Shin declared that he was ready to name the goblins that did a splendid job. Of course, he had to train them all after all they had to be able to do something.
If they were to be left just like that, then it would lead to a disadvantage in skills which could cause them to lose the war.
War wasn't to be underestimated. It was by no chance something that could be done on a whim. Therefore, it was only to be sought as a last chance.
For Shin it was contrary, he was actually ready to go to war probably because he thought that he had immense luck or perhaps he was just confident.
Yes, seeing that the mission was given by the system, he knew that this was something that could be dealt with and was not impossible. He could even end up winning with the least possible casualties or no deaths at all!
"Really master?" – the goblin mage who had met Shin a while back said this with a thrilled expression on his face.
It was probably because this was his first time seeing someone so readily agreeing to name someone, after all, the naming ceremony is considered as a boon to most monsters.
"Yes, but only those that really give their all and perform fantastically, will be named." – he repeated himself.
This was something the goblins took to their heart. All of a sudden they were motivated to do the impossible.
All of them wanted to be named and now that Shin put forth the thought about naming more than one goblin, everyone thought that they had equal chances to be named.
'By doing this, I can get some better fighters…'
'I can just name them and ask them to lead charges in the battles just like how a general would.' – he thought.
He wasn't entirely wrong. If there were generals, then they would definitely aid him in winning the battle, however, he had to have complete control over them.
A double-edged sword can sometimes be harmful. If a goblin were to be given a name and were to evolve into a goblin general with high intelligence, then there was a chance that at some time in the future, Shin would suffer from backstabbing.
Therefore, each and every step had to be taken with careful consideration.
"Alright then-"
Right after announcing all that, Shin started diving the goblins into several groups.
He first took some time to explain what had to be done to the goblin mages considering the fact that they were agile while being highly intelligent.
Of course, elder goblins were intelligent as well, however, they didn't have that enthusiasm to do any sort of chores or work. So Shin left them with just two tasks – 'Ensuring that all goblins were doing as they were instructed and finding the troublemakers.'
Others were given other jobs. The mages were asked to form a team of 5 with each of them leading another 10 goblins. They had to just demonstrate the usage of magic and how to dodge them.
By teaching them these, the goblins would be able to dodge some similar-looking magic or magic with similar effects.
The mages accepted the job. Of course, they wouldn't be able to train for long since their MP was limited. Therefore, Shin thought of a method that would let the goblins train for longer.
"You will take turns while teaching."
"Also, each one of you will use only a particular type of magic."
By this, Shin ensured that their MP could be replenished easily while one would be drained. Thus, the training would continue for longer.
He then further divided other goblins into some groups too. Taking into consideration the fact that the hunter-type goblins could give knowledge about sneak attacks and traps, not only did he ask them to spread the same knowledge to all, but also taught a few tricks to them.
Yes, they knew nothing about traps that could hunt beasts that are advantageous in terms of numbers.
Why would goblins mess with those with more numbers? It was obvious that their numerical advantage was the only thing that they could rely on and due to that, they would gang up on just a single large beast while hunting.
This wasn't appropriate considering the fact that humans were not only much more intelligent than them but also had a huge numerical advantage over the goblins. Thus, they had to learn tough techniques and the art of hunting from Shin.
He taught them what the humans would do during desperate times and everything else.
Within a few days, only four days, they showed a great amount of improvement.
'Yes…'
'I was right…'
'The goblins aren't by any means useless monsters…'
'It's just that their growth and improvement is inhibited by the excess amount of prohibition to knowledge and content.'
'They lack determination.'
'If those things are conquered, then they would be no different than a newborn baby who is curious about the outside world!'
Shin compared the goblins to the newborn infant of a human. A baby's mind is just like a blank CD.
Whatever you try to store, it will accept it completely and easily. And with this, it will easily be able to learn tons of things without much difficulty.
This can't be considered that easily at the same time since the storage of the CD has to be considered as well. The goblins could store just a limited amount of info which Shin noticed, thus, instead of going through much useless info, he just taught them – 'How to survive.'
In just four days, the army was completely ready and was standing with a different kind of fire in their eyes. It was as if they could accomplish anything that they wanted.
It was not the fifth day, Shin had been watching them for the past four days. He only taught to some of them while gave guidance to others. Apart from that, he just had the role of observing and nothing else.
"Alright, you have done a wonderful job for the past four days."
"Be glad, I have selected a few of you who are going to be named."
"…"
