It's been a week since I have awoken. I have spent most of my time going through a large pile of junk the goblins have collected trying to find anything about the outside world. To see how it changed. Something that drew my attention was a large number of polished objects, they have a trigger like that of a crossbow and a hollow part but the Goblins have no arrows small enough to fit into the hole so they are completely useless. along with quite a bit of torn clothes and battered armour too big for most of the goblins. Along with the junk, I found a few books nothing special about the books something I would read in my downtime. But practically every book was on a monster or a particular monster. Nothing on a subject I wished to find a single book on history something to give me a clue how long I've been dead for, And the goblins are completely useless in that regard as they do not have any care for history.

I have been collecting things in the pile that I would potentially find useful. A larger cloak, A few of the different types of metal crossbows, a few pieces of a different type of fabric seemed to be weaved with metal or something else along those lines as it is very sturdy only problem is how hard it is and how small pieces are. but looking at how I've only gone through about an eighth of the pile of junk I should be able to get enough of this piece of fabric to potentially make something or at least learn what it's made of.

hmm, what's that. there is a soft beating sound as if someone was swinging a club around in the air. Glancing above me to where the sound was coming from, A large oddly shaped metal bird was lowering itself over the center building, its sides opened up revealing, humans in some weird black suit started jumping out of it. Quickly and methodically clearing out all the goblins in the area around them with the metal crossbows a single trigger pull and it would kill a goblin. As the metal Bird landed more people came charging out with thin sticks as they went around beating goblins with them and bringing them back into the metal bird along with one of the larger goblins that I met. Being dragged into the metal bird as the group of people started moving back into the metal bird as a bunch of barely clothed humans corpses were dragged out and thrown on the ground as the metal bird took off albeit a little slower than when it landed.

After the metal Bird was out of view I got up and made my way over to the human corpses or well the pile of goblins beating the corpses with their clubs. moving over to one of the corpses it wasn't a corpse per se as her eyes were jetting about with tear brimming in them as she watched the goblins clubs coming swinging down on her.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"She can't fight back, You don't have to beat her so." Watching as they completely ignored me and kept swinging their clubs. "Grabbing one of the Goblins I lifted him mid-swing and threw him back getting the attention of all the goblins as they stared over at me. "If you're going to kill her just do it, but if you continue on this way she might as well be dead she won't live much longer. She's defenceless what's the point."

The goblins turned and glanced at her body. After noticing it wasn't moving they started getting giddy as a bunch of goblins started to drag her body away along with a few other bodies that I didn't notice under the pile of goblins.

Just something wasn't right. This wasn't right if they are here to capture them why, leave people behind for the goblins what would the point of that, unless, the goblins need females of other race to breed, an all-male race something like the incubus, So they need to find people of other races. but they aren't raiding, and they way too hideous to be able to charm another race. So that's where the humans come in they drop off some people. They are farming these goblins for something. It's all under their control they could easily wipe these goblins out if they wanted to nor did they have to leave this woman here unable to fight back.

Portal. they mentioned a big portal, are they using the goblins as scouts or cannon fodder. A soldier that no one cares if they die but then where are they getting the people they are abandoning. Slaves, Maybe, could also be people from a slum. I guess I have some more questions.

Moving over to the center building. I could hear the cheerful voices of the larger goblins. Pushing open the door they were excited about not being the one taken.

"So they take one of you each time."

"You failure you were supposed to stop the humans."

"And how do you reckon I do that. They could have killed me in a matter of seconds. With how fast they were killing the goblins."

"Distract it for us to hide."

"Now why would I do that. It's not like you raised me from the dead. From my peaceful eternal slumber and doing a shotty job at it fragmenting my memories while you were at it so I can only remember a select few things or whatever just so happens to slip from my tongue. But maybe that's was your plan, to begin with.

But whatever, I said I would help and So I will. I can help you kill them and I won't even have to lift a finger only the smaller ones will have to do anything and you will rid yourself of them."

They spent a little looking at each other before happily shaking their heads.

Simpletons.
