!”
T h is w a s c op i ed fr om ki n g m t l . or g

“W-We have to run away!”

Following the loss of morale due to the death of the Beastman with rabbit ears, the enemy, frightened by the monsters’ fierce attack, turned around to flee. However,

“Don’t leave a single one alive!”

As if not letting a single one escape, Goblin King jumped into the front line and slaughtered the enemies.

“Hup!”

As he swung his fist imbued with demonic energy.

Kwa―――――――ang!

Along with a tremendous explosion, the enemies in the vicinity disappeared without leaving even a corpse.

“S-Spare me!”

“I-I surrender!!”

Occasionally, there were those who knelt and begged for their lives. However,

“You worms who don’t even know a soldier’s honor. How dare you kneel before the enemy.”

On the contrary, they only ended up facing a more brutal death for provoking Goblin King, who belonged to the true soldiers.

Just as they were invading the supply depot like that.

S―reung.

“I will kill you.”

“We will not allow any further invasion!”

“Withdraw your troops right now!!”

Three swordsmen who had reached the realm of Sword Master blocked Goblin King’s path.

“Hoo…”

Goblin King let out an exclamation of admiration as he looked at one of the knights.

“That greatsword handling is quite good, isn’t it?”

He coveted the greatsword the knight was holding.

“I was just looking for a new sword since I’ve grown bigger. This works out well.”

Although he was fighting with his fists because the length of his sword didn’t match, Goblin King was originally a swordsman, so he could exert his strongest power when he wielded a sword.

“…This bastard!!!”

At the words that he would kill and take his loot, the knight couldn’t hold back and swung his greatsword towards Goblin King.

Deopseok―

However, aside from bravely swinging the sword, Goblin King too easily grabbed the sword with two fingers and blocked the attack.

“…What?”

The knight was about to pull out the greatsword with force.

“I’ll put the sword to good use.”

Peo――――eong!

The knight’s body exploded into pieces from Goblin King’s attack.

“Let’s see how it swings.”

As Goblin King, who had obtained the greatsword, swung it toward the two knights.

“…Huh?”

“…Hmm?”

Seo――――geok!

Before the two knights could even react, their bodies were split in half, and they breathed their last.

“Hmm, the quality is not as good as the sword I used before.”

Goblin King looked at the greatsword with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

“Loyalty! I will report!”

A demon beast approached, saluting and speaking to him.

Originally, the two were colleagues of the same rank, but with the difference in their levels, the demon beast naturally came to treat Goblin King as a superior.

“Yes, report.”

Goblin King also naturally spoke down to him and permitted him to report.

“Yes! The enemy’s forces have fallen below 100,000. It seems we’ll be able to wipe out the entire force within 30 minutes!”

“I see.”

“After wiping out the enemy, we will prepare to retreat after burning all the supplies according to the original plan!”

At the demon beast’s following words, Goblin King shook his head and said,

“We will not burn the supplies, and we will not retreat either.”

“Yes?”

“We will use the supplies. And we will exterminate the other allied forces from here.”

Following Elvis’s plan might be the most ideal method. However,

‘It doesn’t make sense to run away after gaining this kind of power.’

Things had changed after obtaining great power through Master-nim’s grace.

‘If it were before, it would be impossible to handle. But now, it’s more than enough to overwhelm them.’

Now that he had gained the power to overwhelm even those who transcended realms, shouldn’t he actively utilize it?

T his w a s c op i e d f rom ki n g mt l . o r g
“I understand. I’ll convey that to the subordinates!”

“Don’t forget to give the remaining enemies a good rest after wiping them out.”

“Understood!”

After the demon beast saluted and left.

“It’s good to overwhelm them with force, but to minimize casualties, it would be better to actively utilize the magic cannons and artifacts installed in the supply depot.”

Just as he was about to take a step to inspect the magic cannons.

“You’ve become quite imposing.”

Master-nim’s voice could be heard in his ears.

“Loyalty!”

Goblin King turned towards the direction of the voice and immediately saluted.

“Yes.”

Jung Minwoo, who was standing behind him, saluted back, accepting his greeting.

“Thank you for bestowing upon me such an undeserved power.”

Teolseok―

Then, Goblin King knelt on one knee, expressing his gratitude to Jung Minwoo.

“Undeserved power? I believe I gave you the power that suits you.”

“M-Master-nim…!”
T h is w a s c o p i ed fr om ki ng m t l . o r g

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Goblin King teared up with an overwhelmed expression.

“You’ve become the leader of a race, but surely you’re not going to shed tears so pathetically, are you?”

“N-No, sir!”

Goblin King hurriedly wiped his eyes and answered in a loud voice.

“Now that your level has risen, I need to give you a name instead of a number.”

“A-A name, you say?”

“Yes, I can’t keep calling you ‘A―1’ when you’re the leader of a race.”

“T-Thank you!!”

It was just giving him a title, but,

‘Master-nim is giving me my own name…!’

Goblin King was simply overjoyed by the fact that Master-nim was giving him a name.

“Hmm… what name would be good.”

Jung Minwoo stroked his chin and fell into thought for a moment.

“Since he’s Goblin King… Gob King? Hmm… That’s not it. Then how about removing the last consonant and making it ‘Gob’?”

And he muttered several names to himself.

“Yes, ‘Gob’ would be good. From now on, your name is ‘Gob’.”

He bestowed upon him the name ‘Gob’.

“Gob…! Thank you so much!!”

Goblin King, no, Gob felt joy at having a name instead of a number and repeatedly chanted his name inwardly.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i ng m t l . or g
“I have some business to attend to, so I’ll be on my way.”

“Please go ahead!”

“Yes, I believe you will handle the rest of the work splendidly.”

“Just trust me! Loyalty!!!”

After Jung Minwoo disappeared, Gob began to diligently prepare to repay Master-nim’s faith in him.

Meanwhile, in another army.

“E-Emergency report that the supply depot has been invaded!!”

“Gather the troops immediately!!!”

They were organizing troops to recapture the supply depot.

“What are the monster numbers?”

“…A-About that.”

As the knight hesitated to answer the deputy commander’s question.

“Don’t you know how urgent this is? Hurry up and speak!”

He shouted and demanded a quick answer.

“T-The current estimated number is 700 million!”

“7… What?”
T hi s w a s c o pie d fr om k i n g m t l . o r g

“700 million, sir!”

The deputy commander looked at the knight, doubting his own ears.

“…I-It’s hard to believe, but I’ve checked several times!”
T hi s wa s c o p i ed f r o m k in g m tl . o rg

The knight said with a wronged expression.

“Damn it, why are there so many of them?”

“The only good news is that the monsters are goblins and orcs.”

“…Are you kidding me?”

“Sir?”

“Do you think the monsters that invaded the supply depot are ordinary ones?”

“…”

The deputy commander shook his head as if he found him pathetic.

“We’re leaving right now!!”

He began to lead the troops toward the supply depot.

“Mages, be ready to cast magic at any time, and archers, have your arrows nocked on your bowstrings!”

“””Yes!”””

As he rode his horse, the deputy commander used the communication artifact in his pocket to send a message to the other units.

“1st unit departing. What’s the situation with the other units?”

Chiiik―

[2nd unit departing]

[3rd unit departing as well]

[4th unit has also departed]

Then, the artifact lit up, and the other units responded to the message.

“What are the numbers of troops you’re each leading?”

When he asked about the numbers, the deputy commanders replied that they were each leading 100 million troops.

‘A total of 400 million… We can definitely recapture it.’

The deputy commander breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that the current situation wasn’t so negative.

‘Although we’re leaving troops behind at the base, it would be best to finish this quickly and return.’

He had raised the base’s alert level and redeployed troops in preparation for other Demon Lord invasions, but with 100 million troops gone, he couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

‘It won’t change anything even if I’m uneasy.’

The deputy commander forced himself to suppress his anxiety and quickly headed towards the supply depot.

A short while later, when they reached the vicinity of the supply depot.

‘Why is it so quiet?’

He couldn’t see inside because of the outer wall, but no sound could be heard from the supply depot, as if there was no one there.

‘…What is this?’

The moment he sensed an unknown ominous feeling.

U―――ung.

The magic cannons installed on the outer wall started to operate.

Peo―eong, peo―eong, peo―eong, peo―eong, peo―eong, peo―eong, peo―eong, peo―eong, peo―eong!

Shells began to fly towards them.

“Mages, deploy the protective barrier!!!”

“””Yes!”””

This was within the expected range, so the deputy commander calmly gave orders to the mages.

“””Barrier!!!”””

As the mages cast the prepared magic.

Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang! Kwa――ang!

The shells collided with the protective barrier, causing tremendous explosions.

“Don’t be scared and advance!!”

At the deputy commander’s following order, they calmly moved forward.

Buseureok―

An unusual sound pierced his ears amidst the explosions.

‘What’s that sound…?’

As he lowered his gaze.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mtl . o r g

‘Hand…?’

He could see a hand, presumably belonging to a monster, rising from the ground.

‘Could it be that they were ambushing in the ground?’

The moment he felt puzzled about not sensing their presence.

Banjjak―

An artifact buried in the ground caught his eye.

‘Damn it, they used artifacts to hide their presence!’

As he looked closely at the ground, he realized that hundreds of artifacts were buried there.

The deputy commander, who was convinced that this was the ominous feeling he had been sensing.

“Everyone…!”

He tried to inform his subordinates of this fact and make them respond, but.

Pu―uk!

“Keok!”

A monster’s surprise attack pierced his neck, unfortunately preventing him from finishing his words.

“Keoheok!”

Teolseok―

As the deputy commander lost his balance and fell from his horse, hitting the ground.

“””Kkiyatho!”””

As if that served as a signal to start the surprise attack, the monsters hiding in the ground all jumped out at once and attacked.

“W-What, what is this?”

“R-Respond!”

“Monsters?!”

“Someone block them!”

They tried to respond to the monsters’ surprise attack somehow. However,

Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk! Pu―uk!

Perhaps because the surprise attack was too sudden, they began to die helplessly without even putting up a proper fight.

‘…Damn it, I underestimated the fact that their intelligence is higher than I thought.’

The deputy commander knew that it wouldn’t be easy since they had invaded the supply depot, but he hadn’t expected their intelligence to be this high.

T h i s w a s co p i e d fr o m k i ngm t l .or g
‘I have to inform the other deputy commanders of this…!’

The deputy commander decided to inform the other units that they had been ambushed so that they wouldn’t fall for the same tactic and took out the communication artifact from his pocket.

‘If it’s not a surprise attack, we can handle it…!’

Just as he was about to activate the communication artifact.

Kwa――jik!

“K-Kuaaaaaaaaak!”

A giant foot trampled on his hand along with the artifact.
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g mt l. or g

As the deputy commander felt excruciating pain and looked up.

“I can’t let you do that.”

A monster that looked at least 3 meters tall was looking down at him with an arrogant gaze.

‘…What?’

The moment he felt bewildered by the fact that he could sense the dignity of a king from a mere monster.

“Farewell.”

Kwa――jik.

The flame of his life was extinguished by the monster’s hand, rendering him unable to continue his thoughts.
