Green Monster Epic

“Forget it, we've just regained peace, a few prey items are nothing to fuss about.”

The situation is what it is. Allen risked his life to achieve peace, and we can't break it now. Allen naturally understands the reason for their actions, and the more he understands, the more motivated he becomes.

“At worst, when we go hunting in the future, we'll avoid the northeast and head south, staying away from those guys.”

“Come on, let's get up and eat. We made berry noodles today, they taste great.”

Flower Snake stepped forward to help Dasha, the leader, up, pulling him towards the tribe's cafeteria.

Currently, the Green Field Tribe still practices a communal dining system, with fixed rations for each person. This is Allen's way of managing food efficiently and making it last longer. The tribe's food sources are still unstable, so Allen must find a stable food source for the tribe before the purchased grain runs out.

Most of the animals hunted by the Constellation Moon Hunting Team are made into smoked meat for longer preservation, which is a source of income. The tribe's females also contribute, gathering wild vegetables and berries around the village under Camellia's leadership during their free time to supplement their daily rations. However, most of these fresh ingredients cannot be stored for long, but the stable wilderness climate means fresh berries and wild vegetables are always growing and ripening, which can be considered a small output.

Now, the females are consciously transplanting berry bushes to the lakeside, where water is more abundant, to create a larger scale. Although they lack experience and the skills of druid-like planting masters, they compensate for their lack of skill with quantity. They have made considerable progress in transplanting berry bushes.

Especially the human slaves, some of whom are skilled gardening technicians. Although they don't know much about wilderness plants, their extensive planting experience has played a significant role. Also, the humans' use of manure fertilizer is both disgusting and admirable to the Green Field people.

They collect the feces and urine excreted by the goblins every day, gather them in a unified manner, then ferment them for a period of time before irrigating them near the roots of the transplanted bushes. This not only increases the survival rate of the bushes but also makes them grow more vigorously, producing more fruit.

Of course, only the females who often deal with the bushes can notice the changes, while the rough males never pay attention to these things.

In previous years, the largest source of food for the Green Field Tribe was the tall trees in the wilderness, which produced nuts every year, the most common being the hard peach. A hard peach tree can grow up to ten meters tall, and when it blooms, the top of the crown is a bright red. When the fruit ripens, such a tree can often bring hundreds of pounds of fruit to the wilderness natives.

Even after removing the hard outer shell of the hard peach fruit, a hard peach tree can produce about two hundred pounds of nuts, which is the biggest guarantee for a typical tribe to survive in the wilderness.

Moreover, the hard peach tree blooms twice a year, which means it can produce two harvests of food.

Because of the importance of the hard peach tree to the wilderness natives, there is an unwritten rule among the wilderness natives: it is never allowed for any tribe to cut down mature hard peach trees that have grown to more than ten meters.

However, hard peach trees also have their own characteristics. When each hard peach tree grows into a mature tree over ten meters, there will definitely not be another tree growing within five miles of it, as if there is some connection or competition between them. Therefore, the territorial disputes between the wilderness natives are mostly about the hard peach trees. The tribe that occupies more territory means they may have more hard peach trees, and more hard peach trees mean more food.

The Green Field Tribe originally had only 3 hard peach trees in their territory. Whenever the hard peach trees bore fruit and ripened, the Green Field Tribe members would guard the trees day and night, driving away other wild animals and birds from抢食, while also preventing other tribes from抢夺.

Now that they have taken over the territory of the gnolls, they have also taken over the 6 hard peach trees in the gnolls' territory. Don't look at the gnolls' ferocious appearance and sharp teeth, but they actually need the food provided by the hard peach trees as a supplement to their meat diet. Adding the 3 fruit trees in the Green Field Tribe's original territory, the current Green Field Tribe has a total of 9 trees, which can collect nearly 4,000 pounds of food from them each year.

At the same time, the Green Lake in the gnolls' territory can also provide a certain amount of lake fish to the goblins. According to Allen's statistics during this period, the number of lake fish that Green Lake can provide in a year is about 1,000 pounds.

In this way, the Green Field Tribe's annual food source is basically the same. If the planting of oats is successful, then they will get rid of the hunger of many years and will no longer worry about food.

However, Allen thought further. If the tribe wants to grow and develop, population growth is necessary. The growth of the population naturally requires more food to support them. Looking at it this way, this food is far from enough.

The money and wealth accumulated by the tribe for dozens of generations has been spent almost 1/3 on Allen's trip, which means that unless it is really a desperate situation, Allen will bring money and jewelry to Thunder Tribe and Thorns Fort to purchase food for emergency, but he cannot take buying food as a regular means.

The Green Lake area is too remote, and it is rare to see a few caravans passing by throughout the year, and not every one of these caravans has the strength for Allen and his tribesmen to plunder.

Therefore, Allen intends to continue the behavior of rationing food until he finds another stable food source.

However, in addition to the food rationing system, Allen has also established a food reward system, which is an incentive system designed to encourage the tribe to work more and labor more. Especially after the tribe has established stable families, this incentive system can allow hardworking families to retain some private property, but also allow them to secretly open small stoves to supplement nutrition for themselves or their children.

Nothing can compare to having food in hand, which can make the tribe feel at ease. It is also these systems that Allen began to implement in the tribe that have allowed the tribe to gradually burst out with new vitality after becoming familiar with the rules, from the initial resistance to change, and to move slowly towards a stronger line of defense.
