The elves won the battle and the king managed to restore his reputation, but Garandel wasn't happy with their victory.
The presence of the goblin monarch in the colony weighed heavily on his mind.
Just one goblin monarch almost took care of Elder Aegris and Elder Sunset. If there are more of them, I don't think my Greenwood Kingdom could handle it.
The Greenwood Kingdom had three 3-Ringed Beast Soul Masters and four Transcendent Knights.
Garandel was afraid that the goblin colony was hiding more goblin monarchs. If there were more than five of them, then it would be a disaster!
Just thinking about it made him unsettled.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Garandel and the elven warriors returned to their kingdom. There was no celebration for their victory and the atmosphere was gloomy.
Garandel summoned all the highest-ranking elves of the kingdom to his treehouse for another meeting.
