16 Breeding Plan!
Amidst the dense foliage of the forest, a grim scene unfolded. The male black wolves, having ventured out, left their clan vulnerable. In their absence, the female black wolves fell prey to the goblins' cunning trap. One by one, they were overpowered and escorted back to the lair, their fate sealed by the greedy goblins.
Dick, overseeing the operation, appraised the captured bounty. Among the spoils were numerous female black wolves – a crucial component of his daring experiment. He was particularly interested in their reproductive capabilities and whether they could successfully bear goblin offspring.
Approaching the subdued female wolves, whose jaws were securely tied to prevent any biting, Dick examined them closely. The wolves, recognizing him as the orchestrator of their capture, displayed visible fear and unease in their eyes. They had been tasked with guarding the wolf cubs, anticipating the triumphant return of the male wolves with news of a secured winter den. Instead, they were now captives of the ruthless goblins, their cubs' fate uncertain.
The goblins' lecherous and greedy stares along the way had filled the wolves with confusion and growing apprehension.
"You may be wondering why we goblins have taken you captive," Dick began, addressing the wolves. "Your sole purpose now, as prisoners of the Black Wolf clan, is to serve us – to bear heirs for the goblins."
His declaration sent a wave of excitement through the goblins, some of whom began disrobing, their eyes gleaming with a dreadful lust. The female wolves, understanding their grim purpose, were overcome with fear and despair.
...
As time marched on in the simulation, a month later, Dick, the goblin king, sat on his stone throne, tallying his clan's numbers. The system's mission required more than twenty adult goblins, over fifty juveniles, and at least ten fertile females.
There were now twenty-one adult goblins, forty-five juvenile goblins, and twenty-two females capable of reproduction – a testament to the partial success of Dick's audacious plan. He had aimed to use the female black wolves as mates for his goblin subjects, hoping for the birth of goblin offspring.
The progress of this bizarre and chilling experiment was evident over the month. Dick's research had shown that goblin genetics were alarmingly potent, with no apparent barriers to cross-species reproduction. Out of ten impregnated female wolves, two births were stillborn. The remaining eight bore four goblin cubs and four small, green-skinned creatures with four limbs – though these hybrid creatures survived less than half a day.
From these outcomes, Dick calculated a 40% chance of successful goblin offspring from the union of goblins and black wolves. His experiment, though ethically unsettling, had proven successful, offering a viable strategy for the expansion of his goblin clan.
Consequently, Dick chose to shift the goblin clan's focus away from hunting human adventurers, aiming to avoid potential complications. Instead, they targeted the black wolves, specifically capturing the females to bring back to their lair for reproduction.
With the addition of the original six female human captives, there were now sixteen female wolves in the goblin lair. This strategic shift enabled rapid growth within Dick's domain, reaching a rate that was nothing short of astonishing.
New varieties of goblins began to emerge, birthed by the black wolves. These included the Claw Goblin, boasting sharp claws, and the Running Goblin, adept at swift movement on all fours. However, these were still considered low-level goblins, only slightly more powerful in certain aspects compared to the ordinary goblins.
"Now, what I await the birth of an heir from one more female wolf. Once that occurs, System Mission 1 will be complete. It's time to conclude this chapter," Dick mused to himself. Over two months had passed since his arrival, and while he had successfully built his reign, there were no sentimental ties holding him to this place.
"Goblin Scout, understand my command," Dick said, his voice calm as he gazed upon the kneeling Goblin Scout.
"King, if it is truly your will, I am prepared to take up your mantle," the Goblin Scout replied earnestly.
Indeed, Dick had chosen this particular Goblin Scout, noted for his obedience and task completion, as his successor. Tomorrow, after the birth of the last batch of goblin cubs from the black wolf, Dick planned to abdicate the throne. He intended to depart with the forest elf mother Risa, who had regained her sanity, and the remaining six human women, leading them back to their respective worlds.
As for the goblin lair, its purpose had been served with the mission's completion. Dick had accumulated 800 evolution points, enough for an F-level evolution, but he chose not to evolve just yet. He was waiting for the mission's end, hoping to evolve into a being that transcended ordinary goblins and to begin this transformation back in reality.
"King, what about those who are disobedient?" the Goblin Scout hesitantly inquired, revealing his lingering concerns. His intelligence, higher than that of ordinary goblins, had evolved through prolonged contact with Dick, adopting a more human-like approach to thinking and understanding power.
"They have been dealt with," Dick replied, noting the subtle cunning in the Goblin Scout's demeanor. He mused on whether the scout's acquisition of human wisdom was a blessing or a curse. Ultimately, Dick was indifferent; his reign was at its end, and he was ready to assist in the smooth transition of power.
Thus, Dick completed the succession process and concluded his brief tenure as the goblin king. The next day, as the sounds of newborn Goblin cubs filled the lair, he embarked on a short journey with Risa and the human women, stepping away from the world he had momentarily ruled.
