The caravan that had set out with over a hundred people had grown to three or four hundred on the return trip, the majority of whom were goblins.
Zhou Zhengping was well aware that the large number of goblins might attract the covetous gazes of other teams.
After all, the market value of goblins was indeed not low.
This group of goblins, if sold, could probably fetch over a thousand gold coins.
Therefore, on the return journey, Zhou Zhengping did not take the main roads but instead took lesser-known forest paths and had the soldiers scout ahead of their advance.
In such a manner, they managed to spend the first day of the return journey smoothly.
However, as they drew closer to Hope Village, the situation became different.
"On both the main and minor roads nearby, there are people,"
"It's nearly impossible to avoid running into them."
"..."
Several scouting soldiers spoke reluctantly.
