Cyrus received the notification as well as a massive amount of SP as he saw the hobgoblins in front of him fading away.
Cyrus knew the Settlement Leader would react this way, and he was counting on it because this would give him a chance to get rid of him and complete the Lust Mission.
Now not only has he completed his mission, but he has also successfully established his dominance and fear in the heart of every watching hobgoblin. Furthermore, no one was left from the Settlement Leader's side to oppose him.
Cyrus then turned around and looked at the hobgoblins behind him as they all were looking at those empty armor and clothes behind him. Not even corpses were left of those peak warriors of their race and their leader.
All of it happened so fast and swiftly that they didn't even blink before it finished.
Furthermore, Cyrus noticed another thing, the building behind the hobgoblins didn't get cut at all by his sword move just now, and only those he was intent on cutting were killed!
This was quite strange, and he put a mental note to investigate this later since it might be another aspect of the hymns which he was unaware of.
However, the hobgoblins weren't as sharp as him, nor did they care about these small details, and all of a sudden, one of them kneeled down and followed his example the others started to follow!
Soon the entire hobgoblin settlement was on their knees, and Cyrus couldn't help but feel a tingle of regret since he was hoping some of them try to avenge their leader so he could collect more SP.
If those hobgoblins knew his thought, they would've been trembling at their positions.
"Very good. You all have no idea you just made the wisest decision of your entire pitiful life!
"From now on, this Goblin Region will be renamed as the Lust Sword Region, and this settlement will be the first fortress of the Lust Sword Dynasty, and you will all live and die as members of the Dynasty!
"Now, if no one has any objection, then let's get to work, shall we? After all, we have the entire Moonshine Forest to conquer!" Cyrus coldly declared, which made the hobgoblins feel a strange kind of emotion.
Afterward, Cyrus occupied the leader's residence, and all those servants, wives, and even children of the late Settlement Leader who were hiding all this time in a secret underground bunker were spared by Cyrus and released.
Those guys were nothing but hobgoblins in his eyes, not worth more than the others despite their so-called status.
Then he summoned all the hobgoblins who hold some kind of rank in the settlement, like the guard commander, and food distributor, there was even a justice department in this place, and Cyrus summoned them all, and they came as if their lives depended on it.
Anyone who held power in the settlement was summoned, and within half an hour, the spacious hall of the residence was filled with hobgoblins with pale and apprehensive expressions.
They could've run, but after the power show Cyrus put on for them, they were thinking, if he wanted them to die, why would he go through this much trouble?
One had to know these goblins had never seen magic but only heard about it, and Cyrus was like a god to them.
Cyrus sat over a chair as he looked at those hobgoblins who were sweating, and some of them were even trembling.
"Alright, if everyone is here, let's start this meeting which will be the first step toward the unlimited riches your race will get if everyone goes smoothly. First thing, I want to know if you guys have full control over the Green Goblins?"
One of the hobgoblins with a wrinkled face hastily replied with a respectful tone, "I-I do!"
"And you are?" Cyrus asked coolly while looking at the old hobgoblin.
The guy literally trembled when Cyrus's eyes fell on him, but he didn't dare to keep him waiting and replied, "I'm Gli, in charge of collecting tributes from the Green Goblins!"
"Alright, Gli, I want you to summon every green goblin tribe chief here for a chat. How quickly can you do it?" Cyrus questioned.
Gli was startled, but he then quickly started to muse and then replied, "4 days! Give me four days Holy Being!"
The hobgoblins were now calling Cyrus a 'Holy Being' because of his incomprehensible prowess.
"Granted." Cyrus dismissively stated before he stirred the main topic, "Since you all submitted to me, I won't treat you badly. As I stated before, I'm here to conquer these lands, and I came from a place called the Dimension which is another world, My World!
"Not only is the world far richer with resources, but it can also help you grow far better than these barren lands. I have granted the goblin race land there, and those goblins already have built a city specific for themselves, and it is far more lavisher than this settlement.
"I've also granted the Goblin Lord there a special method which can help your kind to grow and accumulate power you can only dream of. Now tell me do you want to go there?"
The hobgoblins were all in a daze and disbelief since Cyrus's words were straight out of some lore for them. They hadn't even explored the region out of the Goblin Region, but now they were given a chance to go into another world.
Furthermore, by Cyrus's prowess and his description of the place, it was like a paradise for them, and who didn't want to go to paradise?
Their breathing hastened as they quickly answered in affirmation.
Cyrus wanted to achieve exactly this sort of thing because it would give him massive leverage over these primitive guys, and this will also keep them motivated.
Besides, he was planning on taking them all in the first place, but right now, he can only take those goblins below the tier-20 since his dimension rank cap was still of a bronze rank.
Once it is increased, it'll accumulate more powerful people, and this was his goal from the beginning. He wanted to use these goblins to complete the population condition of his dimension.
But he can't them that, can he?
"Heh, if everyone goes there, who would remain here to do my bidding?" His words instantly damper cold water on those hobgoblins' greedy eyes, and they became dejected.
But Cyrus wasn't done yet, "But I can send those who weren't needed in this place. Like children, women and old and strong men would stay behind and continue to work under me. If they perform well, they can be retired and united with their family, or they can at least die knowing that their families are all safe and sound under my protection."
This time all those hobgoblins' dejected expressions lightened up again as this was really a far better option, and this way, they fought without being worried about the safety of their loved ones.
This was the biggest reason the hobgoblins never tried to invade another territory, they couldn't leave their territory unprotected, or those other regions would not let this chance pass by. The same goes for the other regions.
However, now Cyrus was promising them a safe haven for their families, so how could they not be happy? They even feel more revered toward Cyrus and thankful for his magnanimity.
Cyrus knew he had completely hooked these hobgoblins now and earned their loyalty quite easily, "Prepare these people as well as all the resources accumulated in the settlement and only keep enough for the people who will remain.
"Those resources will be a sort of payment for their stay, and in the coming days, the more resources you collect or work hard, the lavisher your families will live. Nothing is free in this world; I hope you can understand it!"
This was Cyrus's second purpose of subduing the goblins, to collect resources for his dimension. He knew the rations under the humans would end in less than a month, so he needed to start worrying about this problem as well.
Food was the main sores of any economy, even for cultivators. They needed even more food than the mortals until they entered the Qi core realm, where they no longer needed to consume food and started living on just purely on Qi.
But this was a problem that needed to be solved, no matter what, until he annexed more fertilized lands and rivers!
