I, the Goblin Emperor, Rule the World - EP.43
Tonight, the night was dark and the stars were sparse. For the goblins, it was a good day because their tribe was growing rapidly.
But for Mia, a member of the royal family, tonight was destined to be a tormenting night.
The voices she heard today kept lingering in her mind.
The Dia Kingdom, bordering the Strange Mist Forest, was a powerful nation with numerous renowned figures and plenty of Gold-tier experts within its borders.
As a remarkable warrior duchy subordinate to the Dia Kingdom, the Marlon Marquisate possessed excellent warrior genes. After befriending the fierce tribe with excellent bloodlines, Marlon Marquis gave up his original love and married several women with the bloodline of the fierce tribe.
Everything was for the sake of bearing powerful offspring.
Finally, on that day, a baby with excellent lineage was born in Marlon Marquis’s mansion.
She stumbled and fell, already running while others were still learning to walk. While others couldn’t handle a wooden sword, she wielded an iron sword, shouting and killing. While others were entering the academy to awaken their professions, she, as one of the representatives of the new generation of intermediate berserkers in the Kingdom Warrior Academy, stepped into the campus.
Yes, she was Mia of Marlon, a combat genius, a sixteen-year-old intermediate berserker!
A genius should not be locked in such a dark and crude dungeon, especially not by those filthy and lowly goblins!
In her consciousness, goblins weren’t even worthy of licking her shoes. They should be kneeling on the ground, begging for their lives!
She shouldn’t be treated like this!
As the Marlon Marquis’s precious pearl, unlike Andayal, who had been frail and sickly since childhood, Mia had never suffered.
“Let me out!”
The girl stood in front of the cell door, stubbornly kicking it.
Suddenly, the cell door emitted a trembling sound. The door that could confine others became fragile in the face of her, as if a few more kicks from the girl would make it collapse.
The girl looked at the damaged cell door, feeling as if the cage had suddenly been opened, while two huskies facing each other turned their heads as if nothing had happened.
She returned to her bed, curling up.
Well, everyone knows that just because the cell door loosened doesn’t mean she could escape. It was fortunate that no goblins were coming for her now, but if she dared to escape, it would be a different story.
Outside were various kinds of goblins.
If she really dared to escape, being surrounded by a large group of goblins halfway through, she didn’t dare to think about what they would do to her after catching her.
Just thinking about the grotesque bodies of some green-skinned goblins, the bloated and disgusting appearance of the white goblin, the old-man-like faces of the purple demon goblins, and the robust bodies of the red devil goblins, she instinctively felt afraid.
She couldn’t bear it. She was only sixteen years old. How could she withstand such things?
Father, grandfather, mother, when will you come to rescue me?
Lord Andayal had already been defiled by them. After being defiled by that elf, it seemed that she was also taken away and defiled by other goblins, and she still hadn’t returned.
If Lord Andayal, with such a delicate body, was treated like that, with my body being so good, wouldn’t I be defiled by those goblins every day…?
Maybe I wouldn’t even know which goblin the baby I’m carrying belongs to.
As Mia thought about it, she almost cried.
It’s too scary.
“No, no, I’m a genius, I won’t fall into the hands of mere goblins!”
Mia stood up, went to the cell door, and punched it. She must escape. She didn’t want to be defiled by that elf and those ugly goblins.
However, poor girl, as soon as her fist landed, a figure appeared outside the cell door.
The girl who wanted to escape was discovered.
“Are you planning to escape?”
“So what if I am?”
Seeing that it was an elf who didn’t look strong at all, Mia didn’t associate him with a strong individual at all.
It turned out that Miss Mia couldn’t yet judge the strength of the enemy through their aura, unaware of the greatness of the Goblin Emperor in front of her.
“You stinky elf, looking so weak, but acting so tough among the goblins, you’re really useless.”
Seeing that no goblins appeared, Mia felt that an opportunity had arisen!
Beat up this elf who had defiled Lord Andayal for so long, use him to threaten those goblins, and maybe she could leave here and escape.
Yes, it must be possible. She was the savior when the sky fell!
Brave Mia wasn’t afraid of the fragile elf!
Suddenly, the cell door opened, and there was no barrier between the two.
“You really dare, huh!”
The opportunity had come!
Mia immediately rushed forward, throwing punches with both hands, hitting the Goblin Emperor who had come to feast on his prey.
There was a considerable height difference between Mia and the Goblin Emperor because she was relatively petite, even smaller than Lila.
Her fists landed on the Goblin Emperor, and she even deliberately aimed at a vital part of the Goblin Emperor to avenge Lord Andayal.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After several punches, finally, the small pink fists stopped on the vital part of the Goblin Emperor. Without the special fist armor, her soft fists were like several steamed buns hitting a rock.
The Goblin Emperor looked down on the girl in front of him with a calm expression.
Mia slowly withdrew her fists, still maintaining her momentum and expression as she slowly retreated until she touched the bed behind her.
“You… you useless stinky elf!” she shouted defiantly.
This world never lacked heroes. There were always small females who dared to face the strength of powerful males.
The next morning.
Chen Le stretched lazily, got out of bed, stepping on the shattered clothes of the girl on the ground without paying attention, casually put on his own clothes, and stepped out of the cell.
Today was another new day.
The protection from the prodigy of the Berserk Tribe should have been stolen by now.
Chen Le already knew where the heritable protection on Mia came from, from a prodigy protected by the Berserk Tribe who had just been born. This meant that the protection would last for a long time, and its effects would become even stronger.
Without the Berserk Tribe’s knowledge, stealing the protection from someone else’s family and giving it to the goblins, and protecting that prodigy to enhance the effect of the protection didn’t need the goblins to do it themselves. It was truly a gain for the goblins.
Entering the hall on the floor above the goblin harem, Chen Le was quite satisfied.
The current harem of the Goblin Emperor:
Lila: 7 days (Fifth pregnancy) Hope value: 48
Naga: 7 days (Third pregnancy) Hope value: 49
Cas O’Bleu: 2 days (Fourth pregnancy) Hope value: 48
Tarian: 6 days (Second pregnancy) Hope value: 50
Dumilan: Resting after childbirth (First pregnancy completed) Hope value: 41
Andayal: 7 days (First pregnancy) Hope value: 38
Mia (Idle) Hope value: 36
Hmm?
Chen Le looked at the “Idle” status, pondering.
Did this girl not get pregnant last night either? Well, I’ll try again today.
In the hall, several purple demon goblins who went out at night returned, while those who worked during the day went out. Anruth, with the power bestowed by Chen Le, had extended his lifespan, but he still couldn’t shake off his habit of dozing off. The cubs who hadn’t grown up were also active on this floor.
Anruth’s previous students, as well as some mother green-skinned goblins, would also appear on this floor.
The floor above was the workshop and storage area of the red devil goblins, where the Goblin Artisan Kazuh researched the manufacturing techniques of goblin weapons.
Further up was the living space of the white goblins and elite green-skinned goblins.
On the topmost floor, the first floor, was the place where all goblins could enter and exit.
As for the bottommost floor, the harem floor, no goblin would approach without the emperor’s permission, including the cubs.
Of course, the goblin underground dwelling was currently sufficient, but it would be difficult to accommodate more goblins in the future. It would require the construction of new goblin underground dwellings or the erection of above-ground structures.
However, the goblins had no experience in building above ground, and neither did Chen Le, as he was not an architect in his previous life.
Above-ground structures hardly provided any protection against the onslaught of the hegemonic forces.
But various facilities that could better accommodate the goblins’ activities were still needed. At the very least, there should be buildings such as training grounds and ordinary goblin living areas, which would allow the goblins underground to spread out more and increase the living space for each goblin.
The Misty Tiger and Lord Andayal’s father were unlikely to appear in the short term, so this time must be seized to accelerate development.
The good news was that some crops were almost ready for harvest.
The high-quality fertilizer produced by the advanced goblins every day accelerated the growth of these crops. This was something Chen Le had forgotten before, but Anruth and the others hadn’t.
In fact, the excrement expelled by most powerful individuals contained more magical elements, which helped promote crop growth and enhance their effects.
When they had nothing to do, Anruth and the other purple demon goblins would gather together to study how to use the emperor’s excrement and urine to cultivate enhanced crops for the benefit of the entire tribe.
Training the wolf pack was left to the red devil goblins, who integrated and trained the goblins’ combat abilities. With elite goblins leading the way, this process became much easier.
Military training, weapons, food, population replenishment, and living space—the five most important aspects—currently had the most basic guarantees, but they were still far from being optimal for a small, fledgling tribe.
None of the five aspects had reached a high-quality level. Among them, Chen Le was most worried about the weapons. It was clear that relying solely on Kazuh, the goblin artisan, was not enough.
Even with other goblins assisting, almost all goblins needed accompanying weapons. Self-made weapons made from wood were clearly insufficient.
There was a need to increase the number of new red devil goblin artisan apprentices.
At the same time, most importantly, there was no ore!
To make weapons, materials were needed, and the metals in the underground ores were the most abundant and suitable materials.
Currently, the better weapons were either stolen and modified from humans, or made from the bones of ferocious beasts. However, the goblins’ arsenal was clearly insufficient to face a human army clad in full iron armor.
Moreover, in this world, magic acted like water, greatly weakening the effects of physical explosions but strengthening the hardness of items. Trying to resist with gunpowder made from some vague memories of the previous life was also meaningless.
In this world, magic was abundant and inexhaustible, only consuming stamina, but gunpowder and the like were tangible resource consumables. Without resources, they couldn’t even form a fighting force, let alone fight at a disadvantage.
The most pressing issue at the moment was to produce weapons imbued with more magic.
Exploring mines, mining, was imperative at this point.
But in fact, Chen Le didn’t understand any of these. So what should he do?
The solution returned to the original one: to breed goblins capable of solving the problem.
More purple demon goblin scholars, red devil goblin artisans, and green-skinned goblin miners are needed!
Chen Le pondered, his gaze falling on a beautiful figure who had walked into this layer of the harem.
It was a woman with coiled long hair, like a newlywed, Mrs. Dumilan, with charm and grace that made her irresistible.
At this moment, Tarian had not yet awakened, so Mrs. Dumilan came out to get some fresh air herself.
Seeing Mrs. Dumilan, Chen Le waved his hand.
After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Dumilan came to Chen Le’s side and was embraced in his arms.
As the beauty nestled in his arms, the Goblin Emperor smelled the feminine scent emanating from Mrs. Dumilan, his mind suddenly becoming much clearer, and he began to think again.
Suddenly, Chen Le, with a beauty in his arms, waved to the children.
“Kids, come here.”
There were elite goblin cubs here who had not yet lived for more than seven days: four red devil goblins, three white ghosts, two purple demon goblins, and eighteen green-skinned goblins, along with one green-skinned hero.
Here were also elite goblins and the high-quality cubs born to mother goblins, totaling more than fifty.
Among the cubs, the white ghost goblin cubs were the tallest among the short ones, followed by the red devils, then the green-skinned goblins, and finally the purple demon goblins.
In front of the children, Chen Le, with a radiant Mrs. Dumilan in his arms, kissed her rosy cheek, then proceeded to assign professions to the cubs.
“Jaguar Four, you’ll be an artisan. You three big guys will remain as giant warriors.”
Currently, neither defense nor vitality has seen a significant increase. Whether as tank soldiers or rolling-ball soldiers, they are not as good as giant warriors, who rely most on attack power, making them the best choice for white ghost goblins at the moment.
“As for you two little ones, you’ll be commanders. The wolf pack still needs someone to manage it. As for the children that Andayal will give birth to later, they’re more suitable as scholars, to follow Anruth.”
“As for you two…”
