To outsiders, borrowing a group of Kobolds' power would seem quite ridiculous.

After all, to this world's people, their impressions of Kobolds were incredibly poor.

Even farmers would look down on Kobolds' strength.

Stupid and weak. That was how the world's people saw Kobolds.

Even if rare individuals among Kobolds awakened dragon bloodlines, people's views towards them still did not change.

Of course, there was nothing incorrect with those views.

After all, from how Chen Heng saw it, most Kobolds were indeed like that.

However, this was not the case for this Kobold tribe.

At the very least, from how Dilin saw it, this Kobold tribe's strength was quite great.

They had thousands of Kobolds, and such strength was not weak at all.

Even a Second Ring Sorcerer would not have a good time against such numbers.

This would definitely be the case for the Centaurs as well.

Moreover, putting aside all of this, their mysterious leader did not seem like a pushover either.

Dilin looked at Chen Heng as she thought to herself.

She could sense that Chen Heng's power was incredibly great, and his divine energy aura seemed to spread out and cover everything.

This was the true aura of gods and not just the divine energy that Priests had.

To ordinary people, there would not be a great difference, but for a Dryad like Dilin, she could easily tell the difference.

After all, she was a Dryad and her ancestor was a god.

In this world, there were many existences with divine energy.

However, those existences were all quite different.

The Priests could cast divine skills through borrowing gods' power.

However, they were just servants.

Those with God Domains were completely different.

God Domains were things that only those who had Divinities could awaken and have.

The only existences in this world who had such things were gods or demigods.

Only the descendants of gods, or Saints who had personally been bestowed by gods with Divinities, would have weak God Domains.

Dilin believed Chen Heng to be such a figure.

Chen Heng's aura was incredibly dense, and even though his God Domain was weak, it indeed existed and covered his surroundings.

Even if he was a Kobold, for him to have a God Domain, he definitely was not simple.

That was indeed the case.

Even right now, Dilin could tell that there were many special things about Chen Heng.

It was not just his communication skills or his figure; just his dragon bloodline made Dilin feel that it was difficult to breathe.

She could sense that his dragon bloodline power was incredibly great and contained a berserk and terrifying energy. Once it exploded out, it would be able to instantly inundate and devour her.

Putting aside the entire Kobold, just Chen Heng would be of incredible help to her.

That was why Dilin had made this decision.

"Looks like you've made a decision," Chen Heng said as he smiled at Dilin, "Tell me about your plans."

"What?" Dilin stared back, not knowing how to answer.

Chen Heng looked at her and asked, "What's your plan? Since you have a goal, then what are your plans to achieve your goal? What shall we do next? And after helping you, what will I receive? Have you considered these questions?"

Chen Heng looked at Dilin as he threw out question after question.

Hearing those words, Dilin froze on the spot, staring ahead.

She had never thought about those things before.

"In other words, you only have a goal right now," Chen Heng said as he shook his head and smiled, "As for how to actually go about it, you haven't thought about it yet, right?"

Dilin stared into space for a while before nodding.

Just as Chen Heng had said, apart from a goal, she had nothing else.

She had no idea how to save her clanspeople or take revenge against those Centaurs.

Only after Chen Heng asked those things had she realized that things were not as simple as she had thought.

Looking at her like this, Chen Heng shook his head and squatted down.

He picked up a rock and made a simple drawing on the ground.

"This is our location."

He drew a circle on the ground before asking, "Where is your tribe?"

"In the north" Dilin's weak voice came back.

"What about the Centaurs?" Chen Heng asked.

This time, the girl shook her head.

She did not know where the Centaurs' tribe was.

It was only after they had attacked that the Dryads knew about the Centaurs.

"You don't even know where your enemies are; that makes things quite troublesome," Chen Heng said as he shook his head, "But it's not a big deal. Based on the Centaurs' habits, they seem to be nomadic, traveling about with their livestock.

"How far are we from your tribe? Or, in other words, how long did it take you to escape from your tribe to here?"

Chen Heng continued to ask.

"About half a month," Dilin thought about it before giving an answer.

"Half a month; that's not bad."

Chen Heng nodded, "Even though it's not too close, it's not too far away either. Perhaps we'll come into contact with them soon. Also, when you were running away that day, was it just you? Or were there others?"

"I think some others were able to escape," Dilin thought for a moment before replying, "But I don't know where they are."

"That's some good news," Chen Heng nodded, "Then the first thing to do is to send out people and try to find your clanspeople.

"Apart from this, we also need to increase our own strength before attacking the Centaurs."

He raised his head and looked at Dilin, "As for you, I'll need you to provide as much information as possible. How strong are the Centaurs? And what kind of divine skills did their Priests use? I'm sure you have some impression of that."

"Yes, I do," Dilin thought for a moment before replying.

"That is good then."

Chen Heng nodded and brought her to a room. He took out a quill and paper and began to make records.

Within the quiet room, the Dryad girl continuously spoke, while Chen Heng diligently wrote everything down.

He did not look like a Kobold but a scholar.

Seeing this scene, Dilin could not help but feel that it was quite strange.

In the past, she had never thought that such an existence could be born from the Kobolds.

In the end, Chen Heng had also organized some work for Dilin, which was to teach the Kobolds.

Under the current circumstances, finding a teacher for the Kobolds was very difficult.

This was because most humans did not know the Kobolds' language, while Kobolds did not know the human language.

As such, it was difficult for normal conversation to happen, much less teaching.

That was why Chen Heng had not been able to find suitable teachers.

However, the Dryad girl was quite suitable.

Dryads had a magic skill that could allow them to easily grasp a language.

As such, with a bit of time, Dilin would be able to learn the Kobold language and replace Chen Heng to teach the Kobolds.

This would reduce the burden on Chen Heng, allowing him to focus his efforts on other places.

In actuality, he indeed had many matters to take care of.

"We've made preparations."

After going out, Hechi and others were already waiting there. All of them were dressed in leather armor and looked quite intimidating.

"They are all trained; all of them are warriors," Hechi said as he looked at Chen Heng.

"Make preparations, we'll set out in a few days," Chen Heng said softly, "Now, it is time to take our original home back."

From when the Beastmen had attacked the Kobold tribe, the Kobold tribe had greatly grown and had the power to counterattack, but had not done so.

Now, it was about time.

"After we get rid of that Beastman tribe, we can take in a few other Kobold tribes and strengthen our power" Chen Heng thought to himself.

Compared to this region, there were many Kobold tribes in that original region.

Some of those Kobold tribes had a few hundred people, while others had thousands of people.

If Chen Heng could take in those tribes, it would allow his tribe to quickly grow and become stronger.

Before, Chen Heng had not been planning to do this.

Even though this could increase the tribe's power, it could also bring many problems.

Just management alone would be very difficult.

In the entire Kobold tribe, apart from Chen Heng, there was not a single literate Kobold.

As for people who could manage the tribe, they were incredibly rare.

However, by now, he had to act.

From what Dilin had said, the Centaur tribe was in the north and not too far away.

From their distance, they could encounter each other at any time and conflict would erupt.

When that time came, strength would be incredibly important.

If Chen Heng did not prepare in advance, when danger came, things would become troublesome.

As such, Chen Heng made the decision to leave here and devour other Kobold tribes to strengthen his forces.

He made the decision to set out in a few days.

When Chen Heng once again walked out of the room, 1,000 Kobold warriors had prepared.

By now, the Kobold tribe had 2,000 warriors.

It was just that the Kobold tribe was different from before.

The Kobold tribes had begun to learn agriculture, so a portion of their labor was in the fields.

Moreover, they needed to leave behind a portion of their forces to defend their tribe, as well as the elderly and weak.

As such, the forces that Chen Heng could take out were limited.

Apart from this, there was also the issue of food.

However, even this figure was already quite incredible.

Fortunately, the current Kobold tribe was still a collectivist society, and none of them had any concept of private property. None of them thought of the fields as their own, and anyone could go and work the fields.

That was how he was able to draw out so many people.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to draw out so many Kobold warriors.

Even in an ordinary human town, there were few places with thousands of people.

Such places could only take out a few hundred warriors.

However, even though it was just 1,000 Kobolds, they were much different from before.

The most evident difference was that their bodies were much stronger.

In the past, most of them looked quite frail and weak.

However, now, they all looked quite well-built. With a good diet and training, they had all become much stronger.

These Kobolds would not be any inferior to the Beastmen when they fought.

Moreover, they had weapons and armor.

They had purchased some of the weapons from human merchants, while most Kobolds used spears or simple bows and arrows.

Apart from this, most of the Kobold warriors wore leather armor.

Overall, their equipment was quite simple, but it had to be compared to their opponents.

Perhaps in Chen Heng's eyes, it would be quite simple, but compared to most races in the Wastelands, they were very well off. This was especially so when compared to the Beastmen.

During battles, weapons and armor were very, very useful.

Even skilled and powerful warriors would die after being stabbed by a spear.

Whether they were Kobolds or Beastmen, they all had fleshly bodies.

As such, the Kobolds had a big advantage over the Beastmen.

Moreover, these Kobolds had been personally trained by Chen Heng, and they were much better organized than the Beastmen.

Even if these 1,000 Kobold warriors faced greater numbers, Chen Heng would not be worried.

What's more, the Beastmen numbers they were going to face were far inferior.

Walking forwards and looking at the scenery in the distance, Chen Heng smiled and led the Kobold warriors forwards.

"How amazing," a sigh came out from a corner.

Hechi stood next to a carriage, and looking at the Kobold army, he could not help but express his amazement.

Chen Heng's methods in training the Kobolds were quite amazing.

The Kobolds who had been called stupid and weak now looked incredibly mighty and orderly in his hands.

One could not help but feel awe in seeing this scene.

Let alone Kobolds, such an orderly army was rare even among the humans.

At the very least, Hechi had never seen other rulers with such an army.

The armies of the human rulers he had seen all seemed incredibly lazy and disorganized.
