In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

Even Green, who was watching the show, was secretly shocked. These words were really hurtful, but he was somewhat happy.

One purpose was achieved.

He had been troubled by the solidarity of Rimuru's men before. It was really troublesome for these guys to stick together. Maybe it was because of their admiration for Rimuru that they were very united.

Originally, Green might not care about the small number of people in Jura Forest, but as Jura Forest grew bigger and bigger, he had to find a way to intervene. Now Jura Forest can mobilize a force of more than 10,000 people at its maximum.

However, this is just the beginning, and the power of the Jura Forest will only grow like a snowball.

Especially after defeating the Pig-Headed Man, the power of the Jura Forest will definitely double, and by then there will be tens of thousands of troops! This is a very outstanding force.

If it is managed well, it can at least become a superior tribal force. If you are lucky, you may be able to run a royal family?

Therefore, Green could not give up this power, so he instructed Bai Lao to launch an attack in order to shake the ghosts' dominance in the army.

Logistics is important, yes, but what is more important is military power. If this group of ghosts are allowed to control the high-level positions of the Jura Forest Army, then who will own the Jura Forest?

Again, Rimuru is not a person with a desire for power by nature. She is just a guy who plays games with a playing-house mentality and does not put herself in the position of a ruler.

So

Green glanced at the goblins and ghosts who were arguing with each other, and felt relieved. He now had more room to intervene.

They are still arguing.

Hongwan, Ziyuan and others wanted to stop Bai Lao from speaking without restraint, but words spoken were spilled and could not be taken back.

A race worse than animals?

"What did you say!!!!!!!!"

Liguru was furious when he heard this. A race that was worse than animals, well, well, well, if that was the case, there was no need for him to hold back.

The goblin clan was originally a bit sensitive. After being evolved by Lord Rimuru, they finally gained confidence. If they were told that they were low-level by outsiders, they might not care at all. However, they could no longer tolerate being described in this way by the demons who were also Rimuru's subordinates.

After all, they were once a low-level race.

"Damn it! You think being a literati is so noble? Don't think I don't know. You, the Great Ghost Tribe, are aggressive by nature. Whenever you can't pay taxes, you plunder other tribes. What good are you? Are the people you've killed still a minority?"

"If you ask me, you deserved to be defeated by the Pig-Headed People! It's because too few people died!"

Even Hongwan couldn't stand it now. He changed his stance from trying to stop Bai Lao to targeting the goblin. What did it mean that too few people died?

"Are you looking for death? Riguru!"

"I shouldn't have agreed to let you be the legion commander!"

As soon as the words came out, Liguru felt a little regretful. Cursing the other party's tribe to die more was indeed a vicious curse, but the words had already been spoken and he had no way to take them back.

However, he was also stunned after hearing what Hongwan said, and his anger grew even more.

What do you mean by agreeing to let me be the commander of the legion? We are all subordinates of Lord Rimuru. Why can you, the descendants of the Great Demon Clan, easily become the generals of the legion, while we goblins can only serve as some low-level officers, or even some sinecure positions?

He had actually been struggling with this matter for a long time. Other goblins had also talked about this kind of thing more or less, but they were all rejected by Rigur. He originally thought that they were all Lord Rimuru's subordinates and there was no distinction between high and low. Besides, Lord Rimuru would not treat them unfairly.

But now it seems that something is not right.

He suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Ligru felt that if things went wrong, their goblin clan would suffer a great loss and be completely marginalized!

This is not possible!

So the quarrel became more intense.

"I was appointed as the commander of the legion by Lord Rimuru. Who gives you the right to make the decision?"

"Shut up! You goblin!"

"Damn it, do you have to talk like that? Come on, fight me, you bastard!"

"Shut up, everyone!

A cold rebuke silenced the entire audience, and they all looked towards the stage.

At this moment, Rimuru's expression was like hundreds of black lines, so gloomy that it seemed like water seemed to be dripping out.

Several people were shocked. They had hardly ever seen Rimuru treat his subordinates so angrily. The only time he got angry was a few months ago when Benimaru had different opinions on the distribution of supplies.

The few people who followed the heart quickly stopped arguing, looked at each other fiercely, and knelt on one knee to apologize. No matter what, they must not embarrass Lord Rimuru too much.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rimuru."

"Yes.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rimuru."

"What are you arguing about? It's just dealing with prisoners, but you're making such a fuss? We're all partners! Is there something that can't be resolved that you have to use vicious language to attack each other?

Rimuru glared at the few people, but found that they only agreed on the surface. Based on her analysis as a great sage, the quarreling people were all angry and it was difficult to resolve.

Chapter 182: Psychology Gradually Feminizes

As expected, Bai Lao, Hong Wan, and Li Gelu apologized very quickly, kneeling down to admit their mistakes at the speed of light. But from their expressions, it was clear that no one thought they were wrong. Everyone was defending the fairness they recognized.

"You're right."

"I was wrong, Lord Rimuru."

There was a thump in my heart.

Rimuru had a strange premonition that the harmonious atmosphere of the past might never return.

She had never imagined that such a minor issue, such as dealing with the Pig-Headed Captives, would lead to such a commotion. They were just captives, so why did they have to be killed? And why did they even resort to such extreme language to attack their companions over such a matter?

What kind of words are coming out? You, the lowly race, should all be killed? No matter how naive, Rimuru still finds it hard to forgive.

As a Japanese who traveled through time from the 21st century, she may not understand politics at all, but she must have said that the racial issue now gives people the feeling that a prejudice has arisen between the demons and goblins at some point.

At least there are such seedlings among these senior leaders, which is something Rimuru could never imagine.

This is different from what I expected. When did it become like this? Why?

Rimuru felt very strange. They were obviously winning, and everyone should be happy. How did it suddenly turn out like this? She even felt more exhausted than when she was fighting.

During the war, the fatigue was physical, but now it is mental.

"Regarding the Pig-Headed Man captives, they were all used as labor to contribute to the construction of the Jura Forest. That's all."

Rimuru rubbed his eyebrows. She didn't want this argument to continue.

She just wanted to rest.

Yet some people still spoke.

He was the human general in charge of logistics. He hesitated for a moment, probably because he was worried that Rimuru was in a bad mood and would implicate himself. However, considering the subsequent troubles and the fact that he was essentially Earl Green's man, he still raised his hand to ask for instructions.

"what's up."

Rimuru didn't like to involve his anger in irrelevant matters, so he suppressed his impatience and asked.

"Sorry, Lord Rimuru, I want to interrupt. We don't need so many workers for the time being, and it's difficult for us to turn over the supplies for 5,000 workers. After all, our population is not that large." The logistics officer briefly described the data.

To put it simply, there are simply not enough jobs in the Jura Forest for these pig-headed people to do. If these pig-headed people are allowed to join the construction team, there will be only one outcome: other local workers will lose their jobs, which will be even more troublesome.

Moreover, from the perspective of labor efficiency, the logistics officers do not trust these pig-headed people very much and do not think they are capable of becoming qualified workers.

Maybe you will even lose money.

Laughed.

It is recommended to plant cotton.

"How can this be? Can't we establish some new construction projects? Maybe we can build another city, or expand the current one?"

Rimuru lamented inwardly, "Why is this going on forever? God, if only today could be over soon."

"Well, if that's the case, I'm afraid you'll need to decide the size of the expansion, or the location of the new city. There are also some details that need to be discussed with you, but the problem still exists."

"How do you plan to provide food for these five thousand pig-headed people? The food we originally planned to have for the winter may not be enough if we add this group of pig-headed people. Perhaps you need to discuss the food issue with Lord Green. The food production in the Jura Forest is still too small, so..."

Ahhh! Stop reading it, stop reading it.

She just felt her scalp tingling. Why are there so many things going on?

Just like a chemical reaction, Rimuru's random order can affect the lives of tens of thousands of demihumans. This heavy pressure makes Rimuru feel very uncomfortable. If it were in the past, she could safely leave it to her subordinates to handle.

But that's impossible now. Who knows what they will become. They might exclude each other for some messy reasons, and eventually lead to unnecessary consequences.

For example, the ghosts reduced their supply to the goblins, which she could not accept.

Rimuru was in a dilemma. What should he do? Should he just let the person go? No, given the current situation, no one would be happy with that.

What a hassle.

Hey.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have arrested him.

She couldn't understand why there was so much rubbish when she had clearly won. It was so annoying.

"Gaviru, you..." Rimuru looked tentatively at the Lizardmen. Among the many vassal races, the Lizardmen had the highest food production, so perhaps they could be provided with some relief.

But Gavilu knew he was in big trouble when he heard this. Why should the people of his tribe save money to support these pig-headed people who wanted to destroy the lizardmen? So he quickly started to make excuses.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rimuru. Due to the war this year, the harvest of various foods in the village is much less than in previous years. After paying the previous taxes, we no longer have any more food to hand over. We are very sorry."

Ah this.

I haven’t said it yet!

Rimuru was speechless. Since everyone else had refused, what else could she do? She couldn't force others to demand more food when her own family wasn't getting enough to eat.

But the problem still needs to be solved.

She looked at the other vassal races and saw that they behaved in the same way. They were all crying and complaining about their poverty, saying that many people had died in their tribe and they had no food.

Ahhhhhhhh!! What should I do then? Or just kill me and let you eat me, okay?

Rimuru is going crazy. The system shows that she is the Demon King, but what they want now is the King of Farming.

At this moment, Green also spoke at the right time.

"How about this? Take 80% of these pig-headed people and ship them to me. The rest will stay and serve as laborers in the Jura Forest."

"This shouldn't be a problem. I shouldn't have any problem feeding a few thousand people."

"I will also export more food from the Jura Forest, so you can have a comfortable winter.

These thousands of pig-headed people are considered a considerable fortune, especially when the losses of sub-humans in the Medici Territory are gradually increasing. Gru is naturally happy to accept this batch of pig-headed people.

I don’t know how to repair the wall, but digging the ground and moving bricks shouldn’t be a problem, right?

If that doesn't work, try corpse starch.

He happily accepted these thousands of pig-headed people.

Rimuru might not understand it very well, but several ghosts who often walked around in the Medici Territory knew that although the status of demihumans in the Medici Territory could not be said to be animals, they were definitely very hard laborers, not much different from slaves.

However, Rimuru could no longer bear it. She did not want to dwell on these things anymore, so she made the decision without giving others room to react.

"Okay! It's decided!

"One part will go to Medici Territory, and the other part will stay in the Jura Forest to participate in the construction!"

Rimuru clapped his hands, and the decision was made happily! After that, it was time to eat and drink, and go back to their own homes!

In this way, the problem of prisoners in the Jura Forest was solved.

Originally, there were issues regarding the distribution of credit and finances, but Rimuru felt that it was too troublesome and a headache, so he said that he would think carefully before making a decision, and the meeting was barely completed.

This matter will definitely not be resolved as easily as before.

Judging from the current situation, deep prejudices have already formed between the demon clan and the goblin clan, and human officials do not side with either of them, forming a relatively stable triangle relationship. Rimuru can no longer arrange work and rewards as he pleases as before.

The main purpose of the group was to chat. She had no way to find a spirit who could help her properly handle these relationships. Whether it was humans, big ghosts, or goblins, it was not very reliable to find anyone from them. Rimuru was worried that they would favor their own race for various reasons.

Rimuru believed Green's words more, but he didn't dare to entrust such a matter to Green because his identity was a bit complicated. If Green was allowed to distribute rewards and positions, wouldn't the big demons and goblins be furious?

What a hassle!!!!

After this incident, Rimuru went crazy in his bedroom alone late at night.

"Damn it! Why is it so troublesome?! I shouldn't have wanted to be the leader. Now I'm so annoyed."

Rimuru sighed as he ate the cake sent from the kitchen, as if only sweets could comfort his wounded heart.

"How did everyone become like this? They were all so happy before, why did they suddenly fall out today?"
