Chapter 430: Operation Forbidden Grounds Surprise Attack, Commence!<ol><li><strong> Operation Forbidden Grounds Surprise Attack, Commence!</strong></li></ol>


    * * *


    A narrow valley, located further west, bypassing the ck Kobu Tribe vige.


    This valley, with cliffs on both sides exposing jet-ck bedrock with mysterious marble patterns, is the “forbidden grounds” of the Flying Kobudai ns.


    The name of this ce, almost forgotten by the Kobudai, is the Dontgo Valley.


    In this valley of darkness, where the already scarce sunlight due to the fog is further blocked by the overhanging cliffs, there are almost no signs of life, perhaps due to the terrifying presence emanating from its depths.


    There are no berry bushes, and not even a single krill can be found.


    This forbidden grounds, Dontgo Valley, is an eerie valley, fitting to be described as the “Valley of Death”.


    <strong><<<All forces… Charge</strong><strong>ーーー</strong><strong>!!!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<UOOOOOOOOOH</strong><strong>ーーー</strong><strong>!!!>>></strong>


    But today, in this “Valley of Death”…


    …The war cries of warriors suddenly echoed!


    After a deafening roar that made one want to cover their ears, arge number of Red Kobu and Blue Kobu warriors poured into the valley, breaking through the wall of fog!


    The Red and Blue Kobudai Allied Forces!


    Despite being unexpectedly attacked by a monster on the way, they finally reached their destination, andunched their surprise attack on the ck Kobu Tribe!


    <strong><<<Wh-What!? >>></strong>


    <strong><<<Enemy attack! Enemy attack!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Who are you!! You bastaaards!?>>></strong>


    Hearing their roars, ck Kobu warriors, in charge of guarding the forbidden grounds, hurriedly emerged from the shadows of the rocks.


    They were just taking a break, and are greatly flustered by the sudden turn of events.


    Many of them still have turban shell crumbs around their mouths.


    Towards them, therge Kobudai leading the warriors… Kobdalian, his body enveloped in zing red mes created by his supernatural ability… shouted!


    <strong><<<I am ‘Kobdalian of the Raging mes’, the proud n Chief of the Red Kobu Tribe! Come at me, ck Kobu! I’ll char your ck scales even ckerrrr!!!>>></strong>


    And Kobdalian, without a moment’s dy, transformed into a giant ball of me and charged at the ck Kobu warriors!


    <strong><<<Hiih!? H-Hot!? It burns…>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Gyaaa</strong><strong>ーーー</strong><strong>!!>>></strong>


    The ck Kobu warriors, emerging one after another from the holes dug into the cliff, jumped at Kobdalian, trying to stop him, but they’re no match for him!


    Some are burned to ashes by the power of Kobdalian’s supernatural ability, 【Raging mes】, while others are simply blown away by his giant body!


    <strong><<<Seize the glory of the ck Kobu!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Seize the glory of the ck Kobu!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Seize the glory of the… Gyah!?>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Hey, hey, hey! Don’t just stare at the n Chief, you brats!!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<We won’t let the n Chief hog all the glory!!>>></strong>


    Of course, the other warriors aren’t cking off either.


    Behind Kobdalian, who was clearing the way with his charge, the Red Kobu warriors shouted, and the Blue Kobu warriors, calmly and collectedly… defeated the ck Kobu warriors that Kobdalian missed!


    <strong><<<It’s 10 to 1! Attack them 10 to 1</strong><strong>ーーー</strong><strong>!!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<You idiot! We can’t do that in this situation!?>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Retreat! Retreat further in!!>>></strong>


    The ck Kobu warriors defending the forbidden grounds werepletely routed.


    They all fled into the depths of the valley in disarray.


    Kobdalian, watching their pathetic disy, stopped for a moment and snorted.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    <strong><<<Hmph.>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Oh my, Kobdalian-dono. As a Red Kobu warrior, you don’t like surprise attacks? >>></strong>


    The one who spoke to Kobdalian was ‘Kobdacleva, the Wise’, the n Chief of the Blue Kobu Tribe.


    He had been staying near Kobdalian during the current battle, not participating in the fighting himself.


    However, it can be said that the sess of this battle isrgely due to Kobdacleva’s efforts.


    After all, it’s all thanks to the strategy he devised, gathering information, that they were able to approach this forbidden grounds undetected, andunch a surprise attack at a time when the defenses were weak.


    <strong><<<I don’t like surprise attacks. But they’re trying to awaken the Cmity. We can’t be picky.>>></strong>


    Kobdalian muttered that, keeping his eyes fixed on the depths of the valley, without looking back at Kobdacleva.


    (I won’t let Kobdaroze’s sacrifice be in vain! I’ll stop those ck Kobu bastards… myself!! )


    Fighting spirit burned in Kobdalian’s eyes.


    In sync with that fighting spirit, the mes enveloping him burned even brighter.


    <strong><<<I’m d to hear you say that. This surprise attack is both the main attack and a diversion. Rampage to your heart’s content. That will weaken the defenses of the ck Kobu vige, making it easier for the separate unit to rescue the kidnapped children.>>></strong>


    Kobdacleva said quietly.


    Yes… the Blue Kobu Tribe has to rescue their fry who are being held hostage.


    Perhaps because of that, most of this assault force on the forbidden grounds consists of Red Kobu warriors, and only a few Blue Kobu warriors.


    <strong><<<Children are treasures. We have to save them.>>></strong>


    Kobdalian truly believes that.


    Therefore, he had no objection to the troop deployment proposed by Kobdacleva, and readily epted it.


    And there’s also the fact that Red Kobu warriors are eager to fight, so they’re better suited for an assault operation than a somewhat delicate job like rescuing fry…


    “…Yes, that’s right. Children are treasures.”


    Kobdacleva’s eyes gleamed, agreeing with Kobdalian’s words.


    And he too red at the depths of the valley.


    <strong><<<Let’s keep this momentum and head deeper in, Kobdalian-dono! At this time, ‘Kobdarok, the ck Rock’, the n Chief of the ck Kobu Tribe, should be at the Cmity excavation site, directing the work!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<Yeah… We’ll crush him and put an end to this foolish act! …Let’s go! Warriors!!>>></strong>


    <strong><<<UOOOOOOOOOH</strong><strong>ーーー</strong><strong>!!!>>></strong>


    Responding to Kobdalian’smand, the Kobudai all roared…


    …And once again, they started swimming towards the depths of the valley with incredible speed!
