After the meeting with Cyrus, the hobgoblins were truly motivated, and they instantly started to prepare for the migration of their young, women, and old.
Gli also sent out words to the Green Goblin tribal chiefs to come to the settlement as soon as possible, or they will have to suffer the consequences.
Meanwhile, Cyrus didn't stay idle either, and he decided to hunt for the reaming SP as well as fetch the five girls since there was no longer a need to hunt in the Goblin Region anymore. It would be akin to shooting himself in the foot now.
Besides, the Goblins weren't the only ones present in the Moonshine Forest, to begin with.
Using the special marks he left on the ladies, Cyrus easily tracked them a couple of miles away from the hobgoblin settlement, and they all seemed to have gone through a large-scale battle with dead bodies and blood scattered around them.
Although they were all much more powerful than those green goblins but their numbers were quite terrifying, and they kept on coming like ants. In these past few days, they had killed probably over thousand goblins and had little time for rest.
Nevertheless, this also kept them on their toes and gave them an opportunity to grow and practice their swordplay and have a deeper understanding of the spells they had already learned.
"Just how many are there?" Carla couldn't help but complain with pursed lips.
"I never thought those goblins could be pests at such a level. But I must say, they are perfect targets to practice the Primal Sword Dance. I think I'm going to achieve the initial proficiency soon." Leona declared proudly.
But the others couldn't help but roll their eyes at her declaration because now they knew Leona liked to exaggerate things.
It was also worth mentioning that they now understand each other quite a lot after going through all those battles.

The ladies' eyes flashed with all sorts of emotion when they heard Cyrus's voice and quickly glanced at the voice direction in unison.
They saw Cyrus standing on a tree branch while grinning at them before he jumped down and landed a few meters away from their resting place while crushing a goblin's head in the process.
"Ah, where were you?" Leona couldn't help but exclaim while pouting, but she was clearly brimming with happiness like the others.
The others also wanted to know as Cyrus's departure was rather abrupt, and they even thought he was testing them by secretly watching over them.
"Didn't I tell you all? I have been away for scouting this place, and after I was done, I came back to you all." Cyrus coolly explained as he looked at the ladies and was quite content with their improvement since he could now feel a sharp aura from them.
"So, what did you find?" Rita asked with anticipation in her voice, and others' ears perked up as well.
Cyrus smiled mysteriously as he said, "Well, foremost, I found that we are all in a massive forest called the Moonshine Forest. The region we are in was called the Goblin Region."
"Was?" Hilda's eyes narrowed as she picked up something from his subtle words.
Cyrus nodded in approval, "Yes, it was just half a day ago. Because I completely subdued the ruling power of this region, and now it belonged to us. I renamed it to Lust Sword Region. It will be our very first foothold in the Behemoth World and also the trading hub between the dynasty and this world!"
The ladies were instantly dumbfounded when they heard this terrifying revelation and thought as if they were dreaming.
They had been killing the goblins left and right for a few days, and Cyrus had already subdued the entire region. How could they not feel this way?
"You're not messing with us, right?" Leo asked with bewilderment.
"What do you doubt my capabilities?" Cyrus questioned smilingly.
Realization dawn upon the ladies as they forget for a moment who Cyrus is and what sort of status he represents. Even the powers they all have were granted to them by Cyrus.
"Then this means we can't kill those guys anymore?" Hilda asked as she suddenly thought about how Cyrus came back, and this should be the reason behind it.
Cyrus nodded, "Yes. The goblin race of this region will now be the first servitude race of the dynasty. In the following days, I want their weak members to migrate back to the dimension so we can quickly complete the numbers, but I want to do it without anyone knowing.
"This matter will be only known by the Temple Members in the future, and there is no need to tell anyone else how our dimension expands and what it represents. There will also be a massive income of resources from the goblins, so I want Carla to oversee this entire operation with the goblin race."
Carla was startled since she wasn't expected Cyrus would entrust her with this task. But the others know why he picked her. It was because she wasn't just a nobody before she joined the temple.
Carla was one of the most successful businesswomen of the entire Albert City, and she was quite capable of handling this sort of affair.
"I-I will do my best!" She quickly agreed with resolute eyes. She didn't reject or even say she wasn't capable, she wanted to be of some use to Cyrus, and this was her chance.
"I know. Don't worry; you won't be alone in this since the great migration is just the beginning. You represent me, and you can order the entire dimension around, and no one can reject you.
"So, I want you to call the two imperial councilmen and draw a plan to build another fortress around the dimension mist and gate, and I want the entire Lust Sword Region under the fortress boundaries. The goblins will be your workforce. Use them as you see fit.
"Since it will be absorbed by dimension once it expands, there is no point in holding back from building this new city beforehand. I want everyone to treat this entire place as it is already ours." Cyrus coldly declared.
Everyone was bewildered by Cyrus's grand plan, and Carla felt even more pressure since she didn't expect this simple mission to be this complex.
It was massive responsibility to build a fortress, especially when it was that important.

Cyrus didn't have doubt that Carla wasn't capable of this. In fact, he chose her specifically for her leadership capability and built this whole plan around her.
Although he knew this was still early for humans to know about this world, he was willing to expose it to some of them. If he remained afraid of using every means at his disposal, then there was no point in having it.
The humans had already built a city in this sort of environment, and it would be a waste not to make them build another one!
In fact, Carla might not even have to do much since those old wily foxes will do anything to please Cyrus and also make sure they won't mess this up.
"What do you want us to do in the meantime?" Hilda asked with a hint of anticipation in her voice.
They all knew since Cyrus was handing this matter in Carla's hand, he was planning to do something else, and the reaming four would be with him.
Cyrus smiled, which was somewhat villainous, as he replied, "Didn't I mention that this was just a single region of the massive Moonshine Forest? There are six more regions, and they are far stronger than the goblins, not to mention they are much richer with resources as well.
"Right now, we need to make sure not to alert those regions about the movement in our region until the first fortress is fully built. Despite I have the capability to do the same with the other region, I don't want to do it.
"Because there is no need to make promises with them. The Goblins are more useful in many ways in our current situation, while the other six are worth far less right now.
"The main reason is they are all beasts, not humanoid like goblins or as adaptable as them. They are just blessed with superior abilities and bloodlines than the goblins at their current level.
"Of course, I also have some selfish motives to keep a hostile relationship with the reaming six regions until it suits my need before I get them in one fell swoop.
"In the meanwhile, I want us to antagonize them so they won't have time to pay attention to the Lust Sword Region until it's too late. Our first targets will be going to be the two nearest regions to our territory.
"You four will handle the Ink Wolf Region while I will be in the Fire Leopard Region!"
The ladies couldn't help but look at Cyrus strangely, as he looked like nothing but an evil villain right now!
