Having a map really changed everything.
Now they didn’t need to take risks by exploring the wilderness, they could just locate their enemies and ambush when they went looking for food .
That day alone, they had conquered 2 bear dens , one dire wolf den and 2 dark panther dens . They were now just outside the smallest goblin settlement in the area .
“ Finally, I was getting tired of fighting clueless beasts who only know how to go berserk and dash “
“ Don’t be like that Ralph, we got ourselves 5 beast den creation orders .
They gave our village tons of xp “
He only needed to improve the village buildings, build a smithy and more houses for his village to be upgraded .
“ What’s the scouting report ? “
One of the soldiers bowed and proceeded:
“ Lord , there are around 75 goblins in this village with 50 being able to fight and the other 25 being women and elderly “
Goblins could become adult within two days after being born, so there was no such thing as a baby goblin .
“ Any information on their professions ? “
“ They are all ranged attackers lord , some of them are equipped with wooden bows and stonehead arrows while the others can use fire magic “
Jamie was very surprised, they were lucky to have found this goblin settlement while they are still weak .
With such professions they could have been dangerous later on .
“ Can we take them on lord? , if we include the lizardmen there are only 14 of us “
“ Chickening out, Ralph ? “
Ralph didn’t like being teased but since he was the lord there was nothing he could do . He endured his mocking like a good boy !
“ Since they all have ranged professions, we just need attack them head on and kill them in close combat “
14 against 50 ? Even though goblins were weak the odds didn’t favour them !
Jamie summoned two rock shards using his skill and then merged them into an even bigger rock shard by using “ Enlargement “ , the huge shard was send flying towards the biggest building in their village. Once the attack fell half of the building was demolished and the unaware goblins were left dumbfounded.
“ Enter shield wall formation, kill as many of them before they re group “
The heavy spearmen marched inside the village with Jamie and 3 lizardmen warriors in the middle of the formation circle. Ralph on the other hand didn’t join the attack and decided to remain hidden and assassinate the goblin chieftain .

A goblin’s height was about 150 metres ( 5ft) , which was why the heavy spearmen were disposing of them without any problem .
A stray fire ball would come flying at them every now and then but they couldn’t even scratch their shield wall . Trained combatants will always triumph in battle !
“ Swift Bullet “
Jamie was firing those purple beams every time he managed to see an opening.
And the 3 lizardmen who had already learned how to channel aura, were killing 3 goblins at a time .
“ Open Wall “
2 men removed their shields from the shieldwall formation allowing Jamie to attack with another giant rock shard .
“ So thats why the goblins were not re grouping “
A slightly taller goblin holding a wooden staff was pinned on the tree behind his destroyed house , it appeared that Jamie’s giant rock shard had hit his belly when he randomly threw it . The goblin chieftain was drawing his last breath !
“ Stop attacking them “
The goblins were scared, their small green hands were shaking but they still held their wooden bows , as insignificant as they were .
“ Come out Ralph , secure the village .
Take care of any wild animals drawn by the heavy scent of blood “
He walked closer to the dying chieftain which seemed to Be trying to communicate with him , but to Jamie it just sounded like the noises of a dying insect . He wouldn’t be able to understand what he says before he conquers them, the system didn’t allow communication between humans and outlanders before one conquers the other .
This measure was taken to prevent players from ‘ tricking ‘ or ‘ fooling’ the not so intelligent creatures .
PERSONAL NOTIFICATION
“ Green Oak village wants to surrender to you “
Jamie raised his eyebrow, they actually decided to surrender even though they still had around 30 fighting goblins .He guessed that losing their chieftain made them lose hope and drive !
“ Accept “
The village order left its position and fell on his hands , the buildings magically disappeared and the goblins put down their weapons .
“ Congratulations, you are now available to upgrade Kraken village to medium grade village “
“ Available my Ass , I can’t without building a smithy and upgrading the already existing buildings “
The lack of blacksmiths had pissed him off a lot, the village would have to go through a lot of changes before they could upgrade. What if someone upgraded before him and made him lose the first place rewards again ? He had to get his hands on a blacksmith at all costs !
“ What do we do with all these goblins ? “
“ Take them to Pompei and have them go through the Mining skill manual , they will be working at the dire wolf cave mining ores from now on “
Since he already had 45 existing goblins, he could freely upgrade this village by merging its village order with the dire wolf den order .
Originally he couldn’t do it since he needed goblins to mine but now that was no longer a problem .
After picking up all the ‘ valuables ‘ from the already demolished goblin village , they headed back to relocate.
“ Do you wish to merge silver grade goblin village with bronze grade direwolf den “
After confirming , the two orders broke and the light circles that remained released aura images of a huge white wolf and a giant goblin holding a wooden club .
The images first seemed to just stare at each other with the dire wolf slightly showing the goblin his teeth .
The goblin image put down his club and went to pat the dire wolf image’s head .
The wolf then allowed him to sit on his back and thats where the images disappeared.
WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT
“ Congratulations to player BloodVenerable for being the first player to merge two creation orders . The system awards him with 25 labourer villagers that will spawn in 7 IGT hours “
The announcement would have made Jamie quite happy if he paid attention to it, but his mind was occupied with what happened next . The two images that disappeared merged into a single light that materialised an order out of nothing.
His new village order fell down on his palm and for the first time, he felt satisfied with what he had achieved.
