Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 96 – We are Goblins
Standing at the doorway, Li Meng watched as the goblin underlings departed.
This expedition to the Pigmen tribe could be considered a long-distance training exercise.
It was important for the goblins to habitually stockpile provisions for emergencies.
The drawbacks of hunting while traveling were too significant to ignore.
Thus, over the next half month, the tribe began preparations for the expedition to the Pigmen tribe.
Outside the Iron Cave, it was bustling with activity.
A large number of goblins lined up to receive armor.
The hunting parties also started producing a large amount of jerky.
Li Meng didn’t stay in the tribe; he headed to the eastern shore outpost of the northern swamp.
Morning, at the eastern shore outpost of the northern swamp.
"Not bad at all!"
Walking through the outpost, Li Meng looked around, nodding repeatedly.
Indeed, it was quite good, not much different from his plans.
The outpost was built by the water, covering an area about the size of five football fields.
It was surrounded by a wooden wall nearly seven meters high.
There were five watchtowers, distributed in four directions.
Each watchtower was equipped with a three-bow ballista.
The outpost could accommodate around five hundred goblins for battle.
The outpost had a west gate, and outside the west gate was a simple dock.
Gobu Gao grinned at the boss's praise.
"Boss, boss!"
At this moment, a goblin came running over excitedly.
"Boss, the Lizardmen have brought fish!"
Li Meng's eyes lit up with interest.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Li Meng then climbed the watchtower on the left side of the west gate with Gobu Gao.
From the watchtower, Li Meng saw the dock outside.
The dock was built by the water.
Half of it was in the water, and half on the shore.
The dock was located in a relatively deep water area.
Not far from the dock, a group of Lizardmen was approaching.

Accompanying them were more than a dozen wooden boats.
The boats varied in size, with the largest being several times the size of the smallest.
These boats were also made by goblins for the Lizardmen as transport tools.
They were pushing the boats towards the dock.
The contents of the boats seemed heavy.
The gunwales were almost level with the water surface.
Fortunately, the water in the swamp was calm.
If it were the Goblin River, the boats would have sunk long ago.
"Boss, those Lizardmen always like to deliver fish in the afternoon, and by the time they're sent to the tribe overnight, it's almost morning."
As the boats approached, Li Meng finally saw what was inside them.
It was water, with a slightly rippling surface.
Faintly visible were fish of various sizes swimming inside the boats.
As the Lizardmen's team reached the dock, the outpost became lively.
With a creaking sound, the west gate slowly opened.
A large number of goblins rushed out with a dozen carts.
Nearly a hundred goblins on the dock, along with the Lizardmen, skillfully transferred the catch.
"Boss, why not have the Lizardmen make the fish into jerky? It would be much more convenient."
Gobu Gao looked at the boss with a puzzled expression.
Jerky might not taste great, but it could fill the stomach.
Transporting live fish for the Lizardmen was indeed troublesome.
It was time-consuming, and each transfer took a long time.
"Jerky can be used for emergencies, but it can't be consumed long-term."
The boss's answer made Gobu Gao nod in partial understanding.
They were the same; eating jerky every day would be unbearable.
After inspecting the outpost, Li Meng didn't linger.
He left early the next morning.
By the time Li Meng returned to the tribe, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Back in the tribe, Li Meng stayed put and didn't go anywhere.
Time passed day by day.
---
Half a month later, at the throne tribe.
Another new day, in the morning.
The buffer zone outside the east wall was bustling.
Nearly five thousand goblins spread across a vast wasteland.
The green figures formed a dense mass, almost endless.
Just witnessing this scene was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
The goblins' chaotic cries echoed through the sky.
The gathering made the goblins unusually excited.
They looked around, occasionally shouting.
"Boss, the boss is here!"
At this moment, a shout came from the dense mass of goblins.
On the watchtower to the left of the east gate, Li Meng's strong figure appeared.
The boss's appearance caused the goblins outside to erupt in excitement.
Standing on the watchtower, Li Meng looked at the sea of people before him with a pleased expression.
In less than two years, he had achieved this level of success.
He basked in the fervent gazes of thousands of goblins.
Facing countless eyes, Li Meng spread his arms wide!
This gesture instantly silenced the goblins outside the wall.
"Tell me, what are we?"
Li Meng roared, his voice deafening.
"Goblins, goblins!"
The goblins outside the wall raised their weapons high, shouting loudly.
The momentum was overwhelming, wave after wave.
The tremendous noise startled birds and beasts in the surrounding forest.
Li Meng grinned, pressing his hands downward.
The thunderous shouts abruptly ceased.
"We are goblins, and thus we have many enemies. Our battles will never end. We may be weak, but we will become stronger. We will show our enemies that the era of goblins has arrived, and goblins will rise!"
Li Meng's voice resonated powerfully through the heavens and earth.
The sound was so loud.
Every goblin heard the ambition in the boss's voice.
All the goblins looked fervently at the figure on the watchtower.
Under the boss's leadership, they would surely defeat any formidable enemy.
"Gobu Meng, Gobu Meng!"
Suddenly, a shout arose from the dense mass of goblins.
This shout was echoed by all the goblins.
The goblin army outside the wall erupted once more.
They shouted the boss's name with even greater fervor.
"Gobu Meng, Gobu Meng!"
The momentum was immense, wave after wave.
All the goblins raised their weapons, shouting passionately.
Even the boars of the goblin boar cavalry were infected by the fervent atmosphere.
They grunted excitedly.
Li Meng waved his hand, pointing eastward.
The fervent shouts instantly ceased.
"Our enemies are to the east. Forward, march!"
The goblin army in the wasteland outside the wall responded and moved.
The goblins in simple armor turned and surged into the forest.
For a moment, the wasteland outside the tribe rumbled with footsteps.
The dense mass of goblins surged eastward like a tide.
The dense forest seemed like a devouring beast, continuously swallowing the goblins.
"Goblin boar cavalry, move out!"
Riding on a boar, Gobu Qiang let out an excited roar.
Nearly a thousand goblin boar cavalry moved in unison, charging into the forest.
The thunderous sound of hooves echoed through the heavens and earth.
Nearly a thousand goblin boar cavalry charged into the dense forest like a dark cloud.
Seeing this scene, Li Meng grinned.
He suddenly leaped down from the watchtower.
His strong body landed steadily on Benben's shoulder outside the wall from a height of over ten meters.
