"Hello, I'm Lewis. I don't know what your name is, old goblin?" After saying so much, Liu Siyi still didn't know the name of the old goblin in front of him.
"Bob, goblin Bob."
"Bob, actually, training ten heroes is really easy. But to attack your city, I have no gold coins left now. If you can help me recruit all the remaining goblins, I will choose some of them and train them into heroes," Liu Siyi said.
Goblins are almost the cheapest of all troops, costing only 15 gold coins to recruit one. However, recruiting over a hundred would require more than 2,000 gold coins. How could Liu Siyi, who had less than 5,000 gold coins, manage afterward?
Fortunately, today's construction had already been consumed by the old goblin Bob, who built a prison. Otherwise, there would be no place for the old goblin to stay. Liu Siyi didn't trust him to run around freely. If he went out and no one was watching him, what if he gathered the original orc troops and took over the orc race?
Of course, the possibility of that was very low.
The old goblin Bob looked at Liu Siyi for a while before saying, "The recruitment just now consumed too much gold. I only have about 2,000 gold coins left. There are 137 goblins left to recruit, each costing 15 gold coins, which is 2,055 gold coins. You can take it all."
"Rustle... rustle..." The old goblin Bob poured a pile of gold coins on the ground and took a step back.
Would Liu Siyi believe him? Of course not. Perhaps the idea of training his fellow goblins into heroes attracted him, or perhaps he wanted to see Liu Siyi's abilities, so he took out so much gold. But what did it matter? As long as this could succeed, Liu Siyi believed the old goblin would provide more resources. Just think, earning 375 gold coins a day, how much would be in the storage of this old, seemingly frail goblin?
Recruited troops appear in their respective troop buildings. You can recruit them at the city heart or in the troop buildings.
Liu Siyi wouldn't recruit them now. In the chaos, if these goblins were killed by Dao Lang or Phoenix, it would be a joke.
Leading the old goblin out of the city hall, the sounds of battle outside had almost disappeared, but the noise was still continuous. The native residents of the city were making a lot of noise, and many, seeing no invaders, had followed the transformed wild monsters of the original city's regular army.
"Bob, now it's your time to control the situation," Liu Siyi said to Bob, not wanting to get an empty city.
"But you haven't fulfilled your promise yet."
"Whether I can fulfill my promise or not, you don't want this city to become an empty city, do you?"
"Fine, this is the last time I'll help you before you fulfill your promise."
The two looked at each other. Liu Siyi had no way to gather the residents. He didn't want such a loss, but what could he do? Could he do it with just three people and three seventh-tier troops? Impossible.
The old goblin Bob didn't want this either. This was the place where he had lived for countless years, with deep feelings. If he let it go, the outcome would be uncertain.
"I am the city lord, old goblin Bob. Everyone, stop resisting. I have something to say to everyone. Please gather in the square in front of the city hall, don't run around." Looking at the chaotic city, Liu Siyi was startled by the sudden loud voice. Turning his head, he saw that the old Bob had somehow gotten a megaphone and was shouting.
"I am the city lord, old goblin Bob. Everyone, stop resisting. I have something to say to everyone. Please gather in the square in front of the city hall, don't run around. ..."
It had to be said, Bob's prestige was still high. As soon as his voice rang out, the noise in the city immediately became extremely faint, and finally, it was almost inaudible.
Bob shouted several times, and the residents of the city, even some of the original city's regular army that had been transformed into wild monsters, also came to the square. Dao Lang, Lexus, and Phoenix also stopped their killing due to the lack of orc resistance and stopped near the city hall.
Seeing the human standing next to Bob and the powerful seventh-tier troops nearby, the crowd buzzed again, discussing among themselves.
"Seventh-tier troops are so powerful, no wonder this human dared to attack us..."
"Who is this human? Is he the one who occupied our city?"
"Why is City Lord Bob with this human?"
...
Hearing the various chaotic discussions, and seeing that most people had arrived, Bob said again, "Everyone, be quiet, listen to me. This is the new city lord, Lord Lewis..."
"Buzz!..." As soon as they heard that this human was the new city lord, the noise became even more intense.
"Quiet!"
"Quiet!"
"Quiet!"
Bob said it three times, each louder than the last, finally making the noise subside.
"Everyone, listen to me. If you are dissatisfied, you can leave freely."
Liu Siyi glanced at Bob and nodded. Making promises without his permission, what was he up to?
Liu Siyi considered himself quite enlightened, and giving power to his subordinates was no problem, it just depended on how they performed. Now, in public, he could only let him have his way for the moment.
"Everyone should now realize that I am no longer the city lord. The current city lord is this human, Lord Lewis."
The discussion started again, but this time it came and went quickly.
"Lord Lewis hopes I will lead everyone to follow him and assist him in managing this city. We talked a lot, and he gave me a promise: to recruit all the goblins by next week and train ten heroes from them."
"Buzz!" Another wave of discussion, but this time it was even louder and more chaotic.
Heroes were rare, requiring endless training or countless battles to become heroes. Although the orc city had produced a few heroes over the years, there were currently only four, including Bob. The other three were unknown. This meant that the only visible heroes in the city now were Bob and this human hero, showing how precious heroes were.
Yet, this human boldly claimed he could train ten heroes in two days. Only the great orc god could do such a thing. If this human really did it, following such a powerful human would be an honor.
Of course, this human couldn't do it.
All the orcs thought this, including Lya and Lina. Bob continued, "We all know this is very difficult, so I, goblin Bob, swear to the orc god: 'If this human can train one hero from the newly recruited goblins, I, goblin Bob, will truly submit to him!'"
"So, I hope everyone stays and witnesses this with me."
Indeed, one should never underestimate any intelligent being in this world. Liu Siyi secretly laughed. Even if he couldn't do it, did you think a few words could make me lose face and leave on my own?
"Can I use this for a moment?" It was a question, but the tone was very firm. Without waiting for Bob's agreement, Liu Siyi took the megaphone.
Amplifier: First-tier treasure, sound transmission range +1.
As soon as he held it, the information about the megaphone appeared. Unexpectedly, this amplifier was also a first-tier treasure.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since Bob has said so, I, Liu Siyi, will also keep my word. Training ten goblin heroes is indeed very difficult, but training heroes is definitely possible. I only hope that after I demonstrate my abilities, I can gain your support, and we can develop our city together. I promise to make your lives better."
