Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 106 – The boss just likes strange things
Yue'e shook her massive head.
"Boss, I want to give you something!"
Li Meng patted Yue'e's large tusk and grinned.
"Then go ahead, I'll take anything you give me!"
"Wait, I'll go get it!"
Yue'e's enormous body turned and ran towards the deep water area.
In Li Meng's eyes, she dove into the water.
After a while, there was a loud splash.
Yue'e's massive body leaped out of the water.
She landed heavily in the shallow water.
Yue'e ran over, splashing water.
"Boss, it's this!"
Yue'e opened her menacing mouth and used her tongue to push out a silver metal disk.
"This is... a sacrificial disk?"
Looking at the item in Yue'e's mouth, Li Meng frowned slightly.
How did this thing end up in the northern swamp?
And it ended up in Yue'e's possession.
Li Meng took the sacrificial disk from Yue'e's foul-smelling mouth.
"Yue'e, where did you find it?"
Li Meng examined the disk and asked Yue'e.
"At the bottom of the water over there. At night, my kin like to gather around it, and it makes me uncomfortable."
The disk emitted an ominous aura.
The stronger the creature, the more they could sense it.
"Could it be that guy deliberately left it here?"
Looking down at the disk in his hand, Li Meng muttered to himself.
The northern swamp was home to many swamp crocodiles and swamp crabs.
Though they weren't very intelligent.
If they gathered around the disk, it might actually activate it.
"Looks like I need to get stronger quickly!"
If he had enough strength, he could capture Black Robe and interrogate him.
Then he would know what Black Robe's purpose was and what forces were behind him.
"I really like this gift. If you find anything similar in the future, give it to me."
The northern swamp was vast, and there might be more than one sacrificial disk.
"Boss, this thing is strange. Are you sure you like it?"
Yue'e's enormous eyes were fixed on the disk in the boss's hand.
Li Meng grinned and put the disk away.
"I like strange things. Alright, you continue sunbathing, I'm off!"
Li Meng ran off, leaving a long-lasting trail on the water's surface.
Watching the boss's departing figure, Yue'e's massive body lay in the water.
She closed her eyes, basking in the sun.
Her originally dark gray scales gradually turned a light red under the sun's heat.
The next morning, Li Meng returned to the tribe.
With the Pigmen tribe incident over, the tribe returned to its usual routine.
Time belonged to the Goblins.
Almost every day, new Goblin babies were born in the throne tribe.
Their arrival strengthened the tribe.
Similarly, Goblins died every day for various reasons.
Hunting parties expanded their hunting grounds deeper into the forest day after day.
Injuries and deaths were inevitable during hunting.
Another new day, in the morning.
Throne tribe, throne cave.
"Boss, something's wrong, something's wrong!"
A Goblin's shout suddenly came from outside the door.
Accompanied by hurried footsteps.
"Bang!"
The sturdy door was violently pushed open.
Gobu Zhang's tall body came running in.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Gobu Zhang's body came to an abrupt halt.
"Boss, you're busy, I'll... I'll wait outside!"
Seeing the boss sitting on the bed with a female Lizardman in his arms, Gobu Zhang smiled ingratiatingly and took a step back.
He quickly turned and ran out of the wooden house.
He thoughtfully closed the door on his way out.
After a while, the noise inside the wooden house subsided.
Soon after, there was a creak.
The door of the throne cave opened from the inside.
Li Meng's tall and strong figure emerged.
"Gobu Zhang, what's got you so flustered?"
Outside the wooden house, Gobu Zhang was waiting.
Seeing the boss come out, he quickly approached.
"Boss, my two hunting parties haven't been heard from in almost two months!"
Gobu Zhang wore a mournful expression.
Li Meng sat down on the steps at the door.

"Which direction did you send them?"
Gobu Zhang looked around and pointed north.
Seeing Gobu Zhang point north, Li Meng glared at him.
"They must have entered human territory and been dealt with by humans."
To the north lay a range of mountains, and beyond them was human territory.
After more than two months, they were surely gone.
"Damn humans!"
Gobu Zhang cursed in anger.
"Boss, I want revenge!"
Gobu Zhang was so angry he was panting heavily.
He knelt on the ground, his anger turning to flattery.
Li Meng waved his hand impatiently.
"Dead is dead. If they're dead, just have more. Revenge can wait for later."
Li Meng was contemplating how to change the future.
He didn't have time to stir up more trouble.
The tribe lost many Goblins daily for various reasons.
The disappearance of two hunting parties was nothing to him.
"Alright, spend the next few months in the tribe replenishing offspring."
Gobu Zhang's eyes lit up, despite his initial disappointment.
He quickly got up and ran joyfully into the depths of the forest.
Watching his subordinate's retreating figure, Li Meng shook his head helplessly.
Goblins were like that.
They had no resistance to eating and reproducing.
Gobu Zhang didn't care about the loss of two hunting parties.
He just wanted an excuse to stay in the tribe.
To help his Goblin subordinates evolve quickly.
Even Goblin Soldiers weren't allowed to stay in the tribe.
In a year, they spent at least half the time hunting with the hunting parties.
Li Meng glanced slightly to the west, towards the depths of the forest.
Next, he had to wait for the event to happen.
Three months had passed since the Pigmen tribe incident.
The Principality of Ilysis's pioneering legion would likely attack within a year.
The time wouldn't be less than six months.
"It seems preparing for war is the only option!"
Li Meng stood up and returned to the wooden house, expressionless.
In the coming year, he had only one task.
To reproduce as much as possible.
The Goblin subordinates had to find their own solutions for food.
If they couldn't find food nearby, they had to look further.
He had to increase the tribe's forces at any cost.
Soon, the silence in the wooden house was broken again.
And it lasted for a long, long time.
Almost every few days, the female Lizardman in the throne cave would be replaced.
Time passed little by little, day by day.
-----
Seven months later, in the Goblin Forest.
It was noon, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky.
Between the mountains, the Goblin River wound its way forward.
At the confluence of the main river and a tributary.
A large fleet was sailing upstream along the main river.
Tall sails formed a patch of white clouds on the river.
