Goblin Reincarnation in Another World (Anime/Manga)

Page 52

"If you lose, you have to accept the punishment. Be prepared."

Xin Hai pouted her rosy lips. Now she understood that this competition was a deliberate scheme by Niu Zida to suppress her, probably to establish his authority when he left. With that thought, Xin Hai stopped arguing and decided to show her obedience to put Niu Zida at ease.

"Then, next up is the punishment of spanking."

Niu Zida looked at Xin Hai and Hei Xue Ji, and said with a wicked smile...

When they woke up the next morning, both Shinkai and Kuroyukihime felt a burning sensation in their buttocks, and even their walking posture was strange. After all, the punishment they received the night before was that each of them received 30 lashes on their buttocks. Although the whips were specially made and wouldn't cause that much damage, they still felt pain as they were left red and swollen.

Niu Zida led his men on a brief tour of Palu Island, especially asking Chunxue to check if there were any other settlements. After checking, they found that apart from a few scattered households, there were no large-scale villages on the island. So Niu Zida and his men drove these people out one by one, totaling more than 30 households. Regardless of their race, all these people were incorporated into the western village.

A few days later, the Haiji Island army responsible for taking over finally landed. This time, only 300 people came, far fewer than the 3000 people that could be mobilized last time. It seems that this is about the limit of the regular troop strength that Haiji Island can mobilize.

Niu Zida then understood that the reason Xin Hai mobilized 3000 troops for the first battle was to increase his own leverage and make him think that Xin Hai's Haiqi Island itself had considerable strength. No wonder that group of people did so poorly in the battle against the demi-human village. Most of them probably had never been on the battlefield and were just brought in to make up the numbers. Xin Hai is really good at scheming, and every move he makes is full of profound meaning.

After the Haiqi Island army landed, Niu Zida didn't rush them to start operations. He had spent the last few days playing with the maids, and Xin Hai, Kuroyukihime, Misato Shizuku, and Yoru were all in their maternity leave. After another two or three days, once all the maids had given birth, Niu Zida finally ordered Xin Hai to allow the Haiqi Island army to officially begin accepting them. By this time, the number of goblins on the island, including this batch of births, had reached 270.

According to the initial statistics from Da Mao Suo Yue, the two villages on Palu Island have a total of 9807 villagers, including 1703 orcs, 3840 orcs, 2984 goblins, 80 elves, and 1200 dark elves. There are approximately 5000 males and about 4800 females.

Under Xin Hai's organization, the two villages selected a total of about 500 young and middle-aged male orcs, half-orcs, and elves/dark elves as a mixed force, following the principle of one out of three. This force was organized by Xin Hai into the Second Detachment of Hai Zhi Island. The First Detachment was composed of his own human troops from Hai Zhi Island, while the Third Detachment was composed of goblins born from the maids left behind by Niu Zida. This detachment was also a secret detachment, unknown to others.

Of course, in order to better control the troops on Palu Island, Xin Hai also transferred 100 of the 300 soldiers from Haizhi Island to the Third Detachment, giving the Third Detachment a mixed-race force of 600 men. This was also to strengthen control over this newly incorporated force.

After the population and military forces were mobilized, a preliminary land survey was conducted. Xin Hai stipulated that Palu Island should pay 3000 catties of grain every year, and at the end of the year, it should also pay a certain percentage of fish and meat as part of the tribute.

The reorganization of Palu Island was initially completed in about a week. Xin Hai then ordered the troops to leave Palu Island and garrison on Haizhi Island. 200 human soldiers were left on the island to guard it. As for the goblin army, they had already left with Niu Zida and returned to the Witch Island. During the land survey and the inspection of Da Mao Suo, they did not let the human troops discover their presence to avoid spreading the news of Xin Hai's alliance with the goblins back to the island.

Xin Hai went to the Witch Island after finishing his work and told Niu Zida about the arrangements. After listening, Niu Zida considered it for a while and said:

"It would be better not to have the human army of Haizhi Island stationed on Palu Island all year round. It would be better to have the goblin troops stationed there. This way, we can avoid conflict between demi-humans and humans. Besides, Miko Island is too small. If the number of goblins increases further, it will definitely not be able to accommodate everyone in the future. Moreover, even if it could accommodate everyone, constantly transporting large amounts of supplies here would arouse suspicion."

Upon hearing Niu Zida's opinion, Xin Hai also felt it made a lot of sense, so he adjusted the deployment. This time, the Haizhi Island army withdrew, and the goblin army was stationed on Palu Island instead.

Chapter 165

Actually, there's another advantage to doing this. If the human troops are stationed on Palu Island year-round, once they learn the truth about defeating the Golden King Beast, they'll likely find out about Xin Hai's collusion with the goblins. This is something Xin Hai absolutely cannot tolerate. As the noble current priestess of Haiqi Island, if people find out that she sold her body to gain power, it will definitely greatly affect her prestige. Not to mention that she has also sacrificed many young and beautiful priestesses to gain Niu Zida's support.

After Xin Hai had made all the arrangements, Niu Zida left Haiqi Island with his four maids: Yole, Misato Shizuku, Kuroyukihime, and Kamimoto Enka. The other priestesses who had been touched by Niu Zida were left on Priestess Island and forbidden from returning to Haiqi Island. Xin Hai also arranged for his trusted confidant, Rokusuke, to forge travel documents for Niu Zida and his group, allowing them to land at the port of the Duchy of Hetherink, pass through inspection, and return directly to the Dore Territory.

"Master, come back soon, they're still waiting for you here."

Before leaving, Xin Hai feigned reluctance in front of Niu Zida, her pure and lovely face making Niu Zida feel sorry for her. However, as soon as Niu Zida boarded the ship and left, Xin Hai mobilized all of Haiqi Island's mobile forces—the First Detachment and the Second Detachment composed of newly surrendered Palu Island demi-humans—to launch an external war, beginning to clear out the surrounding seas and numerous islands inhabited by demi-humans…

Chapter 143 Port Hatherlink

Chapter 143.

With the help of Liu Zhu, Niu Zida and his party quickly arrived at the port of the Duchy of Heatherlink. This port was named Heatherlink Port and was also the capital of the Duchy of Heatherlink.

"Mr. Liu is really amazing; he can get all sorts of paperwork done in various places."

"After all, we need to frequently come out to do things for Lord Xinhai, so we still need to have these connections."

After bidding farewell to Rokusuke, Niu Zida and his group found an inn in the port of Hetherlink to stay. It was already early September, and Niu Zida had been away from the territory of Dorei for almost half a year. Although he believed that Aponia was capable of taking full control of the territory, Niu Zida was still somewhat worried. However, the sea voyage was bumpy, and seeing his maid looking exhausted from the journey, Niu Zida could only rest first.

After resting for a day at the inn with the maids, the group decided to spend a day exploring Heatherlink Harbor before leaving. Although still worried about the territory, they had been spending most of their time in remote places like Haiqi Island, and their last trip to the capital had almost entirely involved them in incidents. Come to think of it, Niu Zida hadn't taken his maids out for a proper stroll, so this time they should at least spend a day in the city before departing. Therefore, Niu Zida left Chunxue at the inn and went out with the maids.

The Grand Duchy of Hetherlink is an important coastal trading nation, and its capital, Hetherlink Port, is a more prosperous metropolis than Inhol Port, where Niu Zida and his group landed on Haiqi Island, and is even comparable to the capital of Altaïr.

"I never expected this place in Heatherlink to be so beautiful."

The maids strolled around the streets. There were many shops that rivaled those in Altaïr's capital. Besides the pretty clothing stores, the most attractive things for girls were undoubtedly the various dessert shops. Niu Zida looked at the gold coins he had brought with him and decided to spend them on his maids. In addition to taking them to buy clothes, he naturally wanted to visit every dessert shop he could find.

To avoid being discovered, Yor wore a trench coat over Niu Zida, covering him up so no one would notice. Fortunately, it was early autumn, and the temperature was dropping. It had also rained before they arrived, making it a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings. Yor's attire was fine; if it were the height of summer, such clothing would definitely have aroused suspicion.

"This dress is really nice!"

Misato Shizuku went to a clothing store and spotted a pair of long, cropped pants that accentuated her hips and high waist, perfectly complementing her tall and slender figure. Just as she was about to pay, Niu Zida stopped her:

"Shizuku Misato, this outfit doesn't look good on you."

"How could it not look good? It suits me perfectly."

There weren't many people in the store at the moment, so no one noticed that Joel was quietly talking to Niu Zida in the corner. Shizuku Misato was a little unhappy that Niu Zida wasn't willing to buy the trousers she had chosen for her. After all, Kuroyukihime had paid for the black tulle dress and Joel's red sweater, so why couldn't she?

"This kind of clothing doesn't suit you, Shizuku Misato, it's too conservative."

"Then what should I wear? These trousers look great on my figure."

After all, Shizuku Misato has a pair of enviable, long, and beautiful legs, so she especially likes to wear fitted and tight-fitting clothes, which can also highlight her figure.

"If you ask me, I'd prefer you to wear this."

Niu Zida pointed to a spot not far away with a wicked grin. Sanxiang Shizuku looked in that direction and saw that it was a store specializing in miniskirts. However, the miniskirts were far too short, barely covering the buttocks. If you walked even slightly faster, you would probably expose yourself while wearing such a skirt.

"Only you could pick out such weird clothes, I don't want to wear them."

Misato Shizuku glanced at it and immediately refused. She thought that she wouldn't be able to wear that kind of thing outside, and even if she did, she wouldn't dare to walk. She would have to hold the skirt up with her hands, otherwise, if she took a step, her lower body would be exposed.

"That looks so good on you, I love seeing you wear it, three..."

Chapter 166

"Shizuku, you should buy that one."

"I don't want to. Besides, as your master's maid, would you want me to go out in such lewd clothes and have my private parts exposed?"

Shizuku Misato wrinkled Xiuting's nose and questioned Niu Zida with angry eyes, clearly very dissatisfied with her master's decision.

"Why don't you just let me wear this at home? Besides, we're going back to the Dore territory. How can I let you go out when you're in the castle every day? I'll make you pregnant, wearing black stockings, high heels, and a miniskirt to serve me in the castle. Hahaha, that would be so beautiful."

"Master, you're a pervert, you're disgusting."

Upon hearing Niu Zida's future plans, Misato Shizuku was so angry she couldn't speak. She originally loved wearing crisp, smart trousers that accentuated her perfect hip and waistline and straight figure. Now, however, she was being forced to wear those lewd skirts that barely covered her buttocks. Actually, Misato Shizuku wasn't averse to miniskirts, but the humiliation of being ordered to wear certain clothes was unbearable for this proud and beautiful girl.

"Master, it's really inappropriate to wear this kind of dress. It would be too embarrassing if someone saw it."

Joel, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and sided with Misato Shizuku, trying to persuade Ushiko Tatsumi. However, Ushiko Tatsumi had made up her mind and refused to change it. He forced Misato Shizuku to give up her trousers and buy a black mini-skirt and long black stockings to match her super high heels.

"This is a gift I'm giving to you, Shizuku Misato."

"You pervert, you should just die already."

After leaving the women's clothing store with the wrapped dress, Shizuku Misato was still furious and unleashed a torrent of venomous words at Ushio Tatsumi. It wasn't until they entered a confectionery shop that Shizuku Misato calmed down a bit.

"Well, the pastries at this shop are really good."

"The rich milky aroma combined with crushed peanuts, the perfect balance of creamy cheese, the crunchy texture of pine nuts, and the slightly tart sweetness of raisins—this peanut butter cake is absolutely divine! The creamy corn porridge is also fantastic, and the slightly bitter chocolate chip cookies are quite good too."

"I think this rice cake made with soybean flour is delicious. It's soft, chewy, and has a sticky texture that's similar to rice cake, but with a better taste."

"In short, everything was delicious."

It was a rare treat to enjoy so many exquisite desserts, and both Yoru and Kuroyukihime were full of praise. Even the usually quiet Kamimoto Enka agreed with them. Shizuku Misato, standing to the side, also agreed. No matter how proud a girl's personality is, it seems that girls are naturally powerless against sweets.

"Master, if you want some snacks, can I pack some to take back to Haruyuki? He's all alone at the inn, looking so pitiful."

As expected, Kuroyukihime still harbored feelings for Haruyuki. Ushiko-da snorted, unable to refuse, and feigned magnanimity, saying:

"Well, Haruyuki-kun has had a long journey with us, so it's only right to reward him. Just order some of his favorite snacks to take back with you."

"Thank you, Master."

Watching Kuroyukihime happily start ordering things for Haruyuki, Niu Zida secretly vowed that one day he would win back Kuroyukihime's body and soul, make her stop liking that pig, and make her content to be his maid. Only then could he truly possess this beautiful girl with slender black stockings and long black hair. However, simply possessing her body was far from satisfying Niu Zida's desire for conquest.

Chapter 144 Princess Charlotte

Chapter 144.

After Kuroyukihime packed up the snacks, Joel went to settle the bill. Looking at the bill, Niu Zida felt a pang of heartache. Good heavens, he had spent so much money on clothes and food in Heatherlink. Although Xin Hai had given him some gold coins before he left, he still couldn't afford to spend like this. There was nothing he could do. He only controlled two relatively poor territories, so he really didn't have much money to squander. It seemed that if he wanted to spend money, he would have to go back and improve the economy, or take over a wealthy territory.

Just as they were strolling back to the inn, they saw a procession of knights clearing the way, and the people on both sides were driven to the sides, as if some important person was about to arrive.

"Excuse me, who is coming?"

Niu Zida didn't understand, so he quietly ordered Joel to ask the person next to him. The person said with some surprise:

"Don't you know? Ah, it seems you're from out of town."

"Ah... um, we're from other territories..."

"No wonder, today is the day that Princess Charlotte, the regent of the Grand Duchy of Hetherlink, returns home. It was announced beforehand. This princess is a star that is the focus of the whole country."

So that's how it is. Wait, Niu Zida only then noticed that Heatherlink and Charlotte were the female protagonists in "Princess Lover," the beautiful girl with long pink hair, the gentle, noble, and kind Charlotte.

As expected, Niu Zida's guess was confirmed. A richly decorated carriage slowly drove through the street under the protection of guards. The carriage window opened, and a beautiful young princess waved and greeted the crowd, eliciting loud cheers. A fair, oval face, a pair of beautiful blue eyes, a high nose, long, flowing pink hair, and those large breasts—it was indeed Charlotte herself. It seemed that, just as the man had said, Charlotte was truly beloved by the people of Heatherlink.

After the princess's carriage procession had all left and the streets returned to normal, Niu Zida, nestled in Yole's arms, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"She really is a princess! Charlotte is so beautiful, it's a pity I didn't see her black stockings."

Chapter 167

. "

"Is Master starting to have some wicked ideas?"

"Huh? Where? Can't I even compliment someone's beauty? Misato Shizuku, are you jealous?"

"Every time you describe a girl like that, she's probably going to fall into your clutches."

"Misato Shizuku, don't slander me! When was it ever not voluntary on your part?"

"Although I had already given up hope on my master's character, I am still amazed at how shameless he has become today."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's going too far! As a maid, Misato Shizuku, are you showing disdain for your master?"

"Oh dear, Master can't even stand the maid's honesty anymore?"

Misato Shizuku relentlessly provoked Ushio Tatsu, and the two were on the verge of another argument. Joel, with a helpless smile, patted Ushio Tatsu's head and interrupted them, saying:

"Master, please don't argue with Miss Misato Shizuku. Let's go back to the inn."

Whenever he argued with Shizuku Misato, Ushiko-ta felt like he never had the upper hand. This time, it seemed like he was the one who got a good scolding. What was infuriating was that Yoru sided with her, so he could only angrily lie in Yoru's arms and lick her big snowballs to vent his anger.

Holding Niu Zida, she could only endure his rough treatment of her Ooyukiko. Yoru returned to the inn with the other maids. Kuroyukihime gave the sweets she brought back to Haruyuki and the easygoing coachman. The two of them had also had a hard time on this journey.

"Thank you, Kuroyukihime-senpai."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work lately, Haruyuki-kun."

Kuroyukihime wanted to say something, but was called away by Ushiko-da. She could only watch Haruyuki silently with her eyes, hoping in her heart that he could cheer up.

Back at the inn, the maids spent another night with Niu Zida. The next morning, the group prepared to leave Heatherlink Port, as Niu Zida didn't want to delay any longer and wanted to return to his territory as soon as possible.

Just like when they left, the group traveled by carriage from the port of Heatherlink. The checks were less stringent when leaving the city; they simply glanced at the customs documents to make sure everything was in order before departing. After all, they weren't cargo merchants, so the supervision wasn't as strict. If it were a caravan, they would be strictly monitored against the goods registered with customs to prevent them from transporting products that could only be sold under license in Heatherlink and impacting the local industry. These products were either sold overseas at low cost or had special tax rates in Heatherlink.

Leaving the port of Heatherlink, the Dore Territory is located in the southwest region, but there is no direct road to it. The southwest region of Heatherlink is the continuous Dasos Mountains, which isolate the western inland areas. As a result, the Duchy of Heatherlink, located by the sea, has a mild and rainy climate, making it a relatively habitable region. In contrast, the western mountainous areas of the Dore Territory are dry and cold, with a slight drought in the summer. This is why there are relatively few people in the western mountainous areas, as the climate is not suitable for agricultural production. This is also why the Dore Territory is one of the poorer territories in Altaïr.

The Dasos Mountains are not easy to traverse, so if Niu Zida and his group wanted to return to the Dore Territory, they had to travel eastward along the Dasos Mountains for a distance, then bypass the pass and enter the eastern part of the Dore Territory. This area is adjacent to the Echeberia Territory, which can be considered the northeastern gateway to the territory. This territory is a rare plain in the mountainous Dore Territory.

The villages within Heatherlink were much more peaceful. After all, unlike Altaïr, this place had not experienced the ravages of war. There were no knights causing trouble along the way, and Niu Zida and his party left Heatherlink Port smoothly. After traveling for about 3 days, they arrived at the border region.

"Should we notify Lord Laudette of the Echeberia territory to come and greet our master?"

Laudert, Seritina's husband, had pawned his wife to Niu Zida as a maid to save his life. If he knew she had come alone, he might plot against her. Niu Zida wasn't actually afraid of him, but he was in a hurry to return to his territory and didn't want any trouble, so he said:

"When we pass through the territory of Etcheveria, it's best not to announce where we are. We should head back as soon as possible."

Joel understood Niu Zida's arrangement perfectly, so he didn't ask any more questions. After passing through the Dasos Pass, the group did not linger in the territory of Echeberia and headed straight for the territory of Dore. In about a day, they arrived at a place less than 30 kilometers away from the territory of Dore.

With the Dore territory about to be conquered, Niu Zida actually felt a slight sense of returning home. Although he was a goblin, he couldn't escape the emotions of a human. Facing the Dore territory, he had unconsciously come to regard the region where he first came to this world as his base. Humans are truly creatures that yearn for their homeland.

"Let's head back tonight and not rest any longer. Let's try to rest once we reach the territory of Dorei."

Although they were quite tired from the journey, under Niu Zida's orders, everyone had no choice but to muster their spirits and continue on their way. After all, they wouldn't be able to rest well in the wild, so it was better to go back sooner rather than later...

Chapter 168

After traveling day and night without stopping, Niu Zida finally arrived at the territory of Dorei. Along the way, he saw that the territory of Dorei was relatively peaceful. It seemed that the territory of Dorei had been safe for nearly half a year since he left. Indeed, Aponia was a very capable maid, managing the territory so well.

It was already past midnight when they arrived at the city of Dorei. At first, Niu Zida knocked on the gates, but the goblins guarding the city ignored him. It wasn't until Niu Zida blew the goblin bone whistle that the goblins realized that their "father" Niu Zida had returned and quickly opened the gates to welcome him.
