"It seems everyone's panel attributes have improved quite a bit."
Having all his maids stand before him, Niu Zida carefully checked each one's attributes. It seemed that everyone's abilities had improved. The only pity was that there were only four elite goblins, and they still had to rely on a large number of ordinary goblins to manage the city's defenses.
These goblins are loyal enough, but their physical strength and intelligence are still issues. This is why Niu Zida has never allowed goblins to patrol the city. He doesn't know what kind of trouble these goblins will cause. Of course, part of the reason is that having human security forces patrol every day would make the people in the territory feel more at ease. After all, people don't like to leave familiar scenes, even if they are fictional, because they are better than the bloody reality.
We have now reached the 10th day of the Continental Calendar.
Chapter 68
At the end of February in 1946, the weather had begun to warm up and even rained. Spring rain is as precious as oil, and the farmers in the surrounding territories gradually began to prepare for sowing. Niu Zida also went to see the refugee villages he had recruited. They had been building houses, planning farmland, and building drainage ditches. Although he had sent criminal laborers, the number was still too small and there was a shortage of manpower.
"We can't delay spring planting, so let's bring some goblins over."
Niu Zida attached great importance to the construction of the refugee village. After all, these were the first wave of refugees recruited, and they had to set a good example. Seeing that the construction progress could not keep up with the spring planting, Niu Zida simply waved his hand and let his goblins participate in the construction. He also used government funds to hire laborers in the city to participate in the reclamation of farmland outside the city.
"Master, if we do this, the territory's treasury will be almost empty."
“If you develop your territory well, a lot of tax revenue will naturally come in. If your territory is desolate, where will the money come from? This is an investment in your territory.”
Seeing Amelie's reluctant expression, Niu Zida pinched her large breasts and said with a smile:
"Don't just focus on draining the pond to catch all the fish; you also need to take care of the people's livelihood. Only when the people are prosperous will your wealth increase."
"The master doesn't seem like a goblin, but rather like an old scholar who governs a country."
Amelie hugged Niu Zida and softly complained, then smiled and lowered her body, opening her red and tender mouth to take him in and swallow...
While helping to build up the refugee villages, Niu Zida also kept sending people to some border villages that he had visited before that were unwilling to submit, telling them that if they encountered any danger, they could ask the territory for help, and that the Duolei territory was still willing to protect them. Although the surrounding refugees were still skeptical of Niu Zida, this move at least won them a lot of goodwill. Everyone felt that the current Baroness Dona's era was much better than before in terms of the attitude towards the people, and the refugees were no longer simply regarded as self-destructive refugee savages.
In order to harvest as soon as possible, the first batch of crops planted was mainly oats. After all, most of the land allocated to the refugees was not very good land, but rather gentle slopes and mountainous areas. It was precisely because of the poor quality of these lands that they were most likely to be abandoned and thus made available for distribution to the refugees.
In addition to oats, corn, potatoes, and cabbage were also planted. The construction of the refugee village was progressing smoothly, and Niu Zida was very confident that he could make this village a model of development. If the refugee village could succeed, construction could be expanded throughout the directly controlled territory, and more refugees could be recruited into the territory to make up for the labor shortage.
About half a month passed, and while Niu Zida was still focusing on the construction within his territory, he suddenly received a request for help. A village that had previously refused Niu Zida's recruitment of pioneers had been attacked by a barbarian tribe, and they hoped that the lord could help them.
What are barbarians?
"It's a general term for demi-human tribes like orcs, goblins, and elves. If the composition is relatively homogeneous, they are called orc tribes, goblin tribes, or goblin tribes. But if they are mixed, they are called barbarian tribes. Sometimes, these barbarian tribes may even have humans mixed in with them."
After hearing Amelie's explanation, Niu Zida finally understood and said to the person who had come to ask for help:
"Don't worry, I will bring people to help you. As I said, even if we don't enter the lord's directly controlled territory, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Dore Territory, and the lord will still protect them."
The people who came were originally desperate and only remembered what Niu Zida had said, so they decided to try their luck. Unexpectedly, the Dorei territory really sent troops, so they quickly knelt down and thanked him profusely.
Chapter Sixty-Six: Shizuku Misato and the Swing
Chapter Sixty-Six.
"Master, are you really going to get involved with those savages?"
"Since we've made a promise, of course we have to take care of it. Besides, this is a good opportunity to establish our authority and win over the hearts of these pioneers."
After seeing off the person who had asked for help, Niu Zida pinched Amelie's big breast and said with a smile, "At this time, Amelie, Seritina and Joel are all pregnant. Misato Shizuku just served the emperor last night, and Aponia will give birth tonight."
"We'll set off once Shizuku Misato gives birth. This time, Joel and Seritina will come with me. Amelie and you, Aponia, can stay in the city and manage the territory properly. Besides, Dona is still young, so Amelie should take better care of the child in the territory."
"What about tonight, Master?"
"Let Misato Shizuku continue to serve you tonight."
Finally, after a long time, she could serve the emperor in bed continuously. Although Misato Shizuku was quite happy, she still put on a reluctant expression. Even after dinner, when she carried Ushiko-ta back to the inner room, she deliberately feigned displeasure and said:
"Why didn't Master go out and play with the other maids tonight?"
"Everyone's pregnant, right?"
"So you only contacted me tonight, is that right?"
"Shizuku Misato, look at you, you're jealous again. I only came to see you tonight because I had something fun to tell you. Other people wouldn't be suitable."
"He's probably up to some bad idea again, isn't he?"
"No, I just had someone make a fun toy. I was planning to play with it with you later, but now that we're about to send out troops, I can only reveal the mystery today."
As the two chatted, Misato Shizuku carried Niu Zida into the inner room. She had come to serve him a few days ago, and there was no change. The biggest difference was that there was a swing in the middle of the inner room.
"Is this the new thing you made, you idiot master?"
"Yes
Chapter 69
"Ah, Shizuku Misato, don't you want to come up and sit for a while?"
"I do not want."
Having already guessed what kind of bad idea Niu Zida was up to, Misato Shizuku rolled her eyes at him and clearly refused. However, since she was Niu Zida's maid, she couldn't fundamentally refuse her master's orders. She could only straighten her JK skirt, hug Niu Zida, and sit on the swing.
"How was it? Was the swing fun?"
Ushiko Tatsuya wrapped his legs around Misato Shizuku's slender waist, kissing her as he asked, to which Misato Shizuku coldly replied:
"It's alright, can we go down now that we're done playing?"
"Of course not, Shizuku Misato, take apart your black stockings."
As expected, this pervert was up to no good. With a disdainful look in her eyes, Misato Shizuku sat on the swing, parted her black stockings, and assumed a position that would make it easier for Niu Zida to enter.
"I love your black stockings, Shizuku Misato the most. They're so straight and slender, and the way they hug your legs is so cute, hehehehe..."
"Master, please don't laugh like that and drool. It's disgusting."
"I was praising Shizuku Misato's body."
"I really can't be happy to be praised like that... Oh... Be gentle..."
With her delicate eyebrows furrowed, Shizuku Misato began to grasp the ropes beside the swing with her snow-white, soft hands. Using her flat, toned abdomen to propel the swing slightly, she also helped Niu Zida to relax. When Shizuku Misato's abdomen met hers, Niu Zida would then exert his strength.
Inside the bedroom, the sound of their conversation was gradually replaced by the frantic, rapid breathing of Shizuku Misato on the swing...
A tall, slender, long-haired black girl swayed back and forth on a swing, holding a short goblin in her arms. She parted her black stockings to let the goblin sit on her lap, seemingly lost in the swing...
A long time passed before the fierce battle inside the room gradually subsided...
"Shizuku Misato, your face is blushing really badly."
"It's just too hot."
"Isn't it because it's very comfortable that you're doing this?"
Misato Shizuku rolled her eyes at Niu Zida, remaining silent in the bathtub. She simply scooped up hot water and poured it over Niu Zida's head, causing him to scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Misato Shizuku, you're murdering your husband!"
"My master is my master, not my husband. Please don't try to get close to me."
Unexpectedly, Shizuku Misato flatly denied his act of calling himself "wife." This proud and beautiful girl's interest is really awkward, Niu Zida thought to himself with a wry smile.
A few days later, Joel, Seritina, Aponia, Misato Shizuku, and Amelie all gave birth. According to the original plan, Niu Zida took Joel, Seritina, and Misato Shizuku out, while leaving Aponia and Amelie behind. Of course, before leaving, Niu Zida got Amelie pregnant but didn't let Aponia get pregnant, naturally to avoid any accidents in the territory that might happen when Aponia was about to give birth and there would be no one to deal with them.
The territory now has 400 goblins, but many are still in their developmental stage. Since they were all recently born, Niu Zida brought three mature elite goblins with him this time. The newly born elite goblins were left in the city, along with 200 ordinary goblins. No human guards were deployed this time; they were all kept on patrol within the city.
Now that the number of goblins has increased considerably, under Niu Zida's orders, the goblins are building another rammed earth wall around the city gate to serve as a barbican. The goblins don't know how to build this, so they have to let two knights who command the human troops direct their construction. Before leaving, Niu Zida assigned this task, and the barbican should be completed by the time he returns.
"If you're so worried about the city's defenses, why don't you stay here and wait for the barbican to be repaired before setting off?"
“That won’t do. This time, the pioneers’ village took the initiative to contact me. If I don’t show that I will send troops to help immediately, no one will trust me in the future.”
Seeing that Niu Zida was still worried about the city's defenses before leaving, Shizuku couldn't help but offer some advice. Niu Zida and Yol responded while kissing. Because what he said made so much sense, Shizuku didn't know how to reply. She was just annoyed that Niu Zida was being intimate with another woman in front of her, so she could only give a cold snort and remain silent.
The village that had called for help was even more remote than the previous village of Aponia. Fortunately, the person who called for help led the way, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to find it. The journey took a whole day. By the time Niu Zida arrived, four or five days had passed since the call for help. Fortunately, nothing much had changed in those few days. The village seemed to be inhabited and hadn't been completely captured.
When Niu Zida arrived at the village with his goblin army, the villagers were startled. No one dared to come out, thinking that the goblins had come to rob them as well. In the end, it was only after someone who had gone to the territory to seek help went door to door and told them that these were reinforcements from the territory of Dorei that a few old men came out to make contact with them, though they were still somewhat skeptical.
Chapter Sixty-Seven Rescue
Chapter Sixty-Seven.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help this village, I won't harm you."
"But with so many goblins???"
It seems the old men in the villages still don't quite trust Niu Zida's goblin army. This is understandable; goblins are generally perceived as cruel and cunning, only capable of abducting human women to reproduce—the most evil and despicable race, even more hated by humans than the mindless and brutal orcs. At least, if the honest orcs were truly conquered by force, they would be considered foolish.
Chapter 70
You think they will truly submit and not rebel, at least your military strength hasn't made the orcs feel weaker than before.
"Don't worry, I won't harm you. On the contrary, I've come here to rescue you."
"Yes, I went to the city and it's all safe there. They came here specifically to help us."
The person who went to ask for help also spoke up for Niu Zida. He had been treated well in Dorei City these past few days, and he was especially surprised to see that the goblins guarding the city walls did not harass the people. At first, he was surprised, but after seeing that it had been like this for many days, he finally believed Niu Zida's words.
Seeing that even one of their own was speaking up for them, the old men looked on with a mixture of belief and doubt. Niu Zida quickly chimed in, saying:
"Since this is the territory of the Dorrey, we naturally have to protect you. Now tell us what happened here, and who attacked you?"
“Our village was able to survive, except for the barren land. But recently, another demi-human village on the other side of the mountain attacked us, saying that we had encroached on their fields on the hillside and that we were not allowed to continue farming there in the spring. That was originally a place we cleared to grow corn. They just took advantage of their numbers to force us to take it away. Sigh, why are we always bullied wherever we go?”
Just as he had predicted, these settlers would inevitably be bullied by orcs, goblins, gnomes, or elves in the spring. This was why Niu Zida hadn't forced them to migrate in the winter. Rather than forcing them, it was better to wait until they were in danger and came to him for help. Otherwise, even if they were forced to migrate and their lives improved, they wouldn't thank him. Instead, they would resent him for forcing them to leave the settled village.
"Who are the people in the demi-human village?"
"That village is mainly inhabited by orcs and half-elves, and supposedly there are also humans. They used to live in peace, but ever since we developed the terraced fields on the hillside, there has been constant conflict between the two sides."
"Even in such remote places, people fight over farmland?"
"Sigh, I guess wherever there are people, there will be conflict. In this world where life is hard, it's never easy no matter where you go."
"If you'd like, you can go back to your territory and rent land. It's safer there, the land is more fertile, and it's close to the main city. You can go to the market and buy things that even the most remote fairies can't get."
"The taxes are too high. We started from Dorrey, and they even conscripted men to fight."
"Now that there's no war, and the tax rate has been announced, it's much lower than before. We can also get agricultural tools and seeds, and then use the harvest at the end of the year to pay off the debt. The first year is even interest-free."
"That sounds nice, but who knows if they'll still care when we get back? They'll just ask us for money again. These noble lords don't care if we live or die. They've done even worse things to us before. My son was taken away by them and never came back. And what's worse is that with less labor in the family, the taxes have actually become heavier!"
Unexpectedly, the topic easily shifted to complaining about the nobles. The old men didn't feel anything was out of place complaining about human nobles to a goblin. Perhaps their resentment ran too deep, or perhaps they simply didn't care.
Niu Zida didn't stop the old men from complaining, until the person asking for help couldn't take it anymore and started interrupting them:
“Old man Teva, you should say less. Our priority right now is to save the village. We still have people being held captive by them.”
"Yes, yes, look at me, I'm getting senile, I've forgotten why I came to see the lord."
