"I didn't expect a goblin settlement here of all the places," Sophia mumbled as the trio watched over the settlement from the foliage of trees.

Amelia nodded, noticing how advanced the goblins within the settlement were. It was a rare sight indeed, for goblins were typically known for their cunning and pack-hunting prowess, not for their architectural skills.

However, even with their pack mentality, it was rare to see them make large settlements above ground when they were usually nestled underground or in dark caves. 

Based on experience, Adrian knew that the only cases in which the goblins opted to create settlements were in three conditions.

First, because no natural predators remained in the surrounding area, the goblins had nothing to fear and nothing to hide from. Hence, they lived as they pleased.
