Chapter 75 is about knights.
Just as Li Mosi finished telling Zi'an about the past experiences of Zi Yi's tribe, the goblin with the huge eyes in front of them knelt down.
Li Mosi looked completely bewildered.
Even Zi'an, who was inwardly reflecting on his feelings, was drawn over.
Zi Yi did not answer immediately.
Big Eyes looked up, then turned to the goblins behind him and said, "Quick, join the chieftain's tribe! We can defeat the humans!"
The group of goblins, who hadn't slept for days, finally realized what was happening.
The leader is different now!
The tribe is different now!
They all knelt down: "Leader! Please lead us!"
Zi Yi glanced at Li Mosi subconsciously.
Then he nodded: "I'm glad you're back. Get up, all of you."
"Thank you, Chief!"
Seeing that the goblins had all stood up, the atmosphere returned to normal, and a goblin ran out of the large cave to Ziyi's side.
"Chief, the food is ready."
Zi Yi nodded: "Then let's eat first."
Big Eyes pulled an axe from his fur coat: "Chief, we always carry metal tools with us; we haven't been able to bear throwing them away."
"Take them out, just put them over there, get ready to eat."
The food was quickly distributed, and the returning goblins ate with great enthusiasm.
"Wow! This is wild boar meat!"
"The bread smells so good!"
"There's wheat in it!"
"Cough cough cough cough..."
"Wow? Why are you crying?"
Zi'an ate and finally heard the whole story.
She was so excited that she drank all the food in one gulp, licked the bowl clean in a few moments, picked up the spear thrower, and pretended to stand up.
Li Mosi pulled Zi'an back.
Zi'an whispered, "Master, let me go fight with them."
Li Mosi confirmed that the surrounding noise was enough to provide cover, and said to Zi'an, "The enemy is at least a day's journey away, what's the rush?"
"Exactly, is that a fleshy lump on your neck?"
The three, master and disciples, turned to look at the Holy Maiden. Zi Yi and Zi An said in unison, "Shut up!"
The saintess wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Li Mosi's words.
"Come on, hold your breath. I'm going to force-feed you the food!"
"No! Wild boar meat is too... gurgle!"
The saintess sheds a few tears every time she eats meat.
Wild boar meat is so pungent!
At night, everyone returned to their caves.
Li Mosi lit a bonfire, and the firelight illuminated the glistening tears in the saintess's eyes.
Zi'an was confused: "Weren't you quite obedient the other day? Why are you being naughty now that you've added meat to your diet?"
"It would be better if there were no meat at all!"
The saintess, bound in the same old spot, was very excited.
"You... sigh, never mind. What kind of meat could a bunch of savages like you possibly eat?"
She couldn't explain it to this group of people.
Bear-beastmen are basically pure savages, and goblins are even more like beasts.
As for the craftsman who was suspected to be a descendant of overseas nobles, he also mentioned that his family had declined.
They might resemble wild men.
Li Mosi glanced at Hagi Saint sideways, but said nothing.
He didn't even need to think to guess what this guy was talking about.
It was probably a castrated pig or a young pig, cow, or sheep.
The meat didn't have much of a fishy or gamey smell.
But ordinary people in the manor don't have this kind of opportunity. Even blacksmiths, the most skilled workers in the manor, have never eaten it.
The original owner had only seen the lord eat at the festival banquet after the autumn harvest.
Not to mention that the saint's diet should also contain many seasonings from various places.
"As long as there's food, that's fine. Let's get down to business first."
Li Mosi steered the conversation back on track.
Zi Yi nodded: "Master, how should we deal with those humans?"
"To do anything, you must first understand the current situation."
Li Mosi looked at Zi'an as she spoke.
Did you see any soldiers on horseback before you set off?
The original owner had never seen it.
Zi'an shook his head: "I was only focused on eating at the time. They brought out a huge pile of food and told me to eat as much as I could."
"..."
The leader's cave was silent for a few seconds.
Zi'an felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the top of his head, his ear.
Helpless, Li Mosi began to conduct a general analysis with his two disciples.
"Let me first talk about the problems we are currently facing."
Three pairs of eyes focused on him.
Li Mosi extended one finger.
"First, there's the issue of our food. If we remove those three donkeys, we'll only have enough food for one more day."
Donkeys are docile and versatile live food that can be preserved, so it's naturally better to keep them.
The saintess asked in confusion, "Don't you still have so many mushrooms?"
The three of them, master and disciples, did not look at her.
Where can you eat mushrooms as a meal?
Not to mention that a battle is about to begin!
However, with Zi'an around, it's always manageable to handle Li Mosi taking her hunting if necessary.
Li Mosi extended her second finger.
"Secondly, there's the enemy we'll be facing next. All we know right now is that they have a large number of soldiers, including mounted ones; we don't have any other details."
Zi'an touched his ear again.
Li Mosi extended her third finger.
"Finally, we are not stable internally either. Those prisoners who were originally slaves, especially the wounded ones, are obedient to us. But those guys who were originally slave hunters have other ideas in their hearts."
Zi Yi's eyes widened when he heard the beginning, but he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the prisoners were not obedient enough.
After listening to Li Mosi's words, the saintess nodded.
Zi'an raised his head: "I'm very good at hunting, I can hunt."
Li Moss waved her hand: "I'm not too worried about the food."
He never worried about that.
Ever since he hunted his first wild boar with [Leshan Water], he knew that food for the winter was readily available to him.
Zi Yi nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing with this.
Zi'an also thought of how fast Li Mosi had hunted the wild boar yesterday and nodded.
For Li Moss, the third question was a little more troublesome.
But with so many goblins now, plus Koyasu, it's not too difficult to defend against.
The real problem is the second one.
Just how strong is the enemy?
The original owner knew, or rather, every citizen knew, that nobles possessed extraordinary power.
It is said that Baron Talis could eat an entire table full of food by himself, and that he was naturally incredibly strong, able to easily lift a fortress.
There may be some exaggeration involved, but the fact that nobles possessed extraordinary powers is undeniable.
What about the mounted warriors?
Li Mosi turned to the frowning saintess: "Those soldiers on horseback, they shouldn't be knights, right?"
He had already subconsciously ruled out the "knight" option, because nobles should never enter the "Relics of the Gods".
With the Baron's wealth, training a few mounted soldiers from his private army shouldn't be a problem.
But the goblin tribe has little room for error these days.
We must be extremely cautious.
The saintess frowned and slowly raised her head.
She and Li Mosi looked at each other for a few seconds, then shook their heads.
"It's a knight."
The three of them, master and disciples, all looked puzzled.
Zi'an asked in a low voice, "What is a knight?"
Zi Yi asked in confusion, "Are knights and mounted soldiers different?"
Li Mosi glanced at the two disciples who couldn't distinguish between "knights" and "mounted soldiers," and didn't even know what a "knight" was.
"A soldier on horseback is still a soldier, but a knight is a nobleman."
After giving a brief explanation, he turned to Haki Saint and raised his own question.
Why would nobles enter this site of divine war?
The saintess looked disdainful.
"What kind of nobles are knights?"
