The two goblins slipped away on their own a few days ago.
Zhang Yi did not think too much about it at that moment.
The two goblins were of little importance on a larger scale.
However, he never imagined that they would return by themselves. And not only did they return alone, they also brought a large group of their goblin brothers.
By the time Zhang Yi appeared before them, all of the goblins fell to the ground, prostrating in tears and begging to be brought in.
[Notice: 212 goblins came to join you. Will you accept?]
Zhang Yi was a bit stunned.
He could not have imagined that something like this would happen.
It seemed that the two lost goblins had not really escaped.
Instead, they sneaked into the forest to recruit the goblins that spread nearby to join the Demon King. Really, what an amazing thing.
It was only fitting that Zhang Yi could not imagine this.
After all, he did kill around ⅔ out of all the goblins in their village!
Then he forcefully transferred the goblins here as plantation slaves.
Think for a second.
What kind of person is that action?
It was clearly the actions of a tyrant, the Demon King.
But not only did those goblins not hold grudges, they even ended up trying to recruit more of their brothers for him.
To be honest, Zhang Yi was only limited by his own common sense.
Different races have different values.
Goblins are one of the weakest races ever.
It was normal for them to be at the bottom of the food chain. Being slaughtered or enslaved by other races was the norm for them. They only survive thanks to their high rate of breeding and adaptability.
Following the strong is the same as getting that protection.
It was something that most goblins could only dream of. That meant that they did not need to be intimidated by other tribes.
Moreover, Zhang Yi's farm was truly magical.
For goblins, living in the Valley of Darkness was not only safe, they also did not have to worry about hunger. It was basically heaven for them.
"Please accept us, sir!"
"We will swear allegiance!"
"We will offer our souls to you!"
More than two hundred goblins prostrated themselves on the ground while begging with a glass.
Each one cried and lamented as if they would kill themselves on the spot if rejected.
For a goblin, joining the Demon King, even if it was a lowly farm slave, was still a huge fortune.
Zhang Yi turned his gaze to the two goblins in the head and asked, "Where did you find these people of unknown origin?"
"Master, they're goblins from a nearby village."
"The village was destroyed by a minotaur from the Bloodhoof Tribe some time ago, so they wandered in the nearby forest."
So that's how it is.
Zhang Yi calmly stated, "Farming does require workers at the moment, so I am willing to accept you. However, this kind of thing wouldn't happen again without my permission, understand?"
"Yes yes!"
"We will farm with the energy we have!"
"..."
The goblins were very grateful and very happy to have been received by the Demon King.
Now that Zhang Yi had recruited over 200 goblins, he now had a total of over 300 goblins. Obtaining this additional source of labor was definitely a huge advantage for him.
Agricultural productivity will definitely increase greatly from this.
Even so, he still needed to give a warning, lest they do something like this for now.
It was not that Zhang Yi did not want to recruit more wandering gobins or other natives who might want to join him, but there were certain risks associated with it.
Who knows if the natives who tried to join turned out to be loyal?
Who knew if a Hero was trying to infiltrate by hiding among those groups or not?
The territory is not finished, and everything is still growing.
He did not want to see some uncontrollable circumstances disrupt the current pace of development.
Zhang Yi used his cheat to conduct a quick check.
After making sure that no Heroes were mixed in, he had the soldiers take them to the farm.
After returning to the castle.
With several thousand gold in hand, Zhang Yi decided to use it for summoning.
Currently, he had 300 or so draconian workers. That was enough for construction construction, stone quarrying, and wood cutting, so there was no need anymore for now. However, his combat power was clearly lacking.
Currently, other than the skeletal warriors, he only had 30 draconian soldiers.
Castles, canyons, farms, and various patrols all need to be protected.
Zhang Yi decided. In the next two or three days, he would increase the number of his soldiers to over 100.
The Draconian army was an elite-level fighter. In the current period, it was already more than enough to protect the castle and its territory. It even reached the basic requirement to expand outward.
Moreover, right now, he was indeed lacking in resources.
The Valley of Darkness is closed and safe.
Plus, it is quite rich in resources of wood, stone, animals, and water.
However, ordinary ores such as iron and copper are also very important.
Not only construction materials, they can also be used to forge or strengthen equipment. As the region continues to develop, its need for them will obviously also increase day by day.
And rather than spending money to buy everything, it was better to take over the mine alone.
Building a mine would indeed stabilize its supply.
The Chaos Forest was vast and rich in resources, so finding a decent mineral vein shouldn't be too difficult.
Zhang Yi decided to try asking the old goblin's head for information.
The goblin chief replied, "Oh great lord, there is a very large and rich mine nearby. It's just been unused for a long time."
Zhang Yi asked, "Why?"
The goblin's head replied, "Conon, long ago, they dug too deep and dug out the ancient demons, which ended up causing a terrible disaster."
