Gabil had easily acquired the Goblin Villages' support.
Without even having to show our power, the goblins quickly surrendered themselves to me.
They are a pathetic race, after all. Should they show any intention to disobey, I'll quickly force them to obey.
Gabil had completely forgotten the Head's words.
He had every village bring out food from their storehouses.
And, for have every warrior assemble before him.
The goblin warriors numbered 7,000.
They were clothed in battered leather armor, and armed with stone spears.
A poor fighting force, but good enough for now.
Those without the will to fight have already ran away.
Clan chiefs! Are there any other villages around here?
The chiefs exchanged glances.
One nervously replied,
No... though not exactly a village, but there is a community...
What's with that?
The way they are trying to avoid the question was getting on Gabil's nerves.
And when he pressed further, they began telling him a bizarre story.
That there was a group of goblins hunting atop of fang wolves.
However, that makes no sense, he thought. Fang wolves are powerful monsters that move in packs.
Called the rulers of the plains, they've thwarted Lizadmen's advances many times.
For them to serve some lowly goblins... impossible!
And moreover, they've concluded with a truly ludicrous statement.
Those goblins obeyed a slime.
A slime, the lowest of monsters! What wolf, or even goblin would serve such trash?
He decided to confirm their words.
There's probably some trick involved, he thought. If he handled this well, he could gain control over the fang wolves.
Gabil thus decided... for the sake of his grand ambition.
The village was not where he was told.
That had angered him, but he decided to be patient. In order to control the wolves, he probably needed to be more patient.
To achieve his desire of ousting the current Head, he needed to have more self-control.
Thus, for the sake of his goals, he decided to be patient.
Gabil perceived only one obstacle to his plans"a lack of an army.
If only he could command the wolves, the other lizardmen would surely follow.
And with the rulers of the plains and the rulers of the marshes under one banner, how could they even think to fear the lowly orcs!
Gabil so believed, without even a hint of doubt.
By expelling the orcs, they would become the true rulers of the Jura Forest. And thus, surely Gelmudo-sama would distinguish them for their service.
For such a grand dream, he'd wait as long as necessary.
The main army he'd already sent back to the Shisu lake, ordering them to be on standby.
Since they didn't have much provision, they had to act quickly. Time was of essence.
And after receiving reports that tracks were found, he quickly issued orders.
Including himself, he selected ten elites.
Mounting the Overlizards, they ran towards their objective.
The wolves were nothing to fear, as although they were certainly powerful, they obeyed some lowly goblins. Probably the leftovers of a pack.
"I'll train them myself, and have them regain their former power!" So he thought.
Oh, but how could he have imagined what would lay before him...!
His head was filled with the dream of becoming a ruler of the forest and serving Gelmudo-sama.

To meet with the lizardmen's envoy, I proceeded to the entrance of the city.
There, we had built a small cabin that the guards used to rest in.
The members who attended were myself, Rigurdo, Benimaru, Hakurou, and Shion.
I had asked Shion to prepare some tea, but that ended in regret.
