âMy king, thereâs blood in the air.â Riding on the back of a double head with an axe in hand, Gi Gi led his wild dogs and their superior noses to my side.
âIs it the enemy?â
If things go well enough, it might be possible to capture them.
âNo, itâsâŠâ As Gi Giâs voice grew weaker, a bad premonition came upon me.
âIs it our allies?â
This is a war weâre fighting, so of course, I came knowing that we wouldnât come out unscathed. However, Gi Za was the one pursuing the enemy, so how could there possibly be blood in the air.
If itâs just a few men, then thatâs still fine, but⊠wait, were they ambushed?
âLetâs follow the scent.â
Either way we canât just leave them be. If we can still save them, then we should immediately bring them back to the Ganra Village to rest.
ââŠKing!â The first one to discover them was of course the beast warrior, Gi Gi.
âHorrible.â Without intending to, that word came out of my mouth. What lay before me were my men, wounded and exhausted. They were downtrodden and weak, and not a hint of spirit could be seen about them.
âApologies, my king.â Blood was flowing out of Gi Zaâs left shoulder when he said those words. If it werenât for the wind magician, Gi Do, supporting him, he might not have even been able to stand.
âBut how? When you were the one leading the horde?â
âAnything else would just end up an excuse. I made the wrong call.â
Gi Zaâs dejected figure left me speechless. The one who ordered him to pursue the enemy was me. I ordered him specifically not just because I trusted him, but also because he had the strength to crush them. Moreover, he was a quick thinker. With all these added up he was a terrifying existence that could almost be thought of as a horde chief.
And yet he lost.
âI see. In any case, bring the wounded back to Ganraâs Village first. Gilmi, you wonât mind, right?â
âOf course. Iâll have some people lead the way.â
After I nodded to Gilmi, I called out to the defeated warriors.
âYou have all disappointed me!â
Startled, the rare goblins looked at me with fear.
âKing, this is myâŠâ Gi Za tried to cover for them, but I stopped him, and sent my gaze to the defeated goblins.
âHow long are you planning to look down!â
As if jolted by electricity, the goblins looked up to me.
âSo what if you lost once or twice? Is that a reason for you to be discouraged! If you lost once, then you should compensate for it with a greater victory!â
I need to snap them out of that defeatist attitude. If I just leave them alone like this, itâll interfere in the battles to come.
âGi Gi, Gi Ji, scout the surrounding area. Look for any traces of the enemyâs movement!â
âAs you will.â The two goblins nodded, and I sent my gaze to the defeated goblins once more.
âIf you are truly my warriors, then you will not remain seated in a place like this. Remember! Remember the battle with the orcs! When at that time, in that hopeless battle, you did not look down, why would you look down after losing once!?â
âRemember! You are warriors of the king! If you are truly warriors of the king, then take with yourselves the spirit of fortitude and follow me!â
As my voice echoed loudly to the point where it seemed I was yelling, the fearful gazes of the defeated goblins gradually vanished.
âWarriors! I give you a chance. Follow me and cleanse this shame from your honor!â
ââŠMy king, it as you say. We were wrong.â The wide eyed Gi Jii bowed his head. When he looked up to me, I saw in his gaze, the will to fight, burning ablaze.
âIâll leave the injured in your care, Gi Za. Thatâll be your punishment for losing.â Gi Za looked like he wanted to come despite his injuries, so I gave him a few words. I saw him grimace, vexed, from the corner of my eyes, but without saying anything more, I sent my gaze toward the now standing âwarriorsâ.
âGi Gu, you will be the vanguard. Gi Jii, Gi Zu, Gi Do, you three will support.â
Sorry, but those who stand in my way will die. Normally, I would think of taking prisoners, but this time will be different.
Nothing is more fearful than for this expedition to end in defeat.
âGo!â
âWe run with the king!â Gi Gu Verbena drew his sword as his voice echoed, raising the morale of the horde.
At my command, the goblin horde moved out.
âââ
After the battle with Gi Za, Aluhaliha met up with the chief of the Gaidga Goblins, Rashka. They decided to regroup themselves.
âThey donât look very good,â mumbled Rashka to no one in particular. With the help of the Paradua they were able to gather the scattered Gaidga
Rashka thought that the goblins would be fine even after being scattered, but unexpectedly, the goblins were actually scared to the point they looked like shivering deer.
Was the enemy that terrifying? He couldnât believe that someone could actually strike so much fear into the Gaidga.
The Gaidga Goblins have already been dulled to fear. Itâs true that they competed with the other tribes, the Ganra, the Paradua, and the Gordob, but despite that, it was common sense amongst them that the Gaidga were the most courageous and most brutal.
And yet that very same Gaidga was today, shivering in fear.
Just who was this enemy?
âIs this enough?â asked Aluhaliha of Paradua whoâs been gathering the scattered goblins.
Rashka shook his head. âNot yet.â
âI know you already know this, but just to remind you, if we take too long, the enemy will get back on their feet.â
âI know.â
But although he knew, it was also true that he need to gather enough men to take back the village and conquer Ganra. If they were to move carelessly, this time around, they wouldnât come out of it lightly.
âLetâs put that aside for now. How was Ganraâs backer?â
âNothing special⊠is what Iâd like to say, but if they can get back on their feet, then we wonât be able to look down on them. The subordinate goblins managed to dodge my spear and even fight back after all.â
âHmmâŠâ
Aluhalihaâs spear and Jirouou fighting together is by no means an easy combination to dodge. To be able to dodge that and even fight back is certainly not something that one could take lightly.
Moreover, that wasnât their chief fighting. That speaks volumes of the quality of their warriors.
âI hear you once talked with their chief.â
âYes, the East King of the Gi Village. He had gray skin and three horns, one of which was twisted. He even had a tail.â
âThat should be the lord class spoken of in tales. The founders shouldâve also been lord class.â
âOf course, that doesnât mean heâs necessarily equal to the founders, butâŠâ
âHeâs definitely strong. But⊠why? Why would he come to Ganra now of all times?â
Who knows? Is what Aluhaliha seemed to say as he tilted his head and glared at Rashka.
âYouâre not planning to try to pull him in as your ally are you?â
With a stern face like that of an unbreakable crag, Rashka nodded.
âIf possible, butâŠâ
Since Rashka couldnât gather his subordinates as he pleased, he figured he could play some tricks.
In short, all that mattered was victory.
Facing Aluhalihaâs discontent, he admonished him. âNow isnât the time for goblins to be fighting each other. Itâs a race against time. You should know that too.â
âBut stillâŠâ Aluhaliha was even more displeased, reluctantly, however, he still nodded.
For Rashka who rarely ever spoke to explain this much showed just how much heâs been driven to a corner. Heâs lost his village. Half of his subordinates has been killed. But despite all that that deep aura about this goblin that was like an immovable boulder showed no signs of being swayed.
Without showing the admiration he felt for this goblin, Aluhaliha quietly stared at Rashka.
Truth be told, he wanted to see him fight.
The King of the Gi Village.
He even thought that if this mist lurking within his chest could be swept away, he would like to seriously fight with him in a straightforward battle to see his strength.
In that way, he could come to terms with it.
So thatâs a king, he could say.
But he was the leader of a tribe. The skills he had been cultivating all this time in leading his fellow goblins could not permit that. He could not simply lie down and accept defeat.
Caught up between Rashkaâs trust and the fierce longing toward the king, Aluhalihaâs heart wavered.
