Chapter 112: Welcome to Castle Tribe!

I opened my gate, allowing the goblins to step into my territory.

One by one, the newcomers cautiously crossed the entrance, their eyes wandering over the courtyard and the surrounding castle walls.

"Woah... So this is the Castle Tribe?"

The chieftain’s daughter looked around with wide, curious eyes.

"Yeah! This will be your new home! Welcome to the Castle Tribe!" Gopuflammy said with a grin.

She approached the girl and placed a hand on her shoulder, looking rather pleased with herself as she introduced the place.

Well...

There wasn’t actually all that much to see yet though.

My castle was still roughly the size of a small manor. We had an average-sized courtyard, a single storage house, a small well, a slime toilet, and two construction projects that were still underway.

That was pretty much it.

And yet, the newcomers seemed thoroughly impressed.

Their eyes sparkled as they looked around, almost as though they’d just arrived at some magnificent royal palace.

Haha...

Well, that’s good.

At least their first impression of their new home seemed to be a positive one. After everything they’d been through, I was glad they could finally settle somewhere safe.

Soon, everyone gathered in the courtyard, where we’d hastily prepared a huge bonfire for the occasion.

The newcomers watched curiously as my goblins busied themselves with the preparations. Some even offered help gathering wood and stones.

Once everything was ready, I sent a message to Gopuro.

The moment he received it, the guy broke into a grin. He immediately stood up, brushed the dirt off his clothes, and hurried toward the center of the courtyard.

He even took a moment to straighten his posture before raising his voice to get everyone’s attention.

"ALRIGHT, EVERYONE!!!"

The courtyard gradually fell quiet as the goblins turned toward him.

"To welcome our new friends to the Castle Tribe, our great lord, the Big Boss, has prepared a special present for everyone!"

He paused dramatically, allowing his words to sink in.

Then, he raised two hands toward the sky.

"BEHOLD! OUR LORD’S MIRACLE!!!"

And right at that moment...

POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!

A massive feast suddenly materialized above the courtyard!

Steaks!

Chicken!

Pork chops!

Apples!

And bananas!

They came raining down from the sky, dropping onto everyone’s heads and scattering across the courtyard!

Needless to say, the reaction was absolutely wild!

"WOAAAAAAAAH!!!"

"HOLY SHIT! MEAT! IT’S RAINING MEAT!!!"

"FOOD! SO MUCH FOOD!!!"

The newcomers were completely shocked!

They scrambled to collect the falling food, hurriedly picking up whatever had landed nearby. Within seconds, the courtyard had turned into a chaotic scramble, with goblins shouting and laughing as they gathered their unexpected gifts.

One goblin couldn’t even wait.

He grabbed a large piece of meat and sank his teeth into it right away.

"MNNNGHH!!!"

His eyes suddenly widened.

"WOAHHHH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! THIS MEAT IS FREAKING DELICIOUS!!!"

And that was all it took.

The others quickly followed suit. Before long, the entire courtyard was filled with excited shouts, laughter, and the sounds of goblins devouring their food.

Meanwhile, even the chieftain was left speechless.

He stared at the enormous slab of tomahawk steak in his hands, his eyes trembling slightly as though he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing.

He looked down at the steak, then up toward the castle, his eyes glistening with tears.

"..."

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Then he took a bite.

Then his eyes were filled with more tears.

His daughter, on the other hand, was already tugging at his remaining arm.

"Father! Look! It’s so big!"

The girl held up a piece of chicken with both hands, her face glowing with excitement.

The chieftain couldn’t help but smile and patted her head..

Meanwhile...

"AAAAHHHH! A MIRACLE! TRULY A MIRACLE!!!"

The elderly shaman was already holding two chicken drumsticks and danced a weird dance!

He had apparently wasted no time claiming his share.

The old goblin brought one drumstick to his mouth and took a generous bite.

"Mmmmmmm~~~!!!"

His eyes immediately rolled back in pure bliss.

Then, all of a sudden, he dropped to his knees and prostrated himself toward the castle!.

"A GOD! THE LORD OF THE CASTLE TRIBE IS TRULY A GOD!!!"

Tears were streaming down his face.

"TO THINK THAT THE CASTLE LORD CAN SUMMON SUCH WONDERFUL FOOD FROM THE HEAVENS! THIS IS TRULY A DIVINE MIRACLE!"

And hearing the shaman saying that, several goblins next to him instantly did the same thing.

They hurriedly placed their food aside before dropping to their knees and prostrating themselves toward me.

"ALL HAIL THE CASTLE TRIBE LORD!"

"ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY BIG BOSS!"

Watching them, I couldn’t help but laugh.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now THIS is the effect I wanted!

Look at them!

They’re practically worshipping me!

Still...

One more time, I’m not really a god though...

And just like that, the welcoming feast began.

My goblins then took the opportunity to teach the newcomers how to prepare the meat properly, cooking them and seasoning them with salt.

The newcomers were more than happy to follow their instructions.

Before long, the entire courtyard was filled with the delicious smell of roasted meat.

Needless to say, everyone absolutely loved it!

I simply let them enjoy themselves.

The feast continued for hours, lasting until the sun had nearly disappeared beyond the horizon.

The bonfire burned brightly in the center of the courtyard, its warm light illuminating the goblins gathered around it. Some were still eating, others were chatting with their new companions, and a few had already become so full that they were lying on their backs with their stomachs bulging.

It was quite a lively scene.

And honestly...

Seeing everyone gathered together like this made me feel rather satisfied.

Hehe...

Looks like the Castle Tribe is getting bigger.

And finally, once everyone had eaten their fill... it was time for the next step.

Alright...

Now that everyone has a full stomach, let’s officially welcome them into the Castle Tribe!

It was time to grant them all Castle Citizenship!
