Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 35 Ways to Attract Population

Not long ago, when the orc captives were completely accepted into the Dragon Nest village system, the blue young dragon also made a political show, meeting and talking with every orc who joined.

I also learned that Quake, the fox-faced man, was a military advisor in the Lizardmen Tribe. Later, during the conversation with Quake, I inadvertently learned from him the current status of the bloody defense line on the edge of the Kava forest in the north. .

At that time, Austin felt that Quick should have some background, but since the fox-faced man didn't say anything, the blue young dragon didn't bother to ask.

Seeing Quick now, Austin suddenly remembered that Rodney seemed to be responsible for recruiting the small gathering tribe, and he must know how to gather the population, but he had inadvertently overlooked this point.

Thinking of this, Austin spread his membrane wings to fan the torrent, and flew out in the direction of Quick, the fox-masked man.

The movement of the orcs to open up wasteland and cut trees is not small, which is likely to attract those hungry beasts, so the characters of Quick and others are patrolling nearby to prevent the ferocious beasts from suddenly attacking and losing their hands.

Quick was leading three or two kobolds to guard and patrol nearby, when suddenly a cold wind blew up above his head, he thought it was a beast attack and panicked, but saw a huge shadow descending from the sky.

It was the blue dragon Austin, the lord of Dragon Nest Village.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Austin."

Several orcs bowed down to salute, obviously out of respect from the heart, and so did Quick.

For those simple-minded orcs such as kobolds, goblins, and lizardmen, since they joined Dragon's Nest Village, they can not only eat a full meal, but also eat a full meal from time to time. Life is getting better and better. With the success of the two conflicts and wars, it also established its higher and higher status in the hearts of the orcs.

Although they couldn't say anything, they respected, worshiped and supported Blue Young Dragon very much.

As for Quick, he saw something deeper. This blue young dragon was very different from other tribal leaders. He saw great potential for development from this simple dragon nest village.

That's why Quick, the fox-faced man, just revealed something before, hoping to get Austin's attention.

And now, he seems to have succeeded.

"You guys go to patrol first, Quick stay here, I have something to do with him."

The young blue dragon landed on the ground, retracted its wings, and said in a condescending voice.

"Yes!"

Several kobolds should be respectful, and then they left.

Looking at Quick respectfully standing in front of him, Austin went straight to the point:

"Quick, I heard that when Rodney established the tribe, you helped Zhang Luo plan it. Now I want to increase the population of Dragon Nest Village. What do you think should be done?"

In fact, Austin also instinctively felt that Quick, the fox-faced man, had some thoughts. He was not as pure as other orcs, and seemed to be better at exploiting.

No, it wasn't long before he got into the position of the leading squad leader here.

But it doesn't matter, as long as his heart is in Longchao Village and he doesn't do anything to betray him.

However, the orcs of different races have different natures. Now that there are few people, it is not obvious. In the future, the number of families will increase, and the types of orcs are complex. It is best to divide the management.

Such a thought suddenly flashed in Austin's mind.

But there is no rush now. Anyway, the unified management and unified work of military training is doing well for the time being, and there is no need for reform.

"Your Highness, if you want to increase the population, the best way is to annex other orc tribes."

Quick pondered for a moment, then replied.

"I went out to search before this, but apart from the wolf man tribe that defeated you, I haven't found any other gathering places. Why, do you have any clues about other nearby tribes?"

Since Quick answered in this way, Austin felt that he must have a plan in mind.

Sure enough, I heard Quick answer:
"Yes, as far as I know, there should be more than a dozen tribes within a hundred miles of the Dragon's Nest territory. If they can all be absorbed, forming a large tribe with a thousand people will not be a problem."

In a place like Kawa Forest with poor mountains and bad waters, there is a hill in the east and a hill in the west. Tribes, large and small, gather during the gathering period. However, in general, only two or thirty people gather together to keep warm. For Longchao Village, there is blue water. For the tribe where the young dragon sits, there is not much threat.

"How far is the nearest tribe, is it far?"

Austin was noncommittal. Regardless of the strength of the tribe, it is best to consider the distance if you want to merge.

"This... I remember that there are two or three tribes of goblin kobolds nearby, about ten or twenty people, but it was already a year ago when I met them, I don't know if they are migrating now or starving to death Disbanded, and apart from the few in memory, Jackal Village seems to be the closest to us."

"Very good, Quick, I'll give you a mission to contact the gobold kobold tribes you mentioned and see if you can absorb them. As for the kobold village, we'll talk about it later."

If you can't take the initiative to absorb it, then you will naturally defeat the plunder and come back as a prisoner.

Of course, whether it is taking the initiative to seek refuge or defeating and conquering, the threshold of military training is inevitable.

"Is there any other way besides this?"

Not long after the cold winter began, Austin once flew out to look for the nearby orc tribe, but in the end he found nothing except the wolf man tribe by accident.

Although the orc tribe basically stayed in their dens and rarely came out because of the cold winter, so it was difficult to find traces, but Austin didn't have much confidence in the few tribes that Quick talked about.

In a year's time, a small tribe with a dozen or twenty people like that would have perished long ago.

"If there is anything else, it is to recruit people by burning smoke, but the orcs recruited in this way are basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are very few strong orcs."

"Burning smoke attracts people? What is this?"

Austin was taken aback, apparently completely unimpressed with this method.

After careful questioning, Austin realized that the burning smoke to attract people was a unique method in the Kava Forest to gather stray orcs.

The so-called burning smoke is actually burning some wet wood at a high place to create a tall smoke column that people can see from a distance, which is actually similar to a coordinate lighthouse.

When the wandering orcs in the forest saw the smoke column, they knew that there was smoke there, and those wandering orcs who were desperate or hungry would gather in that direction and try their luck to see if the tribe there could accept them.
