Goblin Slaves

The Goblins were quite small, the largest one was only as tall as their thighs. They had green skins, long noses, and pointed ears. 

When they looked closer, they could also see that they had pointed fingers, narrow eyes, and rough skins. 

But what struck the soldiers the most was their state of being: they were ossified from hunger, with countless scars everywhere on their skin, their green flesh further covered by fresh and dried blood. 

The creatures were currently being dragged by their cruel captors, blood stamping their steps, and marks of heavy abuse visible in their emaciated bodies. 

Some were hopeless and soulless creatures, while there were few who had bright eyes and fighting spirit. 

Whatever it was, how could the sight sit well with the soldiers? 

"They're goblin slaves bought from other territories." They overheard someone near them mention to his companion. "I heard they were bought for a very high price."
