Yu Lin Bloodhawk returned to his quarters and called together a small squad of troll soldiers. He decided to visit the pig farm first and get a clear picture of the situation.
The pig farm currently had twenty-one remaining human bandit prisoners tending the pigs, with ten human soldiers watching over them. These stubborn men, bent on becoming pirates, were not welcome here.
They did a great deal of work every day, but if they refused, they got no food. More than thirteen hundred pigs certainly kept them exhausted. Their eyes brimmed with tears when they saw Yu Lin Bloodhawk arrive, but unfortunately, he would never recruit them into his troops again. Sometimes, once an opportunity was lost, there would be no second chance. Their only hope was to wait for Little Priest Luo Lin to ransom them.
After inspecting the pig farm, he had a clearer idea of the situation. There were 272 giant bloodfang boars in all, including 121 males of various sizes. He felt he could select 250 as battle pets for the City Lord's Household Guard, or form another five squads specifically to guard the harbor and the pig farm. They could serve as guards while also providing semen or breeding stock for purebred pigs.
He considered it for a long time and finally decided that forming a dedicated guard unit would be better. The other aspects of the pig farm were satisfactory. The only serious problem was the pigs' manure and urine. That had to be dealt with as soon as possible, or it could easily lead to a widespread outbreak of disease.
Clearly, those twenty prisoners alone would not be enough to solve the problem. He needed more people, either human recruits or troll prisoners. Having high elves do this work was obviously impossible,
