Chapter 16: The Pig-headed Man

Li Ping'an: This is not a flattering piccolo.

Although the piccolo is not very tall, its skin is dark green, and although its body is a little wrinkled, it is not ugly.

After all, their clan was raised by many big people to serve as domestic servants.

If you are too ugly, you will not be chosen as a domestic servant.

But goblins are different.

The body is five points thin like a dwarf, the body is like half a height and three remains, the wide face is concave and the nose is amber, and the sharp ears and fangs are hanging down the knees. This is the true portrayal of goblins.

Hearing Li Ping'an say this, Piccolo didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he just pouted in the end.

Goblins kept popping up from the cavern, and finally after about a thousand goblins gathered in the clearing in front of the mountain, there were finally no new goblins popping up in the cave.

Li Ping'an had already learned about it from Piccolo. The goblin race lives underground all year round, and although their combat power is not high, they are superior in numbers.

A female goblin only takes two months to give birth to a baby goblin, and three or four in a year, and each baby can give birth to 5 to 8 baby goblins.

It only takes half a year for each baby goblin to grow to adulthood and have the ability to reproduce.

A female goblin can bring more than a dozen new lives to her family in a year if she keeps reproducing.

But this hurts a lot for female goblins, so they generally don't try so hard to have babies.

After all, food and resources are limited.

As long as their numbers exceed a certain limit, their internal competition will intensify.

Because their resources are limited, most of their food is supplied by the surface.

How could creatures on the surface tolerate a race that frantically suppressed their own living space!

Even if you don't talk about the surface, the underground is not something they can expand at will.

Not all underground spaces can be used as living spaces.

Some places have soft geology and are not suitable for building.

And there are other creatures in the underground besides them, such as goblins.

In this situation, where both surface and underground development space are limited, they naturally cannot reproduce indefinitely.

However, their group of goblins also maintains a population of 20,000 all year round.

For this conscription, the lord asked their group of goblins to send at least 6,000 troops.

This is perfectly acceptable to them.

As the goblins crowded around them, a goblin dressed in human cloth stepped out of the crowd of goblins dressed in animal skins.

He came to Li Ping'an's sitting under the giant wolf and bowed deeply to Li Ping'an on the wolf's back.

His long, limp nose almost touched the ground.

After bowing, the goblin, who looked like a nobleman among the goblins, looked up at Li Ping'an and said in his shrill and piercing voice.

"Hello my lord, all the 8,000 goblins that Mistress Piccolo asked us to prepare have arrived, where is Piccolo-sama now?"

Li Ping'an lifted the piccolo and put it on his shoulder, so that everyone else could see the piccolo.

When Piccolo was picked up by Li Ping'an, he wanted to struggle desperately, but in order to maintain his serious personality.

In the end, he chose to maintain his prestige.

When Li Ping'an put him on his shoulder, he felt a little flattered, and then sat calmly on Li Ping'an's shoulder.

He said in a serious, but actually forcible and calm voice: "Ge Kun, I heard what you just said, you did a good job, and when the war is won, the lord will reward you." ”

When Ge Kun heard Piccolo say this, he immediately bowed his head and thanked him.

Li Ping'an looked very funny, because he felt that Piccolo's words were completely empty words, how could the lord remember who you were after the battle.

But Ge Kun took this sentence seriously.

In fact, this is Li Ping'an's narrow-mindedness again.

After the victory of the war, the lord will definitely reward the race that sent troops according to the regulations.

At the very least, give them more territory so that they can expand their living range.

Otherwise, there will be no reward, and who will be willing to obey your orders in the future, at least in the future, your orders will be disobeyed, so that you will get twice the result with half the effort and make it difficult to implement the decree.

Therefore, the goblins sent 8,000 troops, although they lost nearly half of the population at once, but they won more living space for them.

As for the loss of 8,000 goblins, for them, as long as the territory grows, the lost population can be made up in half a year.

Even when the territory grows, the number of its own population will increase.

Anyway, he doesn't have to go to the battlefield, how many eight thousand goblins will die, he doesn't care at all!

After counting the number of goblins, Li Ping'an originally thought that these people would spend the night here and then leave the next day.

But unexpectedly, when the number of people was confirmed, Piccolo directly ordered the army to go to the front line of the border.

Li Ping'an himself felt that it didn't matter, but he was curious about whether this guy Piccolo would be tired? He had rushed to the village where the Wooden Tower was located, where he had just had a meal and came to the Goblin tribe without stopping.

Now that I don't plan to take a break, I'm ready to set off again, don't you need a break?

This has to do with the goblins' habits, they are used to going out at night, and even if they are sent to the army, they are attacking the city as a night army.

In this way, they can ensure that their combat effectiveness is at the peak.

Now they were tired from the group, but the goblins had just rested.

It is only after the large army that the speed of advance will reach the fastest state.

The front line is in urgent need of troops, and the sooner you get to the front, the better, although you are tired, you must complete the task first.

It has to be said that Piccolo can change from a domestic servant to a conscription officer, and he naturally has a certain ability.

Otherwise, there is no way to get rid of the fate of the race.

Hurrying during the day and resting at night, after three days, they finally came to the front.

Piccolo left all the goblins where they were, leaving one soldier to watch over them.

As for himself, he took Li Ping'an to the quartermaster department to register.

In the barracks, Li Ping'an saw many different races, including a small number of human races, pig-headed people with pig-headed bodies, lizardmen spitting letters, and a group of centaurs who looked extremely proud.

It can be described as a variety of types.

When they arrived at the Quartermaster's Office, they were received by a quartermaster named Raj.

It was clear that he knew the piccolo as a particular pygmy race.

He asked Piccolo in a slightly contemptuous tone, "Why is it that our petite conscription officer is here, and he still has a stupid-looking Terran." ”
