Goblin Reincarnation in Another World (Anime/Manga)

Page 246

Over the next few days, Yura, Shizuku Misato, Kuroyukihime, and Asuna all gave birth and recovered. After that, Yoel took Rosalia, Yangyang, Shizuku Misato, Kuroyukihime, Asuna, and Yura—a total of seven people—and each of them brought their respective supplies. Before setting off, they were provided with a carriage to carry the logistical supplies.

The seven people took turns driving the carriage in pairs, except for Rosalia, who was responsible for night patrols and needed to sleep during the day.

On the carriage, Joel, who was in charge of the harassment team, took out the mission envelope that Niu Zida had handed her. After opening it, she prepared to carry out the tasks issued on it one by one. Their first stop was the Coates Territory.

"It really is Coates territory."

Joel couldn't help but smile wryly as she recalled their first trip to the Coates territory a few years ago. She hadn't expected their master to hold such a grudge.

"The situation in the Coates Territory has been bad these past few years. Due to frequent wars, uprisings are constantly breaking out there, and there are many peasant revolts that have turned into bandits..."

Yura, being of noble birth, never used kind words when referring to these oppressed peasant rebels. Joel, being of commoner origin, didn't want to argue with Yura, since their mission this time wasn't to cooperate with these peasant rebels anyway.

Chapter 572 A Question to Aponia

Chapter 572.

The group drove their carriage out of the front lines besieging Altaïr City and headed towards the southern noble territories along country roads. This area consisted of fragmented terrain with grasslands, plains, and mountains. Apart from the hawkish and pro-war nobles identified through intelligence gathering by Xin Hai, the decision on whether to attack the rest depended on Yura's identification. Therefore, Yura was somewhat of a guide in this campaign.

This is also why Niu Zida is particularly testing Yura, and why he strongly advocated including the recently subdued Yura in the battle. This is to test Yura's loyalty. On the other hand, having Yura participate in the raids behind enemy lines will allow the enemy to create public opinion that the Wave Knight has betrayed his country once they confirm Yura's identity, thus damaging the enemy's morale. Even the hero who recently blocked the goblin army's logistics in Sacred Deer Valley has defected to the enemy, so many people will think that Altaïr is finished and cannot hold on any longer.

After seeing off Joel and his group, Aponia returned to Niu Zida's side. As soon as she entered Niu Zida's inner tent early in the morning, she sensed something was wrong. The room was dark and no one was awake. It should have been breakfast time, but there were no maids to serve him. Upon closer inspection, she found Niu Zida sound asleep, nestled between two beautiful women, Ningguang and Saint Louise, on their laps. The two beauties looked exhausted, clearly having had a long battle the night before and were too tired to get up in the morning.

Aponia was a little angry at the sight, but it was not convenient to wake them up, so she turned around and went out. She waited until about noon before coming back. At this time, Niu Zida had just gotten up and was being held in Saint Louis's arms, sucking on her big breasts, while below, Miku was kneeling and sucking on Niu Zida's huge thing with her small mouth.

"Mom...you're back...oh oh oh..."

Niu Zida was overjoyed to see Aponia enter, letting out a long sigh. He shakily emptied his bladder from Miku's small mouth, even letting out a comfortable shiver as he urinated.

"Using the Meijiu urinal in the morning is really comfortable..."

"Is it still morning, Master? It's already noon..."

"Oh? Really? You got up so late? Haha, I spent too much time dealing with government affairs last night."

Unexpectedly, Niu Zida lied to her face. This time, Aponia didn't hold back and directly exposed him, recounting how she had come over that morning and seen him sleeping with two beautiful women without even getting up.

Hearing that Aponia had dragged her into it, Saint Louis, who was holding Niu Zida, felt a little ashamed. In fact, it was pretty much as Aponia had guessed. Last night, Niu Zida didn't deal with any so-called political affairs. Instead, he fought with Ningguang Saint Louis for countless rounds. The three of them finally fell asleep exhausted just before dawn.

Now Aponia had guessed almost everything correctly. Feeling guilty, Saint Louis lowered her head and dared not look at Aponia again, while Niu Zida pretended to be stupid and started laughing foolishly.

“Master, stop laughing. Tell Mother exactly how many times you did it last night… no, I should say how many times you did it from last night until today, not counting the part where you had goblin births with the female slave.”

"Huh? I did it three times as I agreed with Mom."

"Stop lying to Mom. If you keep lying like this, don't blame Mom for getting angry."

Aponia's beautiful eyes were half-closed. When she heard that Niu Zi was still putting up a stubborn resistance at the very end, she showed a rare expression of anger, a departure from her usual gentleness.

"Oh, I... I did it five times..."

"How much exactly?"

“8 times…”

Like a child who has done something wrong, under Aponia's questioning, Niu Zida finally lowered his head and told her the truth about the number of times. After he finished speaking, he simply buried his head in Saint Louis's snow-white breasts, escaping reality and ignoring Aponia, looking like he was giving up.

"I'm sorry, Miss Aponia, I failed in my duty to take good care of my master."

Seeing that Niu Zida had already said that, Ningguang quickly stood up and admitted her mistake. Aponia, on the other hand, didn't blame Ningguang too much here:

“I know that you can’t go against your master’s wishes in many ways, but you should come to me instead of adding fuel to the fire.”

"Yes……"

Even Mina wouldn't dare to argue too much with Aponia's accusations, since Aponia was the main wife in the entire harem, and her relationship with her master was complicated, half lover and half mother and son.

Ningguang had already admitted her mistake, and Saint Louise quickly added:

"I'm sorry... I was wrong too..."

"Alright, alright, everyone, there's no need for me to apologize like this. In the end, it's still up to the master to manage himself. There's nothing we can do about blaming the female slave."

Now that everyone has admitted their mistake, Aponia can no longer blame Niu Zida. So she takes Niu Zida from Saint Louis's arms and holds him in her own arms. Saint Louis, Ningguang, and Miku then take their leave.

"Mom...I was wrong..."

"Alright, alright, Master, let's not talk about this anymore. But what bothered me the most was why you didn't call Misaki Shokuhou. You know it's dangerous to have Miku serve you alone, right?"

Without Misaki Shokuhou's brainwave control, no one knows whether the servitude contract can actually control Miku. In fact, no one is sure whether the servitude contract that Miku signed under brainwave control was even effective. Therefore, whenever Miku is summoned to serve, Misaki Shokuhou must always be by her side.

"Misaki Shokuhou gave birth today."

Hearing Niu Zida say that, Aponia had no choice but to sigh and say:

"If Misaki Shokuhou is to have children in the future, Master, why don't you let Miku get pregnant at the same time? That way, it will be easier to control them together."

"But that might exceed the limit for the number of times you do it."

"Master is so cunning, he actually waited for Mom here."

"Hehe... It's because Mommy Aponia always scolds me. Mommy used to be so good to me, she never scolded me..."

"Because the most"

Chapter 839

"With so many concubines in the harem, it was fine before when there were fewer people and my mother was often by my master's side. It didn't matter if he acted a little recklessly. Now, my master has so many concubines, and they're all so beautiful. I often don't see him for days at a time. What if I let him do whatever he wants and my health suffers?"

"Aponia's mom... are you jealous?"

Upon hearing Niu Zida's words, Aponia was slightly taken aback; she never expected Niu Zida to ask such a question in return...

Chapter 573 Nilu's Rescue

Chapter 573.

With his raiding squad, Joel began to breach several pro-war noble castles in southern Altaïr. These castles were guarded by only a dozen or so standing troops, who were there to guard against ordinary thieves and had no idea that their castles would be attacked directly.

Generally speaking, even during the busy farming season, most farmers in the territory are unlikely to be called up for war. Therefore, the castle only has some direct knights and a small number of conscripted soldiers on guard, with little military strength. At most, larger gangs might rob some villages, but even so, they won't cause too much trouble. After all, if they cause too much trouble and attract strong retaliation from the nobles, the survival of thieves will be in trouble.

As for fortified castles, they were generally untouchable by most bandit groups. A castle guarded by a dozen men, simply by closing the gates and raising the drawbridge, was virtually impregnable, even for large bandit groups of several hundred without engineering equipment. Once the lord of Altaïr's southern territory learned of such large-scale bandit activity and reported it to Altaïr, attracting the army to suppress the bandits, it meant the bandits' annihilation. Therefore, in the southern regions relatively close to Altaïr, this area...

Thieves there don't dare to act recklessly; they can't conquer castles, and they'll be targeted if they rob villages.

However, the destructive power of Joel and his group was extremely terrifying. Rosalia and Joel's stealth abilities allowed them to easily break through the castle's defenses at night, open the gates or drawbridges, and then several highly skilled combat teams would enter, quickly eliminate all resistance, and then set the castle ablaze. Using this tactic, in just seven or eight days, six or seven castles had been attacked. When survivors said that the attackers might be women, they were ridiculed as the dying fantasies of lecherous cowards, because no one would believe that the fall of several castles was caused by women, especially since there had never been any female bandit groups in this area.

However, things soon became suspicious in the southern Altaïr territories, including the Coates Territory. More and more castles were being attacked, and many survivors said that the attacks were indeed carried out by women. This caused panic among the nobles, who began a large-scale manhunt for traveling groups with women, such as circuses, dance troupes, minstrels, and even some theater companies.

Because of the recent war in Altaïr, many performing groups had to seek refuge in the southern region or pass through here on their way to Heatherlink. However, they are now being harassed by the local nobles, and many are unable to leave and are being detained here for investigation to see if they are related to the recent series of castle attacks. Naturally, many innocent people have also been implicated.

Although Joel felt sorry for those innocent people who were implicated by the nobles, he couldn't afford to worry about such things too much because he still had his master's mission to fulfill. He could only continue attacking the castle and release any implicated people he encountered who were imprisoned.

On this day, Joel and his men attacked a relatively large castle again, using the same method as before. This castle was located near the territory of Echeberia. Because it was close to the border, there were many troops stationed here, so it took some time to eliminate the garrison. After several hours of fierce fighting, the seven men eliminated seventy or eighty castle garrison soldiers, while the remaining hundred or so scattered and fled.

Because it was a rather large castle, there were dozens of households inside, all of whom were blacksmiths, craftsmen, and even tax collectors.

The castle's lord had already died in battle, so Joel could only bring the tax collector out to inquire about the castle's storage locations and conditions, only to learn that a considerable amount of grain had been left in the area.

"It would be such a waste to burn all this grain. We should distribute it to the people in the neighborhood instead."

If it were an ordinary castle with stored grain, it might be fine to burn it without a care. But the grain reserves here are enough to feed 3000 people for a year. After all, this place is close to the border, and it is convenient to transport grain here. No wonder there are more than 200 garrison troops here.

"But how do we gather the farmers from the countryside?"

Everyone agreed with Joel's suggestion, but Kuroyukihime calmly raised this question. After all, there were only seven of them. They could handle fighting, of course, but for this kind of work, seven people were far from enough.

"Send someone to notify each village to send people to collect the grain..."

Yura, standing to one side, pointed to the tax collectors and offered a solution. Tax collectors usually have some helpers who are responsible for collecting taxes. They are quite familiar with the villages, so it would be best to have them notify the villages to come to the castle to collect their food.

"By the way, each household must bring the previous year's tax receipts to collect their grain. I will personally verify the tax receipts."

The tax collector readily agreed to Yura's order, but he never expected that this beautiful woman would even know about something like tax invoices.

"Why do we need to exchange tax stamps for grain?"

“In this rural area, we have no idea how many people live in the surrounding villages. If we let the tax collectors manipulate things, they might contact the surrounding landlords to send people to collect the grain. In that case, our grain would be distributed to those landlords instead of being distributed. Now that we can collect the grain with tax stamps, the self-cultivating farmers who pay taxes on weekdays can collect their grain and go home.”

"But what about the tenants who don't own land?"

Asuna is very clever; upon hearing Yura's explanation, she immediately applied it to other questions.

“Those tenants without land will surely be driven by the landlords to come and collect their grain. At that time, we can just detain those landlords.”

"But how do we tell which are self-cultivating farmers and which are landlords?"

"Those who eat well and are plump are naturally landlords, while those who work in the fields themselves have strong muscles and weathered faces, making them easy to identify."

Asuna admired Yura's words, and even Joel thought Yura's method was correct, so he sent the tax collector to do it.

There were still some residents remaining in the castle. Joel organized these people, gave them weapons, and had them defend the castle. Anyway, Joel and the others didn't care whether these people were going to inform others or colluding with thieves. With their strength, even if they were surrounded by hundreds of people, it wouldn't be difficult for them to leave.

However, Joel learned some interesting information from a blacksmith in the castle: the castle also had a prison. Joel knew this because he had been summoned by the lord to forge instruments of torture. Joel asked the blacksmith to lead the way, and sure enough, they found the prison in the castle's basement. The guards had long since fled, but there were still several prisoners inside. Fortunately, the blacksmith had told Joel this information; otherwise, if no one remembered them, they would all have starved to death there in two days.

Joel inquired about their crimes. Apart from one person who was truly heinous and was killed by Joel himself, the rest had been arrested for offenses such as failing to pay taxes. So he released them all. Joel then asked the prisoners:

Are there any other castles with prisons around here?

“30 kilometers to the northwest, there is a castle called Larenz Castle, and there is a prison there that is much larger than this.”

Upon hearing the prisoner's words, Joel decided to lead his men to attack the castle that very night, leaving the distribution of grain to the others.

Chapter 840

A new castle garrison composed of residents and prisoners would suffice.

Larenz Castle was not very large, with only a few dozen guards. Jol and his men easily broke through it, and then stormed the prison. They found that, just as the prisoners had said, there were at least fifty prisoners, all of whom were farmers from the surrounding area who could not afford to pay their taxes.

Here, Joel also organized these prisoners, occupied Larenz Castle, and put them in charge of guarding the place and at his command.

However, besides releasing these prisoners, what surprised Joel the most was that there was actually a female prisoner in this prison. To be precise, she was a female prisoner belonging to a group called Zuber's Troupe. She was the beautiful dancer Nel, whom Joel had helped rescue a few years ago during the kidnapping case in Altaïr.

After several years, Nilu had grown even more graceful and elegant. Although she looked somewhat haggard due to her long period of imprisonment, it could not conceal her stunning beauty and graceful figure.

Nilu was quite surprised to see Joel. While in prison, she learned about a group of thieves, supposedly composed of women, who were active in the area and could raid various castles, but she never imagined that it would be Joel and his group.

"Miss Nilu, I didn't expect to meet you here again."

“Miss Joel…I really didn’t expect it to be you all…Miss Kuroyukihime is here too…”

When Nel saw that it was Yoel, she was also very emotional. However, Yoel was the only person she knew. Apart from Kuroyukihime, she didn't know Asuna and the others, let alone Rosalia, Yangyang and the others.

When old friends meet again, they exchange pleasantries, especially since Nel had been rescued by Yor a few years ago. Even Kuroyukihime joins in the conversation with Nel.

"Miss Joel and Miss Kuroyukihime are still as beautiful as ever after all these years."

Nilu sighed and then asked:

"It must be Mr. Niu Zida's army attacking Altaïr now."

"It is indeed the master's army, but Miss Nel, how did you end up here and get imprisoned?"

"It's a long story. Because of the siege, the Zuber Theatre Troupe's performance in Altaïr was forced to be canceled. In order to survive, the troupe had no choice but to perform in the Duchy of Hetherink, which was free from the war. However, when they passed through Larenz Castle, because of the recent attack on the castle that was said to involve women, they suspected the Zuber Theatre Troupe and detained us here."

Chapter 574 Nilu's Troubles

Chapter 574.

"These people are so rude... Are you alright?"

“It’s nothing. They just detained us here to extort money. Fortunately, Mr. Zubair intervened, and I wasn’t touched by them.”

Nilu shook her head and quickly said that Joel was relieved. She had long seen that Niu Zida was interested in Nilu. Now that she had obtained Nilu, she would naturally have the opportunity to bring her back to her master. However, if Nilu had been defiled, then Niu Zida could not be allowed to take her in. Now that she knew that Nilu's body was clean, she could decide to take Nilu in.

"It's too dangerous now, with soldiers all around. If you go to Heatherlink, you'll have to cross the border. I think you might as well come back with us."

"But isn't that a battlefield?"

"Don't worry, it's safer to be by Master's side. Besides, the Duchess of Heatherlink is with Master now. If you want to go to Heatherlink in the future, it will be difficult without the pass. Come with me to Master's military camp and get Duchess Charlotte's pass so you can go to Heatherlink."

Upon hearing this condition, Nel couldn't refuse. She consulted the troupe leader, Zuber, who could only reply:

"Without the clearance document, we cannot enter Heatherlink. So there's really no point in finding a place to stay. Let's go to the Goblin Army. If they can guarantee our safety there, it's better than being detained by these nobles here again."

Since Zuber had said so, Nilu had no objections. After releasing the prisoners, Joel and the others handed the castle over to them for management. Then, she protected Zuber's troupe and headed back. Anyway, they had been out for more than half a month, and they should go back to report the battle situation to their master and ask for the next battle objective. Everyone also needed to rest well. After all, they were all girls, and it wouldn't do to keep sleeping in the open like this.

After a short journey of three or four days, Joel delivered the Zuber Troupe to Niu Zida's military camp. Niu Zida was naturally delighted and thoughtfully arranged for the Zuber Troupe to stay at the camp of the human forces under the command of Su Liya. After all, they were more likely to accept human forces than goblin troops. Except for one person who stayed by his side, of course, it was the beautiful girl Nil.

Nilu was naturally delighted to see Niu Zida, who had rescued her years ago. Niu Zida treated her well for several days, providing her with delicious food and drinks every day. However, he wouldn't let Nilu meet the other members of the Zuber Theatre Troupe. After a while, Nilu asked Niu Zida to issue her a pass so that she could go to Heatherlink with the Zuber Theatre Troupe to perform.
