I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 166 Not Enough Food Again

"right."

Li Mosi nodded.

"Yes."

Zi'an had thought of that too.

"These people are not slaves; they cannot be supervised by overseers."

Even with this much supervision, there aren't enough people to keep an eye on.

The saintess twitched the corners of her mouth, but still didn't speak.

"But, my late master..."

Zi Yi scratched his head.

"Letting goblins manage them doesn't seem quite right?"

He couldn't think of many goblins to assign to him at the moment.

This kind of thing should be divided among the soldiers.

But the most loyal soldiers were either overseeing the work or had already become captains, and he couldn't think of any particularly suitable men.

Besides, I can't understand either language!

He was afraid something bad would happen.

A large number of newly recruited human slaves...

This is also a problem for Li Moss.

However, it's not like we have no ideas at all.

He glanced at the three people around him and said, "We can go ask the old man and the others first."

He needs more manpower.

But he was unwilling to force a group of slaves that were roughly the same size as a goblin tribe.

The four hundred slaves had already dug up the body and buried it.

They were resting by a sturdy wooden wall.

Amidst the cacophony of casual conversation, Li Mosi quickly found the old man.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Li Mosi and the other three approaching him, the old man took a few steps and knelt down in front of him.

Get up.

Li Mosi didn't know where this guy who dared to escape from the slave-catching team learned this habit from, so she reached out and helped him up.

"How many of you are willing to stay?"

"Chief! The water's steaming!"

"Can we start cooking now?"

The goblin's squeaking sounded from behind Li Mosi.

Several chef goblins ran up to Ziyi.

"All accounted for! There will be many people tonight, so set up all the pots and fill them to the brim!"

After a few squeaks, the goblin chef happily picked up the horse meat and ran to the pot.

Li Mosi glanced back, then turned back to continue speaking.

"Here, if you want to eat, you have to work. But I guarantee you'll have enough to eat, and if you do well, you'll get meat too. You know my rules."

"Huh? What's wrong, sir?"

The old man averted his gaze from Zi Yi and looked at Li Mosi with astonishment.

Snapped.

He knelt down again.

"My lord! I am willing to follow you!"

The shout immediately attracted the attention of the other new slaves.

But their attention was quickly diverted to other things.

"Hmph. Can you smell the aroma of meat?"

"It's coming from over there by the pot!"

"The aroma of meat!"

"Are you really going to give us meat?"

"Gurgle~"

The newly arrived slaves' eyes lit up at the smell of meat.

Their eyes, like those of goblins at night, truly glowed green!

But it's still sunset!

Ziyi and Zian were both stunned.

Li Moss pulled the old man up again: "I know you're willing to follow me. I'm asking about these newcomers."

Of the 461 slaves who joined today, the vast majority are boys and girls about the same height as the goblin, with only a few being half a head shorter. The number of adults among them can be counted on one hand.

Hearing the excited chatter of the slaves behind him over the aroma of meat, the old man asked cautiously.

"Sir, will we all have meat to eat tonight?"

Zi Yi, Zi An, and the Holy Maiden both looked at Li Mosi.

This is a rare opportunity.

Li Mosi clapped her hands.

"Of course."

Zi Yi understood what he meant and gave a reply.

"You all deserve credit for this victory."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mosi.

Li Mosi nodded.

He turned to the slaves and shouted, "Quiet! Quiet!"

"Quiet!"

"The adults told us to be quiet!"

"oh oh!"

His command spread among the slaves, who quickly quieted down.

The old man said softly, "They've all lost their parents, so they're probably willing to follow you adults."

The three of them exchanged glances again. Li Mosi looked at Zi Yi, then at the new slaves.

what?

Do I have to do this too?

My teacher hasn't told me what to say yet.

Zi Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the new slaves with some unease.

What did my late master say before...?

The silence, lasting for more than ten seconds, made the new slaves slow their breathing.

"Children!"

He finally spoke.

"Thanks to your brave fighting, we finally drove those shameless nobles to flee, they even abandoned their armor, weapons, and horses! Tonight, all of you will have plenty of meat to eat! This is the reward that brave warriors deserve!"

The new slaves stared blankly at Zi Yi.

They seemed surprised that the speaker was a goblin who could speak human language, and they also seemed to disbelieve that they could actually eat meat, and they were also surprised that they had become the "brave warrior" in other people's eyes.

In short, they stared wide-eyed at Zi Yi.

Zi Yi felt her breathing become rapid, and even her head felt a little dizzy.

But he spoke again, breaking the silence.

"You are not our enemies; those shameless nobles are. You are our comrades who fight alongside us and resist those shameless nobles. I do not want to force you to stay and serve me, nor do I want to say anything more."

"Now, those who are willing to follow me can stand behind me. You will work for me from now on, and I will give you food, shelter, and fire, ensuring that you will not starve or freeze to death in the winter."

Zi Yi paused for a moment, then, thinking of his late master's actions, he continued.

"Those who do not wish to follow me, stay where you are. I will give you plenty of food, and you can find your own shelter for the winter."

"good."

Li Mosi whispered a compliment to Zi Yi.

Zi Yi twitched her lips a little shyly.

"I am willing to follow you, Lord Goblin!"

A little boy rushed out of the crowd and ran behind Ziyi.

The old man raised an eyebrow when he saw him.

Wheat seedlings are really smart.

With the little boy leading the way, a group of slaves set off.

"I'm willing to follow Lord Goblin!"

"Me too!"

In just a dozen seconds, only six slaves who had joined the old man remained beside the solid wooden wall.

Somewhat embarrassed, they went to the old man's side.

"Oh."

The old man couldn't help but laugh.

Zi Yi turned to the new tribespeople: "From now on, you must call me Chief!"

"I Led the Goblin Culture to Victory" is sparking a reading frenzy, haven't you read it yet?

"Yes, Chief!"

"Yes, Lord Goblin!"

Having shared the experience of fighting and hunting, a major issue was easily resolved.

But we haven't been divided into teams yet!

Zi Yi realized what was happening and looked at Li Mosi again.

"Master, we still haven't divided into teams."

"That's easy to handle."

Li Mosi pointed to the old man and his group.

"The seven of you, the old man alone will lead 161 men, you two together, you two together, you two together, each pair will lead 100 men to work. I will assign the tasks to you, and each team will be protected by twenty goblin warriors."

"From now on, you will no longer be slaves, but members of your own people!"

The seven new members of the clan looked at each other.

"Yes, sir!"

"Chief! The meat is cooked!"

Upon hearing the goblin cook's shout, Zi Yi waved to the new tribespeople and yelled, "Eat! Eat whatever you want tonight! Make sure you eat your fill!"

"Thank you, Chief!"

……

"Meat! Waaaaah, I haven't seen meat in so long!"

"It smells so good."

"Dad, where are you? I miss you so much."

"Don't cry, don't cry, the meat is going to spill."

With the battle officially over, everyone finally relaxed.

Some of the newcomers focused on enjoying the horse meat, while others reminisced about their past, and some even cried.

Those who were more mature tried to offer comfort.

Li Moss was not surprised by this.

In the end, they were just a bunch of kids as tall as goblins.

He then looked at the older members of the new clan.

They were looking at the prisoners who had just been untied with sharp, piercing eyes.

Whether it was the leather uniforms of the slave hunters or the soldier's attire of Zwan, it rekindled their hatred.

With one side of his face turned blue, Soth shrank his neck and kept his head down, focusing only on eating.

Lacas muttered to himself as he ate.

"I don't think I'll be able to have a good time from now on."

"It's fine."

Lasso instinctively comforted them.

"We are slaves, and the masters will protect us."

In fact, they were almost beaten up by the new tribesmen when they made their debut.

If it weren't for Li Mosi and his group stopping the new tribesmen, and the fact that the slave-catching team had become slaves was satisfying enough, these prisoners would probably have been beaten to a pulp.

Ziwang remained calm and turned to look at the old man sitting with them at the dinner table.

"I heard you encountered many nobles today?"

He spotted Baron Talis's armor in the pile of spoils at a glance!

But he didn't see the giant shield.

Therefore, Zwan tried to inquire about his family's situation.

The old man shook his head.

"If you want to know anything, you should go find the leader."

leader?

Zwan, who was tied up until dinner was cooked before he appeared, found the title a bit strange.

However, he understood that the old man was referring to the three people beside the Holy Maiden.

He stood up, holding the bowl in both hands, and walked towards Li Mosi.

"Master, I've just been thinking. If this meat doesn't last until winter, it seems the food we brought from the slave-catching team's warehouse won't be enough to feed all of us until next spring."

After a long and arduous period of thought, Zi Yi finally figured it out.

Li Mosi looked at Zi'an.

"Hmm~ it seems so."

She clearly hasn't figured it out yet.

The saintess frowned: "They could have eaten until then? How did you calculate that?"

Li Mosi guessed what was going on as soon as she heard this, and turned to look at Hagi Saint.

"You're calculating it according to warrior standards. You're calculating it according to slave standards, aren't you?"

"Hmm~"

Hagi Saint looked up at the sky, and a tremor came from his throat.

Ziwan carefully stopped five steps in front of Li Moss.

"My lord, I am somewhat curious about the situation of your battle with the nobles."

People are probably more curious about the battle situation than the battle itself.

Li Mosi knew that Ziwang was loyal and righteous, and answered calmly.

"Baron Talis ran away with eighty soldiers."

Ziwang's expression brightened with joy.

"Thank you, sir!"

"You can leave now."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Zivan turned and left.

Li Mosi then looked at Zi Yi and Zi An.

"We don't have enough salt to preserve much meat, so it won't be of much help in getting through the winter. Dried meat might not last that long either, so we need to think of something."

"Um."

Zi Yi nodded.

"So many nobles died, it's a pity we can't search their warehouses."

Has a path dependency formed on looting the warehouse?

Li Mosi smiled and shook her head.

His "Leshanshui" map doesn't work very well when there are caves or houses blocking the view directly above.

With that thought in mind, he summoned the map.

"Oh, the beauty of mountains and water. I understand the mountains part, but what does it mean that you can only judge a river by its flow direction?"

The information provided regarding "water" is far too limited.

It is so small that it is extremely asymmetrical with the mountains.

Thinking this, he pointed the map at the river southeast of the tribe and zoomed in again and again.

He wanted to see if he could get more hints.

Just then, the map screen suddenly started to malfunction!

Holy crap?

The map is spinning!

The map of [Leshan Water] has been transformed into a cross-sectional view, with the movement of many underwater streams clearly marked by arrows!

The different strata of the riverbed can also be seen!

They can even spot the cavities and cracks inside the trees along the river!

Etc., etc.

Li Moss quickly tried to turn the map back into a flat, top-down view, then zoomed out and zoomed in on the tribe.

He targeted the wolf cubs inside the leader's cave.

As he thought of it, the scene shifted again.

He saw the cross-section of the cave and the wolf cubs inside.

Unfortunately, the area visible from the cave walls and underground is very limited.

Based on the drawing of the wolf cub, the depth is only about five meters.

But that was enough for him to investigate the situation inside the building!

"Master, this..."

When Li Mosi's smile suddenly froze, Zi Yi, Zi An, and the Holy Maiden were all startled.

However, the group soon noticed that his eyes were fixed on a certain spot in the air in front of him.

What have they discovered this time?

Li Mosi also came to her senses.

"Tomorrow, Ziyi, you lead your people and slaves to build the new city. I'll take Zian and this guy to check out the human territory."

"Who is this guy?"

The saintess was stunned for a moment, then realized that the three of them, master and disciples, were all looking at her.

"That's not my name!"
