Chapter 17: Winter Wolf Cubs

People from modern society may be able to accept and even look forward to the rotten life of feudalism, but slavery is somewhat unacceptable, especially when the slaves are basically their own real race.

Although seventy percent of the orcs in the steppe start are of various subspecies, they don't really intend to see themselves as another race.

Therefore, there is a big premise for the Star People to voluntarily support and support the Golden Gradation - he must not be a dictatorial racist, and must treat all races as equal citizens as much as possible.

"The new realm is underpopulated and labored, and material support from the Star Folk may not come immediately, so I propose to restore all slaves to free citizenship so that they have more incentive to build their territory."

In any case, slavery was a minefield for them.

In modern society, it's okay to be used as a cow and horse by vampires, but when you come to another world, you have to see your own race enslaved by other races?

This is unbearable, this must give them a taste of the iron fist of feudalism!

"I've thought about what you've said, and in fact, I don't like the enslavement of humans either."

Chen immediately understood, don't look at Jin Qila, he looks like a werewolf druid who has pinched himself into an Arras pig, but after all, he is a human being.

"My territory is a place where everyone can live in stability, where humans can befriend orcs, elves can compete with dwarves, gnomes can discuss the art of explosions with goblins, succubi and tiflin can take legal jobs, and even halflings can find a suitable place to stay."

It is a peaceful, stable place where anyone can regard it as a writer, and it is also a place where Chen Zhou can be used as a national first-class protected waste.

It sounds like a fantasy, but it's actually a goal that is destined to be unattainable, but there must be a hope.

Chen, who has been on the move since the crossing, feels that this world does lack such a country without strife.

"Jin gradually ...... Baron Chen, do you really think so? ”

Kim was shocked by the scene depicted by the other party.

Not because of what a great idea it is, but in these dark times, there are people who are willing to create such a territory!

It's a golden legend!

Compared with those aristocrats who levied taxes in 135 and created people in 246, who had a party on Sunday nights and did not treat commoners as human beings at all, such a slightly democratic baron was indeed worthy of the investment of the people of the stars.

"Why do you need slaves when there are undead beasts?"

"But it's not appropriate to grant the status of a freeman all at once."

Jin Qila nodded again and again, understanding, he also had to take care of the views of the Jin gradation clan, and it was impossible to take too many steps.

"Well, go back and set up an organization with the rest of the Star Folk to monitor the progress of slave work, and every day or two pick three or five good jobs to restore the status of free people.

"In addition, by the way, you should register the statistics and ability records of the population of the territory, and use the ability of the Star People to mark their strength and potential for the future development of the territory."

The ability of the people of the stars is too convenient to use in management, and the detection effect of color and level is simply a talent excavator.

It's hard to imagine why the Baroness of Flowers, whom they assisted, was so uncomfortable.

Just as Chen was about to continue to advise on the relevant matters, the guards who had previously led Kyle to search the winter wolf's lair finally returned to the camp.

"Baron, we've found quite a few things in the Winter Wolf's lair, and a few windfalls!"

Looking at what Kyle and the guards were carrying, even if they didn't say anything, Chen could tell what the windfall they were referring to was - the winter wolf cub.

Naturally, magical beasts also need to continue their offspring.

Winter wolf pups take about 2 years to reach full maturity and about 15 years in the natural environment.

Although their parents raise their cubs to some extent, they are driven away from territory where wolves appear when they approach adulthood.

Unless there is an old, weak, sick or disabled wolf in the pack that needs to be replaced.

In other words, the cubs in this litter of winter wolves are all under one year old, and they are not yet fully developed.

It looks like a juvenile husky, but it won't take long to gnaw off the owner's head.

This naturally neutral and evil magical beast is highly intelligent and can be domesticated several times more difficult than a husky who has never won a fight.

"Ten cubs, it turns out that the winter wolf can give birth like this."

"In previous years, this was not the case, and there was usually only one parent in a wolf pack, two to four at a time, and there were not many cubs that survived to adulthood."

Kyle explains that the magical beast deliberately restricts the food it provides to its cubs, and only individuals who are strong and robust enough are eligible to live.

The reason why so many cubs appeared at once this time was probably due to the phenomenon of wolf pack merging.

"Occasionally, several wolf packs will work together to hunt prey the size of a giant, but this group often disbands because the food cannot feed all the wolves for a long time."

According to Kyle's speculation, there may have been more than 1 pack of Winter Wolves attacking Frostplain Village - the hardy-fighting orcs have some ability to resist in the face of Winter Wolves.

As a result, several wolf packs merged and attacked Frostplain Village, paying a heavy price for it, and in the end, only 7 were left.

So the remaining winter wolves formed a group and raised their cubs collectively.

They are social creatures, and even if they are bloodthirsty by nature, they will not completely abandon the next generation.

"Kyle has some truth to what he said, but if the sacrifice of the wolves wasn't a problem because of the attack on Frostplain Village, it means that there was an additional threat nearby—enough to wreak havoc on the two Winter Wolf packs."

Jerry's suggestion of another possibility made Chen Xin wary and decided to seriously monitor his surroundings through the Holy Light Divine Envoy.

And the focus of the people of the stars such as Jin Kela, and even some of the guards, is on another matter.

"So we're going to raise winter wolves?" Kim Kira was so excited that she even raised her tone a lot, who doesn't want a powerful mount and a baby?

Kyle said solemnly, "This creature is too dangerous, and it depends on the baron's will whether or not to raise it." ”

But he looked serious and serious, but his thoughts were actually exactly the same as those of Jin Kella.

"Yes, but we don't have enough food to feed them, so it's up to you to provide them with the Divine Berries and see if you can exchange a steady stream of food for their loyalty.

"But if they can't change their habits of cannibalism and murder until they reach adulthood, they will have to be disposed of."

The cruel habits of winter wolves are difficult to change, in order to prevent them from hurting people, they must prepare special cages for special people to raise, and if domestication fails, they must also stop losses in time.

Fortunately, their fur is worth more than that.
