The sacrificial beast, though dangerous, is also the guardian deity of the Northern swamp.
With the swamp crocodile king around, no other high-level Magical Beasts would dare enter the Northern swamp.
But today, they witnessed the swamp crocodile king becoming a mount for the Goblins.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How could this happen?"
The Lizardn found it hard to accept that re Goblins could achieve such a feat.
re Goblins had managed to subdue the swamp crocodile king.
"Gobu ng, Gobu ng!"
As Li ng rode Yue'e closer to the island.
The Goblins on the shore excitedly shouted in unison.
They looked at the boss on the back of the giant crocodile with nothing but fervor in their eyes.
Hearing the unified shouts of the Goblin underlings on the shore, Li ng grinned.
He loved the fervent cheers of the Goblin underlings.
Under their fervent gaze, Li ng felt a very strong sensation.
It was as if so power within him was awakening.
And that power was gradually making him stronger.
Amidst the attention of the crowd, Li ng rode the giant swamp crocodile king ashore.
The Goblins on the shore looked in awe at Yue'e, who resembled a mountain of flesh.
Though they shouted fervently.
Their instincts drove them to step back repeatedly.
Li ng stood up from Yue'e's back.
He raised the Big Iron Rod high with his right hand.
"Ha ha ha!"
Li ng burst into loud laughter.
His booming laughter echoed across the island.
The Goblins' shouts imdiately changed.
All the Goblins began laughing "ha ha ha" loudly.
"Ha ha ha!"
The Goblins on the shore surrounded Yue'e, laughing wildly.
Their laughter was so joyful, with a hint of madness.
So Goblins were so amused they rolled on the ground.
Others clutched their bellies, laughing heartily.
Yue'e, looking at the small Goblins around, had a trace of confusion in its eyes.
It didn't understand what these Goblins were doing.
The Lizardn not far away silently watched and listened.
The size of the crocodile on the shore confird the identity of the swamp crocodile king.
After a while, the laughter on the north shore of the island subsided.
Li ng leaped off Yue'e, landing steadily on the ground.
He patted Yue'e's massive forelimb.
"Yue'e, go play nearby. The Goblins and Lizardn are my underlings, don't harm them!"
Yue'e's enormous eyes glanced at its boss beside it.
Then it turned its massive body and slowly crawled into the water.
"Boss, you're amazing!"
Seeing the big crocodile leave, Gobu Zhang quickly ran forward.
But Gobu Sheng was even faster.
Gobu Sheng slid to his knees, bowing at Li ng's feet.
He kissed the top of Li ng's foot with a fawning expression.
"Boss, you're so strong, I'm about to explode!"
As he spoke, Gobu Sheng's body suddenly shivered.
Li ng, speechless, kicked Gobu Sheng over.
"Alright, get to work!"
The kicked-over Goblin scrambled away.
The surrounding Goblins also dispersed in a hurry.
And so, the once noisy island beca relatively quiet.
In the following days, everything in the Northern swamp remained as usual.
The construction of the wooden fortress proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Every day, noticeable changes occurred on the island.
The wooden walls surrounding the island grew visibly.
Ti passed bit by bit, day by day.
Another new day dawned, with the sun shining brightly over the Northern swamp.
In the forest on the eastern shore of the Northern swamp.
A large area of trees near the shore had been felled.
Many Lizardn and Goblins were working in the forest.
Though the two races couldn't communicate verbally.
Their long-term cooperation had fostered a sense of understanding.
Goblins excelled at chopping, so they handled the logging work.
Lizardn, with their strong arms, managed the sawing work.
Processing the fallen trees into logs.
"Gray Scale, have you found out anything?"
In a ssy clearing, Gray Scale and Black Scale were sawing wood.
The saw made a "panting" sound as they pulled it back and forth.
Gray Scale glanced at the western swamp and shook his head.
"The Goblins won't let us leave here, we can't get any news from outside."
Black Scale's face darkened, remaining silent.
It had been almost a month, and even a fool could sense sothing was wrong.
So much wood was being transported to the depths of the swamp.
The Goblins were definitely up to sothing secretive.
"Endure it, the rotation period is almost here!"
Gray Scale's reassurance made Black Scale take a deep breath.
Yes, the rotation period was almost here.
By then, they would be free.
Once they returned to the tribe, things would be much easier.
"Black Scale, do you think the Black Mountain tribe will co?"
Gray Scale's expression was complicated.
He hoped the Black Mountain tribe would send an army to support the Northern swamp.
Yet he also didn't want the Black Mountain tribe to appear.
The Goblins in the forest were simply too powerful.
If they failed, there would be no space for Lizardn to survive in the Goblin Forest.
"They will co, they definitely will."
Black Scale was certain about the arrival of the Black Mountain tribe.
------
Goblin Forest.
Northern swamp, wooden fortress.
Ti flew by, and two months passed quietly.
Two months of construction had made the island in the swamp disappear.
In its place stood a massive wooden fortress.
The wooden fortress stretched about nine hundred ters north to south.
And about seven hundred ters east to west.
A nearly seven-ter-high wooden wall stood in the swamp.
Fifteen-ter-high watchtowers dotted the wooden wall.
A watchtower stood every fifty ters.
Looking at the wooden wall, one could see many Goblins standing guard and patrolling.
Though the watchtowers were currently empty.
It wouldn't be long before a three-bow ballista was placed on them.
Another new day dawned, with the sun shining brightly over the Northern swamp.
On the watchtower of the wooden wall on the northern shore of the wooden fortress.
"Gobu Yi hasn't returned yet?"
Standing on the watchtower, Li ng gazed at the space within the wooden fortress.
After two months of construction, the wooden fortress was 80% complete.
Looking inside the fortress, various wooden houses stood.
There were dwellings, places to live.
There were warehouses, places to store miscellaneous items.
To facilitate water access, two canals were dug within the fortress.
Due to the humid air of the swamp, Goblins disliked such an environnt.
After this event, the wooden fortress wouldn't house a large military presence.
Only a small number of Goblins would be stationed there.
"Boss, Gobu Yi hasn't returned yet!"
Gobu Sheng responded to the boss, glancing southward at the swamp.
Gobu Sheng and Gobu Zhang stood behind Li ng.
Five days ago, Li ng had sent Gobu Yi to the White Scale tribe.
Since the White Scale tribe only had won and children left.
Li ng wasn't in a hurry to bring the Lizardn from the White Scale tribe over.
Li ng turned to look at the southern swamp, deep in thought.
The three-bow ballista was on its way, arriving in half a month.
The Black Mountain tribe's army would take at least two to three months to arrive.
The timing was still sufficient, no need to rush.
The future predicted by the simulated life didn't have ti information.
But the Black Mountain tribe's arrival in the Northern swamp was after the rotation period.
The timing could roughly be estimated.
