Chapter 198 Orcs Will Never Be Slaves! Unless They Are Provided with Food and Shelter!

Earl of Jinmei.

The morning light fell on the crystal sand like a veil.

Scattered shells dotted this deserted beach.

Qin Mo stood on the shore, waiting for the ship girl who had not returned all night like an old father.

Suddenly, the sparkling sea surface rose, and the huge figure covered by the water curtain slowly approached the beach. With the thin streams of water returning to the sea, the true face of the sea monster was finally revealed.

It was light blue all over, with mysterious lines attached. It seemed that the color of the lines changed with the depth of the sea water.

The overall shape was humanoid, far more than the size, about five meters tall, with strong muscles crisscrossing, condensing into a hideous grinning muscle armor, two thick and powerful arms, extending a hammer-shaped giant fist with bone spurs.

Sea Giant!!

Qin Mo thought to himself that judging from the bone spurs flashing with cold light, it should be a bone hammer sea giant, a large branch of the sea giant clan. Of course, there are other branches, such as the raging sea giant and the hard armor sea giant.

A pair of flippers similar to frog feet, with bones inside supporting the jagged surface, stepped on the beach to leave huge footprints.

As the first bone hammer sea giant landed, large splashes appeared on the sea surface one after another, and sea giants of the same clan appeared one after another, a total of eight, very easy to count.

"The last one is there!" Shengwu Ji pointed to the center of the sea surface.

Qin Mo nodded slightly. This is a six-meter-tall sea giant patriarch. The difference is not only in size, but also in the bone armor covering its arms, like a white devil walking out of the deep sea.

On the broad shoulders of the white devil stood a girl in a skirt. She was a small ship girl. Her pretty face was calm, and her black hair danced wildly in the wind. Against the background of the sea giant's head, she was pure and dangerously charming.

The ship girl landed lightly on the beach, her eyes fell on Qin Mo, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"They are a family of sea giants, with 16 members, and no old people or children."

"It was them who occupied the habitat of the snail monster and drove the snail monster to Lutou Port!"

"Now..."

"They are the first generation members of the Galaxy Mothership Corps!!"

Shengwu Ji was envious, and the baby felt bitter, but the baby didn't say it.

Never thought that before its corps had settled, the ship girl already had a knight group.

There are nine adult sea giants, and the ship girl herself is ten, just enough to form a knight group.

Afterwards, wandering the sea and looking for other sea giant families, they can continue to expand, and the route is clear.

How can it not be envious? !

If it had known this earlier, it might as well have a sweet sleep.

"They are so big, it's not easy to feed them, right?" Shengwu Ji said unyieldingly.

The little ship girl nodded, "I defeated them and let them fight for me, but there is a condition, they need to support their families."

"If they can't support their families and continue their families, they will have no intention of fighting!"

In short, without food, drink and other things, the lunatics will abandon their parents and children and follow the south and north to fight.

"You mean that you want the earl to help you raise troops?" Shengwuji reacted.

Shengwuji calculated in her mind...

The height of an adult sea giant is five meters, and its strength is at the level of a star knight. It must not eat bread and milk, but the same resources as a star knight.

A sea giant in the sea water can fight three star knights alone, assuming that the appetite is also three times.

Sixteen sea giants, the rations or military pay is forty-eight star knights.

This does not include the six-meter-tall sea giant master, whose strength is at the level of Silver Moon!

Saint Wu Ji looked at Qin Mo jokingly. So far, the Earl's territory has not had a single Star Knight. It is conceivable that resources are scarce. Now they have to support nearly fifty Star Knights.

The pressure is full! !

Qin Mo's mouth twitched. As expected, expensive things have advantages in every way except being expensive.

As the Holy Spirit of Elements, the Ship Girl can tame the Sea Giant by relying on strength and bloodline. This is something that other races do not have, but there is also a problem that must be solved. What about rations?

You can't just go without food and water, go hungry for nine meals in three days, and do something that will cost your life~!

Qin Mo looked at the task.

[King's Mission: Iron Throne of Thorns]

[Phase 1: Developing Territory]

[Mission Requirements: 1. Own a territory of 50,000 square meters; 2. Own a population of 5 million; 3. Own three pillar industries; 4. Own a million-strong army; 5. Own three extraordinary arms]

[Mission Reward: King's Crown Fragment × 1 (four pieces can be synthesized)]

The mission requirements are in order. Without territory, population, and industry, it is impossible to support ordinary musket troops and extraordinary knights.

"Can it be self-sufficient?" Qin Mo asked weakly, wanting to get it for free.

"Normally, they can, but when I am training and expanding the legion, they don't have enough time to hunt for food." The little ship girl replied.

Food is not easy to obtain. The sea is so big, and many creatures have first-class escape techniques.

Qin Mo pointed to the snail monster basking in the sun in the distance, "Do sea giants eat snails?"

"Yes, but the snail monster has too little meat and its shell is thick, so it takes time to pick the meat."

"In other words, the problem is concentrated in the meat picking stage, right?" Qin Mo grasped the key point.

It's like going to a barbecue stall to eat snails. The small snails are delicious, but they can't be sucked out. You have to pick them one by one with a toothpick, which is very time-consuming. It's not as good as spicy crayfish.

The little ship girl turned her head to ask the owner of the sea giant and got a positive answer.

Qin Mo gently rubbed his brows.

It is no problem to simply support a family of sea giants, but once the number of legions increases, it will be powerless.

The sea giants still need to be self-sufficient, at least semi-self-sufficient.

"How about this..."

"You lead the sea giants, disguised as fighting for habitats and hunting snail monsters. After killing them, I will organize the residents of Lutou Town to help pick the snail meat."

"It will definitely be troublesome, but it will save you time."

"Then, I will let Gray Wolf build a treasure hunting instrument. Pearls, gems, and special plants in the sea are still valuable, just right to pay the meat pickers."

"How to arrange the time specifically, you decide."

Qin Mo said, finally knowing why the eyes of these sea giants were wrong. There is a saying: Orcs will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and accommodation.

Their eyes are the eyes of looking at the scapegoat.

Sighing in my heart... Even if I try my best to hide, as more and more exposure occurs, it will definitely be noticed by those who are interested. Adam, Lu Tongxuan and others are on the other side.

On one hand, he was pushing for development, and on the other hand, he wanted to be the sixth. The two formed an irreconcilable conflict.

The little ship girl nodded, her eyes narrowed into a mischievous arc, "Qin Mo, they haven't eaten breakfast yet, and they swam all the way here."

Roar~~~ The sea giants touched their stomachs very sensibly.

"You have changed, you were not like this before." Qin Mo looked at the little ship girl and said.

War is all about logistics, and rations are the most important part of logistics. Before the troops move, the food and grass must go first.

I am still very happy in my heart.

It takes a thousand days to raise troops and a moment to use them. Now is the investment stage, and the real harvest is behind.
