The sacrificial beast, though dangerous, is also the guardiay of the Northern s.

  With the s crocodile king around, no h-level Magical Beasts would dare ehe Northern s.

  But today, they withe s crocodile king being a mount for the Goblins.

  "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

  "How could this happen?"

  The Lizardmen found it hard to accept that mere Goblins could achieve such a feat.

  Mere Goblins had mao subdue the s crocodile king.

  "Gobu Meng, Gobu Meng!"

  As Li Meng rode Yue'e closer to the isnd.

  The Goblins on the shore excitedly shouted in unison.

  They looked at the boss on the back of the giant crocodile with nothing but fervor in their eyes.

  Hearing the unified shouts of the Goblin underlings on the shore, Li Meng grinned.

  He loved the fervent cheers of the Goblin underlings.

  Uheir fervent gaze, Li Me a very stroion.

  It was as if some power within him was awakening.

  And that power was gradually making him stronger.

  Amidst the attention of the crowd, Li Meng rode the giant s crocodile king ashore.

  The Goblins on the shore looked i Yue'e, who resembled a mountain of flesh.

  Though they shouted fervently.

  Their instincts drove them to step back repeatedly.

  Li Meng stood up from Yue'e's back.

  He raised the Big Iron Rod high with his right hand.

  "Ha ha ha!"

  Li Meng burst into loud ughter.

  His booming ughter echoed across the isnd.

  The Goblins' shouts immediately ged.

  All the Goblins began ughing "ha ha ha" loudly.

  "Ha ha ha!"

  The Goblins on the shore surrounded Yue'e, ughing wildly.

  Their ughter was so joyful, with a hint of madness.

  Some Goblins were so amused they rolled on the ground.

  Others clutched their bellies, ughiily.

  Yue'e, looking at the small Goblins around, had a trace of fusion in its eyes.

  It didn't uand what these Goblins were doing.

  The Lizardmen not far away silently watched and listened.

  The size of the crocodile on the shore firmed the identity of the s crocodile king.

  After a while, the ughter on the north shore of the isnd subsided.

  Li Meng leaped off Yue'e, nding steadily on the ground.

  He patted Yue'e's massive forelimb.

  "Yue'e, go py nearby. The Goblins and Lizardmen are my underlings, don't harm them!"

  Yue'e's enormous eyes g its boss beside it.

  Then it turs massive body and slowly crawled into the water.

  "Boss, you're amazing!"

  Seeing the big crocodile leave, Gobu Zhang quickly ran forward.

  But Gobu Sheng was even faster.

  Gobu Sheng slid to his knees, bowing at Li Meng's feet.

  He kissed the top of Li Meng's foot with a fawning expression.

  "Boss, you're s, I'm about to explode!"

  As he spoke, Gobu Sheng's body suddenly shivered.

  Li Meng, speechless, kicked Gobu Sheng over.

  "Alright, get to work!"

  The kicked-oblin scrambled away.

  The surrounding Goblins also dispersed in a hurry.

  And so, the onoisy isnd became retively quiet.

  In the following days, everything in the Northern s remained as usual.

  The stru of the wooden fortress proceeded in an orderly fashion.

  Every day, noticeable ges occurred on the isnd.

  The wooden walls surrounding the isnd grew visibly.

  Time passed bit by bit, day by day.

  Another new day dawned, with the sun shining brightly over the Northern s.

  In the forest on the eastern shore of the Northern s.

  A rge area of trees he shore had been felled.

  Many Lizardmen and Goblins were w in the forest.

  Though the two races couldn't unicate verbally.

  Their long-term cooperation had fostered a sense of uanding.

  Goblins excelled at chopping, so they hahe logging work.

  Lizardmen, with their strong arms, mahe sawing work.

  Processing the fallen trees into logs.

  "Gray Scale, have you found out anything?"

  In a messy clearing, Gray Scale and Bck Scale were sawing wood.

  The saw made a "panting" sound as they pulled it bad forth.

  Gray Scale g the western s and shook his head.

  "The Goblins won't let us leave here, we 't get any news from outside."

  Bck Scale's face darkened, remaining silent.

  It had been almost a month, and even a fool could sense something was wrong.

  So much wood was being transported to the depths of the s.

  The Goblins were definitely up to somethiive.

  "E, the rotation period is almost here!"

  Gray Scale's reassurance made Bck Scale take a deep breath.

  Yes, the rotation period was almost here.

  By then, they would be free.

  Ohey returo the tribe, things would be much easier.

  "Bck Scale, do you think the Bck Mountain tribe will e?"

  Gray Scale's expression was plicated.

  He hoped the Bck Mountain tribe would send an army to support the Northern s.

  Yet he also didn't want the Bck Mountain tribe to appear.

  The Goblins in the forest were simply too powerful.

  If they failed, there would be no space for Lizardmen to survive in the Goblin Forest.

  "They will e, they definitely will."

  Bck Scale was certain about the arrival of the Bck Mountain tribe.

  ------

  Goblin Forest.

  Northern s, wooden fortress.

  Time flew by, and two months passed quietly.

  Two months of stru had made the isnd in the s disappear.

  In its pce stood a massive wooden fortress.

  The wooden fortress stretched about nine hundred meters north to south.

  And about seven hundred meters east to west.

  A nearly seveer-high wooden wall stood in the s.

  Fifteeer-high watchtowers dotted the wooden wall.

  A watchtower stood every fifty meters.

  Looking at the wooden wall, one could see many Goblins standing guard and patrolling.

  Though the watchtowers were currently empty.

  It wouldn't be long before a three-bow ballista ced on them.

  Another new day dawned, with the sun shining brightly over the Northern s.

  Ochtower of the wooden wall on the northern shore of the wooden fortress.

  "Gobu Yi hasn't returned yet?"

  Standing ochtower, Li Meng gazed at the space within the wooden fortress.

  After two months of stru, the wooden fortress was 80% plete.

  Looking ihe fortress, various wooden houses stood.

  There were dwellings, pces to live.

  There were warehouses, pces to store miseous items.

  To facilitate water access, two als were dug within the fortress.

  Due to the humid air of the s, Goblins disliked su enviro.

  After this event, the wooden fortress wouldn't house a rge military presence.

  Only a small number of Goblins would be statiohere.

  "Boss, Gobu Yi hasn't returned yet!"

  Gobu Sheng respoo the boss, gng southward at the s.

  Gobu Sheng and Gobu Zhang stood behind Li Meng.

  Five days ago, Li Meng had sent Gobu Yi to the White Scale tribe.

  Sihe White Scale tribe only had women and childre.

  Li Meng wasn't in a hurry t the Lizardmen from the White Scale tribe over.

  Li Meng turo look at the southern s, deep in thought.

  The three-bow ballista was on its way, arriving in half a month.

  The Bck Mountain tribe's army would take at least two to three months to arrive.

  The timing was still suffit, o rush.

  The future predicted by the simuted life didn't have time information.

  But the Bck Mountain tribe's arrival in the Northern s was after the rotation period.

  The timing could roughly be estimated.
