The group of goblins heard Robur's Boss suggestion.

It was an agreedment, if they followed the rules.

First, those who wished to agree, would have to relocate their nest into a new area, wich was owned by Robur's Boss.

Second, they would be provided with food, in exchange, they would have to defend their new nest until their deaths, if any goblin abandoned their nest and came back afterwards, they would not be welcomed back, instead, they would be sacrificed to the Big Red Boss.

Third, only those who are deemed worthy by the Big Boss could enter his home, those who are caught doing so without permission would be sentenced to death.

Fourth, stealing was forbidden, Big Boss would be the one to decide the punishment for the guilty.

As Robur told the conditions to the elder and the three goblins, I decided to spawn a new wood door, this one was on the exit tile as it was meant to prevent outsiders to easily enter my territorial body.

Spoiler: Spoiler

After the goblins heard Robur's words, silence fell upon that part of the cave and then, finally one of the level 2 goblins finally spoke.

"Elder, what we do?"

"I agree." The level 3 goblin agreed to the proposal as he looked at Robur.

"Me agree what elder say." Spoke the second level 2 goblin.

The elder remained quiet, grabbing his beard again, trying to decide.

"I, if Big Boss give food and protection, me agrees..." The elder told Robur.

"Good! Good! You safe with Boss!" Robur shouted, having new goblin friends made him very happy.

The three goblins punched their chests and laughed as they would finally have some food while the elder remained a bit worried but still smiled to hide it.

(Tell them to prepare to move at once, the entire nest must be moved as fast as possible, I am sure the Maktraka clan hunters that ran away will return with reinforcements to wipe out all goblins in here!)

"Wha! Yes Boss!" Robur rose up and punched his chest then shouted at the goblins. "We move now! Maktraka clan will come to kill! Come come!"

The 3 goblins got startled, making a worried face, who now remembered the 3 enemies that ran away, they would surely return for revenge.

All 3 rose up. "Elder, we must go!" The level 3 goblin spoke to the elder, while grabbing his arm to help him stand up.

"Gather all goblins! Me must speak to them now!" The elder told the goblins, who then ran out to bring everyone.

After a few minutes, all goblins gathered around the elder, as he spoke to every goblin, Robur and the Imp waited on outside the cave.

(Robur.)

"Yes Boss?"

(Remember, only those chosen can enter our home, all the rest will stay at the old ratmen nest, okay?)

"Boss, the chosen get Boss mark?" The goblin asked me as he poked his 8 tattoo.

(Yes.)

Robur smiled and pulled out his chest with pride upon hearing my answer then turned into the cave's entrance, the goblins were now leaving.

While the elder took lead, the three higher level goblins stood in the back protecting the rear while some of the level 1 goblins were helping the weak goblins.

The Elder smiled to Robur. "Please, guide us."

Robur nodded, smiled back, then turned his back and waved his back. "Come! Follow!"

The goblins were on their way.

My second Imp stood guard at the cave entrance all day, the 5 cubs only did 4 things, wake up, eat a slime, play a bit and take a nap.

From time to time, the cubs adored chewing and gave a few bites on the blankets and baskets, this gave me another small info about the items, as the moment they would release those, they would instantly return to normal.

(They are so adorable...)

I called the 5 cubs into the Heart Core room to warn them that a goblin group would arrive shortly.

After informing them, they were free to leave, 4 cubs left with haste to the sleeping chamber to play, leaving the cub that only speaks alone with me.

(What is it?)

"Patriarch, isn't there anything we can help you with?" The cub spoke.

(Let me think, theres not much to do, for now, just protect our home?)

"Okay! I will tell my sisters!" The cub shouted.

(Sisters?)

"Yes! We are all sisters!" The cub informed me before rushing out of the room.

After the cub left, leaving me surprised.

"He is a she? Are you fucking kidding with me? No males? How will I get more gray cubs? Oh wait... Even if there was a male, breeding with siblings can give retards... No wait! How do I even know this?"

Then more weird questions appeared in my mind.

"WHAT A SECOND! AM I A FEMALE OR A MALE? HOW DOES MY RACE REPRODUCE?!?" The giant red eye now started to bluntly rotate randomly around.

While I was wondering if I was born out of a fart, brought over by the canal of a female or if a bird brought me from the sky of the Void trough error 404, the goblin group was already walking up the path, reaching the tunnel's entrance where my second Imp stood guard.

"Maybe theres a factory in the Void that produces us? Well, at least my voice sounds manly enough! Oh, they are already here? That was fast!"

With the group arriving, I immediately ordered both Imps to run into the exit of the ratmens old nest that led to my territorial body, for now, each would stay in one of the sides as guards watching the goblins settling in the big room.

(Robur ask the elder if any of the goblins dangerously close to death.)

"Okay Boss!"

With a few exchanges of words with the elder, the two of them checked the weakest wounded goblins.

"Uh, Boss, none will die if they eat today!" Robur informed me.

It was a stupid question that I made, after all, if there was such a goblin, he would have died along the way.

(So theres no need to take "emergency" minions, okay, Robur gather the strongest goblin and the elder, bring them to the nearest door, I want you to give them my words in private.)

"Yes Boss!"

At this point, the goblins were settled, all capable fighting goblins would stay near the exit of the room, while the wounded, children and women resided in the center of the room and as agreed, none of them would even get close to the tunnel that the Imps were guarding.

The 2 goblins followed Robur, but before that, the elder spoke a few words and 6 able goblins leaded by one of the level 2 goblins left the new goblin nest room to guard the entrance.

After a few steps, the two goblins stopped while Robur kept walking forward only to stop and turn back.

"What? Come!" Robur told the group.

"We allowed?" The elder asked as he stared at the two red demons guarding the entrance, they were a bit fearful of them, especially the 5 level Imp wich horns were now so long that their tips started to rotate to the back.

"You allowed, Boss says you come now!" The goblin assured his kin.

"Okay!" The two goblins answered in union.

A couple more steps the goblins reached the first wood door wich stayed closed.

"Boss, what now?" Robur asked me.

(Tell them that they now can choose to pass that door, if they do so, they will receive my mark and will have to pledge their allegiance to me!)

"YES BOSS!" Robur sudenly screamed, scaring the goblins a bit.

He then turned to the two goblins and spoke while pointing to the door.

"Big Red Boss give choice, accept Boss as Boss! And get blessing! Not accept? Then leave!"

The level 3 goblin looked at the elder, wondering what to do while the Elder let out a sigh of relief as he thought something worse would happen to them.

"We accept blessing!" He smiled and took a step forward, this moment, the door in front of them opened.

Once the door was open, the goblins stood still, staring at what was in front of them, a new closed door, but most importantly, 5 small gray wolf cubs with red eyes lined up in front of it, standing guard.

"LET THEM IN!" A thunderous shout came from behind the door and the cubs immediately stepped aside, giving room for the goblins to walk.

Robur looked at the goblins, who were scared shitless by the shout, he chuckled for a bit before stepping forward passing by the them.

"Come come! Boss waiting!" He waved his arm for the two to follow him while the wood door also opened.

Slowly the goblins stepped forward again, finally entering the heart core room, gazing upon a monstrous fireball upon the top of a stone altar.

After entering, suddenly the red ball rotated 160 degrees, revealing that in truth, the fireball was in fact, an eye.

"WELCOME GOBLINS!" It shouted towards the group.

The first to speak back was the Elder.

"You Big Red Boss?" He asked Red.

"YES!" The eye shouted with all its strength.

(Did his loyalty just increase by 5?)

"I follow Big Red Boss!" The elder slowly kneeled.

"Me follow Boss!" The level 3 goblin finally spoke.

2 goblins want to become your minions, it will cost 50 mana for each, costing a total of 100!

Do you accept them?

Yes? No?

(Yes!)

"VERY WELL! RECEIVE MY BLESSING!" I shouted again towards the goblins, on this moment 2 fire spirits left my eye, each surrounding one of the goblins.

(Just two of them swallows almost all of my mana, but I guess its acceptable, every 50 minutes I can get a new goblin!)

As I was lost in my thoughts, my new minions released squeaks as they dropped on their knees, feeling pain as an 8 tattoo morphed on their left shoulders.

Goblin has reached level 4!

Goblin has reached level 4!

"Boss! Thank for blessing!" The elder shouted in joy.

"Good, now as promised, I will give you food for all goblins! Robur take them to the Food storage! You three shall pick all the slimes you can to give them to the goblins!" I commanded my minions.

"YES BOSS!" The three shouted in union.

For the first time in a while, all the goblins had a nice fat lunch, and each of them ate well and filled their bellies.

What made me happy was that the every goblin loyalty was now above 60.

Almost 100 slimes were used, but it was fine as before the goblins arrived, I had kept spawning them, after they were done with their meal, I had now 324 slimes.

Overrall I only needed 2 hours of mana to spawn enough slimes for each meal, taking at around 6 hours a day to produce them, of course I was not counting the meat that was still preserved.

Once they were all done eating, the elder and the level 3 goblin followed Robur into the sleeping chamber, wich it immediately spawned two new small beds, upon this, I ordered them to carry the furs handing on the walls to the goblin nest room.

With my three goblin minions, each used a fur, 5 of them remained, so I decided to give them to the females so they could put them together so they could have a proper place for them and the babies to rest.

With the rest of the day, I ordered Robur to lead the level 1 and 2 goblins into the forest right near the path of the mountain, it was not to scout, even if I thought that the clubs the low-level goblins had were just pretty much simple sticks, it was better than nothing, so the party spent the rest of the day looking for wood and rocks that could be used as weapons.

My territory now had 3 goblins, 2 Imps, 5 gray wolf cubs along with the potential recruitment of 2 level 2 goblins, 14 level 1 goblins (8 female and 6 male), 5 baby goblins and 4 wounded goblins.

As the day reached its closure and the night was near, Robur returned with a stash of "clubs", sticks and rocks and after everyone had their own stick, the rest was stored in the heart core room.

Suddenly, out of nowhere.

Workshop is now available!
