Chapter 312: Wild?
During this time, when Drogo and the others heard that they were going to take a walk around the area, they immediately followed.
I don't know if they were worried that they would never come back, but later on Silk also came along, and the team really grew a lot bigger.
Li Ce didn't care about this. After leaving the grassland elves' village, they moved a short distance and easily found a large flock of sheep.
"Is that the sheep we ate earlier?"
Pointing to the large flock of sheep, Li Ce asked with great interest.
Faced with the question, Silk nodded.
"Yes, that's the sheep we ate earlier."
"You raise all these sheep?"
"That's not the case. They are all wild, but their range of activities is basically limited to this area."
Li Ce had actually guessed this a long time ago. To put it bluntly, he was just asking the question even though he already knew the answer, in order to pave the way for what he was going to say next.
"Wild? Then can I catch some and take them back? They're not raised by you anyway."
Hearing this, a slight wrinkle appeared between Silk's brows.
"The meat we need every day is hunted by special elves, so there is no need to catch more."
The elves do not prohibit hunting animals, but they believe in killing as many as you can eat, and resist indiscriminate killing and wasting of food. In their view, these are all gifts from nature, and both indiscriminate killing and waste are shameful.
And it is precisely because of this that, over time, many weak herbivores on the grassland will gather near the villages of the grassland elves.
After all, although the grassland elves also eat meat, they have small appetites and will not be hunted in large numbers.
At the same time, if any ferocious carnivores appear, the grassland elves will hunt the carnivores to ensure the safety around the village and protect them at the same time.
In this era, this is already a very favorable living environment for weak herbivores.
Finally, a strange phenomenon was formed in which even without captivity, herbivores would not easily leave this area.
After laying the groundwork for so long, Li Ce slowly explained what Silk said...
"It's not me who wants to eat it, but our leader and other members of my tribe have never eaten this kind of mutton. I want to catch some and bring it back for them to try."
“…”
Li Ce's words were absolutely impeccable.
After all, you said it yourself, these sheep are all wild.
Logically speaking, since they are wild, how I catch these sheep has nothing to do with you, because you don't raise them.
At the same time, I didn't say that we should kill people indiscriminately, so what reason do you have to stop me? Facts have proved that there is none.
Seeing this, Li Ce laughed, clasped his fists towards Silk, and signaled the soldiers who followed to catch the sheep. Seeing this, Drogo and the others also stepped forward to help.
These sheep posed no threat to them, and they easily captured more than a dozen of them alive.
But Li Ce didn't go too far.
If the sheep here could really be caught at will, Drogo and them wouldn't have had to fight.
This time, he was simply captured and killed by Li Ce.
But considering that they still have to cooperate in the future, if they catch dozens of them at once, the subsequent cooperation will probably not be very pleasant.
Therefore, Li Ce decided to stop while he was ahead. He tied the four legs of the dozen or so sheep he had captured alive with ropes, and then waited for the cart to come and take them back to the grassland village.
All things are difficult at the beginning. The key is not how many sheep they catch now, but that they have to have sheep in the first place!
After they have it, they can breed and raise it themselves.
Li Ce and his friends, who had successively raised rabbits, chickens, cattle, horses, and even wolves, had already had some of their ideas changed by Zhou Xu, and had also formed some inertial thinking.
If you just rely on catching, you will eventually run out of things.
If they want to survive for a long time, they still have to rely on themselves to raise and breed! In fact, to be honest, when the large army of lizardmen comes here, including these sheep, will the herbivorous animals living around them be spared? Of course, he didn't bother about this matter. He just wanted to open this head. He was not greedy, and other things had nothing to do with him.
After that, they didn't just go home, but continued to stroll around the area.
During the period, Li Ce and his companions even saw a herd of wild horses. After being slightly excited, they couldn't help feeling melancholy again.
I didn't bring any equipment for catching horses, like a lasso.
Moreover, the wild horses were much more vigilant than the sheep. As soon as they saw them approaching, they immediately ran away in a swarm.
Looking at the backs of the wild horses leaving, Li Ce couldn't help but feel even more melancholy.
[I was wondering why it was so hard to find a herd of wild horses. It turns out they are all hiding here! ]
In just a short while, the herd of wild horses had disappeared, leaving Li Ce standing there with a melancholy look on his face.
In the following period of time, the sheep sent back from the elf village were an unexpected surprise for Ye Jinghong, and he quickly asked the people in the farm to settle them down.
However, the acquisition of this resource will at most be beneficial to the subsequent development of their village, and it will not be of any help in solving the biggest problem at the moment.
On this day, pterosaur riders flew over the grassland elves' village. The grassland elves, who had been on high alert for aerial reconnaissance units during this period, discovered the other party's presence at the first moment and greeted them with arrows.
Faced with this situation, the pterosaur rider simply turned around and left.
The opponent was flying in the air, at a fairly high altitude and at a fairly fast speed, and the grassland elves had no way to deal with him.
The departure of the pterosaur riders made them realize that the Lizardmen's army was really coming! Although they had expected this day and were waiting for it.
But when this day really came, the inner pressure of Li Ce and others began to rise sharply.
The three parties came together again for a tactical discussion.
"Even though the enemy has air units and they are likely to see through our actions, I still think we can launch harassment attacks appropriately. This can consume some of the enemy's forces and slow down their actions. It's better than staying here and defending for the whole time."
Having said this, Li Ce paused.
"Our core combat force right now is all cavalry. Defending stubbornly will not bring out our strengths and will not have a good result."
"I agree. Even if they find out in advance, what does it matter? Our actions can still have an impact on them. It's not like they are completely useless."
After Drogo made his statement, their eyes fell on Silk at the same time.
If we were to say who was under the most pressure at this moment, it would definitely be Silk, after all, it was their village that was exposed.
At this critical juncture, letting the cavalry take the initiative to attack would also involve risks.
But he had to admit that Li Ce's idea was not wrong.
"I agree too!"
