"You sure about this?" I asked.
"Yeah, do it," Mido said with a fearless smile.
As all eyes gathered on me, I spoke in a loud voice. "This demihuman refuses to obey me! He dares spout an opinion different than mine! Such an act is equal to putting a hedge between us goblins and the elves. He may be a demihuman chief, but he will not be forgiven for this transgression!"
The fact that I was basically explaining everything made the whole thing seem like one big joke, but I had to, as it was necessary to make what was going on as easy to understand as possible.
"You call abandoning the elves and running with your tail in between your legs a strategy!?" Mido said.
"It seems you still fail to see the error in your ways!" I said as I made a gaudily loud whipping sound with the whip in my hands.
"GUuNU!" Mido cried out in pain though he tried to stifle it.
I smiled. "Do you understand yet?"
"You think a weak attack like this..."
"Pin him down!" I ordered the goblins, then I proceeded to whip Mido.
Mido tried to argue, but I ignored his arguments and unjustly whipped him.
That was the show we put on, and we continued it for about 30 minutes.
"Hmph, if you understand, then from now on, you'll do well to remember your place!"
A horrible performance if I say so myself, but it's still better than not trying. I even concluded this joke of a play by unnaturally kicking Mido away.
"Into the gaols!" I said.
I went back to the old chief's house, and after making sure there was no one around, sat and exhaled deeply.
"You seem exhausted," Shunaria said.
I wryly smiled. "It's still exhausting even if we're just acting... Or rather, it's precisely because we're acting that it's exhausting. Sigh... I don't want to ever do this again."
"Really? I thought goblins would be a bit more... Umm, forget it."
"Cruel? Monsters who like to oppress others?"
"...Yes," Shunaria embarrassedly admitted.
"You're not wrong. We goblins are indeed bloodthirsty, cruel, and sadistic, but I'm... No, my subordinates are different," I said. "We are warriors. War is a tool to make the world acknowledge us. We can't be forbearing, no. Forbearance is a privilege of the victor. The defeated has no room for it or pity. Until now we were losers. People like that don't have that privilege of forbearance, but that's going to change from here on out."
The black snake, Verid, who was coiled around my right arm and the will of the twin-headed snake imbued in the gem on my left hand stirred.
"Yesterday's winners will not necessarily be today's winners. We might be 10,000 steps late, but we will still rise and challenge the humans who rule this world. To that end, we must become strong. In body, of course, but also in mind."
