Attack on the gnurx goblins

After burying the body, captain Marvis ordered some of his men to keep watch over the forest while he and vice-captain Veronica went into the cave to meet Ellis.

" Captain Marvis pay respect to young master Ellis," said captain Marvis with a bow.

Ellis turns to face the young captain before and gestures for him to get up before replying.

" Thank you for helping out captain Marvis, if not you guys coming on time maybe by now we would have perished while protecting the cave".

" Young master Ellis is too polite, am sorry for not arriving on time to assist you and reduced the death of your men," said vice-captain Veronica.

" Hmm, those men are only workers deploy by the clan to mine here, and they refused to send them protection but when the gnurx invaded the cave they were the ones who risk their lives to protect it" replied Ellis while feeling down.

" We are sorry about that young master Ellis," said captain Marvis.

" You have nothing to be sorry about" replied Ellis before adding, by the way Edward, now that reinforcement has arrived why don't we attack the nest of the gnurx goblins".

" I will have to inform commander Derrick about that, so you may excuse me I will be taking my leave" replied Edward before bowing and left the cave

" Wow, young master Ellis is commander Derrick truly here," asked vice-captain Veronica who seen to be overjoyed when he heard Edward mentioned commander Derrick's name.

" Yes he is" replied Ellis

" Since he is around then why didn't he help you deal with the gnurx" asked captain Marvis this time around.

" He could not because he is trying to catch the gnurx king off guard but now that you are here there will be no need for that again" replied Ellis.

" Well if you say so" replied captain Marvis.

Sometime later, Edward arrived at where commander Derrick was camping where he saw commander Derrick and his other subordinate watching him walk in like they were expecting him. After getting close to them, Edward begins to feel them in on what happened and the arrival of the reinforcement before telling him about young master Ellis's plan to raid the nest of the gnurx goblins.

" With the arrival of the reinforcement and our group plus the young master men, it surely is an easy task," said commander Derrick while massaging his chin.

" So the commander also agree with the plan," asked Edward

" What else can we do in order than to attack them and besides it should be in our favor cause the gnurx goblins have lost half of their men during the attack" replied the other man.

" Jack is right, now is the time to attack them, if we give them the chance to recover then this whole fighting will be for nut," said commander Derrick before walking out of the forest with his two men and dash to the cave.

On getting to the cave, commander Derrick went in and didn't go far before they were called by Ellis who seems to have noticed them.

" Your coming here could only mean sir Edward has already filled you in with our arrangement to attack the gnurx nest," asked Ellis.

Commander Derrick didn't answer Ellis's question quickly and instead begin to look around the small gathering, and he could see captain Marvis and vice-captain Veronica and Ellis's maids but not the young man that has been helping him.

" I heard young master Ellis has a helper, why is he not here" asked commander Derrick while ignoring Ellis's question.

" Oh, he left to get some rest while we were waiting for your response" replied Ellis being surprised by commander Derrick's question.

" So what did commander Derrick have to say about young master Ellis plan" asked captain Marvis.

" I agreed, and I think it's best if we attack them today" replied commander Derrick.

" So commander Derrick has finally decided to show himself huh," said Ray while walking into the room.

" Ray, I thought you said you were going to get some rest," asked Kate while looking at him.

Ignoring Kate, Ray turns to face commander Derrick and at the same time he was probing him and when he saw that the man before him was really powerful unlike Edward and the maids, he couldn't help but shiver in fear.

" Can we just forget about that and talk about the plan?" said commander Derrick while looking at Ellis.

Seeing that commander Derrick was asking him to help him out, Ellis sigh before telling ray to drop the matter, and they continue with the plan.

" Since we are attacking them this time around, the workers are to be left out and captain Marvis will have to provide my group with fifty men while you distribute the rest among yourselves," said Ellis.

" We three are enough" replied commander Derrick while pointing at Edward and jack.

" Since you want to go with just two of your men then it's okay," said captain Marvis.

" It's settled then, now let's move to the next phase. Commander Derrick, you and your men will have to face the gnurx king while captain Marvis and his men will face their army from the south, and we'll face the rest of the army from the north" replied Ellis while looking at the group.

" If we are attacking from both the north and south what about the other two sides," asked Ray who seems to be confused by Ellis's arrangements.

" That's because the other sides are surrounded by a mountain and only practitioner that are in the soul wandering realm can scale it easily which leave them no choice than to take either the south or the north side" replied commander Derrick.

They continue with their discussion and later when it was getting dark, they went to their separate. While captain Marvis and his men left for the south, commander Derrick and his men left with Ellis and his men towards the north, and among fifty men that were assigned to Ellis was vice-captain Veronica who was the task to protect Ellis.
