Li Meng shook his head and raised his hand to stop Gobu Di from tinuing his chatter.

  "You've done well with this matter, very good, I'm quite satisfied!"

  Gobu Di and Gobu Shi, the two big fellows, grinned widely.

  The boss's praise made them very excited.

  Li Meng turned his head to look at Bai Ling and the group of Lizardman elders oher side.

  "I give you two choices: one, each of you returns to your own tribe, and the goblins will garrison here."

  "Two, your three tribes merge into one, and this pce will serve as the ribe's headquarters, and the goblins will withdraw."

  Sihe ribe is destio appear, he might as well propose it to speed up the timeline.

  The key to ging the future lies in time.

  Hearing this, Bai Ling showed a look of surprise.

  She hadn't expected the master to ask their three tribes te into one.

  "Master, we need some time..."

  Li Meng raised his hand to interrupt Bai Ling.

  "Discuss it here, I need an answer. Your choice will affect what I do ."

  Li Meng's words made Bai Ling's heart tighten.

  She dared not be careless and quickly turo discuss with the elders.

  A dozen Lizardmen gathered together, whispering.

  This aroused the curiosity of the goblins ihe house.

  Before long, Bai Ling and the Lizardman elders had reached a clusion.

  Bai Ling turo face the master once again.

  "Master, we choose to establish a ribe, he 'Yue '!"

  The words "Yue " made a traazement fsh in Li Meng's eyes.

  The future predicted by the simuted life was ihe true future line.

  "Very well, prepare the tribute. I will withdraw the troops tomorrow. Also, to avoid casualties due to food issues with the tribute, from now on, you will provide the food for the tribute, and I will hahe transportation."

  Li Meng was not worried that the Yue would run away.

  Those tributes were hostages.

  And the Yue had nowhere else to go after leaving the northern s.

  Although the Bck Mountain S was an excellent choice, the Lizardmen in the northern s all came from the Bck Mountain S.

  The reason the Lizardmen of the northern s left the Bck Mountain S must have beeo some grievances with the Bck Mountain tribe.

  Unless absolutely necessary, the Lizardmen of the northern s would not return to the Bck Mountain S.

  Bai Ling slightly lowered her head.

  "Yes, Master, I will prepare the tribute!"

  Iime that followed, Bai Ling became busy.

  Preparing the tribute was just a word, but implementing it would enter many difficulties.

  Throughout the afternoon, the cries of Lizardmen echoed within the wooden fortress.

  It wasn't until nightfall that the wooden fortress gradually quieted down.

  That night, the wooden fortress was silent.

  The weather was good, with a full moon in the sky.

  The silver moonlight spread across the nd, slightly dispelling the darkness.

  At the entrance of the rgest wooden house, Li Meng gazed up at the full moon.

  "Isn't this a bit too perverse?"

  Recalling the se of Bai Liing tributes iernoon, Li Meng found it unfettable.

  For the Lizardmen, it was a se of utter horror.

  But Li Meng couldhize.

  Instead, he felt an indescribable excitement.

  The strohe Lizardmen's ive emotions, the more pleasure he felt.

  "Bme it on entering a clever goblin!"

  He was now a goblin, no longer human.

  Li Meng had long accepted this fact.

  If he, as a goblin, still acted like a human, he would have ended up as a pile of dung on the ground.

  "At least you live, while I am still struggling to survive!"

  Li Meng did not promise with the guilt of human sciousness.

  Standing at the door, bathed in moonlight, he turned aered the wooden house.

  Bai Ling was ihe wooden house, but Li Meng did not touch her.

  The only differeween Li Meng and a goblin was his strong self-trol.

  Reprodug and releasing desire was fine, but only if necessary.

  Without the y, he would rather sleep.

  Time passed bit by bit, and the night gradually deepened.

  Early the m, at the break of dawn, the wooden fortress was bustling.

  The goblin army statio the wooden fortress began to withdraw in an orderly manner.

  The watchtowers were not dismantled and still stood on the wooden walls.

  But the three-bow ballistae ochtowers had been dismantled.

  The wooden fortress could be given to the Yue , but the three-bow ballistae could not be left to the Lizardmen.

  The Lizardmen serving as tributes were also bidding their final farewells to their families.

  This farewell meant they would not meet again until a year ter.

  As the m light rose in the eastern sky, the bustle in the wooden fortress reached its peak.

  A massive processioed through the east gate of the wooden fortress.

  tless figures, rge and small, formed a tinuous mass.

  In the s, they formed a oviward.

  But before long, the massive procession scattered like loose sand.

  Thousands of people marg together could not meet their food needs.

  So they had to spread out, break into smaller groups, and hunt while returning to the tribe.

  It wasn't until five days ter that the scattered groups gradually returo the tribe.

  Thus, the northern s i came to an end.

  The tribe's developmeuro its normal course.

  It was another new day, in the m.

  On the sed day after returning to the tribe, Li Meng became busy again.

  Early in the m, Li Meng crawled out from a pile of female Lizardmen.

  Although Bai Ling was no lohere, the task of reprodu could not be ed.

  There were thirteen beds ihrone cave.

  Therefore, Bai Ling had selected thirteen Lizardmen from the new batch of tributes.

  They were all daughters of elders.

  With a "click," the door of the throne cave opened.

  Li Meng stretched and walked out of the wooden house.

  "Go find Gobu Gao, have him e see me!"

  The goblin guarding the door quickly ran into the depths of the forest.

  Before long, some sounds came from ihe wooden house.

  The female Lizardmen inside had woken up.

  They silently picked up the scattered animal skin skirts and put them on.

  Last night had exhausted them.

  They felt weak all over, their limbs sore.

  Some female Lizardmen y on the bed, uo get up, their tails swinging.

  "Boss, boss!"

  Suddenly, loud cries came from outside the wooden house.

  Gobu Gao came running from the depths of the forest, wagging his tail.

  "Gobu Gao, do you remember the pce where we cut down trees for timber when building the wooden fortress?"

  Gobu Gao quickly nodded.

  "Yes, boss, do we o cut trees there again?"

  "Yes, take your offspring to that pd build a stronghold."

  The stronghold would be built by the water and have a dock.

  The Yue would send food needed for the tribute by water to the stronghold.

  Then the goblins at the stronghold would deliver the food to the tribe.

  "The stronghold should be built by the water, with a doall boats..."

  Iime that followed, Li Meng expio Gobu Gao what a dock was.

  He also instructed him on the scale and style of the stronghold.
