Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 161 – Demon army and centaurs
The cavalry was very strange.
They had the body of a horse, yet the upper half of a human.
This was a cavalry composed of centaurs.
They marched with the army, numbering no less than five thousand.
Each centaur wore leather armor and wielded a bow and arrow.
Besides the Pigmen tribe and centaurs, there were also some green-skinned orcs.
They had robust bodies.
Muscles bulged all over, and their limbs were thick and strong.
Each orc stood no less than 2.1 meters tall.
Clad in heavy iron armor, they wielded various weapons.
Their numbers were fewer compared to the Pigmen tribe, less than ten thousand.
At the front of the marching troops was a tall figure riding a wild bull beast.
It had dark brown skin and a pair of ram horns on its head.
Its eyes were bright and golden.
Following behind it were ghost beastmen riding various mounts.
However, their aura was much weaker than the leading ghost beastman.
"Sir, why bother mobilizing such a large force for mere Goblins?"
A ghost beastman following Iron Face showed a puzzled expression.
The question posed by the ghost beastman was also what the other ghost beastmen wanted to know.
When they learned that the target of the higher-ranked centurion was Goblins, they were somewhat incredulous.
Some even thought they had misheard.
"Mere? You dare underestimate the enemy that caused Ghost Hand to fall in the Goblin Forest?"
With a slightly cold expression, Iron Face glanced expressionlessly at the subordinates behind him.
This made all the ghost beastmen's faces change slightly, and they lowered their heads a bit.
"I will not underestimate any enemy, even if that enemy is just mere Goblins!"
The ghost beastmen dared not respond further.
Not until Iron Face withdrew his gaze from them did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"The demon tribe's foothold on the southern continent is not easily achieved. We must be cautious and await the arrival of the main force."
"Sir, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
"I don't know. The war on the northern continent is not yet over."
"It's been ten years, hasn't it? If we wait any longer, the humans might react."
"Recently, many human spies have appeared in the southern wastelands. We must be on guard."
"Then let's launch a few feigned attacks to scare the humans, so they dare not act rashly."
"We've used that trick three times already. Will it still work?"
"Humans fear us. Even if we use it ten times, it will work."
On the vast grassland, the marching troops gradually moved away.
Half a month later, in the Goblin Forest.
On the north bank of the Goblin River, the Gobu Tian tribe.
"They're here, they're here, the demon tribe has appeared!"
Early in the morning, a group of Goblins rushed out from the eastern forest.
They ran in a panic towards the eastern gate of the tribe.
"Boss, boss, lots and lots of fat Pigmen tribe, they're coming!"
A Goblin outside the door burst in, crashing through the door.
Rolling and crawling, it reached the side of the sleeping boss.
Gobu Tian on the bed opened its eyes.
It got up wearily and stood.
It looked down at the Goblin crawling on the ground beside it.
"Really here?"
The Goblin nodded vigorously.
Gobu Tian frowned slightly and strode outside.
Standing at the door, Gobu Tian let out a loud shout.
"Boys, let's go, head to the throne tribe!"
With that, a flash of fear crossed Gobu Tian's eyes.
After staying at the throne tribe for half a year, its body was almost exhausted.
It had finally found an excuse to escape back to the tribe.
Even after two months, its body still felt very tired.
Just thinking of the female Lizardman made Gobu Tian feel nauseous.
But it had no choice but to head to the throne tribe.
Because staying here meant death, being killed by the demon tribe.
For a moment, the Gobu Tian tribe was in an uproar.
Nearly a thousand Goblins hurriedly ran out of the tribe from the west gate.
Without looking back, they plunged into the forest.
Looking towards the watchtower, the three-bow ballista was gone.
As early as half a month ago, the three-bow ballista on the watchtower had been dismantled.
The dismantled three-bow ballista was buried in the forest.
Just after Gobu Tian led his followers hurriedly away from the tribe.
In less than three hours, there was a commotion in the eastern forest.
Moments later, a large number of Pigmen tribe emerged from the eastern forest.
"Sir, it seems the Goblins fled at the news!"
Outside the forest, Iron Face and a group of centurion ghost beastmen looked at the wooden fortress not far away.
The gate of the wooden fortress was wide open.
The wooden walls and watchtower were empty.
Looking beyond the gate, the wooden fortress was also deserted.
"Have you ever seen Goblins build a wooden fortress?"
The higher-ranked centurion's words made the centurion ghost beastmen look at each other.
Goblins were scattered all over the continent.

Even in the most remote places, one could see Goblins.
No race would find Goblins unfamiliar.
But they had never heard of Goblins having a habit of building dwellings.
Goblins would only use naturally formed caves as their lairs, like beasts.
"Order the entire army to continue searching westward!"
Iron Face lightly patted the shoulder of the wild bull beast.
The wild bull beast beneath him turned and headed west.
The group of ghost beastmen hurriedly followed.

Goblin Forest.
On the north bank of the Goblin River, the throne tribe.
"Boss, boss!"
Before dawn, Li Meng and Vanessa were awakened by the "thud thud" of knocking on the door.
In the corner of the spacious throne hall was a bed.
Li Meng on the bed got up and yawned.
Looking down at the beautiful and voluptuous figure on the bed, Li Meng grinned.
"It's still early, you can sleep a bit more."
Vanessa was already awake but didn't get up.
She lay lazily on the bed.
"Mm!"
Vanessa responded with a soft "mm."
Li Meng turned and walked to the door.
When he opened the door, he saw the panting Gobu Tian at the entrance.
Gobu Tian's appearance made Li Meng realize what had happened.
"They're here?"
Gobu Tian nodded.
"Go ahead!"
Gobu Tian took a deep breath.
Then turned and hurried away.
Li Meng stretched and returned to the throne hall, planning to catch some more sleep.
What was meant to come would come, no need to be overly tense.
Since the expansion of the throne tribe was completed.
The Goblins had been frantically stockpiling food.
So far, the food reserves of the tribe were enough for one hundred thousand Goblins to eat for two months.
This war with the demon tribe would not be a prolonged one.
The stockpiled food was prepared for the future southward advance.
"Amon, what happened?"
Li Meng lay down beside Vanessa.
His right hand naturally wrapped around Vanessa's waist.
Vanessa moved slightly, snuggling contentedly into Amon's embrace.
Although Amon was a Goblin.
He didn't have the stench typical of other Goblins.
"The demon army is attacking, they should arrive in the next couple of days."
"What?"
Vanessa sat up in shock.
She looked at Amon beside her with a complex expression.
Li Meng yawned and pulled Vanessa back into his arms.
"It's alright, let them come. Blessing or curse, it can't be avoided!"
"Amon, that's the demon tribe!"
Seeing Amon's lack of tension, Vanessa was a bit anxious.
