In the World of Sword and Magic as Space Marine

Chapter 7: Holy Fire

"A vampire city. If you have an army to take on the vampire army why do you need me?" William asks Sir Dolven with curiosity, if they need additional muscle in the battle they could have asked for a more experienced adventurer.

"With a special guest, we've been gathering various adventurers to join our causes. Your guild master recommended you as a representative from the Greenhill branch. Also, thanks to your reputation as a slayer of the undead, I'm certain you will make great additions to our military strength." Sir Dolven said as William looked at the guild master and the other two leaders of Greenhill. They seemed nervous but William can't blame them as Greenhill doesn't have a powerful adventurer, so when high rank noble from capital 'request' people to fight for their king, the three leaders had no choice but to give William.

"I understand, I will accept the special quest as long as I can rank up at the same time. Are we leaving today?" Hearing William's word, all three leaders finally relaxed as their duty to the king and country was fulfilled without sending all their men power.

"We are leaving tomorrow morning, it seems we have trouble maker this morning and caused a delay." Sir Dolven said with annoyance in his voice as he looked at William and his armor. If William can guess, Sir Dolven is a career military leader and holds high on the reputation of nobility. After Sir Dolven received the stamp and approval from the guild master he left the office, leaving William and three leaders alone in the office.

"It seems no matter who's a job offer I take I would end up in the service of the military expedition," William said to all three men as he turned around to leave the office, since Sir Dolven got the quest contract approved there is no reason for William to stay there anymore. Since his day is free now, William decided to go goblin hunting around Greenhill as many of the goblins made a camp after fleeing from an army of undead.

1 Hour Later, Outside of Greenhill,

'Seems like there are a couple of them wandering around but so far I see no camp or hideout of goblins.' William pulls out his sword from the dead goblin as he looks around to see if he missed any enemies. After killing over 30 goblins, William is certain there is camp around Greenhill forest but he didn't find any.

'Where could those goblins hide?' William thought to himself as he grabbed the goblin corpse and realized something unusual. The goblin he is holding is dirty and covered with dust from top to bottom. This clue gave William an idea as he started scanning the ground for potential entrance.

It took William two hours to find a hole hidden in the bush and trees, but the ground tells a different story as it is full of trails and tracks of goblins.

'Well, shit. No wonder I couldn't find the camp. It was underground this entire time.' William thought to himself as he removed the bush and trees to find the entrance. When it was cleared, he found a small hole that no adult human can enter or a Space Marine can. After thinking about his options, William comes up with a good old fashion of fire trick as he pulls out flamer from his inventory. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a group of adventurers came out of the forest.

"Oh, shit. You are the Black Knight, slayer of the undead. What are you doing here?" One of the adventurers asked William with a surprised expression.

"Hunting goblins." With that, William pulled the trigger and unleashed promethium fueled the fire onto the hole. In a second, the entire ground starts to smoke between cracks as screams of goblins burning alive can be heard.

"Nothing helps me relax more than killing goblins with holy fire." With that, William pulled the trigger once again at the entrance while a group of adventurers got nervous as they saw Black Knight laugh with malice.
