Chapter 10: Goblin Attack
Time left before attack: 1 hour left,
After a few minutes Ash started to see the preparation of his defense against the monster attack and after checking everything is good and well prepared for defense of the territory, he said to Evan, "Which weapon would you decide to take, sword or axe?"
Evan said to Ash with smile on his face, "He will like axe and he will give sword to Ram."
So, Ash said to Evan, "Give me the sword and I will give it to Ram," Evan said, "Okay," Ash nodded.
And he said to Evan, rest before the monster attack.
Ash thinks in mind "I hope he will rest and it will help him perform well in the defense of the city" and he started to walk towards the altar of the city.
After some few minutes,
Ash arrived at the front of the altar and he said loudly, here it is a low-grade sword and I put it here so you can take it and prepare yourself for the monster that will come at 1 hour after so get ready as much as you can.
Ram remained silent and Ash thinks he is busy recovering from his injury so he doesn't disturb him.
And he started to walk towards the place where the monster will attack.
After arriving here,
He started to think what should I do to increase my city's power. After some deep thought he said, my status window, and a pop-up window comes in front of Ash.

....
...
After Ash thinks in deep mind how can my city's defense and attack power increase so much, a few minutes deep thinking in mind, he started to believe it is the contribution of Ram.
Again, he thinks a level increase in a person really makes the defense and attack power of the city advance very fast. After all, Ram is injured very much and with very fatal injury, Ash thinks what would happen if Ram is healthy without any big injury and he feels the city's power will increase very much.
Ash started to think about "time left before attack" and he sees a pop-up window in front of his eyes.
....
Time left before attack: 40 mins
Ash started to breathe slowly and also started doing some meditation to decrease his nervousness.
And he said to himself in mind, my city's power increased, so why am I feeling nervous about that? After all, everyone comes to this world, some die someday, some die fast, some live very long lives. I hope to live a long life in this world, at least I will live for 1000 years and more.
Then Ash began to rest and wait for the monster attack, holding his gun in hand and playing with it.
Again, Ash said to himself, my status, and a window popped up in front of his eyes...
....
Name: Ash (altar owner)
Age: 24
Status: healthy
Abilities: none
Level: 1 (0/100 mana mist level 1)
Weapon: low-grade gun, 14 bullets, low-grade knife
And he sees the time left before the monster attack and a new pop-up window shows in front of Ash...
...
Time left before attack: 20 mins
After some time, Evan comes toward Ash with his low-grade axe and low-grade shield in his hand and with a look of full determination to fight to death with the monster.
Again,
Time left before attack: 1 min
Ash start thinking "why Ram is not here at this moment, is he rebelling against me or his injuries are very serious and he will only come at the last moment of the attack."
A few thoughts come into Ash's mind and after a few seconds, Ash stopped this thought, thinking "I will see what move Ram has and have a good explanation for not coming here otherwise I will not hesitate to expel Ram from the city because I does not want problems at my back after I am fighting for life in front of monsters."
After Ash start seeing the time before the attack and a pop-up window comes in front of Ash...
...
Time left before attack: 50 secs
Time left before attack: 00 secs
Here, Ash and Evan are ready for battle with everything they have without holding back in their mind and Ash grips his gun tightly and puts bullets in his waist for reuse and checks bullets in his gun, and Evan takes his shield and axe in his hands with a tight grip.
A few minutes later, Ash sees a pop-up window in front of him...
...
Time left before attack stop: 10 mins
Ash and Evan started seeing afar and they see 15 dots coming in the direction of the city.
And a few minutes later, they started seeing monsters clearly, and in the pack of monsters, two are level 1 and 13 are level 0
Ash tried to see their status window and a pop-up window comes in front of Ash...
.....

And,
Goblin (Low-Grade Monster)
Rank: F-rank
Level: 0
Description: A small goblin with oversized fangs capable of eating through rotten food, leather, and even weak armor. It lives in tribes, likes using its numbers to overwhelm prey.
Abilities:
Fast Reproduction – If not culled quickly, their numbers explode.
Cowardly but Aggressive – Fights only when cornered or in large groups.
Weakness: Weak to fire and blunt attacks. Easily scared by loud noises
Ash thinks it will be difficult to kill them all but he feels it's possible if Ram helps with dealing with two level 1 goblins. He sees goblins are starting to come quickly when they see the city in front of their eyes and their eyes start becoming bloody red in color.
They shout loudly and again their speed increases and level 0 goblins are coming first, after their back are level 1 goblins.
And,
All level 0 goblins suddenly fell into the trap and at the last moment one level 1 goblin safely got out back from the pit and another level 1 goblin fell in the trap, so Ash started to shoot bullets at the level 1 goblin.
And Evan tried to fight the level 1 goblin but he only protected himself because of the shield otherwise he would die, and Ash thinks after seeing this, Evan is doing everything to buy time for Ash.
So, Ash is successfully avoiding the attack of the goblin and he shoots the goblin but the first bullet misses by an inch and the second bullet successfully hits the goblin in his stomach but the goblin starts to fight more madly with Ash, so Ash has no time to attack the goblin because he has to dodge the goblin's attacks.
Then a few minutes later, Ash feels with his connection to the altar city that Ram open his eyes and took the sword near the altar and quickly advanced towards Ash and Evan who are fighting, and Ram quickly sneak-attacked the first goblin and that goblin was fatally injured. After some time, the first goblin is dead.
And,
Ash injured the second goblin with 3 bullets in his stomach. After that, he, Evan, and Ram finished the goblin.
And Ram said, "I am going to the altar because my injury is not healed, I need some more time to heal."
Ash said, "OKAY Ram, if you need something we will try to fetch it within our capability."
And Ram said to ash, "Nothing I need, but thank you," and he left to the altar for healing.
Ash thinks deep in his mind with a smile on his face, "I needs to give some respect to expert power if I want to keep them in this city otherwise it will make it difficult for the city to grow."
After, sometime later Evan took care of all level 0 goblins one by one without any problem.
Ash said, my status, and a pop-up window comes in front of his eyes.
