Right now I am sitting inside GrumBals house no to be more exact  simple wooden hut, tho it looks more durable than the other ones in this village I guess when you are the leader you get more benefits this doesn't change no matter the race.

GrumBal invited us inside after his surrender to talk and to answer the questions I wanted to know...and when I say us I mean a bunch of spiders that don't want to leave my side this hut could break at any moment from all the weight, when I told them to go outside they just let out a sad sound and I gave up.

I was sitting at the end of the square table and on the other side was GrumBal we stared at each other for a while and he was the one who broke the silence.

"I thank you once again for allowing me to live and my people as well, blood has been spilled on both side and I am grateful that we do not have to fight" 

"Yes Indeed I also do not like needless killing for the sake of both our kin's we will put this behind us" I responded to GrumBal and it was not a lie when I said I didn't like needless killing, right now I need all the information I can get and this goblin must know some things.

"By the way I must ask what are you I have never seen a spider like you?" GrumBal asked as his eyes checked my whole  body.

Well I don't think it should hurt to tell him some things tho I won't be mentioning lady Ariade "I am a queen and a mother born to lead my kin in this world that is all you need to know" 

"I see" GrumBal only replied with simple words I guess he satisfied his curiosity.

"uhm well then GrumBal I will ask you some questions that I mentioned before if that is alright with you" 

"Of course ask as you please if I know the answer I will tell you" GrumBal nodded.

"First I would like you to tell me where are we right now that is my first question" 

GrumBal got up and started looking for something and after a few minutes he came back with a piece of paper in his hand he stretched out the paper on the table, I looked down it was a map and a very well drawn one how did a goblin get his hands on something like this, ahh I remember shields and swords from the cave I first emerged they scavenged it.

"we are here" GrumBal pointed at the map, I looked at where his finger pointed the name of the kingdom was Es... Estenfol the map is little bloody so hard to read some names.

Estenfol? Ahh I remember a small human kingdom, I looked at the map and noticed that it was a little different from the maps for example there weren't some kingdoms I knew like Astia the kingdom that betrayed their king and allies instead an unfamiliar name stood that stretched almost all over the human realm Triben Empire.

I looked at the map for a little longer and I noticed a black spot over the land that was once known as ShalDun kingdom my past life homeland.

"What is this?" I pointed at the black spot on the map, GrumBal looked at it and just shook his head "I don't know I only know where we live".

"I see its ok thank you for answering me" the second question was going to be about ShalDun but I guess even if he is an intelligent one his knowledge is limited I need to find someone else to answer my question.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"ok now I want you to tell me if there are human towns,villages or cities close to here" I wouldn't wanna walk into a town or village with a bunch of spiders behind me.

"no there are no settlements close to here this forest huge we live deep within but once outside the forest nasty humans hunt us so we don't go outside the forest much" GrumBal answered me and I felt no lies coming from him well that's good I guess.

"well thank you GrumBal that is all I wish to know" I wonder what I should do now maybe look for a place to start a city or lair whatever my kin called it, I stood up but was stopped when GrumBal spoke again.

"wait I should tell you something" I looked ar GrumBal and after a few seconds I sat down why not I welcome all the information I can get.

"This forest Is ruled by a filthy things called orcs they enslaved my tribe as well we always have to give more then half our food to them to satisfy their hunger" GrumBal had an ugly expression twisted by anger, but orcs huh never seen them before but heard they are quite vicious fighters.

"Ahh I got distracted by my anger, the thing I wanted to tell you was that they have more of your kin in chains they even ride on top of them they are strong that is how they crushed my tribe and enslaved us" 

So they have more of them enslaved "Is that so it seems I will need to pay them a visit" right now I was angry and very much so, I didn't even notice that my anger started to affect the little ones around me they all started to shake but it was not out of fear on the contrary they shook with anger as well "kiiiiiii!!" they let out a terrifying screech which made GrumBal jump up.

"that scared me" GrumBal said and looked at me again "you will fight them right?" he asked me with a serious expression.

"Yes that is my plan you against it ?" I answered back "no not at all but I have a favor to ask" GrumBal sat down again.

"I'm listening" 

"Those filthy orcs have taken almost all the females from my tribe I want to save them so I ask of you to let us join you against the orcs" GrumBal lowered his head as he spoke.

"I do not mind but what do we get from this?" I didn't really want anything but my old habits from dealing with the nobles in my past life emerged and just as I was about to speak again "we the Dead Rock tribe will pledge to serve you in exchange for your protection I am not stupid I know you are strong and very much so".

I looked at GrumBal he certainly doesn't look stupid but to pledge to serve me so easily, but then again he did say in exchange for protection.

"sigh" "very well GrumBal of the Dead Rock tribe I agree to those terms and I will assist you in saving your people from the orcs but I will warn you only once do not betray me" I sent GrumBal a cold glare and he only nodded.

It seems I am going orc hunting this should be fun.
