Xiao Yu did not dare to wander around anymore. It was not even safe to stay in the camp. Although he had some goblins to fight with him, most of them were weak Goblin Slaves. If too many players rushed in, Xiao Yu could not do anything at all.
It was fortunate that he had trained some Goblin Scouts beforehand. Time to deploy them onto the Watch Tower.
“Close the gate! Goblin Scouts, go to the Watch Tower and be on your guard!” Xiao Yu commanded and rushed the newly trained Goblin Scouts onto the tower.
The Watch Tower could increase attack range. Xiao Yu was relieved to see all four Watch Towers occupied by Scouts.
He stood on the wall and looked outside. After some time, the team of players appeared. Seeing that the Goblins’ Camp was heavily guarded, they did not dare to force their way in. They hunted the Goblins that were alone outside and waited till night before leaving.
Xiao Yu did not plan to go out even though the players had left. The beasts around would have a buff at night, so Night Whisper Forest was a dangerous place for Goblins at night. The good thing was that Xiao Yu already had enough resources.
The camp became very busy for the rest of the day. A large number of Goblin Warriors and Goblin Scouts were being trained.
The Goblin Slaves had gathered a large amount of Wood and Food in the morning, and that was what Xiao Yu badly needed.
Wood was used for building Goblin’s Basha, and Xiao Yu built 10 more. The camp’s maximum population was raised to 200. That was the best they could do so far.
Food was used for recruiting the small Goblins. He recruited 60 of them and trained them into Goblin Scouts and Goblin Warriors. It took him half an hour to train one. In the entire morning, he only managed to train about 10 of them. In a whole day, including night, he could train at most 20 of them. He would need three days to train all of them.
Looking at the Goblin Scouts and Goblin Warriors picking up their simple weapons, Xiao Yu felt very assured.
He waited for another two hours, until 9 PM, when the two Goblins sent to deliver the message returned.
Eric (Goblin Flame Warlock) asked, “Have you delivered the message? Where is the other one?”
The Goblin Messenger replied, “Chief, we sent the letter to Blake Rhode and Golden Tooth. The one responsible for Hogg is not back yet. He was probably eaten by the beasts.”
“Send the letter again. Make sure the letter is delivered. You two will go together this time,” Xiao Yu ordered. He showed no mercy and disregarded how tired they were.
Goblins were born to follow orders. They replied, “Yes, Chief! It shall be done.” The two of them went on the journey again.
It was just a small episode, and Xiao Yu did not take it to heart.
Looking around, the camp was looking good. Goblin Slaves were collecting resources and Goblin Trainers were training soldiers. Xiao Yu was not concerned about how strong these soldiers were. An Adventurer at the same level could fight two or three goblins at the same time. Some with better equipment could even fight up to five of them. He was hoping that his Campfire could attract stronger monsters. Looking at the time, Xiao Yu decided to continue tomorrow.
The next morning, Xiao Yu rushed to the Campfire as soon as he entered the game.
He was stunned when he arrived. There was a giant, blue-skinned Ogre sitting beside the Campfire, chewing on something.
F*ck! It was the dead body of the Goblin Chef! Half of it was already in the Ogre’s stomach. The scene was really gross.
