I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 118 The Slave-Hunting Team Assembles

The slave-catching camps are now empty and quiet, making any movement more noticeable.

To Bogi, the footsteps outside sounded just as abrupt as the sound of horses' hooves.

Not to mention the rustling sounds of conversation that could be heard.

Although Bogi couldn't hear clearly, he could tell that two people were talking; one was probably a teenager, and the other was noticeably burly.

"I bet the Baron isn't in a hurry to see the harvest. He probably thinks we've wasted his food."

"Watch your words, young man. I know you hate him, but we depend on him to survive here."

As they were speaking, three figures appeared at the gate of the log enclosure.

Bogi turned around and looked.

Excluding the unremarkable soldier, there were two figures remaining, one tall and one short.

The tall figure was large and strong, wearing a well-fitting coarse wool armor, with skin a shade darker than wheat, and a striking bald head and a large brown beard.

Although his military uniform fit well, the tailoring was simple and the details were rough, clearly the result of trying to imitate it but being unable to do a fine job.

This is the leader of the slave-catching team.

The soldiers stopped at the gate of the wall and climbed back up the platform.

Boji stood up, placing one hand on the massive shield behind him that symbolized a baron.

As the two approached, he glanced at the other, shorter figure.

Although he was shorter than the leader of the slave-catching team, he was still a bit taller than Bogi.

The man was wearing a more sophisticated suit of armor, his clothes slightly soaked with sweat.

He looked a year or two older than Boki and was more robust than any soldier Boki had ever seen. His facial features and the light golden-brown hair on his head were somewhat similar to Baron Taliss's.

Bogi frowned at the sight.

He recalled the orders Ewalk had just given to the soldiers.

"Summon the chieftain and the commander-in-chief."

He had never heard of a warlord in the slave-catching team!

Moreover, this warlord looks somewhat similar to Lord Talis!

As the two reached the door, Bogi turned around with difficulty once again, revealing a shield bearing the coat of arms of Baron Talis.

The tall leader of the slave-catching team stopped at the door, but the "overlord" only glanced at him before walking straight into the house and sitting down next to the head of the household.

A hint of helplessness appeared in the eyes of the slave-catching team leader.

He looked at Bogi and said, "Bogi, I didn't expect it to be you. It seems the Baron is in a great hurry? What orders did Baron Taliss send you with? Is there any documentation?"

Bogi shook his head.

"No. The Baron only told me to bring the shield; the order was given to me verbally."

"snort."

A cold snort rang out from inside the room.

Bogi didn't even need to look to know that it was sent by that "warlord".

He could sense that there was a story behind this.

But that has nothing to do with him.

Bogi continued, "The Baron asked me to inquire about your harvest. Why don't you go first?"

The leader of the slave-catching team looked towards one end of the long table.

That was where Ekko was.

"I've already prepared everything. Let me tell you, Camo."

Evock took a roll of linen from the cabinet and spread it out on the table.

The surface is divided into more than twenty squares by rough black lines, and almost every square has a pattern drawn on it.

Some of the lines are winding lines that run through the grid, while others are straight lines.

In addition, there are many individual patterns.

For example, pointed ears, small houses, stones of different shapes, or even blackened stones.

"We searched all the areas the Baron wanted us to explore. Except for the small team responsible for the northern part of the Baron's territory, which didn't report back, all the other teams made gains."

Evock pointed at the linen with his finger.

"There's a place in the northeast with few trees and withered moss; perhaps coal could be mined there."

"North of Baron Taliss's territory are vast beech forests, and further north are oak forests. There's more timber than you can use."

"There's a lot of clay along the riverbank to the north..."

He picked out a few resource points, either those with high value or those that could be obtained immediately.

But each one is extremely valuable.

"I can't remember all of that, you can just tell the Baron directly."

Bogi started talking about the next thing.

"The Baron has ordered you to regroup your forces, this time at Knight Valos's manor. You can give him the items directly then."

Camor, the leader of the slave-catching team, frowned.

"Another gathering? It's not time yet. Has something serious happened?"

Let's not discuss how to calculate the credit for this.

If the operation is simply to end early, there is no need to regroup the team.

Something big has obviously happened.

Upon hearing this question, Bogi's expression changed.

He wanted to say something, but in the end he kept his mouth shut.

Camo noticed the change, took out a silver coin, grabbed Bogi's hand, and stuffed it into his palm.

Bogi stared in surprise at the silver coin in his palm.

The silver coin is oval-shaped, with a raised portrait of King Ofshion IX of Snow on one side, symbolizing that it was minted by the Kingdom of Snow, and a raised sword and pickaxe on the other side, symbolizing the Kingdom of Snow's famous warrior worship and abundant mineral resources.

The coin also has a raised vine pattern around its edge, symbolizing its completeness.

Snow Silver Coin!

A perfectly preserved Snow silver coin!

Baron Talis usually bartered, and people rarely had the opportunity to use even copper coins, let alone silver ones.

This does not mean it has low value.

Foreign caravans were unwilling to let them use grain to buy goods!

Bogi quickly stuffed the silver coins into his pocket.

As he stuffed the silver coins into the deepest part of his pouch, he said, "I was in a rush before I set off and didn't hear much. I only heard that Knight Valos brought a goblin to the Baron, and that goblin was more useful than a serf."

Snapped.

Bogi tucked the silver coins into the bottom compartment of his waist pouch and patted it.

After confirming that he could reach the silver coin through the fabric, he continued.

"The goblin's pack is not far north of the baron's territory. It is said that they defeated two squads and injured a knight."

He looked up at Camor.

A slight look of surprise appeared on Camor's old face.

He then looked at Ewalk and the "Overseer".

Both of them were deep in thought.

Bogi couldn't wait for them; he headed straight for the door.

"Alright, I should go back and report to the Baron. You'd better hurry, the cold is just around the corner."

Camo snapped out of his daze and nodded.

"Tell the Baron that I will send the Leaf Whistle Squad to recall the troops, and we will arrive in four days."

So fast?

Bogi blinked. "Alright, I'll tell the Baron."

After saying that, he acted as if his house was on fire, quickly mounted his horse and left.

Da da da da...

Camo watched him disappear and began to ponder again.

The warlord, who hadn't uttered a word since entering the room, began to complain: "Sending out a Leaf Sentinel for a bunch of goblins? And they have to assemble them in four days? That's not worth it."

Not to mention the costs incurred by the Yeshao team when they were dispatched on horseback.

Just considering the time involved, they have to keep traveling and don't even have time to sleep at night!

Evok nodded: "This will reduce our profits. But don't worry, Hick, those goblins do have special value."

Camo also looked at Hicko, who was sitting down, and said, "I know you're dissatisfied with your brother, but this might be an opportunity. If we can capture a goblin that knows how to farm and breed it, we might be able to gain the support of other nobles."

Hick, Camo, and Ewok exchanged a glance, and he let out a long sigh.

"Phew. Uncle, you're right. I'll go call the Leaf Whistle Team to take action."
