Chapter 273 Building the City Wall
When the main force returned to the valley that evening, they were greeted by all the orcs.
When they learned that everything had gone smoothly and that each of them had received three steamed buns, everyone looked on with envy.
Ruan Mianmian smiled happily as she watched her tribespeople laughing and joking.
Now that we have lime, building the city wall is an urgent matter.
The next day, Tu and a few other orcs led the elephant orcs to dig soil, while Ruan Mianmian and Yong went out to measure the size of the valley and the locations where city walls needed to be built.
Starting today, the valley will begin infrastructure construction. Adult orcs, females, and cubs will all have their own tasks.
Beside the lake in the valley, Ruan Mianmian had already let them dig a large pit.
This big pit is for mixing mud later.
Some of the beastmen went out to find stones, while the little beastmen roamed around the valley, always managing to find small holes and cracks.
Yu then led the group of little beastmen to search for the gaps in the valley so that they could be repaired later.
The females weren't idle either; they were tidying up the supplies in the cave.
Now that everyone is mobilized, the tasks of cooking and grilling meat have fallen to them.
In the past, the females in the tribe were well taken care of, but now they really have to be both elegant in the living room and skilled in the kitchen.
Didn't you see Daman coming back carrying a huge rock?
Their role as females is also very important!
Ever since Miyue and the others consumed the "miracle" given by the leader, their physical and mental appearance has changed significantly. In particular, their fur is glossy and smooth after the transformation, which makes all the females extremely envious.
The chief said that as long as someone makes a contribution to the tribe, everyone can receive a "miracle".
Now is the time when the tribe needs manpower, and it's time for the females to play their part.
The valley is located on one side of the plain, surrounded by mountains on two sides, and contains rivers and lakes that run through the entire valley.
If you want to build a wall, then you need to build two walls.
After placing the boulder in the designated spot, Daman clapped his hands and proudly said, "This stone is perfect for building the city wall."
Seeing this, the other female elephants followed suit, diligently carrying various materials.
Some males are responsible for mixing soil, lime, sand, and water into a slurry, which is used to bind stones together.
As Hui stirred the mud, he laughed and said, "We must build the city walls firmly to make the tribe safer."
With everyone working together, the material gradually took shape.
At this moment, the little beastmen ran over to report that they had discovered a relatively hidden gap in the valley, which could easily become a passage for enemy invasion if not blocked.
So the males changed their plans and prioritized building small defensive works at the gap.
Ruan Mianmian taught the beastmen how to stack stones and how to fill the holes.
In addition, since they had experience building walls around caves, all the gaps, large and small, were filled in.
All that was left was to start building the city walls.
It was already noon, and the females were preparing a barbecue feast.
They had been watching the males grill the food for a while, and now they wanted to try it themselves.
The valley is now filled with a mixture of rocks, clay, sand, and lime.
The females first collected clean stones and used them to build a simple grill.
Next, they found fresh meat from the stored food, including venison, rabbit, and wild boar.
They imitated how the male orcs used to roast meat, first skewering pieces of meat with sharp branches and then placing them on the grill to roast.
However, some of the females didn't cook properly, and their meat burned quickly, causing a burst of laughter from those around them.
Ruan Mianmian patiently instructed them to keep turning the meat skewers and to sprinkle salt and other seasonings on them as needed.
Meanwhile, the male orcs were busily building defensive fortifications at the breach.
They had a clear division of labor: the stronger ones were responsible for moving large stones, while the slightly smaller ones were responsible for stacking and smearing mud behind them.
The little beastmen weren't idle either; they ran around helping to pass things.
When the sun is directly overhead, the aroma of roasted meat fills the air.
The females successfully roasted a lot of delicious meat and invited the male beastmen and the little beastmen to come and enjoy it.
