Become the city lord from today

"That's fine, let's divide the food first."Yami sighed. She saw a snowstorm a few days ago and reduced the amount of food distributed. Otherwise, she would not be able to survive today.

She turned her head and looked at the several skinny cattle orcs sitting there. They used to They are all elites, and now they are all starved.

Yami is a 23-year-old tiger orc. He was once the personal guard of the Brutus orc queen. Because he received the order from the king, he asked them to stay in the Rocky Mountains to guard the treasure.

"Then Yami-sama, let’s go and eat some too."Bren said a little worriedly. He obviously saw that Master Yami has also lost weight.

"By the way, no one will follow you when you come back this time, right?"Yami asked, shaking her head.

"No, we are very cautious every time we go out. As for......"Brun scratched his head and said sheepishly.

Because he saw that Yami was looking at the dried beast meat, and the number was obviously less than before.

"Is the hunting not going well? The food became less and less each time."Yami turned to stare at Brun and said

"No, we were not hindered, but we didn’t dare to go far, for fear of being delayed for too long. There were not many prey in places where we often go hunting."Bren said with shame.

"It seems that I have to eat less, otherwise I won’t be able to survive your return next time."Yami looked a little serious after reading it.

"this......"Brun hesitated and looked at Yami.

"It's okay, just tell me."Yami saw Bren's look and kind of guessed what he was going to say.

"Master Yami, we have been waiting for the eldest princess and the little princess for six years. We don’t know when they will come. From more than 200 people at the beginning to more than 20 people now"

"I really don’t know how long we can hold on. If there is no food in the Rocky Mountains now, we will starve to death in a short time. Otherwise……"After Bren finished speaking, his eyes were moist.

"alright."Yami directly interrupted what Brun was about to say, sighed, and said stubbornly,"Yes, we have been waiting for a long time, but this is the old king's order, we must wait."

"I know it is difficult to hunt prey now, but we have to persevere. We have to wait until the arrival of the eldest princess and the little princess."

After Yami finished speaking, she glanced at the orcs who were adding firewood and dividing the food, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

She actually didn't know when it would end. Maybe the eldest princess and the others would not come back, but she couldn't tell, she was The backbone, she must persist

"I don’t know where the eldest princess and the little princess are now and whether they are safe."Bren thought that the two princesses had been gone for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It's okay, it shouldn't be a big problem. What we have to solve now is the problem of our food."Yami raised the topic

"Although there are many wild fruits in season now, and the Forbidden Mountains are also covered in snow, our life will be even more difficult."Bren said distressedly

"Then pick more wild fruits, store them in the noodles, and transport them slowly later. It’s not a big problem if you don’t have meat to eat, as long as you don’t starve to death."Yami sighed helplessly and said

"It can only be this way."Bren, you won't be able to survive the winter without meat."

"By the way, have you encountered any other orcs during your recent trips to the Forbidden Mountains?"Yami asked. She suddenly thought that the orcs who escaped because of the 'Wrath of the Snow Queen' would pass through the Forbidden Mountains. Maybe some of them would settle in the Forbidden Mountains.

"Yes, there are several small orc tribes, all of which escaped from the Brutus orc kingdom before."Bren responded in a deep voice.

It is because of those small tribes that there are fewer wild beasts outside the Forbidden Mountains, and the difficulty of hunting has increased a lot.

"How was their life?"Yami is a little curious.

"After all, in the Forbidden Mountains, picking wild fruits and hunting are more convenient than us. What's more, they have also opened up some fields to plant some wheat seeds they took away before and keep them for the winter."Bren told everything he knew.

"That's it!"Yami thought about it.

"By the way, we can trade some gold coins from the treasure."Bren said a little excitedly

"No, absolutely not. Those are the treasures left by the old king to the eldest princess and the little princess. We must not touch them."Yami's voice has obviously improved a lot.

"Master Yami, let's exchange some for food, so that we can have food for the winter."Bren said a little anxiously

"……"Yami didn't speak. She held her chin with one hand and her elbow with the other, thinking.

"Just take some gold coins. I believe the eldest princess and the others will not blame us. If we can't survive, there will be no one to protect this treasure."Bren saw that Yami was a little hesitant, so he continued to persuade,"If this continues, Yami-sama and everyone will not be able to persist."

Yami thought for a while, then nodded silently,"Okay, just this time, let's get a hundred gold coins in exchange for wheat and animal skin clothing."

"Yeah, just this once."Bren nodded quickly and felt relieved.

"Hey, that's not right."Yami frowned and thought for a long time. He saw an orc from the Ox Tribe sharpening his sword in preparation for the next hunt. Suddenly his brown eyes lit up and he realized what he had missed.

"Master Yami, is there something wrong?"Bren asked doubtfully.

"Now that they have settled in the Forbidden Mountains, it means that gold coins are of little use to them."Yami suddenly said

"What to do?"Bren also remembered that food is more important now, and gold coins are of no use.

He followed Yami's gaze and saw the Ox tribe orc who was sharpening his sword, and suddenly lost his voice:"Weapon?"

"Well, that's right, what they lacked was weapons for hunting and defense. Presumably the spears they used made of wood could not defend themselves against larger beasts."The corners of Yamei's mouth raised slightly.

"Weapons... But our weapons are only enough for ourselves."Bren fell into worry again.

"Have you forgotten that when the old king left the treasure, he also left behind a batch of spears and bows and arrows?"Yamei said calmly

"Yes, why did I forget it."Bren suddenly realized and patted his head.

"When you leave tomorrow, bring some weapons to trade. I don’t think they will refuse."Yami turned her head and looked into the depths of the cave and warned,"Watch your whereabouts."

"yes."Bren responded respectfully.
