When Richard and Mia returned to the castle, Dorothy was already waiting outside.
Although she could easily sneak into the castle with her skills, she obviously did not sneak in this time. Instead, she waited outside.
As Richard approached, he noticed that Dorothy looked a little tired.
"What's wrong? Dorothy."
Mia asked.
When Dorothy saw Richard, she bowed to him."Sir Richard, I'm here to ask Sir Richard for help!”
.
"Your tribe's food was robbed by the dog-headed people?”
A few minutes later, the cat-eared girl Miya's voice sounded in the castle.
Dorothy sat on the soft sofa with a worried expression.""Yes, the Kobolds are too bad. They attacked once, and I killed many Kobolds before they retreated. Who knew that the second time, they would create a diversion and lure me out. After that, the other Kobolds rushed in and stole the food.”
Richard listened quietly.
It was actually very simple.
Seven days ago, the fox-eared lady returned to her tribe.
Her tribe wasn't big, with only a thousand or so Foxmen.
The Foxman Tribe was actually quite hardworking. They were willing to farm the land and raise some animals, unlike some Beastman Tribes that only knew how to rely on the weather to eat. They ate some of the products in the forest and stole from other Beastmen if they couldn't rely on the weather.
When she returned, all the Foxmen had already begun to collect food.
However, a Kobold tribe had set their eyes on her tribe.
The Kobold tribe had more than 3,000 Kobolds, and they were even stronger.
In the beginning, the dog-headed people launched an attack, wanting to snatch it by force.
However, the Foxmen relied on their stronghold, and with Dorothy's strength, the Foxmen managed to defend their stronghold, causing the Kobolds to suffer heavy losses.
However, the Kobolds took advantage of the time when the Foxmen went out to collect food and launched a sneak attack, luring Dorothy out.
Then, a large group of Kobolds rushed into Dorothy's tribe and stole all the food.
.
Without food, Dorothy's tribe would not last long.
That was why Dorothy had traveled day and night to Richard's place to ask for help.
Richard... He was the only person she could think of to ask for help!
Although her and Mia's teacher had a high status in the capital, her teacher couldn't care about her tribe, and neither would the king of the orc kingdom.
Under the locust plague, even the royal family of the Beastmen had to think of ways to ensure their own food.
After all, after the locust plague ended, it would be a long winter.
Who would care about a small tribe with more than a thousand people?
Dorothy stood up and said solemnly,""As long as Mr. Richard is willing to ask us for help, Dorothy is willing to serve you for the rest of her life, just like Mivi.”
To Dorothy, this was the only bargaining chip she could think of.
She was different from Miwei and Miya.
The two sisters no longer had any relatives in the tribe. Moreover, the cat tribe did not protect Miwei well when they retreated. They no longer cared about the tribe.
However, Dorothy's parents and relatives were in the tribe, so she could not let go of her own tribe.
.
Hearing Dorothy's words, Richard pondered for a moment and said,""I have a plan."
Dorothy looked at Richard.
" Let your tribe move to my territory," Richard said." I'll be in charge of arranging for your people, but your people need to work for me. As long as they work for me, I can guarantee everyone's food and pay the workers. However, the food of the Foxmen who have lost their ability to work will need to be deducted from the total salary of your tribe before being distributed to you.”
This was Richard's plan.
His territory was currently lacking manpower.
In a short period of time, they would not be able to recruit refugees.
He could recruit orcs.
Of course, it had to be a reliable orc.
Greedy and cunning beastmen like the Kobolds and Gnomes who only knew how to rob others would attract trouble!
Dorothy's tribe was more hardworking, and Dorothy had a high status in the tribe, so she had a strong control over the tribe.
With Dorothy around, there was no need to worry about the control of the tribe.
So he could recruit Dorothy's tribe to work for Richard.
In the past few days, Richard had learned a little about the Dorothy tribe through Mia.
The Foxmen were naturally not as big as the Tauren.
However, as Orcs, the physical strength of adult Foxmen was not inferior to that of humans.
Many Foxmen had pretty good archery skills. They used their own bows and arrows, so they had a certain level of combat power.
It just so happened that Richard was short of archers. With over a thousand Foxmen, he could at least make up a hundred Foxman archers.
As for the other Foxmen, no matter what, they could gather four to five hundred of them to work.
That way, before the Great Famine broke out, Richard would have more combat power and enough manpower to repair the city.
Of course, Richard would set aside a separate area for her tribe.
Compared to directly giving out food, this plan was the most beneficial for Richard.
He didn't like giving alms, and he couldn't give alms. He preferred an equivalent exchange.
.
Dorothy's eyes lit up when she heard Richard's plan.
This was indeed a better plan.
However...
Orc tribes entering the territory of human nobles to work, this kind of thing…It had never happened before.
Richard seemed to know what she was hesitating about."Don't worry. In my territory, I won't allow humans to bully Beastmen. Of course, the premise is that you can't cause trouble.”
"Master's plan is not bad."
Mia said.
"Dorothy, Master has a strong control over the territory. He is also a noble mage. As long as you control your tribe well and do things according to Master's rules, there will be no problems.”
Mia said.
Dorothy pondered for a while. Finally, she raised her head and said,""Thank you, Sir Richard. We accept this plan. However, out of gratitude to you and to make the people in the tribe respect you more, Dorothy is still willing to protect you with her sword!”
