Chapter 15: Stone Horns and Blazing Mane
The Minotaurs warmly welcomed the mission, and at the banquet Lyral and the Minotaurs inquired about the origin of the Minotaurs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The chieftain of the minotaurs gave them the answer.
"We are the Shijiao Clan, a small clan living in the western part of the prairie. Our clan likes to hang stone ornaments on the corners, hence the name. ”
"When the demons came, our clan was attacked, and we resisted, but to no avail. Fortunately, the demon suddenly gave up the attack, and we escaped. We moved here to escape another attack from the demons. ”
"Then the earth shook violently, and the whole prairie was flooded. Many minotaurs have fled to Mogaolei, and we have helped some of the minotaurs, but there are so many people who have fled that we can't help them. ”
"Some of the minotaurs began to climb over the mountains to the west and went to the other side, where it was said that there was more food. But as time went on, the stench of decay in the savannah continued to erode the area, and our food became scarcer, and more and more minotaurs went there. ”
"We also want to go over, but it's too dangerous to climb over the mountains, many old and young people need to give up, except as a last resort, we will not give up the old people and Lakers children."
Lylar stood up and said to Chief Stonehorn, "We are from the Thunder Bluff of the North. Now the lord of Thunder Bluff is a hero who fights demons with the demigod Agamagan, and is entrusted by Agamagan to take care of the people it shelters. ”
"So, Lord Castle sent us to check on the creatures of Mogore. Since your life is difficult, it is better to go to the Northern Thunder Cliffs, where the city lord will provide you with protection and food. ”
"There is no such thing as a gratuitous benefit, what do we need to give?" Chief Stonehorn is false when he says he is not impressed.
Now the Shijiao clan has hundreds of elderly minotaurs and small minotaurs who cannot work, but the labor force is only a few dozen, and the food they get is not much to eat. If this continues, sooner or later there will be problems, and not everyone will starve to death, so you need to give up the old and the young.
Neither of these situations is what the Shijiao clan wants to see, and taking refuge in Lu Zhongli is one of the few options that the Shijiao chief has. But the first time he came into contact with Lu Zhongli, Chief Shijiao had to keep an extra eye.
"Most of the remuneration has already been paid by the demigod Agamagan, you only need to do two things. The first is to obey the arrangement, now Thunder Cliff is short of manpower, so the labor is all designated, as long as you work according to the order. ”
"The second point is military service, there are generally two kinds of military service, it has always been garrison military service, and it is necessary to garrison some areas. The second is expeditionary military service, which definitely requires going to other places to fight. ”
"As for the specific situation, we can discuss it in detail."
The situation of the Shijiao clan is really not optimistic, relying on the previous savings to survive for a few years, and now it finally can't hold on. The animals in the vicinity were also on the verge of extinction, and if there was no new source of food, they would have to leave the area.
So when Lylar told them something about Thunder Cliff in detail, Chief Stonehorn immediately decided to move his clan to Thunder Cliff.
After saying that the Stonehorn Clan was moved, Lylar continued to set off with the mission, leaving one Minotaur as a guide, and the other two Minotaurs and the Boar Man continued to follow him.
Chief Stonehorn gave Lelar a place to stay for the boar people, just west of the lake, where there was a small valley inhabited by quite a few boar people.
Lylar immediately led the mission to visit the Blazing-Maned Boar people here.
The life of the boar people is much worse than that of the minotaurs, and it has to do with their nature. Wild boars are lazier than other sapient creatures, and spend nearly half of the day sleeping, possibly due to the habits of Agamagan.
However, this habit is also the key to the survival of this group of wild boar people. There were only more than thirty of these wild boar people, and they all ran over from the prairie, and the whole prairie ran over these wild boar people.
Their ability to obtain food is not comparable to that of the Minotaur, they cannot hunt the Minotaur, and they cannot farm the Minotaur. Hunting and farming did not provide enough food for them, but only the Stone Horn clan had food nearby.
It's not that the wild boar people didn't want to grab some food, but they couldn't beat the minotaur, and they had the courage to fight the minotaur every day. Without the protection of Agamagan, the boar people lost their backbone and became timid and fearful.
The wild boar people relied on sleep to reduce their consumption, and they survived to this day.
When Lyral learned from the wild boar population that they had survived the famine in such a strange way, he didn't know what to say. But I can't complain about the boar people, and now it is possible or good, and it is understandable to use any way.
The food on the Thunder Cliff is barely balanced now, and when he first arrived at the Thunder Cliff, he still needs to rely on the food that Lu Zhongli has accumulated for a thousand years.
For a thousand years, there was still a small half of the food that Lu Zhongli had accumulated when he expelled the demons. Except for a few left for the Night Elves, they were all taken to Thunder Bluff.
When the wild boar people heard that Thunder Cliff could feed them, they immediately agreed to go to Thunder Cliff, and did not ask about other conditions. Unlike the Minotaurs, they have no roads, and if they don't go to Thunder Cliff, they will basically starve to death, as long as they can eat enough and let them do anything.
These boar people belong to the Blazing Mane Clan, which is a relatively rare clan of wild boar people. They originally lived at the foot of the Black Thorn Mountain, halfway between the savannah and Mogaolei, and had little contact with the outside world. They didn't know that the demons had invaded here, but they knew that Agamagan was dead, and they didn't know how he died.
In order to find the cause of Agamagan's death, the Strongmane Clan sent some people to Agamagan's lair to investigate. But a sudden flood flooded the residence of the Strongmane Clan, and the Strongmane Clan ran out of them, and the others were swept away by the flood.
After finding these minotaurs and boar people, Lelar had nothing to gain. However, it can still be surmised that all the creatures of Mogaolei are basically near Thunder Bluff.
The increase of hundreds of minotaurs and more than thirty boar people suddenly made the outpost a lot more lively. With people occupied, the farms around the outpost began to grow food in earnest.
Lu Zhongli has accumulated a lot of grain seeds over the years, including wheat, cabbage, and pumpkin seeds. In addition, the deer people presided over the farm, and Lu Zhongli did not manage the operation of the farm.
Lu Zhongli didn't agree to these people to live on Thunder Cliff at the first time, they needed to go through some tests before they could get the qualification to live on Thunder Cliff.
