Chen Yu crouched on the battlement, gazing out at the distant fields not yet fully enveloped by the swamp, and at the dark, stony land that jutted up abruptly in the distance like a silent giant.
The Goblin Army's fortress stronghold—Split Stone Pass—was located within a long, narrow canyon in this stony land.
The straight-line distance to the goblin fortress was only a dozen or so kilometers. Their fortress was built practically on the doorstep of the goblin nest.
To these Green Skins, this was undoubtedly a blatant provocation. They would never tolerate it and wouldn't abandon their attacks just because of a single crushing defeat.
From Chen Yu's perspective, however, the swamp had been Slime territory since time immemorial. It was clearly the goblins who had built their fortress on his doorstep and were now stirring up trouble right outside his home.
A malicious neighbor like this had to be met with overwhelming force.
