Chapter 3: Gage the Goblin

The archer tower was now finished, and Ched looked in his gold storages. They were quite empty, but his elixir storage was almost full. He noticed that if he attacked a certain village that had a gold storage in the opening, his troops would go for something else like an army camp or a cannon.

Ched: I hope there is a troop that can just get all the loot I need!

Ched decided to upgrade both of his barracks all the way up to level three. He gemmed them so fast, that the gems were so expensive, so Ched almost ran out. So Ched asked a random village how to get more gems.

Villager: Well to get more gems, you can earn achievements, and you get them as rewards!

Ched: Oh yeah! Any other tactics?

Villager: Yes. The easiest way to get them is to remove any trees bushes, mushrooms, rocks, those kinds of stuff! You might find a couple of gems in there!

Ched: Thanks!

Ched noticed a tree was very close to the level two cannon. He removed it instantly but found nothing.

Ched: WHAT?! I thought there was a gem in there!

Ched saw a fallen tree next to the level one army camp. Ched looked at it in disgust and broke it open with his hands. He found a single gem in there!

Ched: Not what I was expecting but, okay!

Just then, Ched found one green goblin coming out of the barracks.

Ched: HEY! There is a goblin here!

The goblin looked at Ched and started to speak.

Goblin: Um, I'm not like those ordinary goblins you see! I'm one of those goblins that get loot for you!

Ched: LOOT?!

Goblin: That's right!

Ched: Alright! I hope you're right!

Goblin: I AM right! By the way, my name is Gage. What's yours?

Ched: My name is Ched.

Gage: That sounds strange.

Ched: Of course it sounds strange!

Gage: Who gave you that name?

Ched's Mind: I can't believe it! He's THAT interested in me?

Gage: Well?

Ched: My dad.

Gage: Okay, now I understand!

Ched: Good! Now can you please stop giving me those questions? Those are supposed to be private!

Gage: (Chuckles) Okay, Okay!

Barry trained up twenty barbarians and Abby trained up ten archers. Gage went back into the barracks to train ten goblins. Barry was inside the barracks when he can't just stop looking at Abby outside with six archers around the army camp.

Barry's Mind: WOW!

Barry didn't notice Ched tapping on his shoulder until a couple seconds later.

Ched: (Tapping on Barry's Shoulder) Um, Barry. Barry! BARRY!

Barry: (Flinched) Huh? What?

Ched: Are your troops done?

Barry: (Scratching his head) um, yeah.

Ched: And, why are you staring at the army camp?

Barry: Heh Heh, um because I just wanted to!

Ched: (Puzzled) hmm, okay then!

Ched found a village that had just the amount of gold and elixir he wanted. Except it was a town hall three with a level two cannon, a level one cannon, a level one mortar, and a level four archer tower. It also had smooth stone walls surrounding the village. Ched and his troops quickly gathered around a nearby boulder, just inches away from the outer southern wall, which had the level one cannon guarding an army camp and an elixir collector.

Ched: Okay! Here's the plan. George, unfortunately for you, no giant allies' will help you bit try to distract Gage as he grabs the gold! Then Barry, you destroy the defenses and Abby, you first take out the archers on the archer tower!

Barry, Abby, George, And Gage: Got it!

Ched: NOW LET'S GET SOME LOOT!

Everyone shouted and they rumbled towards the southern wall. The barbarians took the lead and then it was followed by George. Gage was riding on George's shoulder and was getting ready to jump into a pile of gold in the level three gold storage. Abby and the archers took distance and successfully took out the archers. Barry wanted to go just a little far out, but of course he had to obey Ched's commands. Due to all of the troop's hard effort, all defenses except the mortar were destroyed. The chief slammed his right fist on a table in front of him.

Chief: NOOO! This can't be!

The chief grabbed six heavy kegs which were filled with the heaviest stones in his forest clearing he could find. With the builder's help, he rolled the first one towards George. George stopped it with his hand and threw it at the mortar. The keg jammed the mortar and the mortar blew up pieces of metal shrapnel which collided into an elixir storage. Elixir rushed out with such force that Barry and the rest of the barbarians were sweeped away and into a nearby mushroom.

Barry: (Rubbing his head) Oooooohhh, my head!

Barry shook the pain and and ran towards the town hall. The chief shouted in a fury and quickly pushed another keg towards Barry. Barry jumped over it and shouted some more.

Chief: TAKE THIS!

The chief rolled two kegs towards Barry. Barry jumped over the first one but just as he landed, he knew it won't have enough time to jump with two feet over the next keg, so he used his left foot to jump over the keg.

Chief: NOO! What kind of Parcore barbarian is he?

Gage took lots and lots of gold along with the other goblins. He laughed so hard that he didn't realize that the gold storage was now empty. Gage jumped over the gold storage and climbed over it. He jumped high into the air and punched a hole into the last elixir storage. It was level four so Gage punched the connector in the middle. All of the goblins saw this and ran towards it, not caring if they slipped on elixir. Barry realizes that the chief was now out of kegs after the last keg was rolled out. Barry jumped onto the chief and punched him in the face.

Chief: OOF!

The chief rolled backwards and shouted.

Chief: YAAAARHH!

The chief did a hook punch but Barry ducked, grabbed the chief, and knee-cap hit him in the stomach. The chief staggered backwards but was knocked-out when Barry landed a big punch in the jaw. That must've hurt more for Barry though, because Barry quickly shook off the pain in his fist.

Barry: AH! That got to hurt!

Just then, as Barry walked out of the town hall, he heard a cracking sound. Barry gulped, looked above and a tree was falling down on him!

Barry: AHHHHH!

Barry found himself pinned to the ground by the tree and his back hurted so much, because the tree hit him there.

Barry: HEY! CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A LIFT?!

No one heard him because they were all leaving. Except Gage of course. He was checking every storage to make sure not gold or elixir is not taken. But surprisingly, Barry was surprised to see Abby there following George and Ched and all the rest of the troops. Abby was the back of the pack.

Barry: ABBY! CAN YOU COME HELP ME HERE?!

Abby looked back and she quickly swiped up her bow. She scanned the area but so Barry pinned down by a tree instead.

Abby: Whoa Barry, you got to be more careful!

Barry: (Sigh) I know. Just get me out please!

Abby quickly found some rope in the town hall. She tied it around the tree and the pulled the tree so that it could roll down Barry's back. It was really tiring work for her, and by the time she was done, she stumbled a bit.

Barry: (Getting up) Thanks!

Abby: (Pant) No problem! (Pant)

Barry: (Blushing) Um, Heh would you like me to help you?

Abby: (Pant) No thanks! (Pant) I'm good! (Pant)

Barry: Alright! Suit yourself!

But on the way back, Barry made sure to keep himself side by side with Abby. He was glad that Abby didn't notice what he was thinking for her.
