I added the necessary information on the stone-made map of the Fortress of the Abyss. That was a map that put together using Shure's map and the information from the goblin scouts.

"To the south are killer ants and scarabs."

According to Gi Gu Verbena of the wolf pack, the big players in the south are the orcs, the killer ants, and the scarabs.

Perhaps I could make use of them in the coming war.

The numerous killer ants with a force comparable to that of the southern goblins. The powerful scarabs who can't fight for a long time.

Neither of them can easily be used. I suppose you could say they're defective to some extent. I'd like to investigate more if possible, but it seems the coming war is going to be a lot bigger than expected.

I looked at the walls drawn on the map.

According to the ancient beast tamer, Gi Gi, who came from the north, there weren't any particularly strong forces there.

The north was apparently mostly a marsh rich with various beasts and vegetation.

To the west are the demihumans and the elves. We are currently allied and our relationship is going smoothly.

As for the humans to the east, they haven't made made any move so far. The orc king, Bui, and his men are keeping an eye on the humans as well as acting as a breakwater in case they decide to attack. The kobolds led by Hasu are also situated to the east. They make their living by leeching off the orcs.

On top of that, we also have another base in Gi Go's old village, where I had a beacon built. It is being taken care of by the Ganra tribe and the water mage, Gi Bi, and the beast tamer, Gi Bu.

There had been no news of the south since dispatching the mad lion, Gi Zu Ruo, but that changed after Gi Gu Verbena returned.

Presently, it could be said that the south has calmed down.

Of course, that's a result brought about by Gi Gu's attempt to connect the scattered villages. The way he went about things allows one to quickly expand territory.

We have no rule in lands without goblins.

There are no goblins in the area near the southern desert. It is inhabited solely by the killer ants and the scarabs. There are no known predators in the area either.

I don't know how long this false peace with the humans will last, but I should consider sending a force to the south.

If we can reason with them, we'll talk, but if not, we'll break their legs and make them kneel. Either way they will serve my purpose.

It would be problematic, however, if the killer ants and scarabs end up becoming much bigger than expected. Taking on two such races at the same time is quite risky. We should investigate first, but there's not much time until the war.

As I thought that, I wondered to myself who I should send.

Gi Gu is the ruler of the south. It's his land too, so I would be spitting on his face if I were to send another goblin to investigate.
