The shaman, Gi Za Zakuend, stifled his yawn as he looked at the empty path ahead. He thought for sure the enemy would attack them, but no one came. That being the case, his attention naturally went to the demihumans traveling with him.

"I thought for sure they'd attack us instead of the king. Hmm... maybe they really are trying to run away," Gi Za muttered.

Gi Za has been studying the araneae's skill since they arrived at the araneae village. What properties does it have? How is it woven? Gi Za dragged Selena with him to ask those questions, and the araneae could not say no. Every one of them diligently answered his questions. Because of that Gi Za managed to spend his days immersed in his research. But now he was having some doubts about this expedition.

The king expected the enemy to run, but from Gi Za's interactions with the araneae, there were unexpectedly few araneae who were as wise as Nikea. Most of them seemed to detest the goblins, finding them beneath them. The other demihumans probably felt the same. If so, then the centaurs would be most likely to attack than to run.

But contrary to Gi Za's expectation, the enemy didn't come. Perhaps they attacked the king's horde instead, but there was nothing to worry about, as the king would easily be able to subjugate them.

There were roughly 80 goblins and demihumans following Gi Za. Gi Jii was his assistant, but the mission of delivering this horde to the centaurs' doorsteps fell on him.

They had split the horde because there were just too many of them to easily traverse the forest, but in the end, there were still too many. Gi Za sighed.

The rizalat and the werewolves had already gone ahead as their mission was to keep the centaurs from running away.

Accompanying Gi Za were the shell tribe, the Papirsags led by Luther. Luther was not walking on his own legs and was instead riding on a beast, a turtle four times the size of a goblin.

The ancient beast warrior, Gi Gi Orudo, looked with envy at Luther's mount. It was supposedly a turtle, but it moved quite fast. The ivies growing on its body seemed to be aiding its movements. Gi Za's eyes dazzled as he looked with curiosity at those ivies.

Sensing his gaze, Luther moved up to the middle of the horde beside Gi Za.

"Is something the matter?" He bluntly asked.

Gi Za honestly nodded. "I'm interested in that turtle. Or more specifically, those ivies. Why is it helping the turtle move? Is it magic? A magic we goblins do not know of, or perhaps... a skill. If it's none of these, then I would truly appreciate it if you could enlighten me! In fact, if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could also tell me about the other demihumans or perhaps even the magic of the elves!"

Before Luther knew it, Gi Za had already climbed up his turtle.

Gi Za's fervor for the unknown left Luther's mouth open.

"H-How about you ask one at a time first," Luther said.

"Alright," Gi Za agreed.

If the generals act cordially toward each other, it's only natural that the subordinates would follow suit, so it should come as no surprise when the curious goblins mustered their courage to strike up a conversation with the demihumans. At first, both parties were awkward, but gradually, the goblins and the demihumans warmed up to each other.
