Chapter 148
The Goblin Village Chief came up to Rimuru.
"Lord Rimuru, you're back!"
Rimuru nodded.
"Yeah. These are my friends. They'll be helping us take care of the Direwolves."
The Goblin Chief looked at Stelle and the others and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, lords, for being willing to help our small village."
Soon, a series of wolf howls echoed through the forest. A pack of Direwolves appeared on a nearby hillside.
Rimuru turned to Stelle, Kiana, and the others.
"You don't need to fight. Let me handle it. Only jump in if I can't hold them off."
He didn't want them getting hurt—they weren't originally part of this battle.
The others nodded in agreement. Lumine even took out a bag of sunflower seeds and started munching.
