In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

This is a simple skill that all demon lords have, which is to take away the names they have given to their subordinates and deprive them of these extra powers.

It would only take a minute for her to reclaim the name.

But do you really want to do it?

Rimuru is an indecisive person, and his slightly trembling arms show his extreme inner conflict.

Is it my turn?

Green felt that it was time to take action. If Rimuru really deprived Benimaru of his name, these demons would probably hate him to death.

It wouldn't matter if it was goblins, but he later planned to recruit more demons to serve as cannon fodder to defend against attacks from the subhumans who might spy on the Jura Great Forest.

If I take action now, I will get very good results.

Just as he was about to speak, the oldest ghost, the guy named Bai Lao, came behind Green and said to Green's surprised eyes:

"Could you please stop Lord Rimuru? We are sorry, but we will never go against your will again. We will obey whatever you say."

Interesting.

Green felt that there weren't many fools in the world. Should he say he was a wise old man? He was a little too smart.

He thought a lot in an instant. This old ghost obviously saw something, but would this be bad for him?

It would only benefit him if an old ghost who was highly respected in the village was willing to cooperate with him.

Ha ha.

He chuckled softly twice, patted the old man on the shoulder, and then walked to the center of the storm.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry, Rimuru. Benimaru did this out of a moment of confusion. I believe he won't do it again."

"I'll be shipping some supplies over later. It's just a few pieces of clothing. No one's going to really care, right? I wouldn't, so it's okay."

Perhaps because he had a way out, or perhaps because he simply didn't want to be cruel to his subordinates, Rimuru seemed to have really listened to him, his hair returned to its original position, and his body slowly fell back to the ground.

Then, he left without looking back.

Rimuru paused for a moment as he left, then nodded imperceptibly and continued walking away.

No one knew what she was going to do.

Everyone's mood was very complicated, especially the ghost group, who knew that they had greatly disappointed their master today.

Is Green to blame for this?

Green is definitely not to blame. The supplies were sent by others, and the incident was not instigated by others. After their evolution, they are not the kind of unreasonable people, so Green cannot be blamed.

Bai Lao, who had a higher status in the ghost tribe, was the first to express his gratitude to Green.

"Thank you, Master Green.

Ok?

The others also suddenly realized and expressed their gratitude. Even Aster, who had been stepped on the chest before, expressed her gratitude reluctantly.

He bowed deeply, and the color of his chest made someone's eyes glance unconsciously.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, massive objects attract light, and this is also a necessary behavior.

He suddenly remembered the great feeling of stepping on it. He hoped that he would have the chance to replicate it in the future.

"It's okay, as long as the problem is solved."

After giving a few casual instructions to Kaiar to continue distributing supplies, Green left to look for Rimuru. After searching for a long time, he finally found him in a small stream inside the Jura Forest.

The cute king squatted alone by the river, hugging his legs, and watched with a depressed mood as the leaves fell into the stream and slowly floated away.

The Earl thought about it and walked over and stood next to the cute king.

"Are you some elementary school student? This is normal. This is a different world. In fact, the law of the jungle exists everywhere, but it's more obvious among the demihumans."

Rimuru put his head on his knees, his tone a little strange.

"Are you admitting that you are a time traveler?"

Is this the point?

"I've already said this isn't important. No matter what happened before, I'm just Count Green Medici now."

huh~~

Snowflakes flew by, and Green looked up at the sky. He had traveled through time for so long without realizing it. He had actually become a count and done many things that he had not dared to do before. Who knew the hardships he had experienced during this period?

Don't be fooled by his current success. The hardships he went through in the past are not clear in a few words.

Rimuru simply had too little experience. He'd barely scratched the surface. Back when Green was first starting out, he'd been nearly killed by a mutiny from his subordinates. Honestly, the demon called Benimaru wasn't a big deal. He thought it was entirely possible for demons to prey on the weak.

The other world is more primitive than the modern world, and the civilization is more crude. As a time traveler, many things that seem to be taken for granted do not work here.

Green feels qualified to say something on this point.

"No one is absolutely loyal. Everyone has their own little thoughts. After all, your subordinate grew up in a relatively primitive tribe. Their ethos is that the strong own everything. Of course, humans are not much better."

"What I'm trying to say is that you didn't do anything wrong, it's just the world you're in."

Rimuru didn't say anything, but Green raised his eyebrows, knowing that his verbal attack might have worked.

Rimuru's Favorability +25

About to reach the bottom line for unlocking skills

Chapter 133: Third-Class Demihuman, Breakfast

After this incident, the former ghosts and troll goblins could only passively accept the funding and transformation of the Medici territory. Basically, the distribution of all materials under Rimuru's power would belong to the officials sent by the Medici territory.

Establish a new power system for the Jura Forest forces in advance to prepare for future expansion. Yes, the current scale of two or three hundred people is definitely not enough to satisfy Green's appetite.

It is said that the northern ghost tribes were defeated due to attacks from other tribes, and a large number of displaced ghosts naturally had to look for new tribes to join. At that time, the famous Jula Forest could accommodate more ghosts.

Green is quite optimistic about this race.

The demon-men are the evolved forms of the great demon clan. After being named by Rimuru, the great demon clan evolved into demon-men, but the great demon clan itself has very good qualities.

Judging from their physical fitness, the Great Ghost Clan is a race that is quite suitable for combat, not much different from the general superior races, and second only to the royal family.

But the problem is that the reproduction rate of the Great Ghost Clan is relatively low, resulting in a small number. In addition, under the suppression of other races, they have never formed a strong tribe. The most powerful Great Ghost Clan tribe on the Subhuman Plains is only a medium-sized tribe, with about 3000 to 5000 people.

The others are small tribes with less than 1000 people, so they can only become vassals of other races, and their level is not much different from that of the cat people.

The total population of all the ghost tribes in the north is estimated to be less than 100,000 at most, while other superior races, such as werewolves, are much larger.

Demi-humans can be roughly divided into several levels, with ghosts being the third level.

The system of the subhuman tribes is relatively barbaric, and the subhumans can be roughly divided into four levels.

The first level is the royal family. The several major sub-human royal families are the most powerful sub-human groups. They have the most vast territories and can live comfortably every year by exploiting those below them. They are the top ruling group.

The second tier is the superior races, such as lionmen and leopardmen. These fighting races are important fighters of the royal family. Generally speaking, the royal family also pays more attention to them. They are also the elite troops of the sub-human royal court and are rarely exploited.

The third tier is the lower races, such as cat people and hyena people. These lower races can only engage in planting and animal husbandry. As producers, they have to pay heavy taxes every year to provide for the expenses of the upper races, and they also have to pay a lot of corvee labor to form ordinary legions for fighting with humans.

The fourth level is the race that is similar to animals, such as ratmen, pigmen, etc. For the superior sub-humans, they are not only objects of exploitation but also food. If they really have nothing to eat, they will use them to satisfy their cravings.

The royal family plus several superior races form the Imperial Court, which rules and exploits most of the subhuman tribes in a large area, such as some lower races, big ghosts, cat people, etc., and enriches its own wallet by collecting taxes and capturing able-bodied men for labor service every year.

The Great Ghost Clan belongs to the third tier. They are oppressed by the superior races every year and their lives are very difficult. Their demands are not high. It is enough for them to have enough food and clothing. If possible, it would be even better if they could take revenge on their enemies.

It is necessary to recruit this group of ghosts. After all, if Green wants to do business in a place like the Subhuman Plain where the law of the jungle prevails, he needs powerful escort.

The trouble is that this force cannot be human. No sub-human tribe can allow human rulers to appear openly on the plains. This is not a law, but an instinct.

Therefore, recruiting ghosts is imperative!

Of course, it is not difficult. With a little management, Green believes that it is very possible to recruit thousands of wandering ghosts to become minions. Both male and female demi-humans can be used as warriors. Giving them some garbage weapons can add thousands of cannon fodder troops.

I guess the ghosts would be happy too.

Fighting between subhuman tribes was a common occurrence. For example, the superior races would often attack the inferior tribes that did not pay taxes honestly. This had also happened to the ghosts.

In the eyes of quite a few demons, demons are demons and demi-humans are demi-humans.

Even now, in the minds of some ghosts, belonging to the Medici family is a good choice.

There will be no more worries about hunger, everyone will have clothes to wear and weapons, and there will even be a city built in the Jura Forest where demi-humans can live. Isn’t that great?

Anyway, the matter is done and there is no way to resist Count Medici.

The ghost elder among them thought exactly like that. When others didn't understand, he bravely stood up and actively cooperated with the Medici Territory's infiltration. Even now, half of the security team inside the Jura Forest has been taken over by humans. Some of his former companions also developed some resentment towards Old Bai.

No, you are a traitor?

Is it right for a ghost like you to hand over power to humans?

I'm sorry, Lord Rimuru.

As for those tribesmen who resent me, if they are wrong, just blame me.

Different thoughts silently arose in Bai Lao's mind. Compared with the impulsive young man, the mature him thought more.

He is not someone like Aster or Hongwan. He is now a member of the village and the patriarch of his own ghost tribe. He should consider the tribe more.

And it was Lord Rimuru who surrendered first, wasn't it?

Even the most powerful one, Rimuru, his master, has surrendered. Is there really any need for them to persist? If they really want to resist to the end, they might be chopped to pieces by the enraged Count Medici as a warning to others?

He finally realized that the one or two hundred of his men were not worth much. In the eyes of Count Medici, they were just gifts, or even the kind of gifts that were despised.

The Medici Territory later planned to build a city in the Jura Forest, and the people in charge of this event were some experienced elders in the territory, plus Kirito and Black Cat.

I heard that he has been very busy recently, but Lord Green is so busy that he can only take a look at the progress of the project from time to time. So what is he busy with?

He was busy enjoying his breakfast.

living room

There were precious paintings hanging on the walls, rare winter flowers placed in the windows, a bonfire was burning in the fireplace, and a maid with a good figure was standing quietly by, waiting to be called.

Around the round object made of walnut wood, the Earl was sitting (on a small cowhide sofa) enjoying a delicious meal, with his legs crossed, enjoying this comfortable vacation.

He felt very happy because finally, finally the cute king gave him feedback on his skills!

Perhaps because they have lived in peace for a long time, the cute king's loyalty has reached the passing line, and the system has given him new abilities.

Dependents!

What a powerful ability

In Green's opinion, the Demon King's strongest ability is not anything else, but this ability called followers. The more powerful the Demon King is, the more followers he has. The followers form their own monster legions, and eventually a Demon King can bring an army of 100,000 monsters.

Although the number of dependents you have doesn’t seem to be too many, who knows if it will increase in the future?

By the way, can the family members start their own church if they believe in it?

When talking about church, he thought of priests, and when thinking of priests, he thought of nuns, and when talking about nuns, Green's thoughts suddenly fell into the vulgar area, and all kinds of interesting comics he watched in his previous life came to his mind.

S.

Take a breath.
