Chapter 119 New Population
"The land has actually been restored!"
"Now we don't have to worry about going hungry!"
"The new elder is amazing!"
"The leader is impressive too!"
More than fifty goblins squawked and cried out, while Big Eyes waved his hand to the side.
"That's nothing compared to our new weapons. You haven't seen them yet. Whether it's the stones thrown from the pole or the spears launched from the javelin thrower, they can all be used to hunt wild boars!"
"Wow! These weapons are so powerful!"
"I'm not afraid of humans anymore!"
The goblins squealed excitedly again, their screams causing Zi'an to cover his ears.
She looked troubled and couldn't help but look at Li Mosi and say, "They're so noisy."
"really."
The saintess also looked distressed, but her hands were restricted, so she couldn't cover her ears. She could only grit her teeth and speak to distract herself.
"A beast is a beast; it gets excited and shouts at the slightest thing it doesn't know."
Li Moss shook her head: "It's as if ordinary people aren't like that."
Zi Yi initially grinned foolishly, but upon hearing the conversation around him, he awkwardly tightened his lips.
"They just came back, which is normal."
That's what everyone really thinks.
The results over the past two days have been quite good.
The goblin warrior squad that was dispatched has found four groups of lost goblins!
There are more than eighty in total!
Although the factors involved are very complex.
Thanks to Li Mosi's hand-drawn map based on "Leshan Shui", the slave-catching team's disruption of various regions, and the goblin warriors' tireless efforts in searching day and night.
But in any case, this is much better than Li Mosi had expected.
Even with the [Leshanshui] map, he never imagined that there would be so many lost goblins in an area that could be traversed in just two days!
This made him a little curious.
How large was Zi Yi's clan before?
How many of the goblins hunted by those slave-hunting teams were Ziyi's people?
Looking at it now, it seems that most of them are probably from other ethnic groups?
He didn't understand either.
However, there are far more goblins than stray dogs on the roadside, so there's no need to understand them.
Besides the eighty-odd goblins, their harvest also included the news they brought back.
Many of them match.
For example, each slave-catching squad typically had about twenty people, with the ratio of regular workers to slaves roughly one to two, plus an additional soldier under Baron Talis.
Or perhaps the slave-hunting squads didn't carry ranged weapons like bows and arrows or crossbows, and relied entirely on melee combat.
This information can be corroborated by the different batches of goblins brought back.
In addition, there are some isolated cases.
For example, the message brought back by the smallest batch of goblins.
There were only a dozen or so of them.
According to the dozen or so goblins, they encountered a large caravan led by a knight.
Like the previous Big Eyes, they endured a long and brutal chase, eventually having to split into two groups to escape.
They survived, but we don't know how the other team fared.
Wow~
Greedy Meat stretched lazily, then glanced at his clansmen who had returned under the starlight of the previous night in the dim light of the sky.
It turned to Zi Yi and asked, "Chief, what are the plans for today?"
Zi Yi began to ponder.
Over the past two days, the goblins who remained in the tribe have watched the captives do quite a few things.
The wall made of pine branches has been built. Our teacher also led them to dig a ditch around the perimeter and cut down many trees in the surrounding area.
It is said that these pits and felled trees can stop the fire from spreading.
Zi Yi couldn't understand it, but his master's words were definitely not wrong.
In short, the battlefield has been set up.
Now we're just waiting for the enemy to attack.
What he needs to do now is to arrange things for these goblins that have just returned.
We can't just let these guys eat for free, can we?
But what can they do...?
Zi Yi thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with any results.
He looked up at Li Mosi: "Master, what's the schedule for today? I can't think of anything else to do."
We can't just call these goblins warriors, can we?
That certainly won't work.
Li Mosi also thought about it for a moment.
The battle preparations are complete, and the goblins can continue training, but no amount of training will make them stronger.
Whether it's a spear thrower or a boomerang, it's easy to get started, but mastering it is extremely difficult!
For team operations, it's not worth investing more.
He glanced at the newly returned goblins; these guys had suffered even more turmoil and had almost nothing of value left except for the leather clothes they were wearing.
At most, they would carry small knives made of bone or stone.
They didn't even have the most basic stone spears.
He said to Zi Yi, "First, deliver on your promised reward, and then ask the newly returned goblins if they have any skills they're good at."
With the outside world being so dangerous, those who survived should at least have some kind of skill.
"That's right."
Zi Yi, who had just woken up, became more alert.
Although these recovered individuals were found in four separate batches, the timing was very close together.
Two groups returned yesterday afternoon, and two groups returned late last night.
He didn't even have time to deal with these things.
After thinking it through, he addressed the group of soldiers, including the one who was greedy for meat: "Those who need to relieve themselves, relieve yourselves; those who need to drink water, drink water. Gather around later, and I'll distribute your rewards!"
"Oh right, there's a reward too."
Greedy for meat scratched his butt and looked at the one-eyed old man.
"What was the reward again?"
"Idiot! It's an iron spear!"
"What reward?"
"The leader is going to give out rewards!"
"Wow!!! The fishing rod is mine!"
"I'm a warrior now!"
Zi Yi's words were like a wildfire igniting in the forest, spreading rapidly among the goblins.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, even dispelling the morning chill.
The goblins didn't even bother to relieve themselves or drink water; they just gathered together.
Zi Yi also began to bestow rewards.
……
"Thank you, Chief! I'm a warrior now!"
After thanking him, the clever young man stared wide-eyed at the float in his hand.
It thought it had been rejected by the leader, but it never expected to become a warrior!
"Keep working hard, you're actually pretty good."
Zi Yi nodded and looked at the next goblin.
However, there was no next one.
After all the goblins had received their rewards, only the goblins who hadn't had a chance to attack in the past two days looked at him with eager eyes.
Zi Yi turned to look at the goblin who had just returned.
"Are there any things you're good at?"
Wow! Wow!
This was the first time Li Mosi had heard such a long squeaking sound, and it gave him a headache.
A group of goblins stepped forward, and Zi Yi, somewhat disappointed, told them to go back.
Another group of goblins stepped forward, and Ziyi also sent them back.
This happened several times before it finally ended.
Only when the last few goblins hesitantly stepped forward did Zi Yi show a satisfied expression.
He looked up at Li Mosi.
"Master, these fellows are skilled at making tools from stones!"
The others are either skilled in combat, or adept at hunting or setting traps.
He doesn't need any of that right now!
Oh? Goblin Craftsman?
"fine."
Li Mosi glanced at the four goblins.
"Tell them to take the other returning goblins and make some javelins. At least give them a basic weapon."
Zi nodded, turned around, and gave the order in a squeak.
The four goblin craftsmen suddenly became anxious, gesturing and squeaking, occasionally glancing at Li Mosi.
There was another round of squeaking, and Zi Yi looked at Li Mosi again.
"Master, they say we have no more stones. The stones in the tribe can only be thrown away, not used to make tools."
Li Mosi pressed further, "Ask where to find suitable stones."
After another series of squeaking sounds, Zi Yi translated for him.
"It's located at the foot of the mountain to the east of the tribe."
