Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 250 What You Are

Orun's profile before the Elves will surely go down, and they will start to look down on him as well.

Orun whose dream is to build an empire full of monsters, will be demonstrated as a leader who is too cowardly to take risks, and the empire that he is struggling to build, will never be taken seriously before them.

A race that considers strength as the supreme rule, having a monster who is a coward as their leader will be nothing more than an amusing joke before the elves.

"Monryck has a point. Not going will only give whoever sent this enough reasons to look down on us monsters".

Without a need to think twice about it, Orun agreed with the way Monryck was thinking, and was even surprised that Monryck could have thought that far ahead.

"Theron, what is your take on this".

Orun looked to Theron after listening to Monryck's opinion. His face seemed reluctant like he was scared to speak.

What got to him is the shock of being seated along with monsters like Wildria who he felt an overwhelming aura from, and Monryck who had effortlessly defeated his comrades.

"i will go with whatever my lord decides to do".

Theron spoke out with his voice sounding tense and a little off the chart for the distance between them all.

Orun looked at Theron for a while before taking his eyes off of him. He should have expected something like that from him.

After his evolution, he has been too obsessively loyal to Orun that it is starting to creep even him out.

"since all three of you have spoken and came to the same conclusion, I have decided that I will go as you all wanted. But, not now".

The invitation letter that was sent over by the Elven queen does not contain an expiry date on it, meaning it is available till when Orun decides to make use of it, that is how he translated it to.

Orun also feels the need to go and see what the Elven queen has to say. How she knows about him, and the reason for being invited by her.

He more than anyone is very curious to know all that. But as curious as he is, Orun has to be careful with how he threads his path that has so far have been full of thorns all over.

Even if he ends up being branded as a coward, he has to put some precautions in place that would allow him be more open minded to anything and not flinch in the face of a surprise attack.

Orun is going to take his time preparing for any counterattacks before setting off on his journey to the Elven nation.

"if you have decided to go, then you have to take along guards of your own".

Orun turned his head to look at Wildria to know if he heard her clearly.

"guards? Me?"

He is in no way trying to mock or look down on Wildria's advice about him going with guards, but it just sounded odd to Orun.

In the monster camp and amongst the monster specie that he has managed to recruit so far, Orun still stands at the apex and the strongest out of them all.

Where he is going to, if he were to go with guards like Wildria had suggested, he questioned of what help they will be to him there that he cannot do by himself?

If the threat that he will end up facing concerning where he is about to head to is something that is beyond even Orun's caliber, of what help would the guards who he is stronger than by a far margin be able to render or do against such a threat that not even Orun has power over?

His thought is not intended to look down on the monster specie he has recruited, rather it is so they would not be in danger.

If Orun is going to face trouble where he is going to, he would rather he faces it alone instead of going along with baggage that would only slow him down and prevent him from going full force when he needs to.

His duel with Caius where he unleashed an explosion that changed the landscape of the forest and turned it into a barren land has taught Orun a Lesson about having his comrades around when he is fighting.

His attacks are not only deadly to his opponents, but also to his comrades who will not be able to withstand him going full force.

"i know what you are thinking about, and no, that is not why I told you to take guards along".

Wildria did not need to think twice to realize that Orun was against taking guards with him because he felt they would be of no help to him along the way.

"i am talking about them acting as your entourage".

"what do I need something like that for? I am a monster well capable of protecting myself. Not a human who feels the need to hide behind others before being proven as a member of the strong".

"that is not what this is about Orun".

Wildria had her finger on her forehead to rub it with.

"you are a monster who is on the path to create a monster empire, do you know what that makes you".

Orun looked at Wildria in her eyes, trying to discern what answer she expected from him.

"you are a monster who is on his way to becoming a monster emperor, a monarch who rules over a vast monster specie".

"as one who is set to become an emperor in the future, this is your first delegation to another racial kingdom. You have to be dignified as one who would be representing the monster kind at large".

Wildria asked Orun to take the guards along not so they can protect him, but to elevate his status as a soon to be emperor of monsters who seeks to build an empire for all monster kind to live in harmony.

Orun does not see himself as an emperor like Wildria does. He only sees himself as a monster who is trying to level the playing field for the monster kind by building them a place where they will have nothing to fear from those outside of their race, a place that would give them a spot as one of the strongest in the world.

Him being an emperor or not is a decision that will be made after his goal is accomplished.

He has no right to force himself on the monster kind and name himself their monarch, that is their decision to make, not his.

What Orun's perspective of an emperor is, is someone chosen by the masses to represent the masses, not a being who chose himself to act on their behalf.

No, a king is the manifestation of the thoughts of his subject and not of himself.

It is a position of a leader and the duties of a leader is not to themselves but to the people.

A leader has to be selfless and also put those he is leading over as first before anything else.

Orun is not sure he is capable of doing that. He does believe all life to be precious, but he treasures his life first before the life of another. And that, that is not an example of what a perfect leader is.
