Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More!

igilant, but each time I went ahead and warned everyone so they hid themselves.

Fortunately, we managed to earn enough distance to not get detected and managed to get behind them.

“Okay, let’s cross the river here and begin our attack.”
“Finally! I can’t wait anymore.”
“Still, these monsters really don’t have any provisions on them, huh?”
“They are still just evolved Goblins, in the end.
Besides, they themselves are their own food.”

They kept going on a forced march, and used their weakened comrades as food on the place.
Normally, the group numbers were limited due to such food shortages, but with the Goblin Lord around, their high level of reproduction gave them an unlimited supply of meat.

Like that, they formed a force that went beyond their normal retention rate, being maddened through hunger and brainwashing, and forced to attack human settlements in great numbers.

“Okay, let’s go!”

With Kayle’s signal, the magician man cast Water Walking on all of us.
Once we confirmed that, we silently dashed across the river.

In battles, this would normally be the time we raised war cries, but this was a surprise attack.
It was to our advantage for the enemy to notice us as late as possible.

It felt strange for sure crossing the river above it.
We were advancing forward, but the direction of our movement was off due to the currents.

The sensation as if the floor under our feet was moving made our legs slow down.

Even so, being able to run on it as we would on the ground was a huge plus.
We luckily managed to get to the other side without being detected and succeeded in our attack from the back.

“Taryaaaaaaaaa!”
“Seyaaaa!”
“Gugya!? Gyaaaaaa!”

Kayle and Leon in particular took the initiative to charge and cut their way through the Goblins.
Fifth-ranked Kayle was one thing, but even Leon held the skill of a fourth rank, so neither of them was falling behind the other.

From our sudden appearance behind their back, the Goblins clearly grew restless.

That said, we couldn’t relax here.
It was a surprise attack of eight people.
Our numbers couldn’t even be compared to theirs.
Unless we put an end to the Goblin Lord fast, we would get surrounded in the blink of an eye.

If that happened, it would be us who’d get trampled down due to the sheer numbers they held.

I also kept slaughtering the Goblins by swinging my spear in every direction.

I stole a glance towards the sky, and I found a single pigeon there.
It was probably the familiar that Cortina dispatched.

She was observing the battle from above like this to understand the full situation.
With this and the Guild staff, she could access the information quickly.

Naturally, scouting done by a familiar would get found out if it was used against humans.
But the opponents were Goblins, so this method of scouting could be used.

I took down the second and third Goblin, continuing to cut through the enemy’s rear guards.
And before long, one Goblin that was a size bigger than normal stood before me.

“…Goblin Lord.
To think I would be the one to find it first.”

Due to the confused battle, there were no comrades nearby me.
Rather, everyone was busy fending for themselves.
There was no hope for reinforcements to come.
In other words…

“So you’re telling me I have to defeat this guy myself, huh?”
“GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOARR!!”

A low-pitched war cry like that of repeated blows of drum had reached my eardrums.
With that as a sign, the Goblin Lord charged at me.

Like this, without intending it, I ended up having to face the enemy ringleader in a solo battle.
