It is a relatively simple matter of bringing a legion or two up, and quickly setting to work on a fortified enclosure that would entirely encircle whatever mountain or range of hills that the Goblins have made their homes. With this done, the following efforts can be achieved:(1) From the walls of the fortified enclosure, there would be towers, manned by archers working in shifts, night and day, day and night. Nearby, there would be several sections of Peltasts on alert status, backed up by a contingent of cavalry. In addition, kennels of ferocious, armoured war-dogs can be brought up for the operations to come.(2) The commanding general of the siege forces could then order special assault rams and mantlets brought up, so that teams of hard men could begin digging from one end of the cavern-complex to another, while being heavily covered by archers, fire-throwers, and assault infantry, with war-dogs.(3) System by system, the assault crews would go to work, not only digging and burning the Goblins out at every step of the way, but the besieging forces could work on ramps, towers, enclosures, and gated fortifications to be built quickly along the way, steadily denying the Goblins more and more of their home territory.(4) The commanding General should then continue to dig out and slaughter every Goblin, with fire, axe, spear, or war-dog, and continue to claw them to death and crush them with the gauntlet of overwhelming human power and determination.(5) At the conclusion of operations, any such surviving Goblins should then be skinned alive, rolled in salt, and publicly crucified along the sides of the embankments of a brand new road that is paved and built along the forest leading through the remains of the shattered Goblin home. Each and every Goblin that isn't killed in the fighting, whether male or female, young or old, should be gathered thusly, and so killed as an example of the might and power of the human kingdom, and the fate that awaits all who resist.The next Goblin tribe will be sure to stay far away from the borders of this human kingdom. A few Goblins are sure to have escaped, and spread news of the total and savage disaster that befell the Goblin kingdom that sought to resist the glory and might of the human kingdom. And, if by some chance a cocky Goblin tribe moves into the area, the human kingdom can gear up and do it all over again. It doesn't matter in the long run how many humans die in the process. The absolute goal is that whenever the Goblins appear, they will be inexorably and ruthlessly exterminated. This will be done with such ferocity and zeal that there will never be any exception, or any doubt about any future outcomes of such operations. It is by such methods that peoples learn the price of resistance, and the benefit of kneeling in submission...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
