"I see, so that's how it happened. You know Wain, you're an amazing man. I've never t a loner who brings new people with him every ti, and in this case, it's thirty monsters." Smiling, Gisle said.
"Unfortunately, there is so truth in what you say..." Wain muttered in puzzlent. At that mont, he wondered why this was happening. After all, Wain hadn't even tried to make friends with anyone or find new allies.
"Opposites attract, don't they?" Said Teresa.
Wain wanted to answer sothing, but suddenly he saw a glint in the distance, as if from tal.
Whoooosh.
A mont later, an arrow flew at wind speed toward one of the fire goblins. There was no way the monster could have had ti to react to this sudden attack, but it was no problem for Wain.
He reacted quickly and grabbed the arrow with his hand. The iron tip stopped a centiter from the frightened goblin's face.
Wain frowned and looked in the direction the arrow ca from. He saw a guy in leather armor with a large bow in his hands. He looked at Wain in shock.
Wain didn't bother to look into the situation and threw the arrow back at his attacker with all his might. The arrow reached the guy at lightning speed and sank into his knee.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He imdiately scread in pain and grabbed his knee trying to stop the bleeding.
Unlike Wain, Zero, and the others, most people saw nothing good in fire goblins. Monsters were mortal enemies to them, and it was almost impossible to fix.
Wain decided to wound a man for attacking a monster without a second thought. It only made things worse. The people didn't understand what they were supposed to do in this situation.
On the one hand, their leader didn't mind contact with fire goblins, but on the other hand, these were monsters that killed millions of people every day.
"Calm down!" Gisle said loudly. His tone was harsh and direct, his voice like thunder from a clear sky.
"These monsters are called fire goblins, and frankly, I have a hard ti calling them monsters. I'd say they are a different race from humans. Fire goblins are harmless and pose no danger to you unless, of course, you attack them yourself." Gisle said calmly.
"But, they are monsters! How can we be with them and feel safe?" Shouted soone in the crowd.
"That's just your prejudice. As I said earlier, they are not monsters but creatures belonging to another race. What's more, they can even understand what we're saying, and each of them is an excellent smith. If you don't believe us, you can talk to them yourself. Unlike you, they are not afraid of creatures from other races."
Gisle sighed and continued, "If any of you are against my decision, you may leave. But, we all understand that outside the organization, you will be in great danger. In that case, the monsters will always be there for you, and unlike the fire goblins, they will want to kill you and devour you."
After Gisle's words, people cald down, and so even tried to talk to the fire goblins. They were surprised that the monsters actually understood them, and it had a positive effect on the whole situation.
Of course, a couple of people still didn't change their minds. They weren't going to recognize the monsters as their allies, no matter what Gisle said.
Wain understood this, so he decided to say a few words for himself. In his own way, of course.
He slipped his hand under his cloak and then pulled out a massive pistol.
Bang. Bang, Bang.
Wain fired several tis in the air, and everyone turned their attention to him.
"I want you to understand one simple thing. We don't need you, you need us. The fire goblins are blacksmiths, and they will forge equipnt with which you can beco stronger and survive in dangerous situations.
I assure you, you won't care if your sword is made by a monster or human as long as it cuts through your enemies like a red-hot knife through butter. Also, at the mont, we have a severe problem with blacksmiths, and fire goblins can solve it.
They're more important than most people listed in Last Light. Don't you dare neglect them, much less try to kill them, or I will personally co after you." Wain said nacingly and pulled the trigger of his gun.
Bang.
A gunshot sounded, and a massive bullet slamd into the second knee of the guy who had been attacking the fire goblins before.
Gisle used persuasion and logic, but Wain had no desire to explain anything to the stupid. He knew that if logic and facts couldn't change a man's mind, fear would do the job perfectly.
Gisle didn't react to the situation. He wanted to teach that guy a lesson himself because he had to stop treating fire goblins that way.
"Gisle! The bridge is finished!" Clovis said loudly, smiling contentedly. He didn't expect Wain to bring monsters with him, but he didn't stop building the bridge.
"Great, now we're ready to head north, but we can't get into action when we have fire goblins with us," Gisle muttered, looking at the monsters.
Gisle wanted to send the goblins to the main base, but he wasn't sure they would be all right there.
Gisle knew that when people saw the fire goblins, they would get scared and attack the monsters. There was no way he could let that happen. It would be a great mistake on his part.
Also, Gisle could not return to the main base himself and waste ti on it. If he did, the operation to attack the north part would be canceled, and he would have to start all over again.
Gisle needed soone he could rely on and trust completely. After thinking for a while, Gisle found the person he needed.
"Elsa!" Gisle said loudly, and a couple of seconds later, the forr vice leader of the Sea Punishers was standing beside him.
"I'm listening to you," Elsa said calmly.
Wain smiled. He understood why Gisle had called Elsa specifically.
'She can't go against his orders, and she's also quite strong and most likely has experience in running an organization and commanding people. She's the perfect candidate to be his deputy.' Wain thought.
When Elsa signed with Gisle, Wain thought she would be nothing more than a puppet in Gisle's hands. But it was possible to benefit from this situation.
'It is very convenient to work with soone when you know you can trust them and no matter what the reasons.' Thought Wain.
"Elsa, you should take the fire goblins to the base and give them all the facilities they need to get into the blacksmithing business. Also, solve the problems that will arise after they appear. In special cases you can, even kill a man. Goblins are more important." Pronounced Gisle.
"I understand," Elsa replied calmly.
"There will be a few more people going with you as well, and your powers are practically unlimited. But, you will have one more important task." Pronounced Gisle and a golden thread appeared between them the next mont, symbolizing their unbreakable contract.
"You must do whatever it takes to make Last Light flourish!" Gisle said loudly, and the golden thread shone brightly.
He decided to say this so that Elsa wouldn't have the physical ability to intentionally harm the organization.
