"No more, everything has been cleaned up. And recently, few goblins have crossed the border, and there are even fewer beasts." Simon replied.

"What about further away?" Xia Duo asked.

"Sir, if it is farther away and needs further reconnaissance, there are only three goblin settlements known, and the number of goblins in them is more than a hundred."

"Very good. Today's routine cleaning task is temporarily cancelled. Call your team members to gather at the entrance of the east village."

Despite some doubts, Simon responded immediately: "Yes, sir!"

Xia Duo waved his hand, and Simon turned around and trotted towards the training ground, shouting at the same time: "Gather, gather, everyone from the third team gathers! Let's continue training from the fourth team!"

Since he still had to put on armor and get weapons, Xia Duo left first. When they arrived at the entrance of the east village, Mott, who had received Xia Duo's message in advance, had already arrived.

"Sir, you asked me to come -"

"There is a goblin settlement nearby. There will be a lot of corpses later. You can try it as you like!"

"Yes, sir!"

Afterwards, Xia Duo asked about some details about creating undead creatures, and Mott also answered them one by one, but Xia Duo could tell that he was somewhat following the script.

While the two were talking, Simon came over with his team fully armed.

"Crack!"

Xia Duo snapped his fingers and summoned a forest horse. He hadn't used [Summon Mount] for a long time, and he felt a lot rusty. As he learned more and more spells in the future, this situation would become more and more... many.

Fortunately, I didn't forget it this time, otherwise it would have been embarrassing. Maybe I should make a real spell book!

Such a thought flashed through Sha Duo's mind, and he got on his horse at the same time, "Simon, let's go! Go to the nearest goblin settlement!"

"Yes!" Simon made a gesture, and one team member left the team and walked in front to explore the way, while the other team members quickly spread out in a defensive formation, protecting Xia Duo and Mott inside.

Sha Duo drove the summoned mount forward slowly, and like a chain reaction, the entire ten-man team also started moving at the same time.

After a while, the group came to an area with sparse trees. There were not many trees, mostly shrubs, and many of them had been destroyed by unknown creatures.

There are obvious traces of biological activity.

Xia Duo sat on the horse, focusing on training while looking at the surrounding situation. It is still a forest here, but soon, it may become farmland!

"Um?"

Simon stopped suddenly, and even Sha Duo's horse stopped. Just as he was about to ask, a "squeaking" sound suddenly came from the front.

Xia Duo turned around and saw that the team exploring the path ahead was drawing a sword from a goblin whose struggle had gradually subsided. I see, is it almost there?

At this moment, Simon stepped forward to report: "Sir, there is a goblin settlement ahead. Do you want to attack now?"

Xia Duo stared at him and gave the order, "Attack, let me see the effect of the [Tiger Roar] scroll in actual combat."

When Simon learned to use magic items, the large number of goblins near Linshui Village had already been cleared away, and there were only occasional cross-border crossings, so there was no need for magic scrolls at all.

This should be the first actual battle of the [Tiger Roar] scroll, and Xia Duo is looking forward to it.

Simon saluted solemnly, "Yes, sir, Simon will not let you down!"

Then he called on the players to prepare for the attack.

"Let's go there too." Sha Duo said to Mote, who had been following his mount. As they were traveling, Sha Duo asked again, "Mote, have you ever learned to fight?"

"No."

"..."

As a lord, what else can Xia Duo say, but it's not bad if he has never learned how to fight. With a blank piece of paper, he can be tricked into learning magic, and maybe he can be trained into a star mage in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but want to arrange for Priest Leiden to be eliminated, but when he thought that Leiden was now the chief steward of the territory, his thoughts temporarily calmed down.

While he was thinking about how to recruit more priests or mages to come to the territory, a huge low-frequency tiger roar suddenly came from the front——

"Roar--"

Even though the magic scroll was made by his own hand, Xia Duo still felt a feeling of emptiness in his heart. It was unclear whether it was the resonance of his organs and the low-frequency tiger roar, or whether it was fear.

It seems that this spell has great potential!

It was Mote who tried hard to keep a calm look at this time, which surprised Shado, but considering that he was a believer of the Lord of Death, this fear might be nothing.

So there was no explanation, and he continued to drive his mount forward, and Mott quickly followed.

…

In an open space surrounded by bushes and stones, several deformed wooden houses stood crookedly. At this time, a large number of goblins had fallen around the wooden houses.

On the far periphery, near the rocks and the simple shanties built with branches and hay next to the rocks, pieces of goblins also fell. If their chests were not still rising and falling, and their eyes were occasionally turning, they would almost look like they were dead. .

However, they are somewhat different from being dead now. One of Simon's team members is finishing the kill one by one. Many goblins saw this scene and wanted to get up and run away, but they couldn't get up.

Only a few goblins were not frightened to the ground by [Tiger Roar], but they were like headless flies at the moment, scurrying around, and would be shot to death if Simon and others encountered them.

After a while, Simon came to Shadoma and reported, "Sir, only two goblins escaped, the rest have been killed, and no trace of the bugbears was found."

"Very good!" Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction. It was ten against a hundred. Even though it was humans versus goblins, the question was not whether they won or not, but whether they were clean.

Simon and the other ten might be able to defeat a hundred goblins, but if the goblins scatter and run away, they may not be able to catch up. This is actually the dilemma of the Savile Territory in clearing the forest.

If there are too many people, the goblins will run away; if there are few people, they may not be able to defeat them, and even if they can be defeated, they may not be able to kill them all. Coupled with the reproduction speed of the goblins, this has caused the goblins in the Green Pearl Forest to repeatedly attack. The killing continues, the more they kill, the more they kill.

As for the [Tiger Roar] spell created by Shado, because there are no tigers in Netheril, these goblins had never heard such a sound before. They only knew that it was a powerful creature, and they were paralyzed by fear.

This brings great convenience to cleaning.

It’s almost like chopping melons and vegetables.

However, Xia Duo thought that [Tiger Roar] was effective now, but over time, the goblins might become immune to this sound. If they could get [Dragon Roar], it would definitely be more useful than [Tiger Roar].

Maybe it can even scare ordinary beasts into unconsciousness!

"Simon, have people pile the goblin corpses together! Mort, you also come over. Tell Simon what you need to do specifically."

"Yes, sir!"

After the two left, Xia Duo also dismounted. Looking at the corpses of goblins being stabbed together with spears by Simon and others, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This is a world where the weak eat the strong!
