Combat Maid Harem

"Team up?"

Lawrend widened his eyes in surprise. Teaming up would mean that he and Aleshia would fight together. But he is aware that he has no battle experience whatsoever.

"Yes, Young Master. This is our only chance."

Aleshia solemnly nodded her head at Lawrend. If they didn't team up now, she would exhaust herself fighting the goblins alone before dying.

"Okay."

Lawrend clenched his fist as the anticipation for his first battle built up inside him. Yet, there was also a mixture of dread and unease towards the unforeseeable result of this battle.

"What do we do, Aleshia?"

Lawrend asked her because she was the one who has more battle experience than he does. It would be suicide if he was the one to lead their battle right now.

"Young Master, I'll knock most of them into a pile, and you will cast your electric spell to kill them."

Aleshia knows that Lawrend could only use the spell once a day, so she wasn't expecting him to help her that much. Instead, what she wanted to do was for them to work together to eliminate the goblins.

"I understand."

Lawrend didn't think much of it but rather nodded his head. His heart rapidly beat in nervousness as he and Aleshia disembarked from the carriage.

When Lawrend jumped down from the carriage, he saw tens of goblins lined up on each side. The goblins are green-skinned creatures with a body similar to a malnourished kid. They all have long pointy ears and a snout-like nose.

The goblins were throwing rocks one after another, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.

A goblin spotted them and screeched before they all halted and crouched. The first thought in Lawrend's mind was that the goblins were hiding, but he couldn't have guessed otherwise.

The goblins stood back up, and this time, they were all carrying sloppily made wooden spears. The moment they stood up, they charged at Lawrend and Aleshia.

"Young Master, run!"

Aleshia shouted at Lawrend. Lawrend followed her as they ran through the dirt road.

After running for several tens of meters, Lawrend and Aleshia slowed down.

"Hahhh… Hahh.. Why did we run?"

Lawrend asked her as he panted.

"If we didn't run, we would be encircled and easily killed."

Aleshia explained to Lawrend. The goblins were to their left and right. If they didn't run, they would be facing them from both directions, and Aleshia doesn't think Lawrend would be able to stall the goblins on his side.

"I- I see."

Lawrend looked at the goblins who have grouped together. There were at least 20 of them. They all had savage looks in their eyes as they ran after them.

"Ready, Young Master?" f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

Aleshia asked Lawrend and went in front of him.

"Yes!"

Lawrend replied seriously. In this fight, his life is in her hands.

Aleshia pulled out her dagger from her skirt. She closed her eyes as she inhaled a long breath and released it. When she entered the range of the goblin's spears, she opened her eyes and moved.

Aleshia dodges the first goblin and smacks the back of its head with the back of her hand, causing it to flop to the ground in unconsciousness.

The goblins were startled by her attack, and they all focused their attention on her. They screeched with hoarse voices before attacking her.

"Hup!"

Aleshia somersaulted in the air to escape their encirclement. But, fortunately, both their spears and height are too short to reach her, who was flipping high above.

Aleshia landed on her foot and stabbed the back of a confused goblin's neck. The goblin tried to find where she went when it suddenly felt a dagger dig into its neck.

"Skreeighhh…"

The goblin screamed in agony before it slowly lost its life.

By this time, the other goblins had already seen her; They all watched as a fellow goblin died in front of them.

The goblins didn't immediately attack. Instead, they observed her carefully. Aleshia stood on guard and took advantage of this opportunity to regain some stamina.

A slightly taller goblin walked towards the front and released a loud screech.

"SKRIEEEE!!!"

The moment the screech sounded out, all of the goblins attacked her in sync. It was as if they were on steroids as their attacks became more fatal.

Seeing that the goblin's teamwork has increased, Aleshia pulled a pill from under her clothes and swallowed it. Then she pulled a glass orb filled with green clouds of poison gas. Although she was very reluctant to use this, she has no choice but to use it right now.

"Die!"

Aleshia threw the glass orb in front of their tracks. The glass orb broke, and its poisonous gas contents immediately exploded into the surroundings.

Aleshia ran towards Lawrend; she used her fingers to open Lawrend's jaw before pushing another pill deep into his mouth with her other fingers. Lawrend almost choked on the pill when she suddenly pushed it into his mouth, but in the end, he managed to swallow it.

Lawrend's right hand touched his throat as he looked at her in displeasure.

"What was that pill?"

Lawrend asked as he massaged his throat.

"It is the antidote for that poison."

Aleshia explained to him. She panted quite heavily as she stood beside him.

Lawrend and Aleshia turned their heads to watch as most of the goblins were knocked out from the poison gas. Some were still standing, but soon after, they also fell unconscious. Even though it didn't go as she had planned, it was still better than being attacked by enraged goblins.

A few goblins had escaped the poison gas cloud and looked on in dread as their fellow goblins lay unconscious on the ground.

They screeched towards Aleshia before they disappeared into the thick grassy plains.

"W-what was that poison gas?"

Lawrend turned his head to Aleshia, terrified. It knocked out all of the goblins that touched it. He wasn't even sure if they were just knocked out or they were actually killed. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"It's my contingency."

Aleshia gave Lawrend a sassy look before walking towards the goblins to inspect them.

"Contingency?"

Lawrend awkwardly repeated. He could guess what she means with her tone of voice, and he was unsure whether to be thankful that she has it or to be scared that she has it to guard against him.

Aleshia ignored him before kicking some of the goblins to make sure that none of them were awake.

"Alright, time to kill them, Young Master."
