“Stop daydreaming.” Xiao Yu threw cold water on their enthusiasm.

“Although a Monster Force can theoretically be upgraded to Kingdom, it’s just in theory. Not to mention the massive resources needed in the upgrade process or the need to fight with other Monster Forces to seize the territory, the fact that this Goblin Camp is located near a newbie village has doomed it to never be upgraded.

“Because the Mud Horde is close to a newbie village, the upper limit of this Camp is level 1, and it can’t be upgraded to the second level of Fortress. After all, the system can’t allow a strong Monster Force to appear near a newbie village. So basically, we can only be a level 1 Camp now. If we want to continue upgrading, we must go to other areas.”

There was something else that Xiao Yu had not told them. It was not easy for a Monster Force to move from a low-level map to a high-level one, as it would be hard to lead a group of low-level monsters to fight for territory with high-level monsters.

In fact, 40% of dead Monster Forces were destroyed or annexed when fighting with other Monster Forces.

But he did not need to tell this to the two irrelevant people in front of him.

“Alright, time to figure out what to do next.”

First of all, he needed to get some followers to keep up appearances. The Fertility Room could be used to produce small Goblins, one for 60 Food, and occupying 1 Population. Xiao Yu clicked and produced 20 of them immediately. After that, the food reserve was reduced by more than half.

“Go outside and see if there’s any change.”

Killer Codename 38 rushed back in and yelled, “Wow, there are so many small Goblins out there.”

Xiao Yu nodded. It seemed that his memory was not wrong.

Small Goblins could become Goblin Warriors, Goblin Scouts, or Goblin Slaves through training. There were two ways of training. One was to build a Goblin Military Camp, which required 150 Wood and 50 Stone, and they could be trained in batches. However, they had too few resources now, which obviously could not be wasted.

The other way was to recruit a Goblin Trainer, who could train the small Goblins one by one. Of course, this way was a little bit slower as it took half an hour to train one. But there was still plenty of time, so he would be better off recruiting a Goblin Trainer.

He spent 15 Gold and 100 Food to recruit a Goblin Trainer.

A fat Goblin in leather armor appeared in the tent. “Chief, Goblin Trainer Stoker has come to report.”

“Very good. Go outside and train all those small Goblins to Goblin Slaves.”

“Yes, Chief.” Stoker walked away.

“What should I build next?” Xiao Yu checked the list of buildings. As it was a level 1 camp, there were very limited types of buildings that he could build. Besides the existing buildings, there were three kinds of buildings that could be built now.

Goblin Shrine: The place where one prays to the gods to obtain Oracle (sacrifice is needed). The prayer has a chance to learn new spells in the process of praying. Construction price: 125 Wood and 100 Stone.

Campfire: Attract a certain number of wandering monsters to join the campsite every day. Need to pay an extra recruitment fee. Construction price: 100 Wood.
