As they drew closer, Colin saw several figures standing in front of the stockade wall.
They were six fully armed Hobgoblins.
The passage wasn't very wide, and the six Hobgoblins stood shoulder to shoulder, their line stretching nearly the length of the wall. There wasn't much room for them to maneuver.
The one standing in the center wore a Plate Armor Chest Guard, while the rest of his body was covered in pieces of Chain Armor. His right hand rested on the hilt of the Hand Half Sword at his waist.
The Hobgoblins surrounding him wore ordinary Chain Armor and wielded Armed Swords and Shields.
Colin glanced up above the stockade wall.
A number of goblins stood up there, crowding the edge to watch the spectacle. They clutched Short Bows in their hands.
Though they still looked like a ragtag bunch, they were a clear improvement over the wild goblins of the wilderness. It appeared the Hobgoblins had given their "cousins" some basic training.
