Zongman: Reincarnation in the Other World, but Goblin
Page 152
And I’m afraid that by then, both His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Giorlar and the beautiful Second Princess whom he bravely rescued would probably try their best to make this happen.
After rehearsing the possible next steps in his mind, Grey Joy made a veiled gesture to the knights surrounding him, then slightly adjusted his expression, and took a step forward with an angry look on his face.

Chapter 289: An ant trying to shake a tree, ridiculous and overestimating oneself
“Princess Norn, don’t be fooled by this guy!”
“If I’m guessing correctly, the guy in front of you who looks like a human is probably the heroic goblin who brought us to this situation!”
“He just wanted to tease you. Even if you really did something, this guy will never let us go!”
Grey Joy pointed at Lorraine, who was standing in front of Norn with a disguised gentle smile on his face, with a somewhat angry expression. He seemed to be too excited and could not help but take two steps forward, as if to block Lorraine in front of him and protect the Second Princess of the Kingdom of Giorlar behind him.
The knights of Grey Joy’s guard regiment seemed to be somewhat concerned about the safety of their master, and subconsciously clung to him tightly, with an attitude of being willing to die for the master’s humiliation. They stared at Lorraine with sharp eyes, as if they would rush up to fight him to the death without hesitation if he made the slightest move.
However, facing this tense situation, Luo Lin did not show any nervousness or fear. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. His eyes were as calm as water, and it seemed that he did not take the threats of these people seriously at all.
At this moment, Lorraine’s figure seemed particularly tall, as if he was the master of this land. And those originally arrogant knights seemed so small and powerless in front of him.
Faced with Grey Joy’s sudden outburst, both the second princess Norn, who was involved in the incident, and the adventurers who had become very shrewd after constantly struggling between life and death, all keenly grasped a word that sounded somewhat unfamiliar.
Heroic Goblin?!
Although no one knew how His Royal Highness Prince Grey confirmed the other party’s identity, many people couldn’t help but reveal a look of sudden enlightenment when they thought about the various actions of those very smart goblins that were different from ordinary monsters.
It is said that heroic goblins are born with the smartest and most cunning brains. With their leadership, the originally lowly and humble goblins can burst out with extremely terrifying power.
Now it seems that this rumor is not just empty talk or illusion.
I’m afraid that what they encountered was the goblin tribe led by the heroic Golinbu!
And now, as the most powerful brain of the entire goblin tribe, this heroic goblin seemed to think that the overall situation had been decided. He stood in front of them so openly, and his eyes revealed his greed and desire for Princess Noren.
Thinking of this, many very smart adventurers looked gratefully at Prince Gray who pointed out all this secretly, and some even quietly tightened their weapons again.
They had understood Prince Grey’s hint and knew that this was the only chance for them, the captives, to turn the tables!
As for the Second Princess of the Kingdom of Giolal, Muren suddenly thought of something and raised his head and asked the calm Lorraine:
“It’s you? You’re the one who kidnapped my sister?!”
According to the descriptions of the guards who later returned to the royal city, the long-lost First Princess of the Giorlar Kingdom disappeared without a trace in the Shadow Forest because she wanted to leave a weak goblin in the goblin’s nest as material for magic experiments.
Even though the guards had swept the entire nearby area at that time, the mysteriously disappeared First Princess and the goblin seemed to have vanished out of thin air.
Now it seems that there is a mysterious goblin tribe around this Maple Leaf Town. She is afraid that her sister was abducted by these heroic goblins!
Thinking about the disappearance of her sister due to the lowly goblin, and how the royal family of their Kingdom of Giorlar had been often belittled and ridiculed by those gossipy ministers and ladies, the Second Princess was deeply affected and could not help but feel a surge of anger in her heart.
From Lorraine’s perspective, Lorraine had naturally noticed the little movements of Prince Grey, whom he had always been paying special attention to.
Grey Joy thought he was a good actor, but he didn’t know that his subtle gestures, the movements of the guards, the changes in the expressions of the survivors in Maple Leaf Town, and the little trick of this man who obviously couldn’t hide his thoughts and could only clumsily use Freya’s disappearance as an excuse to vent his anger and divert his attention…
To Lorraine, all these things were like lines on the palm of your hand, clear at a glance, and he knew everything!
The reason why he stood so openly in this position, and did not move at all even if he discovered these people’s little thoughts and actions, was not because of the greed and lust that were inherent in the goblins in these people’s stereotypes.
It was simply because his strength was strong enough, strong enough to make all these people’s little tricks unable to cause any waves.
What’s more, it’s just a heroic goblin?
Lorraine’s goal is to become the God of Goblins!
One step, two steps, three steps…
As he got closer and closer to Lorraine, Grey Joy couldn’t help but reveal an indescribable nervousness and excitement in his eyes.
He made a sudden gesture with his hand that was subconsciously behind his back, and then, the knights of the guard team who had been following him closely, almost in an instant, turned from weak little lambs into the most ferocious tigers, and rushed towards Lorraine fearlessly as if they could capture him with just a stretch of their hands!
At the same time, those adventurers who had already figured out the situation early on were merciless and used their strongest moves, targeting the heroic goblin who seemed to be their last hope.
As for the second princess, Norn, who was tied up and could only look angrily at the many people who were laughing at and mocking her, she stared at Lorraine who seemed to be scared silly, and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
However, in just a blink of an eye, the Second Princess, who already thought the situation had turned around, quickly lost her elation on her face, and was replaced by panic, shock, fear, and a hint of regret and deep despair that she had not even noticed.
The magic five-eyed gun that appeared in Lorraine’s palm at some point exploded with a bang, and several knights of the guard regiment around Grey Joy were splashed with large clouds of blood mist before they even got close to Lorraine.
The petite figure who had been standing silently behind Lorraine, as if acting as a tool, raised the huge crossbow at an extremely fast speed.
Just a few shots at the head were enough to completely pin down the group of adventurers who were shouting and preparing to rush forward.
Looking at Prince Grey standing in front of him, whose expression quickly changed from smugness to fear and terror, Lorraine glanced meaningfully at the second princess Norn, who was lying on the ground but still had a graceful figure. Then he raised his hand and gently patted Grey Joy, whose body began to tremble uncontrollably.
………………
Chapter 290 A small punishment
“Your guess is correct. This goblin army is indeed under my command, Your Highness, the Prince of the Gray Kingdom.”
“But, are you overlooking one thing?”
Gently patting the prince’s face, which had become numb and desperate, and whose face was still handsome despite being covered in blood and dust, Lorraine said softly word by word:
“The reason why I dare to appear before you so openly is not because I have a powerful army.”
“It’s simply because my own strength is enough to crush all of you!”
As he spoke, Lorraine glanced at the survivors of Maple Leaf Town who were afraid of the consequences and in despair, and said with a chuckle, “You are very lucky. You are very lucky. Even in the battle with the dragon, you have managed to survive until now, and you were even driven to this place alive by my army. This is enough to prove that you are the most elite among humans!”
“To be honest, I feel a little sorry for his talent…”
“but!”
“The reason I spared your lives is not to allow you to use this life I gave you to turn around and dream of attacking me!”
“So, tell me, how should I punish you?”
The cold fingers gently stroked the handsome cheek of Grey Joy, the mastermind of the rebellion. Prince Grey was once so high-spirited, but now he was so desperate. He could only pray with despair that Lorraine would give him a quick death.
“No, no!”
“Please, let us go!”
“We don’t dare anymore!”
“Please be merciful and spare our lives!”
Hearing that Lorraine was going to punish them, the survivors of Maple Leaf Town begged for mercy, their voices filled with fear and despair.
They knew that they had made a big mistake, and if they could not get Lorraine’s forgiveness, only death would await them.
“Huh, you guys are ridiculous!”
“Didn’t you want to kill me before? Why are you begging for mercy now?”
“Do you think I will let you go so easily?”
Lorraine said with a sneer, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he was very disdainful of these people’s pleas for mercy.
“No, no, please believe us, we really know we are wrong!”
“We are willing to do anything for you, as long as you let us go!”
“Please give us a chance to make up for our mistakes!”
Grey Joy also quickly begged for mercy, his face was as pale as paper and his eyes were full of despair and fear.
He knew that his fate was in Lorraine’s hands, and if he could not obtain Lorraine’s forgiveness, he would face the threat of death.
“Well, since you admit your mistakes so sincerely, I will give you a chance.”
Lorraine suddenly laughed, with a strange smile on his face.
His eyes swept over everyone present, as if he was looking for something interesting.
“However, this opportunity is not so easy to get.”
“You must prove your sincerity with your actions.”
Lorraine continued, a hint of amusement in his voice.
He seemed to want to see what these people could do in exchange for his forgiveness.
“Don’t worry, we will definitely work hard!”
“Whatever you ask us to do, we’ll do it!”
Grey Joy replied quickly, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
He knew he had to seize this opportunity, otherwise only death would await him.
But soon, with Lorraine’s casual pull, a sharp pain came from the side of Grey Joy’s cheek.
Amidst waves of painful wails, Grey Joy covered his bleeding ear with his hands, hunched over and rolling on the ground.
Lorraine, who was standing in front of him, threw a small ear with some disgust to a goblin warrior who had performed very well in the previous cleanup.
Just like taking a small bite of cold dish, the goblin seemed to have no idea of the taste and swallowed the reward from Lorraine in one gulp. Then, it cast a greedy and expectant gaze on the survivors who had expressions of fear on their faces.
It was at this moment that the survivors, whose hearts were filled with hope of escaping and deep contempt for the goblin race, seemed to have just remembered this.
The one who surrounded them but did not kill them was not a human army, but an army of monsters.
They are man-eating monsters!
After pulling off one of Greyjoy’s ears as punishment, Lorraine kicked the foreign prince who might inherit the throne soon aside, then slowly walked to the second princess Norn, who was lying on the ground in frustration because of being tied up and finally realized the situation, and slowly squatted down.
At this moment, it seemed that she had finally completely realized her identity and the current situation. The princess, who had been extremely proud even when she was tied up, now looked at Lorraine walking towards her as if she was looking at the most terrifying devil in the world, with trembling and fear in her eyes.
“Princess, please tell me, how should I punish you now?”
Deep down, Lorraine didn’t really have any good feelings towards her cheap sister-in-law.
Just like Freya before, no, or rather, the original Freya’s perverseness and arrogance were enough to show how dirty and filthy these royal members of the Kingdom of Giorlar were deep in their hearts.
Fortunately, after being trained and educated by him, Freya is no longer as violent as she used to be. However, this Second Princess is not as noble and elegant as she appears to be, and she still needs some training.
It’s just like training wolves and training eagles in the previous life.
The reason why the second princess Norn still questioned him about Freya even when she was captured was not because of their deep sisterly love, but simply to vent how shameful the royal family of their Kingdom of Giorlar was because of Freya’s disappearance.
The reason why Norn was tied up but still did not realize her current situation and identity was that she relied only on her noble status as a princess and the powerful Kingdom of Giorlar behind her.
In fact, this is essentially the self-esteem and pride inherent in the eagle and the wolf.
The first step in training eagles and wolves is to break down their pride.
For animals, going hungry and not being able to rest for days and nights is a struggle of spirit and will with their trainers; the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
But for humans, the method is simpler.
First, remove the Second Princess’ outer coat and protective shell in public, humiliating and torturing her to the extreme.
Under such circumstances, the pride and complacency of the noble royal family members would turn into the sharpest thorns, causing people to go from one extreme to another with a huge gap.
In certain circles in Lorraine’s previous life, there was a very niche word called evil depravity. Of course, there was also a word with a slightly higher audience, called contrast.
Gently patting the second princess Norn’s cheek, Lorraine raised his hand and took a long and thin whip from a ghost warrior.
As Lorraine’s wrist shook slightly, he gently swung the whip in his hand, and a crisp explosion sound spread in the air.
The sound was like a sharp sword, piercing the air and making people feel cold.
When the second princess Norn heard the explosion, her body trembled violently like a frightened bird.
She thought she had escaped, but then a sharp pain and swelling surged up her back, sweeping over her like a tide.
She couldn’t bear the pain and finally couldn’t help but wail loudly.
Under the second princess Norn’s gorgeous clothes, her back, which was originally as white as snow and as smooth as jade, now had a long and intermittent red mark.
The red mark was like a winding poisonous snake, ruthlessly corroding her skin.
It is like a random graffiti on a piece of white paper, destroying the original tranquility and beauty.
This red mark not only brought severe physical pain to the second princess, but also filled her heart with fear and humiliation.
Then, ignoring Norn’s cries of pain, Lorraine, with an expressionless face, raised and lowered his hands. With a series of crisp explosions, Norn’s clothes, which were tied up, gradually became torn, revealing the hideous red marks underneath.
Of course, because he had already decided to use this sacred physique as the final punishment, although Lorraine struck very hard, he still intentionally or unintentionally avoided the second princess Norn’s beautiful cheeks and several other key positions.
