There was a knock at Colts door. Colt yell enter. King Acer and king Waylon both walk into Colts study. Gentleman please have a seat they both sat down not even acknowledging each other. Colt notice there indifference with each other. So Colt decided to be a smart ass. Colt looked at king Acer king Acer let me introduce you to king Waylon. And then Colt turned to king Waylon and king Waylon let me introduce you to a king Acer. King Acer i have met that animal before. That funny coming from a plant fucker replied king Waylon. They started going back and forward before Colt slam his hand down on his desk. You two need to stop your stit you both are the exactly the same if not nether one of yous would have to give me one of yours daughters to make peace with me. They both quiet down and just stare at Colt. Good if yous are done insulting each other and are done acting like
children we can actually get some work done Colt said. There was a moment of silence then Colt started talking. So in the past 40 years the kidnapping in the area of the goblin realm have been increasing and in the past 10 year it been the worst and worst. And livestock and produce have been going missing. King Waylon and king Acer both answered yes we have been noticing that. Do you know why that happened they both answered no. It happened because they have being working on increasing their army they currently have about 1.6 million goblin, 400,000 hobgoblin, 100,000 mage, and 20 goblin lords. They also are breeding war hogs, war dogs, war hawks, and war eagles. They have about 100,000 mounts and there are about 400 red caps. King Acer ask for the proof of the amount Colt showed Acer the information he have gathered. After looking over it Acer agreed with it. So why are they building up their troops so much that ? Ask king Waylon that easy Colt answer because thay are getting ready to attack the demi-human realm and the elf realm and take over your territory. When will they be attacking that I do not know but soon. So what are we planning to do with them asked king Way. I was planning to attack them once my troops are in place. So about 2 days from now answered Colt. What do you want us to do to help you ask king Acer. All I want from yous is to have your troops secure the border and not allowed any of the goblins escape. Don't you want any help with the attack on the goblins? Ask king Waylon. No I can manage the goblins but if they retreat i will not be able to chase them down. But if the elfs and demi-humans have the border lock down the goblins will not be able to get away they will have to submit or die. What will happen to the goblin realm lands ask king Acer. Colt pull out a new map with all the new border so this is the current map of area it have the goblin realm on it. And this one was from about 500 years ago before the goblin realm existed so this is the plan once the goblin realm is defeated annexed all its lands and return it to this pointing to the 500 year old map. How about their allies there is nothing I look at every record I could find in the goblin realm i sent spys to search everywhere and nothing was found I when as far as having spy go to the Degon Empire and looked at there records. And nothing was found about any ally or that the goblin realm evens work with another kingdoms. Work with the other kingdoms what do you mean ask king Waylon. Like non transgression pacts, trade agreement, travel agreements, peace treaties, or even dedeclaration of war there nothing at all. So what do that means king Acer ask. The better question was the goblin realm ever acknowledge as a kingdom, empire, or realm or did it just grow slowly and no one care about a group of stupid goblins until they realize it was more then a group or even a colony but an entire kingdom and then it was not worth yours time because it was in the no man's lands. Both king Acer and king Waylon just look at each other. King Waylon was the first to reply I was always taught that the goblin realm existed. How a but you king Acer ask king Waylon you elfs live alot longer them us demi-humans. The same but my father told me that the goblin realm just popped up one day out of the blue and they where acknowledge but no one care because it was in no man's land and the land they took was not part of any trade routes. So my suspicions were correct the goblin realm was never official acknowledge and that why there no records of any agreement and the goblins themselves learn that if they keep to themselves no one would bother them and as long as no one see them stealing or any witnesses escaped them or were left alive from their attacks no one would do anything. So you are saying that it our fault and we allowed them to exist because we just did not care asked king Acer getting defensive. If the shoe fits wear it. What that aspost to mean. King Waylon reply king Colt is saying that you are correct that when you look at all the evidence both our kingdom hell the entire world allowed these monsters to grow and did not do anything to stop or control them. And now we have a bigger problem. And not all of them are monsters I have some here and they are more civilized then some humans I have met. So what your plan king Colt the day after tomorrow I will launch the attack yous need to get your troops in place. We will they say Elven Zixuan why do not yous spend some time with your fathers. I have things I need to deal with. Colt left them in his study then when to the throne room he walk in and sat on the throne he ordered the undead to go and get the beastkin that wanted to see him. The undead brought a lizard type beastkin they walk in and kneeled down before Colt thank you for seeing us king Colt my name is Marlowe I am the chief of the Komodo beastkin. We would like to become your subjects and swear our loyalty to you king Colt. Why do you want to become my subjects. Because we heard how in the kingdom of freedom slavery is illegal and that everyone no matter what their race is they are all equal. All the other races act like we are lest then them and even with the beastkin realm there is racism if you are not a carnivores mammal or a carnivores dinosaur you are second rate or a slave. And the beastkin realm is too far away even if we would be thinking about it. Very well were are your village at about 2 hours to the north west it is just outside of the demi-human realm. After finishing up Colt when to Verdant Crossroads Colt got to the castle and found the emperor and lady Diamond playing chess and talking. After afew minutes later Diamond lost Diamond look up at Colt my king Diamond got up and Colt sat down in the seat Diamond was in. Emperor it is nice to meet you finally and the same to you king Colt. Do you play chess king Colt? Yes then lets play and talk Colt and the emperor talked about policies of the kingdoms, laws, believes, and the structure of the kingdoms subjects. After afew hours Colt won the match that is the first time in a very long time. Did you teach lady Diamond how to play yes I did and before you ask she did not let you win to save your pride she lost I taught her at anyone that can not take a lost is not worth playing with. One of the emperor advisors as about to say something but the emperor put his hand up and he sat back down you are correct king Colt I hate when people let me win I truly understand why someone that serves me would but not when it an envoy or even another king. You said you have not lost in awhile yes when I was younger in my early teens there was an old advisor that would not bow to me would question my every decision if he disagree he would not do what I order and he would never let me win a chess game. There was a tear in the emperor eye I miss that old bastard. He was one of your most trusted advisor Colt ask. No you was my only friend the only person I knew I could trust. He make me into the man I am today they continue to talk and then have dinner. After dinner the emperor said his good byes and told king Colt if he ever wanted to play another game of chess his castle is always open and the same to you if I am not available Diamond would be more that happy to try and beat him the emperor laughed that sounds like fun until we met again. After the emperor left Colt ask Diamond about the emperor visit. It seem like he just came to meet us and talk.Every well it is late I will stay here tonight would you like to keep me company though out the night my lady? It would be an honor my king.
