Niu Zida's group escorted the prisoners and returned to the vicinity of the village with the spoils of war. After counting the few prisoners still captured in the village, they totaled 107 thief prisoners this time. There were about 50 corpses collected along the way. Of course, there were also some that fell into mountain streams and cliffs. The corpses inside the cave could no longer be found. Adding the statistics obtained from questioning these prisoners in the past few days, the total number of thief deaths in the three battles was about 120. The remaining 200 or so thieves should have scattered and fled.
On their side, there were a total of 75 Goblins left, with a dozen or so killed in action. There were 90 people left in the village. About a dozen had died in recent conflicts. Niu Zida had Aponia gather about 10 strong uncles over 50 years old and the few remaining young women and grouped them together as the village militia, giving them weapons seized from the thieves.
The remaining Goblins naturally also got the thieves' weapons, which could be modified slightly for their own use. In this way, Niu Zida put together a force of nearly a hundred humans and Goblins, barely enough to be on par with the thief prisoners.
After escorting these thieves back to the village, the first step, of course, was to use the Discipline ability to make them believe that they would be executed by the Goblins if they didn't do well, and then let them start rebuilding the village under the supervision of humans and Goblins. After all, the village had been almost completely burned down in a fire to resist them.
The villagers in the militia wielding weapons and working alongside the Goblins to supervise another group of humans working for them was a strange feeling for them. Of course, considering that the villagers and his Goblins could not completely trust each other, Niu Zida mainly divided them into two groups. The villager militia was on duty during the day, and the Goblins were on duty at night to guard these thief prisoners.
Of course, these thief prisoners could not simply be treated as coolies. Niu Zida ordered that if they performed well and worked actively, people from among the thieves could join the village militia organization to assist in supervision, so they would not have to work. On the first day, he released a young man from a neighboring village who worked hard and joined the village militia. He also told the prisoners that there would be one spot per month in the future, so they could know that working hard could also get rid of the fate of being a prisoner coolie.
Aunt Liddle was naturally also brought to the village to live with everyone. The original farmhouse was still preserved in place because Aunt Liddle was afraid that her husband and son might worry if they came back one day and didn't see her, so she specially left a note in the farmhouse, writing that she had moved to a nearby village and that they should come to the village to find her if they didn't see her when they returned.
After finishing these arrangements, three or four days had already passed. Although he said he wanted to have children with Aponia, he hadn't been free at all these past few days. After everything was settled, Niu Zida finally had some free time. Of course, to avoid any gaps in the maids' pregnancies, he had to stagger their pregnancy times. Currently, he still had three maids taking turns supervising every day. After all, he couldn't completely rely on the Goblins or village militia; he needed the powerful force of his own maids as a deterrent.
Now, Niu Zida mainly resided in Aponia's church and had turned it into his new base. Of course, Aunt Liddell was still in charge of his daily needs, and a Goblin sentry was stationed in the attic. There were two Goblin guards at both the front and back doors. In reality, the Goblin guards at the front and back doors were just a facade. If there was real danger, the two Goblin guards probably couldn't even hold them off for a minute.
The remaining Goblins were gathered by Niu Zida and housed in the western part of the village. Because the entire village had been almost completely burned down, it was a good opportunity to reshape the village layout after rebuilding the houses. He also planned to build a circle of rammed earth walls around the village, but since it was currently winter, digging was difficult, so he had to wait another month until spring arrived before construction could begin. For now, to facilitate living, three large common sleeping rooms were built: one for imprisoning captives, one for the villagers, and one for the Goblins. After all, it was the coldest time of the year, so it was most important to build houses first to give everyone a place to escape the cold.
He wasn't too worried about the food supply because he had seized a lot of grain from the thieves. At least, being frugal, it would be enough to last for a few months. When it warmed up in the spring, he could organize people to cultivate the land and plant potatoes, cabbages, radishes, and oats. Especially potatoes, which could usually be harvested in three months.
After arranging all of this, Niu Zida could finally relax and produce with Aponia. Of course, before preparing, he still wanted to have Aponia hold him and take a nice bath first. The conditions in the church were much better than in the farmhouse. There was a separate bathroom and five rooms. Besides one for Aunt Liddell to live in, the remaining rooms were divided into two: one for the maids to live in, and one for Niu Zida himself. If he needed a maid's service at night, he would call the maid to his room. The remaining space was used as a nursery and a warehouse.
Aponia gently held Niu Zida and carefully helped him clean his body in the bathroom. Recently, he had been busy with battles and work. Honestly, Niu Zida's body was indeed covered in dust and needed to be cleaned.
Feeling Aponia's soft hands scooping hot water and pouring it over his body, Niu Zida hugged Aponia's fragrant, soft, and fair body, rubbing against her warm, soft, large breasts. He had finally obtained this beautiful woman as a maid after all his hardships. These large breasts were the best reward for his hard work recently, right?
"Master, please don't move around, otherwise it won't be cleaned properly."
"It can't be helped. Aponia, you're too charming."
Holding these large breasts, kissing and licking them, Niu Zida was completely intoxicated by the beautiful woman's fragrance.
Hearing Niu Zida's words, a slight blush appeared on Aponia's snow-white face, but she still gently cleaned every part of Niu Zida's body. Finally, when she cleaned a certain part, Niu Zida couldn't help but say:
"Aponia, turn around and hold onto the tub, and stick your butt out."
Understanding her master's command, Aponia turned around and held the edge of the tub with her soft hands, while the small Goblin leaned forward and thrust his waist, entering the wet and tight place... After finishing, Aponia lay exhausted on the edge of the tub, and Niu Zida lay on the beautiful woman's beautiful back, panting and resting. The passion from just now disappeared, and the entire bathroom was filled with only the two people's slightly rapid breathing slowly becoming calm.
"I really hope an elite Goblin can be born."
"Yes, Master, I will work hard."
Aponia actually answered after hearing Niu Zida's exclamation. He didn't expect the beautiful woman to have such a charming side, which made Niu Zida like Aponia even more.
