Gi De's subordinates returned in haste and reported to the water mage, Gi Zo.

"Humans are attacking?"

Gi Zo did not know much about humans. The most he knew about them were the king's treasures, Reshia and Lili. Then there was Mattis who would prepare dried meat for them and the humans who would repair the fences.

"The humans killed Gi De!?"

The reporting goblin shivered in fright when he saw the usually calm Gi Zo turn furious. The goblin continued to shake as he reported that Gi Zo sacrificed himself to let them go. By the end of the report, Gi Zo was shaking in fury.

"It doesn't matter who it is. If they bare their fangs against us, then we shall cut them down."

He needed to inform the spearman, Gi Da, too. So he ordered the goblin to send word. As for him, he had to pay a visit to the king's treasure, Lady Reshia.

There would probably be some unrest from the humans because of who they were fighting. He hoped Reshia and Lili could help quell that unrest. This particularity of his to be concerned about others' feelings is one of the things the king and Gi Za held in esteem. Unfortunately, they were the only ones who thought so.

To the goblins, power is everything. Things like concern or empathy, which have no effect on one's social standing in the horde couldn't be any less relevant. And it would be so until the king solidifies his position as the rightful ruler of the horde.

Gi Zo himself did not see his power as greater than his peers, though he did find himself lacking from time to time. Because of that he felt the weight of his duty as the caretaker of the village.

"Lady Reshia, Lord Lili, it's Gi Zo," Gi Zo knocked, and the ladies granted him permission to enter.

Gi Zo's respectful attitude to the king's treasure was also born from his sense of responsibility. As he entered the crude yet orderly house of the king, he began to explain the situation. He held down the fury brimming within from the death of Gi De as he calmly reported to the king's treasure. Afterwards, he asked them to help calm the humans.

"Very well. I shall do as you ask," Reshia said.

Letting out a breath of relief, Gi Zo left the house. In his eyes burnt the fire of wrath born from the loss of his brethren.

"Lord Gi Zo," the spearman, Gi Da, had his spear over his shoulder as he called out to him.

"Has lord Gi Ga returned?" Gi Zo asked, to which Gi Da shook his head. "Then there's no other choice. We will have to overcome this danger ourselves... Lord Gi Da, I leave the village to you. I shall scatter the humans."

Gi Da's eyes opened wide upon hearing those words.

"No. I, should go! Lord Gi Za, is the village chief! I go!"

His burning heart seemed to fan his feelings, and he stamped his feet and even hit the ground with the butt of his spear.

"Not quite, Lord Gi Da. It is Lord Gi Ga who is in charge of the village. I am merely a representative, but it is my duty to protect the village."

Gi Da eventually understood after it was repeatedly explained to him. The difference in intelligence between a normal goblin and a druid was big. Fortunately, Gi Zo was able to convince Gi Da to let him go.
