Chapter 8: Goblin Party Hunt

I looked at the two leaving figures of my subordinates, after I have judged that their distance is already enough to have a broad range of searching capacity, I activated Hivemind, by which, I was immediately met by a bizarre sight, in my other eye, the view of what's in front of me (Trees, and then trees and more trees) and on the other two octagonal points of views, one higher indicating Lyra and one Lower which signifies Philo can be seen.

They are traveling at a searching pace despite not having free will, well in the description of [Necromancy], it tells that all of my undead will follow my will, so I guess they just kind of did it on an instinctual level huh?

Anyway, as I said, our goal is to find the Goblin Party in which Lyra came from and make them join my ranks, killing them to be my undead of course. The [Necromancy] skill has it so that in lower levels, I have to be the one who will kill the person whom I want to be my lackey, meaning that I have to be the one to deal the final blow to the party if I want to make them join my rank so I have put countermeasure commands into my subordinates for this such as not attacking recklessly and also, not kill anyone who shows hostility, just break them so much that they cannot fight back.

Also, because my strides are not too big to be able to transverse anywhere my servants are going, I ordered them to not wander so far and make our searching range less than fifty meters, yeah it is not that desirable of a distance if "searching" a whole ass goblin party is concerned, but their sight distance is pretty far and there will not be any problem despite the lack of distance.

This distance is the most optimal because, first, any one of us can immediately come aid each other, second because that distance is the range of the current hivemind, and lastly because... Well, the three of us have below-average strides, and as long as we didn't get stronger, we will not be able to increase that distance

Anyway, with the momentary stop for admiration of the new ability of my unique skill (I am standing here all the time actually), I also found a direction to search for.

Our plan is simple, we search for the goblin party until we found them, and if we did found them hide immediately Don't let the party identify your location and wait for reinforcements that will give further instructions depending on the situation.

This is probably more simple if I verbally explained it to them but I cannot speak to them until I grow bigger to be able to voice out verbal commands (coz I'm embarrassed), going back, we continued to look for the party that the former goblin girl that is now my subordinate came from and I noticed that I am the slowest of the group.

Philo jumped and dodged around the trees and bushes while Lyra, despite your (probably) stereotyping her as being slow because she is undead also jumped around on top of trees so that she can see from a much more "aerial" point. They are practically land and air troops, by a stretch.

After a while, she finally stopped... but there's no goblin part-

A mental message suddenly appeared in my head as I look at the dead fish's undead eyes of Lyra.

"I can't climb down."

Damnit, are you a cat!?

I immediately tried to help her, in which I spent several hours lobbing a vine that is flexible enough to be an impromptu rope by which she slowly, but at least surely climbed down.

I started to reprimand her in her mind just a monotone "sorry" word again and again is what I can get as a response, after that we continued searching, but still to no avail...

Well, I am just in the fourth week of my life so I got all time of my fucking life to wait for a bunch of goblins.

Got no choice but to be patient here

[3rd Person POV]

The bickering of Philo's master and the newbie is heard perfectly by the man... bunny in question, he doesn't have a feeling of emotion as of now, nor have any free will to feel anything but the twitching of his little tail up and down is a significant indication that he is not liking the newbie's attitude.

However, Philo, at least as of now is just living solely and purely for the will of his master, he ignored his emotions and dextrously transversed the direction he was assigned, he then suddenly stopped and Philo saw three people, two having shabby clubs in their hands, while the other is a caster with also shabby looking staff.

[Sophia's POV]

After a while, we stopped bickering and started to wonder if my gender identity then in my past life and now in my current one is the same, I finally saw three goblins that are frantically searching for someone.

It seems like they are searching for Lyra, but still, they look despaired and disoriented as if they are walking in a forest with blindfolds, I theorized that the most intelligent person with them in which is Lyra is gone, then they all turned into headless chickens. Well, I mean, I got to thank these guys for being stupid enough that even Philo staring at them literally in their backs while waiting for reinforcements is not noticed even by their backline (the caster).

I immediately ordered us to run into the place in which Philo is located, I looked at the caster and started to drool in my mind and I don't want to embarrass myself if I am drooling, the caster had this staff that looks shabby but still sturdily being used as a cane by the oldie goblin, the goblin have some burns in his hands (thanks for Philo's extraordinary vision, I can see those too) signifying a poor control of some fire magic, this is perfect, now I can make the caster help me learn my very first magic element ever since I was transmigrated.

The undead subordinates of mine can connect brains with me and with each other so in this evidence I can conclude that I can probably instruct my subordinates to teach me how to learn magic and train me, I am not a conventional master so I do not mind being thought of by my lacky.

I and Lyra dispersed as I ordered Philo to attack the back caster and for Lyra to go encircle us and arrive in the back of one of the club bearers and shoot his Achilles while I take on the other club guy.

The plan is simple, just soothe such simple organisms, I don't need to assert effort and according to Lyra, they are the only ones who transversed the forest right now, they are goblins after all, having no backup party for a situation like this... Well, good for us I think.

As I can't think nor can't see any problems right now except if the book went canceled that my simple yet for them not so simple plan to fail, I imagine as I saw my subordinates move in the fastest they can muster to accept my commands the great things I can do by having magic, I began to have a sinister smile on my face as at that moment, Emilio is officially gone and the daughter of the god of undead named Sophia is now present.

Though I cannot notice that right now for I am currently waiting for my subordinates to be in positions, I repeat, I will make Philo fully incapacitate the caster so that the party will lose the ranged attacker and at the same time secure the main goal of this goblin party hunt operation.

Second I positioned Lyra in our back, after which she will find the perfect opportunity to also incapacitate the other goblin with her arrows, I do not worry about lower performance capacity when I ordered Lyra to destroy the goblin's Achilles for the [Necromancy] unique skill restores any damage to the corpse with its magical threads, going back, I will practice my Spearmanship with the other club dude.

The goblins, seemingly trying to calm their nerves noticed us finally moving out and hastily picked up their weapons, pointing at me the only person in front of them that they can see, so their little minds presumed that I am their only enemy.

Well, it's showtime I guess.
