Chapter 42: Goblin Slaves

With five hundred more human slaves, Su Lun's manpower is finally not so tight, all five hundred slaves were sent to farm, this time Su Lun no longer plans to plant only five hundred acres of farmland, but to plant as much farmland as possible, and it is naturally a good thing to have more food.

With the return of the caravan, the camp became more lively, and the twenty wagons brought back a lot of supplies, after all, the furs of the Northland Wilderness were still very popular.

The return of the caravan made Suren temporarily put aside the search for suitable materials for making bows and arrows, and focused on the development of the territory again, and the increase in a large number of people made the territory more prosperous.

Ten days after the last time Owen's caravan left, they passed through Suren's territory again, only because of the problem of the barbarians fleeing last time, Owen directly approached Suren to ask for compensation. It's just that Suren didn't admit that he let the barbarians escape, and claimed that the barbarians who fled were not with him.

In order to prove his innocence, Suren also asked Owen to personally go to his barbarian guard to inspect it, of course, his inspection naturally did not yield anything, and in the end Owen could only leave unusually aggrieved.

Suren noticed that there were many more longbows in Owen's caravan, and those longbows were one meter eight in length, and the bows were purple, which were the centaur longbows, and there were at least fifty of them. It seems that Owen's harvest this time is still very good.

These centaur longbows can be sold for at least 3,000 gold coins in the human realm, and they have no price, as long as they appear as soon as they appear, they will be bought as soon as they appear. A regiment of archers made up of centaur longbows, an absolute nightmare for all attackers.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the money to buy it, and with unusually strong perseverance to suppress the desire to rob, Suren arranged for someone to send Owen's caravan away.

As the days go by, the territory is constantly changing, and the emergence of a pioneering territory will naturally squeeze out the living space of the wasteland races that originally lived here, and it is also a threat to the wasteland races around the territory. After defeating the medium-sized Gnoll tribe, the territory was briefly peaceful, but not for long.

The strong intervention of humans is like a young crocodile coming in a small fish pond, although he is still very young, but once the crocodile grows up, the whole fish pond will be eaten by him.

In the face of human pressure, after more than a month of chaos, the surrounding wilderness races finally reached an agreement to form a powerful army to drive humans out of the wilderness.

The two remaining gnoll tribes around it, as well as an even larger number of goblin and kobold tribes, are preparing to form a powerful coalition. The rules of survival in the wilderness are always the law of the jungle, and it is rare for several tribes to unite together, and only when there is a crisis that makes them feel that they are together, these tribes will choose to unite.

After the last battle, Suren restored the beacons in his territory, added a few more, and kept a close eye on movements around his territory.

Flor was a goblin, or more precisely, the lord of a small goblin tribe, whose entire tribe was captured as slaves when Suren led the barbarians to clear the wasteland.

Incredibly, the leader of the goblin tribe, Flor, actually learned the human language, and although it spoke a stumbling human language with a very strange tone, it did succeed in learning the human language.

After learning the human language, Flor offered to act as an interpreter and surrendered to Suren. He thought that there was nothing wrong with being Suren's slave, at least Suren would give them food so that they would not go hungry.

The goblins of the wasteland often become slaves of various powerful tribes, such as trolls, gnolls, lizardmen, etc., who are enslaved by these wasteland races, and the goblins are used as cannon fodder or to store food. In contrast, the slaves here in humanity are simply paradise.

Although they will still be whipped, at least they will not be killed at will, and there will be food for hard work, although the food given is pitiful, but it is better than starving.

Although Su Lun has been in this world for ten years, he still retains many of the values of his previous life, and of course he does not try to challenge the traditions of this world. Opposing slavery, aristocratic exploitation, religious oppression, etc., as an adult and a person with vested interests, he would not risk the condemnation of the world to do anything to liberate slaves.

However, he would not have brutally oppressed slaves like the people of this era. For example, for goblin kobold slaves, as long as they don't resist, Suren won't let people kill them casually, and the slave work will give them food. Of course, that's all.

But it was this minimum requirement that the goblin lord Flor actually felt that it was a gift, and the goblin leader told the other goblins about the benefits of being a slave of Suren and preached Suren's kindness. What surprised him even more was that this goblin named Flor was actually recognized by the system.

Goblin Servant: Flor, goblin leader. Host: Suren, Loyalty: 100. The vast majority of goblin lords were stupid, but there were always one or two exceptions. As a clever man among goblins, he learned the human language through his own efforts, and in order to be fed and clothed, he chose to be loyal to humans. Relying on his identity, he can easily gain the trust of the goblins. Skill: +2 for Perception of Words and Feelings, +20 Goblin Opinion]

With this goblin slave, the goblin slave became more docile, and Suren put all the previous goblin overseers under his command, and then the goblin work efficiency actually increased again. And those goblin overseers have become soldiers recognized by the system...

Goblin Overseer: The powerful of the goblins, in order to live a better life, these goblins choose to be loyal to the human lord. Strength: 4, Constitution: 3, Agility: 5, Spirit: 3, Charisma: 3, Skill: Whip, Observance. Although their combat power is not as good as the five scumbags, they still have their own role. 】

When Suren found out about this situation, in addition to having them direct the work of the goblin slaves, he also asked these goblins to go to the surrounding wilderness to collect news of these tribes. Because of their goblin status, they naturally gained the recognition of the wilderness race, and easily blended into these wasteland tribes to eavesdrop on Suren's news.

For these wilds with disorganized discipline, one more goblin slave and one less goblin slave won't pay attention at all.

With the information provided by these goblin slaves, Suren finally had a relatively accurate understanding of the other tribes near the territory.
