The Goblin prisoners' hearts sank to rock bottom.
Any fool could see that Gheros was serious.
And Babayak, who had always cared for his fellow kin and defended their basic interests, did not speak up in opposition this time either.
This was really bad!
At the thought that their fate might soon be the same as Haike's—that they would be trapped in the Labyrinth known as the "Endless Corridor" and suffer endless torment—
the Goblin prisoners felt their calves go weak!
"Gheros, y-you can't do this..."
"We're all Goblins. We're kin bound by blood!!"
"We only went against your wishes, and you want to wipe us out completely?!"
"How about this? Let us go, and we'll leave the Endless Great Forest from now on. We'll never have anything to do with you again!"
"From now on, you take your broad road, and we'll cross our narrow bridge!"
"You can grow stronger, evolve, and become powerful. Let us keep rotting in the mud pits and remain the lowest-ranking monsters in the Demon Domain, alright?"
This time, Gheros did not answer directly. Instead, he turned his head to glance at Babayak beside him.
The latter no longer wore his previous indecisive expression. His eyes had turned cold, even revealing faint traces of killing intent.
"I already said it. You know the secrets of the Endless Great Forest. You can only advance and retreat with us. You cannot leave."
"We won't tell anyone! We swear we won't reveal this place's secrets!" the Goblin prisoners vowed in a rush.
"We can swear it to the Holy Lord!"
"Sorry, no means no," Babayak said coldly.
"This concerns that lord's plan. There is no room for negotiation."
The Goblin prisoners still wanted to say something, but the moment they opened their mouths, Gheros cut them off.
