Chapter 343 Rewards based on merit
Among those attending the banquet were members of the Mammoth Tribe. Their tribe consisted of only 7,200 orcs. Initially, they sent out a few hundred orcs, and later sent 3,000 orcs before the beast tide. During the beast tide, they rushed back to resist it.
In early spring, they sent over three thousand orcs to help.
If it weren't for the orcs of the Mammoth Tribe, the walls of Hope City would never have been built so quickly.
The Parrot Tribe and the Mammoth Tribe have always had a good relationship. The Parrot Tribe, a medium-sized tribe with more than 10,000 orcs, also sent more than 2,000 orcs to help.
After the elders representing the Black Dog Tribe and the Tanuki Tribe sent messages back from the Holy City, each tribe dispatched more than three thousand orcs to help.
However, the gerbil tribe, Tibetan fox tribe, honey badger tribe, golden-haired rat tribe, sloth tribe, long-legged rabbit tribe, and so on, were all tribes that came to help very early on.
The order in which they were seated in the main hall was naturally based on the order in which they had helped.
Ruan Xiyue raised her glass: "These fruit juices are some special little things I made myself. Although they are rare, they are quite precious. I don't know if they will be of any help to everyone, but I'm sharing them today!"
Ruan Xiyue added some mint-like juice to these juices.
However, the key point is that a large bucket of powdered juice bought from the system store also contained forty health-enhancing pills and twenty blood-nourishing pills.
After Ruan Xiyue took a sip, she asked Duoduo to test whether drinking it would improve the health of all the orcs.
Some orcs were slow to react and didn't feel any change after drinking it.
However, some orcs were so tired that after drinking this so-called fruit juice, they felt the effects of the health-strengthening pills and blood-replenishing pills on their bodies.
Everyone inevitably started whispering among themselves.
"You didn't feel it because you didn't put in much effort today. You were in charge of the management and coordination, but you didn't help out. You can't feel the magic of this fruit juice!" The mammoth tribe orc looked at the gerbil tribe orc with disdain.
The orc from the gerbil tribe, his face flushed red, glanced furtively at Ruan Xiyue and said defiantly, "Coordination is difficult too! Don't make it sound like we didn't contribute!"
The orcs from the Tibetan Fox tribe quickly stepped forward to mediate: "Everyone has worked hard. Today, the Holy Maiden Xiyue clearly meant well. It wouldn't be good if it caused you to start arguing!"
Ruan Xiyue clapped her hands, and the orcs of the Cheetah Lion Tribe entered the main hall one after another, carrying fragrant dishes.
This method of cooking by frying and stir-frying has not yet become widely popular because males, when eating meat, pay more attention to the quality and nutritional value of wild animal meat.
Therefore, the delicious and visually appealing dishes that Ruan Xiyue presented instantly captured everyone's hearts.
Ruan Xiyue first let everyone start eating. After eating for a while, Ruan Xiyue raised her glass and specifically toasted the leader of the Mammoth Tribe.
"We hope that Beast City is a newly built Beast City, which will require the recruitment of a large number of guards. Their age should be between adulthood and thirty years old, and there are also certain restrictions on their ability level."
"We have decided to grant the Mammoth Tribe a special quota of two hundred orcs, while the other tribes will each receive one hundred orcs."
Upon hearing this, the orcs of the Black Dog tribe couldn't help but sneer.
"Is being a guard some kind of very prestigious position?"
The orcs of the Tanuki tribe naturally didn't want to pay attention to the Black Dog tribe. The leader they sent this time was very intelligent, and she decided to observe before making a decision.
She would never ridicule someone without knowing anything about them.
The leader of the Black Dog Tribe felt his pride had been humiliated when the leader of the Tanuki Tribe didn't respond to him, and he was very dissatisfied.
Both of their tribes were large, and being relegated to the back already made him unhappy.
He wanted to mock Ruan Xiyue, the Holy Female Priest, but no one responded, which annoyed him.
Just then, he sneered, his voice slightly louder than before: "As expected of a female leader..."
Then the leader of the Tanuki tribe whispered a rebuke to him, "Shut up! I can't hear you!"
It turned out that the orcs from the medium-sized tribes didn't complain about the small number of guard positions; instead, they all asked, "Holy Mother Xiyue! Is our Gerbil tribe only giving out one hundred positions?"
“Our Deer Tribe has been helping and supporting the Cheetah Lion Tribe for a long time, so one hundred spots are really too few.”
Ignoring all that, the Tibetan Fox Tribe asked, "Holy Mother Xiyue, will these one hundred guards receive the same treatment as the other guards?"
The orcs of the Mammoth Tribe are generally quite simple-minded. They are like worker ants that follow orders. If you ask them to do something, they will work hard without thinking about the intricacies involved.
Therefore, the leader of the Mammoth tribe asked the leader of the Parrot tribe sitting at the table next to him in a low voice, "Guards are required to swear an oath to the Beast God. They are only slightly better than slaves, as they do not bear the mark of slavery. Why are they fighting over them so fiercely?"
The leader of the Parrot Tribe widened his eyes: "Brother, you don't know? You usually have the most contact with the orcs of the Cheetah Lion Tribe. Don't you chat and ask them about it?"
The leader of the mammoth tribe looked puzzled: "When working together and not knowing what to do, do you chat or ask about something?"
The leader of the parrot tribe was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you!"
The parrot tribe leader whispered to the mammoth tribe leader about the treatment of the guards, but the mammoth tribe leader did not show any joy.
The parrot tribe leader looked at the mammoth tribe leader in surprise: "Aren't you excited? Two hundred guard slots mean your tribe can get two hundred cubs every year! The guards' treatment is that each member receives a cup of healing water every year, and that healing water can basically guarantee that 90% of the females will get pregnant!"
The leader of the mammoth tribe sighed, "Our mammoth tribe's beastmen are enormous. It's not actually that difficult for our mammoth tribe's females to give birth; they give birth every three to five years. However, our tribe is declining because the number of females is decreasing."
"When females from other tribes mate with males from our tribe, the offspring they give birth to are rarely of our mammoth race, which is why there are fewer orcs in our tribe."
"Unless the mates of the two hundred male guards we select are all females of the mammoth tribe, the offspring they produce will most likely not be of our mammoth tribe."
The parrot tribe leader gripped the mammoth tribe leader tightly and whispered in his ear, "I heard that the Holy Mother Xiyue is researching herbs to increase the birth rate of female offspring. Since the Holy Mother Xiyue thinks so highly of your tribe, she might take extra care of you!"
"Never mind all that! Just agree! Go and choose the right male guards!" The parrot tribe leader was speechless.
"When the Western Beast City was built, your tribe still helped the most and contributed the most, but they rewarded you based on the size of your tribe. It's truly rare to find someone like Holy Mother Xiyue who rewards based on merit, and yet you're still complaining!"
The Mammoth Tribe shook their heads: "No, when we came to help, we just wanted to reduce the amount of tribute we had to pay. I wasn't being picky at all!"
