I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 35 Introducing Some Advanced Slavery

"Goblin ears?"

"Who knows whose it is? Never mind."

"With just these few leather clothes and pants, humans are so poor."

"How are you poor? You're still wearing wool!"

"Those wool clothes are dirty."

"This shield is beautiful, the color is lovely."

"Is it possible that these nine are combat slaves?"

"I really want to smash a rock over your head!"

Many goblins gathered around the pile of supplies, chattering and pointing at the items.

They didn't seem to notice the ears of those hundred-odd goblins.

Zi Yi yelled, "Get to work!"

The goblins quickly scattered to help their companions tie up the unconscious human.

Although goblins crudely categorize food into cheap and precious items, the value of food within the same pile can vary greatly.

For example, most of those cheap foods were cheap, stale bread with a strange smell.

They were found by goblins on the slaves and in the donkeys' backpacks; these were likely food prepared by the slave-catching team for the slaves.

Li Mosi did a quick calculation and found that these old breads weighed about two hundred pounds.

The remaining third consisted mostly of dry rations similar to old-fashioned compressed biscuits, which did smell like fresh grains.

This was the food for the official workers of the slave-catching team.

The compressed biscuits are small in size, but weigh half as much as a baguette.

As for the remaining dozens of kilograms of oats, perhaps they were used to feed the donkeys?

Li Mosi had never encountered this before and didn't understand it.

He only understood one thing.

The calorie consumption of these regular employees is calculated based on that of soldiers.

Li Mosi had a general idea in mind and turned to look at another pile of "precious food".

Cured fatty meat, dried cheese, smoked meat...

Without exception, they are all high-salt, high-protein, and high-fat foods.

In total, it weighs about forty pounds.

Then, he opened the wooden barrel and smelled the contents.

It's strong liquor, and we've already consumed about half of it.

"What's that smell? It's so strong!"

"Alcohol. Didn't you smell it just now?"

"Strange wine. Pungent smell."

The goblins smelled the wine as soon as the barrel was opened.

After confirming the contents, Li Mosi put the lid on the bucket.

"Get to work! Don't let the humans wake up!" Zi Yi ordered the goblin Squeak, who was looking around, and then asked, "Master, what kind of wine is in here? It smells so pungent."

"Strong liquor. Just a small amount is enough to soothe the mind; these people use it to relax while fighting in the forest. It can also be used to treat wounds."

After Li Mosi gave a brief explanation, he asked Zi Yi.

Do you drink a lot?

In his memory, he rarely drank alcohol because there were clean streams and wells on the estate.

For them, diluted beer is a kind of "medicine" for relaxation and also for maintaining their health.

Li Mosi vaguely remembered that there were several vitamins in the wine.

I wonder what it's like on the goblin side.

However, judging from the wooden barrels used to mix the fertilizer, the goblins must have been drinking alcohol.

We don't have many opportunities to drink.

Zi Yi shook his head.

"I've tried making it myself before, but it's easy to fail and it uses a lot of food."

So you gave up?

Li Mosi nodded.

This goblin tribe does seem to have some ambition.

It's a pity they couldn't become human.

He made a rough estimate in his mind: although the food looked like a lot, it could only feed this high-consumption team for another four days.

This is assuming they can find some food in the forest to supplement their diet.

However, this food alone is enough to feed the goblins for six days.

But what if we were to treat humans as slaves?

If they don't suffer fatal injuries and all 25 survive, there's enough food for both goblins and humans...

"Still four days."

Li Moss obtained the results.

Zi Yi asked curiously, "Master, what did you mean by four days?"

Li Moss explained to his disciple: "If these humans were enslaved, the harvested food would be enough to feed the tribe and the slaves for four days."

"Then we might as well eat them."

The old goblin, without anyone noticing, pulled the saintess over.

He turned to Ziyi and asked, "Ziyi, how much did you harvest?"

"have……"

Zi Yi turned his head to look at the pile of supplies.

"The armor consisted of a special set of armor worn by bear-orcs, nine thick woolen coats, nine soft leather coats, two shoulder armors, two chainmails, and nine helmets. The weapons included two iron swords, eighteen spears, two daggers, four axes, three scythes, and a hammer. Oh, and a wooden shield and some other miscellaneous items."

Actually, there were some miscellaneous items he hadn't had time to look at.

But that doesn't matter.

The team's main weapons are cheap spears that don't require much training, and some members also carry a secondary weapon.

The secondary weapon is not a proper weapon, but a tool.

Zi Yi then looked at the pile of food and said, "According to our master, this food is enough for us and humans to eat for four days."

"That's too little."

The old goblin shook his head.

In preparation for dealing with humans, they have not gone out to gather or hunt for the past two days.

They have almost exhausted their food reserves.

Even if we include those inedible pine nuts, we'll have one more meal at most in the evening after lunch.

They need to get through the winter.

The food harvested from humans this time was far too little.

The old goblin looked up at Li Moss: "Shall we just eat them?"

"..."

Li Mosi felt somewhat helpless.

The old goblin has been acting strangely since yesterday.

He first proposed killing the strong goblins, and now he's thinking of eating humans.

Li Mosi's plan for the development of civilization did not include such a primitive step.

wrong--

Li Mosi looked at the old goblin.

Although he hasn't changed much, he even looks a little more energetic.

But these past two days he's been just as anxious as when Li Ziyi was the leader!

They practically wished they could solve both the internal affairs and resource problems at once!

Realizing the problem, Li Moss said, "We can't do that. The food will spoil. Using easily perishable food makes these people more valuable to live. As slaves, they can help you farm and cut down trees. This way, more goblins can become warriors, preparing you to fight against more humans."

They had previously speculated that humans must have many teams.

This isn't the only team we'll be facing.

That's why the old goblin wanted to relocate in the first place.

Zi Yi opened his eyes wide, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The old goblin nodded slightly.

"Hmm?"

The saintess was puzzled.

What about dealing with more humans?

Li Moss pinched the saintess's mouth shut and continued, "How did we win? The key was knowing what they were going to do, but they didn't know our location or preparations. This gave us time to make weapons and train, prepare rolling logs, and ultimately, we were able to successfully ambush them. That's the difference in information."

Zi Yi was still thinking.

The old goblin remained silent.

Li Mosi sensed the saintess struggling and increased the force in her hands again.

He added, "From these humans, we can obtain information about their operation, and perhaps even information about other human groups. This will help us deal with the humans next."

The old goblin pondered, stroking the wooden staff in his hand.

"My late master..."

Zi Yi drew out his question, somewhat hesitantly.

"What if they don't tell us?"

Li Mosi looked at her disciple: "Then I'll teach you how to get them to tell us."

Upon hearing this, the old goblin gripped his wooden staff.

He nodded and looked at Li Mosi, saying, "Master, let's do as you say."

"Alright. Let's move all these people and donkeys back to the tribe first."
