Red didn't respond to the hobgoblin, merely staring at the hobgoblin that was half a head taller than himself. He was more impressed with the hobgoblin's vocabulary as he heard a new word for the first time. He didn't know what it meant, but he could tell it was not neutral, let alone complimentary.
"I will beat the shit out of you and bring you to the Chief! We will see what the Chief says!"
The Level 15 Hobgoblin approached Red with a hateful grin. His eyes kept looking at the sword. That was his goal from the first place. He didn't care whether Red was a coward who ran from a battle.
Red was considering what he should do in the situation. From what the hobgoblin said, the Chief was still in charge. It was the same Chief, or else there was no need for the hob to bring him back to the village to meet the Chief. He knew that was just an excuse to take his sword, but that gave him a clue that the same Chief was still in charge of the village.
