Chapter XXVII

Kobolds and goblins also grow food, but their sowing methods are the most primitive slash-and-burn farming, finding a piece of wasteland, setting a fire to burn the weeds on the ground, and when it rains, scattering some plant seeds on the ground, as for the harvest, it is completely dependent.

Although the goblins and kobolds are very poorly cultivated, they are still capable of cultivating wasteland, and Su Lun is ready to reclaim five thousand acres of land in the territory before the north wind arrives, at least so that the territory can be self-sufficient in food. These barbarians are all big stomachs and consume three times as much food as ordinary people.

In this world, except for nobles or big businessmen, ordinary people have two meals a day, and the same is true for these barbarians, but Su Lun is ready to change it to three, as the main combat unit, it is not okay to fight hungry. The only problem is food shortage.

There were now forty-five artisan slaves, thirty-five barbarian warriors, and in a little while the barbarian wives and children would come, and the number of barbarians would be one hundred and twenty-four, and forty mercenaries, and more than a thousand native slaves.

With so many mouths, the consumption of food has directly quadrupled, and the food that used to be able to eat for several months is now only enough for two months at most.

If you want to develop the territory, you still need enough manpower, although there are more than a thousand people in the territory now, but those goblin jackals and kobolds will definitely not be able to join the territory, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, this reason Su Lun is still clear, so there are not many people in his territory.

Races such as barbarians or dwarves are at least not very different from humans, at least they don't have the custom of cannibalism, and whether they are jackals, kobolds or goblins, these races have no taboos, let alone humans, they are really evil, but they will not let go of the corpses of allies and clansmen.

The Gnolls enslaved the goblins and didn't just use them as cannon fodder, they actually served as food and grass. When food is scarce, they will eat goblins or kobolds.

Therefore, these monsters can only be used as slaves, and it is impossible for them to join the territory and become free people.

To the north of the Hongsha River, Su Lun led a pair of barbarian warriors to clear out the goblins and kobolds here, because the surrounding tribes have been completely wiped out by Su Lun, but there are still groups of wandering goblins or stray kobolds in this wilderness.

These weed-like monsters may not be able to form a new tribe again in a few months. In order to maintain the rule of this land, Suren would come to clear some of them every once in a while, and catch some of them back as slaves by the way.

The construction of the territory is very heavy, even in the previous life of the 21st century, there are many safety guarantees, there will be various accidents on various construction sites, in this world is not as productive as the Middle Ages, it is completely normal to die a few slaves. So in order to ensure the progress of the project, it is necessary to capture some slaves every once in a while.

"Head, a small tribe of goblins was found in the woods ahead, about two or three hundred people, and some of them were big goblins. Said a barbarian who had returned from reconnaissance.

Su Lun nodded, and then opened the strategic map in the system, at this time, the location of the group of goblins had been marked on the strategic map, and he had already found that as long as he or his army passed through, the original black area on the map would disappear, and the situation of this land would be displayed, just like now, according to him, in the woods five kilometers northeast of them, a group of goblins living here were marked.

Strategic maps aren't only useful in the realm area.

After determining the location of the goblin tribe, Suren prepared to take the barbarian to leave all the goblins behind. A dozen barbarians scattered in two groups and bypassed the sides of the camp, while Suren led two barbarians to attack from the front.

The creatures in the goblin are low in combat and are not strong-willed, and the casualties of their companions can have a great impact on them, in fact, even a single barbarian warrior can crush them.

Ten minutes later, Su Lun has already come to the outside of the goblin tribe, to deal with these goblins, there is no need for any sneak attack, and the battle can be ended directly in a wave, and the next thing is to capture the slaves.

There are no caretakers outside the goblin tribe, and the entire goblin camp looks dilapidated, with a lot of small dirtbag-like houses piled out of dirt, which should actually be called crypts, most of them are underground, with no windows, only one entrance, and are surrounded by wood.

Although it looks terrible, the warmth of this kind of house is still very good, and many poor houses in the Northland have absorbed the advantages of this kind of crypt, and half of the house is built underground, the only drawback is that the house will be a little damp.

Suren looked at the strategic map, and the other two teams of barbarians on the map had already arrived at the predetermined position, and then with a wave of his hand, he rushed towards the camp with two barbarians.

The figures of the three were quickly spotted by the goblins, one goblin took up a weapon and shouted at the other goblins to take up weapons to form a formation, but before he could finish the whole team, a hand axe swirled and slammed into its head.

"Kill!"

Suren wielded a spear, a steel spear, carrying the power of ten thousand pounds to smash the fence outside the camp to pieces. The goblin, who had just come to his senses, crawled out of the crypt in a panic.

After seeing the tall barbarian, before he could react, he was directly divided into two by the axe blade, and for a while, the three of them were like three meat grinders, rampaging in the goblin camp, and the remaining goblins were so frightened that they were already scattered, and they turned their heads and ran.

Seeing this, Su Lun adjusted his direction, a charge rushed over, and the iron spear swept away, and several goblins were whipped up like a sandstorm.

Although on the surface, there were no obvious scars on the surface of these goblins' bodies, but the leather armor behind them burst directly, and the broken internal organs mixed with blood gushed out of their mouths, and before they landed, they were already silent.

With the death of several goblins, no other goblins dared to resist, and all the goblins scrambled to escape for their lives. It's just that they just ran out of the camp and ran into the barbarian warriors who were waiting for the goblins, and in the face of a larger number of barbarian warriors, these goblins who had no gods and no owners only felt that the whole world was deeply malicious.

The battle was soon over, and the three sides were encircled, and the entire goblin camp was lying on the ground except for a few dozen who died and a few who were lucky enough to escape, and their bodies were even more trembling and huddled together.

"Do it according to the old rules, kill the old and weak, and tie up the rest with ropes and take them back to be slaves. ”
