Chapter 72: Wooden Fortress Stronghold
For now, he could only proceed step by step, taking one step at a ti.
Ti passed bit by bit, day after day.
In the following days, large-scale construction began at the wooden fortress stronghold in the Northern Marshlands.
The lizardn were responsible for felling trees in the forest on the eastern shore.
The goblins were responsible for sending all sizes of timber to the wooden fortress stronghold.
On the island, the wooden wall began construction from the eastern shore.
On the first day, only 30 ters of the wooden wall were built.
With a beginning, progress accelerated on the second day.
50 ters were built on the second day.
70 ters were built on the third day.
After three days, the daily construction length of the wooden wall never fell below 70 ters.
On the fifth day, in the morning.
“Boss, Boss, Gobu Zhang is back!”
A goblin ran up to Li ng with a flattering expression.
At this mont, Li ng on the island was observing the goblin underlings’ construction work from afar.
Without him watching, goblins loved to slack off the most.
Hearing the goblin underling’s report made Li ng’s eyes light up.
“Finally back!”
Li ng turned and walked toward the northwest shore.
He hurried to the shore and looked out over the distant marshlands.
In that direction, a mighty procession was approaching.
A dark mass of figures stretched out continuously, both large and small.
The small ones were goblins, the large ones were lizardn.
Although the number of lizardn far exceeded that of goblins,
The lizardn honestly traveled together with the goblins.
Both sides coexisted peacefully, each walking their own way.
It took more than an hour for the mighty procession to approach the island.
“Boss, I’m back!”
Seeing the Boss waiting on the shore.
From far away, Gobu Zhang ran toward the Boss.
Gobu Zhang, panting heavily, ca ashore.
He shook his body vigorously, shaking off the water on his animal skin.
Li ng glanced at the lizardn team not far away.
“They’re all here?”
Gobu Zhang nodded and grinned.
“They don’t understand what I’m saying. I gestured for a long ti before they understood. So lizardn didn’t want to co with us and started attacking us, so we ate them, and then they were willing to follow us!”
At this, Gobu Zhang laughed “wa haha.”
“Boss, those lizardn are too stupid, we wouldn’t eat them!”
Li ng’s gaze turned to the lizardn team coming ashore not far away.
There were quite a few of them, nearly eight hundred in total.
Most were won and children.
The number of adult male lizardn did not exceed three hundred.
It was very easy to distinguish female lizardn from male lizardn.
Female lizardn’s bodies were much more petite than those of male lizardn…
“How many male lizardn died?”
Gobu Zhang looked down at the fingers on his hands.
“There…there are…3…33!”
The number Gobu Zhang reported made Li ng grin.
“Not bad, well done!”
Only 33 male lizardn died.
Such a loss was within Li ng’s acceptable range.
Gobu Zhang chuckled, his eyes greedily fixed on those plump female lizardn.
“Boss…you…look…”
From Gobu Zhang’s lewd expression, Li ng knew what was on his mind.
“Now is not the ti for that. Have them go to work. Gobu Zhang, take your underlings to catch fish and bring the female lizardn. They are good swimrs and can effectively assist you. As for the male lizardn, have them build the wooden fortress stronghold.”
As more and more lizardn arrived here,
The demand for food would only increase.
Li ng was not at ease letting lizardn go out hunting.
If they took the opportunity to run away, it would be a loss.
It didn’t matter if one or two escaped, but not if they fled in groups.
Seeing Gobu Zhang’s sulky expression and lack of movent, Li ng’s face turned cold.
“What, do I have to say it a second ti?”
Gobu Zhang’s heart jumped at the Boss’s gaze.
“Boss, I…I understand!”
Instinctive fear made Gobu Zhang’s heart pound with terror.
He backed up a step, turned around, and ran toward the team coming ashore not far away.
Under the goblins’ scolding, the lizardn team that had just co ashore was forcibly divided into two groups.
Although the male lizardn were full of anger,
They dared not resist too fiercely.
Goblins were all around, and their wives and children were also here.
Once a fight broke out, it would affect their families.
In this way, with the arrival of the Black Scales Tribe lizardn, the island beca even more lively.
The abundance of manpower also made the island bustling.
With male lizardn around, goblins began to slack off.
They changed from laborers to overseers.
The next afternoon, at the busy construction site on the island.
A goblin was slacking off.
It lay leisurely on a log basking in the sun.
Although goblins didn’t like sunlight,
No matter how unpleasant the sunlight was, it was better than doing hard labor.
A passing big goblin kicked it.
This kick directly flipped it onto the ground, its butt sticking up.
“Don’t slack off, the Boss’s Boss is watching!”
The big goblin shouted.
This frightened the goblin so much that it jumped up in shock.
It gave a flattering smile and prostrated at the big goblin’s feet.
“Boss, I’m not slacking off, I’m watching these male lizardn work!”
The big goblin looked around.
Indeed, there were many male lizardn working around.
“You’re not lying to , are you?”
The big goblin looked down at the goblin at its feet.
The goblin quickly shook its head.
“No, I…I wouldn’t dare!”
The goblin nodded vigorously.
The big goblin grinned at the underling.
Its right hand suddenly swung up, slapping the goblin’s face.
“Ow!”
The goblin let out a miserable cry.
Its body flew several ters away and rolled on the ground.
“You think I’m stupid? I’m a big goblin! You were slacking off, now get back to work.”
The big goblin glared angrily at the goblin underling on the ground.
Although its face hurt, the goblin scrambled up in panic.
It crawled and rolled toward the working crowd.
This scene was witnessed by the male lizardn around.
They were happy to see goblins fighting each other internally.
“What are you looking at? Get to work!”
Seeing that the male lizardn around were watching this side,
The big goblin roared.
Although the male lizardn did not understand what the goblin was saying,
From the big goblin’s deanor they could also sense that the goblin was scolding them.
The nearby lizardn imdiately bowed their heads and continued working.
“Mm, the big goblins are still very obedient.”
This scene was seen by Li ng not far away.
Standing by the shore, Li ng nodded repeatedly.
Very satisfied with the big goblin’s performance.
The higher the goblin’s rank, the smarter it was.
Ordinary goblins were like big fools who couldn’t concentrate.
Although they were obedient, they were easily distracted by other things.
In places he couldn’t see, they would start slacking off.
