Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 137 – Father and it

Gobu Ge shook his head.

"Boss, I've never tried it!"

"Then go give it a try!"

Gobu Ge nodded and turned to run deeper into the cave.

"Don't use the blast furnace, use the bonfire!"

"I know, Boss."

Watching Gobu Ge's figure disappear into the distance, Li Meng muttered to himself.

Will it explode?

If it does explode, I wonder how powerful it would be.

At this moment, Li Meng felt both anticipation and a bit of nervousness.

Before long, Gobu Ge returned.

He was holding another Fire Crystal.

Because the boss liked glowing things.

Gobu Ge was very particular about collecting glowing objects.

Whether useful or not, he would gather some.

Arriving at the bonfire, Gobu Ge tossed the Fire Crystal into it.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the Fire Crystal hit the bonfire.

The flames suddenly turned an eerie blue.

"Ah!"

The scorching heat made Gobu Ge let out a scream.

He rolled and crawled away from the bonfire.

Screaming, he dashed into the river.

The surrounding goblins were also startled by the blue flames.

They quickly moved away from the center of the intense heat wave.

"Blue flames?"

Unlike the frightened goblin underlings.

Li Meng, not far away, was full of excitement.

Blue flames indicate an ultra-high temperature phenomenon.

At least 2500-3000 degrees Celsius.

With the Fire Crystal, the efficiency of iron smelting would increase several times.

Tempering would also become much easier.

And perhaps even the silver ore could be smelted.

Just as Li Meng was feeling pleased, the bonfire suddenly went out.

It extinguished very abruptly.

One moment it was burning vigorously.

The next moment, the flames vanished.

As if suddenly doused with water.

The extinguishing of the flames made Li Meng frown slightly.

He quickly approached the bonfire.

Upon closer inspection, Li Meng realized what had happened.

The intense heat had instantly turned the firewood to ash.

Without flames to ignite it, the Fire Crystal stopped releasing its magic.

"It seems charcoal isn't suitable as an igniter for the Fire Crystal!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

He initially thought that with the Fire Crystal, iron smelting efficiency would increase several times.

Now it seemed he was overthinking it.

Forget about charcoal, even coal wasn't qualified to ignite the Fire Crystal.

The only thing that could serve as an igniter for the Fire Crystal might be magical alchemy.

Magic could generate flames out of thin air.

As long as magical flames could burn steadily and continuously.

They could serve as an igniter for the Fire Crystal.

"Still need to seize people!"

Li Meng shook his head and walked out of the cave.

Alchemy was only known by humans, so he had to seize them.

"Boss, boss, should we mine the Fire Crystals?"

Seeing the boss leave, Gobu Ge in the water quickly shouted.

"Prepare some, but not too much."

"Boss, I got it!"

After leaving the Iron Cave, Li Meng hurried back to the throne tribe.

In the following days, Li Meng was busy tinkering with the sand table.

Seven days later, at the throne tribe.

In the morning, inside the throne cave.

"Finally done!"

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Li Meng nodded with satisfaction.

The sand table hadn't grown larger.

It still covered an area of over ten square meters.

But the models inside had been miniaturized.

Compared to the previous sand table, it was more detailed.

The previous sand table only had a small section of the Goblin River's banks.

Now, the sand table displayed the entire Goblin Forest map.

Looking into the sand table, the mountains, forests, and rivers were lifelike.

There were also miniature watchtowers standing in the sand table.

Each watchtower represented a sub-tribe.

At a glance, watchtowers were scattered throughout the Goblin Forest.

The distance between each watchtower was almost uniform.

On top of the watchtowers were small red and blue flags.

The flags were made of leaves.

Blue represented established tribes.

There were few, only twenty-one.

Mainly concentrated in the forests on both sides of the Goblin River.

The others were unbuilt tribes.

The population limit for each tribe was 1000, with an extreme limit of 1500.

When a tribe's population reaches 1500, they can apply to the throne tribe to build a new tribe.

At that time, the extra five hundred population can go to a new location to build a new tribe.

The boss of each tribe has a fixed name but not a fixed goblin.

Whoever is strong can rise to the top.

The goblin who rises automatically inherits the boss's name.

Take the Gobu Di tribe, for example.

If one day Gobu Di is defeated by an underling.

Then Gobu Di will lose the name Gobu Di.

The new boss will inherit his name.

If Gobu Di is still alive, he will inherit the new boss's previous name.

"Go call Gobu Mo!"

Li Meng turned and shouted towards the door.

A goblin guarding outside the door shivered.

It sprinted into the depths of the forest.

"Boss, boss!"

Before long, Gobu Mo's voice echoed from outside the door.

He trotted into the throne cave.

Sliding to his knees, he knelt behind Li Meng.

"Boss, you called me?"

"Come here!"

Gobu Mo quickly crawled closer to the sand table.

Li Meng pointed with the Big Iron Rod at the southern shore of the Goblin River on the sand table.

"Which direction is this?"

Gobu Mo looked down at where the Big Iron Rod pointed.

He tilted his head, somewhat uncertainly pointing south.

"And what about here?"

Li Meng pointed to the Gobu Tian tribe.

"Boss, I know, I know, over there!"

Gobu Mo's hand pointed east.

Gobu Mo's answer made Li Meng very satisfied.

Being able to recognize directions meant he could read the map.

As expected of his descendant.

At least a bit smarter than other goblins.

"Gobu Mo, you must remember these mountains, they are the most prominent landmarks!"

Gobu Mo nodded.

"Your task is to lead the assembled goblin army southward to expand the hunting grounds and build sub-tribes in this area."

Li Meng pointed with the Big Iron Rod to that area deep in the southern forest.

This expansion would delve five hundred kilometers into the Goblin Forest.

Gobu Mo would lead about eight thousand goblins to that area to build sub-tribes.

If all went well, by this time next year, that area would be teeming with goblins.

"If you encounter goblins from other nests along the way, eliminate them!"

Gobu Mo nodded vigorously with excitement.

He loved fighting the most.

This was an expedition, truly interesting and thrilling.

"Remember to bring a few three-bow ballistae, they can reduce losses when encountering powerful magical beasts!"

The three-bow ballista had considerable power.

It could kill non-"Elite" magical beasts in one hit.

Even Yue'e would find it hard to withstand a direct attack from a three-bow ballista.

Only "King rank" magical beasts could resist the attack of a three-bow ballista with their strong bodies.

"Boss, I got it!"

"Bring all the tools you can, as much as possible."

"Bring plenty of bolts and bowstrings too."

"Being too far from the throne tribe, these things are hard to replenish."

"Female Lizardmen can't be brought, as usual!"

"If you encounter strong enemies and suffer heavy losses, you can retreat."

Li Meng, like a true father, gave endless instructions to Gobu Mo.

Gobu Mo knelt on the ground, obediently listening.

His big head nodded continuously in response.
