Of course, the most troublesome thing now is how to properly handle post-war matters.
In this battle, the goblins suffered very little damage. After all, Lu Xidong used the fighting methods accumulated by mankind for thousands of years to fight against a group of cannibal trolls with insufficient IQ.
Fifteen were dead and twenty-seven were injured, and all of them were goblins from nearby villages. The big goblin under Guluwa was not injured at all.
It turned out that in order to concentrate their efforts against the ogres, a total of more than 500 goblins were gathered. In addition to Guluwa's tribe, there were also large groups of goblins from five other tribes.
A large group of goblins came closer and surrounded Lu Xidong, causing Guluwa to raise the stone ax in his hand, because most of his people were binding the ogre prisoners. Only Guluwa guarded Lu Xidong and never left. .
Long-term experience in internal fighting kept Guruva on high alert, but this time he guessed wrong.
"Lord Demon Lord, please listen to our wishes."
Five goblins wearing animal tooth necklaces came out of the crowd, knelt in front of Lu Xidong, looked at each other, and said in unison.
It seems that he is the leader of the five tribes. Goblin is an F-level social monster. Only the strong can become the leader of the tribe. The "strong" here refers not only to the physical strength, but also the level of intelligence. There are differences, so the higher the status, the more proficient in knowledge and language.
In fact, except for Guluwa's tribe, which is a descendant of Lu Xidong's demon clan, the other goblins are just "hourly workers" recruited temporarily, and they were only put together to repel the attacking ogres.
And because the Guluwa tribe that was loyal to Lucidong and evolved, it obviously shocked these latecomers. If this continues, for the surrounding goblin tribe, the only two options are surrender or destruction.
Which one to choose? Although goblins are stupid, they are not stupid.
"Well, let's talk about it." Having just won the battle, Lu Xidong couldn't bear to ruin everyone's excitement.
"We hope to follow you and become your dependents." The five Goblin clan leaders peeked at Lu Xidong with expectant eyes, and then lay down on the ground in unison, bowing deeply.
To be honest, Lu Xidong was a little hesitant about this request.
Different from when he first arrived here, Lu Xidong began to think about more realistic issues. Although the lair of the Guluwa tribe was simple, there were at least some mature wooden boards that had been dismantled before the war and made into a temporary fence to stop the ogres. .
The houses have been demolished. Where will everyone sleep when the sun rises? It has evolved into a big goblin, and it is no longer possible to get into the low cave. The existing camp will probably be overcrowded by the newly added goblin group, right? This is a matter of "living" for subordinates.
Another difficulty is that if you accept these more than 500 goblins, the amount of food collected so far is far from enough, and the "eating" problem will soon drag you down.
"Understood, I am willing to be everyone's master," Lu Xidong added loudly amid noisy cheers, "but we have more practical issues to consider."
Then he expressed his worries, and the goblins looked at each other, as if based on their intelligence, they really didn't think that far ahead.
"Master, you can let everyone gather the food and collections of each tribe together. This can barely sustain it for a while, and then everyone can work hard to collect food." Guluwa understood the habits of goblins better and put forward his own suggestion.
"Yes, we are willing to dedicate all the accumulation in the lair and work together." A clan leader spoke on behalf of everyone, and the surrounding leaders also agreed and nodded.
In fact, collecting these nearby goblin groups in advance can also prevent future fights for territory and expand the territory several times at once.
If there are any dissidents among them, they can also be controlled and killed nearby. Lu Xidong said in his heart, I will never allow betrayal. This is a heart that he has hardened through profound lessons in his previous life.
Maybe it's because the hatred is too deep that he will be reincarnated into a demon in this life? Lu Xidong laughed to himself. To control these monsters, one cannot be too kind-hearted.
Remind yourself again that if there are any betrayers - they will be killed.
Lu Xidong, who had already realized something, finally made a decision.
"Well, I welcome anyone who is willing to join." In the final analysis, although Goblins are weak, as a labor force for development, of course the more the better, but Lu Xidong was more responsible and solved the problem of livelihood in advance. The subordinates pointed it out.
Now the goblins were really cheering, kowtowing to Lu Xidong, and babbling in Goblin's unique language to express their allegiance.
Five hundred names... Thinking of this, Lu Xidong's head got bigger. It was really a huge project...
The newly joined guys each returned to their own tribes to transport supplies, leaving Guluwa's tribe to deal with another important matter - determining the disposition of the ogre prisoners.
Most of them were wounded with scars all over their bodies, and there were also some with minor injuries who fell into pits or were knocked unconscious by stones. There were about twenty people in total. They were all tied up tightly at this moment and surrounded by a circle of big goblins. Weapons against.
"Ouch~" the ogres shouted loudly, one after another, sad, angry and aloof. Apparently, they were caught by the goblins they despised. These guys felt extremely ashamed.
In fact, the big goblin is already a D-level monster, not far away from the ogre level, but it is still difficult to convince the other party of the fact that "he will lose".
What to do with these prisoners? To be honest, Lu Xidong was in a dilemma.
Kill them all? Lu Xidong was very hesitant. You must know that this is different from betrayal. As an enemy, the ogre's attack is blameless. If he does this, it will inevitably push the two races of goblins and ogres into an unending blood feud. relation.
If we want to develop steadily, we cannot adopt such a radical approach.
Continue to be imprisoned? Obviously it's not a good idea. I was just worried about the goblin's food and accommodation. Now I want to raise these stupid fat people for nothing? They all looked delicious, but Lu Xidong's stingy ailment broke out and he felt an inexplicable pain in his body.
Then the only option was "reform through labor." Lu Xidong made up his mind and asked Guluwa: "Guluwa, can you communicate with them?"
"Yes, Master." Monsters in the Forbidden Forest sometimes need to communicate with each other. Guruwa has good language skills and can communicate simply with the ogre.
"Then tell them that I can let them go," Lu Xidong continued, ignoring Guluwa's surprised expression, "As long as any one of them can knock me to the ground."
"Absolutely not. How could the master do such a dangerous thing?" Guluwa was surprised, and he objected: "Subordinate... I request to replace the master... to fight..."
Stuttering, Guluwa requested that he fight for Lu Xidong, but the cold sweat on his forehead had betrayed him. This guy was obviously scared to death. Lu Xidong smiled in his heart.
"Well, Guluwa, I accept this loyalty." Lu Xidong patted Guluwa's shoulder with his hand to encourage him, "But, leave these guys to me."
In fact, this is also a good opportunity to establish personal prestige. Lu Xidong wants to knock the ogre they fear to the ground in front of all the goblin subordinates, thereby establishing a deep impression of himself as a powerful demon in the hearts of his subordinates. , this is the way he realized to control monsters.
Not relying on simple preaching and profit induction, but using absolute power to create a ray of light in the other party's heart, guiding all subordinates to follow the direction they are going.
"Of course, if you are a loser, stay and be a slave to the Goblins!" Lu Xidong motioned to Guluwa and conveyed this sentence to the captured ogre, with the emphasis on "Slave of the Goblins" "A few words.
Sure enough, after hearing the duel invitation and the punishment of becoming a Goblin slave relayed by Guruva, all the ogre captives were stunned for a moment, and then let out an even more piercing roar, and the ropes on their bodies became tight due to their hard struggle, as if they were under It was as if they were about to rush in front of Lu Xidong in a moment.
The gentle morning light appeared on the eastern sky, and it was dawn.
"The duel will begin after the sun sets again." Lu Xidong left these words, turned and left, leaving behind the angry ogre captives and the doubtful big brothers.
This night just passed.
