I just put on a little show, but I was immediately exposed for what I really was.
Seeing that he had lost face, the leading soldier was furious.
He swung his sword again, severing the heads of two goblins, and at the same time called out to his companions behind him.
"kill!"
"Kill these goblins!"
The others behind them also charged out and killed all of the dozen or so goblins.
However, one of the young warriors seemed a little nervous and still suffered some damage while facing these weak goblins.
There was a goblin's severed hand still stuck in the seam of his armor.
The goblin suddenly jumped behind him, reached into the gap in his armor, and grabbed him by the neck.
Fortunately, a skilled warrior nearby helped him cut off the goblin's arm.
"I...I..."
The young soldier's face flushed red.
Being attacked by such a weak monster, and also being somewhat frightened, filled him with grief and indignation.
"It's alright, you'll get used to these kinds of situations with practice."
The experienced soldier next to him patted him on the shoulder and offered a word of encouragement.
The other soldiers also offered a few words of comfort.
The young soldier's emotions gradually calmed down.
They then set off towards the vicinity of the medicinal herb.
The group of five easily crushed more than a dozen goblins.
Zhao Zian silently analyzed the combat power of the other world in his mind.
In this world, the combat strength of different races may also be classified differently.
The news I heard at the tavern earlier.
The combat strength classification system for humans here is basically divided into categories such as Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
Classified according to the quality of the metal.
The strongest warrior just now was a Bronze-level warrior. In fact, with his strength alone, he could have taken down these dozen or so goblins.
The other warriors should all be of the Iron rank.
And that young warrior was probably the weakest of the Black Iron rank.
Even dealing with goblins can be a bit overwhelming.
Other skilled warriors at the Black Iron level can reliably take down goblins.
It's just that it wasn't as clean and efficient as that bronze-level warrior.
And what about his own army of ants?
Can hundreds of thousands of them overwhelm them?
Zhao Zian subconsciously compared it to his own ants, but he himself wasn't sure what to expect.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he stopped dwelling on that particular point.
For him, the current situation is like a windfall.
Zhao Zian counted them; there were 17 goblins in total.
Each one is about one meter tall, and some of the stronger ones can reach 1.1 or 1.2 meters.
After the warriors killed them, they didn't take the bodies away, probably because they thought goblins were useless.
However, this all benefited Zhao Zian.
These dozen or so chunks of meat are packed with protein and fat!
Moreover, I didn't contribute anything on my end.
Isn't this just getting something for nothing?
Zhao Zi'an loves getting things for free!
Fortunately, he played it safe and didn't rush into the battle.
Otherwise, his ant army would have suffered heavy losses.
The black beetles and red fire ants on the ground were almost completely wiped out.
During the previous conflict with the goblins, many of these insects on the ground were killed.
In addition, the aftershocks of the battle between the warriors and the goblins also affected these insects, causing some more to die.
There are very few insects left that can move on the ground.
Although his ant army was not of any use in fighting.
However, there can be absolutely no sloppiness when it comes to getting things done.
Soldier ants tear and cut the goblin's body.
The ants inside the nest, along with the worker ants that were brought out to fight, totaling 200,000, also began frantically moving things.
As for the flying ants, they stopped working and just lingered nearby.
Check if any enemies are approaching; if so, the ant army can react in time.
The queen ant in the nest is also producing food at a frantic pace; there's simply too much food for these dozen or so goblins to fit in.
The space inside the nest wasn't that big at all. Who would have thought that more than a dozen of these super-large prey would suddenly appear?
Currently, there is only the first ant and two ordinary queen ants.
Zhao Zian immediately caused Xiao Yi to give birth to some more queen ants.
Since there's plenty of food now, they simply had seven more kittens.
It came to a round number, exactly ten queen ants.
What followed was a frenzied mass production of troops.
Production was in full swing at the temporary headquarters.
They also dug several more temporary base camps, which were larger than normal, to facilitate the storage of the food.
While the ants were carrying food, some uninvited guests arrived along the way.
Some wild beasts, elves, humans, dwarves, and the like also passed through the vicinity one after another.
Fortunately, there were flying ants patrolling and scouting the area.
To avoid conflict, as soon as they arrived, Zhao Zian ordered all the ants to hide.
They started moving things as soon as they left.
These passersby basically had no interest in the goblin corpses.
After all, these goblins are completely useless; surely no one would eat their flesh?
Goblin meat isn't unheard of; it's tough, sour, and terribly unpalatable...
In the end, the ant army successfully carried all the food into the anthill without any major incident.
Who says goblin meat is tough? This goblin meat is absolutely amazing!
Looking at the ant nest full of food reserves, Zhao Zian's face almost twisted into a grin.
After working hard for dozens of episodes, I still didn't get as much as this episode's lucky dog-like success.
Who can you complain to about this?
So, this lucky guy really is incredibly lucky.
Anyone with bad luck should just kill themselves after seeing that.
Seeing that everything had settled down, Zhao Zian felt relieved.
There were other insects in the middle trying to steal the meat.
However, most of them were driven away by Zhao Zian's army of ants.
Some were even left over to be served as dessert.
When consciousness returned to the real world, it was already past midnight.
I did so much today. Apart from eating, the only other thing I did all day was go to the toilet this morning.
One thing after another happened. I was constantly controlling the ant army and making decisions, and I didn't have time to go to the toilet at all.
He was about to suffocate.
After he finished using the toilet, he sent all the ants back to their temporary nest.
It seems this medicinal herb won't be ready for a while.
The timelines in the real world and the alternate world are roughly the same.
The flow rates are roughly 1:1, and anyway, it's quite dark in this other world now.
Zhao Zian gave instructions regarding the ant army, ordering them to produce more combat units.
For minor matters, let Xiao Yi make the decision.
If there's anything important, just call me directly.
As long as the believer's thoughts are very strong, Zhao Zian can receive some kind of response.
He then decided to rest.
