With the addition of 500 human slaves, Suhlen's manpower was no longer as tight. All 500 slaves were sent to farm. This time, Suhlen did not plan to only farm 500 acres of land. He wanted to farm as much land as possible.
With the return of the caravan, the camp became livelier. The 20 carriages also brought back a lot of supplies. After all, furs were very popular in the northern wilderness.
With the return of the caravan, Suhlen temporarily put aside looking for suitable materials to make bows and arrows. He focused on developing his territory again. With a large increase in the population, the territory became more prosperous.
Ten days after Owen's caravan left, they passed by Suhlen's territory again. However, because of the barbarians' escape last time, Owen directly went to Suhlen to ask for compensation. However, Suhlen did not admit that he was the one who let the barbarians escape. He even claimed that the barbarians who escaped were not with him.
In order to prove his innocence, Suhlen asked Owen to personally check his barbarian guards. Of course, he did not find anything. In the end, Owen could only leave with a sullen expression.
Suhlen noticed that Owen's caravan had many longbows. The longbows were 1.8 meters long and had a purple body. They were centaur longbows. There were at least 50 of them. It seemed that Owen had a good harvest this time.
These centaur longbows could be sold for at least 3,000 gold coins in the human kingdom. They were also priceless. They would be bought as soon as they appeared. An archer squad made up of centaur longbows was definitely the nightmare of any attacker.
Unfortunately, he did not have the money to buy them. Suhlen suppressed his desire to rob with an unusually strong will. He arranged for people to send Owen's caravan away.
As the days passed, the territory continued to change. The appearance of a new territory would naturally occupy the living space of the original wasteland races. It was also a threat to the surrounding wasteland races. After defeating the middle-sized gnoll tribe, the territory gained a temporary peace. However, this peace would not last long.
The strong intervention of humans was like a baby crocodile in a small fish pond. Although it was still young, once this crocodile grew up, the whole fish pond would be eaten clean by it.
Faced with the pressure of the humans, and after a month of chaos, the surrounding tribes finally came to an agreement. They formed a powerful army to drive the humans out of the wastelands.
The remaining two Gnoll Tribes, as well as a larger number of Goblins and Kobolds, were preparing to form a powerful allied army. The law of survival in the wilderness was always the law of the jungle. It was rare for several tribes to band together. Only when they felt a common sense of danger would they choose to band together.
After the last battle, Suhlen restored the beacon towers in his territory and added a few more. He also paid close attention to the movements around his territory.
Foror was a Goblin. To be precise, he was the leader of a small Goblin Tribe. When Suhlen led the Barbarians to clean up the wasteland, their entire tribe was captured and enslaved.
What was unbelievable was that the leader of the Goblin Tribe, Foror, had learned the human language. Although he stuttered and spoke with a strange accent, he had successfully learned the human language.
After learning the human language, Foror volunteered to be Suhlen's interpreter. He believed that there was nothing wrong with being Suhlen's slave. At least Suhlen would give them food so that they would not starve.
The Goblins in the wasteland were often enslaved by various powerful tribes. The Trolls, Gnolls, Lizardmen, and many others would enslave the Goblins. Under the enslavement of these tribes, the Goblins were used as cannon fodder or as food reserves. In comparison, being a slave in the human territory was like heaven.
Although they would still be whipped, at least they would not be killed. Moreover, they would be given food if they worked hard. Although the food given to them was pitiful, it was better than starving.
Although Suhlen had been in this world for 10 years, he still retained many values from his previous life. Of course, he did not try to challenge the traditions of this world. He was against slavery, against the exploitation of nobles, against religious oppression, and so on. As an adult with vested interests, he would not risk universal condemnation to liberate the slaves.
However, he would not be like the people of this era who would oppress the slaves cruelly. For example, as long as the Goblins and Houndhead Men did not resist, Suhlen would not simply kill them. The slaves would work and provide them with food. Of course, that was all.
However, the Goblin Leader, Foror, felt that this was a blessing. The Goblin Leader told the other Goblins about the benefits of being Suhlen's slave and promoted Suhlen's benevolence. What surprised him more was that the system recognized this Goblin called Foror.
[Goblin Slave: Foror, Goblin Leader. Master: Suhlen; Loyalty: 100. Most of the former Goblin Lords were foolish, but there were always one or two exceptions. As a smart one among the Goblins, he learned the human language with his own efforts. In order to have enough food and clothes, he chose to pledge his loyalty to the humans. With his identity, he easily gained the trust of the Goblins. Skills: Observation + 2, Goblin Affinity + 20.]
With this Goblin Slave, the Goblin slaves became more docile. Suhlen put all the Goblin Supervisors under his command and the Goblins' efficiency increased again. And those Goblin Supervisors had actually become soldiers recognized by the system...
[Goblin Supervisor: The strongest among the Goblins. In order to have a better life, these Goblins chose to pledge their loyalty to the human Lord. Strength: 4, Vitality: 3, Agility: 5, Spirit: 3, Charm: 3. Skills: Lash, Observation. Although their combat power is not as good as the five weaklings, they still have their own uses.]
After Suhlen discovered this situation, other than ordering the Goblins to work, he also sent them to the wilderness to gather information about the tribes. Due to their identity as Goblins, they naturally gained the recognition of the tribes in the wilderness. They easily blended into the tribes and eavesdropped on the news for Suhlen.
For these undisciplined tribes in the wilderness, one more Goblin slave or one less Goblin slave would not even be noticed.
With the information provided by the Goblin slaves, Suhlen finally had a more accurate understanding of the tribes around his territory.
