He stood several meters away with three goblin workers at his side, all of them positioned behind something that looked like… heavy artillery?
A large wooden-and-metal contraption mounted on wheels, its "mouth" still smoking from the last volley it had spat at me.
"What is happening…?" I muttered under my breath, staring at the absurd scene.
Narg, who had positioned himself behind me with his own [Mana Shield] shimmering around him, cleared his throat like he was bracing for impact—just not the physical kind.
"Chief…" he began carefully. "We didn't know you would appear here all of a sudden."
I turned toward him slowly. "What were you doing?"
He opened his mouth to explain, but before he could get a single word out, Bundi and the three goblin workers sprinted toward us and dropped to their knees so fast the ground shook.
"Chief… oh heavens, we didn't see you there," Bundi stammered, bowing so low his forehead nearly cracked against the dirt.
"We made a mistake."
