I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 169 Preliminary Investigation

Welcome to a vast collection of novels for you to explore!

After dinner, Li Mosi led everyone back to the tribe carrying their spoils.

Looking at the prisoners who had gathered together and walked to the front of the line, and the new tribesmen who were eyeing them menacingly, Li Mosi suddenly remembered something.

"Zwan, come here."

"Yes, sir!"

Ziwan bypassed the new tribesmen and jogged quickly to Li Moss.

Everyone turned around and looked over.

Zi Yi waved to them.

"keep going."

Upon receiving the order, the group continued to line up in the following order: prisoners at the front, new tribesmen next, goblins next, and Li Moss and his three companions at the back, before returning to the tribe.

Looking at the procession ahead, Li Mosi spoke to Ziwang as they walked.

"Zwan, you said you wanted to go back. Do you see those shields and armor?"

Zi Yi, Zi An, and the Holy Maiden looked over.

They were somewhat curious.

An opportunity has arisen?!

Ziwang was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, sir. I saw it."

After thinking about Li Mosi's words, he continued.

"I recognize all the coats of arms on them; they belong to nobles from the vicinity of the Baron."

Li Mosi nodded.

"Tell me about these nobles and their territories. After I have personally verified the truth of your words, I will grant you your freedom and allow you to return in a dignified manner."

The two disciples and the saintess immediately understood his meaning.

Just like before the war.

First, try to get information from the people around you.

"Yes, sir! Uh..."

Ziwan readily agreed with delight, but just as he was about to speak, it was as if he had been choked.

He bowed, adopting a cautious demeanor, and lowered his voice to speak, "My lord, could I perhaps refrain from mentioning Baron Talis's..."

"Can."

Li Moss didn't care about this.

From the original owner's memories, it is known that the northern part of Baron Talis's territory is the Knights' Territory, and the eastern part is the territory of another baron.

He fled to the east.

In short, Baron Talis's territory and the ruins were not directly connected, and it was not his first stop.

Once you conquer the territory bordering the forest, you can simply use the [Leshanshui] map to view it.

Bringing Zwan over was primarily to gain an understanding of the surrounding forces.

"Thank you, sir!"

Ziwan seemed to have finally put down his burden, and he recounted his experiences while explaining.

"If you go straight south from here, you will first see a river flowing from west to east, and there is a long stone wall on the south side of the river."

"If the territory behind the stone wall is flat land, it belongs to the Knight of Matica. If it is an uphill slope to the south, it belongs to the Knight of Valos. If it is an uphill slope to the southwest, it belongs to the Knight of Tufat."

"What are you talking about?"

Zi'an was completely confused.

"So the place we started from is in the territory of Knight Valos! Where are your other two places?"

Hagi Saint didn't speak, but she squinted as if she was recalling something.

Actually, Ziyi was also a little confused.

What about flat ground, uphill slope, or sloping uphill?

That's way too fragmented!

That's because I was afraid the adults wouldn't understand!

Ziwan inwardly scoffed, but quickly replied, "That's how it is."

"These three knightly territories are connected, and to their south is a horizontal slope that separates them from the Baron's territory."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Mosi.

Li Mosi nodded.

Only then did Ziwan continue speaking.

"The Matica Knight Commandery is in the west, the Valos Knight Commandery is in the middle, and then the Tufat Knight Commandery is in the east."

"Continuing east from the Thufat Knights' Domain is the territory of Baron Stern."

"This site is located on both the north and east sides of Baron Stern's domain, where he appointed two knights: Knight Thun and Knight Takak."

"At the southernmost part of Baron Stern's territory, there is a river so wide that it can only be crossed by boat. That river marks the boundary between Baron Stern's territory and the area further south."

"Go west along that river, and you'll find the territory of Knight Puddle and Knight Randall."

"Kumo Knights' Territory is rather special; it's located five days' journey southeast of Baron Talis's territory."

A general direction appeared in Li Mosi's mind.

The original owner of this body must have escaped from Baron Stern's territory.

He asked, "Is Baron Stern's domain right next to Baron Taliss's domain on the west side?"

"That's right, sir."

Ziwang nodded.

"There is no clear boundary between the two territories, but the two families have jointly reserved a woodland there."

Li Moss pointed to the giant shields and armor on the backs of the goblins in front of her.

"Look at the emblems. Whose shield isn't here?"

"Yes."

Zwan looked in the direction Li Moss pointed, his gaze sweeping between the armor and the giant shield.

He quickly arrived at the result.

"My lord, the shields of Baron Talis and Baron Stern are not here. Nor is Knight Valos's shield?"

As he spoke, his tone began to rise.

He didn't really care how many nobles died in this battle.

With the Holy Maiden here, he really couldn't have any doubts.

Why are all the other knights dead, but Valos is still alive?

But he didn't dare ask.

So the baron who died was Stern.

The fleeing knight was Varos.

Li Moss then asked the next question: "How many soldiers do they have in their territory?"

"My lord, a baron can usually support more than two hundred soldiers, while a knight can only support a maximum of twenty or so."

Are all these soldiers like you?

"It's different, sir. I am a guard of the Baron, I have a family, and I live in town. Among soldiers, I am at least a captain. Many ordinary soldiers are selected and trained from orphans or slaves."

He's from a respectable family.

Li Mosi looked at Ziwang again.

"Okay, I understand. You can rejoin the team now."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Ziwang circle back to the front of the group from the side, Ziyi spoke anxiously.

"Master, the knight in the far north has returned, and he still has a stone wall. Should we still attack him?"

It seems like I can't search the other side's warehouse anymore?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Zi'an spoke.

"That knight no longer has his dragon horse and armor, but I have the bow my master made; I'm more powerful than him!"

Zi Yi looked up at her.

You were clearly talking about the stone wall, weren't you?

"I'm not afraid."

Li Mosi waved her hand.

"Even if that knight ran back, he left some soldiers at home, so there would only be a dozen or so in total. Besides, aren't there knightly territories on both sides? They must have warehouses there. They should have stored quite a lot of things."

Zi Yi nodded: "Shall we go take a look tomorrow?"

"We definitely need to take a look first."

Hagi Saint, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of the three masters and disciples.

"I'm tired, can I not go tomorrow?"

Haki Saint said it himself.

Of course...

"no."

Li Mosi shook her head.

"Even if Zi'an has to carry you, you have to go tomorrow."

"Huh? Okay!"

Li Mosi raised her hand to cover Haji Saint's mouth, and looked at her two disciples as she made arrangements.

"Alright. Ziyi, you stay at the tribe tomorrow and oversee their work. Zian and I will take a team of pole-wielding warriors over there to check things out."

"good!"

Zi'an cheered, then remembered another question.

"Master, with so many new people in our tribe, shouldn't we build more houses?"

Zi Yi nodded in agreement with her idea.

"really."

Li Mosi nodded.

With so many people, there's no room for anyone to squeeze in.

That evening, he and two of his disciples revised the blueprints.

They doubled the size of the city and designed larger communal sleeping areas for the newcomers, making it more suitable for children to sleep together.

They also provided the prisoners with a large communal sleeping area.

The next morning, based on the previous day's achievements, Zi Yi divided the team into two more teams of pole vaulters.

However, the craftsman goblins need to make the tools for building houses first, so they can't get the poles yet.

However, seeing that everyone except the overseers had to work, the new warriors weren't in a hurry.

After all this fighting, humans can't possibly fight back, can they?

With Ziwan's assistance, Zian put on the noble's breastplate and shoulder guards.

Li Moss assigned tasks and explained the goals to the newcomers: they were to make horse jerky and transport building materials.

Zi Yi ordered the team of floaters led by Clever Boy and Crack Fang to obey Li Mosi's orders.

"Chief! The water and meat are ready!"

Several goblins carrying over twenty leather water jugs and a large bag of chopped smoked meat walked over to Zi Yi's side.

"Take this to the elder with me."

Zi Yi, along with a group of goblins, handed over the water bottle and food to Li Mosi.

He looked around and couldn't help but speak.

"Master, aren't these too few people?"

He remembered that his late teacher had said yesterday that more than eighty soldiers had escaped back!

"That's enough."

Li Mosi accepted the water and food.

"Our mission this time is reconnaissance; bringing too many people would easily expose us."

With everything prepared, Li Mosi, along with Haji Saint, led the team off.
