Chapter 73 Surprise
Chapter 73 Surprise
In the pig tribe, the females were experiencing abdominal pain and rushed to the shaman's house. Some even gave birth on the way, leaving their accompanying beastmen bewildered. Fortunately, an elf ran to ask the shaman for advice. It turned out that having many beastmen did have its advantages, as some females had given birth at their own homes.
Everything can be compared to pigs, except when it comes to giving birth. They can give birth anytime, anywhere, and they usually give birth to four, some even five. Only one or two females give birth to three.
When the pig chieftain learned of this, he gathered the male orcs and said, "Look, the lion chieftain is so good to us! He even gave us an extra wooden basin in exchange for pills. Now, the females in our tribe are giving birth to three, four, or even five cubs!" He then burst into laughter, and the male orcs laughed along with him.
"Do you know how many children the females of the Bear Clan have?" the Pig Chieftain asked.
"I don't know, Chieftain, please tell me! Could it be that they have more offspring than our pig clan?" the male orc asked.
"Hahaha, no, I heard they only give birth to one child at a time, far worse than our pig clan," the pig chieftain said smugly.
"That's for sure, what can we do when we're pigs?"
"Yes, yes, you're right, we are pigs."
"Perhaps... the males of our pig clan are more powerful, they gibberish... and said a whole bunch of things."
"Me too, my family has five kids, hehehe..." he said, puffing out his muscles.
The male orcs discussed amongst themselves, each offering their own opinion, which became increasingly outrageous.
At this moment, the pig chieftain spoke up, "Quiet! Quiet!"
When the clan leader spoke, everyone quieted down in twos and threes.
"The fact that so many cubs have been born in our tribe is all thanks to the Lion Clan's help. So, I plan to arrange for some orcs to go hunting in a couple of days, and the spoils will be given to the Lion Clan. Anyone who's interested, come and sign up here."
As soon as the pig chief finished speaking, everyone rushed to say, "Me, me, and me too! I want to go!"
The pig chieftain was delighted to see these male orcs so enthusiastic for the first time. He said, "Alright, it's settled then. However, we must be careful during this hunt and not let the other tribes find out. We want to give the lion tribe a surprise!"
Don't underestimate them just because they're pigs; they're all shrewd and capable leaders. The chieftain is also optimistic about the abundance of prey now that spring is here.
Two days later, the pig chieftain and the beastmen arrived in the lion clan's territory with a rich harvest of prey. When the lion chieftain saw the gifts, he thought to himself, "Don't let their foolish appearance fool you. That's just an act. Look at what they've accomplished; no other clan can compare."
"Brother, long time no see! You wouldn't believe it, every family in our tribe is having three, four, or even five babies born now! Thank you so much, brother! From today onwards, you're my real brother!" The pig chieftain finished speaking, then turned to the male orc behind him and said, "Call me brother."
"Big Brother!" the pig-beastmen shouted in unison.
Chieftain... he almost thought I was some kind of gangster boss in the Beast World.
"Brothers, you're too kind. Why did you bring so much game? Come on in, have dinner in our tribe tonight, stay the night, and go back tomorrow. Come on, come on," the chieftain said, putting his hand on the pig chieftain's shoulder.
"Brother, this isn't quite right!" Chief Pig was delighted to receive the Lion Chief's invitation, but he still had to be polite.
"What's good or bad? Come on in. Last year, when our tribe opened up teaching people how to grow stone fruit, did anyone from your tribe come to learn?" the chieftain asked.
"Brother, no, we didn't know. Other tribes are afraid we'll find out. Last time, for some reason, they were so nice to us, saying your tribe had elixirs to exchange for." That's how we found out.
"It's alright. Leave two orcs behind tomorrow. It's spring now, and we're planning to plant stone fruits. Let them learn how, and once they've mastered it, they can take some back to plant."
"Thank you so much, brother!" The pig chieftain was so moved he was almost in tears.
The chieftain led them to the plaza and instructed the lion-clan beastmen to prepare the game and set out a row of stone pots, intending to have dinner there that evening.
At dinner, the boar and lion beastmen chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere. They shared their lives and hunting techniques. The boar beastmen genuinely wanted to make friends, and the lion beastmen sensed this, so the more they talked, the deeper their bond grew.
