Chapter 253: The Ogre's Ambition
The Ogre tribe of more than 300 people is naturally different from the original seventeen. Today's tribes, the Roths and wild boars raised in the pens are the main sources of food.
Although there are still more than a dozen hunting parties going deep into the Chult jungle to hunt, obtaining food is only one of the main tasks of the hunting team.
They also need to scout the herd, investigate the species resources in the area of responsibility, or spy on the nearby dinosaur community to find new forests for the Rossmon.
And the changes in the tribal camps are even more striking.
Now the ogre tribe has a stable mate relationship, and the newborn ogre has been taken care of more as a result.
These mates generally live in simple caves carved out by hand.
And those who are single, sometimes because they are lazy, will also sleep directly outside.
The cave wasn't that important to their strong bodies.
In addition to the rows of pens and caves, the camp now has a large clearing where the tribe's sacrifices teach.
How to say, the sacrifices of this tribe are simply generations of sages, and they do not forget to vigorously spread educational knowledge while trying to find supernatural powers.
Although this behavior made it difficult for the tribe to produce primitive worship, so that the sacrifice never sensed the ancestral spirit or formed a totem, it also greatly improved the civilization of the tribe.
Those ogres who don't go to Luohu to play in the water and take a bath by the way may be proof of this.
True, the ogres learned not only to bathe, but also to sew animal skins.
Even compared to them hundreds of years ago, ogres are taller now, but they are not as strong as they used to be.
In other words, the ogre now looks more slender.
However, almost no one notices this change, and they do not yet have a clear and accurate way of keeping accounts.
Even with the unremitting efforts of the priests, they only formed a simple language system.
"Sacrifice, do you think the current tribe should continue to expand its sphere of influence, or should it be slowed down?" The leader of the ogres asked the priest who was sitting next to him.
"A while ago, although the hunting teams sent back news that the area was in good condition, there were still too few ogres in the tribe now.
Even with the current sphere of influence, we can't take care of it.
I think it's better to take a break for a while. The two-headed priest said.
"But if there is no food source, how can the population be expanded?" Another ogre said.
"The newly explored territory is more well-fed, can feed more Rossmon, and can feed more ogres."
"Well, it's not difficult to keep Rosemon in captivity right now. We set up breeding sites at several locations in the survey.
Five ogres in a colony can raise at least 30 Rusmon, so that they can not only feed themselves, but also supply a batch of meat for the camp.
If there are more people in the future, you can directly expand your base. The leader's words won the unanimous approval of the ogres present.
Thus, a simple conversation set the direction of the tribe's next development.
Ten new colonies were established around the camp in accordance with the previous detection range of the hunting party.
To the northeast of the camp is Luohu, and to the southeast is the Flame Peak, where the little girl is.
Farther northeast, the Aurang River. To the northwest is the River Tes.
The establishment of the stronghold has eased the food pressure on the tribe, and this method has proved to be very effective.
So the entire ogre tribe began to expand with the help of this method.
They divided their strongholds into three grades.
There are only five people in the first grade, and it is just a tentative stronghold, depending on the richness of resources near the stronghold.
The second level can accommodate up to thirty people. This was a big ogre tribe in the past, but now it's a little insufficient, and this grade will still not be equipped with a resident sacrifice.
When it reaches the third level, there will be a camp with less than 100 people, and there will be a camp leader, and there will also be a special sacrifice.
Originally, the appearance of the sub-camp sacrifice made the little girl quite excited, but who would have thought that the sub-camp sacrifice was actually designated by the leader of the entire tribe.
This made the little girl's desire to watch a good show frustrated.
By the time the War of the Crowns was over, the ogre tribes of the Chultan Peninsula were already quite spectacular.
The camp on the shores of Luohu Lake has expanded to more than 500 people. There are also eight camps with a hundred people, and there are twenty or thirty camps with about 30 people, and as for the strongholds of five people, I don't know how many there are.
"Sacrifice, how many ogres are there in each camp this year, how many can write, how many can spell fire, and how many two-headed ogres are there?" The leader of the two heads asked.
At this time, thirteen ogres were sitting and talking in a rather spacious cave, with fruit in the middle.
Of the thirteen ogres, eight were the heads of the hundred-man camp, one was the head of the hunting party, and two were the stewards of the camp, who usually served as assistants to the chief.
"According to this year's statistics, we have a total of 2,547 ogres and 34 newborn ogres. The number of ogres who died this year due to aging, hunting, fighting, or accidents was also 34. The priest shook his head.
Ogres are not easy to give birth, and sometimes they don't conceive one a year, which is still a height reached under the condition that ogres no longer have obvious estrus.
"Now in the entire tribe, there are 435 people who have learned to write simply, and 41 people who can use spell fire to heal.
Counting the two-headed ogre who was born this year and you, there are a total of seven two-headed ogres in the tribe. The priest finished answering the chief's question.
"How's the environment around the jungle detected?" The leader asked the hunting captain instead.
"The western side of the land has been explored, and the main body is still the jungle, but there are three days of rivers, a hill, and two mountains in the west.
The south side is home to a lot of kobolds, and the north side is much harsher.
We crossed between two mountain ranges and found that further west was the sea.
To the east, it has already left the jungle and entered the plains. The farthest reaches are narrow, with the sea on both sides.
Further east, we haven't had time to explore. There were no strongholds in the area, and the food was not very sufficient, so it would take more than half a year for a hunting party to explore once. Said the hunting captain.
Then the two-headed ogre leader asked the eight more leaders of the hundred-man camp.
After some inquiries and discussions, a day passed.
However, this does not affect the meeting of the ogres.
"So there are three main things we need to do.
The first is the construction of the camp. The current camp is still the foundation laid by the original migration, and it is no longer enough.
Next, we headed northwest of the camp and built a large, solid camp in the middle of the lake and the river.
The second is to continue to expand the strongholds and sub-camps, and there are not many threats to us in the vicinity.
As long as there are enough people, we will expand outward, and try to make the west of the continent our sphere of influence.
In this case, on the east side of the mountain range where the kobolds are located, we must have one of our hunting parties to prevent the kobolds from harassing our camp stronghold.
In addition, the sacrifice should try to make the ogres know some simple words as much as possible, otherwise they will not be able to read the things on the slate, let alone learn the spell fire.
Don't they like to listen to stories, so use stories to teach them to read? "The leader of the two-headed ogre is going to do everything one by one.
"I don't know when we ogres will be able to make this jungle a camp for ogres."
At about the same time, the Djinn Carlin arrived from the other plane with his servants and servants and thousands of human slaves, establishing the Karlin Empire in the Port Carlin region.
