"Lay down your weapons and you'll have a chance to live; otherwise, leave no one alive!"
The thieves were terrified. When they saw a goblin riding a beautiful woman blocking their way like a demon, surrounded by many corpses, and hearing the noisy shouts of the goblins outside, they thought they were surrounded by a goblin army at the cave entrance. Hearing that the goblin could save them, they had no choice but to surrender. In no time, at least a hundred thieves in the cave were disarmed by Niu Zida riding Yor.
After the thieves surrendered, Niu Zida ordered them to find ropes and tie themselves together. Once they were almost all tied up, he had them walk out of the cave one by one in a chain. Niu Zida counted them and there were a total of ninety-seven people.
Niu Zida originally wanted to go into the cave to wipe out the bandits, but with so many thieves outside, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control them if they stayed inside for too long. After all, he only had a few dozen goblins here. So he decided to set a fire and burn the bandits' main lair to the ground.
To ensure that the person Yor had just killed was indeed the bandit leader, Niu Zida brought in other prisoners to confirm. He was only relieved after confirming that he had indeed killed the bandit leader. At the same time, he also had the prisoners identify the second-in-command.
After capturing the band of thieves, Niu Zida ordered the goblins to escort them to the vicinity of the farmhouse stronghold overnight. Then, he sent someone to fetch Aponia from the village, and in front of all the prisoners, he had Joel kill the bandits' second-in-command. Afterward, he had the goblins drag the second-in-command's body away in front of everyone to make it into cured meat for winter.
The band of thieves were trembling with fear at Niu Zida's hands. Taking advantage of their fear, Aponia arrived and used her powers of discipline, allowing the thieves to live a good life from now on. She permitted them to clear wasteland and rebuild houses for the village as a form of atonement, and forbade them from harming the villagers again. Overwhelmed by fear, the thieves all knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, afraid that if they disagreed, they would become goblin food like their leader.
In reality, Niu Zida was simply using fear to force Aponia to implement combat discipline to control the group of thieves. After all, with hundreds of thieves, if he didn't utilize Aponia's discipline sooner, he would only have a few dozen villagers and goblins on his side. Once the thieves realized that there were only a few people on his side, he would still be unable to control them.
These hundreds of thieves could be a valuable source of labor if used properly, and it would be a waste to kill them. Besides, some of them were from surrounding villages, and Niu Zida thought that keeping them around would make it easier to subdue other villages in the future.
By using fear to temporarily control the bandits, Niu Zida has bought time for his goblins to reproduce. Once he has a large number of goblins, his numerical advantage will eliminate any fear of losing control. As for making cured meat, that's just a tactic. While goblins do eat human corpses when hungry, Niu Zida won't allow his goblins to do so. If they get used to cannibalism, they'll have difficulty coexisting with humans, which doesn't align with his expansion plans. Furthermore, killing the second-in-command eliminates future threats and prevents these surrendered bandits from rebelling under someone else's leadership.
"I never expected that four or five hundred thieves would be defeated by Master so easily. Master is truly amazing."
Seeing that Niu Zida had managed to defeat and even subdue the bandit gang that had plagued the village for over a year in just a few days, Aponia expressed her sincere admiration. Not only Aponia, but even Misato Shizuku on the side was completely impressed by Niu Zida's strategic planning. To achieve such results against hundreds of bandits with a group of weak goblins who were inferior in both number and quality, this person's ability was indeed not to be underestimated.
"It's nothing, just a bunch of bandits. We need to make good use of their labor force to rebuild the village. Also, Aponia, now that you've successfully recognized me as your master, shouldn't you come to my bed and give me a son?"
"Since I am the master's maid, I will naturally obey the master's orders."
Upon hearing Niu Zida's words, Aponia blushed and lowered her head, softly replying...
Chapter Thirty-Three: Aponia's Services
Chapter 33.
Niu Zida and his group, escorting the prisoners and carrying the spoils of war, returned to the vicinity of the village. After counting the few prisoners still captured in the village, they concluded that a total of 107 thieves had been captured. About 50 corpses were collected along the way. Of course, some bodies that had fallen into mountain streams and cliffs could not be found in caves. Including the statistics obtained from questioning these prisoners in the past few days, the total number of thieves killed in the three battles was about 120. The remaining 200-plus thieves should have scattered and fled.
Their side of the goblins had a total of 75 men left, with more than a dozen killed in battle. The village side had 90 men left, with about a dozen killed in the recent conflict. Niu Zida asked Aponia to gather a dozen or so strong men in their fifties and the remaining young women together to form the village militia, and gave them weapons that had been seized from the bandits.
The remaining goblins also obtained the thieves' weapons, which they could modify slightly and use as their own. This showed that Niu Zida's side had assembled a force of nearly a hundred humans and goblins, which was at least on par with the captured thieves.
After bringing these thieves back to the village, the first step is to use the discipline ability to make them believe that they will be executed by the goblins if they do not perform well. Then, under the supervision of humans and goblins, they will begin to rebuild the village, since a large fire had burned the village almost to the ground to defend against them.
The villagers and militiamen, armed and fighting alongside the goblins, supervised another group of humans as they worked for them. This feeling was quite peculiar for them. Of course, considering that the villagers and their goblins could not completely trust each other, Niu Zida roughly divided them into two groups: the villagers and militiamen took turns on duty during the day, and the goblins took turns on duty at night to watch over these thief prisoners as they worked.
These captured thieves could not simply be treated as forced laborers. Niu Zida ordered that if they performed well and worked diligently, some of the thieves could be recruited into the village militia to assist in supervision, thus avoiding the need for manual labor. On the first day, a hardworking young man from a neighboring village was freed and recruited into the village militia. The prisoners were also told that there would be one spot available each month, so that they would know that hard work could also help them escape the fate of being captured and forced laborers.
Aunt Liddell was naturally brought to the village to live with everyone. Her original farmhouse was left in the same place because Aunt Liddell was afraid that her husband and son would worry if they came back one day and couldn't find her. So she left a note in the farmhouse saying that she had moved to a nearby village and that if they came back and couldn't find her, they should come to the village to look for her.
After finishing these arrangements, three or four days had passed. Although he said he wanted to have a child with Aponia, he couldn't find the time to spare these past few days. Only after everything was settled did Niu Zida finally have some free time. Of course, to avoid the gaps in the maids' pregnancy, he had to stagger their pregnancy times. For now, he still had the three maids take turns supervising them every day. After all, he wasn't comfortable relying solely on goblins or village militias; he needed the strong military power of his own maids as a deterrent.
Niu Zida now mainly lives in the church in Aponia, and has made it his new base. Of course, his aunt Liddell is still in charge of his daily life. She has set up a goblin sentry post in the attic, with two goblin guards at the front and back gates. In fact, the goblin guards at the front and back gates are just a decoy. If there is any real danger, the two goblin guards probably wouldn't be able to hold out for even a minute.
The remaining goblins were gathered by Niu Zida and lived in the western part of the village. Since the village was almost completely burned down, rebuilding the houses would allow them to reshape the village layout. There were also plans to build a rammed earth wall around the village. However, it was winter, and digging for maps was not easy, so they would have to wait another month until spring before construction could begin. For the time being, three large communal houses were built for convenience: one to hold prisoners, one for villagers, and one for goblins. After all, it was the coldest time of year, and it was most important to build houses so that everyone had a place to stay from the cold.
We're not too worried about food supplies, as we've seized a considerable amount of grain from the thieves. If we're careful with our supplies, it should last us for at least a few months. Once spring arrives and the weather warms up, we can organize people to cultivate the land and plant crops like potatoes, cabbages, radishes, and oats. Potatoes, in particular, can usually be harvested in three months.
After arranging all this, Niu Zida could finally relax and give birth with Aponia. Of course, before that, he wanted to have Aponia hold him and give him a nice bath. The conditions in the church were much better than in the farmhouse. There was a private bathroom and five rooms. One room was for Aunt Liddell, and the other two were divided into two: one for the maids and one for Niu Zida himself. If he needed the maids' services at night, he could call them to his room. The remaining rooms were used as a nursery and a storeroom.
Aponia gently held Niu Zida in her arms and carefully helped him clean his body in the bathroom. He had been busy with battles and work recently, and to be honest, Niu Zida's body was indeed covered in dust and needed to be cleaned.
Feeling Aponia's soft hands scooping up hot water and pouring it onto his body, Niu Zida hugged Aponia's soft, white body and rubbed against her warm, large breasts. He had finally gotten this beautiful woman as his maid after going through so much hardship. These breasts were the best reward for his hard work recently.
"Please don't move it, otherwise it won't be clean."
"There's nothing we can do about it, Aponia, you're just too charming."
Holding those two large breasts, kissing and licking them, Niu Zida was completely intoxicated by the beautiful woman's fragrance.
Hearing Niu Zida's words, a slight blush appeared on Aponia's fair and alluring face, but she still gently cleaned every part of Niu Zida's body. Finally, when she reached a certain point, Niu Zida could no longer help but say:
“Aponia, turn around and hold onto the tub, then turn your butt up.”
Understanding her master's command, Aponia turned and, using her delicate hands to support herself on the edge of the tub, the short goblin thrust himself into the wet, tight place...
Afterwards, Aponia, drenched in sweat, lay sprawled on the edge of the bathtub, while Niu Zida, panting heavily, rested on the beautiful woman's back. The passion of the moment had faded, and the only sound in the bathroom was the slow, steady breathing of the two of them.
"I really hope an elite goblin can be born."
"Yes, Master, I will work hard."
Upon hearing Niu Zida's exclamation, Aponia actually answered. Niu Zida never expected that such a beautiful woman would have such a charming and innocent side, which made him like Aponia even more.

Chapter Thirty-Four.
After a fierce battle, Niu Zida, panting heavily, lay on Aponia's beautiful back to rest. He could still play with Aponia's snow-white breasts and rub them for a while until he was rested enough. Then Aponia carried Niu Zida out of the bathtub, since the hot water inside had cooled down after the long battle and he would catch a cold if he stayed in there.
Back in the room, Aponia lay on the bed again, letting the short Niu Zida lie on top of her delicate body. She once again parted her snow-white skin to welcome Niu Zida for a second time.
After this was over, Niu Zida finally released all the pressure he had been accumulating recently. Lying in Aponia's arms, he gently squeezed her large snowflakes in her tender embrace and checked her status.
Aponia Panel Properties:
Combat Talent:
Speed: 96
Power: 91
Agility: 92
Magic: 63
Special skill: Aphrodisiac

Corruption Value: 49
It seems that Aponia's stats have increased to some extent since she was first acquired. Now, the only thing to look forward to is whether the goblin Aponia is pregnant with this time can produce an elite species.
"Not bad, not bad. Looking at the stats now, Aponia, you're the best."
"Master, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course, we should breed more goblins. We can still have enough food if we conserve it. By breeding more goblins, we can cultivate the nearby wasteland, control the surrounding villages, and then see how things develop outside before making any further plans. Isn't the Kingdom of Altaïr always at war? By the way, Aponia, how much do you know about the outside world?"
“I have lived in this small village since I came into this world, and they only didn’t take me away because I am a nun.”
"By the way, what religion does your church follow?"
"It's the Church of the Holy Maiden. It's the state religion of Altaïr, and even the entire continent. The Church of the Holy Maiden believes that there is only one true God in the world, and the Holy Maiden is someone who descends to earth to guide humanity in cultivation in place of the God. Everything in the world is a gift from God to humanity, including the monarch, laws, weather, land, happiness, and suffering. These are all trials. As long as you can pass the trials, you can enter heaven after death. Therefore, the Church of the Holy Maiden advises people to do good and not to complain about their experiences in the world."
"Huh? You actually believe in this religion?"
"No, I only believe in fate."
"Then why are you still a nun in this religion?"
"It's just to gain trust in this village."
The reason this Holy Maiden Church became the state religion was probably because it encouraged people to do good, allowing them to accept the ruler's control under the guise of accepting heartbreak. This is also a condition for the rapid secularization of this type of religion. However, I can also use this to establish my legitimacy in future expansion. Even if I am a goblin, I can say that I am a divine messenger sent to the human world to give humanity trials, inspired by the gods. But that's a matter for later. I should first consider how to survive in this remote place.
The next morning, Niu Zida rode Misato Shizuku to supervise the prisoners in the village to continue working. Now, the three maids, except for Joel, Aponia and Misato Shizuku, were also wearing leather corsets, stirrups, and collars. Reins were attached to the collars so that Niu Zida could lie on their beautiful backs to hold onto them and maintain his balance to prevent him from falling.
The main task now is to have the prisoners cut down timber and build houses for the village. Although the three large communal houses were built quickly, they are only temporary residences and can be used as warehouses later, not the villagers' future homes. Taking advantage of the fact that it is not yet spring and the farm work is not busy, I am currently supervising these prisoners to quickly build houses, warehouses, and some economic buildings such as blacksmith shops in the village. In fact, there is another purpose: Niu Zida wants to find more things for these prisoners to do, so that they are not idle, otherwise they are prone to causing trouble.
"It seems these prisoners are doing quite well; they're all working obediently."
"After all, they're worried that if they don't do it well, it'll end up being used to make cured meat."
Perched on Shizuku Misato's beautiful back, inhaling the fragrance of the long-haired beauty's hair, Ushiko Tatsu and Shizuku chatted idly while Ushiko Tatsu supervised her. At the same time, Ushiko Tatsu could also take the opportunity to reach out and stroke Shizuku Misato's large snow-white hair. Since the village battle, Shizuku Misato had acknowledged Ushiko Tatsu's abilities. Although she didn't say it explicitly, the fact that she wore a leather corset, had stirrups hanging on her slender waist, and a neck ring around her snow-white neck with reins attached, and was willing to be ridden by Ushiko Tatsu, proved her attitude.
"There's no other way. After all, if we want to control this group of people, we can only use fear in the early stages."
Niu Zida could only smile bitterly. He never expected that human prejudice against goblins would become a means for him to control humans. However, goblins did eat human flesh before, so thinking about it this way, it wasn't really prejudice, was it?
"It really does have the owner's style."
"Haha, that's... Hey? What did you call me?"
"Idiot, if your hearing doesn't work, you can donate it to someone who needs it."
"No, Shizuku Misato, you're calling me master?"
"What's wrong? If you're unhappy, you don't have to call me."
"No, no, I haven't had enough. It's so beautiful. Can you sing it again?"
"Foolish master..."
Hearing Niu Zida's excited voice, Misato Shizuku couldn't help but add a sarcastic chuckle. Niu Zida was naturally pleased to hear the beautiful woman change her tune, and he pinched Misato Shizuku's large breasts hard, kneading them a few times, prompting the beautiful woman to complain:
"Silly master, don't be so mean. It's too embarrassing if someone sees my school uniform wrinkled."
"What's wrong with that? Misato Shizuku, you're my maid."
"Then don't embarrass yourselves. Just like last night, everyone knows what Miss Aponia and you did."
"Huh? How did they know all that?"
“Miss Aponia, you’re shouting so loudly, do you think we’re deaf? Miss Joel and I sleep in the next room, of course we can hear everything clearly.”
Misato Shizuku complained with a dissatisfied tone, as if to prove her point, and then yawned to show that she really hadn't slept well last night.
"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I have to work hard to expand the goblin population. And it's not just Aponia. In a few days, once Aponia is sure she's pregnant, it'll be your turn, Shizuku Misato."
"Perverted master, I knew you would do this."
Although Shizuku Misato made a comment, she didn't object at all, and instead tacitly approved of the arrangement that Ushiko Tatsu's maid would subsequently become pregnant...
Chapter Thirty-Five: Daily Life in the Village, Part 2
Chapter Thirty-Five.
Although the supervisor's work was somewhat boring, if he could ride on Supervisor Misato Shizuku, smell the fragrance of the long-haired beauty's hair, and even touch her daiyukiko, it wouldn't be unbearable for Ushiko Tatsumi. Especially after the battle in the village, because of her recognition of Ushiko Tatsumi's abilities, although Misato Shizuku still often attacked him with sharp words, she no longer refused his playing with and touching of her body. In terms of actions, this proud beauty seemed to have accepted Ushiko Tatsumi.
"It seems the house is almost finished being built these past few days."
"With supervision, it can be done very quickly."
The supervision work entered a break at noon, and the villagers brought food to the construction site. Niu Zida did not set the food standard low just because these thieves were prisoners. It was only slightly worse than what the villagers ate for him. Moreover, Niu Zida himself ate "roughly" the same things as the villagers. After all, the village was just starting out, and he could not be given special treatment.
Shizuku Misato, holding Ushiko-da, ate a rice ball made of buckwheat mixed with sorghum and oats, with a little bit of meat, salt, and wild vegetables. Ushiko-da's food was made by the old woman, Aunt Liddell, so this rice ball was the best food available at the moment. After all, Aunt Liddell had secretly added some meat to it. The other ingredients were similar to what ordinary villagers ate, and it looked the same on the outside.
"How is it, Shizuku Misato? Do you think this rice ball is delicious?"
"well enough."
Judging from Shizuku Misato's expression, she didn't really like this kind of food. However, the proud and beautiful girl didn't want to complain too much about what she ate. After all, everyone ate the same thing, and she even ate better than others, so she really didn't have the right to say anything about it.
"Shizuku Misato, as a maid, feed your master."
"This perverted owner is really troublesome."
Upon hearing Niu Zida's command, Misato Shizuku could only offer the rice ball to Niu Zida's mouth with her snow-white, soft hands. However, Niu Zida opened his mouth, allowing Misato Shizuku to continue feeding him, while his hands could comfortably knead Misato Shizuku's large breasts.
"Honestly, they can't even behave properly while eating."
Although she complained about Niu Zida, Misato Shizuku did not resist his actions of playing with her big rice ball. She just blushed and slowly fed the rice ball into Niu Zida's open mouth. Occasionally, she would hand him a water bottle so that he could drink some water to avoid choking. Although she was sharp-tongued to Niu Zida, Misato Shizuku was still very attentive in serving him.
"Will this stuff be enough to fill you up, Shizuku Misato?"
"well enough."
"Tell me if you're not full, otherwise what if your Yukiko gets too thin from hunger?"
"Is this all you can say, you pervert?"
Hearing Niu Zida make such a joke, Misato Shizuku naturally rolled her eyes at him without any politeness. In retaliation, she shoved the entire rice ball into Niu Zida's mouth, forcing him to choke and whimper. He swallowed it down with difficulty, his face turning purple from choking so fast. He frantically searched for water, looking utterly disheveled, which made Misato Shizuku burst into laughter.
