Following such news, there was no panic, only steely resolve. They had prepared themselves to face whatever enemy came their way, there was no running away.
Lance turned his gaze to Kaeli who had spent a while equipping the goblins with weapons and other gears. The enemy were numbered in the thousands from their scouts' estimations, apart from the old and the young, every one was a warrior in the coming battle.
The goblins now stood armed and armoured, gripping spears, axes, and blades.
Kaeli wiped sweat from her brow, her rough hands stained with soot. "Every goblin is armed, Lance. They won't be defenseless."
Lance gave a firm nod. "Then we fight." Kaeli returned the nod, gripping her war-hammer tighter.
