Smoke pours over the battlefield as weary Green Warriors stand propped on trellises and downing plant growth hormone shakes. Their vines bear the scars of a thousand goblin blades, but still the Garden Kingdom stands among the mighty oaks and rolling grass fields of their home. While the toll on their number has been steep, the nurseries thrive with young strong plants that will grow to be the next generation of warriors, nurtured in compost created by the fallen goblin dead.
The Garden Kingdom was celebrating its most recent victory and the period of relative peace that followed, and all were in good cheer, for the time being. As the Arbor King was giving a rousing speech of hope and prosperity for his Garden Kingdom subjects, a peapod ran in from the balcony, eyes full of fear.
"Sir! Goblins! Goblins in the sky! Goblins with harder than ebony wood and shining like the cold moon's eye! They're coming in hordes!"
Once again the Garden Kingdom motivates for war, but things have changed as the goblins bring new warriors to the forefront. Goblin engineers have been researching ways to protect themselves from the mighty force of the Green Warriors, and so they have discovered deep veins of cold metal and the hides of fallen animals and turned them to this purpose.
The newest goblin warriors carry shields and wear helmets that will protect them from your Green Warriors onslaught, bearing down like relentless tanks. Some will come on the wind with great wings of leather, soaring over your plants to drop in amidst the ranks and sow chaos, while others have developed powerful legs and will simply leap over the front lines of the Garden Kingdom's army.
