Human King

"Hmm...it's more than possible." Dawn murmured as he opened his eyes again.

It was indeed more than possible that there exists a monster that counters a goblin naturally.

The danger of such a monster was ridiculously high not only for the normal goblins but also for their king, Dawn.

What's more, the threat level of it was also just that high.

However, it's not like Dawn would stop this war against the southeast of the forest just because there exists a chance that such a monster was existing in here.

After all, the war itself was a threat to the goblins. They could die any moment because of any monsters, not just because of that specific monster who could counter goblins well.

That was why it didn't really matter, but it was the truth that it was indeed dangerous.

That was why Dawn spoke as he looked at Moris.

"Do you think Oz would be able to fight them off?"

This was the second most important question Dawn had for Moris.

Would Oz be able to fight against the general or native monsters in the southeast of the forest?

After all, Oz was literally the secret trump card of the goblin king who was about to conquer the southeast of the forest.

However, if Oz was not strong enough to be called a secret trump card, Dawn would have to be more careful with his decisions.

Of course, this would be done considering what Moris would have to say for himself.

Moris knows how strong the Lion Tiger was. And since he was the one who fought the first fortress near them, his opinion should be more valuable than anything else right now.

After all, Moris should be able to tell the strength difference between the two sides.

And what Moris had to say for this matter is that...

"Yes, Your Highness."

"The Lion Tiger...Oz should be able to defeat any native monsters in here."

"Of course, I don't know about the three legendary hyenas or any of their secret subordinates, but Oz should fare well enough."

Moris said as truthfully as he could. After all, Moris knows how strong the Lion Tiger was. 

The Lion Tiger, Oz, was a lot stronger than Moris, and even Moris was scared of the Lion Tiger.

It was only natural that Oz would be able to fight against the native monsters in here.

It was then that Oz did something unexpected.

"Garr!" Oz chuffed as he opened his mouth a little bit.

Although the two goblins couldn't see what kind of face Oz was making right now, as they were looking in another direction, they could tell for sure.

They could tell that Oz just said..."Damn, right." to them in his own language.

After all, it had the tone of a prideful king! Although Oz was the servant of the goblin king right now, he was still the Great King of the Jungle.

It was only right for him to have such a tone!

In fact, it was even ridiculous that Moris was saying that another monster living in the southeast would be able to contend against Oz.

Although Moris was just saying that to be sure that they wouldn't make any mistakes, it was still unreasonable.

If Dawn was not here, and Oz felt like he was being underestimated by Moris, he would have killed Moris even before he started to speak.

After all, that was just how disrespectful it was.

Anyway, when Oz finished chuffing, he quickly returned to sleep.

It seems that Oz really liked sleeping as this was what he did all day long.

It was then that Dawn spoke once more as he finally regained his attention back to Moris.

"Good."

And that was all that Dawn said. After all, that was really what he felt at this moment.

He felt satisfied that Oz would be able to fight against all if not, most of the monsters here.

That fact alone would make Dawn reassured in his decision to wage war against the southeast of the forest with just 53 goblins.

It was already insane, but well. Who said that Dawn was sane?

He was the goblin king for a reason!

Anyway, now that Dawn finally knew the answers to his question, it was now time to get to the topic.

"So, how was it? That fortress or whatever it was called."

"Do you think we could use it as a base or something like that?"

Right, this was the main topic. Since it was already night, Dawn suspected that the goblins who were receiving Blessings of the Battlefield earlier would have woken up by now.

No, in fact, Dawn could feel them moving around, and he could feel that they were a lot stronger than before.

That was why Dawn knew that the goblins would be able to fight against the monsters.

Well, they were awake now so it was only normal that they would be able to fight against the monsters.

Anyway, when Moris heard what Dawn said, he quickly spoke as he lowered his head once again.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"We can't use it as a base, but we can use it as the starting point of our attack."

"It is already night, so we should be able to utilize that place as I have already destroyed them thoroughly."

"Although there should be monsters wandering around here and there, I don't think they would be able to discover that they have been attacked by a goblin."

Moris said without missing anything. Although what he said was quite a bold statement, his demeanor and his tone while he spoke those words were really confident.

It means that he was just that sure that nothing would be able to find any tracks of him destroying that fortress or something like that.

Of course, Dawn was able to notice that, which is why he was interested.

What could make Moris be so sure of himself when he knows exactly that a moment in a forest could change things forever?

That was why Dawn spoke as he raised his body. He raised his body to look at Moris who was kneeling right in front of him.

"What is the reason?"

"What is the reason you are so sure of it? That no one would be able to find out the destruction you have caused in that place?"

Dawn said, and it seems that he really wanted to know this.

Well, it was just because Dawn was really interested in how Moris was so confident.

After all, that would mean that there was something that Dawn didn't know that existed in that place.

Anyway, it was then that Moris spoke for himself.

"It is because...the place is full of mud, Your Highness."

"The place is so full of mud that no one would think that things have been destroyed or something like that."

"What's more, that place also has something like a barrier made of trees."

"One would have to be insanely strong just to figure out that they have been attacked."

Moris said as he remembered what the fortress looked like in his mind.

Of course, Moris was right. It would be hard to find evidence of an attack in that kind of situation.

Mud pool here, mud pool there, mud pool everywhere. It was easy to guess why it wasn't easy.

However, it's not like that was the only factor to consider.

Dawn knew that very well, which is why he spoke once more as he looked down on Moris now.

Right, Dawn was looking down on Moris now as he was standing up right now.

It seems that he stood up while Moris was answering him.

Anyway, this is what Dawn said, and he said this with a heavy voice.

"What about the monsters?"

"The monsters wandering around that place should be able to notice that the monsters guarding that place are now gone."

"If they notice that the monsters in that place are now gone, they would be able to tell that someone attacked them and even be able to report to their lords."

What Dawn said made sense. After all, it is easy to notice if a place is devoid of monsters when that place is usually full of monsters.

Anyway, the reason why Dawn was so...harsh or careful with this topic was because...he had to be careful.

Dawn had to be careful about pieces of information so that he wouldn't make any wrong decisions that would cost him any goblins at all.

After all, if Moris said that the monsters didn't know that they were under attack, yet, they were able to prepare, things would quickly turn worse.

What's more, if the goblins came in unprepared and with wrong information, it is easy to guess that they would be easy to be killed.

That was why Dawn wanted to make sure at all costs, especially since this information was connected with the war itself.

Of course, Moris knew that very well, which is why he spoke.

He spoke so that his king would be able to rest assured.

"Please, do not worry."
