Chapter 166 Knocking On The Front Doors!
?
After getting the basic knowledge from the hobgoblin, Cyrus looked on the other side of the boundary set up by the hobgoblins.
It turned out that the massive forest where his dimension gate was located was known as the Moonshine Forest, and the goblins only controlled a region of this massive forest called the Goblin Region.
There were six more regions, and they were all controlled by other races like the goblins, and they won't interfere with each other affairs. As for what lies outside the Moonshine Forest, no one knows since it is too far away from the goblin region, for it is the furthest away from that boundary.
Besides, the goblins were quite content with their territory, and they didn't like to interact with the other six regions and mind their own business most of the time.
Furthermore, Cyrus also found that there was no such a thing as a dimension in the Hobgoblin's knowledge, or he was simply too low to know these things.
Nevertheless, Cyrus now had a clear idea of where he was and how he should proceed from here on out. His first target of interest naturally became the Goblin Region, as it was controlled by Hobgoblins as the ruling power.
There were more than a hundred thousand hobgoblins present in the vicinity where Cyrus was right now, and they called the Great Goblin Settlement as this place was the core of their territory. While these hobgoblins also controlled the green goblin settlements, and their population was over two million!
Cyrus was quite content with these numbers, and he just happened to know where to start with the next phase of his plan.
Cyrus left with the watch tower and headed to the other side of the fences that were carefully arranged, and there were paved plain roads like some village.
The hobgoblins were far more intelligent than the green goblins, so it wasn't a surprise that they had started to advance their living style. But they were not as fast as the goblins under Cyrus's wings.
As Cyrus walked in the sky while watching the hobbling settlement with Eve, he saw many hobgoblin guards and watchers patrolling the area.
"Are you really going to just barge into the heart of their home?" Eve couldn't help but question with uncertainty as she could guess what Cyrus was up with the way he was moving.
Cyrus's lips curled up, "So what do you want me to do? Being sneaking and killing everyone on my way there? Although this method would help me grow stronger, but don't forget we still have a dimension to nurture.
"Although what I'm doing looks like suicide for anyone, don't forget I'm not just anyone. I know how these creatures' minds work, and the fastest way to control them is to overpower them. Besides, do you think they can stop me from retreating if I want to?"
"Oh, I forget, the might Lust God is taking action personally!" Eve snickered in sarcasm.
Cyrus merely chuckled as he didn't mind her in the least bit, and he even appreciated Eve's this side, who wasn't restrained by who he was or what he'll become.
As Cyrus goes deeper into the settlement, the patrols also start to become less, and the forest also starts to be shaved off with wooden houses and young and old hobgoblins moving around like normal toward people.
"The children here are really different from the tiny children of green goblins as they almost look like humans and cute," Eve exclaimed as she was observing everything from Cyrus's eyes.
"Of course, they are different. A hobgoblin is far more superior to a green goblin. The difference is like the sky and earth. Yet this is nothing but a small part of the beast evolution chain. As we met with more and more powerful magic beings, you might not even tell the difference between a human and a beast. The universe is filled with wonders that we can only imagine, and sometimes we can't even fathom them…" Cyrus uttered with a hint of nostalgia as he remembered that once he was also like Eve.
"Wait, really? Then why didn't you tell me more about them?" Eve exclaimed with full of amazement.
Cyrus chuckled, "It will ruin the fun of seeing the actual thing, and I don't want that for you. Some day you will only have these feelings to cherish, and you might even regret doing this."
"Hmph, I'll believe you this once." Eve snorted but didn't stir the topic anymore as she fully believed Cyrus despite sometimes not understanding what he was saying at all.
At this moment, Cyrus finally spotted a vastly different building than the rest of the plain wooden buildings in the settlement. It was made in the very center of the houses, and there were many burly hobgoblin guards surrounding it with vigilance.
"That's the place where the Settlement Leader lives and also our destination!" Cyrus coldly smiled as suddenly his casual clothes started to change into his emperor robes in silver color.
Not only that, but a silver faceless mask started to appear on his face out of nowhere which was none other than the Illusionary Void Mask!
Cyrus was wearing this mask all this time, but it was a layer of another skin on his face, which he could easily hide under his real skin or take it out as he wished. This was what made a peak-grade Ascension Magic Item so precious, and this was also his personal storage space.
After donning the silver mask and the silver emperor robes with a black sword embroidery on his back and with his long hair draped over his shoulders, he looks completely unfathomed, like a celestial.
Cyrus then stopped right above the massive wooden building, and he dispelled the stealth spell and he instantly appeared in the sky.
Then he used a voice-amplifying spell and spoke coldly, "Uncivilized race of Goblins, I, Lust Emperor, come here bearing a revelation for your kind. Come out and receive it, or choose to be ignorant and get wiped away from the face of these lands!"
