Chapter 687: Ismir Leads the Team Personally
Chapter 696: Ishmir leads the team
"Are you crazy? You actually went deep into the jungle?" Ishmir's eyes widened, and he looked at the goblin knights who were dragging deer carcasses and carrying pheasants with horror. It was obvious that wild deer could not appear near Windhelm Town. People would disperse the approaching wild animals, so they could only go deep into the jungle.
"Sir, we have been chasing these excellent prey for a long time!" The leading goblin knight obviously did not focus on the issue of going deep into the jungle. Instead, he kept emphasizing to Ishmir how plump the prey they captured was...
"Thank you for your hard work. Give these things to the women and you can go down to rest!" Ymir said sincerely to the goblin knights and patted their shoulders in a friendly manner to encourage them. The goblin knights smiled and dropped the prey in their hands and ran to their tents. Soon, the sound of washing came...
"They..." Ishmir was still a little confused at the moment, pointing at the goblin knights who were walking away, and he didn't know what to say.
"They are kind-hearted. We don't have much fresh food!" Ymir reminded Ismir.
"If we don't find a way to increase our income, your food reserves will not be enough to eat!" Ymir said bluntly.
"I'm just afraid that something will happen to them..." Ismir, who had already reacted, blushed a little. He was actually stupid enough to question those soldiers who went out hunting?
"They are wild goblin knights! They have lived in the jungle since they were young! You have to believe them!" Ymir shook his head.
"Is the food gap serious?" Ismir frowned. He could have made do with it some time ago? Why did the food gap suddenly soar?
"Very serious! Don't forget that we have ten more knights! Even the lowest-level goblin knights are knights! Their food consumption itself is greater than that of ordinary people! Besides, they have Warcraft mounts!" Ymir shrugged. Although the Tutu pigs can eat grass roots to survive, they certainly don't come to you to be loyal and work hard for you so that their mount partners can eat grass roots! So the appetite of these ten pigs is enough to make Ismir tremble with fear!
Fortunately, Roland didn't hire those goblin knights for a long time, otherwise he would be bald now! The food and grass consumed by the knights and horses of the kingdom itself made Roland very worried. There are still a lot of war horses that have not been taken out of the system space. If he feeds these thousands of monsters... Roland estimates that the kingdom will go bankrupt in less than two months!
Ismir just thought about the appetite of those pigs and silently calculated his several carts of supplies, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
"Then we should save some!" Ismir said seriously. After all, his gold coins were used to hire these goblin knights. Master Ismir, who didn't have many children on hand, naturally had no ability to buy food from the kingdom to deal with famine, so he could only rely on his own ability to save money and increase income.
"I have sealed the flour and rice! Now our daily diet is dried fish and dried meat with wild vegetables!" Ymir said calmly. He inherited the knowledge of his ancestors and knew the importance of food reserves, so he started to do it without waiting for Ishmir's instructions. If there is no special situation, bread and other staple foods should disappear from their table before the autumn harvest next year.
"Don't let everyone starve..." Ishmir shook his head and said nothing more. Although he left food for emergency, he couldn't let the people starve. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I have arranged for the young men to go fishing, the women and children to pick berries and wild vegetables nearby, and the goblin knights to go deep into the jungle to hunt!" Ymir told Ishmir about his plan.
"Let the Goblin Knights go hunting, it's too dangerous to go deep into the jungle. Although they are knights, their skills are not comprehensive!" Ismir shook his head and refused. He carefully learned about the combat effectiveness of these Goblin Knights, and the result can only be described as hard to describe. Unless there are enough of them, they are really useless. Now they can only fight against ordinary cavalry, and they are not qualified to fight against real death knights and human knights.
"I remember that the goblins seem to be very good at catching voles and hares. There are voles and rabbit holes everywhere on the gentle river beach along the Rapid River. They can catch these small things. It is not dangerous and efficient!" Ismir thought about it and said to Ymir.
"That's fine..." Ymir thought carefully and this method is indeed possible. Although catching voles and rabbits is not as profitable as hunting large prey such as wild boars and deer, it is efficient! As long as they catch enough, it will be enough for the people in Windhelm to fill their stomachs.
"What a pity. Vole and rabbit skins are not as warm as deerskin..." Ymir smacked his lips and said regretfully. For Windhelm Town, they lacked all supplies. Although Ishmir brought a lot of cloth, those thin cloth clothes still couldn't stop the severe cold in winter, so the territory still needed leather clothes for winter.
"It's good to have it!" Ishmir was very open-minded. He rolled his eyes and complained helplessly. What's the point of picking a bicycle now? It's good enough to be able to deal with it!
...
"What? Your Highness wants to teach the Goblin Knights knight skills?" Ishmir looked at the Griffin Knight from Lulong Fortress and was a little shocked. This Griffin Knight came specifically to inform Ishmir to send the Goblin Knight to learn skills, because in the kingdom, in addition to Roland and the Wild Goblins who signed a contract of employment, Ishmir was the only one who hired the Goblin Knight, so naturally he needed to be notified.
"Great!" Ishmir said excitedly. He had long been dissatisfied with the Goblin Knights' thin skill pool. Now it was important to have a chance to fill those pitiful skill pools. This would greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Goblin Knights! It was also good for Windhelm Town! As the high-end combat power of the territory, the Goblin Knights had to be stronger, and Ishmir would have more confidence to expand!
Then, after Ishmir notified the Goblin Knights of the news, as expected, the Goblin Knights also sang and danced excitedly. They had envied the human knights for having a complete skill system for a long time! Now that they also had the opportunity to touch the knights' most sacred skills, they were naturally extremely excited!
...
"So what are you laughing at? We sealed up the food, so without the Goblin Knights' hunting team, we will soon run out of food!" Ymir poked Ishmir, who was still laughing after watching the Goblin Knights cross the river, and said helplessly with a headache.
"..." Ishmir only reacted then. It seemed that this was the case. The warehouse would not last long without inventory.
"I'll take people hunting!" Ishmir said firmly. After all, he was a druid, the most suitable person to enter the jungle!
"Do you need me to go with you?" Ymir asked.
"Forget it. Your aura and breath are too terrifying and too obvious. Those beasts have a high perception. You will only scare them away!" Ishmir thought about it and shook his head. If Ymir went, he would be a light bulb with a top predator sign on. No beast would fail to notice him. As soon as he appeared, he would scare away those timid creatures such as wild deer.
