The fleeing goblins could not run as fast as they could because of the humans and the pregnant goblins, but they still orderly left the village with Gi Ga Rax at the lead and Gi Da right behind.

A full day had passed since Gi Ga and his men left the village. At this time, Alashd had already arrived where the king was. And though dirty and unwashed, the first thing he sought was an audience with the king.

He told the king of the human threat approaching the village. A look of shock appeared on the king's eyes, but that was all, and it was only for a moment.

"Gather the men!" The king said. "We set off at once! Kuzan will defend the fortress!"

With Kuzan watching over the fortress, the king left the fortress with the rest of the goblin army. At the lead was Gi Gi, followed by the young chieftain of Paradua, Hal, and the king himself leading the rest of the tribes. Like this the goblin army headed east.

Meanwhile, the adventurer group led by Gulland was forced to stop a day's distance from where Gi Zo was killed.

"Gowen, that bastard!"

Gulland heaved and fumed as he looked for Gowen Ranid, who was yet to arrive.

"It can't be helped. We'll have to wait. Even we can't move without supply," Wyatt said as he tried to calm the fuming Gulland.

"It's because the only thing he has going for him is that big body of his," Mill said in a rare moment of agreement with Gulland, clearly annoyed at not being able to leave despite already breaking camp.

"We mustn't be hasty. This too is the will of god," the White Hand of Life generously said, to which Vitz and Yugil who were already used to her antics looked at each other, and wryly smiled.

Now as for why the adventurers found themselves at a standstill here, the answer was quite simple. It's because they have no supplies.

The three holy knights originally agreed to go their own ways, but the land seeking Gowen and the hunt seeking Gulland saw an opportunity to be had.

In order to achieve their own goals, the both of them decided to neglect the mission of saving the saint. Gowen wanted land and Gulland wanted to hunt. One was a feudal lord who wished to expand his territory and the other was a famous adventurer. It wasn't hard to see that they could benefit from each other if they just put away their emotions and worked together.

The feudal lord would provide the supplies: food, water, medicine, and other goods, while the adventurer would cut down the monsters, and clear the land.

"Well, you are a cowardly bastard who can't even protect himself," Gulland said.

"Just think of it as me hiring a pack of watch dogs," Gowen calmly replied.

It was in this way that the two of them came to an agreement, and as a result, the adventurers couldn't stray too far from the feudal lord and his men lest they wished to find themselves without supplies.

The adventurers wanted to go hunt the rest of the goblins, but couldn't because the feudal lord's group was too slow. But that was to be expected, after all they were building a road as they followed from behind.

There might not be any monsters left for them to fight, but they still had to pull out the trees and dig out the ground, so of course they were going slow.
