Chapter 185 Meat! Huge chunks of meat!
Is it different from before?
The saintess suddenly became expectant.
The complaints in my heart instantly turned into curiosity.
Ziyi and Zian nodded as they looked at Li Mosi's serious expression.
"I understand, Master."
"Chief, the meat is ready."
The goblin's squeaking came from behind.
"I see!"
After Ziyi finished speaking, he added some more instructions.
"Everyone stand up, the elder is about to speak!"
"OK!"
Realizing something big was happening, all the goblins quickly stopped what they were doing and stood up straight.
Although the new members of the tribe did not hear the command, they all stood up straight.
The main courtyard fell silent again, save for the crackling of the campfire and the sounds of the villagers swallowing their saliva.
Li Moss silently watched the people, making them subconsciously stop swallowing.
After sixty heartbeats, Li Mosi spoke.
"The Valos Knights have fled. Our warriors have slaughtered them so badly that even their dragon horse and armor could not be preserved."
"But you stayed."
"Those who remain will be my subjects from now on."
The people instinctively lowered their heads, glancing out of the corner of their eyes at the tribesmen holding spears and poles.
"I saw his greed in you."
Li Moss's gaze swept over the people, telling them to lower their heads even further, and they no longer had the courage to even glance around.
"The granaries are full, yet your homes don't even have enough food for the winter. Your houses are so dilapidated that they can't even keep out the cold wind, and you only have enough firewood for a few meals."
"You are like a flock of sheep that have been sheared but have no grass to eat. Foolish Varos doesn't even understand that such sheep can't grow wool back."
call--
The people's breathing became heavy, and with each breath came a hidden sigh.
The hidden sighs, when combined, became clearly audible.
"I hate having a bunch of pathetic wretches always loitering around. The days of the Valos family's rule are over."
He won't have a chance to come back.
Li Mosi pointed to a large pottery jar.
"There's meat in the clay pot. Wait until I finish speaking, then line up to get yours. Everyone gets some, and if you're still hungry, you can get more. Just follow the rules; I don't want to see any chaos."
"call--"
The people's breathing became easier.
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir."
"Yes, gulp~"
Li Moss's words caused a stir among the people.
But since he didn't speak, these people didn't dare to move.
The commotion quickly subsided, and Li Mosi waited a few more seconds before speaking again.
"No gift is given away for free. If you eat the meat from my pot, you must obey me."
"Gurgle—"
The people immediately became tense again.
They understood that the new leader was about to give orders!
Everyone strained their ears and held their breath, afraid of missing a single word.
Li Mosi's speaking speed increased slightly, and her tone became more impassioned.
"Winter is still a month away, and I need you to build roads and houses! Countless tasks await you!"
"You need food for the winter, but you don't have it right now!"
"The rules are simple! After this meal, everyone who can move, come and work. You work one day and get one meal the next; if you do well, you'll get an extra bonus!"
"I will always be watching over you!"
call--
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, let's eat."
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord!"
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you for your kindness!"
The people immediately burst into cheers.
Some were so moved that they even shed tears.
Their vocabulary remained impoverished; no matter how much they shouted, they only used a few words repeatedly in reverse order.
But their emotions overflowed like the aroma of meat, reaching straight to the heart.
The newcomers frowned, and those who were a little more sentimental began to have tears welling up in their eyes.
They remembered the days before they followed their leader.
Forget about wanting to eat meat again; even the aroma of meat from their carefree days has become blurred with repeated recollections.
Fortunately, the leader did not treat them as enemies during the battle and even gave them meat to eat after the victory.
Only when the meat entered their mouths again did they realize how distant the taste of meat in their memories was!
Although the goblins couldn't understand, some of them had blurred vision.
After all, the vast majority of the clansmen were found by Zi Yi later.
During this period, some of them experienced troll attacks, while others were hunted by humans.
They could only watch helplessly as their former comrades died one after another.
To escape human hunting, many people couldn't even get water, and the hunger lasted as long as it felt like enduring a harsh winter.
But they eventually returned to their tribe.
The elders gave them new weapons, turning them into powerful warriors who could easily kill the trolls that had ravaged the tribe just a few dozen nights ago.
The leader led them to defeat the humans and gave them slaves, who could cut down thicker trees in less time and carry more things and dig more soil.
The leader's sister, who appeared out of nowhere, was also very strong. With her leading them in the charge, it seemed that no enemy was worth fearing.
And the woman the elder was holding onto...
That woman doesn't seem to be of much use?
However, Li Mosi didn't care what everyone was thinking.
And the woman the elder was holding onto...

However, Li Mosi didn't care what everyone was thinking.
He simply watched as the people lined up separately in front of the nine large earthenware jars.
There were no problems during the queuing process.
After all, even if they weren't separated, this number of people wouldn't be as long as the line at the school cafeteria.
Farol looked at Li Moss.
"Sir, I'll go and maintain order."
"Okay, go ahead."
Li Mosi nodded, then turned to look at Zi Yi, only to find that Zi Yi had already walked into the goblin area.
He seized the captains of the six warrior teams and the leaders of the three new tribesmen and distributed food among them.
Zi'an then took the initiative to stand by the pottery jar to maintain order.
The nine leaders instinctively walked to the earthenware pot and scooped up a spoonful of meat, only to find that the people's hands were empty.
They looked down at their surroundings, picked up the wooden bowls and filled them with the meat, then handed the meat to their people.
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, sir."
The nine people at the front of the line instinctively expressed their gratitude, but when they looked at the bowls in their hands, they froze in place.
They blinked, then looked up at the team leader who was distributing the meat.
Zi'an frowned when he saw that they hadn't left.
"I told you that if you're not full, you can get more. Don't just stand there."
She knew the wooden bowl was small, but none of the people had brought their own bowls, so they had to make do with it for now.
But the people didn't care about that.
It was because there was only a small portion of soup in the bowl, while the meat chunks and strips made up two-thirds of it!
They had seen lords show kindness before.
As in previous years, at feasts during the Day of Prayer for Grace or the Autumn Harvest Festival, the lord would also cook the leftover food into porridge and distribute it to them.
If anyone can find a large piece of meat in it, they'll have something to brag about until next spring!
But this is full of meat! Huge chunks of meat!
They just thought they were hallucinating because they were starving!
"Yes, yes. Thank you for your kindness, sir. *gulp*"
The people instinctively obeyed the order and walked towards the back of the line.
They only felt their eyes turn red from the steam of the broth.
When they came to their senses, they realized that tears were streaming from the corners of their eyes.
The citizens in line couldn't help but feel envious when they saw the meat in the bowl.
If only they could eat this much meat...
"Next! Hurry up!"
At Farol's shout, the people finally realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward.
Another group of citizens, their bowls filled with large chunks of meat, walked to the back of the line, arousing envy among the citizens already in line.
Why are there so many lucky people today?
If I had known, I would have squeezed in and stood at the front!
The line quickly dwindled to half its original size.
The people queuing up were stunned to find that each person's bowl contained chunks and strips of meat.
Why are there only big chunks of meat?
