Goblin Troop

Goblin Troop (ゴブりン軍団) is a group of summoned goblins that are loyal to Enri Emmot. The first summon is called the Goblin Troop, summoned by Enri after Ainz Ooal Gown saved Carne Village.

They later merged with the second summon called the Goblin Army, an army of goblins that was summoned to fight against the Crown Prince Barbro's Army during the attack of Carne Village.

Appearance

The Goblins have their own distinguishing appearance and gears befitting their class. While each class has distinctive gear compared to the others, even those within the same class can possess gears that are different to some degree.

Personality

The Goblins are both disciplined and professional in their duties, acting like trained soldiers. While they are always ready for battle, they are still friendly and willing to be diplomatic to avoid a fight to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. The one thing they all share in common is their complete loyalty to their summoner.

Background

The Goblin Troop is created from the magical item Horn of the Goblin General. This is a low level magical item from YGGDRASIL that would be used by low level players to create the Goblin Troop as a fighting force. Ainz gave this two horns to Enri, seeing as the item was far too weak to be of any use to him.

The second Goblin Army was summoned by Enri when faced with impending doom at the hands of the Crown Prince's Army.

Chronology

The Undead King Arc

During the attack on Carne Village, Ainz Ooal Gown rescued Enri Emmot and her sister Nemu Emmot from being slaughtered. Ainz then gives the two sisters the magical item "Horn of the Goblin General". Since it was a weak, low level item that he no longer had any use for. He decides that it could still be used to protect the two sisters from any additional danger.

The Dark Warrior Arc

While Ainz is in his adventurer persona Momon, he arrives at the village edge of Carne, along with Narberal Gamma and the Swords of Darkness who are escorting Nfirea Bareare. They get stopped by the Goblins who, after being summoned, have taken on the job of guarding and patrolling the village. They have also begun helping out in the fields and instructing the villagers on how to defend themselves. Normally demi-humans like goblins would find it difficult to be accepted by humans, but seeing as the village was recently attacked by other humans, and the goblins came from an item given to them from their savior Ainz, the village has readily accepted them into their midst.

Abilities and Powers

First Summons

The Goblin Troop consists of 19 goblins who are completely loyal to their summoner Enri. Their relationship is even closer than the one shared between Ainz and the Guardians of Nazarick. Their combat ability can be considered equal to professional soldiers.

The troop setup is as following:

12 Goblin Soldiers at level 8: Paipo, Kuunel, Gokoh, Unlai
2 Goblin Wolf Riders and their mounts at level 10: Kaijali and Kiumei
2 Goblin Archers at level 10: Shuringan and Gurindai
1 Goblin Cleric at level 10: Cona
1 Goblin Mage at level 10: Dyno
1 Goblin Leader at level 12: Jugem

Second Summons

At a later time, Enri summoned another army consisting of 5000 goblins, which included Hoplites as the core troops, goblin beast riders, goblin paladins on white wolves, goblin longbows, goblin magic support squad, goblin magic artillery squad, goblin medic squad, goblin musician squad, goblin assassination squad, 13 goblin red cap honor guards and a goblin tactician commander dressed as Zhu Ge Liang.

The Goblin Army is a force to be reckoned with, unlike its previous incarnation, being the Goblin Troop which is composed of nineteen goblins, this force of summons is composed of five thousand strong, fully equipped with the best weaponry and equipment. The hierarchy of the Goblin Army is relatively straightforward. The goblins summoned by her see Enri Emmot as their overall master and commander. The management of the army is handled by the Goblin Strategist, and beneath him are separate leaders of the various corps and squads each with its own specialty the army.

The army is composed as following:

Goblin Strategist
Goblin Medical Corps
Goblin Heavy Infantry Corps
Goblin Paladin-Knight Squad
Goblin Beast Rider Corps
Goblin Longbowman Corps
Goblin Magic Support Corps
Goblin Magic Bombardment Squad
Goblin Assassin Squad
Goblin Bodyguards: Thirteen Redcap goblins that serve as Enri's bodyguards.
