Chapitre 9: Logue Village

Éditeur: Modlawls123

After listening to Li Si’s report, Zhao Fu nodded. The next day, he summoned 14 new villagers. There were seven people who could fight and a B grade woman, who Zhao Fu also arranged to change to Scholar. He hoped that they would be able to gain the Taming skill with more Scholars soon.

Zhao Fu took the seven people who were able to fight to become soldiers. Now, Zhao Fu had 28 soldiers, and he brought them to the Goblin village.

The Goblin village was still in full defense mode, so Zhao Fu chose to not attack. Instead, he told Bai Qi to continue laying traps while training the soldiers.

Another day passed, and Zhao Fu summoned another 15 people. Six of them could fight, so Zhao Fu arranged for them to change profession to soldiers. The Goblins still hadn’t dared to come out, so Zhao Fu continued to wait while setting traps. While doing this, Zhao Fu also discovered another Decade Iron Tree.

The next day, Zhao Fu summoned 14 people, eight of whom could fight, and one B grade villager, and he sent them all to change professions.

The Goblins finally ran out of food today, and they could no longer endure the hunger. This time, roughly 100 or so Goblins came out of the Goblin village, and about half of them were females. There were 4 Goblin Warriors who had just changed professions, and they were a bit smaller than the Goblin Warriors from before.

Right now, there were only 20 or so Goblins left in the village that could fight and the Goblin Warrior that had returned from the previous hunting expedition. There were 30 or so females, and some elderly and young Goblins who essentially couldn’t fight.

From how things looked, it seemed that attacking the Goblin village would be quite easy, but Zhao Fu felt that it would not be so simple. He felt that the blood-colored altar was not ordinary, and there could be something special about it.

As such, Zhao Fu decided to attack the 100 or so Goblins. Of course, it was stupid to directly attack them, or they would have set all of those traps for nothing.

Zhao Fu split up the 34 soldiers into three groups and gave an explanation of their plan before sending one team to attack.

When the Goblins saw that there were so few enemies, they immediately raised their sabers and yelled as they rushed over. The group of people attacked a few times and turned and ran, following Zhao Fu’s orders.

The Goblins cheered excitedly and chased after them, wanting to kill the enemies who had tormented them for the past few days.

However, in the next moment, the Goblins started to fall into the ready-dug pits, and they were impaled by the sharp wooden spikes. They continuously howled, the big group of Goblins instantly losing 20 out of the 100 Goblins.

After losing a portion of their forces instantly, all of the Goblins stopped, not daring to advance. They had no idea if there were more of these pits ahead, so they did not dare to advance. All they could do was stand still as they furiously roared.

Swish, swish, swish…

Suddenly, a few arrows pierced some of the Goblins. The Goblins saw a few enemies running from their left, and they immediately chased after them in rage.

As they ran, they triggered trap after trap. Large logs and rocks smashed down from above, either heavily injuring Goblins or killing them directly.

The 80 or so Goblins had now been reduced to about 50. At this moment, another group appeared to the right of the Goblins, shooting them with arrows before running away.

The Goblins had already suffered twice, and they did not dare to stupidly chase after them anymore. They could only stand still at where they were and brandish their weapons, roaring at the escaping enemies.

By now, the other two groups had merged and circled around from behind the Goblins. Arrows and fireballs landed on the group of Goblins, catching them completely off-guard. This attack was quite effective: the fireball heavily injured two Goblins and gave a few other Goblins light injuries, while nine arrows found their marks, killing three Goblins, heavily injuring five, and lightly injuring one.

Now, there were only around 40 Goblins who were still able to fight. The group that had been running also turned around and started to attack, reducing the Goblins’ numbers even more.

“Bai Qi, get rid of one of the Goblin Warriors as quickly as possible. All Shieldbearers focus on defense and hold up the other two Goblin Warriors. Infantry charge, and Archers fire at will. Leave the Goblin Warrior with the lame legs to me,” Zhao Fu loudly commanded, and everyone moved to carry out his orders.

The remaining Goblin Soldiers had only just changed professions and many of them were female, so they were quickly dealt with by the Infantry and Archers. Eight or nine Shieldbearers held wooden shields and tightly surrounded two of the Goblin Warriors.

Zhao Fu was able to deal with the lame Goblin Warrior quite easily. Of course, he did not fight it at close range because he definitely wouldn’t have been able to defeat it. Instead, he launched Fireballs at it – because the Goblin Warrior was quite large and had lame legs, it was unable to dodge his attacks, and it was killed by Zhao Fu in the end.

On the other side, Bai Qi quickly dealt with the Goblin Warrior he was responsible for. The remaining two Goblin Warriors did not require Bai Qi to act, and they were killed by arrows. They died in quite a pitiful manner – they were surrounded by shields and barely had any space to dodge the arrows that rained down on them.

After the battle was over, everyone started to sweep the battlefield.

Bai Qi put away his sword and turned to look at Zhao Fu, a hint of a smile on his cold and handsome face. Zhao Fu’s tactics and commands during the fight had been stellar. He lacked experience in large battles, but this was enough to show Zhao Fu’s exceptional talent. How could Bai Qi not feel happy to have such a capable lord?

Zhao Fu turned around and saw Bai Qi’s smile. Zhao Fu felt quite confused and asked, “Bai Qi, what are you smiling at?”

Bai Qi lightly shook his head and did not respond to Zhao Fu’s question. Instead, he asked, “Your Majesty, how should we proceed? Do we attack the Goblin village?”

After thinking about it, Zhao Fu replied, “Surround it first. I feel that there is something strange about the Goblin Village. Regardless, they don’t have any food, so they’ll have to come out sooner or later. There’s no need to rush.”

Bai Qi nodded and replied, “This subordinate feels the same way. They probably left the village empty to lure us over. However, they hadn’t expected that Your Majesty would ambush the 100 or so Goblin Soldiers and 4 Goblin Warriors, who have now all been destroyed, instead of attacking the village.”

Zhao Fu felt more and more that the Goblin village was not so simple. After clearing out the battlefield, he took his soldiers to surround the village.

The Goblins looked at the enemies surrounding their village and understood what had happened. Looks of fear and terror appeared on their faces as the village became somewhat chaotic.

Zhao Fu looked on from outside and did not plan to attack. They were in the palm of his hands, so there was no need to be hurried.

After observing the village for 10 or so minutes, Zhao Fu was surprised to see an elderly Goblin walk out with an ancient, wooden walking stick. The elderly Goblin brought the rest of the Goblins out and knelt at the entrance of the village.

Following this, Zhao Fu received a system announcement, “Logue Village has surrendered to you. Would you like to accept?”


Chapitre 10: Demon Priest

Zhao Fu and Bai Qi looked at each other, feeling quite surprised. They had expected the Goblins to go hungry for a few days before charging out in desperation, yet the Goblins had unexpectedly surrendered. Zhao Fu lightly smiled and chose to accept, and another system announcement sounded in his mind.

“You have accepted Logue Village’s surrender. You have received 50 Achievement Points!”

Following this, Zhao Fu brought his people to the entrance of the village, saying to the kneeling Goblins, “You can all rise!”

Hearing this, the Goblins all slowly stood up with expressions of fear in their eyes. Even though they couldn’t understand what Zhao Fu was saying, they understood his intentions. This was because lords had translations available to them, and it was similar to telepathic communication skills. Even though they spoke different languages, they could understand each other’s intentions.

At this moment, the elderly Goblin kneeling at the front spoke a few garbled words that meant, “We thank the respected lord for accepting Logue Village’s surrender.”

Zhao Fu nodded and asked curiously, “Logue, why did you choose to surrender now instead of waiting a few days?”

Logue was the name of the elderly, bitter-looking Goblin. From the beginning, he had suspected that Zhao Fu did not have many people because of his reluctance to attack the village. As such, he sent out 100 Goblins in order to hunt for food and to entice Zhao Fu to attack the village.

If Zhao Fu had chosen to attack the village, he could have used the blood-colored altar’s effects and the remaining Goblins in the village to deal a serious blow to Zhao Fu. However, it hadn’t even crossed his mind that Zhao Fu would attack the 100 Goblins instead of the village. Not only did he kill all 100 Goblins in the hunting party, but he also chose to surround the village without attacking them.

At that point in time, Logue Village only had two options if they did not surrender: the first one was to starve to death, while the second one was to charge the encirclement. Comparatively speaking, it was much better to surrender as early as possible.

After hearing Logue’s explanation, Zhao Fu took his people to the center of the village and looked at the blood-colored altar, receiving some information.

[Demon Altar]: Can be used to change one’s profession to Demon Priest through a sacrifice. Special effects: Demon Priests standing on the Demon Altar can communicate with gods. Effects: All stats +5%.

When Zhao Fu saw this information, he motioned for Bai Qi to bring over a wild beast. Soon, Bai Qi carried over a 150-kilogram wild boar and placed it on the altar. Zhao Fu slit the wild boar’s throat with a knife, and the wild boar screamed as its blood poured out.

As the blood flowed onto the altar, the blood-red altar shined with a bloody light. The wild boar seemed to be completely terrified, and it continuously shrieked. After it died, the wild boar’s corpse shriveled up until it became completely dry, giving it a terrifying appearance.

The bloody light coming from the altar became even more intense, and an illusory image that looked like an imp appeared in the air. The imp had three short horns on its head, pitch black pupils, and a pair of small and large wings on its back.

“Tadidawuatoka!”

The demonic image said in the demon language, meaning, “Lowly human, do you believe in our glorious god, Kerr?”

“System announcement! Would you like to change your profession to Demon Priest?”

“Warning! Once you change your profession to Demon Priest, your Swordsman profession will be erased, but you will keep the skills!”

Zhao Fu did not hesitate to accept. A bloody light shot from the demonic image into Zhao Fu’s forehead, following which Zhao Fu heard a system announcement.

[Demon Priest]: D grade Military. Description: A Priest of the Demon God Kerr. Effects: Receives [Demon’s Power]

After the bloody light shot into Zhao Fu’s forehead, the demonic image slowly disappeared, and everything went back to normal.

Zhao Fu looked at his Demon Priest profession and marvelled inwardly, “ _This D grade military profession is much better than my previous profession. It gives Strength +1%, Constitution +1%, and Intelligence +4%; [Hell Fireball] and [Blood Healing] skills; and [Demon’s Power], which gives all stats +2_.”

It was a pity that this was the limit for this military profession. The so-called ‘Demon God Kerr’ was only a low godly spirit in Hell, and it was not very powerful.

In this world, there was a maximum of 100 Demon priests. Zhao Fu had been quite lucky that one had died not too long ago, so there was a spot available for him.

Zhao Fu felt quite pleased, and he smiled as he went to look at the Goblin’s barracks. The Goblins only had two Profession Change Stone Steles:

[Goblin Soldier]: F grade Military. Description: Soldiers of the Goblin race. Effects: Receives the skill [Slash].

[Goblin Warrior]: E+ grade Military. Description: Goblins that have mutated by obtaining the primogenitor’s power. Effects: Receives [Primogenitor’s Power].

No wonder the Goblin Warriors were so powerful; they were E+ grade Military. However, they were limited to five positions.

Currently, the Great Qin Village had not developed much, so even though Logue Village had become a Subsidiary Village, Logue Village would only be slightly affected and would not receive great benefits.

Zhao Fu went to have a look at the other parts of Logue Village before coming to the Storehouse. They had quite a lot of money, roughly 4,000 copper coins and 15 silver coins. Apart from that, there was not much else.

They had perfectly resolved the Goblin crisis, but the Popular Support of Logue Village was only at 50. As such, Zhao Fu ordered some people to go back and bring some food. The Goblins, who had gone hungry for a few days, immediately leapt at the food and ravenously ate, causing Popular Support to rise by 10 points.

Following this, Zhao Fu took his people back to the Great Qin Village. Due to the Goblins, they had stopped all construction for the past few days, so now they resumed working. The main tasks were to cut wood, build houses, and start farming land. Zhao Fu also sent a team of soldiers to patrol the Great Qin Village’s surroundings to see if there were any dangers.

After giving out orders, Zhao Fu did not have much to do. He looked at the two skills he had obtained from his Demon Priest profession. One was Hell Fireball, D- grade, and the other was Blood Healing, E+ grade.

Skills were also split into 9 major grades and 3 sub-grades. Zhao Fu obtained Fireball, an F grade skill, from the Violent Flame Rabbit, so he wanted to see the strength of his new D- grade skill, Hell Fireball.

Zhao Fu went to an empty piece of land and spread out his hands. A blood-coloured fireball appeared in his hands, and he threw it.

Bang! When the fireball landed on the ground, an explosion sounded out as a one meter wide crater appeared. It was at least four times stronger than a normal Fireball, which could only leave behind a black mark on the ground.

As for Blood Healing, it was a skill from Hell that was similar to a normal Priest’s healing skill.

After trying out his two new skills, Zhao Fu felt that it was a pity that there was a limit on the number of people with this profession. Also, in the Heaven Awaken World, Magic skills were quite rare, and they were worth 10 or so times more than Physical skills. Zhao Fu hoped that he would be able to create a Mage group in the future.

Zhao Fu decided to spend the rest of his time cultivating. Bai Qi was already at the peak of Stage 0-2 and about to step into Stage 0-3, while he was still at Stage 0. [TLN: Stage 0-2 denotes 'Stage 0, Step 2']

At lower levels, cultivation was not very important, but in the future, it could determine the fate of an entire nation. Thousands of normal soldiers would not be able to defeat a single Stage 9 soldier, and the normal soldiers would just be annihilated. If a nation did not have soldiers with high cultivation, it would be difficult for the nation to stand firmly.

Right now, the Great Qin Village did not have many people, and having a single person who could fight was already not bad. However, after they had more people and things stabilized, Zhao Fu would start training elite troops.
