Inside the inner room, Niu Zida had Lululu wear white stockings, hands on her knees, her snow-white buttocks raised. He rode on her stirrups, thrusting fiercely, quickly making the cute golden-haired beautiful maid beg for mercy, until they both reached the peak together... But this was just the first time; a storm followed, wave after wave... Who knows how long passed, the two finally ended their long battle. The room was filled with hurried gasps. Niu Zida lay resting on Lululu's beautiful back, leisurely playing with her large breasts. Lululu was so exhausted that her skin was soaked with fragrant sweat, turning a rosy red. She looked weary, her white stockings soft, and she could only brace her knees to avoid falling.
When Niu Zida had rested enough, Lululu finally received permission, picked Niu Zida up again, and the two went to bed to rest.
"Lululu, you're definitely pregnant this time, aren't you?"
"It was so deep, it must be, Master's aim is always accurate, isn't it?"
Stroking the beautiful girl's flat stomach, Niu Zida was already fantasizing about how many more Goblin Priests he could have in the future.
Just as Niu Zida and Lululu were embracing on the bed, exchanging sweet nothings,
Aponia's voice came from outside: "Master, the experimental results are out. This time, they lasted 10 hours."
"Oh? Has it been that long already?"
Having been playing with Lululu almost constantly, Niu Zida hadn't noticed how much time had passed outside. It was already deep into the night. It seemed Aponia had been closely monitoring the experiment's results for him.
"Aponia, come in."
After receiving her Master's permission, Aponia entered. In just half a day, Aponia's belly was already slightly bulging. This was Niu Zida's handiwork from two days ago; it seemed Aponia would also be able to give birth in a few more days.
"Master, it seems this experiment's results are good. Several Goblins were actually able to maintain their lifespan for 10 hours."
"However, this experiment also lost over ten Goblins."
Since they were all born by him, Niu Zida still felt a bit reluctant. Aponia leaned in, actively kissed Niu Zida, and then said: "It's alright, Master, losses can always be replenished."
When Niu Zida heard the beautiful woman say this, he suddenly pulled Aponia over, making her crawl on the bed, and said with a lewd smile: "Aponia, you're right. Let's replenish the losses now."
"But Master, you must take care of yourself. Weren't you with Lululu all day today?"
"Don't worry, my body is perfectly fine."
Niu Zida gave Aponia's snow-white, perky buttocks a firm slap, then flipped over onto her again, treading on Aponia's snow-white, slender shins as he galloped once more... The following week was a week of great harvest for Niu Zida. Lululu gave birth to 3 more Goblin Priests, Misato Shizuku produced a Goblin Demon Swordsman, and Yor also gave birth to a Goblin Assassin. Currently, the total elite Goblins include 5 Goblin Priests, 3 Goblin Demon Swordsmen, 2 Goblin Assassins, and 1 Goblin Thunder Element Shaman, totaling 11 elite Goblins. The only drawback was that all these elite Goblins were C-rank.
Besides the significant increase in elite Goblins, the ordinary Goblins, after deducting previous losses, also grew to 450. Of these, 100 were permanently stationed in the Demi-human Village under the leadership of 1 Goblin Demon Swordsman to supervise the Demi-human Village. The remaining 350 were divided into two teams of 170 each, and an additional 10 were specially transferred by Niu Zida into the castle as permanent guards for the inner gate.
Although his maids, Misato Shizuku, Yor, and Aponia, were all overwhelmingly powerful against human combatants, Niu Zida still didn't completely trust the city's garrison. It was safer to have the gate to his residence in his own people's hands.
Time had already entered the end of March. Within the restored Dorei Territory, production was steadily progressing, presenting a scene of prosperity. In just two months, potatoes and oats would also be harvested, providing grain. Niu Zida felt he could begin a larger-scale troop expansion, and even, if necessary, force some vagrants from the surrounding areas into the territory. For now, he still needed to be patient, as his food reserves were low after continuous combat. Even the original stored grain and money in the Dorei Territory had been largely spent on settling vagrants. At this time, Niu Zida most wanted to maintain stability and wait for the right moment.
However, nothing ever goes smoothly. Just as Niu Zida was accumulating strength, the Atair Kingdom sent people to demand this year's taxes and grain from the Dorei Territory, and at least 1,000 soldiers to support the kingdom's front-line war.
To conceal the current situation of the Dorei Territory, Amelie was specially assigned to receive the Atair Kingdom's envoy this time. Niu Zida was not worried that Amelie would betray him and seek help. If the kingdom really sent troops and drove him away, those taxes and grain would bankrupt the territory, not to mention having to provide 1,000 able-bodied laborers. It was likely that even if he was driven away, Amelie's daughter's territory would be bankrupt. Amelie, a woman skilled in calculation, would know who was more beneficial to side with now.
On the envoy's journey, to conceal the fact that Goblins occupied the territory, Niu Zida specifically had all the Goblins leave the outer city and encamp in the distance for that day, letting the human garrison guard the city gates as a show. However, Niu Zida also knew that the envoy would at most be fooled this one time. It wouldn't be long before they learned the truth that the territory was occupied by Goblins.
Niu Zida did this only to buy as much time as possible, to avoid exposing himself too early and becoming a target for the Atair Kingdom's crusade. No matter what, he didn't want to go to war with the Atair Kingdom; even if the entire kingdom was very weak, its strength was still far greater than his own.
"Such conditions are too excessive."
After meeting the envoy at the inn that evening, Amelie returned to her inner chambers, fuming. She relayed the conditions to Niu Zida, then added:
"The kingdom is arbitrarily requisitioning resources and personnel from the Dorei Territory; they don't treat my territory with any regard at all."
"If you agree to such terms, you won't be able to act as a noble anymore. You'd probably die in a peasant uprising first."
Hearing Niu Zida's words, Amelie was startled. In fact, she also knew that if Niu Zida hadn't appeared, given her deceased husband's oppressive and destructive methods of exploiting the territory, she would have sooner or later died in a peasant uprising. She also understood the meaning behind Niu Zida's words: he was telling her that he was the one who could best protect her territory's interests.
The intelligent beauty understood this meaning and naturally, a charming smile immediately appeared on her snow-white face:
"Master is right. So what should we do next?"
