The Hobgoblin last statement had left a shadow in the hearts of those who defended the city gates that day as they really felt he was capable of that promise after the new merge Goblin army he led as
He showed the mages that thought highly of themselves that the real world was not a bed of roses, and that if they didn't fight for a long time or just practice at there own convinience at there own clan without any fighting experience
Then they would not be different from green horns and this was the main reason that most of the mages clan requested for the city lord to change the Gordons clan battle holiday from two month
To one month even the new clans that just entered the city all agreed with this stand and requested that the city lord reduce the Gordons clan leave so they could come back fast and perform a miracle as they were not ready to face the Goblins again the way the did last time
