Like a Goblin

While Ru fakes interest in Dwarf's mining, my ant returns to the Maze, uses the tunnel, and comes down the stairwell. I'm received by a rain of arrows on my Goblin form, and after seeing that I keep walking forward the Goblin Queen comes closer. She knows that I told her that we will meet before the battle, so she wants to know what changed. But I speak first.

" All elves return home fast. Close the portal, and any way to move down. Queen Goblin is time. "

" Ruby ... I don't understand ... "

" There is nothing to understand, Queen. We are monsters, is time to stop planning like humans do. "

My Goblin form blows the horn, the Elves shake, and evacuate fast. The Queen smiles. Slowly a few Goblins come closer, and look at me, and the Queen. Then the clan leaders arrive nods to the Queen, and look at the stairwell.

They begin talking, and planing, giving time for the rest of the goblins arrive ... but they don't move. So I say.

" Cave smells good. "

A simple sentence that makes the soldiers raise their noses high, and get closer. The Clan leaders make a gesture, and the forces begin to line up. They know that they can't stop the hungry goblins gathering near the entrance of the cave, so they pretend that is their idea.

" Rabbits. "

Says the first clan leader, he uses gloves, stolen from an adventurer probably. And his men march with him. The others follow. The Queen raises her hands, and smiles.

" Noisy humans don's let Goblin sleep ... Stop them. Hahahaha. "

_One sentence, and there is no more military order. A green wave of chaos flows inside the cave, and climbs the stairs. Ru, and the twins are mining again, when they begin to hear the screams. A simple trick to not anyone suspect that Ru is making all this. _Dior is near us, supervising the digging, when the Master Dwarf arrives with the bad news.

" Goblins. "

One word that makes the miners stop working, and we all begin to run. Dior tries to return to her laboratory, but a green wave of teeth and stones prevents all from returning. They caught them all by surprise, like I planed. And while Ru, and the others are still running, I make my move. In the middle of the confusion, I enter a side tunnel, and send Ru to the inventory. My goblin form joins the moving wave going upstairs, but I follow a different path.

When I was at Dior's laboratory I scanned all the magic traps, except one area that was empty. There is one particular box that couldn't be touched by the magic traps ... and is now on my hands ...

" Nullstone Ring scanned. Anti-Magic Skill unlocked."

Ant-magic ... I was expecting something similar ... Let me test it ... first destroy all magic traps that are surrounded this vials ... it works ... now all to the inventory ... And finally the seals on the other passages. Dior is smart, without time to rebuild the chamber, she sealed all the entrances with magic, except one ... Moving my tentacle I can see the anti-magic field erasing all seals on the ground ... And here comes the Goblins ... braking all because the insole shield is gone.

I already secure all, so they are just having fun with empty vials, and chairs ... Tossed against the adventurers that were carrying rocks ... Smart ... But they have no chance ... Even with such great numbers, soon more adventurers will come to this town. But for now let them feast ... No one is seeing me ... back to slime form ... and move fast ...

Return to the cave near the wall, so that I can move against the current of the Goblin river ... And here they are, humans. and beasts ... never listen. I return to my Goblin form, and the Elf Queen looks at me, I let her speak first.

" I would like for the Goblin Queen to join my floor, Ruby. "

The Goblin Queen kneels, and points to the village, then she speaks.

" I would like to bring ... the pregnant women, Ruby. "

They all wait for my answer, I point to the portal, and explain.

" The Goblins need a leader, they are preparing to go out of the Maze. You caught them without warning, but humans will not take this easily.** Move fast. After the children were born, educate them. Living surrounded by Elves, they can learn how not to hate their friends. "**

" What are you going to do, Ruby ... "

" Humans need reasons for all ... 4 million goblin are still in the Maze, 1 million are leaving the Maze. Move fast Elf Queen, the goblins shield you, is now your time to shield them. Close the gate after. "

" I'll lead my clan, Ruby ... Hahaha ... First you gave me a land, and now a town to loot ... "

" Rocks and sticks are not enough, Goblin Queen. Tell them to grab whatever they can. I was planing to teach you how to improve your gear ... but is easier to find them. "

" Speaking like a goblin, Ruby ? Hahaha ... Take of my people, Elf Queen ... They are now your people ... A floor with elves, and Goblins ... are you planning to ... I will not see it ... But is a good plan, Ruby."

I stop talking, and join the Goblins climbing the stairs, in a never ending wave of green shouts and teeth. The Town belongs to the Goblins, is time for Greedy humans know that.
