Adventures Of A Goblin

When they were done with the meeting consisting only of the high members in the specie, they arrived at a conclusion that involves Orun going to the Elven nation along with an entourage of his own.

It was decided that he would start his journey there only after he was done witnessing the evolution of the Troll Chief and the rest of the Trolls with Wildria by his side.

Wirh that said, Orun and Wildria made their way to the sand cave that is still under construction, halted for now, but will continue once the Trolls are done evolving.

Orun and Wildria have been staying in the cave since the meeting was done with, so they could be there when the Trolls start their evolution.

As for Theron and Monryck, they are above ground, in the forest specifically to coordinate the group living above.

Monryck was tasked with introducing Theron to the rest of the monster kin that has been recruited so far, while Orun and Wildria will watch over the Trolls evolution.

"Wildria, when I am gone, I want you to continue the monster recruitment into the desert".

From the sand acting as the solid ground, Orun formed out a stool from it, for he and Wildria to sit on while they monitor the Trolls.

Unlike Orun, Wildria is not as enthusiastic when it comes to recruiting the monster species.

She is leaning more on them taking care of the forest first and providing the basic amenities for survival that is guaranteed to rely on, not the scavenging they are currently into.

They still do not have a reliable source to get water from, and only rely on Orun to use his teleportation as he does for the food, to procure water into several jar for them to drink on whenever they are thirsty.

Everything is all a mess from Wildria's point of view, a mess that Orun though very much aware of it, seeks to ignore it for the sake of having more monsters in the habitat.

It is as if he does not know that if all this conditions are not met with in time, it could blow up in his face in a not so good way.

While Orun goes out to recruit, Wildria is the one who have been putting everything together by passing down rules that will help maintain the water they have, rationing it so it will last them a long time.

If she is not present as the alpha in their midst, to guide them in those aspects, there is no way the monsters will be coordinated amongst themselves, especially with most of them being equal in strength.

It is not too far fetched to consider Wildria as the mother of the desert whose position is to see to it that order reigns and it is maintained at all times.

"listen Orun. You should assign Theron or Monryck or any other member to do that. I have a lot to deal with already".

It is not an Underestimated statement to say that all the inhabitant of the desert are stronger than eighty percent of monsters out there.

Even the lowest amongst them has an existential value of one hundred thousand, putting them all as disaster class monsters capable of feats committed by Orun when he was once a disaster class.

Giving them the task of recruiting newbie monster specie would do the job as they can easily overpower most of the monsters they will come by.

Orun also knew that and what they are capable of, but he still insists on having Wildria to be the one to go.

"don't you think the leaders of the specie will find it offensive when they discover that the one's who bested them is one of the subordinate and not a leading figure".

Orun's reasons for not wanting to send anyone other than Wildria all comes down to maintaining the hierarchy.

Whatever monster specie that is recruited, the leader of the specie will have a table amongst the decision makers of the soon to come empire.

But, what will become of the reputation of a leader who got beaten up by a subordinate with no seat at the high table (short for where the leaders of each monster species gather to make decisions).

Orun wants to maintain the hierarchy and he can only do that by preventing a scenario like that from taking place.

Even if the leader ends up getting evolved and become stronger than the subordinate that bested him in combat, it still doesn't wash away the fact that he has been bested.

The respect in that situation will be questioned by the subordinate who has once won against the leader.

Of course, this is just an hypothesis that Orun cannot be sure would happen in the long run. But as the saying goes; prevention is better than cure.

"as for Theron or Monryck, they will not be available to go".

In Monryck's case, he is eligible to go out and recruit because he is a leader of a specie, so there will be no hierarchy lost, and might even lead to the beginning of a rivalry.

He would have sent Monryck to go in place of Wildria. However, he can't do that for two good reasons.

The first is that Monryck is still not fully committed to Orun's cause. The reason why Monryck is with Orun, is because he fears him not because he is unconditionally loyal to him unlike the Trolls who have pledged their loyalty to him, or the Wyverns who also pledged their loyalty to him.

Majority of the Minotaurs respect Orun and are willing to follow him, but their leader is not the case.

If Monryck who is not one hundred percent committed to his cause was tasked with recruiting members for his cause, he won't take it as seriously as Wildria or the Troll leader will.

"the other reason why Monryck will not be available is because I plan on having him and Theron escort me to the Elven nation".
