The next morning was beautiful and most Goblins weren't in their beds, as the elves woke up. They were confused and started to walk out of the caves they slept in.
Some elves were already out in the open, but stood in the way of the others, who wanted to leave the cave.
"Excuse me, could I go through? I want some fresh air.", a red haired female Elf asked. The other Elf in the way was surprised and nodded, as he went a bit to the side.
The red haired female Elf walked a bit out and suddenly halted, while looking up. She, too was suddenly in the way of another Elf that wanted to go outside.
But what shocked her just like the other elves, were that suddenly five huge trees were standing inside the Moonwalker territory. They stood a bit apart, between the caves the Goblins lived in.
"There weren't any trees yesterday, right? How did five suddenly appear?", the red haired female thought, being completely shocked.
Vilcet, who heard the commotion outside, went out as fast as possible. After a moment of shock he went back into Roschar's cave. Slamming against his bedroom door.
Inside were some moans and weak shrieking sounds heard.
Suddenly a bang, as if someone jumped from the bed and soft footsteps afterwards were heard.
"NOOOO, not again. Rosch it was finally my turn.", Suz whined. She truly was always the unluckiest of his females, when it came to having sex. She was interrupted the most, when it came to it.
Rosch opened the door and looked at a shocked Vilcet. He wasn't someone that would be so rude, as to interrupt someone that is in the middle of his fun, but now truly wasn't the time to wait he thought.
"How? Tell me how?", Vilcet asked completely baffled.
"Hahaha, just calm down. You mean the trees? I sent my entire army and some females into the woods to dig out five of the biggest trees they could find. And plant them inside the living area. They will bring much more over the weeks, but we can start building homes on them already. The ground isn't optimal for trees, that is why you should take care of them. You Elves know which earth is best and have magic and such things right? It should be your forth? So it should be possible right, please tell me it wasn't for naught?", Rosch said with a huge smile first, than realized it may have been dumb to bring trees up here without asking the Elves if it is even possible
.
Vilcet was shocked and the Elves never even thought of the possibility of relocating trees. They always found suitable trees and lived there.
" Thanks grandson, I don't know what to say. The sheer energy the Goblins had to put in must have been insane. We are truly grateful. And yes, we will know how to take care of them, don't worry. And another thing, can we go with them next time and pick our own trees? That would be even better.", Vilcet talked further with Rosch, while Rosch only smiled and nodded. Vilcet rubbed the head of Rosch, who got a bit annoyed, because his females and some Elves in the main hall could see him. But for Vilcet it became something he truly liked. He truly started to like his grandson, forgetting that he is a child of his daughters pain.
Behind Vilcet stood Gerhard. He seemed to want something, which was interrupted by a hand gesture from Rosch. Rosch wanted to put on some clothes first.
He closed the door and went back in.
"Sorry Suz, I will make up for it. I promise.", Rosch said dashing out again, as Suz puffed up her cheeks in protest.
"Chiefling, I counted everyone. This is our new force. The Elves are strengthening our troops by 150 soldier. 50 cavalry, 10 troop leaders and 90 soldiers. The females that came are numbered to be 250, as well as 380 children and 50 elderly. To that comes our Goblin females have given birth to 70 Goblin children. They are growing fantastic, since food and shelter is given, as well as their father and mothers are raising them with care. Till now our laborers were those that are to old for war or crippled, and warriors that didn't have work for now or rested after a mission. With those new people we may have enough for our plans in breeding stock, farming and other stuff, but still only our soldiers are here for construction and other heavy work. We need real laborers. The wall isn't even built much further since almost all warriors went to war against the Elves, only some frameworks were done. The north wall up the mountain is still open, too. ", Gerhard said with concerns.
" Shit, that means we still lost around a 100 Elven soldiers in the war against the Sunshine family. Make new agreements with the dwarf mixes. They should finish the wall and towers. It will be expensive, but for now we can pay them easily. We hunt enough pelts. Oh and bring him the demon ape horns. They should make some weapons out of them.", Rosch order, which got accepted from Gerhard. Right now that was the best solution.
" The Goblin warriors did their job good. To think, I didn't even need to tell them to accept the Elves. Seems the cheering and gratitude they got shown from the Elves was something no other race ever showed them, which seemed to be to their liking.", Rosch thought happily.
He went around seeing that Elves started to build stuff on the trees, while other followed the Goblins to pick more trees.
" It seemed, the trees that the Elves want to live on are fruit trees, which is genius. Shelter and food sources in one.", Rosch thought further.
He traveled further up into Human mix territory. He needed to talk with the family head of the human mixes, but before that he went to Gub.
Gub was shocked that the family head wanted something from him personally and as he was told what to do he instantly dashed forward.
Rosch afterwards went to the human territory without stopping somewhere else this time.
The guards in front of the cave of the human mixed family head weren't shocked this time. They knew about their partnership, sort off. They let Rosch in and walked with him to announce his arrival to their family head.
After entering and getting announced, Rosch instantly came to his request.
"I greet you, Norbert. We didn't see each other after our partnership was established. And I came to say hello and do some business if possible.", Roschar said calm and serious.
Norbert was 1,80 Meter and looked like most of the other human mixes. Almost like a human with green skin and hair.
"I greet you back and what do you want from us? While we have a partnership and you got some of my subordinates, I still didn't get anything from you.", Norbert said a bit annoyed. While they looked more human, they were still Goblins. Giving something without getting something else back was weird to them. They didn't know terms like investing.
" I know, that is why I came. I need more land and the problem is that we build the walls on west and east side already. Which would mean I can only expand upwards without destroying my walls. But as you can guess that is your territory. How about I buy 50 smaller caves with their land around it and build my wall a bit higher up, even a gate to make our passage between our territories easier?", Rosch suggested.
Norbert was surprised. He had more than enough land, which wouldn't hurt him if he gave Rosch some, but he was still a merchant. He wanted a good deal. The human mixes love weapons and trading. Some like Gerhard love fighting and weapons more and others like Norbert love to trade more.
"I don't mind, but what do you want to give me for that?", he asked with anticipation.
Rosch didn't say anything, only showed a necklace with rubies and emeralds on it. Everything else pure gold with a huge diamond at the middle. This necklace was from Vilcet. He heard what Rosch wanted to do and gave him that. He didn't want to look at this piece of junk anymore, since it was a present from the Sunshine family a long time ago.
Norbert looked at it with a bit of greed. He has never seen something so beautiful and shiny.
"This necklace is worth much more than some caves, that is why I hope your Goblins that live in them can stay, too and even than it would be worth more. The rest value is my present for our partnership.", Rosch told him calmly. Norbert didn't wait or tried to bargain, as he pocketed the necklace into his bag, while nodding.
" You truly are a good partner. I don't mind. Your territory can grow upwards a kilometer. No problem from our human family's side. I will tell it to all my subordinates." Norbert said happily. They talked for a bit as Rosch said his goodbye. He needed to do some more stuff.
" Wow, that was easy. Gerhard was right. He is completely lost when seeing expensive or really shiny stuff. ", Rosch though at how easy it was to buy some land from the human mixed territory. He walked back to his cave, as he saw Galia driving her wheelchair.
Rosch went up to her and picked her up, which shocked Galia, but those hands grabbing her, she couldn't forget as she kissed them without even asking who they belonged, too.
"You are the one I was looking for. Let's go.", Rosch said carrying her into Moonwalker territory.
Galia was surprised and looked at him confused.
"Where are we going?", She asked snuggling into his arms.
Rosch just smiled and whispered into her ears. "Fixing your legs".
