Brushing off the approaching blade, Gi Zu thrust the butt of his spear into the side of the enemy goblin rare. As the enemy goblin rare flew through the air, he followed after him, then as he tried to pick himself up, hit his legs. No longer able to stand the pain, the goblin rare fell to the ground. Gi Zu grabbed his head with one hand.

"Surrender, or else..." Gi Zu threatened to crush the enemy goblin's head with his hand.

The goblin rare cried as Gi Zu gripped tighter and tighter, until eventually, he was at the brink of losing consciousness.

"I give, I give! Spare me!" The goblin rare cried.

"Good," Gi Zu said.

Upon release, the goblin rare prostrated himself before Gi Zu, who looked down at him for a moment before turning to eye the surrounding normal goblins.

He spoke in a commanding tone. "From this day onwards, this village belongs to I, Gi Zu Ruo! If you resist, you will die!"

After being sent away by the king to expand the horde, Gi Zu Ruo renewed his loyalty to the king.

"I need to be more like Lord Gi Ga," he muttered.

During the battle with the Orc King, Gi Ga Rax lost an arm and a leg to ensure the king's victory. Though at the time Gi Zu did not understand it, the king rewarded Gi Ga with a rider-beast, and then the humans whom Gi Ga had befriended gave him a new leg. To Gi Zu, Gi Ga was a person worthy of admiration.

Gi Zu had been wielding a spear for as far as he could recall. Not long after he was born in the same village as Gi Ga, he was taken into Gi Ga's spear squad, and then they fought against the orc king. It was then that he received the blessing of the mad god and recklessly cut down enemy after enemy.

By the time he realized it, he had evolved from a mere goblin into something with relatively more wisdom.

Gi Zu was grateful for his good fortune that allowed him to survive despite recklessly running around wildly by himself.

As he walked along the area, he thought to himself, This fortune must also be because of the king and Lord Gi Ga.

If so, then he must fulfill his mission and gather more goblins for the king.

Goblins didn't grow on trees, however; therefore, he had no choice but to look for the small goblin villages scattered throughout the forest, gathering the small hordes one at a time.

A few days after Gi Zu parted with the king, he came across a small goblin village.

It was a small horde of 30 goblins, but Gi Zu valiantly charged in head-on and challenged their chief. The enemy chief being a goblin rare, naturally could not win against Gi Zu, who was not only a goblin noble but also a battle-scarred veteran. After suppressing them, Gi Zu immediately made them swear fealty to the king, then he asked the goblin rare of the other goblin hordes living nearby.

It was then that he found out there was another goblin noble nearby.

"Oh? is that goblin stronger than me?" Gi Zu asked.

"I don't know, but... He's big and his weapon is strong," the goblin replied.

Gi Zu thought it unfortunate that the goblin rare couldn't tell him more, but he had his own ideas when it came to these sort of matters.

"I'll just have to see him for myself then." Gi Zu fiercely smiled as he decided to have the goblin rare lead him to that goblin noble. "Hmm... But before that..."
