Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"The grass for the two tents is gone. How long can the remaining grass last?" Elsa glanced at the food on the tray and asked. It was boiled mutton again. I'm afraid there is very little salt this time.

"There are more than a thousand sheep that will not survive the spring." The maid lowered her head and said.

"A thousand sheep." Elsa was stunned, and put down the knife she had just picked up. Originally, the consumption of mutton was estimated, and the pasture preparations were similar.

The extra 1,000 sheep could have been kept until the beginning of spring, but now there is not enough pasture to survive the winter. Such a loss is too great.

"Your Highness, why don't you let everyone kill these thousand sheep and store them?" the maid suggested.

"Order to kill the sheep tomorrow, and treat it as an extra meal for everyone." Elsa said helplessly.

"Yes." The maid replied respectfully.

"Is there any frozen vegetables?" Elsa looked at the mutton on the plate, and if she ate any more, she would feel the smell of sheep on her body.

"There is still one meal left." The maid whispered.

"The last meal?" Elsa blinked her golden eyes.

"Yes, there is only one frozen vegetable left." The maid did not dare to look at the princess' pitiful eyes.

"Take, take half... No, take a third." Elsa said emotionally, the lion's ears fell down, and the lion's tail drooped listlessly.

"Okay." The maid hurriedly walked outside. She felt that Her Highness the Princess was too pitiful. She had to eat a frozen vegetable three times, and she probably didn't even have a bite.

"Tsk tsk..."

Elsa cut off a piece of mutton with a knife, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it, carefully feeling the salty taste in the mutton, well, there is no salty taste at all.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The maid had snowflakes on her head, and she held a wooden bowl in her hand, which contained small pieces of frozen vegetables, that is, wild vegetables.

"Your Highness, would you like me to send someone to dig some grass roots out of the snow?" The maid put down the frozen vegetables and asked in a low voice, "Some grass roots are also delicious."

"No, no need." Elsa shook her head, resisting the desire in her heart, stretched out her hand to pinch a small piece of frozen vegetable and stuffed it into her mouth, then cut off a large piece of mutton and stuffed it into her mouth, and began to chew on the frozen vegetable.

The maid looked at Her Royal Highness's expression of squinting and enjoying, and her eyes turned red. The big princess, who used to have no worries about food and clothing, was now happy because of a small slice of frozen vegetables.

"Is there no salt in our tribe?" Elsa asked while chewing, flicking her lion's tail.

"Yes, there is only a little left in our kitchen." The maid answered in a low voice.

"What's everyone's reaction?" Elsa opened her eyes and asked, her back straightened, which instantly made the maid feel pressured.

"Not much reaction, just complaining about the lack of taste of the meat." The maid replied immediately.

"There is no trouble, right?" Elsa raised her eyebrows and asked. She knew the consequences of not having salt. Maybe there would be no big troubles, but there must be a lot of small troubles.

"A few of them got into a fight." The maid said softly.

"Really? Next time something like this happens again, lock them up, starve him for three days and then release him..." Elsa said indifferently, some of them ate and made trouble, she will not be soft-hearted, compared to still in the human country My compatriots who fled and starved, they are already living a good life.

"Yes." The maid said seriously.

"If you use weapons, drive them out of the tribe and let them survive on their own." Elsa said coldly. She is not a soft-hearted person, otherwise she would not be able to suppress a tribe of 30,000 orcs.

"Understood." The maid bowed her head and replied.

"Is there no human caravan coming over now?" Elsa asked while cutting the mutton, cutting one knife after another.

"Yes, the caravans are bypassing this area." The maid pursed her lips and said helplessly, "Those caravans have heard someone speak ill of us and think we will rob them."

"Rooting?" Elsa frowned, and her golden eyes looked at the knife in her hand. She was not a pedantic person, so she went to rob if she couldn't.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the tent, causing Elsa's golden eyes to condense slightly. Could it be that the subordinates have made some mess again?

"Your Royal Highness, there is a human caravan outside the tribe asking to see us, and the leader is the Lord of Blackwater who had a deal with us before." The orc knight shouted from outside the tent.

"What? Human race caravan?" Elsa's golden eyes widened. She just read about human race caravan, but now a human race caravan is coming?

"Yes, it's a big caravan with more than a hundred people." The orc knight reported.

"Master Spencer of Blackwater City?" Elsa frowned. She had an impression of this person. He was one of the few human races who traded with her tribe, but the number was too small. Compared with the base of the entire tribe, it was so small that it could be ignored.

Now she is bringing a large caravan. Could it be that she is here to introduce business? She quickly shouted to the knight outside the door, "Take them to the living room."

"Yes." The knight replied respectfully, turned around and trotted away.

"Get ready, I'm going to meet them." Elsa stood up, preparing to pretend that she could not reveal her identity as the orc princess.

"Yes." The maid answered quickly.

Chapter 0451 negotiations on.

Outside the orc tribe, Niu Wu and Spencer looked at the orc knights guarding in front of them, waiting in the snowstorm for the orc knights who went in to report.

The sharp-eyed Niu Wu carefully observed the equipment of the orc knights, the armor, swords and spears on their bodies, and quickly noticed something strange.

He found that many of the armor of the orc knights were rusty, and most of them were wearing leather armor. You must know that the equipment of the gatekeeper knights should be the best batch. He guessed that the living standard of the orc tribe in front of him should not be very good.

This kind of discovery gave Niu Wu more confidence in the negotiation. As long as the other party's life is poor, it means that the temptation of the goods he brought is big enough, and it is easier to complete what the young master told him.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

There was the sound of hurried footsteps, and the orc knight who was reporting ran over quickly, came to the gate, and said politely to Niu Wu and Binser, "Please send the caravan to the living room."

"Okay." Spencer nodded, met Niu Wu's eyes, and followed the orc knights. Behind them were five veterans in full armor, and the others stayed behind to guard the goods.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

Soon, Niu Wu and Spencer followed the orc knights to the living room. The orc tribe's living room is a huge sheepskin tent. It is usually the place where Elsa convenes the orc knights to discuss. It can also be regarded as the tribe's meeting hall.

There was a row of chairs in the living room. Niu Wu found the chair and sat down. He turned his head and glanced at the door of the living room, and found that there were more than a dozen orc knights on guard. This orc tribe was very vigilant.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

After a short while, footsteps sounded outside the living room, and a man in full armor walked in with a maid, well, except for his eyes, other features were invisible, wrapped in a long animal skin robe, his face The top is covered with sackcloth, and the head is covered with a helmet.

On the other hand, the maid next to him, Niu Wu, recognized him as a goat orc, but he didn't have any other information, not even knowing whether he was a man or a woman.

"I've met the leader." Spencer immediately got up and saluted as a nobleman, and Niu Wu also stood up and saluted. The orc tribe with tens of thousands of people couldn't tolerate him being careless, even though it was the first time he met the leader of the orc tribe.

"Sit down." Elsa waved her hand indifferently, her golden eyes scanned the people in front of her, and paused on several well-equipped human knights.

Niu Wu and Spencer looked at each other, and they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that the leader of this orc tribe was actually a woman.
