He can do this without batting so much as an eye and on a whim. He's still very capable and able to protect Wiccam Fensboro from the Orcs as best as he can.

* SlaveRace: Humans are fully willing to kidnap and enslave goblins on occasion, though they don't generally go out of their way to do this. Orcs on the other hand, have honed their enslavement down to a science and even use Goblins as emergency food.

* ZergRush: They are much smaller and weaker than other races and thus tend to rely on speed and numbers to fight larger, more muscular opponents.
