These creatures are about the size of goblins, and if they are not habitually curled up, they may be about 1.2 to 1.4 meters tall.

Beneath their tattered and thin clothing, which barely covers their bodies, is brown or brown fur that looks like large rats walking upright.

This is a group of Skaven people who are supposed to stay in the dark lair underground, but at this time, they are openly appearing on the surface in broad daylight, and there are quite a few of them.

They are all vassal races of stone, the rat cubs of the "Mickey Clan".

At first glance, there were at least a few thousand rat-men densely packed together, but the greenskins that passed by them all looked familiar, at most they were scared and frightened by their teeth and claws, and then let out a rude laugh.

So there is a scene in the "Iron Rock" that cannot exist anywhere else, the greenskin and the rat-man live together in the same city, and the latter is doing one thing, that is, farming.

Since the remnants of the "Clan of Kerks" were subdued through the system, the first problem facing the stone was to solve their food and clothing.

After so long, he, the boss, really didn't worry much about his subordinates eating, mainly because Greenskin didn't have this need at all, eating was purely a hobby and fun, not a physiological need, to say that the biggest foodie in the entire tribe was actually himself.

But the rat people are completely different, the rat eats as the sky, for them, the sky is big, and the belly is the biggest.

The special body structure makes these rat cubs particularly hungry, and their stomachs will be deflated after three or two clicks, and they will have no strength when they are hungry, and how can they work.

Not to mention that they can do anything to eat, it is simply not too much to hack each other, and it is not impossible to start a riot with red eyes when hungry.

In fact, most nezumi clans use infighting and warfare to consume excess populations and make up for food shortages.

But Stone couldn't do that, after all, he had kept these rat cubs in the first place, and not killed them all, because they were still useful, very, very useful.

Whether it's digging up huge veins of dimensional stone and iron ore that originally existed in the "Iron Rock", or digging tunnels, these rat people are needed.

In addition to mining, the value of both dimension stone and iron ore is there, and in addition to widening and strengthening the existing underground tunnel from "Iron Forge" to "Disney" to "Steel Rock", he will dig a new tunnel from "Steel Rock" to "Orgrimmar" in addition to widening and strengthening the existing underground tunnels from "Iron Forge" to "Iron Rock".

In this way, it is possible to solve the dilemma of two important strongholds that are close to each other in a straight line, but because they are separated by a large river, it is difficult to support each other, and greatly improve the communication within the territory.

These projects require a large number of nezumi to complete.

With them to do these high-risk jobs, not only save the tribe's valuable manpower, but also make it more efficient, after all, when it comes to burrowing and mining, the rat people should be the second race after the dwarf buttresses.

Now there are more than 30,000 rat people under the "Steel Rock", that is, more than 30,000 mouths, and he must find a way to fill their stomachs.

After occupying "Steel Rock" and "Disney", he immediately took out all the mushrooms he had accumulated from the warehouse, but fortunately, there was still a lot of stock, plus the corpses of the original dead ratmen, he barely survived the most difficult period at the beginning.

The key is to eat the rats that can eat very much, and the little yield in the mushroom field is simply not enough, so they must be self-reliant.

Like the average nezumi clan, the original "Nexus Clan" also had a large number of slave rats who were responsible for growing crops.

They grow a special crop that grows in dark, damp ground, a bit like beans that grow on vines, and doesn't need sunlight, but the yield is so low that it can't be compared to normal crops.

Anyway, it's all planting, so why not plant something with a high yield?

With a wave of his hand, Stone bought a large number of seeds for crops such as wheat and soybeans from "Fetanburg", as well as various professional farming tools, and handed them to his nezumi, allowing them to cultivate the ground to obtain more food.

In addition, he asked Rip to find out if there was any corn, potatoes or sweet potatoes that had an amazing yield per mu and could easily fill his stomach, if he could find these big killers, if nothing else, it would not be a problem to have several times more rat people.

It's just that there is no news yet, after all, the border prince's territory is not like other places, and commerce is not developed enough.

In addition, the stone also specifically emphasized that the children of the tribe should not go to these "farmer rats" who farm the land, so that they can work in peace, otherwise these timid rats will be scared to pee when they see the murderous orc men around them.

The bored boys can only occasionally use their fierce eyes to scare these obscene rat cubs to pass the time, which is also beneficial, at least no rat people dare to sneak and play tricks, all of them honestly farm in the arranged area, and they don't dare to run around.

Most of these rat people are gathered on the west side of the fortress, where the mushroom garden of the "Red Fang Tribe" was once located.

Although it had long been destroyed by war, the soil that remained was surprisingly fertile, suitable for growing crops, which was surprising to the extent that he designated nearly a quarter of the entire fortress as an agricultural area.

All the old, weak, sick and disabled people of the "Mickey Clan", as long as they are not suitable for heavy work, all go through the tunnels they dug when they used to steal mushrooms, come to the earth and see the light of day, pick up farm tools and become farmer rats.

With these farmlands, and the mushrooms that have multiplied the production of Orgrimmar, it is impossible for the "Disney" rat cubs to have enough to eat, but almost no one is starving.

However, even so, the system shows that the number of rat people in this vassal race is gradually decreasing, and in more than half a year, it has decreased by nearly 2,000 people.

The reason is simple, there are only dead and not alive.

Shi regretted more than once that he was too impulsive at the beginning, and directly killed a few female rats of the original "Nexus Clan", making his vassal race all singles, and there were no newborn rat people at all.

The lifespan of ordinary rat people is already short, and in addition to the fact that the entire clan is basically mining and burrowing underground except for one-third of the farmer rats, a proper high-risk occupation, it will be hung up accidentally.

Therefore, other nezumi clans are afraid that they will have too many people, but when it comes to the stone, it is the opposite, he needs more rat cubs.

For this reason, the new patriarch of the "Mickey Clan", Pesti Calamity, has made three trips to the far gate during this time, taking the dimension stone to the lair of the three rat clans closest to the territory.

In addition to purchasing various materials and equipment for conducting experiments, as well as the much-needed dimensional stone grinder, I also hope to meet someone selling female mice.

The nezumi clans have frequent infighting with each other, especially the small clans, if one side wins, captures the opponent's lair, and captures the opponent's female rat, it is possible to exchange it for other resources or dimensional stones, but this situation is hard to come by, and you can only try your luck.

In addition, the stone also gave Pesti a more important task, which was to use the vast underground empire network of the nezumi to find out the whereabouts of the light mage Egrem and the little bell, and the priority of this matter was even higher than buying a female rat.

The Black Orc Lord's exact words were:

"I don't care how many dimensional stones are spent, I just need one message."
