Isekai Adventure: Kingdom Building

I throw the fireball in my hand at the first wave of goblins coming out of the portal and watch as an explosion happens. I do not hesitate to throw another fireball at the enemies. I ignore the notification at the edge of my vision and only focus on the goblins.

"Shielder! Forward!"

I shout as the goblins get near and watch as the army of goblins crashes into the shield wall. I take out my sword and swing at the goblin that manages to slip past the formation. I duck underneath the sword and thrust my sword, then release a bolt of lightning at the next goblin.

Captain Jacob stands next to me and blocks an arrow that flies toward me.

I nod at him and say.

"Mage! Attack the backline! Don't let those archers release their arrows!"

I bark an order and move my body to dodge an incoming attack, then dash forward to arrive in front of the goblin spearman. I swing my sword and cut its head off, then dash to the next goblin to kill it as well.

I frowned a little as the number of goblins pouring out of the portal got bigger and bigger by the second. It is either the report is wrong, or monsters overfill the dungeons because no one is cleaning the dungeon.

I will ask the Adventurer Guild later. For now, I need to focus on the problem at hand.

I take a deep breath and manifest my [Fighting Spirit]. It is my will made manifest in the form of armor around my body. It will protect me and make sure I am not dead when I charge forward. With that done, I dash forward and start swinging.

I arrive in front of one of the goblins and swing my phantom sword, splitting it in half. I can feel myself enter a trance as I dash toward the next goblin and kill it before it can even react. I keep moving and swinging as I move around the battlefield. Blood mist appears around me as I kill as many goblins as fast as possible.

I can feel my body get more powerful the longer I fight, which boosts my speed to kill the monsters even more.

However, after thirty minutes of fighting, I retreated to the side. I release a sigh and wipe the sweat off my forehead. I watch as my people kill the goblins and see a small mountain of corpses appear around the battlefield.

I frowned a little as my men were hurt from the fight, and the healer was getting overwhelmed by the number of goblins. I need to reduce the number of monsters as much as possible. With a deep breath, I dash forward once again.

=== Line Break ===

[3rd POV]

The people at the backline can only watch in awe as their king fights like a war god. He moves around the battlefield like a flurry of deadly cyclones, leaving only a mist of blood behind as he butchers all the goblins in his path.

The goblins have a hard time attacking him as he kills them before they can react, and the one that manages to slip past his guard cannot injure him because of the golden light that acts as armor around him.

Captain Jacob grins from ear to ear as he is among the few people who follow the pace of their king and butcher their way through the battlefield. Five of them move around the battlefield, jumping, running, and rolling as they create a dance of death.

Without him knowing, Lukas already created a following by showing the world his martial power. It is not that impressive by this world standard, but to the regular people, it is something that they watch in awe.

The people of the village, which is not too far away from the dungeon, can only watch in awe as they see their king fight from on top of the wooden wall. As a commoner, they thought that a king is someone who is powerful so he can protect the kingdom, and what Lukas is doing seals that image in their mind.

As for the man himself, he is too focused on the battlefield and does not see or care what the people around him think about him.

He already kills over a hundred goblins by himself and intends to get the two-hundred mark, but he stops when he sees a massive goblin walking out of the portal.

"Your Highness! We need to retreat! That is Goblin General! It is a B-rank monster!"

Lukas nods his head and heeds Jacob's word. They retreat and watch as the mage bombard the Goblin General with their spells. However, the spells the mage cast do not reach the Goblin General as barriers appear around the general.

Lukas sees a new group of goblin shamans walk through the portal and cast their spells to protect the general.

"We need to kill those shamans."

"Wait for a second, Your Highness. Let the mage do their job before we enter the battlefield again."

Lukas nods and watches as the mage casts another wave of spells. This time, it is not an elemental attack but rather a curse. They weaken the opponent with curses.

"Now we can enter the battlefield."

"Take care of the shamans. I will kill the Goblin General."

Jacob looks at his king and nods his head. He trusts Lukas to kill the Goblin General, and if something happens, he is not too far away from him.

"Be careful, Your Highness."

Lukas nods and charges forward, entering the battlefield once again. He opens his move by firing a fireball toward the group of shamans next to the general. He watches them create a barrier in front of them, but that is a mistake, as Jacob and his people are already near them. They use this opening to dash toward them and deal a killing blow.

The general sees them coming, raises his butcher sword high, and swings it down. However, before he can do that, Lukas jumps and parries the massive sword. The Goblin General snarls and focuses on Lukas, who dashes forward and then swings his sword. Using his [Multihit] perk, he creates three attacks simultaneously at a single point on its leg.

The Goblin General roars in anger and pain as it raises its leg and stomps it to the ground. Lukas jumps away before he can become a pancake and raises his sword to block the incoming attack as the Goblin General swings down his sword.

"Fireball!"

Lukas throws a massive fireball to the monster's face, watching it scream in pain. He uses this opportunity to run toward the leg he injures and use his [Multihit] perk to good use as he continuously swings his sword at the previous point.

The Goblin General swings his leg and hits Lukas before he can block the incoming attack. Lukas grunts in pain as he can see a good chunk of his HP is gone, and some of his ribs are broken.

His body lands a dozen meters away, and the Goblin General jumps toward him with his sword pointing at him. Lukas grits his teeth and uses all his strength to jump away. He rolls on the ground, summons two more phantom swords, and fires at the Goblin General.

The Goblin General swings his sword to block all the incoming attacks, but that is not what Lukas wants. He uses the sword as a distraction as he appears behind the last sword and thrusts his sword.

The goblin swings his sword upward and parries Lukas' attack, but Lukas opens his left hand. A fireball flies out of it and hits the goblin right in the head. As he lands on the ground, Lukas dashes to the injured leg and swings his sword at that one point once again.

This time, his plan is working. With the help of [Multihit], he cut through the thick skin of the Goblin General and cut his leg off.

The Goblin General falls to the ground and exposes more of its weak points. Lukas jumps high and lands on the neck of the goblin. He creates another phantom sword and dual-wields them. He swings his sword at a high speed and cuts through the Goblin General's neck. Blood splatters out of the neck, and after a few seconds, the Goblin General releases one last roar before its hand falls to the ground lifelessly.

The other goblins start to retreat back to the portal when they see and feel their leader died in battle. The soldiers use this chance to butcher as many goblins as possible before they enter the dungeon once again.

After a couple of minutes, no goblins are left outside the dungeon, and Lukas raises his sword high in the air.

His soldiers mimic his actions, and they shout as one.

"Victory!"

The commoners in the village also mimic the declaration as they celebrate the victory against the dungeon break.
