The Dragon Nest Tribe, which started with just seven and a half Kobolds, has now expanded to dominate an area spanning several tens of miles. Not even the lame Kobold could have anticipated this, nor did Vini, the current Governor of the Dragon Nest Tribe.
Under Austin's decision to establish the tribe, it has grown into this massive entity within a year.
The speed of this expansion and growth is shocking to every Beastman who joined early; no one could have imagined that this monstrous group built by Austin, the Blue Young Dragon, using various insights from his previous life, would develop to such an extent.
This force, organized using the systems and knowledge Austin knew from his past life, still harbors an incredibly frightening energy. Although Vini and the other top members of the Dragon Nest Tribe are not extraordinarily gifted individuals, following Austin for a long time, and with significant daily management training, they are now capable of seeing much further and wider.
This is a colossal entity on the verge of awakening, poised to shock the entire world when it reveals its claws.
"What a great power, this wisdom is beyond our imagination..."
Vini stands high in the City Hall, overlooking the neatly arranged houses, where Beastmen are organized in an orderly fashion at the village's edge. From Vini's vantage point, they appear as ants working together to steadily construct and expand the tribe.
The strict organization and coordination between various tasks are closely knitted by the bonds of military and governance, with every Beastman in the Dragon Nest Tribe becoming like screws twisted tightly together, forming this vast system.
Among the initial seven and a half Kobolds who joined under Austin's banner, their fragmented tribe was originally driven out from internal strife within another Great Tribe. As their leader, Vini had once lived in that tribe, and owing to this, when compared to that old tribe, the system created by Austin for the Dragon Nest Tribe is even more astonishing.
In fact, throughout the Kawa Great Forest, strictly speaking, every tribe living here is merely a gathering place for groups of Beastmen banding together for better survival. They have no survival systems and very little cooperation; their battles are scattered, not even comparable to street brawls from Austin's previous life.
Under such a scattered organization, neither the production capability nor the construction ability can compare to that of the Dragon Nest Tribe.
"When we first joined under His Highness Austin, my clan and I were already in dire straits, unable to foresee any path ahead. At that time, we only had seven clansmen, a few broken wooden spears, leftover animal skins, and a tattered stone bowl. Every clansman was starved, skin and bones, with no hope in sight."
"Back then, His Highness appeared before us. Initially, we thought we were going to die, but in the end, His merciful Highness took us in, allowing us to survive under His protection. At that time, we had just escaped a life-and-death crisis, sleeping directly in nests under the Dragon's Nest for the past few nights. Every morning, our fur was drenched with dew."
"At that time, our greatest wish was merely to live safely under His Highness's protection every day, obtain enough food from the nearby territory, and build a small makeshift shelter to shield from the wind and rain for the coming cold winter season."
"No one could have imagined that all these changes would happen so swiftly. His Highness taught us many things, from coordinating to kill the first Ghost-headed Crocodile, to annexing the remnants of Rodney's tribe, to besieging the Blood Wolf pack, recruiting populace, reclaiming lands, and attacking to annex other tribes, progressing step by step from nothing to the current state."
"Now, even if His Highness Austin were to slumber, with the Dragon Nest Tribe's capacity to rapidly muster a fighting force of two thousand, along with the power of dozens of Extraordinary Beastmen, we are enough to dominate a vast area of a hundred miles without any rivals."
Vini stood high, gazing down at the continuously expanding tribe houses, his voice filled with awe.
"Indeed very great, His Highness's wisdom is as boundless as the sky and sea, which is why I so easily surrendered to serve His Highness originally. His Highness is unlike any Lord I have ever seen, not just on the surface but internally. I have never heard of such a Dragon Lord, who not only started such an enterprise before coming of age but also didn't indulge in plundering gold coins and crystals. Instead, He spends a tremendous amount of time on managing and developing the clan, treating the clan differently from other Dragon Race lords. Even among the Beastman Great Lords near the Border Great Wall, I have not seen anyone more capable than His Highness."
On the rooftop, the Dark Elf, Adinlek, standing behind with a longbow, spoke softly, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.
If this continues, perhaps it could...
The Dark Elf secretly plotted in his heart, some buried things deep inside began to slowly sprout.
"What's the matter? Did you come to see me for something?"
Vini turned around and asked the Dark Elf.
"Yes, it's about food."
Hearing this, the Dark Elf snapped back, suppressing his plotting, and started to explain the purpose of his visit.
There exists an unbridgeable gap in strength between Extraordinary Beastmen and ordinary Beastmen. Even a Bronze Level Lower Tier Extraordinary Beastman can easily defeat several times more enemies, let alone the talent abilities that can be awakened once one becomes Extraordinary.
But similarly, the greater the power, the more food and energy must be consumed. Substances like arrowroot starch from plants simply cannot suffice the consumption, necessitating a large intake of meat.
Currently, with the transformed Beastmen and captured Extraordinary Beastmen, the Dragon Nest Tribe has a total of fifty-six Extraordinary Beastmen. The meat consumption required by these Extraordinary Beastmen each day is an enormous number, even with the current scale of the Dragon Nest Tribe, supporting so many Extraordinary Beastmen feels strenuous.
Though Extraordinary Beastmen and transformed Beastmen can hunt enough food in the wild, the problem is that wild animals are ultimately limited. In recent days, the prey caught by the hunting party has gradually decreased.
The wildlife within the territorial expanse of several tens of miles cannot sustain the entire tribe, especially the consumption of several tens of Extraordinary Beastmen. Therefore, the Dark Elf has come this time hoping to lead a team to hunt Giant Beasts, to solve this issue facing the Dragon Nest Tribe.
