chapter 3: village site found

Three days later, Madara came back with news on a good place for a settlement. He knelt to Liara and said, "I have found a good place to settle down in. However..." He lowered his head before continuing, "It is over run by strange green creatures with pointy ears." He was ashamed that he couldn't fulfill his duties as perfect as he wished.

She thought for a second before she said, "Hmm, green creatures with pointy ears. It sort of sounds like a member of the goblin species...So is this planet not a cultivation world like what i've read about?"

At the mention of a new species the Samurai that was chosen as the squad leader came over and knelt. She saw the look up expectantly for an answer. She sat down on a rock and said, "I only know about them through books so, don't expect a lot of information to be completely accurate or useful."

She thought for a bit on how to say it, "Goblins usually live in tribes. There's typically a Goblin Chief, Shaman, maybe some Hobgoblins and normal goblins. They are one of the weakest, disgusting and stupid monsters out there." She closed her eyes and thought through what she knew of goblins through various media, "Let's see, they like to raid human villages, caravans and kidnap women for...breeding purposes. um, Shamans can use magic...I can't think of anything else."

Madara said, "This information is very useful, my goddess. I shall go to the village site and clear it out." He got up and was about to leave before she stopped him.

She said, "We, we will go to the site and clear it out. I may not be a veteran fighter like you guys but, I can help." She had done some research in the system during their wait. She discovered when the Samurai fought both she and the samurai would level up. Yeah, she only got a third of the experience points but, she did level up to level 3.

The Samurai said, "Master, it is unsafe and who knows if this backstabber lied about it." He gave a glare to Madara to show his displeasure of his proffession.

Madara looked at him with a cold glare, "This is why I hate samurai, a bunch of foolish swordsmen. I will never betray my goddess, muscle head."

She shook her head before she said, "Enough, you two bicker worse than my two of my sworn sisters. Madara, take us to a vantage point near the site. Both of you and the men are my people and I don't want any in fighting among us. I get enough of that in my own clan and I would like to avoid that nonsense."

Both men lowered their heads and said, "Understood, we apologize for our shameful behavior." Madara got ready to show them the way after the samurai put up camp and surrounded her protectively.

It took them a few days to get to the site. Madara had given her her bag before they traveled and she took out binocculars. She said, "Yup, that looks like a goblin camp. At least we know that we aren't the only humans here." She looked at a cage with 50 humans in it.

She looked around seeing a box canyon with what looked like two ways out. The way in which, looked like a forest path and the other seemed to be a small worn path towards the top of the waterfall on the western part. She said, "This is a good place...after we clear out the goblins; we'll make this place our home."
