Having wanted to move her body, Lili became the sparring partner of the goblins. It’s been five days since then.
As expected, the first one to defeat her was Gi Za’s faction.
Magic was prohibited, but the druids were originally a class that’s used to using their heads. And after continuous research through trial and error, they eventually found Lili’s weakness.
The other factions tried to emulate what Gi Za’s faction did, but in the end they couldn’t defeat Lili.
Perhaps it might be for the best after all to form teams with the druids as the center. However, the druids aren’t without fault. Their personalities for one are far too dry, and they have a tendency to look at their fellow goblins as chess pieces even more than I do. It’s good that they’re passionate about researching and studying, but I’ve gone to great trouble to bring together this army I have today. Having that army weakened because of their whims would be a shame.
In the end, thinking by myself just ends with me running around in circles like this, leaving me at a loss.
Then with the end of the afternoon training, I called out to Lili,
“Lili,” I said.
Thinking it’d be interesting to hear what she thought of her sparring partners, I asked her for her thoughts. And she replied,
“Which group was the hardest to beat… you say.”
A questioning look appeared on her face.
“You don’t mind trusting me?” she asked.
“I’m just asking for your opinion,” I replied. “Come on, don’t hold back. Let me hear what you think.”
Seeing a deep crevice appear in between her eyebrows, I quietly thought to myself, what a serious woman.
“As you’d expect, it’s Gi Za’s group,” she answered.
Well that’s about right.
“And next would be Gi Gi’s group,” she continued.
Oh? That’s slightly unexpected. It’s not Gi Ga’s faction who has a high level, but rather the beast warrior, Gi Gi’s faction, that she found second strongest.
Gi Gi’s faction is currently serving as the vanguard in the group when moving out, responsible for detecting the enemies ahead. I’ve been having the beasts work in one big group, but it might be a good idea to start having them as a part of the three-man cells.
Then while I was lost in my thought, I noticed Lili sneak a glance at me.
“What?” I asked.
Lili being quite tall, our heights were nearly the same.
“It’s nothing,” she curtly replied, averting her eyes as she did.
I wanted to ask her what it was, but without enough material, I couldn’t pursue the matter. Well, it doesn’t really matter. If she’s scheming something, then I’ll just have to appropriately punish her.
Then suddenly, a voice called out to me.
“King!” it said.
And using that opportunity, I left Lili.

“Do you know of the Fortress of the Abyss?” asked Gi Za.
“What is that?” I asked back as I knitted my brows.
“It’s only natural that you don’t know about it, but it’s a stronghold with many influential goblin clans,” he answered.
The sudden jump from fortresses to goblin clans baffled me.
“Gordob, Gaidga, Baradua, Ganra. Starting from these four clans along with all the goblins in the world, save for the humans, the goblins are probably the most numerous,” he said.
Gordob? Gaidga? What is he talking about?
“But these four clans aren’t united. Of course, they don’t like the humans, but they also carry ill will for their fellow goblins,” he continued.
As Gi Za began to prattle, I decided to keep quiet, and listen. As for why? It’s because Gi Za’s eyes carried with it the same will, the same resolve when fighting.
“But there is one thing that they have in common,” he said
In other words, if I want to unify the goblins, I have to aim for that fortress… is what he’s saying.
“The Fortress of the Abyss,” he declared.
Why is a fortress a common point, I wondered.
“If you go, you’ll know,” said Gi Za.
His eyes remained unchanging, carrying with it the same resolve it did throughout his entire story.
“You want me to put my trust in that?” I asked him.
Then as if carrying the dignity of a prophet, Gi Za’s words brimmed with madness in his fervor as he answered me, saying,
“King, if you are to lead us (goblins), then...”
