Chapter 68 Search For The Goblin Ii

"click, clomp"

"click, clomp".

The four Generals walked their way up the stairs leading to the upper floor.

Moving in a straight line with the first Goblin general taking the lead, the second Goblin general following behind and the third Goblin general at the back of the second Goblin general, then comes the fourth Goblin general.

No other sound was heard except for their footsteps ascending through the stairs.

With their stamina and body figure, they were able to make a trip that would take an athletic human three hours in thirty minutes, not that they know what time it is.

Getting out of the stairs, they were faced with multiple tunnels in the walls all around.

"haaaa....., the air of the upper floor, how very degrading" (second general).

"we should make haste and find that bastard of a goblin, I don't want to spend another moment stuck in this lowly place" (second general).

"what does it look to you like we are doing?" (first general).

The second general kept his mouth shut and his head down.

He did not want to anger the first general any further.

He knew the first general would not kill him as they are currently on an errand for their king, but that does not stop him from dishing out a trashing that will leave permanent bearings on him.

The second general did not want that, and so he kept his mouth sealed tight.

"hmmm....." (first general).

"what is the matter first general" (fourth general).

"the trail ends here. I can no longer pinpoint his whereabouts with it because his scent is all over the place" (first general).

"what should we do about this first general?, do we split up and search in different areas" (fourth general).

"that isn't safe. We are in an unknown territory and don't know what danger lurks in here" (first general).

"we have to thread with utmost caution" (first general).

"surely you gest first general. What sort of danger can lurk in this Inferior floor that will prove dangerous to the likes of us" (third general).

"third general, shall we make a wager" (first general).

"what sort of wager is that" (third general).

"you, if you are not careful, that overconfident attitude of yours is what will lead you to your eventual death" (first general).

"you can take a separate route if you so wish, no one is stopping you, but know that you will be liable to fending for yourself" (first general).

The first Goblin general stopped walking and fixated his gaze on the third general, waiting for him to leave but he didn't.

"if you do plan on staying, then silence yourself and follow my lead like you are supposed to" (first general).

The first Goblin general sniffed the surrounding to try to get a distinguishing scent of the Goblin from the scent spread all around.

"I think I got it....., follow me" (first general).

The first general moved into one of the tunnels with the rest of the Generals following right behind him.

The four Generals mobiled themselves through the tunnel and got to the end of it, what they were faced with however was another set of tunnels in the walls.

"first general....." (fourth general).

"it's fine, I still have his smell lingering on my nose, I won't lose him" (first general).

The fourth general, called out to the first general in confirmation of him still being able to smell the Goblin's scent they are after and was relieved at the first general's affirmation.

"it's right....., this way" (first general).

The first general contemplated, with his eyes over the tunnels until he finally picked one.

He pointed to a tunnel that was situated on his left.

"gro....wl....., gro....wl....., gro....wl....."

They were all about to move into the tunnel when they heard the growling sound and stopped.

"that was the growling of a beast right?" (first general)

"it seems so" (fourth general).

From the tunnel the four Generals had planned to go into, wild dog's four times the size of the one the Goblin was faced with when he was still a Cub, walked out.

The wild dog's came out not alone, but in packs.

"this lowly beasts do not seem to know the difference between a prey and an owner" (second general).

"fourth general" (first general).

"i am on it" (fourth general).

The fourth Goblin general came out to the front and stood before the wild dog's, with the intention of taking them on.

one of the wild dog's jumped at the fourth Goblin general, but was pushed back with the general's fist landing on its face.

It's body fell on the floor with its face shattered, it did not take long for it to die.

The wild dog's seeing what has been done to one of them, growled more aggressively as they moved to surround the fourth Goblin general.

"I had expected them to take to their heels after what happened to that one, but it seems they are even more stupid than I give them credit for" (second general).

"considering their overall numbers, this must be their territory. No matter what level of beasts they are, they would not be willing to give up their territory to an intruder without a fight" (first general).

"fourth general, do away with them all. We have no time to waste on the likes of them" (first general).

The wild dog's with a coordinated timing, jumped at the fourth general Goblin from all sides.

The fourth general Goblin stretched his hands sideways with his double edged axe situated at on his left hand and wide open.

He started spinning his body, going faster with every spin, all the while cutting down the wild dog's.

***

In no time, the fourth Goblin general finished dealing with the wild dog's and resumed their search for the Goblin.

They thought they were getting closer to the Goblin after going down the hole where the Goblin's odor reeked out more.

What they found however was a massive gate sealed tight.

They did everything to try getting the door open, but it wouldn't budge at all.

The second and third general suggested going back to search the other tunnels for where the Goblin might be, but the first general declined.

He was certain that the Goblin ended up here after his escape from the cell.

His detection ability was something he had his full trust in,

Multiple times he has managed to sniff out the Orcs from their hiding place despite them always changing locations after every discovery.

With the first Goblin's disapproval on going to search elsewhere, they had to wait in front of the massive gate for when the Goblin hopefully comes out.

After waiting for a very long time and still no sign of the Goblin coming out, the first general ordered the second and third general to carry on with their first suggestion while he and the fourth general wait in front of the gate.
