Author: Conquer people with virtue

Early the next morning, when the sky was still slightly bright, the entire territory began to move.

The breakfast provided in the big kitchen today was good, it was wheat paste with meat cubes added. After breakfast, Theos's servants rushed to the farm outside the valley in groups according to the production teams they had divided before.

As they left, it didn't take long for the lively Rum Valley to fall into tranquility again.

In the current territory, only some dwarfs and kobolds are still working diligently to mine and send them to the blast furnace.

Theos also woke up.

He was eager to know the yield of crops, so he was a little excited.

After sitting in the lord's hall for a while, with nothing to do, Theos planned to go to the mining area to have a look.

"Master." Bugo stepped forward to receive his lord.

He is currently in charge of the mining and smelting work in the territory, and has a large number of dwarf miners and later kobold miners who joined him.

"Have the mining workers rested at night?" Theos asked.

"Yes, they never delay in such matters."

In order to ensure the efficiency of ore mining, Theos implemented a "three shifts" working system in a very humane way to ensure that workers can have adequate rest.

"That's good. The miners' rest must be guaranteed." Theos said in an upright tone.

I wish there were no street lights in this world.

Accompanied by Bugo, Theos inspected the smelting blast furnace and the warehouse where the metal was stored.

After one year of Theos's "efforts", the territory's metal output was considerable.

In the warehouse, iron blocks two feet long and several inches thick are stacked neatly together, which is very spectacular and weighs more than a hundred tons.

"It's not enough..." Theos was not satisfied.

The output of more than one hundred tons is completely enough for a territory of several thousand people, enough to arm everyone to the teeth.

But if we still need to supply Theos with food, these are not enough.

"Speaking of which, if I use my breath to smelt iron... would it be faster?" An idea suddenly came to Theos's mind.

The flame breath of the golden dragon is extremely hot, enough to smelt most metals.

Just do it. The more Theos thought about it, the more he felt that this path was very feasible.

Just when Theos was about to go to "smelting iron" excitedly, there was a strange movement outside the warehouse. When he looked back, it turned out to be Robbie.

"Master!" Robbie gasped.

"Why are you back? Aren't you in charge of harvesting work on the farm?"

"Master... we, we were attacked by a group of jackals." Robbie tried his best to control his breathing and organize his words: "They robbed our food."

"What!?"

Theos was startled and furious. Is there really someone who dares to touch my things without opening his eyes?

In order to ensure the safety of agriculture, I specially stationed troops. How could something happen?

Theos could not help but complain about Valk in his heart. Logically speaking, it is impossible for ordinary gnolls to defeat well-equipped hobgoblins?

"I'll go take a look!"

This kind of year-old crop is the lifeblood of Theos. The behavior of the gnolls can be said to have touched Theos's back scale.

Ignoring Robbie and others on the ground, Theos revealed his true form and flew towards the farm outside the valley.

Eager in his heart, Theos accelerated with all his strength and soon arrived at the scene.

The ground was covered with half-harvested crops. The goblins, dwarfs and deer-bodied men who were originally working were now in the small stone castles nearby.

And Theos saw that at a road intersection in front of the farm, there were corpses lying on the ground. Most of the corpses were ordinary goblins, some were goblin recruits, and finally a small number of jackals.

It looks like the battle is over. There are only some goblin recruits cleaning the battlefield.

"Where is Valk? Ask him to come see me!" Theos flew down directly and asked the remaining soldiers.

"Lord, Captain Valk has gone to chase the group of jackal bandits." The goblin recruit felt that his lord was very scary at the moment and answered cautiously.

Theos didn't want to get angry with the soldiers, it was meaningless, so he said: "Ask everyone in the stone castle to come out and continue the work of collecting food!"

The attack by this group of jackals was obviously deliberate. The harvest of food cannot be stopped and must be completed as soon as possible. Now that I am guarding here personally, there will be no problem.

Harvest work soon began to resume.

Soon, Valk came back with his people. Seeing Theos's gloomy expression, he knelt down directly.

"Master! Valk betrayed your trust!"

"Get up and tell me what happened." Theos had already guessed almost everything, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"Yes." Valk breathed out and then told what happened.

It turned out that there was a group of jackals hiding here the night before. In the middle of the grain harvest, they suddenly took action and robbed the grain trucks that had gathered to prepare for storage.

The citizens working on the scene suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers guarding nearby were no match and could not stop them at all. Valk was already a step too late when he arrived.

"The other party couldn't run fast with the food. I chased them for a distance, but the other party sent a group of people to stop us. By the time we got rid of them, they had already run away."

"Each of this group of gnolls has good weapons and armor. Their level of armament is no less than ours. Master, I think you need to pay attention to it."

Theos also discovered this. The corpses of the jackals at the scene were all wearing fine armor.

In this way, although there are many problems, they cannot be entirely blamed on Valcke.

"Who is the other party?" Theos asked.

"As you might imagine, it's the gnoll tribe not far from our territory. We also captured a few prisoners."

Valk quickly turned around, waved his hand and said, "Bring them here!"

Soon, the captured gnolls were brought up. Each of them was stripped of their armor, tied with iron chains, and controlled by two hobgoblins.

The gnoll who was still struggling at first became quiet as the distance got closer and he saw Theos' figure.

"The dragon...is a giant dragon!"

The gnolls were so shocked that they never expected that they would actually attack the territory of a giant dragon. Over the past year, Theos and Kawi have deliberately controlled their whereabouts.

"It's over, everything is over! The Blade Tooth Tribe is over!" A jackal's face was ashen. Obviously, he knew what they had done and what the consequences would be.

"Valk, I'll leave it to you to tell them everything they know."

After confirming the origin of the other party, Theos lost interest in them.

Since the first day of preparing to develop here, Theos has known about the existence of this group of gnolls, the Sabertooth Tribe, but has never touched them.

The reason why he didn't move was not because he couldn't beat him, but because Theos hadn't decided how to face the world and was still hesitating in his heart.

It is unlikely that a tribe of gnolls could possess large-scale sophisticated weapons on their own.

There is a group of dwarves behind them.

To put it simply, they occupy this area of ​​connection with the outside world and conduct exchanges and trade.

Theos moved this gnoll tribe, which means that he will switch from stand-alone to online.

He already has an IP, but he has been hesitating, what ID should he use to appear?

But now, Theos has thought about it.

"Prepare for war, Valk." Theos said.

World, here I come!
Chapter completed!
