Before the Goblin king departed with the Goblin army for the extermination of the Orcs, the four Generals have already began acting on the orders of their king.
All dressed in leather that covered only their lower body part, and showcasing their thick muscles.
The first place they went to, was the prison the Goblin had escaped from.
The first general entered the cell while the rest of the Generals stayed outside of it.
The third and fourth general leaned on the cell's iron bar and the second general leaned on the wall facing the cell.
The first general got into the cell and sniffed th surroundings.
He placed his hand on the floor and scraped the left behind blood of the Goblin with his finger.
The first general brought the finger close to his nose and sniffed it deeply.
"i have marked him, we can now begin the hunt".
With the first general taking the lead, they all made their way out of the prison.
The four Generals walked along the forest with the first general at the front.
"i still think it is unnecessary for the four of us to go after one Goblin". (second general).
The second Goblin general broke the silence that had reigned during their walk.
"are you questioning the orders of our king" (first general).
"why would I do such a thing?" (second general).
"I am simply in doubt for all four of us to be chasing after a goblin" (second general).
"I agree with the second general on this" (third general).
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm "we all saw the Goblin's fight against the blood ring arena champion", (third general).
"he was pathetic to say the least. Yet all four of us are being dispatched to go after him", (third general).
"I don't approve of this at all" (third general).
"your approval is not needed third general. You are only to do as our king has commanded" (first general).
"I know that all too well, all I am saying is....." (third general).
"like I said, your approval is not necessary here. Do only as you are ordered to" (first general).
"did I make myself clear enough" (first general).
Giving the third general an hateful look that was enough to bend his will into submission.
"yes..., yes first general" (third general).
"great. Second general, the same also applies to you" (first general).
"your comment on our king's orders is not needed nor is questioning his order going to be tolerated, not by you or anyone else" (First general).
"I understand" (second general).
The first general having made himself clear, took his focus back to tracking down the Goblin, and silence once again reigned amongst them.
Following the scent of the Goblin, they eventually arrived at a pathway leading to the upper floor.
The first general stopped and the other generals coming from the back also did.
He sniffed the air in the surroundings harder with his head turning sideways.
"his trail leads further up" (first general).
"up?, isn't that the place where the lower lifeforms reside in" (second general).
"It is" (third general).
"tsk.." (fourth general).
They all had the sound that came from the fourth general, and the second general was the quickest to express his curiosity on it.
"what is it fourth general" (second general).
"when our king ordered for me to bring him in the first time, it was here that we had to wait for him to arrive in" (fourth general).
"hmm....., so the upper floor is where he came from?" (first general).
"that would explain a lot on why he is that way towards our king" (first general).
"I remember now. Fourth general, is it true you lost a third of your unit trying to capture him" (second general).
"...." (fourth general).
"I found it hard to believe when I heard it. You were always the weakest out of us four, but to think you would lose a third of your forces to a single Goblin?" (second general).
"exactly what were you thinking or doing to have allowed something like that to happen" (second general).
"It was a direct order from our king, and I needed to be sure of what I was dealing with before jumping into it. That is what led to me losing one third of my men" (fourth general).
"so you sacrificed your forces in fear of what is going to appear in the lower floor inhabitated only by the weak?" (second general).
"I must say fourth general, you really do bring shame to the general title by being afraid of a being above ground" (second general).
"that is enough mockery from you second general" (first general).
"but I am simply speaking the truth. He has always been undeserving of the general title, and him sacrificing a third of his forces is proof of that" (second general).
"do not criticize him too much, the fourth general only did what he thought was right" (third general),
"his strength is nowhere near ours, using low handed tactics is the only way for him to survive" (third general).
"hahahaha. You speak true third general" (second general).
"my bad fourth general, I should have known better that you would need to resort to other means to living up to your general title" (second general).
The fourth Goblin general could do nothing but watch and listen as the second and third general gawn at him.
Their reasons for being this way towards him was understandable and bearable.
The general position is one uphelding a high authority second only to the Goblin king.
The first down to the third General are deserving of their strength and title as Generals.
Where as he, he was only named the fourth general due to having caught the Goblin king's attention.
Another reason was because there was no one else but him that could contend for the foruth general's position.
And another reason why he has managed to stay alive until now despite the hate directed at him by the second and third general is because he has the favoritism of the first general.
Without that, and in a place where the strong prey on the weak, he would have long been dead and his body decayed.
He does whatever he could do just so he can keep up with the other generals and maintain his position as the fourth general of the Goblins.
