The Dark Knight shows himself.

A continuation of “Sudden Danger in Goblin City.”

Oics stared at the Dark Knight's menacing helmet. A grimace forged from blackened metal in the design of a vicious, snarling dragon. Hidden in the dragon’s threatening maw was the helmet’s visor and a pair of angry, red-gleaming eyes staring back at the goblin leader.

“Li… *cough* … Lickspittle,” Oics groaned, pleadingly looking at the younger goblin, “He-help … me.”

At least the younger goblin tried to look guilty when he dove deeper behind his cover.

“Plead as much as you like,” the Dark Knight said mockingly, “Only death and cowards are listening today.”

The Dark Knight’s grip closed around Oics’ neck.
