Accompanied by Niu Zida's fierce thrusts, the room was filled with Amelie's humiliating moans, like pleading, which echoed for a long time before fading away... After venting, Niu Zida lay on Amelie's towering, snowy peaks, leisurely savoring the soft fragrance emanating from the beautiful woman's large breasts, and said to Amelie:
"For the next period of time, you can safely continue to give me sons in the territory. After the spring, there will be war. After there are enough Goblins in the territory, I can take the Goblins out on the next expedition and let the human troops stay in the city."
"Why are you so sure that there will be war in the spring, Master? You said the same thing when recruiting refugees before."
"You will naturally know when the time comes."
As Amelie handled the cases, the human guard unit also resumed patrols. After a few days, the territory gradually stabilized, and there were fewer cases of theft and robbery. Niu Zida also knew that this was only temporary peace. If the territory's production cannot be restored this year, the security of the territory, which lacks food and clothing, will only deteriorate. People with empty stomachs are not worthy of talking about morality and law.
After a few more days, Misato Shizuku brought good news, giving birth to another Goblin Demon Swordsman. This way, there are already 4 elite-level Goblins, 2 Goblin Demon Swordsman, 1 Goblin Thunder Element Shaman, and one Goblin Assassin, but all of them are C-rank.

"It seems everyone's stats have grown quite well."
Niu Zida had all his maids stand before him, carefully checking each one's attributes. It seemed everyone's abilities had improved. The only pity was that there were currently only four elite Goblins, and the city's defense still relied on a large number of ordinary Goblins.
While these Goblins were loyal enough, their physical strength and intelligence remained issues. This was also why Niu Zida had never allowed Goblins to patrol within the city; he had no idea what kind of trouble these Goblins might cause. Of course, part of the reason was also that having human security forces patrol daily would make the residents of the territory feel more at ease. After all, people still disliked leaving familiar scenes, and even a false scene was better than bloody reality.
It was now the end of February in the 10th year of the Continental Calendar.
In the 46th year, the weather had gradually begun to warm, and it even rained. Spring rain is as precious as oil, and gradually, farmers in the surrounding territories were preparing to sow. Niu Zida specifically went to see the refugee villages he had attracted. These places had been under construction, with houses being built, farmland being planned, and drainage ditches being dug. Although he had assigned laborers who had committed crimes, their numbers were still too few, and there was a shortage of manpower.
"We can't delay the spring plowing. Bring in some Goblins."
Niu Zida placed great importance on the construction of the refugee villages, as this was the first wave of refugees attracted, and it had to set a good example. Seeing that the construction progress couldn't keep up with the spring sowing, Niu Zida simply waved his hand, ordering his Goblins to participate in the construction. He also allocated funds from the treasury to hire laborers within the city to participate in the reclamation of farmland outside the city.
"Master, if we do this, the territory's treasury will have no money left."
"If the territory is built well, a lot of taxes will naturally come in. If the territory is desolate, where would the money come from? This is an investment in your territory."
Seeing Amelie's reluctant expression, Niu Zida pinched her large breasts and said with a smile:
"Don't just think about draining the pond to catch all the fish. The lives of the residents must also be taken care of. When the residents are prosperous, your wealth will increase."
"Master doesn't seem like a Goblin; he's more like an old scholar governing a country."
Amelie hugged Niu Zida and gently complained, then smiled and knelt down, opening her tender red mouth to begin swallowing and spitting... While helping with the construction of the refugee villages, Niu Zida also continuously sent people to some of the frontier villages he had visited before that were unwilling to submit, telling them that if they encountered any danger, they could seek help from the territory. Dore Territory was still willing to protect them. Although the surrounding refugees still had doubts about Niu Zida, this action at least earned a lot of goodwill. Everyone felt that the current era of Baroness Dona was much better in terms of attitude towards the common people than before, and refugees were no longer simply seen as self-degrading, fleeing barbarians.
To ensure a quick harvest, the first batch of sowing primarily consisted of oats, as most of the land distributed to the refugees was not very good land, but rather gentle slopes and mountainous areas. It was precisely because the quality of this land was not very good that it was most easily abandoned, and thus could be allocated to the refugees.
In addition to oats, corn, potatoes, and cabbage were also planted. The construction of the refugee villages was thriving, and Niu Zida was confident that he would make this village a construction benchmark. As long as the refugee village succeeded, it could be spread throughout the directly administered territories in the future, and at the same time, attract more refugees into the territory to fill the labor gap.
About half a month passed, and while Niu Zida was still focused on the construction within the territory, he suddenly received a plea for help. A pioneer village that had previously rejected Niu Zida's invitation was attacked by a barbarian tribe, and they hoped the lord could help them.
"What are barbarians?"
"They are a collective term for demi-human tribes like Orcs, Goblins, and Elves. If the composition is relatively uniform, they will be called Orc tribes, Goblin tribes, or Goblin tribes. But if they are mixed, they will be called barbarian tribes. These barbarian tribes sometimes might even have humans mixed among them."
Hearing Amelie's explanation, Niu Zida finally understood and said to the person who came for help:
"Don't worry, I will bring people to help you. I said that even if you don't enter the lord's directly administered territory, that area is still within the jurisdiction of Dore Territory, and the lord will still protect them."
The person who came was desperate and only then remembered what Niu Zida had said, deciding to try their luck. They didn't expect Dore Territory to actually send troops and immediately knelt down, expressing endless gratitude.
