Chapter 214: Change of Plans, Prepare to Attack Granville Monster Forest!

With his subordinate goblins and the severely wounded Big Goblin buying time, Luo Yong fled the Goblin Tribe in terror, eventually finding refuge in a concealed thicket far from the settlement.

After an indeterminate period, the pursuing Goblin Warriors and their hunting party finally abandoned the chase. Only ten injured goblins remained in his retinue. The original Big Goblin had been slain immediately by the two Goblin Warriors’ spear thrusts during the initial confrontation. All his hard-earned stat improvements had evaporated, resetting to their base levels.

Keeping his diminished force near the tribe’s periphery, Luo Yong established a temporary camp. He took morbid comfort in discovering three or four female goblins among the survivors. His "Unique Skill – Goblin King" amplified his carnal urges beyond normal goblin limits, compelling him to spend nearly half each day satiating this relentless drive. Previously, he’d casually disposed of "spent" female goblins after use. Now eyeing his limited stock, he resolved to conserve these remaining mates.

For his next strategy:

The Goblin Tribe daily dispatched hunting parties to gather Goblin grass and game. Luo Yong began systematically ambushing these isolated groups. After sustaining casualties during initial skirmishes, he successfully subjugated his first Big Goblin. Once this lieutenant recovered and their numbers grew through further raids, they overwhelmed a second Big Goblin with reduced losses thanks to their enhanced forces.

Then came an unexpected development –

One of the impregnated female goblins delivered Luo Yong’s offspring. Despite his revulsion, he inexplicably spared the expectant mother rather than executing her as intended. The gestation period proved alarmingly brief; within three days, the birth yielded… another Big Goblin. Luo Yong sensed the same psychic bond with this newborn as with his dominated subjects. Subsequent births only produced ordinary goblins, yet Luo Yong believed his unique influence enabled that first exceptional spawn.

Considering the entire Goblin Tribe’s population exceeded a thousand with merely a dozen Big Goblins, two Goblin Warriors, and their Goblin King – a less than 1% elite ratio despite constant breeding – his single successful production in limited attempts seemed miraculous. This revelation made him more cautious about fatally rough treatment during mating.

When his forces finally reached critical mass, Luo Yong launched his assault on the original Goblin Tribe. Though reborn as a goblin, his strategic cunning far surpassed the primitive intellect of his kin.

Initially, Luo Yong didn’t order all goblins to attack simultaneously. Instead, he infiltrated the Goblin Tribe with a small contingent of Big Goblins and regular goblins, subjugating members through combat until the Goblin King detected their presence and forced their retreat.

When the two Goblin Warriors dispatched by the Goblin King pursued them with a horde, Luo Yong finally mobilized his entire force to encircle the attackers. After losing several goblins and three Big Goblins, they successfully subdued both Goblin Warriors and their contingent.

Following the warriors’ recovery, Luo Yong’s forces – now outnumbering the original tribe – launched a comeback. The Goblin Tribe fell inevitably, with even the chastised Goblin King eventually submitting.

After consolidating control, expansion accelerated dramatically. Under Luo Yong’s iron command, the lazy cannibalistic goblins began suicidal territorial expansions. Their rapid reproduction offset population concerns.

The initial target became their native hilly woodlands. Wild boars, gray wolves, fang-apes, and gulper toads – countless monsters fell to goblin swarms. When local resources dwindled, they pushed into adjacent forests and hills. Through years of perilous battles against monsters, surviving lethal encounters…

Three years later, Luo Yong finally turned his gaze toward a human settlement – a small village. This probe aimed to test nearby towns’ defenses through tribal occupation.

…

…

Present time.

A Goblin Tribe’s destruction registered through diminished panel attributes. "Failure!" Luo Yong spat. "Worthless vermin. Though villagers proved weak, did town armies and adventurers counterattack? Or did reincarnators interfere? Premature still?"

The muscular green goblin rose from his leaf-strewn bed. "Grrba…" A voice greeted as a nude female goblin pressed against him. Less hideous than others, her vaguely humanoid features remained plain.

Desire overwhelmed Luo Yong. Roaring, he pinned the creature beneath him. Unrestrained panting echoed through the cavern, soon joined by a dozen other semi-humanoid females. After cycling through multiple partners, his cooled mind rebelled at their proximity – only the first female’s appearance bordered on tolerable.

Longevity posed issues – excessive vigor had killed his first barely-acceptable mate three years prior. The current favorite now twitched brokenly on bedding. Human women seized from villages fared worse, perishing within hours under his brutish frame. Disappointing… yet goblin females remained his only option.

Refocusing: if human towns remained beyond reach, only the forest remained. Luo Yong’s eyes narrowed. Granville Monster Forest – rumored deadly even in periphery zones with long-tusked ursine horrors. But with a dozen tribes’ combined strength…

"No!" He snarled. "Were it not for that meddling Inukami’s raids, we’d have claimed those woods already!"
