718: Chapter 507 Hobgoblin Giant_3 718: Chapter 507 Hobgoblin Giant_3 “Could we bring one over to have a look?” Not only Gaven, but everyone else’s curiosity had been piqued as well.
“Sure,” the Hobgoblin Warlord stood up and left, and when he returned, he was followed by two exceptionally large Hobgoblins.
Seeing them, everyone couldn’t help but stand up, because even while standing, they had to crane their necks to look up, including Nola and Kellysha who excelled in this respect.
As Blood Claw had said, they were pure Hobgoblins, resembling ordinary Hobgoblins with no difference in appearance, just significantly larger in size.
The Hobgoblin Warlord pointed to the larger one on the left and said, “This is Leo, three and a half ters tall, the tallest among these Hobgoblin Giants, and he is currently the commander of my infantry legion.
This is Thomas, three ters and one tall, the shortest among them, and he is my cavalry commander.
The rest of the Hobgoblin Giants have been ford into the Blood Claw Guard Brigade, led by personally.”
A height of over three ters one is unquestionably within the Giant race.
In Felen, humanoids larger than a dium size are all categorized as Giants; Trolls and Ogres are also considered part of the Giant family.
Then there are beings like Golia, averaging two ters twenty-three, very close to the upper limit of dium size (two ters fifty), yet below it, who are then known as Half-Giants.
However, compared to true Giants, these Hobgoblin Giants fall a bit short, as even the shortest Hill Giants start at four ters tall.
“How about their combat prowess?” What Gaven was most concerned about was their strength, as sotis size doesn’t signify everything.
“Even the least of them is an Elite of a Goblin Tribe, many are Commanders or Leaders,” boasted Blood Claw with pride, “In equal number and size, they are invincible on foot.”
“Invincible on foot?” As soon as this phrase was spoken, the eyes of the human Commanders unintentionally fell on Kellysha, for this adjective had previously been used to describe them.
In the eyes of this female Goliath, a clear fla of eagerness flared.
Blood Claw keenly noticed the odd atmosphere and quickly asked, “Is there a problem?”
Gaven explained with a smile, “We haven’t had the chance to introduce her; this is Kellysha, from the Mountain Tribe.
The Goliath Battle Group she leads is also known as ‘invincible on foot.'”
“I see,” said the Hobgoblin Warlord sowhat regretfully, “It’s a pity that there is a difference in size between the two groups, otherwise, we could have matched in number for a friendly sparring to see who is truly ‘invincible on foot.’
“That’s not a problem,” declared Kellysha, full of fighting spirit, “Our racial trait as Goliahs is to be considered a size larger in strength classification.
This is enough to offset the difference in size, and we Goliahs have always loved challenges.
Having you as our opponent would be our greatest honor.”
“This…” The Hobgoblin Warlord’s gaze involuntarily fell on Gaven.
It was his first encounter with the Goliath race, yet he couldn’t help being influenced by their strong desire to fight, feeling an itch to try his hand in combat.
Hobgoblins, being a naturally warlike race, never shied away from any challenge.
Gaven, after a brief consideration, said, “Agreed, but in this friendly sparring, let’s stop at the point of contact, and each side will bring fifty people.”
Goblins and Hobgoblins in Thacel, could be said to have a bad reputation.
At least a third of the exodus army was forced to leave their hos due to the unrest they stirred up.
Even though his own reputation within the exodus army had grown, when they saw the Blood Claw Legion, many still bore grudges, not to ntion accepting them.
To have these migrants fully accept the Blood Claw Legion, don’t even think about it in the short term.
The only way was to take a reverse approach, letting the migrants realize the terror of the Blood Claw Legion and think twice before doing anything foolish.
“Since you don’t fear being treated unfairly, we naturally see no reason not to answer your challenge.
When shall we begin?” Blood Claw readily said.
“We can start now,” Kellysha was even more forthright.
“Let’s save this matter for after the military council eting,” Gaven, who obviously could prioritize, said, “Since they are now your right-hand n, let them stay and participate in the eting.”
“Yes,” Blood Claw responded and didn’t bother setting up additional seats; he simply ordered the two Hobgoblin Giants to sit on the ground.
Even so seated, they were still taller than everyone else present.
“Since your regular warriors can also be replenished, this suggests that such gigantic transformation is not common and exists only in the minority.
What’s the general ratio?” Gaven didn’t look at Blood Claw as he asked this question, but directed his gaze towards the two Hobgoblin Giants.
Hmph!
The two Hobgoblin Giants snorted coldly, their eyes turned skyward, completely ignoring Gaven.
They might have known about Gaven’s background, but that didn’t an they would pay him any attention.
The Hobgoblin Warlord’s face turned red with anger; he stood up abruptly, shouting, “Lord is asking you, what kind of attitude is this?
If next ti you show this sa attitude, Lord might forgive you, but I won’t.”
Leo held his head high, his face defiant, said, “I’ve always wondered, General, why do you submit to a Human?
One who isn’t even Transcendent!
These people couldn’t withstand one round of charge from our legion.”
Blood Claw felt his scalp tingle and nearly died of anger; he simply wanted to show his Lord the powerful warriors he had just acquired, forgetting they were not born of the True God Blood Oath.
Even with his constant reminders, they still felt no recognition towards Gaven.
With a ring, he drew his Longsword and directly charged at Leo.
The Hobgoblin Warlord was decisive; a warrior might be hard to co by, but compared to Gaven’s trust, he counted for nothing.
Leo hadn’t expected Blood Claw to draw his sword and attack without another word, but his reaction wasn’t slow.
His arms, thicker than an ordinary person’s waist, forcefully pushed against the ground, muscles bulging, and he sprang up while still seated.
As Blood Claw raised his sword to attack again, Gaven sternly shouted, “Blood Claw General, this is not the fundantal way to solve such issues.
If we go by your thod, you’ll have to personally execute any of your slightly more powerful subordinates in the future.”
The Hobgoblin Warlord kneeled with both hands on his sword, his face full of guilt and asking for punishnt, “It’s my lack of discipline, please administer punishnt, my Lord.”
“As he questions my capability, let him witness it himself.
Co, let see what makes you so brazen.” Gaven stood up and walked directly to the center of the eting area.
As he walked, his body began to undergo a transformation.
