The orcs could attack us at any time, and yet the situation inside the village isn’t favorable. Many in the village are dissatisfied and even the goblins themselves are in a shaky situation. But still… I can’t give up here.
I asked Lili and Reshia to investigate Gi Ga’s recent report. From their investigation, I found out that Gi Za was telling the truth.
That incident isn’t something to scoff at however. Its effect can be visibly seen in the humans. The fear that had once been stilled has once again risen in their hearts. The eyes they look at me, brimming with fear. But with the bad comes the good, and I now see Gi Za with a stronger sense of security. Not only is the goblin’s visage close to that of humans, but he also handled the previous situation excellently. Surely, I can rely on him more.
From now on I’ll most likely be relying on Gi Za’s horde of druids whenever I leave, but I still need to make more goblin rares. I’ll be needing them to achieve my goals.
Goblins get smarter as they evolve. A single class up can make a huge difference. You could liken it to the dispersing of a great, thick fog within the mind of the goblins, freeing them from a rabid thirst. The more goblin rares I have, the less chances there will be of such incidents as the one before from occurring. Moreover, in this way, I can also strengthen my army.
As for the village, Gi Za’s proven that I can rely on him, so I’ll be leaving the protection of the village in his and his druids’ hands. If possible, I’d like to avoid any friction in the village as there’s a pressing issue that needs to be addressed: How do I deal with the maddened orcs?
I need men working to solve this problem. I can’t afford an internal dispute now.
I had gone out to scout before, so I had to put a stop to it, but now that I’m here again, I’ll have to start that training again. The goblins tend to think of dumb things when they don’t know who’s in charge. So once every five days, I’ll have the goblins stand before me, and I will subdue them with my strength. If they know who’s boss, they won’t dare cause trouble.
A lot of problems come up when I personally go out to scout, so this time I had a scouting party made with Gi Gu, the former leader of the village, as the center along with Gi Gi and Gi Go. They are to head northwest of the village.
Then I ordered Gi Ga to take out the goblins that are close to levelling up to hunt the spear deer. It’s imperative that we bolster our forces as soon as possible.
Then I had the remaining goblins dig holes around the village, creating pitfalls and ditches. I did this until the sun was high up the sky. At which point, I then left the command of the trap-making squad to Gi Za. And I scurried off to begin the goblins’ so-called “Day of Fear”.
When that ended, I took the gray wolf pups, Cynthia and Gastra, out to hunt.
I wonder if I could use these two to keep watch around the village. Fortunately, thanks to Reshia and Lili, they’re not scared of humans. In fact, they’ve even taken a liking to them. But liking’s just liking. As for whether I’ll be able to use them in that way, that’s left to be seen.
With the two gray wolf pups in tow, we ran through the forest. I know little of the ways the gray wolves hunt, but the pups would by themselves try to kill any prey we would come across, saving me the headache of instructing.
Unfortunately, they still have a long way to go as even rabbits could outrun them. So I caught an armor rabbit, broke its legs, and then rolled it over toward the two.
Like this they should naturally understand where they need to bite to kill the rabbit. I suppose this should count as one way of studying hunting.
After I had ascertained that the gray wolf pups had stuffed themselves full, we went back to the village.
The ditches and pitfalls were still only 33% done by the time we had returned.
◇◇◆
Evening came and Gi Ga’s hunting squad returned. There, I saw an unfamiliar goblin rare.
“King,” said Gi Ga. “A new goblin rare has joined our ranks.”
At that introduction, the goblin rare kneeled, and I took a look at the new goblin rare with the <<Red Snake’s Eye>>. Its status floated up.
[Race] Goblin
[Level] 1
[Class] Rare]
[Possessed Skills] <<Throw Projectile>> <<Overpowering Howl>> <<Spearmanship C->> <<Meld>>
[Divine Protection] None
[Attributes] None
I took a look at the description for the new skill <<Meld>>.
<<Meld>>
Allows one to meld with the surrounding, making himself harder for the enemy to spot.
Come to think of it, I have been employing stealth tactics lately. Concealing ourselves and quietly closing in on our enemies. It’s probably because of that that this goblin learned this skill.
I thought that to myself, then fixing my glance back at the goblin, I spoke.
