"The west!"

“Yeah, lots and lots of mountains.”

"A mountain shrouded in mist."

"The goblins are fighting bats and rats."

"The ship exploded!"

The three water slimes were talking to each other.

Li Meng integrated the known information from the water slime's words.

The mountains to the west and shrouded in mist should be the Misty Mountains.

Bats and rats are probably related to the ratmen.

The green fire should be the magic released by the ratmen.

Thus, the answer has been revealed.

The floating battleship was destroyed by the ratmen.

"Do you want me to take you back?"

"Boss, no need, we can go back by ourselves."

"Well, we'll go back on our own."

"Let's go, let's go."

The three water slimes on the deck jumped and ran towards the Goblin River.

They jumped over the side of the ship and fell into the water.

Li Meng, standing by the side of the ship, glanced sideways towards the west.

Although traces of the ratmen's activities in the Goblin Forest were discovered as early as two years ago.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

But the ratmen did not invade the Goblin Forest on a large scale.

Therefore, Li Meng chose to ignore the existence of the ratmen.

In the past year, ratmen have begun to appear frequently in the western part of the Goblin Forest.

Although there have been several conflicts with goblins, they were all minor.

Li Meng originally thought that the threat from the ratmen could be ignored for the time being.

After all, he has more important things to do.

The terrain in the Misty Mountains is complex.

The ratmen are also good at digging holes.

It is naturally not difficult to drive the ratmen out of the Goblin Forest.

But wanting to completely eliminate the ratmen is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Even if there are a hundred Li Mengs, it won’t work.

"Should we deal with the ratmen first or the humans first?"

Li Meng, looking towards the west, had a pensive look on his face.

Humans were the ones who took the initiative to attack, and the war broke out only about a year ago.

Once a war breaks out with the ratmen, it will be impossible to end it in a short period of time.

Once a war breaks out with the ratmen, we may end up fighting on two fronts.

"It seems we can only wait."

Li Meng muttered to himself after realizing this.

Although Li Meng does not think he is a smart person.

I don't consider myself a military strategist.

But anyone with a little common sense knows what the best decision is.

No matter how big the advantage is, fighting on two fronts is a very stupid decision.

Although Li Meng is confident, he will not do anything conceited.

Only by being careful and cautious in everything you do can you be invincible.

Li Meng only hoped that the destruction of the floating battleship would not irritate the ratmen.

Otherwise, it will lead to very bad and troublesome consequences.

Although Li Meng is not afraid of fighting on two fronts, this will affect the progress of eliminating the Dragon King.

Li Meng didn't care about the loss of a floating battleship.

But the feud has been established.

"Humph, I'll deal with you after I've dealt with the humans!"

Li Meng snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the magic cannon to continue doing his own thing.

Chapter 364 Armament Preparation

In the following days, the days were as peaceful as usual.

Since expelling the demons, Li Meng has become the overlord of the Goblin Forest, the Southern Wasteland and the Troll Mountains.

The goblins' expansion in the forest did not stop.

To the west, to the Misty Mountains; to the south, to the coastline, goblin tribes sprang up one after another.

The Goblin Forest is so large that it can support millions of goblins.

And the number of goblins today is only over 30.

Half a month later, Iron Cave.

"Do you want to get the steam engine out?"

Li Meng, standing by the underground riverbank, looked at the boiling hot water and thought to himself.

The principle of a steam engine is very simple.

It is not a problem to manufacture a simple steam engine with the current industrial level.

"Forget it, let's improve the water power first."

Turning around and looking at the river bank where people were busy and making clinking sounds, Li Meng thought to himself.

The iron cave is very large, and the water of the underground river gushes out from the source continuously.

If the water flow can be utilized effectively.

It can improve the efficiency of steelmaking.

For example, a manual bellows can be replaced by a hydraulic bellows.

Water power can also be used to manufacture some large casting equipment.

Once large-scale molding equipment is developed, it will be possible to manufacture some precision products.

"As goblins develop technology, will they become another species, 'goblins', in the future?"

This possibility exists.

Unless all goblins are replaced by alien goblins.

Otherwise, the goblins' wisdom cannot support the development of technology.

Li Mengke has no interest in becoming the god of technology.

In this way, Li Meng plunged into the iron cave to study water conservancy projects.

Time passed by little by little, day after day.

While Li Meng was preparing for war, the humans in the border territories of the Principality of Ilysis were also busy.

A large number of troops assembled at the garrison fort.

Logistical supplies from various border territories are continuously delivered to the garrison fort.

At the call of the border lords, a large number of adventurers also flocked to the garrison fort.

For adventurers, war is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Although there is a risk of death on the battlefield.

But if you survive, you can make a fortune.

In the afternoon, the garrison was at Earl's Mansion.

In the courtyard, in the pavilion.

Sandra, sitting at the stone table, looked at the flower garden outside in a daze.

The approach of war made her increasingly uneasy.

She didn't know what the future held for her.

Maybe in the future, she will even lose her current life.

Sandra looked down at her belly.

A trace of hatred and humiliation flashed in her eyes.

She had to do this, even if it meant death, she had to make the Goblin King disappear.

Otherwise she will live in its shadow all her life.

I am anxious every day, waiting for its favor again.

She never wanted to give birth to a child for a goblin again.

"Ma'am, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, a figure appeared outside the pavilion.

It was Morris in a noble robe.

He walked into the pavilion with a smile on his face and sat down next to his wife.

Sandra took a deep breath and shook her head.

"My dear, has the route of advance been determined?"

Morris shook his head with a headache.

"The best route is the Troll Mountains, but considering our oath, this route is absolutely unacceptable."

"The Goblin River route is still under consideration."

"But the failure of Sword King Carlos has made the border lords very pessimistic about this route."

"Although there is a river, it can reduce the pressure on logistics."

"But the river isn't conducive to large-scale military operations. If the battle breaks out again on the Goblin River, the army won't be able to deploy effectively."

"The lords prefer to march towards the Goblin Forest via land."

March into the Goblin Forest from land?

The southern Troll Mountains in the border territory are like a natural barrier that isolates the outside world.

There are only two routes leading to the Goblin Forest within the Principality of Ilysis.

One is the Windward Valley where the garrison fort is located.

The other one is the Goblin River.

To find the third route, you must search in the Troll Mountains.

"I have already issued a quest to the Adventurer's Guild. Many adventurers know more about the Troll Mountains than we do. Perhaps they can find another route across the Troll Mountains."

"My dear, has the time of the march been confirmed?"

Morris shook his head.
