Chapter 66: I Need a Wolf
Da Liang's brain flashed, and he decided to build it.
So he said to Blue Ears, the leader of the snow wolf tribe, "I'm really sorry. Now that the food problem in the Misty Zone has been solved, other supplies have also entered the Misty Zone from more convenient trade routes. I don't think we'll be able to work together commercially anymore. ”
The Misty Zone hadn't opened the portal to the Snow Plains for so long, and Blue Ears had already guessed that the new Misty District rulers no longer needed them to provide the goods of the Overworld, but after hearing it from Da Liang's mouth, Blue Ears couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"It's a shame. Perhaps I should move south with my tribe, where I may be able to find food to sustain my tribe. ”
At this time, Da Liang smiled and said, "Blue Ear Chief, although I said that we can't cooperate commercially, it doesn't mean that we can't have other transactions.
I know that the orc-domesticated wolf can run in the snow and in the mountains. If I want to hire your wolves to find something for me, how many wolves can you give me? ”
After Da Liang closed one door for the Snow Wolf Tribe, he opened another.
If you can rent a wolf in exchange for a gratuity, it is really a great thing for the snow wolf tribe. Now there is still some time before the arrival of summer, and the tribe's food reserves are already tight, and if the snow wolf tribe cannot obtain enough funds, the entire tribe must carry out a large migration.
The snow field was full of dangers, and Blue Ears had calculated that if he decided to move the tribe, he must be prepared to lose two percent of his clansmen, in case he was attacked by large-scale powerful monsters, the loss of clansmen would only be more.
Blue Ears quickly thought about the wolves in the Snow Tribe, and then said to Da Liang: "200, our Snow Tribe can provide 200 wolves for transporting supplies, Mr. Deboning." These wolves are our endemic snow wolves, they are more hardy, and they can run on both snow and ice. Our requirement is that, in addition to the cost of employment, the daily food consumed by these wolves during their employment period is provided by Mr. Deboner. ”
The wolf is a big consumer of food in the orc tribe, although these domesticated wolf tastes are very mixed, all the raw meat and rotten meat and dry food can be eaten, and they can live if they are hungry and gnaw the bark, but the wolf is there, and the length of the head and tail is two meters determines that they are all big stomachs.
In the early stage, there were no flying classes, and orcs with short legs were generally very dependent on the mobility of the wolf. Therefore, even if the wolf eats too much, an orc tribe must raise a certain size of wolf if it wants to survive. And the wolf can't be allowed to gnaw on the bark, the nutrition of the bark can only survive, and if the wolf wants to run, it must be fed a mixture of meat and refined food.
For the snow wolf tribe, even if Mr. Bone Removal does not pay wages and can raise these 200 wolves for them, they are willing to work. As long as they stay up until summer, the food is abundant, and the well-fed beasts do not attack the large groups of orcs at will, the snow wolf tribe can migrate.
200 wolves are half of the wolves of the snow wolf tribe, but for the project in the big picture......
"Too little!" Da Liang said: "There is no problem in providing food and remuneration for the wolves, but 200 wolves are far from the number I thought. I want to build a city here, Lord Blueear, there is a great demand for wolves, and it is a long-term hire.
In the early days of the city, I needed to build lumber yards and quarries nearby, and these heavy things needed to be transported by wolves, and I thought that at least 1,000 wolves would be needed to keep the city running. ”
Blue Ears didn't expect that this human named Bone Killer would build a city here, shouldn't the city be built by the sea? In the hinterland of this snowfield, there are no roads, and only by the sea can there be maritime merchants, so that the city can exchange the specialties obtained from the snowfield for money, and then invest in the development of the city.
"Mr. Bony is going to build a city here? I don't think the heart of this snowy field is suitable for building a city. ”
Da Liang said: "I have the final say on whether it is suitable for building a city." The only obstacle to my city now is that there are so few wolves you can offer. 1,000 wolves is only enough for the initial construction of the city, and when my city takes shape, I will need more wolves.
I need to build forts around cities to protect against powerful enemies, mines farther away, and roads to connect them. By the way, and to open a line of communication to the southern coast, where my sea fleet can deliver food to the city.
All material transportation needs wolves, and in my mind, there must be at least 10,000 wolves to serve my city. ”
10,000 Wolves!
Blue Ears could tell from Da Liang's words that he wasn't joking, and that he wasn't building a small city with a radius of less than a kilometer, and that such a city would be the largest in the snowfield if it were built.
If the Snow Wolf Tribe can participate in the construction of this city, it will definitely become the most powerful tribe in this snowy field in the future.
But where to find 10,000 wolves?
10,000 wolves, not to mention how to feed them, it takes 10,000 orcs to control so many wolves, and there are only less than 1,000 orcs in the snow wolf tribe, including the old, weak, sick and disabled. Not to mention 10,000 wolves, even the 1,000 wolves needed in the early stage of city construction, they can't take them out.
But did you miss this opportunity in vain?
Blue Ears, who suddenly made up his mind, said to Da Liang, "Is Mr. Deboned willing to lend me an army?" ”
Borrow the army? Is there going to be a war?
Da Liang said: "If I can help you get a wolf, there is no problem at all in lending you an army. But first tell me who you want to attack and what I can gain. ”
Blue Ears pulled a twig out of the fire and drew a simple map on the ground with the blackened end, marking a few circles on it.
"We are not the only snow wolf tribe in this vast snowy field, in fact we are only a medium-sized orc tribe, with only 200 big-eared monsters, 400 wolf knights, 100 orc axe-throwers, and 50 ogres that can fight.
In the slightly warmer and seaside mountains to the south live some large orc tribes, who control wolf hutches that can directly recruit wolf knights, and have plenty of food to raise and breed wolves.
Originally, my plan was to lead the tribe south and become a vassal of a large tribe.
If Mr. Bone Stripper really wants to build a city here, he will have to use the course of the Great River to the south to connect to the sea, and the orc tribes living in the lower reaches of the Great River will become an obstacle for you.
If you are willing to join forces with our Snow Wolf Tribe, you can open up a road to the sea. We annex these tribes to obtain a wolf hutch and a wolf in the service of the gentleman. ”
