Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats - Chapter 177
‘Did you end up counting the plants?’, Shin asked with a funny gaze.
He was indeed confused by that. Weren’t humans the only one lived there?
That was something he didn’t know but just assumed. Of course, humans were a highly intelligent species and were greedy too. They even tried to show tendencies of dominating others.
So based on that, it wouldn’t be unusual to see slaves present in the kingdom and probably the total population was more precisely because of that. But for a kingdom, that was still quite less.
No wonder it was a kingdom with so little population despite having lost of riches.
Shin received all this info from the system soon enough and he understood everything in detail – about the slaves and their uses too.
There were 3 types of slaves present in the kingdom, in fact, in the whole world.
One – the ones that were bought and used for pleasure: mainly sexual pleasure and entertainment.
Second – there were those who worked as housemaids or work maids and helped in other chores such as building, maintenance, and service.
Third – the battle slaves that were used in battles of the nation.
For Shin, the third was the most troublesome one because, with that, the number of people that he would be fighting would increase. Also, he might end up making unnecessary enemies.
For example, if a beast-man or a demihuman was to send in the battle and if Shin were to kill him, the nation which was governed by the beasts and demi-humans might get enraged and might declare him as an enemy.
“Sigh, how troublesome.”
Shin wasn’t comfortable with all this. However, he couldn’t give up either after all there was no one to look after Aella if he were to give up at the moment.
Also, he had to fulfill his dream of building a kingdom, an empire where he would rule everyone – just thinking about this gave him goosebumps. It might have been on a whim but he really did want his own base.
“Well, go and declare everyone that I will be leading them soon enough.”
“Tell them, I need everyone outside within half an hour.”, Shin said.
The goblin mage was surprised to see him say this after sighing continuously.
‘So he really was just planning of the attack, and here I doubted him for escaping…’, the mage felt bad for some reason.
‘No more. I won’t doubt him anymore and will serve him with my absolute loyalty!’
Right after deciding that, the mage started to run towards the cave to gather everyone and announce about the war which was going to take place soon.
Shin just stood there and kept on staring at the wilderness in front of him.
He also had other thoughts – mainly regarding Terran, Alira, Kaily, and the elves whom he had taken under him.
‘It’s good to let them be for now…’
Initially, he thought that they might be harmed if some strong beast were to attack, but then again, they had warding items to prevent beasts from coming their way. Of course, those items won’t matter to strong beasts, and that Shin knew since he met a wolf, which was strong, despite having the warding effect.
Soon, all the goblins walked out of the caves and banded together forming a crowd. There were a lot of them.
Shin was bewildered by their numbers at first however this seemed pretty normal since weaker races would usually stay close to each other to protect themselves.
‘System, give me the info on these goblins…’
He wanted to know everything about them and the number of them that were present. How many of them could fight and how many were strong, exceptional, or had some sort of talent.
‘Ding’
[ Mini Goblin Army ]
[ Total Number of goblins: 5037 ]
[ 8 goblin categories – Goblin Mages, Goblin Warriors, She-goblins(Goblette), Goblin scouts, goblin guardians, goblin caretakers, Hunters, Elders ]
[ Goblin Mages -> Goblins that have special intelligence and can use magic to some extent ]
[ No. of goblin mages -> 05 (awakened), 20(non-awakened/babies) ]
[ Goblin Warriors-> Goblins that use weapons or brute strength to fight. ]
[ No. of goblin warriors -> 1391 (awakened), 400 (non-awakened/babies) ]
[ She goblins/Goblette -> Female goblins who take care of the baby goblins ]
[ No. of Goblette -> 1200 ]
[ Goblin scouts -> Goblins that work as scouts to find new areas or other dangers ]
[ No. of goblin scouts -> 250 ]
[ Goblin caretakers -> The goblins that look after the habitat and place and help in making them better ]
[ No. of goblin caretakers -> 800 ]
[ Hunter Goblins -> Goblins that hunt prey or find suitable eatables ]
[ No. of hunter goblins -> 771 ]
[ Elder goblins -> The goblins that are too old to do any job but have intellect equal to goblin mages ]
[ No. of elder goblins -> 200 ]
After seeing all these stats, Shin was awed. He wasn’t particularly happy because the number of goblins that could fight was quite less.
‘Hmm, I have to do something with this number…’
Even if all the goblins were to fight, they would still be 6 times less than the population of the kingdom of Loria.
Therefore, they had a great numerical disadvantage. On top of that, humans had great minds and thus great techniques. Therefore it would be weird to tell that a single goblin could best a human!
“Here me out.”, all of a sudden Shin raised his voice.
The goblins that were waiting for him to say something were surprised. All of them now looked at Shin.
Well, some might not understand what he was going to say, but still, he would try his best to convey what he had to say.
He could even tell the mages to explain it to them since they were much more intelligent.
“I will be separating you all into groups and then will be giving you separate tasks.”
“You all will be responsible for different things. I will teach some things and demonstrate some others.”
“I will have you all train for a total of 5 days and after that, I will give names to those who excelled!”
“…”
