Lin Yun was already aware of this and had prepared a large amount of rations in advance. These things weren't worth much in Noscent, but in the Underworld, they were the most popular hard currency. No race would complain about having too much rations.
The Blood Elves being able to develop had a lot to do with their ability to nurture plants. The Blood Elves rarely lacked food. Even if their power had already transformed into the power of blood, they hadn't lost some of their Elven instincts.
Darry's eyes turned green when he saw the food. Those Cave Goblins, who weren't willing to cooperate due to fear, went crazy when they saw food.
"Wait until you advance to the Extraordinary realm."
Lin Yun didn't immediately agree to Darry's vow of loyalty. The Lizardmen race was huge, and Darry was only representing his own tribe. A slightly more powerful Lizardman tribe might not be so easy to deal with. After all, strength was what mattered.
Subduing a small Lizardmen tribe wasn't very useful at the moment. Darry alone was enough for now. Having Darry, a native of the Underworld, leading the way was enough for the time being.
Lin Yun calmly waited on the surface while Gobrinwan held the spatial ring and crazily rushed back to the underground plaza where the Cave Goblins were waiting.
The densely packed Short Cave Goblins had already gathered here. Everyone had brought their Dong Dawns, and some Cave Goblins were holding various tools. They wanted to escape from this place. Everyone was in despair, but none of the Cave Goblins had any thoughts of resisting.
After countless years, the Cave Goblins could continue to exist by relying on their ability to escape, not their ability to fight. The corpses of all the Cave Goblins that resisted could no longer be found.
"Leader is back! Leader actually came back alive! "
"Great, let's hurry up and escape! We'll destroy this place and escape from another place! Those repulsive guys definitely won't be able to catch us!"
Gobrinwan's reputation was very high here. All the Cave Goblins felt that Gobrinwan was definitely going to die, but they still waited for him here. But they hadn't expected Gobrinwan to actually come back alive.
Suddenly, the group of Cave Goblins that had already packed everything started rushing towards the escape route they had prepared in advance.
"Don't go, don't go, we don't have to run anymore. Look at what this is!"
After saying that, Gobrinwan took out a dozen bags of rations from his spatial ring. The fragrance of the grains spread like poison, and in an instant, all the Cavern Goblins went crazy. A group of red-eyed Cavern Goblins pounced on the rations, and in a few seconds, the group of Cavern Goblins drowned the dozen bags of rations.
As for what Gobrinwan was saying now, no one cared. Gobrinwan angrily rushed up and kicked a few of his clansmen away, but still no one paid attention to him. Gobrinwan could only grit his teeth and throw out more than 30 bags of food.
"Idiots, stop fighting. There are still ten thousand bags here! Ten thousand bags! "
Suddenly, the entire underground plaza became eerily quiet. The three to four thousand Cave Goblins all turned their heads to stare at Goblins with red eyes. They were all scared silly.
A few older Cave Gnomes started counting with their fingers, but they couldn't figure anything out even after counting for a long time …
"God, ten thousand bags of rations … I won't be able to finish it even when I die. How did the chief get it …"
Gobrinwan climbed to a high point and proudly looked down at the stupefied clansmen below.
'Ten thousand bags of rations … So much food is enough for our tribe to eat their fill for a few years. Next year, there will definitely be a lot of clansmen born in our tribe. At least, we won't have to worry about the newly born clansmen starving to death.
That terrifying Lord Dragon actually gave me so much food. It definitely wasn't to eat us, nor was it to send us to our deaths in the mines. This amount of food should be a lot for that Lord. This amount of food was more important than our entire tribe.
'That Lord definitely wants us to submit. Maybe he wants us to build the Giant Dragon's Nest for him. No, it's not maybe, it's definitely like this!
'If we follow that Lord, we won't have to starve, and we won't have to worry about someone destroying our tribe …'
"Listen to me, you fools. There is a powerful Dragon Lord that wants us to help him build the Giant Dragon's Nest. Ten thousand bags of rations is just a reward from that Lord. As long as we follow that Lord, we won't have to worry about the newborns going hungry.
"Those brutal Blood Elves have already been burned to death by that powerful Dragon Lord, and that powerful Lizardman was only a servant of that Dragon Lord.
"Now, follow me out to pay your respects to that powerful and benevolent Dragon Lord!"
Gobrinwan bluntly said these words, and with the amount of rations that could scare these Cave Goblins silly, everything went smoothly. There was no need to say anything else …
Several thousand Cave Goblins, whether they were old and dying, or those small Cave Goblins that weren't even half a meter tall, all followed Gobrinwan to the surface.
What were they afraid of? What were they still worried about? Didn't they see that the leader had brought back ten thousand bags of rations? If they escaped now, these ten thousand bags of rations would be theirs. Since that Dragon Lord could casually reward them with so much rations, it definitely wasn't to kill or eat them. Moreover, they had never heard of Dragons liking to eat Goblins …
These ten thousand bags of rations were enough to explain the problem. That was ten thousand bags of rations! It was a very large fortune for a Dragon Lord …
The group of timid and cautious Cave Goblins went completely crazy in the face of so much rations.
On the surface, the group of Cave Goblins were like ants rushing out of their nests as they rushed out of the small holes. After rushing out of the holes, these guys felt the pressure in the air and suddenly remembered that they were going to pay their respects to a powerful and terrifying Dragon.
Especially after rushing out of the surface and seeing the three powerful and terrifying presences, the Cave Goblins couldn't help but kneel on the ground to express their allegiance.
Thousands of hideous Cave Goblins were sprawled on the ground. Among them, many of them carried all sorts of tools, such as tools for digging caves, and some crude tools that were obviously used in the construction of magical structures. This was enough to prove that the inheritance of knowledge in this Cave Goblin tribe wasn't cut off. In fact, the inheritance was rather good.
Looking at this scene, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile. The inheritance of knowledge of the Cave Goblins was different from the inheritance of the mages. Their inheritance of knowledge mostly taught them how to make use of their natural abilities to make magic buildings, and didn't teach them theories and research.
Gobrinwan appeared on the surface with all of his tribesmen. He walked forward nervously, crawled on the ground, and shouted loudly.
"Great and benevolent Lord Merlin, Gobrinwan represents our tribe to pledge allegiance to you …"
Lin Yun spat out a rune and a Spatial Door appeared in front of him.
"Take your tribesmen inside. This is my world, it is absolutely safe there, there is enough food, and there are no Blood Elves."
Since he had already pledged allegiance, Gobrinwan strictly followed Lin Yun 'orders and led his tribesmen into the Natural Demiplane through the Spatial Door.
These Cave Goblins were arranged in the northeastern part of the Natural Demiplane. That area had the most mountain ranges and was most suitable for these guys who liked digging caves. Moreover, there were no lifeforms in the Natural Demiplane. There were no lifeforms that could threaten the Cave Goblins, not even ordinary beasts.
All the Cave Goblins were arranged to go inside, but Gobrinwan was brought along.
"Gobrinwan, do you know where the other Cave Goblin tribes are? There is also the Red-Skinned Spirit Leech tribe. "
Gobrinwan definitely knew more about this than Lin Yun. Now that he had already pledged allegiance, Gobrinwan would naturally follow Lin Yun 'orders. Moreover, he wasn't trying to harm the other Cave Goblin tribes, he was helping them.
But when he heard Lin Yun's question, Gobrinwan's eyes turned a bit red.
"Sir, this Tunguska Mountain Range is already the largest gathering place of the Cave Goblins. There are a total of five large tribes and twelve small tribes, but I'm afraid most of them have been captured by those repulsive Blood Elves.
"Those Blood Elves seem to have discovered some precious ore vein, but it is very difficult to mine it. Half of the Beastman slaves they captured already died in the collapsed mines, so they are frantically capturing our tribesmen this time.
"Our tribe is located in the area with the most rocks in the Tunguska Mountain Range. This area is at least a few dozen kilometers covered in huge rocks, so we were lucky enough not to be captured …"
Lin Yun frowned. An ore vein that was difficult to mine, and the Blood Elves attached so much importance to it, there could only be one reason.
Blood Essence Ore. After a powerful lifeform died, their corpse would be buried underground, and their blood and power would fuse with the surrounding environment. After a long time of incubation, ores containing formidable blood power would condense.
Not only did Blood Essence Ore contain a huge amount of blood power, but there might also be some special ores with some special abilities. These special abilities could only be used as Magic Tools for other lifeforms, but they were completely different for the Blood Elves.
As long as the ability of the Blood Essence Ore was compatible with a Blood Elf, then when the Blood Elf absorbed the huge amount of blood power within the ore, he might fuse the special ability of the ore with his own body.
But that kind of ore was very difficult to mine, because the places with this kind of ore were relatively scattered. Only half of the unskilled Beastman slaves died while mining, which meant that the amount of Blood Essence Ore in this ore vein wasn't too high.
This kind of mining task was indeed the most suitable for the Cave Goblins. These short fellows, even if they dug a cave under the desert, would rarely have the situation of the cave collapsing.
But this was a bit troublesome. Cave Goblins could be considered one of the most valuable races in the Underworld to mages. Once the power of Cave Goblins in the field of magic construction was exposed, it would be very difficult to find any Cave Goblins in the Underworld. They were all plundered clean by Noscent's mages.
A large Cave Goblin tribe could build a huge Magic Fort, mage tower, magic defense tower, magic sentry post, magic city wall …
The Cave Goblins built the old Magic Fort, and even if a 9th Rank Archmage was in charge of the Mage Tower, it would be able to resist the attack of a 3rd Rank Heaven Mage.
The Magic Fort had another name during the Nesser Dynasty: Dragon Nest.
A Dragon Nest wasn't just a cave dug out, it was an incomparably huge Magic Fort. Warning, storage, defense, counterattack, mana gathering, and a bunch of other abilities were integrated into that fort to form a Dragon Nest.
If not for that, the Chromatic Dragons, who looked down on Pureblood Elves during the Nesser Dynasty, wouldn't have let Cave Goblins build Dragon Nests.
Humans could build a Level 1 building with ordinary materials, so it was possible for Cave Goblins to build a Level 3 building. The special Innate Ability that came with a + 2 effect was definitely a must when building the Shelter Tower.
Recalling the records of Cave Goblins, when human mages discovered the abilities of Cave Goblins and started plundering them on a large scale, there were only a few scattered Cave Goblins left in the Underworld. This tribe of several thousand people simply wouldn't have existed in the future.
But Lin Yun hadn't expected that Gobrinwan's tribe wasn't the largest. There were several tribes even larger than Gobrinwan's tribe, and there were even a dozen smaller tribes.
The total number of Cave Goblins in the Tunguska Mountain Range should be around forty to fifty thousand. Such a huge number wouldn't be that many Cave Goblins a few millennia later.
This should be the work of those Blood Elves. After a few millennia, Cave Goblins had been reduced to slaves and their numbers were on the verge of extinction.
He originally planned on having a few thousand of them. He would slowly nurture them and let them multiply. After ten years, there would always be some Cave Goblins that could join the construction of the Shelter Tower. As long as there were a few hundred of them, the Shelter Tower could be built.
But now, hearing that there were several tens of thousands of Cave Goblins, Lin Yun couldn't remain calm. Even if the inheritance of these guys wasn't complete, it would still be easy to gather a few hundred technicians to join the construction of the Shelter Tower.
After a few millennia, a Cave Goblin proficient in Magic Engineering comparable to a Master Alchemist would be something that every force in Noscent would have to pay a huge price to obtain. And Master Magic Architects comparable to Artisans could be counted on one's fingers.
Even those young Cave Goblins could be sold for a price on the black market comparable to a True Spirit Magic Tool.
There were still so many of these gold-like existences, and they were already being harmed by those foolish Blood Elves. What else could be said?
"Gobrin Wan, lead the way. Let's find your clansmen first. The Blood Elves are a group of arrogant fools, their brains can't even compare to a rat's, damn …"
As he thought of this, Lin Yun became angry. With these Cave Goblins and the cooperation of the alchemists, the Magic Fort definitely couldn't be picked up, but some independent Magic Buildings could definitely be built.
After a few years of nurturing, the Void Fort in the void might be built by the Cave Goblins. At that time, that Void Fort would be a large-scale Magic Fort. A magic battleship fleet wouldn't even be able to break through it. After it was built, even 9th Rank Heaven powerhouses would be able to resist it.
He hadn't considered this at first because he felt that the number of Cave Goblins would be very small. It would be pretty good if he could pull out 10% of the several thousand Cave Goblins to work.
These few hundred would barely be able to be used in the early stages of the Shelter Tower's construction. If they were used for something else, they wouldn't even be able to think about it.
But now, there were a dozen times more. All the ideas that he had given up on could be put forward, so what else was there to consider?
'I'll go to the Blood Elves' territory and snatch back those Cave Goblins! '
The Natural Demiplane's Spatial Door opened once again and fifty mages shrouded in flames walked out. Then, a magic battleship slowly flew out of the Spatial Door.
The magic battleship was only a hundred meters long. This was a new product of the alchemist team. It was specially made to deal with planar wars. It was only a hundred meters in size and was more suitable for fighting within planes.
Five hundred-meter-long magic battleships sailed out in a row, and the puppet army was already on the magic battleships. These puppets had been placed on the magic battleships a long time ago. They were mass-produced puppets, and since there was no war, their stock kept increasing. As the magic battleships started, these slumbering puppets woke up one after another.
Puppets specially made to work with the magic battleships had already been developed. Not only could these puppets maintain the magic battleships, but they could also control some important positions. A magic battleship only needed a few people, and most of the work could be done by the puppets.
Seeing the five shuttle-like magic battleships floating in the air, Gobrinwan was stunned, and so was Dalry.
The battleships were covered in a layer of mana radiance. This was the magic battleship's defensive cover, and each battleship had several hundred weapon systems and three main cannons. The main cannon at the forefront of the battleship was emitting a terrifying aura of destruction even when it wasn't fired. Sensing that aura, Gobrinwan and Dalry paled.
Dalry was a bit better off, only looking shocked and even a bit scared. Gobrinwan, on the other hand, was so scared that he fell to the ground. As a race that was proficient in magic engineering, he knew all too well what this magic battleship represented.
Anderfa disdainfully glanced at Gobrinwan and Dalry.
"Damn, a group of country bumpkins. It's just a small magic battleship, yet look at how scared they are. If they saw the magic battleship model in the endless void, would they be scared to death? "Idiots even more stupid than Xiuban …"
Anderfa's left cheek muttered. Xiuban, who had been secretly looking down on Gobrinwan and Dalry, heard this and his expression darkened.
