After around 20 minutes my mana was completely regenerated.
As I prepared to attack the goblin village I began to think of my plan of attack.
'Based on my count there are around 300 goblins with most being around level 2 to 3. I guess that level 1's are mainly responsible for grunt work which is why I ran into so many gathering plants, or hunting. level 2 to 3 seems to mainly work as guards for the village and near the center there are high concentration of a few level 4 goblins. They are probably guards for the village chief which is suspected to be level 5.'
'What should be my plan of attack? I should probably use a hit and run tactic at first. After I got most of the goblins near the outskirts I'll break in at a weak point and kill the separated groups before going for the chief.'
'Yeah, that sounds good! Let's do it!'
After I had my plan figured out, I began my attack on the goblin village. I first started by killing the guard at the four entrances to the village, gathering 80% of the population at the entrances.
The gate to the east had the least amount of guard so I started there. I first fired a few magic bullets to kill the archers. After that I charged in and created 3 additional chains.
*Shink*
*Shink*
*Shink*
.....
After around 12 minutes I managed to kill all the goblins at the east entrance of the village and headed towards the other entrances. Soon enough I managed to quickly finish off the other 3 groups of goblins and headed towards the chief's hut.
Once I arrived, I noticed 10 level 4 guards. There appeared to be 4 warriors, 2 archers, 1 mage, and a healer.
I quietly circled around them looking for an opening to kill the healer until I found it.
I quickly activated 'void step' and appeared behind the healer. I sent a chain towards their heart instantly killing him. I noticed there was enough time for a few other attacks, so I sent two more chains towards the guards.
I managed to kill the mage and one archer but that was all I could do before the other guards noticed me. I quickly retreated and teleported away.
'I know they're weaker than myself, but I won't risk it. I have to fight the chief after so I shouldn't risk damage.'
I began to do hit and run tactics on the guards. After around 10 minutes I managed to kill all the guards.
As soon as I killed them all, the chief immediately charged out of the hut.
He was bigger than the other goblins, standing around 2 meters tall. He held a sword and had leather armor. Based on the look in his eyes he had a cunning personality. He probably waited for me to kill the guards in order to wear me down.
The fight soon began.
As he swung his sword, I took a step back and fired my chain. His reaction speed was fast, and he managed to send it off course only gracing the side of his chest.
Once the wound was inflicted the effect could be seen immediately. The wound wouldn't stop bleeding, and it seemed as if his stamina was being rapidly drained.
Intrigued by the effect I decided to take the battle slow.
I summoned four chains and inflicted small wounds all over his body. After a mere half a minute he had over 60 wounds.
The chief was leaning on his sword and was on one knee. He was heavily panting as if he could die at any minute. Soon the chief collapsed and died.
After the fight finished I decided to take a small break and check my status.

'Those are some pretty good skills, and my stats are actually really high now, but I should really get back to work.'
As I ended my break I headed towards the chief's hut.
Once I headed into the hut I started rummaging around. Soon enough I managed to find a map.
The map had hundreds of markings that seemed to represent villages, but one marking stood out.
It was a marking of a crown.
'Guess the mini bosses and the big boss are there. I know where I'm heading next.'
