Chapter 33: The Bond
After Kabrindo was defeated, the battle between the Fishman and Goblin stopped.
At this moment, there are two groups of monsters gathered in the clearing in front of the shoal, on my left is the goblin group represented by the four goblin leaders, and on my right is the fish-man alliance represented by the five fish-man patriarchs.
Using consciousness communication, I once again explained the purpose of my visit to all the monsters, and although the number of monsters decreased somewhat after the battle, there were still nearly 2,000 monsters present, so it cost me a lot of magic power. But it's because of my powerful magic that I was able to keep so many monsters quiet the whole time.
"So are you going to join my village?" Speaking to the monsters with the condescending momentum of a king.,Although it's to ask for their opinions.,But there shouldn't be any monsters who will reject me, an absolutely strong person.,I always feel like I'm forced to be a prostitute.。
No, it's not coercion, it's good for them to join my village, not only can they get shelter, but they also have plenty of food, it's a win-win, there's no reason to refuse it.
"We goblins are willing to do your bidding."
The goblin leader named Areb was the first to show his loyalty to me, and then the goblins all fell to their knees.
"Lord Kilgaru, we fishmen would not have survived without you, and we are willing to pledge our allegiance to you."
Livada also expressed the thoughts of the fish people, judging from its confident voice, the injury should have almost recovered, after all, I used high-level healing magic such as the "Angel's Hand" on it, and its own physical fitness is also quite good, it is normal to recover in such a short time.
In this way, the number of people in the village increased dramatically.
What the? What do you say happened to Kabrindo? Ah, it's a great warrior, and it's a good fight if you let it join, but its character is too bad, and it's a time bomb for such an ambitious guy to stay around, so I let it lie there and fend for itself.
But thanks to it, it allowed me to experiment with my newly developed martial arts skills, which I created by improving Essles' "Shadow Kill", and gave it a very bluffing name, "Infinite Shadow Kill". That's right, I'm not hanging around all the time, and I'm serious about practicing my combat skills!
Originally, using Shadow Kill consumes a lot of stamina, so Ace Race can only use it once a day, but for skeleton soldiers who don't feel tired and have unlimited physical strength, there is no such limitation, so theoretically I can use Shadow Kill continuously. Of course, this is just a theory, shadow killing is a kind of advanced martial art that is quite difficult to learn, and it took me quite a bit of time to barely learn it after using the "accelerated learning" ability of the Extreme Magic Ring, and from the actual combat situation with Kabrindo, the infinite shadow kill is not infinitely connected, and when it is used for the hundredth shadow kill, the body's movements will stagnate, and you need to rest for a period of time before you can use the shadow kill again.
In addition, I also got a new item called "Mad Mask" in this battle with Cabrindo, so I don't feel sorry for not being able to get a good fighter like Cabrindo to join the village.
The "Mad Mask" is an extremely beautifully crafted silver mask, and the human face depicted on it is divided into left and right sides, the left is laughing and the right is crying. I don't think it's going to be able to block magic like Cabrindo said, but I think it's going to be somewhat resistant to magic, so I'll find out if I try it slowly when I go back.
Then the Goblin Legion matter is finally quite perfectly resolved.
I didn't know how to get back to the village from the ground, and I was too slow to walk from the ground, so I flew back to the village on my own after handing over the fishmen and goblins to the Gilta team who was on guard at the junction of the canyon and the streamlands.
When the fish-men and goblins arrived in the village, we were just in time for dinner, and the goblins who had been on the road all these days had never eaten any decent food at all, so their eyes straightened when they saw the barbecue in the village, and their saliva instantly flooded. The fish-people also let out an excited cry after seeing the huge lake in the middle of the canyon, because the valley where they lived before, space and food were very limited, in order to be able to live, they have been practicing family planning well, and have always controlled the population of each family to about 150 people, now with such a large lake, it seems that they can increase their number of people.
Of course, for the village itself, with the addition of fish people, it was finally possible to get food from the lake, so that the food source became more abundant. The population increased by more than half in an instant, making dinner extraordinarily lively, and everyone chatted with each other and introduced themselves, and soon became acquainted, but the fishman and goblin barely said a word to each other, and it seems that it was a little reluctant to let them shake hands and make peace just after the battle, and I hope that their relationship can be improved in the future.
After dinner, we had our second meeting since the establishment of the village.
In addition to the previous attendees, the Goblin Leader Representative Areb and the Fishmen's Patriarch Representative Livada were added, increasing the number of participants from 7 to 9.
There are more than 1,500 new Goblin Warriors on this time, while the Fishmen have more than 400 non-combatants and more than 200 combatants. Due to the tension between the goblins and the fishmen, so worried that there will be a mustard between them, I specially instructed Yaleb and Livada to prohibit any form of private fighting, and they agreed quite readily, although the two of them swore a promise, but there is no guarantee that every fishman and goblin will be obedient, and the future management must be quite troublesome, so at this time, I need to use a killer weapon.
"Zack, the monsters under your command have goblins themselves, so I'll leave the goblins and fishmen under your management, and you have to train them well."
"Lord Kilgaru, thank you so much, I will definitely do my best."
In this way, Sack took the hot potato with gratitude. I'm a genius!
Then I saw Zac give Aceles an ostentatious glance, and Aceles glanced to the side, looking a little jealous.
It is true that the number of goatmen troops in Acelace's hands is 3 times that of Sark's monster troops, and its strength is far superior to Sark's side, and now Sark has a monster army of nearly 2,000 people, and it instantly surpassed Ace Ress in strength, which inevitably makes it a little unpleasant.
Although they are both high-ranking cadres in the village, they usually have a good relationship, but it seems that the two are still engaged in a competition in private about who is the most powerful subordinate of Lord Kilgaru. However, there is competition to make progress, and this can also urge the two to continuously improve themselves, so as long as the competition between the two does not have any adverse effects on the village, then I will assume that I don't know.
However, in the future distribution, we must pay more attention to the balance between the two, which is the so-called art of leadership.
Considering that the number of people in the village will continue to increase, it will definitely not last long if we rely on hunting and fishing, so I also consider the production of food. Since neither I nor the monsters have any experience in farming, so the cultivation of crops can only be postponed for the time being, so the next priority of the village is to reclaim open space for the cultivation of fruit trees and the captivity of animals, in addition to the construction of fortifications. So now that Sark's men have increased, leave it to him.
In this way, the work was redistributed, the construction of the village and the reclamation of the open space were handed over to the new goblin group, the fish hunting from the lake was handed over to the fish-man family, and the goatmen were responsible for hunting and guarding the canyon.
"Then Aceres, please stay," I called out to Aceress as he was about to walk out of the room.
"Do you have any other commands, Lord Kilgaru?" Acereth sat down beside me again.
"The goats who left the canyon seem to have gone deep into the human town, and it is only a matter of time before they are surrounded by the armies of the human kingdom, I think you must be worried about them." Ever since Areb mentioned in the meeting that the Goblin Mountains were wiped out due to the Goat Men army's attack on human towns, Aceres's expression has always been clouded by a haze, and although he tried his best to show a calm appearance, he still couldn't hide it from my eyes in Kirgaru, who made me a good leader who was sympathetic to his subordinates.
"Lord Kirgaru, you ......" Finding that the anxiety in his heart was detected by me, Acereth showed a mixed expression of joy, surprise and trepidation, and said with a deep breath, "It is their own choice to leave the canyon and attack the humans, even if they die because of this, they are no wonder to others, please rest assured, Lord Kirgaru, I know that the most important thing now is to build the village, and I will do my job well and not be distracted by this matter." ”
Acereth bowed his head respectfully to me, such sincere words would not have doubted his determination, for me, who was once a human, I knew very well what the bond of my loved ones meant, and it took a lot of courage for Aceress to make this decision.
"Aceres, I am touched by the fact that you can say that, but can you really let go of your own compatriots?"
"From the moment I swore allegiance to you, Lord Kirgaru, I was fully conscious."
"I can see your loyalty, Aceles, but now is the time when the village needs manpower, and I'd welcome them if they're willing to join."
"Lord Kilgaru!"
"Do you have any comments?"
"No, thank you so much!" Acereth knelt down at me, and by the heaving of its back, it could tell it was crying.
"Don't rush to say thank you, if they don't want to join, I won't save them!"
"I understand, I'll do my best to convince Kerryth." Acereth looked up to wipe the tears from her eyes and nodded at me.
