"I need a lot of weapons, not just enough for one or two orcs."
He felt that Hu Shen's people were all very promising and good talents; taking those orcs into the forest before was a test.
The results were unexpectedly good.
If we could organize and train this group of orcs, even half of them, no, only a third, would be able to sweep through the forest and be invincible!
Su Shiwei has always doted on his younger siblings. Although he and Su Jianyuan are not much different in age, he never says no to anything Su Jianyuan wants to do.
"The blacksmith's workshop will be completed in a few more days. Just tell the bamboo bear beastmen what kind of weapons you need. I can't guarantee that all of them will be supplied, but I will do my best to provide them for you," Su Shiwei said calmly.
Su Jianyuan's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.
As expected of a loving older brother! That's awesome!
He asked impatiently, "How many sets of those bows and arrows and animal traps can you provide, like the ones I used before?"
Su Shiwei held up five fingers.
"Fifty sets are enough!" Su Jianyuan laughed as soon as he saw them.
Before he could finish celebrating, he heard Su Shiwei shake her head and correct him:
"No, it's five sets."
"..."
"Only this much?!" Su Jianyuan's loud voice immediately became uncontrollable.
“Brother, the Bamboo Bear tribe came after the disaster. Most of the supplies they brought were food. Do you expect them to be carrying a bunch of iron lumps when they fled?” Su Tang knew a lot about the basic situation of the Bamboo Bear beastmen.
It would be good enough if they could bring along a small portion of the iron they were supposed to replace.
"Is it just a matter of not having enough iron ore? Then I'll just take the orcs to the Bamboo Bear Tribe to dig some up!" Su Jianyuan said.
“Iron ore is only part of the reason,” Su Shiwei interrupted.
"From what I understand, the bamboo bear orcs are very slow at forging iron now. It will take them quite a while to forge the ironware we need."
"Right now, our only fuel is wood. If we had coal, it would be much faster."
Su Jianyuan scratched his head, wondering why he had been transported to such a primitive place.
It's so difficult to even make some weapons.
Upon hearing the word "coal," something suddenly flashed through Su Tang's mind.
"Fine, fine, five sets it is then," Su Jianyuan conceded.
Having something is better than having nothing; adding five teammates is enough to allow them to go further.
We must proceed step by step, and not be too eager for quick success.
The days that followed.
Su Shiwei led the beastmen in a full-scale construction effort.
One by one, sturdy houses rose up around the wooden house, steadily enclosing it in the middle.
On the outskirts of the orcish settlement, on one side is Xiao Fu's small breeding farm, next to acres of fertile fields crisscrossed by paths; on the other side is an industrial area for blacksmithing and smelting.
The high wall that was originally planned to be built has been delayed again and again, and now it is no longer needed.
The walls couldn't stop the orcs.
After the territory expanded, the surrounding cliffs formed a natural barrier.
What were once two small, dilapidated thatched huts have now grown into a small tribe.
With their current strength, no tribe, except perhaps the most foolish ones, would dare to provoke them.
After seven consecutive days of torrential rain, the rainy season came to an end amidst howling winds.
Thanks to the blessings of nature, the reservoir was successfully filled with water.
Su Jianyuan also successfully obtained the weapon he had been waiting for. With Lang Zhuang and the five orcs he had selected, he expanded his hunting team from two to seven and set off on the hunt.
The windy season is more stable than the rainy season.
The Su family lives in a place nestled among mountains and forests, with both high mountains and flat land, where the dangers of the windy season are much less than those of the rainy and snowy seasons.
Even if there are strong winds, they are kept out by the mountains.
However, those tribes near the sea are in a worse situation, as the windy season is a high-risk period for their disasters.
However, these are not things that Su Tang needs to consider.
As long as she doesn't go out during the windy season, the strong winds outside have nothing to do with her.
Isn't it better to just stay quietly in your own little nest?
...
In the afternoon, Su Jianyuan's seven-person hunting team returned with a full catch!
The enormous prey, unlike anything they had ever seen before, shocked the beasts, who all came to watch.
"I've never seen such a big prey!"
"Just how deep into the forest did they go to catch such a large prey..."
"Look at what's stuck in this prey's body! It's amazing that it could injure such a thick-skinned animal!"
Su Jianyuan's team was so impressive that it attracted all the orcs working nearby.
Su Tang had just finished harvesting a batch of crops at the farm when she came out and heard a chorus of exclamations of surprise from outside.
When they came out, they found that it was their elder brother, Su Jianyuan, who had returned from hunting.
They also brought back a huge prey.
It was a black wild boar almost as big as a house, its body covered with countless arrows, like a giant hedgehog.
There were several black, tooth-like objects under the wild boar's feet, biting down hard, with blood constantly flowing from the "bite".
It took Su Jianyuan and his group of seven to barely carry such a large prey back together.
The surrounding orcs were both shocked and excited.
The enormous prey they had never seen before not only meant they had a bountiful harvest of food, but also that the forest territory the orcs could now traverse had expanded!
"Hey sis, look at your brother's spoils of war today! Aren't they awesome?!"
When Su Jianyuan saw Su Tang coming over, he said with a smug look on his face.
He has never been a humble or low-key person.
If you do something high-profile, you should show it to others in a high-profile way!
That's his skill!
