The officers of the four battalions tasked to secure the mountain pass gathered for a meeting.
"Now that we have taken over this location, we have the advantage in the upcoming war." Said Garandel with a stern look.
"That is true, but Your Majesty, do you not find it suspicious?" Neo spoke with a baffled expression.
"What do you mean?" The elven king asked with a frown.
Neo took a deep breath before he replied. "The mountain pass is supposed to be a strategic point, but the colony didn't even send a single goblin chieftain to protect it. I had my men check the corpses and all of them are goblins and hobgoblins."
Hearing this, everyone's faces fell. It was indeed suspicious.
The elven king nodded in agreement. He was also baffled by this arrangement. Why didn't the colony send a powerful goblin to guard the mountain?
"I think this is a trap." Lucas suddenly spoke.
His words made everyone stare at him in surprise.
