Dominion of the Goblin Lord

Chapter 69: Attack and Defense

Before long, Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao hurried over.

From a distance, Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao saw the Boss outside the Throne Cave Dwelling.

The Boss's tall and strong figure made the two big goblins look at each other.

The Boss actually evolved into a goblin warrior?

Gobu Mo immediately quickened his pace.

Gobu Gao then ran with all his might, surpassing Gobu Mo.

"Boss, that's great, you've finally advanced to become a goblin warrior!"

Gobu Gao ran up to Li Meng with a flattering expression.

Gobu Mo, who was a few steps behind, glared at Gobu Gao.

"Boss, what's the matter for calling us here?"

Gobu Mo also had a flattering expression.

But it was smarter than Gobu Gao, and asked about the important matter right away.

"Come with me!"

Li Meng left the front of the Throne Cave Dwelling and walked deeper into the forest.

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao quickly followed.

Li Meng went all the way into the forest.

He didn't stop until he was several hundred meters away from the tribe.

"Gobu Mo, Gobu Gao, from now on your task is to build a wooden wall to enclose the tribe!"

"Right now, what you need to do is clear a buffer zone around the tribe by cutting down the trees."

Li Meng thrust the large iron rod into the ground.

One end of the iron rod sank deep into the soft soil.

Then he forcefully drew a large circle.

"The width of the buffer zone should not be less than five hundred meters!"

Li Meng swung the large iron rod and pointed at the big tree beside him.

"About as wide as the height of ten big trees, understand?"

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao both looked up at the big tree beside them.

How tall was ten big trees?

"Boss, how much is ten big trees?"

Hearing Gobu Mo's inquiry, Li Meng rolled his eyes.

Fine, in the future he still had to teach the goblin underlings some counting.

They must know what 1, 2, 3, 4 mean.

"First arrange goblins to cut down the trees, I will teach you on site!"

"There are logging axes and saws in the warehouse, go!"

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao nodded.

Then they turned and hurried away.

In the forest, Li Meng watched the backs of the two big goblin underlings leaving.

He didn't withdraw his gaze until they were completely out of sight.

Sweeping his eyes around the forest, Li Meng grinned.

"Since attacking won't work, then defend!"

Previously, Li Meng felt there was no need to build a wooden wall.

Because he thought that rather than passive defense, it was better to take the initiative to attack.

Although a wooden wall could effectively protect the tribe, it would also bring some trouble.

And once goblins fell into passive defense, they would not be far from failure.

Now, Li Meng had changed his viewpoint.

Why choose?

Li Meng wanted both defense and offense.

Before long, the tribe was in an uproar.

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao led a large group of goblin underlings over in mighty formation.

Some goblins carried logging axes, while others carried saws.

At a glance, the dense cluster of green-skinned figures numbered no less than five hundred.

Before long, the deep forest echoed with the clamor of logging.

The repetitive sounds echoed through the depths of the forest.

From time to time there was the rustling sound of trees toppling.

In the following days, Li Meng began teaching the goblin underlings some basic counting.

By the fifth day, the deep forest had changed drastically.

Several hundred meters away from the tribe, there was now a cleared zone in the forest.

The cleared zone was five hundred meters wide and six hundred meters long.

On the bare ground, tree stumps were everywhere, and layers of branches and leaves were piled up.

A large number of logs were scattered all over, crisscrossing in disarray.

The cleared zone was not straight; it was curved.

Before long, the cleared zone would wrap around the tribe.

"How many is this?"

In one part of the cleared zone where logs were piled up.

Li Meng held three wooden sticks in his hand.

Gobu Mo, Gobu Gao, and a group of big goblins sat obediently on the ground.

Some members of the hunting team had returned and been required by Li Meng to join the wall-building team.

Now the number of goblins building the wooden wall had exceeded one thousand.

Li Meng pointed to Gobu Gao.

The Boss's question made the big goblins shrink their necks.

Their gazes were somewhat evasive.

"Gobu Gao, you answer!"

Gobu Gao stood up, scratched his head, and then looked down at his hands.

Eyes brightening, Gobu Gao spoke a number.

"3, this is 3!"

Li Meng nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, that's correct!"

Gobu Gao grinned, very excited.

"Then what does 3 mean?"

Li Meng continued to question Gobu Gao.

Gobu Gao looked down at its feet.

It bent down and picked up three small stones from the ground.

"One stone, two stones, three stones!"

Gobu Gao's answer made Li Meng very satisfied.

After his teaching these days, the goblin underlings finally understood the meaning of numbers 1 through 10.

Numbers were the foundation of enlightenment.

Although this could not change the inherent stupidity of goblins.

But from now on he could command the goblin underlings more effectively.

"Very good, Gobu Mo, Gobu Gao, you know how to build the wooden wall now, right?"

Not far away, at the edge of the cleared zone, a small section of wooden wall had already been built.

The wooden wall had two layers, hollow in the middle.

It was about 7 meters high and 5 meters wide, and every fifty meters a fifteen-meter-high watchtower would be built.

The trees in the forest were all very tall, averaging about 70 meters in height.

It wasn't that the wall couldn't be built higher.

But above seven meters, the workload would be huge.

It would be much more troublesome to build.

After all, raising logs that were seven meters long wasn't easy.

Fortunately, the tribe now had quite a number of big goblins.

With them around, handling seven-meter-long logs was no problem.

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao nodded quickly.

"Very good, I'll leave this place to you. Work hard and don't slack off!"

Facing the Boss's gaze, a group of big goblins shrank their necks.

Without saying anything else, Li Meng threw away the wooden sticks in his hand.

Then he turned and walked back in the direction of the tribe.

"Go find Gobu Yi, Gobu Zhang, Gobu Sheng, and have them come see me!"

As he walked, Li Meng waved to a goblin underling behind him.

A goblin following behind Li Meng immediately ran towards the tribe.

Gobu Yi, Gobu Zhang, and Gobu Sheng had always stayed in the tribe.

Their task was to guard the tribe.

Time reached afternoon, the sun was blazing overhead.

When Li Meng returned to the Throne Cave Dwelling, the wooden house was empty.

At this time, the female lizardmen had gone to the Iron Cavern.

"Why are goblins not omnivorous creatures?"

Smelling the strong milky aroma in the house, Li Meng couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The milky aroma was indeed pleasant, but it couldn't be drunk.

Not that it couldn't be drunk, but it tasted strange when drunk.

"Could it be that the original flavor of milk itself isn't good to drink?"

Back when he was a human, Li Meng had heard that human milk didn't taste good.

But he never had the opportunity to try it personally.

After all, an adult man only had the chance after marrying and having children.
