Chapter 74 Please lead us!
"Okay, I'll explain slowly."
Big Eyes readily agreed, talking as they walked.
It actually doesn't speak very slowly.
However, due to the unique characteristics of goblin language, he kept chattering until they were almost back in the tribe before he finally finished speaking.
Even the saintess couldn't bear to listen anymore.
It would be better to just walk without saying anything.
But seeing Li Mosi's serious expression, she ultimately kept quiet.
The craftsman is looking at the air in front of him again.
I don't know what she's thinking.
After listening to Da Yan's story, Zi Yi felt that the matter was quite serious.
Although they knew there was another slave-catching team in the north, this team was clearly much stronger than the ones they were facing.
Those guys riding those giant donkeys seemed even more terrifying than Zi'an when they charged.
And there are actually two of these incredibly skilled guys!
We still need to ask our late teacher.
Zi Yi looked up at Li Mosi: "Master, this is roughly how it happened."
"Um?"
Li Mosi closed the [Leshanshui] map and listened to Zi Yi's description.
"There is a group of humans..."
Li Mosi gestured for him to stop: "Keep your voice down."
As he spoke, he pointed to the prisoners who were holding onto the tree trunk in front of him.
Zi Yi glanced in the direction he was pointing and understood.
He nodded and continued, "There are more than fifty humans to the north..."
Li Mosi thought Zi Yi would talk for a long time.
After all, that goblin with the huge eye squealed for about an hour.
As a result, Zi Yi finished speaking in less than five minutes.
Cavalry, large forces...
Li Mosi listened silently to Zi Yi finish speaking, without any expression.
He simply nodded: "I understand. Let's eat and rest first. We'll talk about this again tonight."
Such a big matter cannot be explained in a short time.
But the saintess was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.
The knights have arrived?!
She was certain that this remote area couldn't afford to support cavalry.
Although there are many horses, the vast majority of them are giant horses used for transporting goods or plowing fields.
If you want a horse that can fight while wearing armor, you can only buy it from the church.
The church, however, is governed and controlled.
To prevent the lords around the forbidden area from having any strange ideas, the control over the nobles in this area is particularly strict.
It's already a blessing for a baron to have horses to train and ride himself.
Then there is only one answer.
This is a "knight" appointed by the baron.
Knights have been sent to this forest, what exactly is the baron here planning to do?!
Zi Yi nodded: "Yes, Master."
Although he was somewhat anxious, he also knew the situation clearly.
Such an important matter cannot be decided casually on the road.
Looking at the intimate scene between the master and apprentice, Da Yan felt confused.
What exactly happened in the ten days or so after it was driven away by the trolls?
The humans have such a good relationship with the new leader.
As they talked, the group returned to the tribe.
"You watch them, and you put your things away properly."
Zi Yi quickly arranged what the supervisor and the gathering team needed to do next, and then he found the goblin in charge of cooking.
Sixty-three of the scattered goblins have returned. We'll prepare more food tonight.
"Yes, Chief."
The goblin who was cooking only glanced at it before quickly agreeing with a happy expression.
It's easy; just throw the stuff in the bin.
But the fact that the scattered goblins can return is undoubtedly a great thing!
It turned and ran back into the big cave, and Zi Yi also turned and walked towards the big eye again.
He noticed that the goblin gatherers and the seven overseers were busy with their own tasks, but Big Eyes and the newly returned goblins were standing there, stunned.
They stared blankly in the direction of the field.
Zi Yi walked over and said, "Big Eyes, you can rest first. I'll have the goblin wake you up when it's time to eat."
These goblins haven't slept for three days.
Zi Yi was afraid they would die in the tribe.
"Okay, sure."
With a blank stare, he agreed, then pointed to the field and asked, "This..."
It paused for a moment.
Because it has too many questions to ask.
How many people have actually been arrested?
Why are things growing in the fields again?
Why is there a tall human standing by the field?
It didn't ask the question aloud, but the goblins behind it started discussing it.
"Twenty...more than twenty humans!"
"We already have half the people chasing us!"
"That person standing there is so tall, is he really human?"
Why isn't he working?
"The beans have sprouted!"
"The fields are alive!"
The commotion caused by the large group of goblins was naturally not overlooked by the captives and Koyasu in the field.
But the prisoners in the fields still had to get to work.
They weren't as leisurely as the captives who were cutting down trees.
Only Zi'an came over.
The towering Koyasu was like a wall to the goblins.
She asked curiously, "Master, why are there so many goblins today?"
Li Mosi beckoned her closer and whispered, "You don't know what happened before, Ziyi's tribe encountered trolls..."
Finding that the other party was not hostile, Big Eyes decided to start by asking about what was in front of him.
It pointed at Zi'an: "Chief, who is this? Why doesn't he have to work?"
I had never heard of this person when I met the elder before.
Ziyi followed its finger and saw Zian.
He began by saying, "This is my sister, and you must all listen to her from now on."
younger sister? !
Big Eyes widened his eyes again.
It tilted its head back high, almost looking at Zian's face from the angle of looking at the sky.
At the same time, its mouth was wide open, as if its jaw had been dislocated.
But the surprise in Big Eyes' heart was even more exaggerated than its expression.
Is the old leader that powerful?
Goblins and humans can't have children, can they?
It pushed its chin up with its hand and pointed to the field: "That slave..."
"There are twenty-four slaves in total. Once the land here is loosened, they will also go to cut down trees."
With wide eyes, she looked at Li Mosi curiously: "Then why is the new elder human?"
Zi Yi was a little surprised: "You're only surprised now? Judging from your expression at the beginning, I thought you already understood."
Big Eyes shook his head: "Although I met the elder when I came back, and he told us about it, I still don't understand."
Zi Yi looked around: "You see fields?"
Big Eyes nodded: "Beans have sprouted again in the field."
"Whether it's the new weapon to defeat humanity or the method to restore the fields, it was the new elder who taught me. He is now my mentor."
The new elder... is the leader's mentor?
Big Eyes was completely stunned.
After a long silence, a meaty aroma wafted into its nose.
"Slurp, slurp—this rotten spear, the meat smells so good!"
"The meat smells different from before?"
"It's definitely different. What kind of meat is this?"
The goblins who had just returned started chattering amongst themselves, and Big Eyes realized what was happening.
It looked at Ziyi: "Chief, this meat smells different?"
They haven't eaten meat in a long time.
On their escape route, they ate whatever they could find, and when they were starving, they even ate insects and grass that they normally found disgusting.
Before Zi Yi could speak, the old one-eyed man, who had finished his work, came over again.
"You can smell that? It's wild boar meat!"
Big Tooth excitedly swung the pole: "Yesterday I used this to break a wild boar's leg! You have no idea how that big guy slid out of the water..."
Before Da Ya could finish showing off, Da Yan knelt down before Zi Yi.
"Chief! Please lead us!"
