"Who's that...... Gocos, you can tell me again about the reasons for the food shortage. ”

Stone stopped abruptly and turned to the shivering gopher man beside him.

It stands to reason that this rat clan has been living there for hundreds of years, and he doesn't have a little bit of pressure on how much food he has to consume in normal times, why did such a serious food crisis suddenly break out, there must be some accidents.

Although he had already said it before, when he heard the sturdy orc boss ask, Gorkos did not hesitate, and immediately told the little news he knew.

According to him, there are only two reasons for the food shortage of the "Clan of Kerks" this time.

The first is that the clan population is growing too fast and the food is consumed too quickly.

Although their patriarch has been consciously controlling the number of rat people in the clan, after hundreds of years of development, even if there is no explosive growth, due to the large base, the number of new rat people every year still exceeds expectations, and it has far exceeded the number of harvested food that can be supported.

This is also a common problem of all nezumi clans, and their reproduction rate is simply too fast.

If a female rat is born openly, she can give birth to five litters per year, each litter is about twenty rat cubs, which is a hundred in a year!

In just five years, newborn rat people can reach adulthood, and their lifespan is about twenty to thirty years, which means that as long as there is no interference from external factors, just one female mouse can give birth to about 2,000 young mice in a lifetime!

So for the nezumi, the biggest threat is never the enemy, but their own belly!

The patriarchs of the clan have long known about this problem, and normally if the rats under their command grow too fast, the only solution is to fight, to rob, no matter whether they win or lose, the crisis can be solved.

But the "Clan of Kerks" did not do this, they needed to accumulate strength to do great things, so they began to reduce the food supply of the low-level slave rats from a very early stage, and went to the greenskin tribes on the ground to steal food, and through these two methods, they have been sustained.

However, after a long time, something went wrong, and the root cause of the outbreak of this food crisis was that one of the clan's most important food sources, "Steel Rock", had an abnormal situation, causing them to be unable to go up to get food.

"The green-skinned tribe on our head, I don't know what's going on for a while now, there are a lot of greenskins around, and there are more and more of them, and now there are people patrolling the city every day, and the patriarch is afraid that they will find the underground lair, so the tunnel has been blocked since last week, and he can't go up to steal things."

Gorkos didn't dare to look directly at the stone, and said with a cowering glance.

"Wait, you said a lot more greenskins?"

The stone patted his head, and the rainbow cockscomb on it shook, "I know!" ”

He suddenly remembered the rumor he had heard before, saying that in the badlands to the south, a large number of greenskins were gathering, preparing to go north to fight those human shrimps, it seemed that their actions were very fast, and someone had already arrived at the "Steel Rock"!

Due to the appearance of a large number of Bretonnian knights in recent years, the green skins of many parts of the border prince's territory have disappeared, especially in the north, and it is difficult to see their green figures.

And with the gradual expansion of human power to the south, the position of "Steel Rock", which was originally on the front line of the battle between the two sides, became even more important.

This border prince's top green stronghold has been attacked by the Bretonnian army from the beginning, and it is besieged by the shrimp army every year, but because of the steep terrain, it has not been breached, and it has become a thorn in the side of the other party in recent years.

This is also the reason why the "Red Fang Tribe" has not come to trouble the stones, they have long been beaten by human shrimp and are exhausted and precarious, who still remember the small tribe on the other side of the river.

But now it seems that the greenskinned boss of that tribe is not entirely stupid, and he also knows how to find foreign help, and the stone is probably the news that he sent people to spread in the evil lands, deliberately attracting those aggressive greenskins to help him fight more against humans, otherwise they won't last long.

The more the stone thought about it, the more it made sense, it must be like this, otherwise so many green skins suddenly appeared from there.

"Lost! It's been like this for a long time, it's really a fairy fighting ghost, and we're going to be pitted first! ”

It turns out that the "Red Fang Tribe" is right, because the stone knows that the human shrimp under the border prince has formed a military alliance, and the target is very likely to be the "Steel Rock", if there are no green skins from other places, they alone will definitely not be able to resist the iron hooves of the human army.

Thinking about these clearly, Shi was depressed in his heart, he was going to hide next to watch a good show, but before the play started, his backyard caught fire first.

So the culprit of all this is the "Red Fang Tribe", don't you greenskins like to fight, then go and fight with those Bato knights, why coward, and go to find foreign aid, before the fight started, they made a lot of noise in their own territory, and scared the rat cubs below half to death, and they didn't dare to go up to steal mushrooms, so they had to dig holes next to it, and then ...... The stone is tragic here.

It was really a fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond.

The more Shi thought about it, the more angry he became, no, he couldn't let these green mushrooms stay out of the matter, it was obviously a mouse under their noses, why should Lao Tzu be bothered alone, no, no!

Just when the orc lord's heart was extremely manic, there was a commotion outside the door, and when he went out, he saw that the large army had returned from "Gakison".

The green-skinned kids, who had just arrived, didn't know what had happened, and were still talking about what had happened yesterday, whether it was a bloody rugby game or a fragrant burnt knife, it was enough for them to reminisce for a long time.

Seeing their heartless appearance, Stone became more and more irritable in his heart, and shouted loudly:

"Old rotten teeth! Skarsnik! And Moglu! Hurry up and get out of here! ”

In the face of the impending life-and-death crisis, he urgently needs to consult with someone, but unfortunately there are only two goblins in the entire tribe who have a little brain, Old Rotten Tooth and Skarsnik, and as for Mogru, don't forget, he was originally a member of the "Red Fang Tribe".

The three goblins walked into the stone house with a question mark on their heads, and as soon as they entered, the stone slammed the door shut, pointed to the slave rat in the corner, and said:

"There's trouble!"

Seeing the appearance of Gocos, they were also startled, there was such a sudden increase in the rat people in the tribe, and they hurriedly asked about the situation.

Naturally, the stone would not hide it from them, calling them to come was to discuss countermeasures, he first explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then told his own speculation about the current situation, basically except for things related to the system, everything else was clear.

After hearing this, the faces of the three of them all changed greatly, and they immediately discussed it word by word.

Seeing them like this, the stone finally felt a little more comfortable, and the reason why he came to them to discuss it alone was because the whole tribe was so green-skinned, and only they could realize the seriousness of the problem, and they really didn't let themselves down.

However, before the discussion could begin, Stone interrupted them and asked Mogru:

"Mogru, what do you think of me?"

The one-eyed goblin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the leader to ask himself this question at such a time, so he quickly straightened up and replied loudly:

"The boss doesn't have to say anything to me! One word, good! ”

Stone nodded and continued to ask:

"And what do you think of our tribe compared to your original tribe?"

"I love it here!" The Red Fang Tribe: "There aren't as many fun things as our tribe!" Also, you can not only fight, but also be so generous, even "Squigg the Hair" is willing to share it with the boys, I admire you! ”

Hearing his subordinates praise himself like this, a smile appeared on Shishi's always gloomy face, and he said with a smile:

"Haha, well said! I didn't misread you, you said that I was generous, then I won't be stingy, and Brother Mao is on top! Make my subordinate Moglu more aaaagh! Let's do it! ”
