The next moment.
With a "bang!"
He kicked out, landing on the Demon Snake Naga's long, green-scaled snake tail.
"Ah!" The Demon Snake Naga let out a miserable scream, a crisp sound of bone fracture came from his snake tail, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Lyle lifted his foot and stepped on the Demon Snake Naga's head, his expression unchanged: "It seems you didn't quite understand the matter I entrusted to you before."
"My only requirement is the large-scale raising of Goblins."
The intense pain coming from his tail made a look of terror appear on the Demon Snake Naga's face. The foot stepping on his head made it so that no matter how the Demon Snake Naga struggled, he was firmly pressed to the ground.
"Great powerhouse, I understand, I understand!"
The Demon Snake Naga wailed in pain, scaring the surrounding numerous Ghost Hounds and giant snakes into shrinking their heads and shivering.
Lyle withdrew his foot and looked at the Demon Snake Naga: "How long will it take to gather all these Goblins?"
"With the people from the Hobgoblin tribe here, it will only take three days, no, two days."
The Demon Snake Naga lay on the ground, curled up, and spoke in a panic.
This Human Race had become even more terrifying!
Lyle nodded slightly. Two months or so to expand the Goblin population to eighty thousand was actually quite good.
It was just that compared to the number he had calculated in his mind, it was still far off.
Of course, he wouldn't deal with this number of Goblins now. After all, it had only been about two months, and even if Goblins grew fast, most of them were not yet adults at this stage.
"With the reproductive capacity of Goblins, in an environment without danger, the number shouldn't be only this much."
Lyle looked at the Demon Snake Naga lying on the ground and asked calmly.
"It's food!" The Demon Snake Naga endured the intense pain and hurriedly said:
"These Goblins are too prolific and also eat a lot. The ordinary wild beasts in the forest are basically the food for this group of Goblins."
"If not restricted, those ordinary wild beasts would definitely be eaten up by this group of Goblins."
More than eighty thousand Goblins distributed in the Great Forest of Tob were indeed not many in number, but the destructive power caused was very huge.
And ordinary wild beasts were not as prolific as Goblins. In the long run, the ecology of the entire Great Forest of Tob would be affected.
Hearing this, Lyle looked at the Demon Snake Naga with some surprise. He didn't expect the other party to consider the issue of ecology, and at the same time, he realized where he had been negligent.
Goblins were an omnivorous demi-human race.
Besides meat, they could eat many things; they could even survive by eating dirt.
The problem was, in the presence of meat, Goblins obviously wouldn't eat dirt. Even if forced to feed on dirt, it would inevitably affect the Goblins' reproductive numbers and growth conditions.
Regarding a pathway to obtain a large amount of experience, Lyle naturally attached importance to it.
"I thought about the matter a bit too simply."
According to the experience from his past life, the problem of raising boils down to three things: environment, food, and disease prevention.
The two problems of environment and disease prevention could be ignored; Goblins had extremely strong adaptability to any environment and naturally liked dirty, damp places.
So, the key point was food!
When the number of Goblins increased, relying solely on the ecological system of the Great Forest of Tob would likely be unsustainable, so food would need to be obtained from the outside world.
Lyle frowned slightly.
He did have a few thousand gold coins on him, which was completely enough for personal use, but if used to raise tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Goblins, it wouldn't be enough at all.
Or rather!
Relying solely on personal power to raise a huge demi-human tribe was simply impossible!
But the power of a kingdom would have no problem.
"Eight Fingers."
Lyle's eyes flashed.
"Eight Fingers" was a huge underground organization. Relying on the power of Eight Fingers, he could easily obtain a large amount of food from the Re-Estize Kingdom.
In this different world, due to the existence of magic, the difficulty of planting or obtaining ordinary food was not high.
Especially compared to magical items, the value could even be ignored as cheap.
"Before the end of December, break the number of Goblins to 100,000."
"In addition, it's too troublesome for Goblins to be scattered throughout the Great Forest of Tob. Find a way to gather them in one place and minimize movement."
While Lyle spoke to the Demon Snake Naga, he took out an Alchemy potion and threw it over.
The Demon Snake Naga, covered in cold sweat, hurriedly acknowledged and quickly picked up the Alchemy potion that had fallen to the ground and drank it in one gulp.
The pain from the broken snake tail recovered quickly with the healing of the Alchemy potion.
When the Demon Snake Naga raised his head again, he found that Lyle's figure had already disappeared.
Lava Zone.
Hot temperatures and crimson light emerged.
Lyle, who had returned using Teleportation magic, saw the Ghost Hound at the first glance and raised his hand to rub the Ghost Hound's smooth black fur.
"The trivial matters are done, next is the real business."
While stroking the Ghost Hound, Lyle muttered softly.
The situation on both the Twin Witches' and the Demon Snake Naga's sides had stabilized again with his appearance.
He raised his arm.
The corpse of the Grey Dwarf Duan, the Minister of Forging, appeared on the ground.
"Resurrection!" Lyle's magic power shook, and he activated the fifth-tier Resurrection magic.
The cold corpse of the Minister of Forging quickly recovered its heartbeat, suddenly opened its mouth, and sat up gasping for air.
Before the Minister of Forging's consciousness was completely clear.
"All-Race Charm."
The Minister of Forging's breathing paused, and he stood up from the ground with a dull gaze, standing respectfully in front of Lyle.
"To replicate those four highest-tier Runic script, what are the requirements?" Lyle looked at the Minister of Forging and asked.
"Only a Rune Smith possesses the ability to inscribe Runic script. To re-replicate that great technology, the more Rune Smiths, the better."
The Minister of Forging spoke slowly.
Lyle nodded thoughtfully and then asked about other requirements.
After learning the various conditions, Lyle felt slightly reassured. It seemed that although the success rate was not high, he had to try.
"Sure enough, a trip to the Dwarven race will have to be made sooner or later." Lyle turned around, his gaze looking far toward the direction of the mountain range in the south of the Lava Zone.
Other than Rune Technology, there was indeed nothing else among the Dwarven race worth caring about that Lyle could value.
Even the Treasure Trove of the Dwarven race was not in the hands of the Dwarves now, but occupied by those few Frost Dragons, especially the Dwarven race's treasury, which was protected by defensive magic constructed by Rune Technology.
Even the Bone King had to use Advanced items to break it; Lyle had no ideas at all. Rather than focusing on the Dwarven race's treasury, it was better to aim for the Treasure Trove possessed by the Frost Dragons.
Speaking of which, the cave of the Ancient Fire Dragon should also contain a large amount of Treasure Trove.
However!
Lyle didn't know the location of the Ancient Fire Dragon's cave at the moment and needed to find it.
"At the moment, it might be better not to have direct contact with the Dwarven race." Lyle's figure moved, and he had already taken off into the air, flying toward the direction outside the Lava Zone.
The Dwarven race had a total of four major cities.
The old royal capital "Fei'ao · Bekana," the southern city "Fei'ao · Leizo," the eastern city "Fei'ao · Jura," and the western city "Fei'ao · Taihuazi."
These four major cities witnessed the glory and decline of the Dwarven race. Currently, except for the eastern city where the Dwarven race lived, the other cities were either abandoned or no longer in the hands of the Dwarves.
And the current eastern city was separated from the former old royal capital by a distance that was not only remote but also very dangerous.
Between the two lay the areas known as the three major bottlenecks.
The Great Rift, the Lava Zone, and the Realm of Lost Paths!
