CH185 Alex, the DrakeSlayer?

Alex couldn't discern much about the cloaked figure—only that they were humanoid in shape.
And since they spoke in the goblin tongue, which even newborn goblins instinctively understood, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the figure was a goblin themselves… even as his instincts told him otherwise.
Why would a goblin—a superior, evolved variant—go so far as to conceal their form when addressing weak newborn kin? It didn't add up.
After ensuring the indoctrinated ideals were deeply imprinted in the minds of the goblins, the cloaked figure carefully selected the most zealous among them. Those chosen were made leaders of various goblin cells—this goblin leader included—and, most likely, the chieftain of that hidden meadow village as well.
Each of these goblin cells had been packed into separate cages and discreetly transported to various parts of the Dankrot Forest.
