How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 130 : Prelude to War
Inside the palace in the Imperial South Mountain Range, the [Goblin Kings] gathered together waiting for the [Goblin Emperor's] arrival were all obviously extrely nervous.
The reason was simple—their Pri Minister, the wisest [Goblin King] among them, had told them: "The human leaders may have noticed us."
All the goblins who spent day and night with the [Goblin Emperor] knew that the [Goblin Emperor] was a perfectionist goblin who simply couldn't tolerate bad news.
Even if there was just the slightest flaw in previous plans, the normally reasonable [Goblin Emperor] would beco extrely irritable almost instantly.
A poor [Goblin King] had previously been killed by the [Goblin Emperor] with an axe during one of its rages because of this.
This wasn't even the worst of it—previously, when a [Goblin Prophet] was playing a human-invented ga called "chess" with the [Goblin Emperor] during leisure ti, because it accidentally lost one ga, the enraged [Goblin Emperor] directly grabbed the chessboard and smashed that [Goblin Prophet] to death...
If such a small matter could make it that angry, wouldn't it be dood if it learned about sothing this serious!
One [Goblin King] said with a bitter expression:
"Gugu. (Lord Pri Minister, couldn't we not tell His Majesty about this? You've seen what happens when it gets angry.)"
However, that massive goblin shook its head.
"Guji. (Paper cannot wrap fire forever. His Majesty will eventually learn of this matter one day.)"
Although it said this, it wasn't actually thinking this way.
It was very clear that it could only inform the [Goblin Emperor] of this matter at this ti.
The reason was simple.
If it ntioned this matter when it was alone with the [Goblin Emperor], then it would certainly be in danger.
Only when in front of all the [Goblin Kings] might the [Goblin Emperor's] wrath be relatively less terrifying.
Looking at the [Goblin Kings] who were almost all looking at it with pleading faces, it couldn't help but recall that blood-covered goblin from a week ago.
It seed to want to tell it sothing, but at that ti it was in a rage and without a word used its axe to smash it into a pulp.
Thinking about it now, it seed it had misunderstood it...
In the week after that day, discovering that still no high-tier goblins were being sent from various places, it felt increasingly that sothing was wrong.
So it sent so of its faster-moving goblin subordinates to check the situation in the mountain caves.
However, of the hundreds of goblins sent out, only one returned covered in wounds.
Then, from that goblin's mouth, it learned that every goblin cave they had seen no longer contained even a single goblin.
Moreover, humans would chase and kill them like madn upon seeing them.
From this information, it easily reached a conclusion—the human governnt had already detected them!
So, whether for the plan to turn all of Elasia into a goblin paradise or for itself, it now had to tell the [Goblin Emperor] this news!
Looking at the [Goblin Emperor] walking out from the rear palace, it couldn't help but regret its past rashness.
If it had discovered this earlier, perhaps it could have slightly utilized the goblins distributed throughout the empire, maybe even had them cooperate sowhat with the [Goblin Emperor's] Imperial Capital attack plan.
Just as it was regretting, the [Goblin Emperor] finally sitting on the throne finally spoke.
"Jiji! (What's wrong? Why do you all look so nervous? Has sothing happened?)"
That wisest [Goblin King] spoke up.
"Gugu! (Your Majesty, there is bad news I must tell you.)"
Hearing its Pri Minister's words, the [Goblin Emperor] fell silent for a mont.
It nodded and said nothing more.
Looking at the fearful gazes of the surrounding [Goblin Kings], it spoke:
"Jiga! (Your Majesty, the human leaders have probably already discovered our existence. And... now the goblins distributed in various places throughout Elasia have almost all been killed...)"
To avoid being interrupted by the [Goblin Emperor's] incompetent rage, it deliberately used the most concise way to say all these things in one breath.
However, contrary to its expectations, the [Goblin Emperor] did not show an angry expression.
Its face even clearly revealed wild joy.
"Ka! (You're saying... humans have already begun exterminating the goblins scattered in various places?)"
That [Goblin King] lowered its head and said:
"Jiji! (Your Majesty, that's correct.)"
After hearing its words, the [Goblin Emperor] said excitedly:
"Ka! (Excellent! The ti has co!)"
The ti has co? What ti has co?
The [Goblin Kings] below were extrely puzzled.
Looking at these confused subordinates below, the [Goblin Emperor] said spiritedly:
"Kaka! (Everyone attention! Listen carefully to my next commands!)"
"Guaji! (Everyone prepare for battle to leave the Imperial South Mountain Range within three days after the eting ends. We will begin the crucial step of our plan!)"
Its words made the [Goblin King] who served as its Pri Minister sowhat confused.
"Gua? (Your Majesty, this is...)"
The [Goblin Emperor] smiled smugly.
"Jijigua! (Those caves had only one most important role in my plan—to tell us when the ti had co!)"
Its words made all the [Goblin Kings] present show shocked expressions.
That [Goblin King] serving as Pri Minister was even more shocked to the extre.
It understood everything at once!
In the [Goblin Emperor's] plan, if there wasn't an excellent opportunity, it would absolutely never act!
Moreover, they had always been accumulating strength before being discovered by humans, and actually had the combat power to rival human armies long ago!
But the [Goblin Emperor] had always told them: "The opportunity will co at any ti."
Now it finally understood the [Goblin Emperor's] intention.
It wanted to accumulate power to the utmost extre, only then could it act afterward!
And when exactly was the ti when power was accumulated to the extre?
Now the [Goblin Emperor] had given it the answer.
It was when those nests distributed throughout the empire were exterminated by humans!
The goblin nests distributed in various places were like an alarm system. When humans began large-scale sweeps of these places, that was precisely the ti to strike!
Having figured this out, it imdiately broke out in a cold sweat.
It had originally thought its idea of using those goblins' final value to create so trouble for humans was cruel enough, but it hadn't expected the [Goblin Emperor's] plan to be even more cruel!
So... those scattered goblins were nothing more than tools for judging timing to the [Goblin Emperor]...
But thinking about it again, it felt the [Goblin Emperor] was actually more correct.
After all, ordinary goblins were too easy to obtain.
As long as there were human won, one woman producing dozens of goblins per week wasn't a problem.
After speaking, the [Goblin Emperor] stood up.
"Jiji! (Look carefully at what's in the warehouse behind my throne!)"
With that, it took out keys from under the throne and opened the door that had been tightly locked by it for so many years.
As it pushed open the gate, all the Goblin Kings saw a scene they would never forget.
Behind the gate—it was completely filled with various siege weapons!
Ladders, siege engines, and shield cars...
The Goblin Emperor began laughing maniacally.
"Jiji! (Let tell you! This is the secret I've kept for many years!)"
Those were left behind by the original bandits.
When it first discovered this siege weapon warehouse, the [Goblin Emperor] had ordered this place to be made off-limits to all goblins, even [Goblin Kings] couldn't approach within half a step.
And now all the kings finally understood the [Goblin Emperor's] intention...
Originally in those bandits' conception, these siege weapons were rely weapons to threaten the royal family, and wouldn't actually be used to attack cities.
But now it was different...
