Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 36
In this Kava forest, the orc tribes living here basically have a certain range of activities, and as the population grows, once the number of tribes exceeds the tolerable level, some of them will be automatically diverted. of the tribal population, and let them wander to other places to make a living.

These orcs, either the old, the weak, the sick, or the strong team, formed a large number of wandering people wandering in the Kawa forest.

Under normal circumstances, these scattered people will start to disappear in a corner of the big forest after struggling outside for a period of time, or become food in the mouth of wild beasts, or starve to death beside the puddles, or eat poisonous fruits and fall to the ground. Next to the trees become fertilizer.

Only a very few lucky people will find a suitable land to settle down and start to multiply and survive, or be accepted by other orc tribes and become one of them.

Ignite the fire and burn the sky-high fireworks, attracting the lighthouse coordinates of these wandering orcs wandering around the forest.

Because the thick smoke produced naturally is very different from the thick smoke produced by the intelligent humanoid ignition, the orcs in the distance see the smoke column, and naturally know that there are traces of orc activities in that place.

It is said that at the very beginning, the wandering orcs were hungry and cold, and when they saw fireworks in the distance, they would automatically walk in the direction of the rising fireworks, because that represented where the orc tribes were located. , if you are lucky, you might be able to find life there.

Later, some large tribes would burn a smoky fire in front of the door when there was enough food and people were short of people, so that the wandering orcs in the distance could see it and let them come and seek refuge.

After many years of evolution, this unique way of recruiting people has gradually formed in the Kava Forest.

"It's just that if you use this method, you will make too much noise, and it will be easily discovered by hostile tribal forces, which will cause danger."

Speaking of this, Quick glanced at Austin without missing a trace, and didn't say anything further.

Obviously, if this method is used to attract people, then Dragon Nest Village will be easily discovered by the wolf man tribe not far away, thus attracting danger.

"You don't have to worry about the Gnoll tribe, just let it go."

As for that tribe of gnolls, even if the leader of gnolls is a bronze-level extraordinary professional, Austin is certain to destroy them if he pays enough.

After devouring the leader of the blood wolf, he was now more than twice as strong as before.

If those Gnoll villages didn't have sharp enough iron weapons, they might not even be able to break through his defenses, and only the Gnoll leader could threaten him to a certain extent.

In contrast to this strength, if the wolf men really dared to attack, Austin's strength and his subordinates would be enough to swallow this group of wolf men.

"If they really come here to make trouble, they will be swallowed up sooner or later anyway, so it's better to do it in advance."

Austin, who has been promoted again, no longer has the fear of the wolf man tribe.

And if enough people could be recruited within this period of time, even if the wolf man tribe didn't come to attack, he would lead a team to annex and attack them.

"Yes, Your Highness Austin."

Regarding the decision of the lord Blue Young Dragon, Quick the Fox Face has nothing to do with it.

So that day, with the joint efforts of the orcs, they cut down the surrounding trees on a higher hill not far away, and used mud to create a smoke tower similar to a blast furnace.

The idea of ​​the smoke tower was proposed by Austin. Originally, Quick just planned to light dry firewood inside, and then pile wet thatch leaves and branches on top to create the effect of thick smoke, but Austin felt that this was too inefficient, and he deliberately In the future, I plan to open a blast furnace for copper smelting, so I made such a blast furnace.

The role of this blast furnace is to burn wet wood to produce thick smoke, and also to produce qualified charcoal fire.

And during this period, the blue young dragon also remembered that in the ancient times in the previous life, the army used wolf smoke to send messages, so he ordered people to go to the deserted blood wolf lair to bring back wolf dung, and put some wolf dung on the stove when he lit the smoke stove. Putting it in will increase the level of thick smoke, so that the smoke column can be seen from farther away.

After several days of busy work, the first fire was finally lit in the blast furnace,

The cold wind was not strong that day, so huge thick smoke rose into the sky. Even if you look up in the forest more than ten miles away, you can see the spectacular smoke column.

"Hope this goes well."

Looking at the two to three meter high blast furnace that took a lot of effort to build in front of him, Austin secretly said in his heart.

Once everything is done, just send someone to wait in peace.

During this period of time, many tribes are estimated to have entered a food shortage, and it is estimated that many orcs left the tribe under the pressure of hunger to find food in the ice and snow.

If there were no other adventures, those orcs who were driven out would either freeze to death or starve to death, and none of them survived the cold winter.

And this smoke column will be a beacon of life for those wandering orcs who are suffering from hunger and cold. They will not worry about no orcs coming, but the quality of orcs that can be recruited in this way will not be too high. Skinny old, weak, sick and disabled, and if there are too many orcs coming, the food in the Dragon Nest tribe may also encounter certain problems.

Quake, the fox-faced man, didn't really agree with this method of recruiting people, but this was a decision made by the lord Austin, and he would naturally obey.

The location of the dragon's lair that Austin chose was indeed remote. Although during the two years when he was growing up, he did encounter stray orcs when he went out hunting, but at that time he was still in the stage of struggling to survive, so he ignored them. , and the only ones who have really been close to his dragon's nest in the past two years are the kobold Pooh and a group of people.

As for Rodney's group of homeless dogs, they were attracted by the smell of kobolds fishing, which is enough to witness Austin's tricky choice of nesting location.

Although this provided the young blue dragon with a good development environment, it also prevented the subordinate families from absorbing the population and expanding their strength.

No, on the first day when the smoke column rose, it attracted the wandering orcs wandering in the Kawa Great Forest.
