Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 79: The Southwest War in the Bone Forest
"I gave them new names. From now on, they are no longer tree monsters, but golden trees."

"Golden tree."

Sophie thought the name was nice and would be more acceptable to the people of Green Shade Territory than the name "Tree Monster".

The two returned to the camp with 100 young tree monsters, immediately causing a commotion.

At first, the Southern Army thought it was the tree monster attacking again, and they came out of the tents with torches and weapons.

It wasn't until Robson called out Li En's name that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Master Li En, Master Li En is back."

"Why did Lord Li En bring such a group of tree monsters?"

"Lord Li En must have gone to capture the tree monster himself!"

"As expected of Lord Li En, you've captured so many tree monsters."

People cheered and surrounded Li En and Sophie.

Cobb, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened and walked out of the tent.

When he saw the densely packed young tree monsters, he showed a look of surprise.

Because he also knew how precious the anesthetics made by the tree monsters were. He only needed to apply these anesthetics on the arrows, and they would become excellent weapons during the battle. Once they pierced the opponent's body, they would be paralyzed instantly.

When treating injuries, just a small dose can relieve the guards from pain.

Sophie killed all the tree monsters at that time. Although she saved everyone, she also cut off the path to anesthetics.

Now seeing that Li En brought back such a group of tree monsters, Cobb was once again certain that Li En was the chosen one, sent by the God Tiger to save the Green Shade Territory.

"Master Li En, we've been searching for so long and haven't found a single Heart Tree Monster, yet you've found so many."

Cobb said excitedly.

"Cobb, from now on they are no longer called tree monsters, they are called golden trees."

Li En introduced.

The tree monster's heart nodded tremblingly, saying that his name was the Golden Tree.

"Golden tree? Golden tree is great! The tree monster is full of treasures, isn't it gold?"

Cobb raised the sword in his hand and cheered,
"Golden Tree!"

The guards followed suit and cheered, "Golden tree! Golden tree! Golden tree!"

The ignorant little tree monsters were sent to the territory of North District No. 3 amidst warm cheers.

The guards worked overtime overnight to cordon off a piece of land for them, built a fence around it, and had someone guard it.

The heart of the old tree monster was also chained to ensure that it could not escape.

In the following days, the Southern Army was busy clearing the battlefield and expanding territory.

The entire northern area of ​​the Bone Forest was cleared.

Li En decided to extend the range of the high wall to include this area.

This way, more people can be absorbed into the Green Shade Territory, and the original villages outside the high walls can be directly absorbed so that they can also become official citizens of the Green Shade Territory.

Villagers no longer need to fear being attacked by other monsters.

As for those useless faceless monkeys, they became meals for the guards. Following Li En's suggestion, the army's chefs developed various ways of cooking them, including braising, boiling, frying, spicy, and hot pot. After eating them for half a month, the already few faceless monkeys were finally extinct.

After half a month of fermentation, the goblins in the south of the Bone Forest and the zombies in the west started fighting completely.

During this period, Li En also silently helped the corpse monster to open a road to the goblin village to facilitate the corpse monster's movement.

Even the various traps outside the goblin village were quietly cleared by the human army, allowing the corpse monsters to move freely and fight smoothly, and many goblins became their prey. The reconnaissance team affiliated with the Southern Legion was responsible for observing the progress of the war between the two sides and reporting to Cobb at all times, who in turn reported to Li En.

In the lord's tent, Li En was teaching Sophie how to play chess while listening to the latest battle report from Cobb.

Li En held a white pebble and Sophie held a black pebble, both with serious expressions.

Sophie had never played such an interesting chess game before and was very involved in it.

The royal guards who were in charge of serving tea and water could not help but watch, thinking that this black and white chess was more interesting than the king chess, and also quite impressive.

Especially when Li En was hesitant and thinking.

"Lord Li En, the goblin army is fighting the zombie army. The zombies have occupied the southern area 1, and the goblin army is retreating."

Beads of cold sweat appeared on Li En's forehead. He didn't expect Sophie to be so smart.

After only two games with me, I was already in a situation of overtaking.

This game of chess blocked all his paths, but in the end he found a loophole and opened up a new path.

"Sophie, you lose."

Five white pebbles connected in a line announced Sophie's failure.

Sophie looked in surprise as Li En's white pieces connected together, and began to reflect on her own shortcomings.

"You can't just focus on blocking me. You also have to carve out your own path. Playing chess is like war. Simply defending is meaningless. Active offense is the best defense."

Li En said seriously.

The personal guard wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Cobb sweatdropped. He felt like Lee En and Sophie were playing a child's game. What was the point of this kind of chess? Winning was winning if you connected five pieces. If it were him, he would have beaten Lee En n+1 times.

Li En looked up at Cobb, who was full of complaints, and said,

"Although goblins are smart, their combat power is not on the same level as that of the corpse monsters. I made a poison bomb from the venom on the corpse monsters' bodies, blew up the verbena flower fields outside the village, and cleared a path for the corpse monsters to lead directly to the goblin village. Of course, the corpse monsters will be unstoppable."

"But didn't you say before that we should completely eliminate the corpse monsters and leave only the goblins and skeleton monsters that we can communicate with?"

Cobb said puzzledly,
"At this rate, the goblins might be completely destroyed by the corpse monsters."

"The goblins have been able to live in the Bone Forest for so long. It's not easy to completely destroy them. The corpse monsters can only capture Goblin Area 2 at most, and then we'll face a full-scale counterattack from the goblins."

Li En speculated.

Cobb turned and walked to the sand table, pointing to Area 3 in the southern part of the Bone Forest and said,
"There's a natural canyon here, which is really suitable for counterattacks."

Li En stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, walked to Cobb, pointed to area 5 and said,
"Unless the corpse monster chooses to enter the hinterland and launch a surprise attack from here."

Cobb shook his head. "The corpse monsters don't have that kind of intelligence. They wouldn't think of a sneak attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cobb suddenly realized something, his eyes slightly shining, "But we can. Even if the goblins defeat the corpse monsters in the canyon area, they will be severely damaged, and both sides will suffer losses. We can attack the goblins from behind and take advantage of their weakness and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Li En nodded slightly. "Yes, you are right. According to your strategy, we can cooperate with the corpse monsters to completely annihilate the goblins, but what good will that do us?"

"Goblins are a major cancer. If we eradicate them, at least we won't have to worry about people going missing due to being abducted by goblins."

Cobb scratched his hair, "Besides, haven't we been helping the corpse monsters fight the goblins?"
