Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 113 Food
Austin's deep sleep did not cause much fluctuation in the Dragon Nest tribe. Apart from praying every morning and evening, the Dragon Nest orcs began to move forward slowly according to the usual track. Under various divisions of labor and cooperation, Dragon Nest The nest tribe is gradually expanding, and its strength is growing rapidly.

The captive orcs of the Blood Claw branch were still at peace, and did not cause any trouble because of Austin's deep sleep, and in the process of successive treatments and subsequent military training reforms, the orc captives of the Blood Claw tribe also began to integrate Within the entire Dragon Nest tribal system.

It is conceivable that in the near future, the orc captives will be completely integrated into the entire Dragon Nest tribe.

And this also made the high-level officials including Winnie Quick heave a sigh of relief. In fact, before falling asleep, Austin handed over the war horn and the magic crossbow that were cleared from the Blood Claw tribe to Winnie for emergency. To prevent any accidents during his deep sleep,

Now it seems that you can breathe a sigh of relief.

With the addition of a large number of orc captives, the total population of the Dragon Nest tribe has now steadily exceeded 2000, and the number of extraordinary orcs is also more than [-].

Such a huge force is already a well-deserved overlord in the nearby area, and it is also worthy of Austin's decision to fall into a deep sleep and hand over the security defense to his subordinates.

With such a huge population, the food consumed every day is also very large. Fortunately, the Dragon Nest Tribe started to open up wasteland and plant after the end of the last cold winter. Now, after more than half a year of development, the tribe has also accumulated it. A large amount of food, although due to time constraints, if it is only planted kudzu root, it is estimated that it can only consume more than two months for the entire Dragon Nest tribe that has expanded to more than 2000 people.

However, there is still half a month before the arrival of the cold winter, coupled with the kudzu root that can be harvested in the wasteland, and various grains such as rice and rice, it can barely support the entire tribe for three months. Cold winter period.

Of course, this is just a calculation of pure consumption. In fact, the dragon nest orcs can also go out to gather and hunt in addition to opening up the harvested food sources in the wasteland.

The cold winter is approaching, and both fruits and various prey in the forest have become very abundant. It seems that all creatures and creatures are going to spend the last part of the year carnival.

Every day when the orcs are sent out for hunting and gathering, they can get a lot of fruits and kudzu seeds. Moreover, due to the joining of the centaur orcs and the full rush of the goblin manufacturing workshop, enough arrows have been produced, enough to make half a centaur. The centaurs have played enough long-range advantages.

Every time I go hunting, due to the perfect discipline and group cooperation among the hunting corps, coupled with the strong running endurance and long-distance advantages of the centaur orcs, they can basically return with a full load.

After a few days, the harvested prey was more than enough for the entire tribe to consume.

Of course, although the orc hunting team can hunt a lot of prey every day, in fact, a large part of the daily harvest is directly made into bacon by the orcs, and only part of it is mixed with kudzu root and other grains for consumption on the day food.

In addition to land reclamation and planting, hunting and gathering, some of Austin's previous plans have gradually begun to show their effects.

For example, the mushroom house hosted by Finn the Stag can produce a large amount of mushrooms every day, so that the entire tribe can't consume it every day, but a large number of non-toxic mushrooms are dried and stored, and wait until the cold In winter, you can no longer take it out to try something new when the banyan forest spawns mushrooms.

Another example is the farming industry. Needless to say, the buffalo herds obtained after the captives broke through the Tauren tribe, hundreds of buffaloes are enough to feed the entire Dragon Nest tribe for more than half a month. Of course, the Dragon Nest orcs would not be so reckless. Now, the bison can not only speed up the speed of the Dragon Nest tribe's land reclamation, but also the cavalry after training can exert extremely powerful strength. Whether it is production, transportation or combat, the bison herd can play an extremely powerful role, unless It is because the wild cattle are sick or injured, old and frail, otherwise the orcs will not eat the wild cattle easily.

Although the bison can't move, but a certain size of wild boar herd can't be slaughtered.

Although the harvested kudzu vines and the leftovers from the orcs can be used as feed for wild boars in captivity, in order to save fodder in the cold winter, the dragon nest orcs still selected hundreds of wild boars for slaughter. The remaining [-] pigs will be used as breeding pigs for next year.

Of course, the hundreds of wild boars raised in captivity probably will not be slaughtered until after the cold winter begins, because now the entire Dragon Nest tribe is preparing for the arrival of the cold winter, and those who go out to hunt go out to hunt, collect, and harvest wasteland. Even the captives of the Blood Claw tribe began to increase the time for dispatching labor after a few days of simple training to develop a certain discipline, and even the time for military training and transformation has been reduced a lot , can only wait until the cold winter comes before proceeding to the next stage of rigorous training.

Moreover, if these hundreds of wild boars were kept in captivity and then slaughtered in the cold winter, when it was freezing and snowy, they could be frozen and kept fresh by throwing them outside, which was indeed extremely convenient.

In terms of captive livestock, in addition to bison and wild boars, there is also a large number of hares.

Under the management of the orcs, they live a comfortable life, have enough food, and don't have to worry about any sudden predators. As a result, the number of the entire hare herd explodes. There were only a few dozen hares in the past. It actually grew to thousands of wild rabbits. In the end, in order to imprison these guys, the orcs had to build several animal pens one after another to imprison all these hares.

Compared with the captive wild boar and bison, these captive hares may end up in a worse situation, because Pooh has already prepared to slaughter most of them when the cold winter comes, leaving only a small part as breeding rabbits.

Although the population of the Dragon Nest tribe has increased by 800 people, and the population suddenly exceeded the limit of 2000 people before the cold winter, but under the harvest of planting wasteland, going out for hunting and gathering, and raising livestock in captivity, the Dragon Nest orc tribe There was no "food shortage".

It can be predicted that if there are no other accidents in this cold winter, the food in the entire Dragon Nest tribe is enough to support the survival and development of the tribe for half a year, which has greatly exceeded the duration of the cold winter. It can be expected that this year's cold winter , the Dragon Nest tribe will no longer have to worry about famine.
