Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 3 The Art of Management

Blood wolves, a large group of wild beasts swimming in the nearby forest, there are hundreds of them in number, and the leader of the blood wolves has already entered the category of low-level monsters.

A year ago, when Austin was out hunting, he almost fell into the mouth of the group of blood wolves. That was the most dangerous time in Austin's life, and he could never forget the group of blood wolves.

Over the past year, Austin has also encountered the group of blood wolves several times, but they were all forced to flee in embarrassment.

If you fight alone, let alone an ordinary blood wolf, even the leader of the low-level monster blood wolf, Austin is [-]% confident in wringing its neck off.

But it's a pity that every time the blood wolves are dispatched, they are in groups, and Austin can't fight them alone, which makes Austin's hatred for them increase day by day.

Moreover, the rampage of this group of blood wolves has seriously affected the nearby ecology, which forced Austin to find a way to get rid of them.

And these kobolds will become Austin's best soldiers against those beasts!

Of course, that is a kobold after military training.

Austin flew ahead, leading the group of kobolds to a more secretive cliff bottom.

This is a steep cliff, the straight cliff is shaded by trees, and there is a very secret cave hidden on the cliff hundreds of meters high. cave.

That is Austin's lair. Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking out, you can take in a large area of ​​green sea forest, and the scenery is very pleasant.

Those six or seven kobolds happily became Austin's first family members, and they built their new home at the foot of the cliff.

Time passed by in a flash, and soon ten days passed.

In the first few days, Austin didn't make any demands on the group of kobolds, and let them settle down by themselves.

This group of kobolds first found a lot of dry branches from the forest, and used those branches to build a simple wooden house on an ancient tree hundreds of meters high. If it rains, it is easy for the whole house to collapse and sink into the muddy water, making it impossible to live in.

Then thatch is spread on the top of the branches, and a temporary kennel is built, which looks like a messy nest growing on a tree.

Of course, this is just a transitional temporary house. If they can really settle down here, they will naturally build better ones in the future.

Under the simple settlement, Nina stood on tiptoe, struggling to help her mother hang the huge vines on the tree to dry.

These things were collected by Austin's order. Although these kobolds don't know why Lord Blue Dragon collected these things, as the boss of the kobolds, they can do whatever they want.

For the only order Master Long has given so far, the kobolds have done a good job. When they went out to collect supplies, they deliberately brought back the old vines on the road.

"Mom, will we live here forever?"

After separating the crossed vines, Nina's small hands suddenly slowed down, and she asked her mother in a low voice.

"Well, Nina?"

The kobold mother turned her head inexplicably, and found that Nina was also looking over, her eyes were serious and said:
"Mom, I like this place, shall we stay with Lord Long forever?"

Since Austin can regularly clear the relationship between predators within a radius of one or two kilometers, the nearby food is very rich, various fruits, and many small herbivores. Every time the kobold leader leads the tribe out, it is full of rewards.

Although according to the customary rules of Seta Continent, at least [-]% of the harvest of the family members in the lord's territory must be handed over to the lord, but even if it is the remaining [-]%, these harvests are much better than their life when they were wandering. times.

Austin did not refuse the sensible harvest of the kobolds, even though the harvest turned in by the kobolds was dispensable to him, even if the group of kobolds handed over [-]% of the harvest and used the remaining [-]% ​​to survive. Struggling, but Austin still accepted.

Because it is related to an art of management.

In his previous life, Austin had heard of a classic case.

Two start-up companies, one offers a monthly salary of [-] yuan when recruiting employees. Since this salary is higher than the average level of [-] yuan, the employees are very grateful to the boss at the beginning, and will work very hard. After one year, the salary does not increase at all. Although the employees are still satisfied, they are not so grateful anymore. Two years later, due to operational problems, the company decided to reduce the salary of the employees to [-]. The monthly salary of [-] is still far above the market average.

When another start-up company recruited employees, it only offered a monthly salary of [-], but the difference was that the company raised the salary every six months. The employees were very grateful to the company. Two years later, the employee's salary was raised to [-]. When the company encountered operational difficulties, the employees worked together and worked hard for the company to get out of the predicament.

The same two years, the same monthly salary, the same difficulties, but the situation between the two is very different, this is the art of management.

The same is true for the moment. Austin can directly reject the "taxes" that he despises, but this will plant a nail in his future rule.

Of course, for the kobolds, they don't know what Lord Blue Dragon thinks.

Even secretly, he is grateful to Austin, and very glad that he and others have met this extremely kind Lord Blue Dragon.

According to the customary rules of Seta Continent, they have to hand over at least [-]% of the harvest, but in other places it is more than [-]% or even [-]%.

As far as the orc tribe where their group of kobolds used to live, everything they harvested in the territory must be handed over to the leader of the tribe.

In contrast, Master Austin is simply God the Father alive, and God specially sent to save them as an envoy.

"Nina doesn't want to eat those bitter and astringent bark, she doesn't want to eat those tree barks, and she doesn't want to sleep on those cold and wet haystacks."

Nina looked at her mother timidly and said in a low voice.

For Nina, the life of these few days was a happy life that she had never had since she could remember, it was like a dream.

It turns out that living in a house is so comfortable, it turns out that it feels like filling your stomach, and it turns out that the most delicious thing in this world is not bones, but also the thing called meat
For as long as she could remember, they had been on the run, living an empty, precarious life.

Nina doesn't know what a family is, and she doesn't know what a family relationship means. She just doesn't want to go back to the past, and hopes that this kind of life can continue forever.

"Nina."

The kobold mother bent down, hugged Nina in her arms, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything, and her voice became a little choked.

The days went by slowly and without any conflicts or wars.

With enough food and clothing, the dog-headed crowd began to grow stronger after nearly a month of recuperation, and they were no longer the scrawny appearance a month ago.

And after the group of kobolds recovered, Austin started his military training plan.
