Horn of the Goblin General
A lowest-rank artifact Ainz gave Enri; normally it summons only 19 goblins, but once three conditions are met it summons a goblin army of over 5,000.
- Normal effect: summons 19 goblins—a leader, a mage, a cleric, 2 archers, 2 riders, and 12 soldiers; the summons are permanent and do not vanish until killed (Vol. 1)
- Treated as junk in YGGDRASIL, and no player knew its true effect; worth thousands of gold coins in the New World
- When Enri blew it a second time in Vol. 9, it summoned an army of over 5,000, including a heavy infantry corps, a paladin squad, a magic artillery unit, and 13 Redcap royal guards
- Presumed conditions: about half a year since first use, Enri becoming village chief, having subordinates other than summons, and Enri gaining the "General" class
- In sheer numbers neither the Kingdom nor the Empire can match it; the 13 level-43 Redcaps are especially strong
- Composition and levels of the 19: goblin leader (level 12) ×1, mage (level 10) ×1, cleric (level 10) ×1, archers (level 10) ×2, riders with wolves (level 10) ×2, soldiers (level 8) ×12 (1-231)
- True-effect army (Vol. 9): heavy infantry corps, 17 paladins, beast cavalry, longbow corps, magic support corps, 5-member magic artillery unit, assassination squad, 13 Redcap royal guards, military band, medical corps, plus 12 kinds of rear support including a strategist, weather forecaster, and blacksmith—over 5,000 in total
- At the inspection when entering E-Rantel it was appraised at "thousands of gold coins"; the light novel's appraiser exclaims "What is this! Who are you?!", while the Web novel only calls it "quite magical" (comparison)
- When she blew it the second time, Enri was in the middle of a battle against about 5,000 enemies
Notes
Blown normally it makes a toy-like "pooo" sound, but when the true effect triggers it booms with an earth-shaking bass. In the Web novel the horn is just a store-bought horn with [Summon Goblin Troop] sealed in it.
