My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2596 -866: The Master of Hunting: You Little Brat! I Treated You So Well, and You Dare Fool Me! (Part 2)

This guy indeed possesses an indescribable wolf-like charm.

If Nash hadn’t already followed the Wise Wolf, he might have been willing to lay down his life for such a leader.

“So, Hog learned these from human historians?”

Huggesen listened to Nash’s detailed description, nodded, and said:

“It is rare for the Wolf People to keep historical records. Only the Blood Scar Clan has some priests interested in the past. My ancestors also tried to cultivate scholars to specifically record history, but unfortunately, their rule over the Wolf People civilization was too short.

If we cannot learn from past mistakes, it is difficult for us to grow, and without summarizing experiences from past victories, we cannot overcome our current dilemmas.

Alas, a nation that doesn’t understand how to record its history is hopeless.”

“Chieftain Hog once said that he would become the first true historian in the Wolf People civilization.”

Nash whispered:

“He also said something very similar to your sentiment. In fact, he left behind a thesis, which he wrote after completing his studies with Professor Malcolm, Chieftain Hog considered it his first notable achievement in life.”

“Oh? Let me see it.”

Huggesen took off his helmet, revealing a face that was remarkably handsome and dignified for a member of the Wolf People. He set his war hammer aside and said to Nash.

This was good news for Nash.

The short-statured Wolf People chieftain was now focused only on appeasing Huggesen, and immediately dispatched a guard to retrieve all the materials left behind by Chieftain Hog from his lair.

As a leader personally cultivated by the Claw Chief Mother, Huggesen was, of course, literate. Although his writing was unattractive, reading was not difficult for him.

He spent some time reading Hog’s thesis, which analyzed the underlying logic of the Wolf People and the Black Disaster, from start to finish, and he highly praised some of the viewpoints presented within.

The Black Disaster is essentially not a malicious invasion; it was a necessary migration by the Jackals of the Dark Mountain Range due to survival pressures and drastic environmental changes. In his thesis, Hog not only summarized this concept from the perspective of the Wolf People but also proposed his solutions.

He believed that to completely resolve the Black Disaster, the Wolf People must transition from their barbaric habits to civilization, at the very least learning to control reproduction rates. Furthermore, adopting more advanced production models is necessary. If the Wolf People could farm and sustain themselves instead of maintaining their nomadic tradition, they could eliminate the bane of the Black Disaster through self-sufficiency.

Although most areas of the Dark Mountain Range are barren, there are actually plenty of places suitable for production.

Huggesen thought these two solutions were somewhat idealistic, but he had to admit Hog’s thinking was correct because the way he was raised by Chief Botana was similar.

Although the Pī zhǎo Clan does not cultivate crops on the Ash Plains, under Chief Botana’s guidance, the clan members cultivate a large amount of herbs which they use to exchange for enough food from the Goat Man, avoiding the need for conflict with other clans over a patch of grassland.

Additionally, Huggesen, through stories told by his lover Nanaque, learned that the Whip-tail Clan’s rapid development was due to Old Chief Xinger’s skillful management.

Despite his seemingly elderly and muddled appearance, he maintained relatively good relations with most of the forces in the Dark Mountain Range.

The Whip-tail Clan engages in simple trade with the Goat Man, Sinful Dwarfs, and even Shadow Elves; selling various resources from the fertile areas they occupy to obtain daily necessities from the Goat Man, weapons and minerals from the Sinful Dwarfs, and finally sufficient food from the Shadow Elves.

The Pī zhǎo Clan’s production model was inspired by the Whip-tail Clan’s approach.

Huggesen previously only saw Chief Xinger as a very capable leader, and the Potana Matriarch frequently warned him not to underestimate Old Xinger, but it was only because of Hog’s thesis that Huggesen realized for the first time why Old Xinger was more impressive than other chiefs.

The old fellow’s operational skills were astoundingly shrewd, not at all like a typical Wolf Person.

“Chieftain Hog said that to be a good chieftain, one must ensure the clan members are well-fed, as this is the first step toward civilization.”

Nash, pondering for words, spoke to buy more time and said to the contemplative Huggesen:

“Chieftain Hog also said that the failure of the King of Bone Biting was because he was too hasty. Had King Felix’s regime been given an additional ten years to develop and establish order, the Jackal army grown from ten years of accumulation could easily conquer the world.

Unfortunately, when King Felix established his regime, it coincided with the psychic surge of the Dark Mountain Range, leaving insufficient time for gradual development.

In this respect, the failure of the King of Bone Biting was indeed dictated by fate.”

“His ideas are well-conceived, but that’s because he only managed one Bloodclaw Clan and had full support from that vampire Murphy, making it easy to feed you all and give you time to learn and change beyond the influence of hunger.”

Huggesen snorted and said:

“If Hog truly possessed a great clan in the Dark Mountain Range, he would understand how idealistic his measures really are, Nash, do you know what a Jackal’s life in the Dark Mountain Range is like?”
