First chapter drew me in because of the rape be honest, some of you too , then it became interesting because of GS slight edge. But this whole setting is kind of dumb if you think about it. The first group got devastated because of their stupidity, not because how dangerous goblins are. The one man army called GS slaughters through them afterwards like they are nothing. Humans in general seem to be too imcompetent to deal with a threat of the strength and statue of a child, breed some fucking dogs and put on some guardsmen, it can't be that hard. If the people of europe were able to drive out wolves, they should be able to deal with some small goblins. The guild seems stupid as well and is a really video gamey addition, which makes this look like another isekai.
You lads read Goblin Slayer at all?
Goblins are literally so low on the threat level that it's a miracle that humans haven't been completely wiped out actually.
If a simple adventuring party can't handle goblins then fuck knows how they kill larger monsters. Even GS isn't that impressive once you actually think about it, he's literally slaughtering the most piss weak monsters.
I like that the guild lady totally deflated his edgy monologue after that scene.
You can tell it started as a one note parody.
That's kind of the whole point though.
There *ARE* liches and beholders and dragons and all kinds of other insane shit running around. The goblins aren't amassed in armies poised to wipe out humanity. As a result, everyone ignores them and the small towns and farmers are suffering from getting buttfucked by small raiding parties.
And no one wants to take the jobs because they pay so shit, so only fresh meat take the quests and die because they're idiots who bought into the whole "lol goblins 2 ez" meme.
It's like OP said about Tucker's Kobolds; if you underestimate them, you will get fucked.
>and the small towns and farmers are suffering from getting buttfucked by small raiding parties
Then fucking arm yourself, put on some simple defensive structures, breed some dogs. If they get buttfucked constantly they should adapt adequately and not beg a guild to help you.
They're farmers.
Farming isn't fast, nor is it easy, especially in a medieval setting. You have to do that shit all day, and then feed yourself, and wake up and sleep.
These are literally backwater peasants. They don't have the money or the means.
Adding to 's point gobbos are literally the size of children, an angry mob of farmers could quite easily overpower and kill them.
As for not having money or means, they have pitchforks. Lynch mobs were pretty popular when it came to witches, goblins would be fucking toast.
How occupied they are pretty much depends on the season. They already have enough tools in their shed that they can turn into weapons, spears can't be that expansive as well as some crossbows. Hell, some of them do probably some hunting, they should know how to kill a fucking child. And dogs. I will never get tired at pointing out dogs. Don't tell me dogs were too expansive in ye olden fantasy-middle ages.
And of course they have to sacrifice something. But do you think they will just keep on working like nothing happened, their livestock didn't got eaten and their daughters didn't got raped? No, they will for this season work less on a thing to eradicate these goblins, so they won't have that problem again.
you would have to deal with goblin poison and their extreme agility, though. low tier goblins may die in a single strike, but their small size and agility may be an extreme advantage on surprise attacks and hit-and-run tactics. i'd give a 50/50 chance for prepared dirt farmers to fight of a gob rape squad without suffering significant losses
also , it has yet to be stated how adaptable gobs are to new human tactics and such.
>and their extreme agility
Where is this stated?
