Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 159 – Tribute from the Black Mountain tribe

The Temple Knight released the fat bishop's mouth.

The fat bishop, finally able to breathe again, gasped for air.

He turned angrily to glare at the Temple Knight who had covered his mouth.

The Temple Knight wisely stepped back and lowered his head.

"Hey, fat human, catch this!"

Li Meng pulled a sacrificial disk from the pouch at his waist and tossed it to the greasy fat man.

This sacrificial disk was something Li Meng had received from Bai Ling.

She had given it to him when he left the Black Mountain tribe.

Seeing something flying towards him, the fat bishop clumsily caught the disk.

"This is what you wanted. From now on, the Black Mountain tribe is under my protection, and I won't allow the Barbarian God to appear in the Goblin Forest. Tell Serov that the Goblin Forest has a new master, and he shouldn't come back. Otherwise, he won't be able to save that girl Tawil again."

"Ha ha ha!"

At the end, Li Meng burst into loud laughter.

The sinister laughter caused the fat bishop's expression to change.

"Alright, you can leave now. If you come back next time, you won't be able to leave!"

The laughter abruptly stopped.

Li Meng squinted at the group on the small boat.

On the distant large ship, a few human experts were hiding.

Li Meng could sense their presence.

In a previous timeline, he had dealt with everyone on that ship.

This indicated that those human experts weren't strong enough.

They couldn't even protect themselves, let alone others.

Thus, the humans left without any further interaction.

As the small boat was hoisted onto the deck, the large ship's deck became bustling with activity.

Sailors climbed the masts to lower the sails.

Below deck, sailors rowed the oars.

The massive ship gradually sailed away under Li Meng's watchful gaze.

It wasn't until the ship disappeared from view that Li Meng turned and left.

Walking briskly along the icy path, Li Meng wore a contemplative expression.

"I wonder if the Papal State's plans have changed!"

Even with the sacrificial disk, the Papal State might not believe it.

However, they probably wouldn't send a large army to invade the Goblin Forest.

If they only sent a group of adventurers to observe secretly, Li Meng could tolerate that.

He didn't want humans causing trouble for him before he could cause trouble for them.

"Hopefully, there won't be any issues here."

Although this timeline indicated that nothing major would happen to the Black Mountain tribe, Li Meng sometimes doubted the accuracy of future timelines.

In some sense, the future timeline is always correct before it's changed.

"Amon, is something troubling you?"

Seeing Amon looking worried, Vanessa became concerned.

Li Meng grinned and shook his head.

He crouched down in front of Vanessa and easily lifted her onto his shoulder.

"Let's go back!"

With that, Li Meng started running along the icy path.

He had initially planned to visit the Black Mountain tribe, but decided against it.

Unless necessary, it was best not to appear before the Lizardmen.

Seeking attention served no purpose.

Time passed, day by day.

Three days later in the afternoon, Li Meng and Vanessa returned to the throne tribe.

Another new day, in the morning.

Throne tribe, southern gate watchtower.

"Boss, we can't go any faster, or there won't be enough food!"

On the watchtower, Li Meng gazed at the bustling construction site in the distance.

On the wasteland outside the inner walls, wooden huts and caves stood tall.

More wooden huts and caves were being constructed in an orderly fashion.

Over ten thousand Goblins were working in the throne tribe.

Their food was supplied by other hunting parties.

Every day, hundreds of carts transported large amounts of carcasses between the sub-tribes.

The southern shore sub-tribe used bamboo rafts to send food downstream to the throne tribe.

To feed these ten thousand Goblins, thirty thousand Goblins had to hunt day and night.

Fortunately, Goblins didn't mind the stench of rotting corpses.

Otherwise, preserving the food would be a major issue.

After all, it took time to transport the prey to the throne tribe after hunting.

And the Goblin Forest's climate was quite hot.

After a few hours, the corpses would start to stink.

"Then let's build the houses first; the wooden walls can wait!"

There's at least half a year to a year before the demon army attacks.

There's no rush to build the wooden walls.

But the Black Mountain tribe's tribute will arrive soon.

"Gobu Sheng, send a message to the leaders of each sub-tribe, telling them to come to the throne tribe immediately to breed offspring!"

Upon hearing this, Gobu Sheng's eyes lit up.

He quickly climbed down the watchtower and rushed to the highest horn watchtower in the tribe.

Soon, a rapid and deep horn sound echoed from the tribe.

The long and short horn blasts swept across the land.

Before long, it was as if there was an echo.

Horn sounds began to ring out from all directions around the throne tribe.

The horn sounds were transmitted from one sub-tribe to another.

Eventually, all the tribes would receive the command from the throne tribe.

This was the "horn communication" system Li Meng had established.

It quickly transmitted messages between the tribes using horn sounds.

The throne tribe could send messages to the sub-tribes.

The sub-tribes could also send messages to the throne tribe.

Goblins were very sensitive to sound.

They could hear the horn sounds even from ten kilometers away.

And the distance between tribes was between 8-10 kilometers.

On a certain afternoon a month later, the tribute from the Black Mountain tribe arrived.

The calm waters of the Goblin River suddenly churned.

One Lizardman after another landed on the southern shore from the river section where the dock was located.

The Lizardmen, slightly anxious, looked at the tall wooden walls and dock on the shore.

They followed the figure with white eyes ahead.

Following the crowd, they entered the tribe through the only gate.

Entering the tribe from the southern gate, Bai Ling was shocked by the drastically changed tribe.

The nearly fifteen-meter-high wooden walls, the neatly arranged houses.

Everything appeared orderly.

In front of them was a wide road leading straight to the inner walls.

The ground had been leveled and covered with gravel and sand.

All of this was beyond the wisdom Goblins should possess.

On either side of the road, armored Big Goblins stood at attention.

They formed two lines, left and right, to welcome the arrival of the tribute.

Though each Goblin had a greedy look on its face, they stood still like statues.

The Lizardmen following Bai Ling formed a stream that flowed into the tribe.

And on the road ahead, a group of female Lizardmen awaited Bai Ling.

"Chieftain!"

The leading female Lizardman bowed to Bai Ling.

"Chieftain, this area is the residence for the male Lizardmen. Their task will be to fish and provide food for the tribe. The female Lizardmen will be assigned to other areas. Chieftain, please follow me!"
