A verdant forest, a middle and outer forest, where the Goblin army is stationed.

It was the second half of the night, some time before dawn, and I was stationed on a lookout somewhere.

I was in the middle of an observation deck on a high place, looking at the forest in front of the station, a forest of countless trees, and if you stood on a high altitude and watched this scene, you might be amazed that it was a spectacular sight, especially when the forest sea was blown by the gentle breeze and formed a tide like a wave, which was really shocking.

(Heh~ Although I am not human...... ）

But what I wanted to see more was the sea of forests illuminated by the slowly rising sun, especially the scene of birds flying over the branches of the forest, which was very moving.

However, it was still a while before the sun rose in the east, and it was a long time for me, a goblin who stood on the lookout and looked at the forest scenery outside the station......

Why don't you talk to Erenee for a while?

I couldn't help but think of the majestic and elegant forest elf, Ireni will be very gentle and peaceful to help others no matter who she treats, but when she is shy, she looks very much like a little girl, but if Ireni gets angry, it should be terrible, right?

Don't know what Irenee is doing now?

As I thought about it, I used my magic power to convey the almost transparent and invisible pale green mark in the palm of my left hand, and the original transparent mark instantly became deep and visible, and I saw this, and brought my left palm close to my mouth.

"Erenee, are you there?" I asked softly, pointing to the mark in my palm.

But there was only a silent silence in response, and no response came out of my mind, and sure enough, Irenee may not have cared about my active contact this time, right?

│Mmmm~ I'm here, do you have anything to do?│

After about a short while, Irenee's voice echoed in my head, and I couldn't help but feel a little happy the moment I heard Irenee's voice.

"It's okay, I just want to talk to you. I said immediately to the imprint in the palm of my left hand.

│...... Is that just the reason why you want to be with me, Tut?│

There was silence for a moment, and then her gentle voice asked again in my head.

"Yes, standing on the lookout and looking at Lin Hai in the middle of the night, I'm quite bored, so I have to talk to you now. I said in a flat and cordial tone.

│Then you're really idle~ You must know that I am still managing the various forests that were damaged by your battles during the war, Tut, do you know? The most serious damage in this war is the "green woodland"! I remember that it seems that you used a series of magic spells during the battle with Hoyle to cause the "Green Woodland" to be very badly damaged, especially since the elemental fusion magic of fire and thunder that you used at that time was too powerful...... │

The next second I finished speaking, Irenee's complaining voice kept telling in my head.

"At the time... I can't help it, after all, the difference between me and Hoyle is too big......" I explained apologetically when I heard Irenee's grumbling.

In my opinion, you are no weaker than Hoyle, and if you hone your skills and learn more combat skills and magic in the future, you will become stronger...... Hmm~ It's probably too early to tell you so much now. │

Hearing my apologetic words, Ireni echoed my voice in my head, like a teacher would say to a student, and I felt a warm feeling in my heart when I heard Ireni respond to my words.

"Thank you, Irene Nian. You're really gentle!" I said with a smile as I smiled at the mark in my left palm.

│...... Stupid!you.you.what are you talking nonsense?!I... How can it be...... │

Hearing me say it with a smile, Irenee's voice is like that of a girl who is overwhelmed by other people's confessions, well... Presumably she must be like a deer in her heart now, right?

│Forget it...... Hmph, Tut, you'd better go to bed early, goodbye!!│

However, before I could say anything again, Irenee seemed to be in a hurry to say goodbye to me, and as soon as her voice disappeared from my mind, the deep and visible mark on my left palm became transparent and invisible again.

Now I'm alone again... No, it's a goblin.

"Oh, Tut, are you watching the night view from the lookout?" Just as I was staring at Lin Hai in the distance in a sluggish state, a familiar male voice came from behind me.

The moment I heard this, I subconsciously turned around and stood behind me was Captain Dutt, who had just walked onto the lookout, and I saw him holding a sheepskin bag and flask with wine in one hand and smiling heartily at me.

"It's you, Captain Dutt. "I politely greeted Captain Dutt.

"You're welcome. ”

Dutt said as he walked towards the edge of the lookout, and when he reached the handrail, he stopped, only to see him looking at the forest in the distance as I did.

"Captain Dutt, are you also here to see the sunrise?" I asked Dutt, who was standing beside me, curiously.

"Sort of. Dutt nodded to me in the affirmative.

Looking at Dutt, who was standing beside me and looking intently at Lin Hai in the distance, I smiled, I didn't expect a warrior like him to have such a hobby......

"Would you like a bite?" Dutt asked, as if noticing my gaze at him, turning his head and holding the parchment flask in his hand in front of me.

"No, I don't like to drink. I smiled and declined Dutt's offer.

"yes, you don't like to drink?"

Dutt was taken aback at first, and then he opened his parchment and flask, put the spout to his lips, and drank it in a big gulp.

"You're all here?!"

Just then, another familiar voice came from behind Dutt and me, and when we looked back, we saw Captain Guga standing behind us.

"Captain Guga, you're here too?" I asked, looking a little surprised.

"yes, I was going to eat something alone here. By the way, do you want to eat my jerky?" Guga smiled when he heard my inquiry, and when he finished speaking, he saw Guga take a cloth bag out of his waist bag.

"What kind of meat jerky?" asked Dutt, who was still drinking, with interest when he heard Guga's invitation.

"The taste of wild boar meat is not bad, but it is a little hard. Guga explained to Dutt and me about the jerky in the cloth bag.

"Then let's try it!" Dutt swallowed, and said to Guga impatiently.

"Okay. ”

Gu Jia opened the cloth bag in his hand lightly, and the well-dried wild boar meat inside the cloth bag was flawlessly presented in front of our eyes, and Dutt couldn't wait to reach out and grab a piece and put it in his mouth, tearing it with a little effort.

"Tut, eat some too. Guga said to me magnanimously.

"Good. I nodded, and reached out my hand to take a piece of jerky from the bag.

I brought the jerky to my mouth and unceremoniously bit it, and the jerky of the wild boar meat was very hard, which showed that it was well dried. However, it tastes a little salty like most jerky, but it also has a lot of flavor as you chew it carefully.

Just as I was discussing the situation with Dutt and Guga about the battle against the Combine ten days ago, a dazzling warm golden sun slowly rose over the horizon at the eastern end of the forest sea.

We who were still chewing our own jerky couldn't help but look to the east when we saw this scene, the dazzling and bright sun had climbed to the sky at this time, and for a while, the green forest that was still in the haze instantly turned into a bright day, the birds sang on the branches of the forest, and even those carnivores living in the forest also let out a roar that must be shouted every day.

Looking at the view of the sun just rising and shining on the forest sea, Dutt and Guga and I couldn't help but sigh at the same time, if only my mother (Winya) could see this view......

No, I'll definitely see it later, as long as I implement that plan......

"If only that guy could see this view......," Dutt muttered to himself, looking at Lin Hai in the distance in the sunlight with some obsession.

"Yes. Guga took the last piece of jerky and put it in his mouth, nodded, and said slurred as he chewed.

When I heard Captain Duter's words, I was instantly reminded of the scene when Captain Shijay was crushed to the ground by the elves, and the warning he had given me during his dying......

“...... If I had arrived earlier to support him, he might not have died......" I whispered apologetically, bowing my head.

Dutt's expression changed to a little stunned when he heard what I said, but the stunned expression only lingered on his face for a moment, and then he looked at me with a peaceful smile.

"No, it's not your fault. If Xijie hadn't gone deep alone to fight the elven advance force alone, he wouldn't have died at all... In the end, it was all the result of his disregard for the patriarch's orders. Dutt patted me on the shoulder with a steady hand and motioned for me not to blame myself too much.

"You just have to be yourself!" Guga, who was standing beside me, also said to me.

While we were still talking, the goblin warriors, shamans, cavalrymen, and orc warriors in the garrison were free, and their leaders were brought out of their tents, and when I saw them lined up, I suddenly realized that today was the eleventh day of the garrison, and we were all going back to the city of Kejie.

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting. Dutt was the first to walk from the lookout to the ground, followed by Guga and I......

............

In the verdant forest, the middle and outer forests, and the main road leading to the main city of the Goblin Clan, the Goblin warriors and orc warriors walked in an orderly manner.

Looking at the warriors who followed me behind me, I slightly hooked the corners of my mouth, they were lucky to have survived this war......

"Is Tut going to our orc clan this time?" said Temo, who was walking beside me, as I was still thinking about the future of these warriors.

Hearing Temo's voice, I was still thinking about it, and my thoughts immediately stopped, Temo was going to invite me to the territory of the orcs? I remember that he invited me to the orc clan last time, but that time I politely declined his invitation.

This time Temo invited me again...... Am I going?

"Then when the celebration is over, I'll go with you!" I nodded affirmatively to Temo.

Hearing what I said, Temo's face instantly turned happy, because he finally invited this goblin who was different from other goblins!

"Hahaha! I've got time, so come with me!" said Temo cheerfully, laughing at me.

What is the place where the orcs live? If I go to my mother and the black-framed elders, they will be worried, right? But in order for me to become stronger, I also have to see the strength of the orcs!

"Did you hear that, this time, I invited the goblin you used to talk about last time!" Temo said smugly to the Chipbard beside him.

"Don't be verbose! I see you're itching again, I'm going to fight you then!" said Chipperd with a smile when he heard Temo's voice.

Hearing what Chipperd said, Temo's face twitched inexplicably, and the people around him couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene, and I also slightly hooked the corners of my mouth and laughed inadvertently......

............

Orcs?
