Xiao Yu did not dare to wander around anymore. It was not even safe to stay in the camp. Although he had some goblins to fight with him, most of them were weak Goblin Slaves. If too many players rushed in, Xiao Yu could not do anything at all.
It was fortunate that he had trained some Goblin Scouts beforehand. Time to deploy them onto the Watch Tower.
"Close the gate! Goblin Scouts, go to the Watch Tower and be on your guard!" Xiao Yu commanded and rushed the newly trained Goblin Scouts onto the tower.
The Watch Tower could increase attack range. Xiao Yu was relieved to see all four Watch Towers occupied by Scouts.
He stood on the wall and looked outside. After some time, the team of players appeared. Seeing that the Goblins' Camp was heavily guarded, they did not dare to force their way in. They hunted the Goblins that were alone outside and waited till night before leaving.
Xiao Yu did not plan to go out even though the players had left. The beasts around would have a buff at night, so Night Whisper Forest was a dangerous place for Goblins at night. The good thing was that Xiao Yu already had enough resources.
The camp became very busy for the rest of the day. A large number of Goblin Warriors and Goblin Scouts were being trained.
The Goblin Slaves had gathered a large amount of Wood and Food in the morning, and that was what Xiao Yu badly needed.
Wood was used for building Goblin's Basha, and Xiao Yu built 10 more. The camp's maximum population was raised to 200. That was the best they could do so far.
Food was used for recruiting the small Goblins. He recruited 60 of them and trained them into Goblin Scouts and Goblin Warriors. It took him half an hour to train one. In the entire morning, he only managed to train about 10 of them. In a whole day, including night, he could train at most 20 of them. He would need three days to train all of them.
Looking at the Goblin Scouts and Goblin Warriors picking up their simple weapons, Xiao Yu felt very assured.
He waited for another two hours, until 9 PM, when the two Goblins sent to deliver the message returned.
Eric (Goblin Flame Warlock) asked, "Have you delivered the message? Where is the other one?"
The Goblin Messenger replied, "Chief, we sent the letter to Blake Rhode and Golden Tooth. The one responsible for Hogg is not back yet. He was probably eaten by the beasts."
"Send the letter again. Make sure the letter is delivered. You two will go together this time," Xiao Yu ordered. He showed no mercy and disregarded how tired they were.
Goblins were born to follow orders. They replied, "Yes, Chief! It shall be done." The two of them went on the journey again.
It was just a small episode, and Xiao Yu did not take it to heart.
Looking around, the camp was looking good. Goblin Slaves were collecting resources and Goblin Trainers were training soldiers. Xiao Yu was not concerned about how strong these soldiers were. An Adventurer at the same level could fight two or three goblins at the same time. Some with better equipment could even fight up to five of them. He was hoping that his Campfire could attract stronger monsters. Looking at the time, Xiao Yu decided to continue tomorrow.
The next morning, Xiao Yu rushed to the Campfire as soon as he entered the game.
He was stunned when he arrived. There was a giant, blue-skinned Ogre sitting beside the Campfire, chewing on something.
F*ck! It was the dead body of the Goblin Chef! Half of it was already in the Ogre's stomach. The scene was really gross.
Xiao Yu had met the Goblin Chef some time back. He was the one that had taught Xiao Yu how to use Bonfire. He had managed to hide in a bunch of firewood when Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser was raiding the camp. Seemed like he could not escape his fate.
The blue Ogre sensed Xiao Yu and looked at him.
Grubb (Ogre Mage) said, "Morning, shorty. I'm Grubb, an Ogre. You have a lot of good food here. I heard that you are recruiting. I'm interested in joining as long as you provide me with food like this. Any more of it?"
The Ogre said, then he started scanning around and stared at Xiao Yu in the end as though he was a delicious meal.
System prompt message: Your Campfire has attracted an Ogre Mage. Do you want to recruit them?
Xiao Yu checked the info of this Ogre Mage
[Monster Name: Grubb (Ogre Mage)]
[Monster Category: Ogre (Big size Human-type creature)]
[Monster Rank: Level 13 Rare Elite]
[Monster Skills: Bloodlust (Gives a target a bloodlust buff. Increases attack speed and movement speed by 30% for 45 seconds.)]
[Monster Skills: Heavy Strike (A heavy attack that deals twice the damage.)]
[Recruit Price: 500 Food, 5 Population]
[Maintenance Price: 350 Food]
[Note: A strong Ogre Warrior with talent in magic. He has a very good appetite and is not picky with his food.]
[Note: DO NOT speak to him while standing on his utensil.]
Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched. It seemed that the Ogre was very strong, especially his Bloodlust skill. It could greatly improve the fighting power of the army. The only problem was that he was too strong. Although he was only a Rare Elite, the Ogre had high stats. He was big and muscular. He could fight in close combat and cast spells. His combat ability was not weaker than Xiao Yu's. Furthermore, the Ogre would not be reasonable when he was hungry. He had even eaten the chef. Xiao Yu did not wish to be next.
It was not rare for wandering monsters to kill the Monster Force's leader and take control of it. As the Chief Goblin, Xiao Yu could rest assured that his Goblins would not turn against him. The trio he had recruited yesterday were just Normal Monsters, so he had nothing to worry about with them. This Ogre was a Rare Elite with a high level and high combat power. He was definitely going to be a threat.
Xiao Yu smirked and turned around.
"Everyone! Prepare for a fight!" Xiao Yu shouted at the Goblin's Bashas. All the goblins ran out with weapons on their hands, not knowing what had happened.
"What are you idiots doing!? The enemy is in the camp and you guys do not know? Look! He ate our chef! Warriors, stand in front. Archers, stay at the back. Listen to my commands!"
The Goblins quickly scrambled into their positions. The formation was horrible, but at least the melees were in front and the ranged attackers at the back.
The Ogre Grubb did not know what was happening and stared at the Goblins with a puzzled look.
