Transported To Another Dimension

Chapter 07 – The Goblin Horde



The midday sun bathed Eldergrove in a golden glow, casting long shadows across the newly constructed military base. Khalid stood at the heart of the encampment, surrounded by a diverse group of villagers and their legendary allies. The events of the past days had forged a new sense of unity, and now they were ready to summon their military units to face the impending threat of the Iron Dominion and the growing horde of goblins that lurked beyond the treeline.

Khalid recalled the translucent interface that had appeared when he first arrived in this new world—a glowing window that detailed the mechanics of summoning. With a deep breath, he closed his eyes and focused on the system that had been bestowed upon him. He envisioned the kind of military units he wanted to summon, visualizing strong, capable fighters who could withstand the chaos of battle.

The familiar screen flickered to life before him:

[Summon Units]

Available Units:

  1. Infantry
  2. Special Forces
  3. Air Support
  4. Heavy Artillery
  5. Heroic Units
  6. Female Soldiers (Elite Class)

Khalid felt a surge of excitement as he scrolled through the options. “I’ll summon female soldiers,” he murmured, “Elite Class.” With determination, he selected the unit and pressed the confirm button.

[Summoning... Please Wait...]

The air crackled with energy, and a portal of shimmering light opened before Khalid. The villagers and Optimus Prime stood back, their eyes wide with anticipation. From the portal, a group of female soldiers emerged, each one exuding confidence and grace. They were clad in sleek tactical gear that accentuated their strength, with an assortment of weapons at their sides. Their presence brought a wave of awe and respect from the villagers.

“Welcome, warriors!” Khalid called, his voice booming with authority. “You have been summoned to assist us in our fight against the goblin horde. We face a relentless enemy, and your skills will be crucial in our struggle for survival.”

The soldiers stood at attention, their eyes sharp and focused. The leader stepped forward, her dark hair pulled back into a tight braid, and her eyes shimmering with determination. “We are ready to serve. What are your orders?”

“Thank you for answering the call,” Khalid replied, feeling the weight of leadership settle on his shoulders. “We need to fortify our defenses and prepare for the goblins’ attack. Our intelligence indicates they are gathering strength, and it won’t be long before they strike.”

“Understood, Commander,” the leader responded. “We’ll position ourselves on the flanks, ready to intercept and engage any goblin forces that breach our defenses.”

As the female soldiers fanned out, Khalid couldn’t help but admire their professionalism. They moved with purpose, coordinating seamlessly as they established a perimeter around the village. Archers climbed to rooftops, while others positioned themselves strategically behind barricades, ensuring they had clear lines of sight for potential ambushes.

Optimus Prime stepped closer to Khalid, his voice steady and calm. “You have summoned well, Khalid. These soldiers will be an invaluable asset against the goblin horde.”

“Thank you, Optimus,” Khalid replied, feeling a surge of confidence. “With their skills and our combined strength, we can face whatever challenges lie ahead.”

Just then, a loud horn sounded in the distance, echoing through the valley. Khalid turned, his heart racing. “That’s our warning signal!” he shouted. “The goblins are on the move!”

The elite female soldiers moved swiftly, their focus shifting as they prepared for battle. Khalid took his place at the front lines, alongside Kira, who had rallied the archers and fortified the village’s defenses.

“Remember your training!” Kira shouted to the archers, her voice ringing with authority. “Stay calm and aim true! We will hold the line!”

As the horn echoed again, the ground trembled beneath the weight of the approaching goblin horde. Khalid peered into the distance and saw the mass of green-skinned creatures pouring out of the forest, their numbers overwhelming. They were armed with crude weapons—rusty swords, jagged daggers, and makeshift shields—charging with reckless abandon toward Eldergrove.

“Archers, prepare to fire!” Kira commanded, her bowstring taut and ready. “Aim for their leaders first!”

Khalid raised his hand, signaling the female soldiers to take their positions. “We need to create a bottleneck! Let them come closer before we engage!”

The female soldiers nodded, positioning themselves behind the barricades. Khalid could feel the tension in the air, an electric anticipation that made his heart race. He watched as the goblins drew closer, their shrieks and battle cries piercing the air.

“Now!” Kira shouted. “Loose arrows!”

The sound of twanging bows filled the air as arrows flew toward the oncoming horde. Many goblins fell before they could reach the walls, their bodies collapsing to the ground in a chaotic tangle of limbs. The villagers cheered, their confidence bolstered by the initial success.

But the goblin horde pressed on, relentless and furious. “Get ready for melee combat!” Khalid called out to the elite soldiers. “They’ll be on us in moments!”

As the first wave of goblins reached the barricades, the female soldiers sprang into action. They moved with an incredible fluidity, their training evident as they engaged the enemy with expert precision. Swords clashed, and the sound of battle filled the air as the soldiers fought fiercely, defending their newfound home.

Khalid watched in awe as one soldier—a stunning woman with fiery red hair—leaped into the fray. She spun, delivering a powerful kick that sent a goblin flying into the air. In the same motion, she unsheathed her sword, slicing through the air with a grace that belied her strength.

“Stay together!” she shouted to her comrades, her voice ringing with authority. “Focus on taking them down one at a time!”

Khalid could see the camaraderie among the soldiers as they fought. They worked together seamlessly, flanking the goblins, cutting through their ranks with precision and skill. Every strike was calculated, every movement purposeful, and their confidence radiated through the battlefield.

“Here they come!” Kira yelled, signaling for another volley of arrows. The archers let loose, raining death upon the goblins that dared to advance.

Just as Khalid felt a surge of hope, a massive goblin warrior—a brute towering over his kin—charged through the chaos. He wielded a massive club, and his eyes burned with fury as he barreled toward the barricade.

“Watch out!” Khalid shouted. “That one’s going to break through!”

The female soldiers quickly regrouped, their eyes locking onto the brute. The leader raised her sword, her expression fierce. “We’ll take him down together! On my mark!”

“Now!” she shouted, and the soldiers launched themselves toward the massive goblin.

With expert teamwork, they flanked the brute, striking from all sides. The goblin swung his club wildly, but the soldiers dodged and countered with their weapons, chipping away at his defenses.

Khalid felt a surge of adrenaline as he joined the fray. He charged toward the brute, raising his weapon and joining the assault. “Keep hitting him! Don’t let up!”

The clash of steel and the grunts of battle filled the air as they fought valiantly. The brute roared in frustration, his wild swings failing to connect with the agile soldiers. Khalid struck with determination, finding gaps in the goblin’s armor and landing blows that brought the creature closer to defeat.

“Now! Strike together!” the leader of the soldiers shouted, raising her sword high.

In a synchronized movement, they all attacked, focusing their strikes on the goblin’s exposed side. The brute staggered, his breath coming in ragged gasps as the combined assault overwhelmed him.

With a final, powerful blow from the leader’s sword, the goblin warrior fell to the ground with a thunderous crash. The battlefield fell silent for a moment, the tide of the battle shifting in favor of Khalid and his soldiers.

“Victory!” Khalid shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield. The villagers erupted in cheers, their spirits lifted by the triumph.

But the fight was far from over. Khalid could see the goblin horde still advancing, their numbers seemingly endless. “We need to press our advantage!” he called. “Let’s push them back!”

The female soldiers rallied, their eyes gleaming with determination. They moved as one, a fierce unit ready to face the next wave of foes. With Khalid leading the charge, they surged forward, engaging the goblin horde head-on, the sound of battle roaring around them.

The battle raged on, a chaotic symphony of clashing steel and guttural roars echoing across the landscape. Khalid felt adrenaline coursing through his veins as he led the charge against the relentless goblin horde. The villagers, witnessing their newfound protectors, were emboldened, grabbing makeshift weapons and joining the fray alongside the elite soldiers.

“Form a line! We need to hold them back!” Khalid shouted, rallying the troops around him. The female soldiers quickly reorganized, positioning themselves to create a sturdy wall of steel against the oncoming goblin waves.

With the sun hanging high in the sky, the brightness illuminated the scene—a stark contrast to the darkness that the goblins brought with them. As they surged forward, their wild eyes filled with malice, Khalid couldn’t help but notice their numbers dwindling from the earlier onslaught. The archers on the rooftops continued to rain arrows, creating a deadly rain that sent goblins tumbling to the ground.

“Keep it steady!” the red-haired soldier shouted as she sliced through another goblin. “We’ve got this! They can’t withstand our resolve!”

Khalid glanced to his side, where Kira was effortlessly taking down goblin after goblin, her movements a blur of agility and precision. “You’re doing great, Kira!” he called out, pride swelling in his chest. “We need to keep the momentum going!”

With a nod, she replied, “Let’s push them back into the woods!”

The plan ignited a fire in Khalid’s heart. “All right! On my count—charge!” He counted down from three, his heart pounding in rhythm with the battle.

“One… Two… Three!”

With a united roar, they charged forward, breaking through the front lines of the goblins. Khalid swung his weapon with all his might, feeling the familiar rush of combat enveloping him. He dodged a wild swing from a goblin and countered with a powerful strike, sending the creature sprawling.

As they pushed deeper into the horde, Khalid spotted a group of goblin shamans hovering at the back, their twisted hands glowing with dark magic. “We need to take out those shamans!” he shouted to his troops. “They’re the ones empowering the goblins!”

“Leave it to me!” shouted the fiery-haired soldier, whose name Khalid had learned was Amina. She darted forward, expertly weaving through the chaos. With each goblin she dispatched, she moved closer to the shamans.

Khalid followed closely behind her, feeling a sense of unity in their mission. “Cover her! Don’t let any goblins get in her way!” he ordered, and the soldiers fanned out, engaging the nearest goblins to clear a path for Amina.

Amina’s sword gleamed as she engaged the first shaman. He raised his hands, chanting spells, but before he could complete his incantation, she was upon him. Her blade struck true, severing his focus and rendering his magic useless. The shaman collapsed, leaving behind a shocked expression.

“Keep going!” Khalid yelled, watching as Amina dispatched another shaman, the battlefield echoing with her battle cry. “We’re almost through!”

But the remaining goblins, realizing the threat posed by the elite soldiers, began to swarm. Khalid’s heart sank as he witnessed a new wave of brute goblins moving to intercept Amina. “Amina! Behind you!” he shouted, but it was too late.

She spun around just in time, deflecting a blow, but the sheer number of goblins bore down on her. Khalid felt a rush of anger surge through him, propelling him forward. “No! We won’t lose anyone!”

Khalid surged ahead, pushing through the fray, and with a determined battle cry, he thrust his weapon into the nearest brute, taking it down with a well-placed strike. He fought fiercely, channeling his military training and the instincts honed from countless battles in his previous life. The elite soldiers rallied around him, forming a protective barrier around Amina.

“Stay close!” Kira commanded, leading the charge beside him. “We’ll protect you!”

Khalid and his team formed a protective circle around Amina, slashing and cutting through the goblins. The soldiers fought with tenacity, each swing of their weapons carving a path through the chaos, their unity a formidable force.

With each goblin that fell, Khalid could see the tide turning. The remaining goblins hesitated, fear creeping into their ranks as they witnessed the prowess of Khalid’s soldiers. The camaraderie, the determination, and the unwavering will of these women fueled Khalid’s spirit, pushing him to fight harder.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek echoed through the battlefield, causing both goblins and soldiers to pause. Khalid’s heart raced as he turned, spotting the source of the sound—a massive goblin chieftain, larger and more intimidating than any they had faced before. He wielded a wickedly curved sword and wore armor made of bones, his eyes gleaming with fury.

“Fight! Fight for the Iron Dominion!” he bellowed, his voice booming. The goblins rallied around him, renewed by his presence.

“Focus on the chieftain!” Khalid shouted, his voice rising above the clamor. “We need to take him down to demoralize the rest!”

With a nod from Kira and Amina, they broke formation, charging towards the chieftain. Khalid’s heart pounded as they raced across the battlefield, their eyes locked on the formidable foe. The goblin chieftain swung his massive sword, but the trio moved in perfect sync, dodging and weaving to avoid his blows.

“Now!” Khalid shouted, directing Amina to flank the chieftain. She darted to the side, catching him off guard as Khalid and Kira engaged him head-on.

The chieftain swung wildly, his brute strength evident, but Khalid ducked under the blow, coming up behind him. “This ends now!” he yelled, raising his weapon for a final strike.

With all his strength, Khalid drove his weapon into the chieftain’s side, feeling the satisfying resistance as he pierced through. The chieftain howled in pain, staggering back. Kira seized the moment, thrusting her weapon deep into his heart, ending his reign of terror in a single blow.

As the chieftain fell, a hush descended over the battlefield. The goblins, once fierce and united, now faltered, their morale shattered by the loss of their leader. Khalid could see the fear in their eyes as they began to retreat, fleeing back toward the depths of the forest.

“Victory!” Khalid shouted, his voice filled with elation. The remaining soldiers erupted in cheers, their victory solidifying their bond even further.

But before they could celebrate, Khalid felt a sudden surge of energy. A glowing notification appeared in his peripheral vision:

[Quest Completed: Defend Eldergrove]
Rewards: 500 Experience Points, 50 Gold Coins, and a Rare Item: Goblin Chieftain’s Sword!

Khalid beamed with pride. “We did it!” he exclaimed, turning to his fellow soldiers. “This is just the beginning. Together, we can face whatever comes next!”

As they began to regroup, preparing to tend to the wounded and assess the battlefield, Khalid felt a renewed sense of hope. This world had thrown him into chaos, but it also offered him a chance to lead and to forge a new destiny for himself and his comrades.

With his military training and the unique powers bestowed upon him, Khalid knew that their battles were far from over. The Iron Dominion would not take their defeat lightly, and the true test of their strength lay ahead. But for now, they had triumphed, and together, they would prepare for whatever challenges awaited them.
