Chapter 1404: Chapter 1401: Too Many Casualties
The orcs looked at each other, collecting dung?
Seeing their confusion, Ji Nuan pointed with a smile to the heated kang inside the house: "Everyone can see, heating the kang requires burning firewood, but we have very little wood here, and it’s difficult to collect.
However, dried black cow and black horse dung is excellent fuel. If we collect more, our kang can always be warm."
The orcs’ eyes lit up instantly: "Don’t worry, whenever we go out hunting, we will definitely bring back any dung we encounter."
Without enough branches, Ji Nuan taught the tribespeople to weave baskets with grass. Otherwise, even if dung was found, there would be no tool to carry it back.
Currently, the South Watson Tribe base was bustling, green mud bricks were fired and partially ready, under Xiu Yan’s help, the orcs started building tall walls.
Meanwhile, the Ancient Wood Tribe and Black Mountain Tribe had already been at war several times, with heavy losses on both sides.
However, because the Ancient Wood Tribe had allied with nearby small and medium tribes, they had the upper hand in battles.
The Black Mountain Tribe also realized what the Ancient Wood Tribe was doing.
The Black Mountain Tribe’s territory was originally on the edge of the great mountain range, so they were the first to know about the mountain collapse.
But being under the mountain, many of their tribespeople perished.
Previously, a squad was sent to kill orcs from small and medium tribes to reduce the ones the Ancient Wood Tribe might rally after the war began.
But now that the plan has been exposed, retreat isn’t really an option.
"Clan Leader, since the Ancient Wood Tribe has organized the small and medium tribes, we can also organize the small and medium tribes in the mountains to fight, using them as front runners to greatly reduce our casualties."
"Yes, Clan Leader, with the heavy casualties from this battle, if we continue like this, and those small and medium tribes find out, our great tribe’s status is very precarious."
In the Clan Leader’s cave, the hunting team leaders were all talking at once, all discussing the lack of tribespeople and high casualties, while the middle-aged orc sitting at the main seat had a very grim expression.
"If we organize the small and medium tribes in the mountains, we will have to divide the territories of the Ancient Wood Mountain Forest that we gain among them. How do you think it should be divided?"
The Clan Leader’s voice carried a hint of coldness in the cave, causing several orcs to immediately fall silent.
Their eyes were full of disdain and contempt: "We’ve captured so much, just let them help a bit, no need to divide the territory, just give them a little food, isn’t that enough?"
A voice full of contempt for the small and medium tribes spoke slowly.
The Clan Leader was amused by this: "Ada sees a prey and asks you to catch it, but then Ada says the prey belongs to him and gives you only a hair of it, would you be willing?"
The orc who spoke just now instantly erupted: "Why should I, it’s me who caught it!"
The Clan Leader at the head sat up, coldly laughed at this dung-for-brains orc: "You wouldn’t even agree to a single prey, let alone the small and medium tribes facing such a large territory."
Refuted by the Clan Leader and left speechless, the orc sheepishly huddled in a corner, saying nothing more.
Only then did the Clan Leader look at the orcs below: "The orcs of the small and medium tribes must be organized, but we need to consider carefully what kind of rewards to offer them."
