I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 130 Encountering the Owner During a House Raid

"Let him in."

Baron Taliss did not turn around and continued doing his own thing.

Only after the door closed again and the footsteps moved forward a few steps did he put down the pen and turn around.

Knight Valos smiled sincerely: "Congratulations, sir."

Baron Talis said with a hint of exasperation, "What is there to congratulate me on?"

Knight Valos's smile grew even warmer: "Of course, it's because you no longer have to support that greedy slave-catching team, sir."

Baron Talis raised an eyebrow.

Knight Valos continued, "Those greedy fellows actually kept one or three slaves for each member of the team, that's over four hundred slaves! Even your soldiers can't openly use that many!"

"This time, they were really taught a lesson!"

"Although there are less than forty team members left, and less than a hundred including slaves, they will definitely rely on you even more now."

"And with them dead, you won't need to supply so much food anymore, sir. You'll be able to handle the church much more easily next year."

After saying these words, Baron Talis finally smiled.

"My Valos, you're so quick-witted. The other two probably just thought I was trying to boost morale; they never expected what you were saying."

Knight Valos smiled and nodded: "Thank you, sir."

Baron Talis turned to the side and beckoned Valos over.

Knight Valos walked to the table and looked down at the map, which was divided into more than twenty sections.

"My lord, what is this?"

Baron Talis pointed to the map: "This is a map that the slave-hunting team explored. It's missing information about your team and the team that Zwan was with. I just tried to fill in the gaps. Take a look."

Knight Valos looked at the pattern that had just been drawn in ink.

It is true that outside the northern wall of his territory is a depression dominated by fir trees, and further north is a forest dominated by beech and oak trees.

"No problem, sir. Both areas are forests. There are many tall, old trees there, which are excellent for timber."

Baron Talis nodded slowly.

"Yes, this forest is so rich. There are endless trees, easily mined clay and stone, and maybe even coal. How come we never thought of that before?"

"It's all the church's fault for the ban!"

Valos gritted his teeth, his face contorted with anger.

"There are so many unclaimed treasures right next to our territory, yet they'd rather leave them unclaimed than let us collect them!"

"you're right."

Baron Talis nodded at the map.

"I plan to use the rest of this autumn to collect as much wood as possible, since it's perfect for soaking in water."

This is a necessary process for corrosion prevention.

They'll soak in the river during the winter, and then mortgage it next year.

Although these timbers haven't undergone complete processing, they aren't considered valuable.

But its advantage lies in its large quantity.

He can get some breathing room.

"I can send out manpower; those serfs who are even worse at farming than goblins are perfect for these tasks."

The knightly territory had no church and was not easily noticed.

Baron Talis didn't answer directly. He changed the subject and asked, "Have you tried making that goblin have babies?"

At this point, Knight Valos looked troubled.

"I tried, but that goblin absolutely refused to mate. Even when I fed it herbs meant for breeding cattle and sheep, it still took care of itself with its hands. It seemed, as if mating was a disgrace to it."

Baron Talis's smile vanished.

How could this happen?

Have goblins stopped mating?

"laugh."

As he thought about it, he laughed at himself in anger.

"You lewd and monstrous child, you actually dare to read on your own, just pretending you're not a wild beast. Fine, before you cut down the trees, ride the dragon horse and verify this map for me."

Now let's get down to business!

Knowing that the conversation was about to end, Knight Valos breathed a sigh of relief.

"It is my honor to follow your will, my lord."

……

Two days passed quickly.

At dawn, the remaining slave-catching team returned to the stronghold.

"Hurry up! Get out of here if you don't want your injuries to get worse!"

Swish!

"Ah! I understand, sir!"

Hiko, riding on his horse, looked back.

One of the team members was angrily whipping a logistics slave with a tree branch.

He spoke up to stop them: "Alright! If he doesn't want to leave, you can pull him! Don't cause any more injuries!"

"Yes! Hurry up and thank the Commander-in-Chief!"

The slave catchers put away the branches and glared at the slaves.

Despite the pain, the slave expressed his gratitude.

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."

The other slaves quickly lowered their heads and hurried on their way.

"You bastards!"

Kamo abandoned his usual calm demeanor and began to curse fiercely.

"I've never let you go hungry before, and you actually tried to escape! You'd better behave and I'll spare your lives!"

"Yes, yes."

"Thank you, Chief."

The slaves, whose hands were bound, thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, the logistics slaves at the rear of the column split into two groups. One group carried things normally, and although their clothes had turned gray and black, they were still intact.

The other group of slaves, whose hands were bound, were all injured, and even their clothes were tattered.

This wasn't left behind during the battle, but rather pulled out with tree branches after they were captured.

These slaves actually tried to escape after their defeat!

Fortunately, none of the bodyguards were lost, and the three leaders quickly led their men to catch up with them.

Although they had regrouped, the once-large slave-catching team was now reduced to just over ninety people, including three leaders and more than twenty personal guards.

Both the team members and the slaves are now valuable assets, and Camo will not cause any more casualties.

But don't even think about escaping punishment!

"alright."

Seeing the team's low morale, Evok spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Although we lost this battle, we're not in too bad shape."

Everyone looked up at him.

He continued, "We have plenty of supplies in our base as a reward for your loyalty, and you will have a comfortable winter."

As he spoke, he looked at Camo.

The other team members also looked at their leader, Camo.

Camor nodded: "Eivok is right, this is a reward for your loyalty! As for the others, I hope you will recognize the consequences of your sins!"

"Thank you, Chief!"

"Thank you for the chief's mercy!"

"I want to capture female slaves and deliver them to the chief!"

The team members were caught between extreme joy and sorrow, and coupled with the hardship of retrieving the slaves and the fatigue from fighting and traveling, their minds were already clouded.

They can say anything.

Suddenly, Hiko spoke up: "The outpost is just ahead!"

Fields and an unattended platform came into view of the group.

Camo urged the horses to pick up the pace slightly: "Hurry! Back inside the wooden wall! You two should get some sleep!"

"good!"

"I'm so sleepy!"

They excitedly rushed towards the wooden wall ahead, hoping to catch up on some sleep while leaning against the defensive structure.

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the wooden wall.

"Attack this way!"

"Attack this way immediately!"

"Dahwa!"

"Wow!"

"Hey wow!"

A voice was followed by a creaking sound, and a dark shadow flew out from behind the wooden wall that had originally symbolized safety!

It's a stone!

"No! No!"

"Goblins again!"

"Mother!"

Hearing a wail from outside the wall, Li Mosi smiled.

Today, during another house raid, I ran into the homeowner.
