Phobio crossed his arms, looking down at Rigurdo and Gobta, who had drawn his katana, with disdain.
As the strongest warrior in the Beastman Beast Corps, the amount of magicules in his body was completely incomparable to that of Rigurdo and Gobta, these two small Goblins.
For so many years, he had accompanied the Beast King in numerous campaigns, and his combat experience was extremely rich, so he had every reason to be proud.
"I sensed several powerful auras in the town, aren't you going to call for reinforcements?"
Rigurdo, with his muscular build, was already in a pouncing stance.
"No need, although the opponent is the strongest warrior of the Beast Corps, I also want to test the profound mysteries I learned from Rimuru-sama!"
Rigurdo's Shadow flickered, and his green Shadow had already darted in front of Phobio.
Phobio crossed his arms, showing no intention of dodging.
On the contrary, he had a smile on his face, commenting on Rigurdo's ability.
"Shadow Movement? Not bad, not bad, for a mere Goblin to learn such a skill is enough to be proud of!"
However, at this moment, Phobio's body trembled, and his head slightly shifted.
Using his peripheral vision, he had already seen Gobta, who had moved behind him and whose katana had already struck his back.
Gobta held his sword in one hand, looking heroic and spirited, and loudly declared, "Rimuru's Secret Art: The Righteous Sneak Attack!"
Pfft!
Several members of the Beastman Beast Corps all spat!
The Righteous Sneak Attack?
Had they misheard?
Unlike the onlookers, Phobio felt the pressure immediately.
This ridiculously funny-looking Goblin's hand was surprisingly fast!
The sword was also unexpectedly sharp.
However, for Phobio, this posed no threat at all.
He threw a punch with one hand, meeting Rigurdo's fist, and transformed his other hand into a palm, which was burning with fiery flames, to meet Gobta's katana.
It was just one against two, and Phobio felt very relaxed.
However, at this moment, Phobio suddenly looked up and was astonished to find that a thick, black lightning bolt had condensed in the sky at some unknown time.
After a brief perception, Phobio was surprised to discover that a Storm Fang Wolf had appeared at some unknown time.
This black lightning was summoned by the Storm Fang Wolf!
After a wolf howl, the Storm Fang Wolf loudly declared, "Rimuru's Secret Art: The Backstab of Justice!"
The onlookers from the Beastman Beast Corps were dumbfounded.
How despicable is this Rimuru of yours?
These skills are too insidious!
In the nick of time, Phobio took a step, covering more than ten meters, successfully avoiding the pincer attack from Gobta, Rigurdo, and the Storm Fang Wolf.
Although he successfully avoided it, for Phobio, it was a failure.
Just two Goblins, plus a husky, actually forced him to retreat—what a disgrace!
Phobio's face darkened; he had to admit that the cooperation between these two Goblins and the husky was truly excellent.
The timing of their skill releases was also perfectly executed.
But this was not a reason for his failure!
Phobio: "The fact that you could force me to retreat a step is enough for you to be proud!"
Gobta shook his head, disagreeing, "Rimuru-sama once said that it doesn't matter if you retreat one step; you will continue to retreat a second step, a third step. Life is always like this, with ups and downs. Phobio, you don't need to be discouraged at all!"
Phobio immediately felt as if he had been stabbed in the mouth by something invisible, so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
The skills were called Rimuru's Secret Art, and even their words were directly quoted from Rimuru.
Are you all thoughtless parrots?
Phobio's body ignited with raging flames, his rage meter already maxed out.
"Rimuru? Sounds like a truly despicable and shameless fellow. Don't worry, after I deal with you all, I will properly greet her!"
Gobta scoffed.
"Our Goblin race is the weakest in the Demon Country Federation. A guy who was forced to retreat by us shouldn't be saying such arrogant words!"
Phobio: "I'm going to kill you!"
Gobta: "You were just forced to retreat by me and the leader!"
Phobio: "…"
Boom!
The ground beneath Phobio's feet suddenly caved in, and his body instantly lunged towards Gobta.
At this moment, Gobta was already riding on the back of the Storm Fang Wolf, having already fled.
"Rimuru's Secret Art: The Courageous and Unstoppable Escape!"
Meanwhile, Rigurdo moved.
With a wave of his arm, a Goblin, a Storm Fang Wolf, and other miscellaneous troops appeared behind him.
"Rimuru's Secret Art: The Second Victory in a One-on-One Fight—"
"Dung beetle army bomb deployment ready, fire!"
"Magic Bee Unit stinger ready, fire!"
"Everyone, put on gas masks! Skunk Unit combat ready! Deploy all-natural, pollution-free biochemical gas bombs!"
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
With the successful deployment of the all-natural, pollution-free gas bombs, this battle immediately became "flavorful."
Phobio was going crazy; he was completely out of sorts.
What the hell is the "Second Victory in a One-on-One Fight"?
Do you guys have some misunderstanding about one-on-one fights?
Outside the arena.
Milim clutched her stomach and burst into laughter, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Rimuru, you secretly taught Gobta and the others so many profound mysteries. I want to learn too, I want to learn too!"
Shizue looked at Rimuru, her beautiful eyes wide, as if she had discovered a new World.
It seemed to say, "Rimuru, so this is the kind of Rimuru you are!"
Rimuru was furious, "Those profound mysteries really weren't taught by me; you have to believe me. Am I, Rimuru, the kind of person who would do such boring things?"
Shion and Shuna nodded, clearly stating, "We completely believe that when you, Rimuru-sama, get bored, you will definitely be even more boring than what was described above!"
Rimuru covered her face, swearing to the heavens, she had only given them a little guidance.
As for developing to this point, it was entirely due to Gobta and the others already being full of mischievous ideas.
After Rimuru almost talked herself hoarse, she finally managed to slightly salvage her magnificent image in the hearts of Shizue and the others.
A while later.
Phobio and the other beast warriors from the Beastman Kingdom, who were doubting life, were brought in by Benimaru and the others.
Gobta and the others' one-on-one fight, although very creative and full of flavor, was still somewhat lacking in the face of absolute strength.
In the end, Benimaru made his move, successfully greeting Phobio and the others from strangers to half-cooked with a move called "Fiery Greeting."
Cough!
Phobio coughed, a puff of black smoke coming from his mouth.
He stubbornly looked at Rimuru, arrogantly saying, "You are the Master of this town, Rimuru?"
Rimuru looked left and right, then said, "If there's no one else named Rimuru, then it's me!"
Phobio sneered, "I am the First Warrior of the Beastman Beast Corps of the Beast Kingdom, and the most trusted right-hand man of My Lord Carrion, the Beast King. I advise you to release us quickly. If we die here, My Lord Carrion will definitely flatten your so-called Demon Country Federation!"
Hmm?
Benimaru, Shion, Souei, Hakuro, and the others, their demonic aura around them surged.
Joking with Rimuru is one thing, but insulting My Lord means death for the subordinate!
In front of Rimuru-sama, what does a mere Demon Lord count for?
"So strong!"
Phobio was utterly stunned.
What's going on with this Demon Country Federation?
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Shion kept clenching her fists, her eyes crimson, a crazed smile on her face.
"Don't worry, I will absolutely not kill you. I will leave you with one breath!"
Phobio was bewildered.
My goodness, who exactly are these people from the Demon Country Federation?
Phobio's face was pale with panic, and his heart was even more panicked!
He bluffed, "I am My Lord Carrion, the Beast King's favorite trusted general. Do you really want to completely fall out with My Lord Carrion? You need to think carefully, this is war!"
Shion hesitated slightly.
"War, huh?"
Rimuru stroked her chin and took out several Recovery Potions.
Seeing Rimuru take out the Recovery Potions, Phobio revealed a victorious smile.
"That's right, if you dare to lay a hand on me, My Lord Carrion will absolutely not let you off. If you know what's good for you, quickly and obediently offer this town to My Lord Carrion!"
Rimuru glanced at Carrion and instructed Shion, "Feel free to hit him. When he's down to his last breath, give him a Recovery Potion, then continue hitting him. The Demon Country Federation is in its early stages of development and lacks all kinds of resources, but we can't treat our own people badly, and we can't treat our guests badly either. Recovery Potions are plentiful!"
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Shion's fists cracked loudly, "Understood, Rimuru-sama!"
Shion licked her red lips, smiling sweetly as she looked at Phobio, "Our Demon Country Federation is the most hospitable. Tonight, let me serve you well; I will definitely make you so comfortable you can't breathe!"
Phobio's face turned ashen.
He directly shouted a famous phrase he had heard from a human adventurer before—Yamate!
