Inside the Goblin's lair, the atmosphere was solemn and quiet.
Goblin Fang stood aside, a look of worry on his face.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"General, there is news from the Goblin Empire."
Goblin General Ren raised his brows slightly, motioning for him to continue.
Goblin Fang paused, his voice trembling:
"The war... the war has begun."
He lowered his head, not daring to look the general in the eye.
"Are you urging me to come over?" The general's voice was calm and firm.
"Yes, it is."
Goblin Fang raised his head and saw the general's deep eyes.
The general nodded and stood up.
He looked around at the people who lived in this nest.
His eyes were full of warmth and determination, as if they were an invisible force that soothed everyone's heart.
"Don't worry, the war won't spread here."
He spoke slowly, his voice loud and powerful.
"If there are any changes, I will come and inform you. You can continue to live and work here and reproduce."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the nest.
Goblin Fang looked at his back, his heart filled with respect and reluctance.
He knew that once the general left, he didn't know when he would be back.
At the entrance of the goblin's lair, the general stopped and turned around.
He looked at Goblin Fang and Ted, a gentle smile on his face.
"I'll leave this place to you while I'm away."
He said, stretching out his big warm hands and gently placing them on Goblin Fang's head.
Goblin Fang raised his head and looked into the general's trusting and gentle eyes.
A warm current surged in his heart, as if there was an infinite power supporting him.
He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination:
"Yes! General! I will definitely protect the nest! I will never let any enemy invade our home!"
Ted also stood aside and echoed:
"Me too!"
"Ah."
Goblin General Ren nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and head towards the Goblin Empire.
"Ren~"
A voice as gentle and charming as the spring breeze suddenly sounded in the air.
He looked towards the source of the sound and saw a female knight standing there.
She was wearing armor, yet still looked gentle and graceful. She was none other than Hongmei.
"Are you leaving again?"
Hongmei's eyes were full of reluctance, and her words revealed a deep attachment.
Goblin General Ren looked at her and nodded again, "Yeah, something's up."
Although his voice was calm, it concealed a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect.
Hongmei did not ask about the specific things. She knew Ren's character. If he didn't want to talk, it would be useless to ask again.
So she bit her lip lightly, as if she had made up her mind, and looked up at him.
"Can I come with you?"
However, Goblin General Ren shook his head decisively.
"No, not all generals can accept humans."
A hint of sadness flashed across Hongmei's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She suppressed her disappointment and forced a smile.
"Then, can I talk to you alone?"
Having said that, Hongmei's gaze unconsciously fell on Goblin Fang and Ted beside her.
Ted was speechless for a moment. He didn't mean to be a third wheel.
At the general's signal, they tactfully retreated dozens of steps until they could no longer hear the sound and could only see the man and the goblin standing there.
The woman seemed very serious, and Goblin General Ren did not urge her and just stood there quietly, waiting for her to speak.
In fact, even Goblin Fang knew it.
The feelings of the female knight named Hongmei towards the Goblin General.
Even in the nest, many people of the opposite sex have love for General Ren.
But, in the eyes of General Ren, there are only ideals.
"How envious I am, General!"
Seeing this, Ted knew the result and there was no need to read on, so he turned back to look at Goblin Fang.
"You're not leaving?"
"I'll wait."
Goblin Fang shook his head.
"Ah"
Ted chuckled, waved his hand, and said before leaving:
"Sometimes, I really wonder if you are a goblin."
"Not all goblins are evil," Goblin Fang retorted.
"maybe"
As he finished speaking, Ted's figure disappeared at the dark end of the lair entrance.
And Hongmei, who was not far away, seemed to have made up her mind and used a lot of effort to say something.
However, Goblin General Ren's expression was so gentle, but the words he said made Hongmei lower her head and walk back in frustration.
"Hey"
Goblin Fang sighed, yet another woman harmed by the general.
At this moment, his dissatisfaction with the female knight was much less.
In fact, when those female knights came to the nest, he thought they were plotting something and was on guard against them everywhere.
But more than a month has passed and there has been nothing unusual.
He even helped their nest hunt monsters, collect food, and gain support from his fellow nest members.
There was no need for him to be on guard everywhere.
"Don't be sad, General, he just--"
Goblin Fang had never comforted anyone before, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort anyone.
"puff"
Seeing the embarrassed green face, Hongmei laughed out loud.
"I'm fine."
She wiped her tears and said with a forced smile:
"In fact, I knew I was rejected when I confessed my love to you."
"Then why say goodbye?"
Goblin Fang was puzzled.
“We already know the result”
"Even if I knew the result, I wouldn't accept it!"
Hongmei looked up at the sky, her eyes red.
"You know what? Before I saw Ren, I always thought that goblins were lustful, evil, and cunning."
Goblin Fang did not refute this.
There is no way to refute it.
Low-level goblins are indeed like this.
Therefore, there are no low-level goblins in General Ren's lair.
"Until I met Jen, and he saved me"
Hongmei looked at Goblin Fang, and her previous weakness disappeared, replaced by an extremely firm look.
It was a look of incomparable determination that Goblin Fang had never seen before.
It was as if Hongmei’s previous confusion was all fake.
"In fact, I don't believe such goblins exist."
Hongmei continued, and Goblin Fang didn't interrupt.
"So, when Ren rescued me and invited me, I accepted."
"At that time, I wanted to expose that hypocritical face and pluck off that kind smile."
"Then," Hongmei chuckled.
"you failed"
Goblin Fang said on behalf of Hongmei.
"That's right"
She raised her eyes high, but tears still fell.
