There is no cheat code for reincarnation? Then I will create one myself!

"I want to know, how did the first goblins appear? And where did they appear?"

Viscount Hocas and Master Bocolangqi looked at each other and both saw a firm will in Shuichi's eyes.

Viscount Hocas thought about it and finally decided to tell the truth.

"To be honest, I don't know whether goblins have appeared in other places, but as far as I know, this goblin first appeared near the village of my vassal, Knight Baudelaire, who escaped alone after a bloody battle." Viscount Hocas told the speculation about the goblins' initial appearance in one breath: "To be more precise, it was not until they attacked the village for the first time that we knew that a kind of green-skinned ferocious creature was occupying my territory and killing my people. According to my analysis with the master, they should have been hiding for almost a year. At first, they were just small-scale attacks and did not dare to approach human villages... In recent months, they have grown stronger and dared to attack villages... As for the origin... I think you should be able to guess it."

"..."

Is it really a shadow beast?

By reading the bald man's diary, Shuichi did get a lot of information.

For example, if the shadow beasts sealed in the relic card are not retrieved for a long time, there is a high probability that they will rebel.

This time will increase or decrease based on the strength of the controller compared to the shadow beast.

However, there is usually a minimum of 1 hour.

Unless the master is very weak, or the shadow beast is too strong, it is basically difficult to break the one-hour control time.

If the shadow beasts escape the seal, they will gradually merge with this world as they live in it longer.

The rules of the world will also give the shadow beasts feedback when they integrate into the world, allowing them to better adapt to life in the new world.

For example, rebuilding the body of the shadow beast...

Take Goblins, for example.

When a sealed goblin dies, it will simply turn into a ball of black mist, leaving nothing behind.

But if this goblin is lucky enough to break free from the seal, it will slowly turn into a real living creature, and then... act according to its own instincts.

To put it bluntly, the instinct of a goblin is to kill and fuck.

So the goblin acted according to its instinct to kill and fuck, killing any male creature that was not as strong as itself within its sight.

The females are dragged back to the cave to reproduce.

When the goblin population grows to a certain size, it becomes difficult for the resources in the wild to satisfy them.

If they want to develop at this time, they will inevitably encounter the real overlord of this world, humans...

Xiuyi's face was filled with dissatisfaction: "So, was it some bastard who released it on purpose, or did it suddenly die, and the goblins didn't have time to retrieve it?"

"It's all possible."

Master Bokolanqi made a solemn summary. What is the difference between saying it and not saying it?

Based on human nature, it is possible that people release animals intentionally.

Xiuyi wanted to ask if it was Viscount Hocas’s enemies who deliberately released the creatures to cause this disaster?

However, considering the current situation, the threat of goblins can be said to be imminent, and the reasons for their appearance can be investigated after the hidden dangers are dealt with.

Because this is bound to be a long and most likely fruitless choice.

The origin of the goblins is a mystery, so let's ignore it for now.

Viscount Hocas briefly told Xiuyi about the next military plan.

This was Viscount Hocas's original plan.

Viscount Horcas had a total of eleven knights as vassals, and each knight managed a village.

In addition to the necessary personnel left behind, each of these villages can send a team of 20 soldiers to join the goblin hunting operation.

Let me explain here that the title of knight can be considered as a member of the nobility, but the title itself cannot be inherited.

Therefore, knights can be called knights, but strictly speaking, if their next generation cannot keep up with the lord, their wealth and glory will only be a bag of gold.

So even though Viscount Hocas sealed off eleven villages, he could take them back at any time.

The loss of those two villages was as painful as digging out a piece of his flesh.

In addition to the villages managed by knights, Viscount Horcas also has seven directly governed villages and two directly governed towns that are 50% smaller than Boulder Town.

These villages and towns can send a certain number of soldiers to join this battle.

Together with the approximately 1500 mercenaries recruited, the total number of troops available to Viscount Hocas this time is approximately 2200.

The goblin's lair is currently tentatively located at Stone Tower Mountain, 35 kilometers northwest of Boulder Town.

The reason is that the three villages that Viscount Horcas had previously attacked by goblins were the villages closest to Stone Tower Mountain.

In fact, apart from the fact that the goblin's nest is most likely in Stone Tower Mountain, Viscount Hocas has no other clues for the time being. He can only rely on the clumsy method of searching the mountain on a large scale to find the goblins.

This is also the main reason why Viscount Horcas summoned a large number of mercenaries in the name of bear hunting.

"I've said it before, the goblin's nest has always been well hidden. If you can only rely on stupid methods to search the mountain, you'd better be prepared to return empty-handed." Master Bocolanqi shook his head, not very approving of Viscount Hocas's reckless decision to search the mountain.

Xiuyi thought about it and felt that the goblin problem might be more serious than he thought.

Because from the perspective of time, the goblins on Knight Soma's side might have been separated from Knight Hocas's side.

If not... then the problem is even more serious... because if the goblins on Knight Soma's side were not separated from Viscount Hocas's side, then it means that at least two different nobles' territories were invaded by goblins.

In other words, the goblin invasion was not an accident, but a man-made disaster!

Xiuyi was so confused that he could only think about how to find the goblins: "Didn't you send scouts or hunters into the mountains to search?"

"I have tried. I have issued a bounty order, but... the results are either fruitless or completely missing." Viscount Horcas frowned. "But this makes me more certain that the goblin's lair is indeed in Stone Tower Mountain."

Shita Mountain is also a big mountain. Goblins can dig holes, so they are likely to hide inside the mountain. As long as they don’t want to be found, it is really difficult for humans to find them.

Even if a scout found the entrance to the goblin's lair, he would probably be killed by the goblin sentinels lying in ambush in the dark.

There are also traps that are hard to guard against...

According to the goblins' reproduction rate, they will become stronger with each passing day... If they are really allowed to continue hiding in the dark, maybe a hundred thousand goblins will appear in a year or two.

The prerequisite is that there is enough food and female animals in the mountains to support their breeding needs.

Shuichi struggled to think about the habits of the goblins.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he had an idea.

"I say, maybe I can find a way to find the goblin's lair!"
