“My Lord. There are some things you should know. As you have already realized, we have evacuated the two tribes to the west and brought them here as ordered, but both tribes had Orcs occupying them. The first tribe just had 1 Tier 4, but the second tribe had a Tier 5 Orc in its midst.
“It posed no problem as I managed to draw it away from the tribe and deal with the problem. This Mace was its weapon of choice. The Mace itself had a power that resembled something perilous I have encountered before. I believe if this mace manages to draw blood while being empowered by mana, it will cause that wound to bleed profusely. I have seen it happen before, and I t is not pretty sight My Lord. It will be something to monitor and be wary of as we continue to fight the Orcs.
“Of course, that isn’t the only problem. The fact a Tier 5 Orc was present is likely more of a bigger problem. They are aware of some type of other presence in the plains. Likely due to the squad that chased after Kris and Krel that hadn’t returned, and now that the Tier 5 Orc won’t return, their suspicions will be raised further, and the number of Orcs in the area could reach a number we aren’t ready for, especially since we aren’t even fully aware of their exact numbers.”
“I see…”
‘Hm, Rogu makes some good points, but that’s all the more reason why I will join them on the mission to evacuate everyone.’
[Are you sure you’re ready to fight Tier 5 Orcs? Rogu will be with you of course, but what if there is more than one Tier 5? What will you do?]
‘Then I will fight it, and I will kill it. If I’m willing to send Rogu off to do my bidding, then I need to be willing to fight right alongside him. I can’t order these Goblins to do things if I wouldn’t want to do those things myself. I don’t want to lead like that. I know that’s how Geedi and the others kind of want me to lead but they should know by now that, it will never be like that unless they forcefully tie me to a throne! Ahem…With that being said…I don’t plan on giving up my precious Goblin life so easily. Please bring up my status.’

‘Hm, I had 25 Evo Points before this all began, and the only things I’ve killed recently were those 15 Tier 4 Orcs. So, after some quick math…carry the one…cross my Is…dot my Ts…40! Each kill gave me around 40 Evo Points. Still a genius.’
[…]
‘Don’t judge me Velora! Anyway, it shouldn’t take that long for me to reach Tier 5 if we continue to run into squads of Tier 4 Orcs, and if that previous engagement was anything to go by…I am stronger than them even though we are in the same Tier. And though it was a little unfortunate that I sent Geedi and the others home, this is really not their battlefield, and this new information affirms that. They would probably turn to mush if a Tier 5 Orc even breathed too hard in their direction.
‘I’m sure they will use this as motivation to get stronger, I just hope Geedi doesn’t venture too far east in the forest. Close to the lake the beats are only Tier 1s and 2s, but that’s the direction we met our first Tier 4 in…that damn porcupine. Anyway, all I can do is trust she won’t do that and if she thinks about doing it, then Jaba and the others can talk her out of it.
‘I worry too much, let’s focus on the situation at hand. Kris and Krel will lead the others to the Outpost, I hope Rogu can describe the general direction they were headed in enough for them to follow, and once they are there, they will come back with a few of the other Tier 4s. While they are gone, Rogu, Loruk, Surgsha and I will move to the next tribe, evacuate it and return here to see if the Kris, Krel and the others have made it back yet, then send two of them off with the evacuated tribe….wait no, what if they aren’t back yet…then we won’t have the extra numbers to evacuate the tribe to the Outpost while moving to the other tribes. Hm…what to do…’
[Just evacuate all the remaining tribes together, and the move them all at once towards the Outpost.]
‘…Wouldn’t that be too big of a group traveling around?’
[Perhaps, but even though lower Tiered Goblins can’t run as fast as you or Rogu, that doesn’t mean they can’t run at all.]
‘Decent point…hm, alright we’ll go with that. Plus, it’s not like we can’t make decisions of the fly depending on how the situation changes. Let key the others in the plan.’
Rick then called over Loruk and Surgsha and once everyone was gathered, he explained the plans he came up with. Rogu then confirmed he remembered the way and could accurately describe it to Kris and Krel who also confirmed they’d be more than able to find the trail of the others without issue. They were also reminded by Rick to wait amongst the tree line and not to enter the soon to be empty tribe.
Once everything was finalized, they all walked down to the tribe and let Jala, and the other two tribe elders know what was about to happen. Rick felt about uprooting them like this constantly, but he knew it was best for them. A small period of stress, for a better tomorrow.
Or at least that’s what Rick believed and was hoping for. A better tomorrow for Gang Green.
Anyway, things moved quickly from there. The now one large tribe took a few moments to get their things in order before leaving with Kris and Krel to find the Outpost. They would remain there for some time until it was time to move to the Village, and then eventually only a small fighting force will remain at the Outpost.
