From winter to spring, the weather gradually warms up, herbivores gradually move back here to graze, and predators begin to appear more and more frequently. The orcs had enough prey, and the smiles on their faces gradually increased.

Because of the process of foraging in winter, Gerald and his group of young children are no longer satisfied with fighting every day, and they began to participate in hunting.

Of course, as an advocate, Gerald is very clear about the situation of his own cubs. They can’t participate in the capture of large prey with the adult orcs. Their claws and teeth are too immature, their bodies are not strong enough, and they are not in the slightest. Experience against the enemy, rushing into the hunting of adults will only make them a burden.

Although the cubs are young, they can’t help but want to show their paws. They choose to exercise themselves in less dangerous ways.

Their range is in the vicinity of the tribe where orcs patrol, so they can turn to adults for help even if they are in danger. Their prey targets are usually less lethal animals such as rabbits and pheasants, and occasionally they will catch some young lambs that are separated from the flock.

So the surrounding small animals suffered again, or they were moved away from afar, or they were brought together by Gerald with the little friends. Although everyone is a small animal, Gerald’s group is obviously much more fierce than the small animals living around. Orc cubs like to eat meat, this is their nature, even the chick Benben and lamb Mianmian who seem to belong to the herbivore family are no exception. When facing the pheasant, the little chick didn’t let the water out because everyone was a chicken, and the little lamb didn’t have the slightest bit of baa when he caught the little lamb who treated himself as a kind and baa friendly at himself. Show mercy.

While chasing the little animals, Gerald accidentally stepped into a small pile of snow that had not yet had time to melt.

He felt strange because it was halfway through spring at this time.

“Strange, how come there is still snow at this time? Is this a cold area?” Gerald wondered for a while, and when he heard the friends around him calling him, he put the thought behind his head and happily chatted with his friends. We went to catch chickens and hares together.

The orc cubs come home every day full of food, and have their own snacks from hunting. After a spring, each one becomes plump and fatter than before the winter.

“Claire, why do you think Gerald is always running out lately?” Pascal was in a bad mood when he just dragged back a fat warthog and wanted to share it with his son, but found that his son ran past him to the door. How about family time? What about the life of the two lions?

Claire couldn’t feel Pascal’s depressed mood at all, she smiled and said, “It’s better for males to be more lively, Mr. Pascal, you were always running around when you were young, and the city lord and the city lord’s wife couldn’t find you. I’m very worried. Have you forgotten?”

Claire was Pascal’s playmate when she was a child, and became Pascal’s bodyguard when she grew up. She knew most of Pascal’s affairs, and at the end, she did not forget to add one sentence: “Compared to you, Gerald is already very good.”

“Really? I don’t remember what happened so long ago.” Pascal’s tone showed a slight sense of disappointment.

“Ah, sorry, I…” Claire just remembered that Pascal’s parents were no longer there.

“It’s alright, Claire. My father and mother are gone, but they will always be in my heart. It’s definitely not painful for me to remember the days I spent with them, on the contrary, I’m thankful that someone be able to be by my side and chat with me from time to time.”
